MAKING FINAL
 DRAFT OF IRISH
 FREE STATE ACT

London, Jan. 1T-Details inciden to the transfer of authority in south ern Ireland from the crown govern ment to the provisional admtnistra- tion established in Dublin on Satur- day were considered here today. Ramon J. Duggan and Kevin Q Hig- gins. delegates to the Irish provi- siona1 government. arrived in London to confer with members of the Brit ish cabinet relative to thu investment of the new regime with governmental responsibility.
 Initial steps in the establishment of the new provisional government of tho Irish Free State were taken at Dublin yesterday, when & proclama- ton was issued, announcing the pro vistona1 government had entered up on Its duties under the treaty with Great Britain. Tho war office has an nounced that withdrawal oc British forces in southern Ireland will ccm- merice immediately and that the men win be moved as rapidly as oondi- tinns permit.
 The Morning Post, newspaper which has steadfastly shown hostility to Irish home rule and has upheld the people of Unionisrn, todayp rlnted the following dispatch from its Dub lin correspondent.
 'nThe provisional government will make a great mistake if 1t does not level Dublin Castle to the ground There is an evil spell upon IL, ana iCS spirit Is quite as capable of destroy ing the Irish Free State as it was of destroying the union with England. Certainly nobody who has believed in that union would weep if the castle should crumble to dust. It's spirit of tintolerant bureaucracy, the type of politician that it harbored and the kind of administrators bred did more to destroy the union than agttators and treason-mongers.
 When the exodus begins the fast nesses of Dublin Castle will d1sgorge high salaried officials who have not done @ stroke of honest work In years"
 The correspondent intinated the officials against whom he was writing we're in coIIusion with rebels" while drawing salaries and wearing titles received from the crown.

 Responsible For Death Of
 NOrlCaLE Hotel Keeper

Mike Sertno, Norwalk, is criminal 1y responsible for the death Novem- Der 2, of Luigi Apicella, 51,- whom it is believed Serino shot with a SS salibre revolver. This is the outcome of the investigation conducted for weeks by Coroner John J. Phelan. as sisted by the Norwalk and State po- lice.

Joseph Pace, Sam Libertino and Mike Serino were in the store.
 One of the men took the shot gun away from ApiceIla. extracted the shells. Apicella took the gun and placed the shells in his pocket. An argument arose, and the murdered man is said to have been generous in passing dirty names around the room to all the men present. However, the coroner finds that he was unarmed. when & man. believed to have been Serino. killed him with one shot from a powerful 3S calibre revolver.
 The shot passed through the lower lobe of the right lung: the left side of the diaphram, and the left kidney. The men grappled on the uoor Tor a moment, before Apicella died. The bullet bored through a heavy door, leading to a rear room, and was found deeply imbedded in the wall. It is remarkable that no others were struck.

GUST PETERSON DEFENDANT
 IN SUIT OVER OIL STOCKS

The Seattle Alaska Dispatch of recent date has the following ac- count of an action in court which involves August Peterson, formerly engaged in gold mining in the Fair banks an Tolovana districts:
 Attempt to determine who owns stock in the Alaska Development Company, capitalized at s1,5o0,o0o and possessing what is declared to be valuable oil properties near Gas par, Wyoming, was begun in super for court when J. R. Prigmore, one of the defendants in the main suit filed a cross complaint in which he admits allegations of the plaintiffs and sets forth his independent claim for stock. The main suit is by Ed ward Brady, George Harroun and Ben L. Moore, plaintiffs, against August Peterson and Augusta Peter son. J. R. and Maud II. Prigmore and the Alaska Development Com pany, defendants.
 Peterson and Prigmore, # is set forth in the complaint, decided to get hold of valuable oil properties in Wyoming, held by the Wyoming Elaboration Company They organ ized the Alaska Development Com pany. turned over S749,000 Of the million and a half capitalization to the exploration company, and placed S751, ,0OO in the new company. Prig- more alleges that this par value stock was to be divided equally.
 After debts were paid of. some S2OO,00O was placed in the treasury of the new company, it is stated in the complaint, and s4o0,000 re- mained to be divided. Prigmore, in his cross complaint, wants an ac- counting and division. He has as signed one half his interest to the three plaintiffs, Brady, Harroun and Moore, it is stated, and they enter the case through that assignment.
 Peterson, according to the plaintiff Ben L. Moore, denies that he and Prigmore were to share equally. It is understood that he will contest the suit.

BUREAU OFFICIAL ASSERTS
 BROWN BEAR IS AN ASSET
(Cordova Times)

Disregarding the question as to whether or not the big brown bear of Alaska should be protected by law, they are a very decided asse. to the Territory in that they con- stitute a veritable magnet in drawing parties of big game hunters to the Northland from all parts of the States.
 This is the opinion of Ernest P. Walker, of the United States biolog- ical survey, as expressed in an in- teresting talk made before the Alaska Game Protective Association of Cordova.
 "The big game hunters who an nually visit Alaska are generally men of large affairs. men who re- present big enterprises and large capital" NIT. Walker pointed out. Many instances are on record where these men have become in terested in a variety of Alaskan in- dustries as the result of a hunting trip to the Territory. They not only leave large sums of money in the Territory as a direct result of their trip, in the matter of outfits, transportation, guide fees, and the like. but they often become inter ested, and in turn interest other capitalists, in our fisheries, our mining, timber and other resources. And they become consistent and in fuential advertisers of Alaska
 Mir. Walker emphasized the fact that the wild life of Alaska cons-i- tutes one of the most valuable re- sources, second perhaps 10 the fish cries in importance. He believes that we have wonderful field for the encouragement Of wild life. in- cluding the introduction of new species.
 Alaska, owing to :ts comparative isolation and inaccessibility, and it's limited population, is one of the greatest potential wild life farms in the world" continued MT. Walk CT By protection and encourage ment it can be made to support a great deal more life than at present and offers immense opportunities for the introduction of new species"
 It was suggested that possibly the action of the department in opening the season on marten and beaver was a little premature, in reply to which MT. Walker stated that this action was taken by the department as a temporary relief measure with view to easing the depression prevalent in the Terri tory as a result of limited opera tions in the fisheries industry. Mir. Walker is anxious to get the opinion of trappers and other competent observers as to the condition of beaver, marten and other fur bear . ing animals in the Territory.
