Bill Alleged to Be for Purpose of Keeping Aliens Out of Business
 Will Hit Canadians.
Especial to The Gateway
(By Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press)
 JUNEAU, Alaska, Mar. 17.-A Ter ritorial license fee system for trappers is proposed in a House bill introduced today by Representative Moody of Fairbanks, providing for S1 tax on all residents engaged in trapping or taking furs, and $1O0 fee for non residents trapping fur animals in the Territory of Alaska. The purpose of the measure is alleged to be to curb trapping by aliens, said to exist large ly in certain sections. Moody pre- scented a petition from residents at Fort Yukon, claiming that trapping to the north of that post is almost monopolized by non-residents. Some Canadian provinces already have a similar license system, British Colum- bia charging $10O, and the Northwest Territory $50
 The House passed a resolution of respect and tribute to the late w. w. Casey, of Juneau, a member of the Third and Fourth sessions of the Ter ritorial Legislature, who died in Ketchikan last fall during the cam paign in which he was a candidate for the Lower House.
 The Senate committee favorably re- ported the s120O0 deficiency bill.

 Shepherd" said Faiman, "declar- ed that we would both be rich if the deal went through successfully" !. This statement was made while Fai- man was in the room with Shepherd, who was very pale and nervous.
 He denied the accusation by say ing, You are liar," in almost a whis- per-"
 i've told the truth and you cannot deny it," replied Faiman, looking steadily at Shepherd.
 Shepherd Gives Germs
 Falman admitted again that he had given the germs to Shepherd. after Shepherd had told him he was going to inoculate someone with them, and that they meant million dollars to him if he succeeded.
