are lobbyists who ought to ? bo ar
reted for vagrancy.

Democratic caucus adopt a resolutlo
limiting the work to be done by the
present congress to the currency and
tariff questions. It was forestalled
1 >y tho quick action of the friends of

Tho railroad advocates hope to
havo the Alaska bill passoj by the
senate within a short tlmo and want
i>d nothing donu on the house sldo
:o prevent Its consideration by that
imdy while the sonate Is occupied
with the tariff. Towards this end

by Senators Jours and Chamberlain
i few days ago.
J. E. Uallalno, of Soattle, left a
letter with President Wilson last
Saturday, calling the new situation
to his uttontlon. Tho letter roads
is follows:
"To the President: Congressman
Palmer bis called a caucus of house
Democrats for noxt Monday to a
Jopt r> solutions restricting leglsla<
tlon this session to currency and a
fv w appropriation bills. This would
ihut out the bill for building gov
gurment railroads In Alaska, which
appears for consideration in the
totiate before tho tariff bill is roach
>d.
All OI loo ii ivuua ui
railroad bill hope that you may help
iib by Interceding with Mr. Palmer
to leave "the way open In the house
to consider this legislation so that It
would not Interfere In tho slightest
with othor matter*. Tho houso is
doing nothing and owes it to tho
country to attend to Just such legis
lation as this Alaska bill, particular
ly In vlow of tho many emergencies
that call for Its prompt cOii&iaera
tlou.
"May wc ask for your help at this
critical juncture?"
At tluj conf> renco betweon news
pipermcn i.nd President Wilson, Mr.
Wilson was asked whether he had
found tlnw to act on the suggestion
made by Senators Jones and Cham
berlain carllor In the week. Tho
president replied that he had told
Representative Underwood, the Dem
ocratic house leader, that be was
very much Interested in the project,
but he had not had an opportunity
to consider it further. It Is behav
ed that the president's brlof state
ment to Mr. Uudorwood will bo of
great assistance In forestalling the
tlreatencd restriction on legislation.
