Salmon fishing bill stalls in Alaska hearing
Representative Cushman's bill to regulate salmon catching in Alaska rivers was debated by the House Committee on Territories. Advocates urged favorable action but delays prevailed after telegrams from cannery interests asking time to appear in Washington. The measure would bar unlicensed harvesters, limit catches, protect salmon, and bar Japanese participation. Action postponed until March 7. A Senate panel favored a railroad aid bill with amendments removing U S bond backing. Also approved was a prohibition bill covering gaming in several territories. A cold remedy ad closes the column.

Delay on rate bill stalls court review amid illness and absences
The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee adjourned without voting on judicial review of ICC orders as Senator Tillman fell ill and Senator Cullom was away. Amendments were discussed including increasing the Interstate Commerce Commission to nine members and holding carriers liable for negligence. Spooner proposed a plan for court-held deposits to cover rate differences during review, with funds returned if the order is upheld.
