HOUSE TABLES
 GENERAL EIGHT
 HOUR MEASURE
Effort to Get Referendum Fails and Measure
 Put on Table

After an effort to make the eight-hour bill an issue in the 1882 Legislature had failed for want of a second to a motion to that effect, the House yesterday afternoon by a vote O. 10 to 6 tabled that measure, and from all indications 1t will remain in that cold storage until the tenth session of the Alaska Legislature becomes history.
 Another moot measure, that to protect the Territory from indigent labor brought north under con- tract and liable to become public charges, was indefinitely postponed by vote of 12 to 4, on the motion of MT. Boyle, it's author who said frankly it probably would create worse evils than those it was de- signed to cure.
 Pass Wage Measure
 MT. Lomens measure to require maintenance of the existing stand ard of wage scales, where work is performed on public projects, was passed by the House without dis senting vote. It now goes to the Governor for approval. It is de- signed to protect local labor from an influx of cheap labor from the States. It carries a provision that extends its provisions to sub contractors whose bids are subjec. to being reduced to a day-wage basis.
 Ziegler's bill authorizing the transfer of title to Territorial fish hatchery property at Ketchi- kan and Cordova was passed, and a similar bill by MT. Foster was withdrawn by him. Johnston's measure to stock lakes on the Alas ka Railroad, Steese and Richard son Highway with game fish, ap- proprlating $500, was also passed. Two memorials-one asking a tram

SENATE PASSES WYNN BILL FOR
 NEW JURY LAW
Amends to Reduce Jury , List to 75 Per Cent of
 Voting List

The Vim Jury Bill, object of debate and opposition from church organizations, passed the Senate yesterday afternoon by a vote of T to nothing, after amendment which reduced the names to be deposited in the jury boxes by 25 per cent. It is not believed the House will concur in the amend ment.
 The major cnange ln the meas ure, as made by the Senate, is to require only 75 per cent of the names of voters to be placed in the jury boxes in each Division instead of 100 per cent as required in the bill as it passed the House.
 Passes Eight Bills
 The Senate passed eight meas ures Monday afternoon, carrying over one bill on it's files to be acted upon tomorrow. It is keep ing well abreast of the House and is in position to deal with any measures sent up to 1t.
 The two radio subsidy bills, re- gently passed by the House, were passed by the Senate yesterday. One Of these authorizes Territorial subsidy to broadcasting station north of the Gulf of Alaska and the other one south of the Gulf, each carrying an appropriation of $5.000. Ketchikan and Anchorage are the stations designed to be benefited.
 The House memorial explanatory of the Alaska Bone Dry Law repeal was also passed, Mir Hess voting in the negative although he voted for the repealer. Other House bills passed included to amend Section 878 of the Compiled Laws relative to service of summons; empowering City Councils to regu- late motor traffic including fixing of taxi-cab rates and licensing of auto drivers; House memorial urging relaxation of regulations on the taking of fish for fur farms.
 A Senate bill to reimburse the Alaska Airways s1,415 for expendi- lures incurred in the search for Pat Reid, one of the aviators en- gagged in the Eielson- -Borland res cue. was passed.
 Bills Defeated
 The Senate defeated Dimond's bill to appropriate 1000 to clear the Egegik River at the outlet of Becharof Lake; a House bill appro- priating $6,200 for the Kodiak Shipping Subsidy; and McCutch- cons bill to provide for Territorial assistance for fur farms.
 It laid on the table a House bill to add the Territorial Mine In- spector to the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, The joint leg islative inquiry committee has cer- tain recommendations to make re- garding this and other boards and commissions and the Senate put the measure on the table to await the committees report. ~

POLAND SEES
 NEW COUP IN
 REGENT MOVE
Marshal Joseph Pilsudski Quits Island Retreat
 Back in Warsaw

WARSAW, April 28-The vigor- ous and evidently refreshed Mar shal Joseph Pilsudski, who came back recently from the Portuguese island of Madeira brought with him an air of electric uncertainty for Poland's political circles.
 Persons who work with the mar shal say that whenever he has to settle important questions, he al- ways seeks solitude.
 So they couple his sojourn in a monastic-like retreat off the Afri- can coast with the fact that his last press interviews, before his departure, dealt with constitutional questions. They predict that chang es in the foundation of the Polish Republic are in the making.
 Before the coup of May, 1926, when Pilsudski seized power, he spent more than year in his modest su m m CT residence near Warsaw. So little was seen of him that politicians forgot to in- clude him in their calculations.
 Coup Like Clockwork
 He came out of that retreat with every detail of his coup worked out in advance. Not only the stroke itself but it's administration afterwards moved as if on we'll oiled ball bearings.
 Last summer the marshal disap- peared again from public view, this time spending many weeks at his farm near Vilno Rumors were cir culated that his health was so bad that he had been forced to retire.
 But in August he jumped back into the political fray. He caused himself to be appointed premier dissolved the diet and called new elections.
 So his sojourn in Madeira has had some nervous reactions on the body polite.
 What was he plotting there? Is he going to give us new magma charta' for Poland?" These and similar questions are heard on all sides.
 The present constitution is only ten years old and has already un- dgreone some changes at the be- hest of Pilsudski. He has always, however, preached the need for greater presidential powers.
 Manipulation" Called For
 The government party holds PAT out of 444 seats in the Sejm or lower house, and "A out of Ill in the upper chamber. Constitutional changes require two-thirds vote in each body, and while the Sejm is lin the bag" the upper house will require some manipulating.
 If they could understand what it is all about, his two young daugh- ters might be able to answer the queries. They are privileged char

H Duce Fears Bombs;

By vote of IS to l, Foster vot- ing in the negative, the House of Representatives this morning pass cd the appropriations bill for the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines carrying a total of $159,420. It is the first biz appropriation measure of the ses- sion to pass either body.
 MT. Foster tried to have it re- committed for further amendment declaring in view of the refusal of the House to boost the school poll tax from $5, the present levy, to $l0 as proposed in an amend ment by him, the college grant ought to be reduced. His motion to recommit was lost by a IA to vote.
 Continue Poll Tax Bill
 Although MT. Fosters amend ment to the school poll tax meas ure, for $5 increase was voted down nine to seven, the House re- jected a motion to indefinitely postpone the measure and contin- ued it in second reading to await the arrival of the taxation and revenue measure which probably will be introduced in a session to- night.
 Other Measures
 The House passed five other measures this morning One, by MT. Foster, authorizes the leasing of public docks, wharves, etc, for period of three years but sub jecting them to municipal control Another, by MT ziegler, appro- priates $500 for a survey of a road across Prince of Wales island The third authorized the allotment of $15,000 from the Third Division road fund for construction of road from Seward to Spruce Creek Another related to the method of payment of bounties on wolves, and the fifth is lump sum au- thorization for $25, 1000 to the Com mission of Education for school house construction.
 Just before noon, it completed reading Dimond's general election measure. At that time, MT. John- son, Ketchikan, had offered an amendment to the bill to strike out the rotative ballot provisions. It was seconded by ziegler Before a vote could be taken, MT. Boyle's motion to recess until pm. was carried.
 Three Senate bills-one relative to Alaska's participation in the Chicago Worlds Fair in 1883, one creating the office of Superin- tendent of Public Works, and an- other providing for absentee vot- ing, were on the House calendar for final disposition this after noon.

 Within a week after the New York State Legislature ordered an inquiry into the Walker adminis- tration, two of Tammany's most prominent office-holders resigned.
