PLACE BOUNTY
 ON BROWN BEAR

According to c. T. Barrett, pio- neer of Katalla, bounty should be placed on the brown bears of Alaska because of the cattle and game de. stroyed by them every year. "The Alaska brown bear Is the most dan gerous and destructive animal in the north" said Col. Barrett There should be a price on his head instead of a bag limit of two bears a year, as l understand the law now is. A great deal of game and cattle are de stroyed every year by brown bears and the animals should be driven out of Alaska.

SUIT ID RECOVER TOWNSHIP AT
 SEWARD

The Valdez Prospector publishes the following details of the complaint wired from San Francisco to the dis trict court, in which the charge is made that Ballaine diverted Alaska Central money for the purchase of a townsite at Seward, but retained the land after patent was granted.
 Reyial of an old charge that John K. Ballaine used Alaska Central mon- ey to buy the Seward townsite from the government appears in an action filed in the district court yesterday by the Alaska Northern, successor of the Alaska Central, to impress a trust in its favor upon the entire townsite. John E. Ballaine, Frank l.. Ballaine and thirty Does" are made defend ants, along with the Alaska Central Railway company and the Panama Construction company.
 The charge that John D. Ballaine touched the Alaska Central for 1000 bones and blew the bunch into the soldiers additional homestead entry of the land that besame the Seward townsite is an old one in Seward. Several old Sewardites now living in Valdez remember the fact well. The Ballaines never seemed ruffled by the charge because they said it was ab- solutely without foundation, and that whenever it might become necessary they could easily prove that the mon- ey was their own.
 o. c. Laberee circulated the charge In Seward in 1906, the first time he was there. The story was not new then. He stated then that the Alas ka Central would soon bring suit to have the Ballaine holdings declared a trust for the railroad company. Noth- ing happened. Mir. Laberee became receiver of the Alaska Centra' in Oc- tober, 1908, and continued in that po- sitlon until the sale of the railroad under mortgage foreclosure in Octo- Der, 1909. He then became president of the Alaska Northern, organized im- mediately after the sale, but nothing has ever been done in the way of assailing the Ballaine title until yes terday.
 The action was filed by Donohoe & Dimond for the Alaska Northern Railway company. The entire com. plaint was wired to the local attorneys from San Francisco at cost of s44s, by T. c. West, well known here as one of the attorneys for Captain Barnette in the numerous criminal cases against the Panama magnate tried in Valdez in December, 1912, before Judge Thomas R. Lyons. The haste is sup posed to be due to desire to avoid possible raising of the ten year statute of limitations, one of the Ballaine pat ents to the land bearing date May 1, 1905. The other Is dated May 20, 1905
 The complaint alleges that the Bal laines paid $3,OOO for the homestead scrip and s4,OOO to Mrs. Mary Low

PEACE PRAYER ON PASSION SUNDAY
Great Proportion of Parishoners Attended Services at St. Patrcz's Church-Pope Benedcts Peace Prayer Offer ed at All Servces-Father Malachi, Passonst Mission ary, Was Preacher at Evening Service.

Yesterday was Passion Sunday and had also been designated by Pope Benedict XIV as a day for prayers in every Catholic church outside of Eu- rope that the, supplications of men might move Almighty God to inspire those responsible for the terrible war to use their influence to bring about peace. In accordance with the desire of the holy father, a great proportion of the parishioners of St. Patrick's s church kept the day as Peace Sunday. Throughout the day, following the high mass, the blessed sacrament was ex- posed to the veneration of the faithful and hundreds visited the church, there to pray for the intention of the pope, that concord may prevail and the woes of war be speedily ended.
 The reception of the SacramentS was one of the obligations enjoined by the holy father. and the number of com municants, especially at the first mass record even for St. Patrick's parish. The auditory, exclusive of the galleries, seats about sixteen hundred. Nearly every pew was filled and the large ma jority of those in the congregation re- ceived the Holy Eucharist, offering their communions for world peace.
 As is customary, this early mass was read by the rector, Rev. John H.. Frederick, and the assistant pastor, Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly, aided in giv-
 
