GENERAL ALLEN, FRIEND OF ALASKA, MAY GET PLACE ON
 STAFF;;RETURNS FROM RHINE

tor named Bremner, for whom the Bremner River is named. Bremner had wintered at Taral. He was subse quently murdered by natives on the Koyukuk River. His death was avenged by other prospectors, who ef- fected the first lynching in Alaska.
 Because of his keen interest in the work, General Allen not only exceed ed his orders, but suffered untold hard ship and privation in doing it. His enthusiasm brought him considerable Department, one of the things for which he was criticized being that he paid first-class fare from St. Michael to Seattle for a sergeant who had ac- companied him. They travelled on one of the palatial ocean liners that were in the whaling business in those days, and which probably hadn't any second. class accommodations. Some time later, however, he was commended by General Nelson A. Miles, and was men, toned in orders as having distin- guished himself "with courage, forti- tude, tenacity and ability in explor- ing the unknown regions of Alaska"
 General Allen has been in command of the American forces keeping the watch on the Rhine since July 2, 1919, gett. He commanded the 90th Divi- sion at the St. Mihiel and the Ar gonne-Meuse offensives.

According to special dispatch in the Seattle Daily Times under date of Washington, February 10, now that the American troops have returned from Germany, Alaska will have friend on the general staff for few weeks, Maj.-Gen. Henry T. Allen hay ing been assigned to that service, where he most probably will remain until his retirement on April 13 next.
 General Allen is among the oldest of Alaskan sourdoughs. In 1S85-he was instructed to make an exploration of the Copper. He started from Orca Bay, where Cordova now stands, and with three soldiers and a couple of prospectors, made one of the greatest journeys in the annals of Alaskan ex- ploration. He was the first white man to see the ground where the towns of Cordova, Kennecott and Fairbanks a,c now situated.
 By sled, and later by boat, he trav ersed the Copper River to Chitina and crossed the divide from a point near Kenecott to the Panama to the Yukon, living most of the time on the game that fell to his rifle. Going down the Yukon he discovered large stream coming in from the Koyukuk-to where Coldfoot is now situated. He later made cross-country trip to Nor ton Bay and St. Michael.
 On his way he picked up prospec

 Steps looking to the formation of a game protective association are under way in Anchorage and in all likeli- hood will fructify into an organiza- tion that will have strong bearing on the propagation and protection of wild life.
 The objects of the association are something along the lines of that or ganized at Cordova and which is serving broad purpose in applying comprehensive principles to protect ing and propagating game.
 Since the organization of the Cor dova association community hunt ing lodge has been established, and grain has been supplied for feeding wild fowl and greater care has been used in observing the game laws. It is planned by the Cordova associa- tion to introduce more deer into the district, and by series of progress sions keep the nearby game covers we'll stocked.
 The incentive for the organization in Anchorage is the creation within reasonable distance of the city of a game range calculated to attract tour ists and big game hunters. With the coming of the railroad one of the

party, was arrested on a charge of violating the Mullan-Gage act.
 MansIauehter Charge
 A charge of manslaughter was placed against Cecil Green after Sheriff Williams and District At torneys Adrian A. Pierson took state- ment from all who were present at the orgy.
 The Christian Hill place where Ira Green dwells has long been known as a veritable moonshine farm by Hartwick neighbors. Never of very productice acreage, it's fruit fitness was not increased by it's owner, who titled it between protract- ed trips to town. Ira Green was we'll known to the people of Oneonto where some time ago he was found in a drunken sleep on the lawn of George B. Baird, with his team under a shade tree.
 His method of solving the labor problem on his stony estate was pe culiar. A bachelor, his farm house has always been full of aged human derelicts, booze addicts, who, unable to find other employment elsewhere, lived with Green. In return for what limited labor they were capable of performing he gave them enough to eat-and drink.
 Dingman and Hecox are both aged men, and Chase, while his exact age is unknown, was we'll beyond the sixty mark.

ANCHORAGE ORGANIZES GAME
 ASSOCIATION AFTER C0RDOVA'S

best moose, goat and sheep ranges in the Territory was depleted of these animals by indiscriminate pot hunting. It is proposed to employ methods that will allow the animals to increase, embodying closer super vision on the part of careful hunters in the killing of game and securing cooperative effort in strict obser vance of the game laws
 It is hoped to enlist every hunter in Anchorage and environs in the association.
 While the objects above are enl- bodied in the plans incubating, there is a deeper underlying purpose-that of conveying to the authorities having to do with game regulations in the Territory, collective opinion on ques- tion of changes and administration of the game laws. Owing to the lack of organizations in Alaska the Territory has been at the mercy of such influences as the Camp Fire club of New York and other foreign organizations, whose objects have been the conservation of game as a zoo adjunct rather than compre- hensive hunting. It is believed that once the sportsmen of the Territory take the matter in hand a law will be enacted satisfactory to everyone.

