BEER MEASURE
 FATE IN HANDS
 OF THE SENATE
House Accepts Comprom- ise Report Senate Will
 Act on It This P. M.
The Senate this afternoon ratified the conference report on the Beer Bill and it is now ready for transmission to the Governor.

The outcome of the controversy over the beer bill rested in the hands of the Territorial Senate this afternoon. The House this morning adopted the report and recommendations of the Committee on Conference which battled mer- rily until late yesterday afternoon with the Senate's managers be- fore reaching an agreement.
 The Senate did not meet until 2 o'clock this afternoon. It was believed by many members of the Legislature 1t would also approve the conference settlement.
 Victory for House
 The conference largely sustained the position of the House. Most of the amendments written into the Senate substitute for the Hel- lerich measure were approved by them. The biggest change, striking out the clause limiting the pro- posed beer parlors to the sale of beer only which would have pre- vented soft drink parlors, cigar stores, etc, from selling beer, was allowed to stand. A compromise was reached over the beer parlor license. The Senate proposed s250. The House reduced this to $100. The conference compromised by fixing it at $175.
 The 15-room requirement for lodging houses and the 15-accom- modations basis for restaurants and cafeterias inserted by the House were maintained The House cut on club licenses from $50 to S25 was stricken and the Senate rate restored. The House provision for a wholesale license division also prevailed.
 The House amendment prohibit ing breweries from selling to any one except persons or businesses holding licenses was abandoned,
 The House receded its amend ment on licenses for bottling works The original figure, $100, cut by the House to $50. was restored The other amendments of the House, all minor and affecting phraseology were approved.
 Passes House Bills
 The Senate yesterday afternoon passed six House bills. indefinitely postponed two others and contin- ued one House bill and sever Senate bills in second reading Two bills killed were: House Bill 21. Taylor, amending the Board of Law Examiners Act; and Lingos bill repeating the Sunday closing statute.

TROY COMMENTS ON DIMOND CAME co N TR0L BILLS
Agrees that They Are First Step Toward Home
 Rule for Territory

Delegate Anthony J. Dimond's $ statement carried by the Associated Press April 26, and appearing in The Empire, clearly expresses the meaning and importance of his two bills, transferring the authority over Alaska's fish and game to Territorial control,' Gov John w. Troy said today when asked for his opinion regarding Delegate Di- mond's bills providing for new fish and game regulations.
 Gov: Troy referred to MT. Di- mond's comment that These are the most vital changes suggested since the Territory's Organic Act was approved in 1912" and that the itroduction of the fish and game bills is his first step toward fulfilling the Democratic party'S pledges to the Territory.
 T agree with all MT. Dimond said" continued Gov. Troy.
 "As MT. Dimond said, these are the first steps toward fulfilling the Democratic party's pledge to try to obtain home rule for the Terri tory
 Objections to pr ent condi- tions," Gov. Troy explained, are that laws affecting the fish and game of Alaska are administered by people who are not directly con- cerned in their administration. When the people in Alaska control their own resources they will con~ slider the best interest of the peo- pie and territory at all times. Con- trol from Washington is more or less a beneficent theory. I will concede that the Bureau of Fish cries and the Biological Survey are endeavoring and in a measure are doing good work but it cannot be as it would be if people were hand ling their own affairs.
 ''1'fe passage of MT Dimond' s two bills would go far toward establishing home rule in Alaska.
 The next important step is to work out a system of local gov- ernment that would give the vari- ous communities and sections of Alaska greater authority in the management of their local affairs and in the solution of local prob lems," Gov. Troy said.
 "The people of Alaska are to be congratulated upon having a man of MT. Dimonds ability, courage, industry and personality in Wash ington as representative of the Territory. In two months he has achieved a standing and regard in Washington that seasoned Con- gressman of ten years service might well envy"

CROWD IS ON HAND 9.
FOR CANTOR BROADCAST
All Radio Tricks Demonstrated to
Invited Guests at Press
Club Auditorium,

A crowd of invited guests packed the
National Press Club auditorium last
night to watch Eddie Cantor and his
assistants put on the comedians popu-
lar weekly radio hour which WRC fed
to a Nationwide network of other
N. B. c. stations.
All the tricks of broadcasting were
demonstrated to this audience, which
Cantor said afterWard was more appre-
ciative and more responsive than the
blase crowds which fill the Times
Square radio studios when the show
Is staged in New York.
Cantor, in fact, packed two shows
into the radio hour-one for the radio
listeners and the others for his guests
in the improved studio. In the periods
that the radio program shifted to New
York for the music of Rubinoff and his
orchestra. the pop-eyed comedian kept
his invited audience amused with wise
cracks and queer antics. Cantor drew
the biggest laugh, however. when he
walked on the stage in an old fashioned
flannel nightgown to play the role of
an infant in his broadcast.
