COPY OF LATEST ALASKA MEASURE. RECEIVED HERE.
Provisions of New Bill Altered Materially in Latest
 Curry Measure. STEAMSHIP PROVISION IS OMITTED ENTIRELY
Power of Alaska Road Com mission Is Safeguarded
 in New Legislation.

Copies or the latest bill on Alaska, introduced December 22 by Repre- sentative Charles F. Curry, chairman of the House Committee on Terri tories, which have just been received here, show considerable changes made in the measure from the one introduced in the Senate by Senator Harry s. New. It is believed that it is simply the New bill redrafted into a form suitable to members of the House committee
 Section three of the New bill, which provided for the establishment of a government shipping line be- tween the coast terminus of the AL aska Government Railroad and con tinental United States, is entirely omitted in the Curry bill as is also the provision relative to control of Indians by the Department of Com merce. The section relative to the transfer of the Alaska Road Com mission has been rewritten to keep to that organization it's present broad powers of administration.
 Retains Forest Service Clause
 After the enactment clause the bill provides for the transfer to the Sec retary of the Interior all powers, du- ties and functions now vested:
 "(a) In the Department of Agri culture relating to any national forest reservation, any reservation or with drawal for a ranger station, and any function vested in the Department of Agriculture in respect to forest lands on any lighthouse or other reserva- tion in the Territory of Alasa;

BRIEF STORY OF CAREER


 When the Tokio correspondent of The Associated Press in 1916 request ed Japan's great modern statesman to give him some material for sketch of his life. Marquis Okuma broke out in a smiling exclamation: 'Why sketch of mel am to live to 125. My life's work is only fairly under way"
 That conviction oftentime voiced until, as his friends say. he really and sincerely believed in it, is the explanatory essence of Okuma's ca reer. In 1915 and 1916 during the great war Okuma was prime minister of his country and leading it onward in time of great international strife with all the enthusiasm and energy and hope of a young man of 30. He was wonderful in every way even his enemies thought that
 Was Human Bridge
 Okuma was the great bridge be tween old and new Japan. His life work was devoted to reconciling the cid and the new. While striving to maintain the dignity and nobility for which the samurai fought, he yet pushed Japan forward intellectually and materially to obtain for her the rank of first class power by taking over the civilization of the West and making it an integral part of Nippon.
 Shigenobu Okuma, called Hachl tora Ckuma in his boyhood, was born in February 1888 at Saga, one of the leading cities of Kyushu, the most southern of the three great islands of Japan. He was raised by an ideal father and mother and he began life under very fortuitous circumstances. His father. Nobuyasu Okuma, was one Of the influential clansmen of Saga and was the commander of the fortress at Nagasaki.
 He became a leader of the rebel lion against the old idea that con tact with Western civilization meant danger for the empire.
 Attacked by Bomber
 Okuma's rise was not rapid. He took historic parts in the develop ment of the great Meiji reign which opened Japan to western civilization He raised loans and saw that they were paid. He labored for the aboli- tion of the feudal system and the es- tablshment of constitutional gov ernment He was minister of finance until he resigned in 1881 because his colleagues rejected his proposal for

York, Sept. 9.-There will be a
fresh hower-covered grave in old
Olney Cemetery, lin Castor county,
several miles north Of here, tomor-
row, marking the resting place of
the foruth victim Of Fighting Bill"
FAIRIES when he set out to slaughter
the family of James Taylor in the
Glover mill village last Wednesday.
Fred Taylor, twenty-five, died in. a
Gastonia hospital this morning at 5
O'Clock, after making a hard fight
for life. Fred was the last of the
six members of the Taylor family
alleged to have been shot by FAIRIES
last Wednesday. He is the last to
die since it is practically certain now
that the Misses Gertie Taylor, twen-
ty, and Dolly Taylor. ten, will recov-
er from their wounds.
Miss Gertie wanted to know to-
day how her little brother Newton
was coming along. She was not
told that he died on an operating
table in Gastonia Wednesday night.
Neither does she know that her sis
ter, Miss Leila, and her brother, Fred,
are dead. Claude Johnson was dead
when she was carried to Gastonia to
the hospital. Scores of Glover peo-
pie plan to go to York when sessions
court convenes, with view to try
ing to aid in insisting that Bill FAIRIES
be brought to trial at the present
term. (The name is spelled FAIRIES,
and not Farris, by the way.)
James Taylor and surviving men,
bers of his family were in South Gas
tonia today weeping over the body Of
the young man, Fred. He will be
missed tomorrow in the Sunday
school class he attended at Glover
Methodist church.

Smith Fauors Cottonless
Year to Kill the UeeuI

Washington, Sept. THE propo-
sal for a one-year suspension of cot-
ton planting in the United States as
a means of eliminating the boil wee
vii was suggested in the senate
Wednesday by Senator Smith, Demo
crat, South Carolina, who predicted
wholesale abandonment of cotton
farms throughout the south unless
government action was taken to
aid in destruction Of the parasite.
The South Carolina senator an
nounced he had written to the chief
entomologist Of the department. Of
agriculture, asking that study be,
made to determine whether years
lay-off in cotton growing would
eradicate the weevil. He said the
entomologist had expressed in a tele-
phonic conversation today the belief
that such action would result in de-
stroying the pest.
Senator Smith announced that as
soon as he received the report Of
the entomologist he proposed to in
troduce a resolution calling for the
cooperation as far as constitutions
ally possible ~of the federal govern
ment in the stopping of planting for
one year $50 that there may be a.
tomorrow for the cotton" industry. s.
Reduction IN Supply.
Unless the heroic remedy Is ap-
Piled" continued. the speaker, cit
will be only question of few.
years before the supply Of cotton will
be inadequate to meet the domestic
needs, much less the world demand. ="
The present loss to the country
from the ravages of the weevil
amounts to a billion dollars a year,
Senator Smith said. He suggested
that the federal and state govern
ments should join in paying the de-
felt occasioned to the growers in the
one years lay off, declaring that 1t
would be cheaper for the country In
the end even il it had to appropriate
that amount to defray the expenses
caused by the suspension of cotton
growing for one year.
Senator Smith suggested that once
the weevil was eliminated the fed
eral government could and should
resort to zoning~ the Rio Grande
border for distance of one hundred
miles in which no cotton could be
planted, expressing belief that this
action would effectually stop the in-
sect's migration.
Pointing out that production last
year was only a little more than
half Of normal and estimating that
this years crop would not exceed
nine million bales, Senator Smith
asked how long the nation could ex-
pect to maintain the balance Of trade
in it's favor if it's export Of cotton
fell away. The export demand, he
continued, is around 6,o00l00o bales
with the domestic demand exceeding
that slightly. On the basis Of this j.
years crop, he added, the country
would be 100000 short of the ex-
port requirements. ~,
