Special to Gateway

JUNEAU, Alaska, April 24.-Suth- erland men in the Senate today brot about the defeat of Sheldon's resolu- tion endorsing the appointment of George Parks for Governor and thank ing the President for the appoint ment. They also showed under Di- mond's memorial defending Alaska's good name against the charges of law lessness, made in the Stone interview last February.
 Sheldon's resolution which passed the House by big vote. failed to pass the Senate, the vote standing four to four, Aldrich, Brown, Dunn and Hunt, whose votes earlier this week prevented the striking of the exemption clause from the Grier Lit eracy Bill, voting no to the endorse ment of Parks.
 Stone Memorial Defeated
 The Stone memorial was defeated three to five, only Aver, Dimond and Pratt favoring the passage. Explain ing their votes against it Aldrich said it was prematurely introduced; Dunn said the message was too violent in tone; Howard opined that there might , be a mistake in the interview and Stone misquoted; Hunt, labelling his home town of Ketchikan as yice-rid den, said the charges were true, and Brown made no statement. The general taxation measure was reported to the House this morning with the salmon tax schedule restored to the rates now prevailing; traps were reduced to two hundred dol lars; the clause prohibiting munici- palities from placing license taxes on automobiles was stricken; the rates on mild-cured salmon were re- duced from fifteen cents per hundred l to five cents per hundred. There is a mixup on the mining schedule of ] taxa ton, which is unreduced from | the rates announced some time ago, three members only approving such rates while five signed the report as non concurring.
 House Defies Paul l The House defied Paul and the
 Indians on the pension issue,
 when it adopted an amendment
 yesterday expressly excluding all Indians from the old age pension ] list, the measure being identical
 with the amendment adopted yes-
 terday to the Mothers Pension
 Bill which passed the House to- day.
 Many minor measures were put 1 through both houses which are speed ing up work in an effort to clear the way for the Taxation and General Ap- propriation Bills, which have to be handled in the week remain ing of 1 the session.
