NORRIS BILL

TWO DIVISIONS
Chairman of Senate Judi-

Attach Second-F ourth

WASHINGTON, Dec. IT. - The
bill of Senator George w. Norris
of Nebraska, Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, is now before
that committee. 1t reads:
"On and after July /, 1882, there
shall be only one District Judge,
one Clerk of the District Court,
one United States Attorney and
one United States Marshal in and
for the Second and Fourth Judicial
Divisions. The terms of office of
the above officials now serving
in those Divisions shall continue
until midnight, June 80, 1882, or
until their successors are ap-
pointed and qualified"
Senator Norris said that in effect
his bill would consolidate the
judicial forces in the Second and
Fourth Divisions. He considered
separate Judges and staffs unnec-
essary in view of the work to be
done.

Juneau will be appropriately rec
grated for Christmas week. Most
of the business houses have
adorned their exteriors with either
evergreen trees or evergreen boughs
and have impaired an air of cheer
fulness to interiors with various
sorts of festoons. In nearly all
store windows, seasonal goods are
o ndisplay, and the attractiveness
of many is enhanced with Yuletide
wreaths and candles.
Much of the work in connection
with the decorating was done by
men out of employment.
Remunerative Occupation
The gathering of trees and boughs
and the distributing and arrang-
ing of them gave remunerative &C.
cupation to many persons VITO
otherwise would have remained
idle.
Nearly all of the stores and
buildings not yet in holiday attire
will have donned it before the end
of the week.
Decorated Business Places
Among the places that are gay
with Christmas decorations and
displays are:

WASHINTON, Dec. II. = The

Delegate Wickersham, am nding
the Organic Act Of the Territory

authority to organize county form

tending home rule, would over tax
the Territorial Treasury which is
now facing possible deficit for the
biennium unless measures make
provision.
At the present time the Federal
courts, Marshals and ATTORNEYS
provide substitutes for State Courts,
County Sheriffs and the like.
THE worried people of Ketchi-
kan are basing most of their fears.
apparently, on the erroneous news
dispatch to Alaska papers yesterday
that the Norris Bill created only
one Judicial Division of Alaska.
That is corrected today. The bill
simply consolidates the Second and
Fourth Divisions as far as the
Judicial machinery is concerned.]

ers more numerous than any dag
since the seasonal trade began.
Apparently Santa Clauss visitation
to Juneau households will be mark
ed with greater liberality this year
than ever before in the city's his
tory, it was said.
Lower prices for all classes of
articles, from food and clothing,
household furnishings and furni-
ture, to every gift item on the
market list have not gone unnoted
by the local public" said a lead
ing merchant today. Purchases
show wider range in variety than
usual, and although individual costs
to the customer are materially less
than ever before, the total OF all
purchases exceeds the average"
Selected With Care
The merchants, by the way, have
made this range variation possible.
Their stocks were selected with
that very thing in mind, and all
lines of merchandise are featuring
SO many seasonable commodities
that even the most fastidious and
meticulous minded customer has
plenty of variety from which to
make9a selection.
From rattles for infants to fur
niture for the entire house, includ-
ing equipment for the most mod
ern electric kitchen, doll dresses
to milady's party gown, with all of
the accessories of the toilet table
and jewel box, "kiddie kar" to au-
tomobile, baby rompers to dress
suits, every edible article the mar
ket affords, staples and tidbits,
local firms are well stocked.
Buying For Homes
Up to the current week, mer-
chants agreed, most of the buying
done was for mailing. With that
out of the way, the public is turn
ing to its home lists. Icy streets
that prevailed during the first
of the week and the snow and
wind that followed failed to check
the customer parade that flowed
through the downtown section and
poured into the stores, filling them
with patrons intent on their
Christmas shopping.
It is a real Christmas crowd,
too. Good natured, each member
waiting his or her turn to be served
by the clerks who are kept busy
most of the day. If there ever was
any doubt about Christmas as
usual in Juneau, it has been wiped
out by the trend of shopping done
this week.

Debt HOLIDAY
PROPOSALSUP
TO PRESIDENT
Sentiment of Congress Elk
pressed on Issue Con-
fronting Nation

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IT,
Any negotiations that the United
States has with European nations
over war debts and debt holidays
will be undertaken by President
Hoover on his own initiative. This
much seems definite on the basis
OF views expressed on Capitol Hill.
Sentiment in Congress has APP
parently crystalized on this mat
ter. And the general conviction is
that the responsibility is President
Hoover's, and after he has COM
pleted any negotiations he might
undertake Congress will express
itself.
Needs No Suggestions
Europe, Congress feels, needs no
suggestions from the United States
on either war debt payments
moratoria. And the nations law
makers have decided if Europe is
going to repudiate its debts to the
United States by defaulting on its
payments, it must do so on its
own responsibility. 1t is up to the
European nations to open negotia-
tions on these subjects rather than
the part of the United States to
break the ground.
If Europe does so, say Congress
sional leaders, then the PRESIDENTS
duty, if he desires to meet foreign
debtors of the country around the
council table, is to enter into ne
gotiations on his own responsible
ity.
While the Senate was fastening
preparations to conduct its inquiry
into American investment in for
eign bonds, under the johnson res
olution passed by the Senate since
it convened, the House Republi-
cans continued to debate the Pres
ident's debt holiday policies. Demo-
Gratis generally stood aside and let
the opposition debate the subject
Congressman Louis T. McFadden
Republican of Pennsylvania, who
was Chairman of the House bank
ing committee during the past
session, referring to his charge
made Wednesday, that the Presi-
dent fixed the moratorium on war
debts at the request Of interna-
tional bankers, and in so doing vio-
lated his oath of office, not only
repeated the charge but declared
he would back up every accusation
with facts. He demanded a full
investigation of the matter by the
House.
The Senate got quick action on
the johnson resolution and wasted
no time in beginning the inquiry
it authorized. Subpoenas were is
sued for several of the heads of
leading Wall Street financial
houses, including President Nit
chell of the First National Bank
of New York, representatives of j.
p. Morgan g. Company and the
Chase National Bank.
Are Playing Politics
The situation on Capitol Hill was
not eased any by London press re-
ports. Lord Beaverbrook, in his
Evening Standard, added fuel to
the flames when he asserted that
President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon are playing international
politics with war debt moratoria
and reparations.
They both know that war debts
and Preparations are finished, that
both have been wiped off the
boards, but they are waiting until
after the next American national
election to say so, he declared.
