BILL TO EXTEND
 TO WOMEN JURY ] DUTY IMPERILED
Women Support House Com
 mittee Tn Striking Sex Exemption Provision

Prospects for passage of the Brown Women Jury measure were not brightened any yesterday at the hear ing held by the House Judiciary Com, mittee at which several local women appeared to present their views on tho kind of law wanted and the ex- emptions from jury service desired by them. Prior to the hearing il was known that the House committee had clause allowing women to claim ex- emption on account of sex.
 i Tho majority of tho women who appeared yesterday afternoon were opposed to exemption being allowed on such ground. Most of them de clarod they favored law requiring women to serve as jurors rather than perm fitting such a sorvicc as it might be desired by individuals. The con trary view was presented by Mrs. E. H. Kaser. who appeared as q representative of tho Federation of Women's Clubs in Alaska. That or- ganization, she said, was pledged to a law requiring jury service by women but that would leave it op- tional with every woman whether or not she would accept the obligation.
 Following the hearing, it was re- ported that tho committee would bring in a report in the near future opposing the optional feature of the Brown measure. If the bill is thus amended and the sex exemption clause. stricken by the House, it is reported that the Senate will refuse to agree to the amendments. At is understood that the upper House will stand pat on its original bill, and in dications apparently poirl. to dead lock between the two Houses cl the measure

IA heavy season for road work in
 the Haines district is planned for
 this summer by the Alaska Road
 Commission, according to a state
 ment made by Col John c. Gotwals The extension of the road along the

Five miles of the road is already completed Work will start about May 15, the earliest pos. sible date.
 The most important reconnaissance work this spring are those of Junior Engineer Haslam, between Chata. n.ka and Circle, and Ross Kinney, from ChataIiIka to Beaver, Colonel Gotwals said Both these routes are impolltant tributaries to the railroad. Work upon the Circle route Is al ready under way and a bridge has been constructed across the Chata. niloa River
 "The wonderful spring weather in fine Interior of Alaska is ideal for reconnaissance work" said Colonel Gotwals. Tt is at this time of the year the most important work is car ried on. There are no storms and the snow is excellent for travel"
 Colonel Gotwals said there is strong probability that construction will be started on the High Trail in Mckinley Park this year. Recon naissance work was carried on for the trail two years ago by Colonel Gotwals and the trail was laid last year.
 Colonel Gotwals will leave Juneau tomorrow on the steamer Northwest. ern for Anchorage, where he will take over the duties of Vice4Chair- man of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, to which office he was recently by Col.

HOUSE MEMORIAL SEEKS REMOVAL
 OF LIMITATIONS
Price Introduces Memorial of Restrictions Declared
 to Be Detrimental.

Amendment of the Organic Act by Congress to give tho Territorial Legls lature authority to repeal. amend or modify laws of the United States pro
 viding for taxes on business or trade
 in Alaska and the Act of January 27. 1905, creating the Alaska Fund, is asked in House Joint Memorial No
 13, which was introduced yesterday by Representative Price, of Anchor. age. The reasons which led Congress to limit the powers of the Territor-
 al Legislature in this respect are claimed to have disappeared.
 The memorial declares:
 "Your memorialsts, the Senate and House Of Representative of the Ter ritory of Alaska, respectfully present:
 That many of the provisions of the Organic Act of the Territory closely limiting the power Of the Legislature have served their useful ness and become a detriment rather than an aid to the Territory. Espe- cially is this true of that part of Section 3 of the Organic Act, which prohibits the Legislature from mod flying the laws of the United States providing for tax on business and trade, and of tho Act entitled An Act to provide fer the construction and maintenance of roads, establish melt and maintenance Of schools, and Iuhe care and support of insane per sons in the District of Alaska, ana for other purposes approved January 27, 1905, creating tho Alaska Fund. The purpose of this provision was to insure permanent support for schools and for the construction of roads. The Fund created by the last named act yields for the above named pur- poses about two hundred thousand dollars ($200, 100000 annually, while the Territorial Legislature regularly approprlates every biennium for the above named purposes nearly one million dollars t$1,000,000.o0). The acts in question render duplication eff taxes and of officers to enforce the same necessary, and thereby caus- ing much confusion and waste of en- orgy. Your memorialists are con yinced that the reasons for inserting the above named provisions in the Organic Act have disappeared.
 "Whercfore. your memorialists pray that such amendment be made to the Organic Act of the Territory as to give the Legislature of the Terri tory full authority to repeal, amend or modify the above named enact ments of Congress"

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women lave kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.
