SENATE SENDS
 zIECLER BILL
 BACK TO HOUSE
Defect in Measure Causes Hess to Rule 1t Out from
 Floor of Senate

Ziegler's bill imposing a 1z-cent
 xcise on fibreboard containers
 onSumed in the Territory's can ling industry was rejected by the
 .enate last night when President.
 less ruled it was nothing but a
 crap of paper and ordered 1t returned to the House.
 His ruling was contested by Senator Shattuck but a motion to overturn his ruling was lost on a tie vote, Dimond, Shattuck and Sundquist voting to override it.
 Enactment Clause Missing
 The direct cause of the ruling of President Hess was a lost or missing enactment clause. When ohe bill was taken up for second reading, it was discovered that the enactment clause was not on it. Under the Organic Act, a bill which has passed both houses but lacks the enactment clause cannot become law. Proceeding on the theory that without the enactment clause the bill cannot become a law, MT. Hess ruled that one pass ing the House and reaching the Senate with the same defect is not even bill.
 MT. Shattuck and MT Sundquis. argued that it was not a fatal de- feet, but a mere technical fault that could be cured by a Senate amendment. MT. Hess decided against them.
 The Secretary was instructed to return it to the House for what ever action it might desire to take in the premises. It was believed he House would remedy the bill early today and rush it back to Tue Senate without delay -1slsS.
 Defeats Fisheries Resolution
 A resolution declaring that the fish trap is specital privilege which discriminates against certin persons in contravention of the White Fisheries Act, introduced by MT. Benjamin was killed by the Senate last night. The vote was one for-Benjamin-and six not for it.
 Fosters bill to empower munich palities to lease public wharves was beaten by unanimous vote. This subject, it was held, was al- ready covered in a bill introduced by MT. Brosius earlier in the ses- sion and which passed both branches and has been approved by the Governor.
 The bill providing for a $40,00O appropriation for the Eagle school house was tabled, and the Houses lump sum appropriation bill of $25,000 for construction of school buildings was amended to embrace the Eagle project.
 Passes College Bill
 After futile efforts had been made to strike out $25,O00 from the Alaska College appropriation measure, that bill was passed by the Senate unamended. MT. Shat tuck moved to cut off the gym nasium building, costing $25,O00, from the bill. It was lost three to four. The measure now goes to the Governor for signature. It carries an appropriation for s159.- 420
 Several other House measures were passed by the Senate last night. These included: appropria- ting $1, 500 for survey of road across Prince of Wales Island; to stock lakes and streams in the interior with game fish and ap- propriating $500; removing the $40 1000 limit from school refunds to incorporated towns; authoriz- ing expenditure of $10.000 on road from the Willow Creek min ing districts to the Alaska Rail- road; a memorial asking Congress to allot 50 per cent of the sealing industry proceeds to Alaska; one urging the establishment of Army and Navy air stations in the Ter ritory; and appropriating $25 900 for clearing salmon streams and destroying predatory enemies of salmon, which was $15.000 less than the House appropriated.
