HIGH PRESSURE
 AREA IS MOVING; LESS COLD DUE
Weather Forecast for To- morrow Indicates Slight
 lyWarmer Temperature

Because of the shifting of high barometric pressure area, Juneau can expect slightly warmer wealth CT tomorrow. That was the ex- planation of United States Weather Observer Howard Thompson today.
 The high barometric assure e area, which has hovered over Southeast Alaska since Saturday afternoon and which has had it's apex over Western Canada, was noted to be moving slightly south- ward this morning. This movement, if sustained, will bring 8 warmer weather here.
 But, at that, Juneau citizens didn't shiver quite so much last night as they did the night before when the mercury hit 8.4 degrees above zero. The coldest last night was 109 degrees above zero. Coupled with that encouraging fact was the lessening of the Taku wind velocity, which, during the morning and early afternoon hours today, hard ly was felt. ,t4.-
 Moreover, Juneau doesn't shlver alone. Ketchikan had a tempera- turc reading of 16 degrees above zero this morning, while Dawson's A degrees below zero was indi- cative of the biting cold in the Interior Seattle was experiencing rain, with a slightly warmer tenn perature than of Sunday, when snow fell in the Puget Sound city

 S|TKA DIES
Mrs. Charles M. McGrath Passed Away in Portland
 After Long Illness

Mrs. Charles M. McGrath, prom inent property owner and long time resident of Sitka, passed away in Portland, Oregon, on Monday after an extended illness, according to word received by friends in Juneau. Her daughter, Mrs Jack Conway, also of. Sitka, is aboard the steam CT Northwestern on her way south to take care of funeral arrange ments and her mothers affairs.
 Other survivors of the prominent Alaskan woman are her sister, Miss Agnes Manning and brother, James Manning, both of Juneau. The lat ter was formerly Assistant Post master in this city.
 Mrs. McGrath was preceded in 1eath by her husband who passed away several years ago and was burned in Juneau. Both were well known throughout Southeast AL aska and had many friends in this city.
 Born in Massachusetts, Mrs. Mo- Grath came to Alaska more than thirty years ago and for more than twenty years had lived in Sitka where her husband established q large mercantile business. Follow ing his death Mrs. McGrath con- tinued in business until little over a. year ago when her son. in-law, Jack Conway and Prosper Ganty purchased the store. build ing and wharf and took over the active management.
 During the last year Mrs. Mo- irath has spent much of her time in the south because of ill health and her condition was considered serious for some time before her death.
 Before going into business in Sitka, Mir McGrath was mer- chandise broker and he and Mrs. McGrath lived in Juneau where he made his headquarters and main tained offices.
 Considered capable business woman and excellent citizen, Mrs. McGrath was well liked and re- spected by all who knew her and her death will be a loss to the community where she so long made her home.

HOUSE IRKED AT SENATE ACTION .ONITS MEASURES
Charge Adequate Consid- eration Has Not Been
 Given Bills

The House resolved itself into an indignation meeting this after noon, verbally lambasting at some length the action of the Senate on the last group of House bills transmitted to the Senate. Effort was made to appoint a grievance committee to wait upon the Sena- tors and protest that House bills were not being given adequate con- sideration but this failed, the ma jority holding it would accomplish no purpose and that after all the House members were elected to legislate in their own right and not to battle with the Senate.
 Say Senate "On Spot"
 A. H. ziegler and H. H. Mo- Cutcheon voiced the sentiment of several when they pointed out the Senate had been put on the spot meaning that House members had voted for certain bills in order to be on the prevailing side and then had urged the Senate to kill them.
 T think we are getting just what we got coming" said ziegler. Some members of this House vot- ed for bills, hoping the Senate would kill them and knowing they should have been killed right here before they ever went to the Sen- ate.'
 T think we've put the Senate on the spot on a lot of the legislation, ;" said McCutcheon.
 Too Much Speed

Speaker Holman said he had been in the Senate and heard President Hess admonish the Sena- tors on the short time they had given to consideration of the House measures.
 After deciding to take no action the House adjourned until II o'clock in the morning.

natures had been collected when
some tool of reaction secretly
confiscated every petition, most
of which were full.
TINS event is in line with the

quashing student tuition protest.
The U of w Daily is backing this
policy by refusing publicity, not
