DEATH’S ANGEL
VISITS VALDEZ
Only Son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mc
Gilvray Called Home—Com
munity Sorrows.
Jay McGilvray, the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. McGilvray, died at
6:30 last night at the home of tis
parents on Keystone avenue. The
news of the death of the little lad
was a shock to the community. With
his lovable disposition and constant
smile the little boy had worked his
way into the hearts of all who knew
him and his death stunned the citi
zens of the town. Death was caused
by stomach trouble.
The sympathy of the community is
with the parents in their hour of be
reavement at the loss of their son,
who had been ill for but a short time
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. McGilvray. Rev. Charles S.
Price conducted the service and Mrs.
Martin sang. The services were pri
vate, only the immediate family and
close personal friends being present.
After the services the body was tak
en to the Valdez cemetery, several
four-horse sleds loaded with mourn
ers going to the cemetery, where Rev.
Price conducted the service of the
Congregational church for the burial
of the dead.

I LOEBS WORRIED
Shipping Bill Made Unfinished Busi
ness of Senate—Endangers the
Whole Legislative Program.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—With the
session of congress drawing to a
close and none of the appropriation
bills passed the leaders of the Dem
ocratic side of the Senate and House
are greatly worried.
At the present time, not a single
appropriation bill has passed the Sen
ate. The shipping bill has been made
the unfinished business of that body,
giving way to appropriation bills
whenever the leaders desire; but the
fact that the bill occupies this posi
tion puts the whole legislative pro
gram in an exceedingly precarious
position. If this bill were not before
the Senate, it is likely that appro
priation bills could be passed with
the usual expedition. As long as the
bill holds this preferred position, it
makes certain an unusually long de
bate on each and every appropria
tion bill which comes before the up
per house. The Republicans are de
termined to defeat the Shipping bill,
and the appropriation bills will be
made the vehicles, if possible.
There will be fourteen appropria
tion bills passed by this session of
congress, not including a possible
Public Buildings bill. The House al
ready has passed four of them, the
District of Columbia, Post Office, Leg
islative, and Urgent Deficiency bills.
It must pass more than one bill a
week from this time on in order to
clean up the appropriation bills be
fore March 4. On the other hand, the
Senate must average two appropria
tion bills a week to get them through
conference before that date.
Senator Lodge’s Stand.
When such a conservative senator
as Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
serves notice that he proposes to grab
any vehicle for a filibuster against
the Shipping bill, and has practically
the unanimous supoprt of the entire
opposition of the Democrats in the
Senate, the possibilities of the situa
tion are at once apparent. It has
been said that four senators work
ing in relays could hold up the busi
i ness of the Senate almost indefinite
ly, even with night and day sessions.
With nearly forty senators on such
a job, such a task would be compara
tively easy.
Although the Shipping bi' was giv
en a preferred position in the Sen
ate by a substantial vote, there is no
secret of the fact that, while many
senators voted to bring up the legis
lation out of regard to the wishes
of the president, they would not vote
for it in its present state. If the leg
islation comes to a final vote in the
Senate at all in this session, it will
be radically amended in many partic
ulars.
