COUNCIL MEETS
WITH CROOMS ON
BUS PROPOSITION
OF DIscoNTINUANcE
OF SERVICE TO BE TAKEN
UNDER FURTHER ADVISE
MENT

The city council, in special ses-
sion last night, conferred with B.
L. Grooms, manager of the Key
West Electric Company, pertain
ing to the matter of the company's
request for the city's permission to
discontinue the bus line service in
Key West. No action was taken
however, and after a lengthy dis
cussion, the council informed Mr..
Grooms that the city would take
the matter under advisement after
which another meeting will be
called at which time it is expected
that the issue will be definitely
settled.
One of the contentious in the
proposals submitted was that the
company would not agree to can
eel the entire street lighting in
debtedness as requested by the
city, but would, however, agree to
this, providing that the company
be allowed to deduct the amount
of its current taxes out of the total
Indebtedness in question.
Another counter proposal from
the Electric Company was that it
would agree to reduce the street
lighting from $23 to $40 a light
per year, with the understanding
that the city enter into five
year contract. The city had asked
that the rate be cut to SIS per
light.
A third request made by the
city previously was for a 10 per-
cent reduction in the general
lighting system, this to be paid to
the city as virtual sales tax, with
the same five percent deduction
for prompt payment of bills to re-
main in effect.
These are the provisions under
which the city would agree TO
abandonment of the bus service,
all of which were gone over
thoroughly at the meeting last
night.

WHEAT IN JAIL;
 GIVES SELF UP
Youth Accused of Many Crimes Now Serving Out
 OldSuspended Sentence

Orville Wheat, who escaped while the Yukon was in port Monday from officers who were bringing him to Juneau from the Westward to answer an alleged charge of lar- ceny in a dwelling, gave himself up to Chief of Police George A. Get chell, who turned him over to' the Federal authorities.
 Today Commissioner Charles Sey ordered that a su spe n d ed nine months sentence a g aims t Wheat, dated October 10, 1892, and charg- ing him with being drunk and dis turbing the peace, be put into effect and the prisoner is now in the Federal Jail starting to serve out his sentence.
 Two Charges Remain
 He still has the alleged larceny charge and escape charge to face.
 Wheat, who has caused the au- thorities so much concern during the last two days, is only 23 years old Yet the file of charges against him in the Marshals office con- tains numerous charges of petty and serious violations of the law. He was sentenced to seven months in jail on August IS, 19S0, for con- tributing to the delinquency of a minor; given 90 days for vagrancy in March, 1892, and the nine months suspended sentence which he is now beginning to serve, last October.
 When the youth appeared at the home of Chief Getchell this morn ing he was accompanied by his wife. He claims that he escaped while here so that he could see her and would have given himself up sooner, but he was unable to locate her until last night.
 He claims that he escaped from the Yukon through port hole and down the stern hauser, hand over hand. Sometime during the two days of his liberty, he said that he stained his face so that he could pass as an Indian, and thus manage to elude the authorities un- til he found his wife.

 Five Bills Introduced
 Five new measures were intro duced in the Senate today, bring ing the total to date up to 69. Two were by the Committee on Judiciary-one to amend Chapter 86 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Territory by adding a new section to be numbered 1,703-a, fixing the time within which an executor or administrator must file his final account, and the other to prescribe the qualifications of el- ectors at all general, special, pri- mary and school elections in the Territory. It provides that the qualifications shall be as prescribed in the Act of Congress, approved March 3, 1927, Chapter 363, Para graph 8, A Stat. 1894 of the Unit ed States Code.
 Two others were introduced by Senator Hess, one to amend sec tion 23, Chapter 8, Session Laws of 1881, cutting the time for the filing of reports by domestic cor porations from 60 to 30 days after January 1 of each year. The other is a 47-page bill providing for Me chanics' Liens. It is one of the uniform codes that has been adopt ed by many of the States.
 Seeks Road Tax
 A five-dollar road tax modelled after the present school tax law that has been in force in the Ter ritory for many years is proposed in Senate Bill No 66 introduced by Senator Campbell.
 It would be levied against every male persons between q and 50 years old, and every female person between the same age who is gain- fully employed or who has an in- dependent income. The proceeds would be paid into special road fund in the Territorial treasury to be expended under the direction of the Highway Engineer solely for the construction, repair and main tenance of roads, trails, airplane landing fields and other means of ntercommunication, including tele- phone and telegraph lines and radio telephone stations throughout the Territory.

SENATE PASSES B BILLS; FIVE
 ARE PRESENTED
Green Free Silver Memor- ial Is Defeated on Non-
 Party Vote-4 to 4

The Senate late yesterday and today passed three bills and intro duced five new measures, including a bill for a revised Mechanics lien act which is one of the uniform statutes that has been adopted by many States. It defeated the Green free silver memorial by a tie vote.
 The vote on the measure did not divide on party or divisional lines. One member from each Division voted for it and one against it. Those favoring it's passage were: Campbell, DeVane, Frawley and Walker, those opposing, Bragaw, Lomen, Hess and Shattuck.
 House Stand Endorsed
 The stand taken by the House against contractural care of the overflow from the Pioneers Home and its amendment to the DeVane measure which would make it pos sible to care for that overflow by leasing some building at Sitka, near the Home, was accepted by the Senate today when it ocncurred in the Houses amendments to the measure. As originally introduced the measure authorized the Board of Trustees to contract for the care of the overflow from the Home. The House amended this to make it discretionary with the Board as to the method of care. It also re- moved the limitation clause of 30 persons and left the number up to the Board.
 The measure will now be sent to the Governor for his signature. This is expected to be forthcoming without delay although the perfect ed bill does not exactly coincide with his ideas.
 Bills As Passed Yesterday afternoon, the Senate passed Senate Bill No. 56, authoriz- ing the continuation of appropria- tions for compiling and codifying the laws of Alaska until the work shall have been completed. Today it repealed three old statutes and passed Bill No 59, to amend sec ton 1929 Compiled Laws of Alaska by adding insanity as grounds fol divorce.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-One of the sharpest farm relief contro- versies of the present session is brewing as the Senate reached the Simpson price fixing plan which has been written into the Admin istration's bill.
 This threatened storm develop ed at the time when the program for increasing the farmers income and lifting the burden of mort gages was pumping along the rough road which was sprinkled with de- mands for currency expansion as a means of restoring agriculture.

 The mortgage section of the bill neared a final vote in the House today where debate has been linn ited on amendments except those offered by the Agriculture Com mittee.
 Final approval this week of the general agricultural program has been dimmed by the roaring Sem ate debate which included heated exchanges on President Roosevelt's $ efforts so far as to achieve econom- ic recovery.
