Senate sessions brief amid treaty show debate on Alaska liquor law
The first postholiday Senate session lasted fourteen minutes with two open sessions and one executive. The peace commission's denatorial members were greeted on the floor as Major Pruden presented the Paris treaty. In the House, Alaska law debates focused on a proposed code and liquor sale restrictions to Indians, drawing strong opposition from Mr Moody who warned of a free liquor market in Alaska. Several minor bills passed and the Alaska codification continued into the next day. The Hoar resolution seeking treaty-related information was laid before the Senate in secret session, while West opposed expansion and Caffery spoke on anti-imperialism as civil service reform faced a split vote.
