St' 'THER1AAND TO FIGHT REAPPORTIONME OF REP
 RESERVATION IN HOUSE

Delegate Sutherland will oppose both territorial division and reap portionment of representation in the Territorial Legislature. according to a declaration made by the Delegate to R. E. Robertson. special envoy sent from Juneau to Washington, D. C.. by the Juneau City Council for the purpose of laying the division cure if possible. d reapportionment of the divisional representation in the Legislature, based on population rather than arbitrary rule of Con- gless. According to a telegram from MT. Robertson following his ar r.ral in the capital, the Delegate in formed him that he would assist in all matters except division of the territory and a reapportionment of representation The Delegate is openly against separating South AL aska from the remainder of the Ter ritory, claiming that such action is desired by the fish packers. MT. Sutherland says he favors Statehood for Alaska but will not work for it at this time, and agrees with MT. Robertson that it would be impossi- ble to achieve it at the present time, or for several years to come.
 Mir. Robertson was assured by Chairman Curry, of the House Com
 mittee on Territories that he favors partial reapportionment of legisla-
 tive representation bus is opposed
 to the division proposal. He said
 Mir. Robertson would probably be
 heard by the committee within 30
 days on the apportionment proposal.

 The visitors expressed themselves as highly pleased with its location.

 While they were at the embassy a steady stream of callers kept the porter of the Herrick household busy opening the door. Secretary Hughes received all the visitors he could, but is finding 1t impossible to see more than small proportion of those anxious to have a word with him.
