PredatoryAnimal Control Asked For
 By Local Citizens
Mayor Grant Circulates Pe- tition to Governor Asking
 For Immediate Drastic Action Regard to Wolves

Mayor Grant this week circu- lated a petition to the Governor setting forth that on account of the great destruction of deer by wolves in Southeastern Alaska more drastic methods of wolf ex- termination should be employed at once. The petition was eager ly signed by the local citizens, and will be forwarded to the Gov ernor on the next northbound steamer.
 The heading of the petition reads as follows:
 First: Predatory animals, es. pecially the wolves, are destroy ing large numbers of valuable animals, chiefly the Alaska deer.
 Second: The present Territor- ial Bounty Law, in its application in s. E. Alaska, does not seem to decrease the number of wolves in this section.
 Third: It seems to us impera. tive, that in order to preserve the deer for future use, other and more drastic methods of wolf ex- termination must be sought and tried.
 Fourth: That the system adop- ted by the Biological Survey for the extermination of predatory animals in several States has proven far more effective than any of the bounty systems for merly adopted.
 Fifth: That the offer made by the Biological Survey for the free use of their gasboat "Regal' and SerVlceS Of two tralned men to work for wolf extermination in s. E. Alaska, giving two months service for $6O0.0O, ought to be accepted.
 Sixth, That we, the under signed citizens of Wrangell, Alas ka. respectfully petition and ask that the Governor of Alaska, use his best efforts to secure the amount asked for by the Biologi- cal Survey and to do so with the least possible delay so that what ever effective measures for wolf extermination is contemplated can be tried out during the pres ent winter.

WOMEN MAY MARRY
Postmaster General Hays Says Postal
Employees Will Not Lose Fights. =

,GINplOycS "Hl iNoS IOSc niSHtSs
Postmaster General Hays has decid-
ed. that a woman postal employe does
not change her status nor lose any
rights in the service. by marriage.
Heretofore when an unmarried wo-
man, holding the position of post
master, married she was obliged to Sc
cure new appointment; execute a
new bond, or pass the required civil
service examination in competition
with other candidates seeking the Of
fee, If she had not previously taken
such an examination. When the COM
petition was keen it t;has happened that
the woman was below three, of the
other candidates and lost the office.
Under the new ruling this cannot hap
pen as the woman postmaster will con-
tinue to hold the office without re-
appointment or another examination.
Similar controversies have arisen all
over the country when women are en-
ployed in the public service, ,particul:-
ariy in schools where it has frequent
ly been held that women who marry
forfeit their positions as teachers, The
ruling of Postmaster General Hays will!
set a precedent in the federal service
and will no doubt have an important
effect in establishing for women the
fun rights Of citizenship intended to
be conferred by the Njneteenth Amend
ment to. the constitution. 81. ,-
