REPEAL OF DIR '. LAW IS PASSED.
 WITHOUT DEBATE.
House Passes Repeater and Fight Against It Gen.
 ters on Senate

Without a word of debate or comment, the House of Represen- tatives yesterday afternoon passed the Allyn-Hellerich bill repeating the Alaska Bone Dry Law by a vote of ten to five, and the sup porting memorial explaining the reasons for its summary action II to 4.
 Representatives Donnelly, John- ston of Fairbanks. McCutcheon, Nerland and Nylen voted against the repealer. On the memorial, MT. McCutcheon switched to the affirmative.
 Goes To Senate
 The measure and memorial now go to the Senate for action. No indications have been given as to it's course It is not expected 1t will come to head for several days.
 Not great deal of effort was made to block the measure in the House, but opponents who are seeking to make a straight out Wet and Dry issue, and appealing to law enforcement sentiment, ou. of the measure, are concentrating their forces on the Senate. Proponents of the bill sought to avert a Wet and Dry fight by de claring in the supporting menor ial that repeal was not to be con- strued as either for or against Prohibition; that the measure was dictated by interest in humanity that existing conditions and pro visions of the Bone Dry Law rem dered it impossible to obtain legal ly liquor for medicinal purposes and that even druggists could pot legally obtain grain alcohol essea- tial for the manufacture of import ant m dicines, but that Fed eral judges are forced to connive at an infraction of the law in or der to permit the importation of alcohol into the Territory. Pass Other Bills
 The House passed three other House bills and two Senate meas ures yesterday afternoon. Among these were: for the return of taxes illegally collected and paid under protest; appropriating s330 for the relief of Juneau for transportation of school students; appropriating $500 to reimburse Lawrence Kerr for services performed for the 1928 Legislature; deficiency appro- priation carrying about $12,0o0; and a Senate resolution authorizing the Judiciary Committees of both branches to expend not to exceed $500 for extra clerical assistance.

SENATE BEATS PRIMARY BILLS
 BY , TO Z VOTE
Sundquist Measures for Changes in Primary El-
 ton System Beaten

Two measures to revise the di- rect primary nomination laws were defeated in the Senate Friday aft ernoon and third measure re- lating to the same subject was withdrawn by it's author. The op- ponents of the bills did not debate them but voted them down with out discussion.
 Senator Sundquist, who was the sponsor of all three measures, con- fined his remarks to a mere ey- plantation of their nature and the purpose for which they were in- troduced.
 Two Different Systems
 The measures provided for two different systems of primaries. One, Senate Bill No. 43. would have put into effect a joint canvass of the votes but would have left the party primaries untouched. Each party would have voted for it's candidates but the candidates hav- ing the highest votes, irrespective of party, would have been privi- legged to enter the general election, Thus if two candidates for D,la- gate on the Republican ticke5 re- ceived more votes than the Demo- cratic candidate, or candidates, their names would have been the only ones to appear on the official ballot in the general election. This was lost two to five, Senators Ben jamin and Sundquist voting for passage.
 The second measure, modelled after the California system provid- ed for one general primary in which the names of all candidates regardless of party would have ap- reared on a giaPle hsllot, Then the general election would have been a runoff between the high primary candidates. This was de- feated by the same vote.
 The third bill was contingent upon the passage of the second. It provided the method of election of national committeeman and dele gates to national conventions When the general primary bill was lost, MT Sundquist withdrew this meas ure.
 Two Others Killed
 i,a lyi11i,an mood yesterday. It used the axe on Shattuck's measure to em- power the Territorial Road Com mission to expend road funds on airplane landing fields, dykes, flood control. maintenance and repair of telephone lines. This bill was lost by a vote of four to three, Bragaw, Benjamin and Sundquist opposing.
 A measure, by MT. Dimond, to appropriate sl2.0OO for building new schoolhouse at Afognak, was beaten two to five, only Dimond and Bragaw supporting it.
 Two House memorials were passed-one asking the Bureau of Fisheries to make a survey of the food fish resources of Boring Sea and Arctic waters. the other for fish survey of all Alaskan waters.
 A joint resolution expressing of- ficially Alaska's appreciation to the Lieut.. Governor and Premier of British Columbia for their in- terest and activities in promoting the Pacific Yukon Highway was passed yesterday by the Senate.
 The upper branch of the Legis- lature was not in session this morning. It resumed its work at 2 pm today with a lengthy call endar for consideration.