 preached briefly on the significance of Passion week, and the earnestness and seriousness with which Catholics should employ the coming days before Easter, in meditation on the passion, or suffering of the Holy Redeenler.
 At the children's mass at o'clock there was a congregation of over 2,0O0 and about 600 received holy com munion for Pope Benedicts intention. During this service Rosewig's Ave Alice Murphy, daughter of Mayor and Mrs. T. c. Murphy, the organist at the children's mass, Miss Ruth Jordan, ac- cornpanying.
 At the high mass the offertory solo was the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria, well sung by Miss Isabel Petroni, the majesty and beauty of the melody be- ing well brought out in Organist Frank L. FarrelPs accompaniment.
 Pope Benedict's prayer for peace was said at the services.
 Passionist Missionary Heard.
 At the evening service at the church there was again large con- gregation, occupying practically all of the seats in the main part of the church, with some in the galleries.
 The sermon was by Father Malachi of Boston, Passionist missionary, whose earnest and convincing words were listened to with pleasure by his hearers. He spoke upon the les sons that come to us from the sacred passion of Jesus, pointing out that but for the sacrifice of the Saviour our lives would be full of the agony of despair, and we would wander through the world as guilty wretches without hope of pardon. Like crim- inais awaiting execution we would tremble at every step that brought us a moment nearer to the hell where we were to suffer the torments of the damned. If hope and joy and light has come into our lives it is only be cause Jesus suffered and as we re-

member this and think of how much we owe him, what should our debt of gratitude be! Were this the only blessing which has come to us through our Lords sacred passion, it would be enough to merit our eternal gratitude, but He has established the church and the sacraments by which we may be practically assured of sal vation. It is to the cross of Calva- ry that these sacraments owe their existence, marvellous helps to us in our way towards salvation. We owe also to the passion of Jesus certain lessons as to what sin and hell are, and the vanity of life and the mercies of God. It is the cross of Christ that teaches us these things. The sweet est and most consoling message that the cross brings is the revelation of Gods mercy. Without the cross, like the Jews of old, We would fear even to utter the name of God But who could fear for the man who prayed for forgiveness for his executioner and pardoned the man who hung on the cross at his side?
 Turn your eyes then to our Lord and recall the blessings He has pur- chased for you and if you have been cold and indifferent by daring to commit those sins for which He died will enshrine His cross in your heart and home, giving a devotion that shows itself in your every day life.
 Passion Sunday Peace Prayer.
 The service closed with benediction during which the special Passion Sunday peace prayer composed by Pope Benedict XIV was offered. This was as follows:
 "Dismayed by the horrors of a war which is bringing ruin to peoples and nations, We turn, Jesus, to Thy most loving Heart as to our last hope God of Mercy, with tears we in- yoke Thee to end this fearful scourge; O King of Peace, we humbly implore the peace for which We long. From Thy Sacred Heart Thou didst shed forth over the world divine Charity so that dscord aud love alone might reign among men. During Thy life on earth beat with tended compas- sion, for the sorrows of men; in this hour, made terrible with burning hate with bloodshed and with slaughter once more may Thy Divine Heart be moved to pity
 Pity the countless mothers in an. suish for the fate of their sons; pity the numberless families now bereavet of their fathers; pity Europe, ovel which broods such havoc and dis aster. Do Thou inspire rulers anG peoples with counsels of meekness do Thou heal the discords that feal the nations asunder; Thou who aids shed Thy Precious Blood that they might live as brothers, bring mer together once more in loving har. mony. And as once before to the cry of the Apostle Peter: Save u: Lord, we perish, Thou didst answer with words of mercy, and didst stil the raging waves, so now deign tc hear our trustful prayer, and give back to the world peace and tran guilty
 And do Thou, o most Holy Virgin as in other times of sore distress, bt now our help, our protection and oul safeguard, Amen"

BELIEVER FOR 60 YEARS
 IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Rev. J. R. Stubbert of Putnam Tells Hartford Equal Franchise League.

Rev. John R. Stubbert of Putnam Baptist church addressed the memers of the Hartford Equal Franchise league the other afternoon. Mrs. M Tosean, president of the league in- troduced the speaker MT. Stubibert said that he had believed in woman suffrage for over 60 years. He said that the idea was not a new fancy but a very old principal. He spoke of the part women have played in history since the time when God fist saw that it was not well for man to be alone" and made Eve. Mr. Stubbert said that he was now looking forward to the time when there would be a woman President of the United States.
 The speaker said that he believed that one of the chief reasons for opp position to woman suffrage was the fear that many men had of the moral influence that women would exercise in the body pelitic.
 The speaker said that up to 1901 Connecticut women were permitted no voice as to the disposal of their own children in the schools. It was only a few years earlier that woman in this state had nothing to say as to the disposal of her own property. MT Stubbert, in closing, declared that to oppose equal suffrage was to oppose liberty, equality and morality.
