JUDGE L. I. ERWIN PASSES AWAY AT ROCHESTER,, M|NN.
Former Federal Official and Pioneer of Alaska and
 Washington Is Dead.

Word was received last night that Judge Louis T. Erwin, formerly United States Marshal for the Fourth Division and before that united States Commissioner at Fairbanks, died yesterday at Rochester, Minn., after long illness. He had been at Rochester, for several months, a patient at the clinic of the Mayo Brothers.
 Judge Erwin was a p.oneer of Washington and Alaska. He came to this Territory from Washington in 1898 and proceeded to Dawson, where he remained for several years. He went from there to Fairbanks not long after the establishment of that town. He was engaged there in the freighting and wood business as he had been engaged at Dawson. Later he was appointed United States Com missioner at Fairbanks, and served in the municipal government. In 1913 he was appointed United States Marshal and was reappointed in 1917.
 Judge Erwin was native of Georgia and from a long American ancestry of the Old South. Early in life he became interested in politics and served in the Georgia Legisla- ture Later he removed to Tennes- see. where he again served in the Legislature.
 He came West to be agent at the Yakima Indian Reservation through appointment from President Cleve- land in his first term. He was re- appointed and served through the second Cleveland administration after an intermissfon covering the term of the Harrison administration.
 As in the South, Judge Erwin was active in politics during his residence in both Washington and Alaska, and a Democratic convention never seem- ed complete without he was there. 1t was his boast that he had com mission from every Democratic ad- minlstration the country has had since the war between the States two from President Cleveland and two from President Wilson His last political activity was as a. Delegate to the Democratic National Conven- tion which was held at San Fran cisco, where he voted for Mitchell Palmer as his choice for the Presi- dential nomination until after the withdrawal of his name. He then went to McAdoo and later to Cox.
 Judge Erwins health began to fail several years ago, and he was a frequent visitor at various health re- sorts and clinics, and had been oper- ated upon by eminent surgeons sev- eral times.
 Judge Erwin is survived by two sons, five daughters and hosts of friends in Alaska and throughout the

 Measures Passed.

I The Senate's blue sky bill. Senate 1 Bill No. Al, entitled An Act to punish
 fraudulent and unlawful acts of off
 cers and agents of corporations and associations in keeping, managing,
 using or misrcpresenting the accounts and records of such corporations and
 associations. got its first serious set
 back today when the House, taking it up for second reading, ordered it sent
 back to the Judiciary Committee for Improvement The opposition of House members was based on claims that the measure is too broad in it's application and would, if enacted i into law, create conditions worse
 than those which it is sought to remeiy.
 The action of the committee is said
 to be problematical. It has already gone ever the measure and brought it back into the House with approval Amendments may be offered by in dividual members but 1t is reported
 that unless it is amended. the bill
 will probably fail of passage in the
 House.
 The House fut the sxG Q Senate Bill Mo- 26, amending section 1,743, Compiled Laws of Alaska, by author
 izing nonresident guardian to take over the personal estates of non
 resident ward, by adopting a motion
 of indefinite postponement. Decker
 and Callahan voted against the mo- tion.
 Two House Bills, Nos. 16 and IT, and four Senate Bills, Nos. 13, 31. AZ
 and 56, were passed by the House.
 All except No. AT are minor measures
 relating to the Alaska code or amend
 ing session laws. No 47 is entitled
 An Act to denounce false pretense
 .n soliciting money for associations
 or organizations.
 Four Senate Bills passed to their third readings by the House were:
 No. 29, An Act to amend section 1873, Compiled Laws Of Alaska, rela- tive to effect of private seals; No. 23, An Act to amend section LIE, Compiled Laws of Alaska, providing
 for the adjournment of sales of prop
 erty on executions No. 37. An Act to provide for proof of service on de-
 mand; No. 45, An Act to protect public records against Justification, destruction or loss.
