Mr.. MARTINDALE
REACHES SEATTLE

Thomas Martindale. SO years old,
one OF the noted big game hunters OF
the country, and y Philadelphia bush

snroute to Alaska where be goes IN
search OF brown aud black bears.
Although the Alaska law limits each

hunter, Martindaie carries q special
permit from Secretary Houston, Of the
department OF agriculture, authorizing
him to kill two in excess of this num-
Der and bring them back TO the United
States. These will be for the Academy
Of Natural Sciences. Philadelphia.
Martindale Is q well-known big
game sportsman who has hunted in
England, Africa and throughout the
United States. He also has made some
big kills in the Yukon country and
this year will hunt In the Aleutian
range on the west side Of Cook Inlet.
He will he accompanied on his trip
by J.. q. Tolman, formerly government
head Of the Alaskan guides, and Toll
mans son. After . months hunting
the party will cross the inlet and take
a trip through the Gugeenheim copper
districts, returning In July.
II prefer brown or black bear to
grizzlies" said Martindale quizzically
yesterday to The Times. "Grizzlies
