ROTARY BALLOT AMENDMENT NOT ADOPTED, HOUSE. Ten to Six Vote Kills Im- portant Amendment to Election Measure m}{oufl‘ of Representatives (hisl morning by a vote of 10 to 6 de-| feated the rotative ballot amend- ment offered by the Committee on Election Laws to the Winn meas- ure codifying Territorial statutes on elections. Without a record vote it adopted another amend- ment providing for absentee voting but limiting it to the Division in which the voters reside. The provision relative to offi- cers of the Territorial and Federal government becoming candidates for other positions and requiring them first to resign was under de- bate when the noon recess was taken. Cost Too Excessive The main reason advanced by op- ponents of the ratative ballot sys- tem was that it would cost tooy much to print the ballots. Mr. Winn said he had been informed official ballots under such a system would cost four times as much as printing them alphabetically. Two reasons were urged by its supporters for the amendments adoption. First, under such a sys- tem every candidate would have the same position and the advantages that would afford. Second, it was a step toward purifying elec- tions in that it would serve to pre- vent voting by stencil or other de- vise thus eliminatir.g block or mass) voting. Mr. Winn, wno opposed it, de- clared the Indian vote in the First Division was too well organized for a rotative ballot to affect it. The amendment, he added, wouldn't change that situation. The amendment, declared Mr. Ziegler, would affect whites and In- dians alike. He said he was not opposed to Indians voting so long as they could qualify. The entire delegations from the Second and Fourth Divisions, and Messrs. Winn and McCormick 0f the First, voted against adoption. The Third Di- vision delegates and Messrs. Shat- candidate for delegate to Congress next year. He said under the amendment he could not do so without first resigning from his present position, and in case he did not the amendment would auto- | matically declare the place vacant.| He declared this to be unfair. Mr. Foster and Mr. Murray sup- | ported the amendment. The former|- asserted it wasn't proper for an; one to have “his cake and eat too.” The amendment was signated to prevent that condition he added. .The House was still debating the question when it re-| cessed at 12 o'clock. Two New Bills Two new bills were introduced in the House this morning. Mr. Winn seeks to provide a ne method of securing jurors. In brief, it provides that the names of all voters be put into the box from which panels are drawn. At present | it is required that 1,000 names be contained in the box Another | provision is that only names of persons residing in ‘the respective subdivisions within the jurisdiction of the court shall be deposited in | the box for the subdivision wHerein | court is held. For instance, the First Division has two court dis-| tricts, one with headquarters here | and the other at Ketchikan. Only | the names of persons residing with- in the limits of each could be de- posited in the respective boxes. Messrs. Brugh and Nylen intro- duced a measure providing for an airplane mail subsidy between the Pe- Alaska Railroad and Seward ninsula during the periods of br up and freezeup.

Wilkins spent last night here awsaiting favorable weather to continue his trip to San Francisco. He told of plans of his proposed submarine venture at the North| Pole and emphatically declared the submarine was the most effective vehicle with which to conduct Arc- tice Polar exploration where no land has been found. Capt. Wilkins said planes cannot land on the ice, ships cannot break through the can go bencath | He said the submarine can sub- | merge 350 feet, far below the depth of the Arctic ice and cruise 100 miles before coming up in open| water. No Trouble Capt. Wilkins dismis: d the prob- lem of finding open water and with | a smile explained that the inten- sity of light on the water beneath would tell whether there is ice or open water above. Extensive apparatus for taking | soundings of the ocean bottom and | Speculation is rife re- |instruments for study of magnetic | currents for determining the drift of the Arctic water and a study — |of the ice will be among the equip- ment.
