It was about 1 o'clock when the {measure was reached for discus- | sion. Several members had expressed a desire to be heard on it, and due to the lateness of the hour, it was ‘generally agreed that the discussion would be better and more general |if action were deferred. Meant No Offense H. L. Faulkner, who spoke in op- position to the bill last week, to- day retracted one statement made by him at that time. In his argu- iment at that time, he said Dele- gate Dimond probably would wel- come the Chamber’s disapproval of the measure which he had intro- duced to transfer fisheries adminis- tration and regulation from Con- jgress and the United States Bu- reau of Fisheries to Alaska. “I meant no offense by that as- sertion. Nothing was farther from my purpose. He is my friend and I am his. I now desire to retract ithe statement. If in making it I gave offense to any of his friends, I apologize,” Mr. Faulkner said. He added when he made the as- sertion he did not realize just how it might sound, and not until he {saw it in the press accounts of |his talk did that side of it impress litself upon him. It was spoken, he said, “more or less jokingly.” Host to Many Guests The Chamber today greeted many iguests, including: Capt.
