REORGANIZATION
 OF SCHOOLS IS ADVANCED ST EP
Senate Committee Favors Measure to the End m
 Report Made Today

The projected reorganization of the Territorial school department advanced a step today when the Senate Committee on Education reported the measure recommend ing it's passage with a few amend ments. It will come up in the Senate tomorrow for second read ing.
 The bill provides for Board of Education composed of one mem- Der from each of the four Judicial Divisions, appointive by the Gov ernor who is to be Chairman, and confirmed by the Legislature. It would have broad powers. including the appointment of the Commis- sioner of Education who is now an elective official.
 MEETINGS ROUTINE
 Todays meeting in both the Sen- ate and House were largely occu- pied with routine matters. In the Senate, the Lomen Marriage Commissioner Bill was recommend ed for passage, and the Bragaw Bill for the relief of Roland Osbourne, carrying an appropriation of $60, was also recommended.
 Three new measures were intro duced in the Senate. One by Senator Hess, by request, seeks to amend slightly the law relative to the administration of small es- tates. Another by the same author, also by request, proposed an amendment of Section 3, Chapter 20, Session Laws of 1919, relative to the abatement of rowdy houses. This would provide that actions brought under that statute be in the name of the United States in- stead of the Territory as at pres ent. A third measure amendatory of Sections 895 and 899, Compiled Laws of Alaska, would allow mat ters of abatement to be pleaded in defense.

HISTORIC FLAG IS PRESENTED
 TO TERRITORY
Hoisted at Sitka Over 65 Years Ago to Signalize
 Alaska S Transfer

The Flag that was hoisted to the top of the staff on Castle Hill at Sitka on October 18, 1867, sig nalizing the transfer of Alaska from Russian to American sover- eighty today reposes in the office of Gov. George A. Parks. Soon it will find permanent resting place in the Alaska Territorial Museum here, valuable addition to the historical archives of the Terri tory.
 The movement to obtain this particular Flag was launched here several months ago by the Afford John Bradford Post No Ameri- can Legion. It was heartily sup ported by Gov Parks and the local Chamber of Commerce.
 RECEIVED YESTERDAY
 Yesterdays mail brought it to Gov. Parks from the State Depart ment with an accompanying let ter. Other historical material asked for by the Legionnaires will be forthcoming in the shape of photostatic copies of official docu- ments, the cost of which probably will be defrayed by the Legion or ganization
 The Flag will be exhibited for a short time in the Hall of the House of Representatives and probably the Senate Chamber Af- ter that it will be turned over to the Museum for permanent keep ing. It is badly worn, but consid- ering it's age, is in a good state of preservation.
 TEXT OF LETTER
 The text of Secretary Stimsons letter of transmittal to the Gov ernor follows:
 The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of January 31, 1883, in which you request that the first American flag flown in Alaska af- ter the acquisition of that terri tory by the United States, together with photostatic copies of manu- script material in the archives in the Department of State which re- lates to the ceremony of raising the flag, be transferred to the Ter ritorial Museum at Juneau. It ap- pears that the Department oi Alaska of the American Legion the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce, and other organizations in the Territory would like to have the flag and copies of the relevant documents deposited in the Terri torial Museum
 The flag to which you refer was flown at Sitka, Alaska, on Oc- tober Is, 1867. on the occasion of the formal transfer of the sover- eighty of Alaska from Russia to the United States under the provi- sions of the Treaty of March 30
