SENATE KILLS
 MINING BILL
 AT ONE BLOW
Plan for Simplifying Mining Laws Gets
 Scoring

JUNEAU, March 27.-Characteriz- ing Senate Bill Number 4, introduced at the request of Attorney General Rustgard and designed to revise the worse confounded,' the Senate yes terday killed the measure, though with much dissention on the motion for indefinite postponement. The bill was vigorously opposed by both Senators Dunn and Ayers of the Com mittee on Mines, who declared that the passage of such measure would only result in added confusion of the prospectors.
 The bill providing for the estab- lishment of a Pioneers Home for women to be located at Skagway, was tabled on the motion of Senator Aldrich, who introduced it at the beginning of the session, by request of the Skagway Women's Club. No action on the bill is probable while there are still pending various pen sion bills now before the Legislature.
 The Ayers bill making it unlawful to employ any but individuals of certified ability as foremen in coal mines was passed by the Senate yes- terday.
 In the House Senate Bill Number 24, making non-support legitimate grounds for divorce, was passed, as were seven other Senate bills, all of which were amendments to the Territorial code.
