House Members Irked at Committee Chairmen-
 Pointed Words

Vivid indication that the Twelfth Territorial Legislature is due for some spirited action during the coming week and that some of the members are irked by inactivity and impatient to get into the bat ties to ensue over liquor, fish traps and revenues were given today in the House when demand was made on committee chairmen for action.
 The free discussion was entered into when George A. Lingo, Chair man of Ways and Means, stated he had just received a copy of the fish trap bill William Sirovich of New York had introduced in Con- gress asking elimination of fish traps.
 Lingo Attacks Bill If I had known the content of this bill I certainly would not have voted for that resolution thanking Sirovich for his efforts Lingo said. This bill would put the fish traps out of business in eleven months and as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee 1 I say that if such action is taken | it will bankrupt the Territory. 1 have been in favor of gradual elim- nation of the traps over a period ! of years, but if they are tossed out as this bill proposes a big percent age of our revenue will be gone and the Territory will be bank rupt."
 Charles Murray and Joe Green immediately challenged the speak CT and declared it was the wish oi , the people of Alaska to have the
 traps eliminated. Andrew Nerlanc

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--In or der to safeguard invested billions of possible dangers of violent mar ket fluctuations, The Securities Exchange Commission is consid- ering invoking one of it's absolute ly autocratic powers when the Su- preme Court rules on the gold cases.
 The members of the Comnis- sion have studied the desirabiiity of an order closing all exchanges during the period. possibly next Monday, in which the Supreme Court may announce its decision.

Christmas for this purpose and
the hospital was built.
Four years later Miss Emily P.
Blisswell, of Wilmington, Del,
was interested in a small tuber-
culosis hospital which needed
funds. She raised $4,000 through
the stamp sale and in 1910 the
National tuberculosis association
began using the stamps.
The sale of the stamps has
made possible an organized cam

died of the disease. By 1883 this
figure had been cut to 6 people
