Alderman, President of the University of Vir- ginia, died enroute to Urbana, Illi- nols, where he was to take part in the induction of Dr. Harry Chase to the Presidency of the University of Tllinois. Dr. Alderman was stricken with apcplexy at Connellsv Penn. and was taken from a train to a hospital where he died. The fun- eral will be held tomorrow and bur- al will ke in the University ceme- tery. Nationally Prominent The Alderman was a life-long friend of Woodrow Wilson and achieved national prominence when selected by Congress as the speaker for its joint session in honor of the war President on December 15, 1924 At that time he delivered what has been characterized as one of the most memorable eulogles ever made before Congress. He defended his friend against the critics of the day, particularly in regard to Presi- dent Wilson’s hand in the Ver- sailles treaty. “He had the heart to match the mortal hopes of mankind against their passions,” said Dr. Alderman “He sought to give the twentieth century a faith to inspire it and to justify the sacrifice of millions of lives, and if there was failure it was humanity’s failure. To make him, the one undaunted advocate of those hopes, the scapegoat of 2 world collapse, is to visit upon him injustice so cruel that it must per- ish of its own unreason.” New Education In ‘educational circles Dr. Alder- man was known as the evangel of a new educational era in the South A staunch advocate of universal education, he began his work in North Carolina, where he was born May 15, 1861, the son of James and Susan J. Alderman. From 1889-92, with the late Charles Duncan Mc- Iver, he went up and down the state preaching the gospel of uni- versal education and endeavoring to convince the people that it was right to be taxed to support schools for another's education. Much of his labor later became incorpor- ated in the program of the General Educational Board of which he was a member. That the university owed a serv- ice to the state in every line of en- deavor was a belief held by Dr. Alderman. He expressed that view in an address upon assuming the presidency of the University of Vir- ginia when he said: “If there be a question touching life on the farm or in the factory, in institutional development, in the public schools, in manufacturing or municipal problems, some intelligent answer should issue from the university.” SPEAKER PRESENTED HANDSOME WATCH BY HOUSE COLLEAGUES Speaker Grover C. Winn, whose handling of the House during the past 60 days contributed largely to its smoothness of operation, was presented with a beautiful white gold watch last night by the mem- bers of that organization.

The Legislature pased 122 bills, all of which were approved by the Governor, almost 50 resolutions, memcrials and other measures. No Sericus Differences No serious differences existed be- tween the two Houses to mark the closing hours. While adjournment was delayed several hours beyond the nominal hour, the delay was largely incidental to work neces- sary than to any disagreements over legislation. The failure of the Senate to pass the taxation bill which provided for raises in the fisheries and min- ing schedules and miinor levies did not vex the House which was ap- parently vastly relieved over the outcome. The Senate reduced ap- propriations slightly but none qf the major items were affected the cuts. No measure of prime importas was lost in the closing hours, cept the Ziegler 12-cent excise on fibreboard containers used the salmon canning industry. Situated Relieved The Senate's failure to act that bill resulted from a reversal in = | conditions which had led o 1t in- troduction by Representative Zieg- ler. Alaska sawmills, unable to sell the product of their box factories at any price, had turned to the Legislature for assistance in meet- ing fibreboard competition. Mr. Ziegler's bill was the final result of the lawmakers' effort to remedy the situation. It called for a tax of 12 cents on each fibre- board container used in packing local food products. The House passed it 12 to 4, doing it twice owing to some defect in the first passage. Yesterday, by an agreement reached between junior Senators Shattuck, First, Lomen, Second and Bragaw, Third Division and can- nery representatives the bill was tabled and died there. The canners agreed for their own principals and recommended to others that all wooden boxes used by the packing industry would be purchased in the Territory. And hours before the Legislature adjourned, many tele- grams had been received pledging future orders covering hundreds of thousands of box shooks. Future Is Problematical The future course of the Legisla- ture in this field of protection for home industry is problematical. One of the junior Senators, who was active in bringing about the agree- ment yesterday, said if the packing industry failed to live fully up to its part of the industry, there was another session of the Legislature due in 1933 which undoubtedly would undertake other methods of settlement. Up to early yesterday some 20 firms, corporations and individuals, had been heard from, most of them pledging definite orders for this or next season, indicating at least 1,000,000 cases to be ordered each seacon. While this amount is less than the capacity output of the Alaska box mills, it was said to be satisfactory to them. Adjust Jury Measure p The two branches after several days of disagreement reached l' bi for settlement of differences over the Winn jury bill shortly be- fore, adjournment. This provided for 80 per cent of the of clectors to be placed in the | box before the drawing of regular | panels; confining names for Jurors to the subdivisions of the ecourt; and making illiteracy ground for challenges for cause. i The House also agreed to the Senate’s amendments to the school refund measure, which left the centage of refunds to the unchanged but took off the $40,00 annual maximum lmitation, Dif- ferences existing in other measures | of less public interest were led satisfactorily and not fi.gu of ail- ¢ \ measure was lost because ure to agree, Anvropriations A ne! reduction of $19.808 w (Continued on h,
