Speaker was a faithful voter and didn't he himself introduce the vicious measure that would abolish the pri- maries and throw nominations to the old and discredited system of proxy conventions. As newspaper man some progressive ideas were expected from Charley, but he was possibly the most reactionary figure in the en- tire Legislature. His head was turned by contact with the Head EXecutioner and the prominence given him by the Organ. But then Charley wrote his own political obituary.

THE BASTARD BILL;
 H. R. NUMBER 78

The bill is above named because. it sneaked into the House of Represen- tatives and was assigned number 78 but while it carried the name of George Moody, of Fairbanks, he dis owned it.
 The bill is otherwise known as the "Rotating Ballot Bill," and designat- ed by the Juneau Empire as being one of the measures designed to "purify the ballot"
 It was a most difficult bill to un- derstand. Representative Jense m of Nome declared on the floor of the House that it would take "Phila- delphia lawyer" to explain the bill. MT. Moody, until then the legitimate father of the bill, rose to his feet ard declared that the bill was good bill, but later said he could not give MT. Jensen the explanation asked for because the bill was not his any way.
 Representative William L. Paul then addressed the Speaker, and said that he of course supposed that the father of the bill was MT. Moody since it carried his rame, but since he had disclaimed it, he thought the House had the right to ask MT. Moody who was the father.
 MT. Moody then replied, "The bill was handed to me, and I consider that this is personal matter, and 1 do not care to answer your ques- tion."
 The bill was "born in the woods," without a known father, and this be- ing so, the House of Representatives refused to mother the bill ard de- feated it by the vote of 8 to 8. So the bill, No. IS, became not only fatherless but motherless.
 It is thought that the idea, "Ro- tating," came to MT. Moody shortly after he began buying it by the case because it was so much cheaper that way. No more of that, how ever, for we have heard that the boss of the family is a strong work CT in the Fairbanks w. c. T. U. and so George will have to be satisfied with nothing stronger than water.

THE 1925 LEGISLATURE
Continued from page Three

of "once is once too much" 1t might be all right for Fairbanks but 1t Is tough on the Legislature.
 VIM. A. SHERMAN-Bill also had a pleasant time and wasn't so busy otherwise but that he could occasion ally introduce a bill that was given him, second a motion and even move to adjourn. And at all times he re- mained placid, was good-natured, and never kicked on orders. As good Democrat he worshipped Joe, and felt rather complimented that he was re- lieved of figuring things out for hlm- self. He appreciated the outing ana undoubtedly would like to return tor another session, if the Third division would again be content with partial delegation.
 R. N. SUNDQUIST-The youngest man in the House gave much e1foft to learning the ways of Legislators and to analyzing the measures up for consideration. His efforts to do the right thing at the right time were more than reasonably successful Al ways alert to help along needed leg islation for his division, Dick was usually keen in shying off from meas ures that would tend to annul the pro- gressive bills now on our statute books and to give political tricksters a throttle hold on Territorial affairs.
 HARRY WATSON - Ruskin has said that "All people are more or less transparent, though few be genuine" And it can scarcely be said that Harry is one of the latter class. Harry ap- peared to want to do the right thing in Legislative matters, usually sought information and apparently gave con- scientious thought to important meas ures, but almost invariably voted with the political junkers. As an employe of the Interior Department, in con- nection with the Alaska Railroad, he was even prevailed upon to criticize a former Attorney General and our present Delegate to Congress, because it might tend to make a little political capital for the enemies of the voters who elected Harry. The thing that matters is what man really is, and from a perusal of Harry's Legislative record it may readily be seen that he IS NOT. But he is just as Independ- ent as Little Bobby proudly boasts he is.

MARQUAM'S TRAINED
 SEALS

Juneau to exhibit his three trained seals, Harry, George and Bobby, the seals were there ahead of him, Tom having checked them through before his own departure from Fairbanks. During the first days of the session the seals were the most woe-begone and disconsolate little fellows ever seen at Juneau. They could not per- form one little stunt until the arrival of their trainer. With Toms arrival a complete change in demeanor took place, and the little fellows at once became animated and would perform any little trick that was suggested to their trainer. It was a marvellous sight to Juneau spectators to see the little fellows in action on the floor of the House with their trainer in the audience. They recognized no voice except that of their master, and the select social set of Juneau really i'm posed on Marquam in their insistence that the seals should keep up con- tinuous performance. Some of the stunts Marquam made them try at the request of Troy, Bone, ct al, were very difficult ones, but they seemed very willing to try, even though it distorted them mentally and physi- cally. They were fed regularly at the mansion and with the elite of Juneau as a reward for their performances, very much as the trained seals of the circus are rewarded with fish after each performance.
 1t seemed at times as if George and Harry were jealous of the attention shown to Bobby, the short flippered one of the trio, but he was the cutest of them all.
 The matrons of the high social set of Juneau besieged Marquam all through the session with invitations to dinners and social functions in or der that he might bring Bobby along for their entertainment. This was the cause of the jealousy of Harry amt George, who could not seem to com prehend the reason for this favorit- ism, and attributed it to Toms affec tion for Bobby. The reason was that they were long flippered fellows and too clumsy for the requirements of etiquette. The devotion of Bobby to his master was the subject of con- versation at all social functions they attended. All three seals seemed lost and incapable of action if Marquam was out of sight for a minute, but Bobby at such times wore mournful expression that aroused the pity of all beholders.
 The attachment of seals to their masters has become symbolic of all that can be expressed in animal devo- tim It is doubtful if it's intenseneSS

