Last Bill Introduced in Terri
torial Senate Quickly
Given Death Blow.

Two important measures were
taken up in the Territorial Senate
late yesterday afternoon. one being
killed and the other given life
The measure that died shortly
after birth was Senate Bill No. 6S
introduced at the eleventh hour by
Senator Hess. This was for an ar-
preparation of $4,000 to be appor-
toned by the Governor of the Terri
tory to the United States District
Judges in the four Judicial Divisions
acc ording TO needs in paying ho3pi.
tails for care of sick or injured in
digents.
Senator Fr1wlev opposed the meas
ure from thc start that it would
create dissatisfaction and the appro.
priation would be a mere drop in the
bucket. Senator Frawley offered an
amendment that $4,000 be fixed as
the appropriation. perhaps knowia !
that this would kill the measure.
He also suggested that the appro-
priation be equally divided between
the four divisions.
Senator Chamberlin opposed this
equal division of the appropriation
on the grounds that the Second Di
vision, with less population than eny
other division, would secure too large
an amount.
Senator Hess agreed to the amend
ment providing for an appropriation
of $4,000 but believed the amount
should be left in charge of the Gov
ernor to be distributed as rec uire-
ments demanded.
The motion being made for final
massage, the bill was killed, Sena-
tors Britt Collins and Hess voting
for it and Senators Chamberln,
Frawley, Hunt. Price and SundbaGk
voting against it.

OFFICIALS DEFEND
 EUROPEAN LOANS
ANSWER SUIT. AND BILL DESIGN ED TO PREVENT FURTHER
 ADVANCES.
TAXPAYER MAY RESTRAIN
All Documents Involved in Each Transaction Will Be Investigated By Senate Judiciary Committee
 Houston Is Excused.

Washington.-Fore loans ex' tended by the Treasury during the war and since the armistice were viz orously defended by government off cials in reply 10 protests against any further extension of loans.
 Secretary Houston of the Treasury resumed testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Reed bill directing the stoppage of further loans to the debtor nations. At the same time, Solicitor General FriersoD answered in court to the suit brought by William Randolph Hearst to pre- vent further financial transactions with foreign governments.
 Mr. Houston was excused from fur ther appearance before the commit tee after he had presented a mass Of correspondence covering the entire subject of negotiations and had pointed out the impossibility of his reading them in full In the few days preceding March 4. However, he left Nicholas Kelley, assistant secre- tary in charge of foreign loans, at the disposal of the committee while it continues the investigation.
 MT. F'rierson filed with the District of Columbia Supreme Court brief re- viewing the transactions with the for eign powers, and said there was no necessity for the injunction brought by MT. Hearst as taxpayer, because Secretary Houston had no intention of establishing additional credits i'll favor of any foreign powers. He re- viewed conditions under which money was advanced to the Kerensky gov ernment of Russia, and said Secretary Houston did not concede that the plaintiff possessed a status entitling him to call in question the various credits or that the court had any jur- isdiction to determine such contro versy.
 MT. Hearst's lawyers, replying to the solicitor general, said the Su- preme Court of the United States nev- CT has refused to entertain suit by a taxpayer to prevent federal official from disposing of the money or prop erty of the United States in an al legged unlawful manner. Ii also was maintained that a taxpayer has all the interest required to restrain an executive official.