.IROY GILLEY ON
 WAY TO STATES

Roy Gilley the we'll known explorer and guide to the Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes, passed through Seward on the Admiral Watson yesterday on his way to Seattle and San Francisco, where he hopes to interest parties in tourist accommodations in the now fa- nous valley. MT. Gilley, while absent will also try to interest the steamship companies in touching in at the har- bor at the entrance to the valley, and for this purpose is taking out a large number of fine views secured by him in and around Mt. Katmai. While in this district this year, MT. Gilley re- ported the discovery of a large hot spring, the water being nearly at the boiling point.
 He believes that with little gov ernmental aid the trip to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes could be made as easily as the trip through Yellowstone and other national parks. He carried with him samples of the colored deposits of the Valley, and they are every color of the rainbow
 There is no grander sight on the face of the globe than to stand on a peak overlooking the Valley, and see the thousands of fumeroles with their plumes of steam jetting from the earth, and the multicolOred cliffs and the colors shown in their true blends without having the public say his work was Overdrawn and farfetched, and yet Natures limner has gone further than the hand of man and given a kaleido- scopic effect which must be seen to be appreciated"
 1 MT. Gilley has recently returned from a furbuying trip on the Boring Sea side of the peninsula, and while there passed within a short distance of the airplane in which Major Martin and Sergt. Harvey made their trip on lHelF projected WOIlu IHSHl, coming to grief on a low plateau in the hills. MT. Gilley has picture taken of the plane showing that it is miles from where Major Martin alleged it came down. He refused to discuss the air plane disaster with our reporter, stat ing that Major Martin had made his report and it was accepted by the government and the subject closed MT.

PEGGY ELINOR
 HALFERTY DEAD

KODIAK, Alaska, Feb. 17-On Jan uary 29, the entire community at Ko- diak was greatly saddened by the sudden passing of little Peggy Elinor, the only daughter of MT. and Mrs. z. T. Halferty of this place. She was but little more than three years of age, and with her sweet disposition and sunny smiles had won her way into the depths of all our hearts, for we all loved her dearly and shall miss her presence. Our one consolation is that our little friend was not called upon to suffer long, for her life passed quietly and gently on in just the same way that she had crept into our af- | factions.
 The funeral was conducted at the home by M L. Hickman of the Kodiak Baptist Orphanage. Appropriate mu- sic was furnished by Mir. and Mrs. Harry Grub and Miss Sloan. The pall- bearers were Messrs. Karl Armstrong, Harry White, Earle Simmons and w. J. Erskine. The prayer by MT. Rick man at the grave completed the sim pie and impressive service Out of re- spect for little Peggy, all of the busi- ness houses of Kodiak closed their doors for the funeral service. The sincerest sympathy is felt by the en- tire population of Kodiak for her par ents, MT. and Mrs. Halferty, and her little brother, Daniel.

FRENCH TROOPS
MASSACRE $4,000
ARABS IN S YRIA
Palestine Arabs Expose
French

LONDON, Oct. According to a
telegram sent by the secretary of the
Arab Congress in Palestine more
than $4,000 men, women and children
were brutally murdered by the ruth.
less French imperialist troops in
Syria.
After the French had burned a
number of native villages a little to
the southeast of Damascus, and muir
dered 700 Arabs at Hama, "a of the
murdered Arabs were strapped to the
backs of cameis and brought into
Damascus to the Musselman quarter
as an example to the natives.
The sight Of the dead bodies on
swaying camels and news of the re-
prisals disguised the Arabs and i'm
mediately demonstrations against the
French began. The French then at
tackled the Arabs. In defending
themselves from the brutal French at
tacks, the Arabs killed some of the
attackers and this was followed by
the horrible reprisals described by
the secretary of the Palestine Arab
Congress in the following telegram:
1.-THE French have continued the
bombardment Of Damascus for fifty
hours.
1.-The greater part of the city is
demolished, thousands are homeless
and thousands of innocent persons
have persisted. The French armed
Armenian immigrants, who committed
fearful depradations.
1.-THE French are suppressing reli-
able news. The fugitives say that
more than $4,000, including many wo-
men and children, persisted in the
ruins"
The British press is aghast at this
action of the French and many of the
newspapers are attacking the French
imperialist policy and the methods
used by General Sarril in the Syrian
campaign to defeat the yearning for
independence among the natives of
Syria.

TURKEY REFUSES
TO ATTEND HAGUE
COURT ON MOSUL
Will Not Submit to Court
Arbitration

THE HAGUE, Oct. 27-Turkey has
refused to participate in the extraor-
binary sessions of the permanent
court Of international justice.
In telegram to the court, whose
sessions have just been opened,
Turkey takes the stand that she will
not submit the Mosul boundary dis.
pute to arbitration before the league
of nations. She also tells the court
that it has no business to pass upon
whether the league of nations have a
right to arbitrate or not, as the
boundary dispute is a political issue.
Court Hears English.
Despite the absence of Turkey, the
court began to hear the evidence
which Sir Douglas Hogg, the British
delegate who is living up to his
name, is presenting to show why the
court should allow the league Of ma
tions to arbitrate the issue.
Turkey refuses to abide by any de-
cision to arbitrate the Mosul issue
before the league Of nations, as IL was
the league of nations that handed
Mosul and its oil fields to Great Brit
ain in the league mandate for Iraq.