Aged Man Strangely Slain After
 Drunken Revel on Moonshine Farm

ONEONTA, N. Y, Feb. 24.-As strange as the widest imaginative tale of Edgar Allan Poe is the story unfolded here recently by Otsego County authorities, following an in- vestigation into the strange death of John Chase, an aged retainer re- siding at the Hardwick township home of Ira Green.
 Investigation, the authorities say, showed:
 A drunken revelry at the Green farm, known locally as "the Moon shine Farm of Christian Hill," was brought to a dramatic and tragic conclusion when Cicil Green picked up the sodden form of John Chase and, carrying him outside, threw him in the watering trough.
 Affair Kept Secret
 Later, they said, Green picked up Chase, by that time frozen stiff, carried him inside and thawed the icy mantle from his dead body with boiling hot water.
 The circumstances surrounding the death of Chase were kept secret for a few days, but Coroner Norman w. Getman finally learned of the affair and. after conducting a thorough in- vestigation, ordered the body of the dead man removed to the morgue at Cooperstown, and had Cecil Green, Ira Green, William Dingman and George Hecox arrested on open charges.
 Later Anthony Martinus, a Hart wick farmer, from whom five gallons of moonshine is alleged to have been purchased just before the tragic

DEMPSEY'S CAMP BY 2 NEW MAULERS
Jack McAuIiffe And Farmer Lodge Secured As Champs
 Sparring Partners

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. T., Au- gust 25.-(By Associated Press.)- New sparring partners began arriv ing in Jack Dempsey's training camp today assuring the worlds heavy weight champion of a capable staff to whip him into shape for his match with Luis Angel Firpo September fl.
 Jack McAuliffe, the Detroit heavy weight, who was knocked out by Firpo in one of his early American engagements, is the latest addition to Dempseys camp. McAuliffe is eX- pected to prove a valuable aid in get tirg Dempsey on edge. McAuliffe boxes with lightning speed, and Dempsey wants to develop speed, as he figures he already is in good physical condition.
 There was no let-up' in the attend ance at Dempsey's camp yesterday although the price of admission was doubled to $1.10. Dempsey has a slight cold, but he risked the dan ger Of aggravating his condition to engage in a workout equivalent to eight rounds.
 Dempsey was in the ring for 35 minutes He boxed six rounds with trio of sparring partners, in addi- tion to two rounds Of shadow boxing and a round of heaving the medicine ball,
 Jack Burke, who fights Dempsey as if engaging in a real bout rather than training match, surprised the champion yesterday by carrying the battle to him in their two rounds and landing apparently as he pleased with effective rights to the head. Burke set such a furious pace and threw so many punches at the cham pion that Dempsey was tigerish at the finish Burke had no trouble in landing solidly with rights, revealing to critical observers that the cham pion must perfect a defense for right hand punches before meeting Firpo. A clubbing right is regarded as Firpo's most dangerous blow.

BLACK GHOST PUTS STANDS ERECTED
 UP GREAT BATTLE BY COL. BERRY ON IN FIRPO WORKOUT BULLDOG CAMPUS

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August 25. (By Associated Press.) )-Jeff Clarke, the black ghost of Joplin, Mo- stepped into the ring at Luis Angel Firpo's training camp and gave the South American challenger for Jack Dempsey's title the stiffest and best workout he has had. The engagement lasted two rounds and was rough enough to keep a crowd of about 2000 spectators shouting with satis- faction. The shiny head of the ghost bobbed in and around the Argentine and caused him to miss several rights sent straight from the shoulder, but Jeff could not keep away all the time and was right soundly punished.
 Firpo boxed in addition two rounds with Frank Koebele and J. McMann, Koebel has developed a right punch with considerable power behind and landed often on the Argentine's jaw but Luis Angeles did not seem to be more bothered with such punching than he was bothered by his heavy swings into Koebels midsection.
 Firpo went on the road for q short spell. He raced around with Natali Para and McKann, Louis Angeles was an easy winner.
 He is adding some flashy apparel net that came from the Argentine has been discarded for a sailor, wide of brim and a few silk shirts of color was being worn in place of detachable cuffs.

Aries Ambition Realized As He Wins At Chicago

SOUTHSHORE COUNTRY CLUB, Chicago, August 25.-Mark Arie, og Champaign, Ills, who is world cham pion at the traps until the 1924 Olmpics, today stood at 23 yards distance handicap and won the Grand American handicap event with score of 96 out of the 100 tar gets, which ended the six day shoot ing program here.

 In 1912. Arie was the victor in the North American amateur cham pionship at double targets and then in 1917 he won the single title of North America but probably his most successful accomplishment was the taking of the worlds champion ship at the Olympic games.
 Mark Arie also won the a1I- around championship of North America for carrying the best aver age throughout six days of shooting in the Grand American. His score was 957 out of 1000 targets In taking this event he won the gover- nor's cup from Phil R. Miller, run- ner-up this year and the Dallas, Texas shooter who won last year over the Atlantic City traps with a score of 939
 Second high winner in the Grand American handicap event was Frank Hughes, of Mobridge, S. D., who also stood at 23 yards and popped 95 tar gets These scores of the winner and runner-up were remarkable accom- pIishments from the 23-yard handi- cap mark.

StubbS and Norris Will Prob ably Return Next
 Season

As the 1923 football season al Howard hears, the prospects are grad ually growing brighter, but specula- tion is running rife over the proba- ble strength of Coach Cope's Bull- dogs.
 An impetus was given interest in Bulldog football circles during the past week when it was announced that construction will begin immedi- ately on set of stands for Berry field, tC care for the crowds ex- peeted to see Towards campus foot ball games this season. The latest improvement to Berry field has been donated by the stanch supporter for whom the field Is named, Colonel Berry, who is stand ing the expense of the construction of the stands.
 There will be accommodations for 1000 people, in 20 sections of stands, capable of accommodating 50 people each They will be knock-down stands, which can be moved about to suit the field. During football season the stands will be lined up on both sides of the field, but during baseball they will be cCngregated on one side to make room for the out field.
 Lumber is still on the field and construction will get actively under way during the coming week.
 Colonel Berry is rapidly proving to the world that he is enc of the stanchest of Bulldog supporters. It was he who little more than a year ago had Berry field graded and sodded and materially improved. Then, just before the baseball season began last spring. Colonel Berry do- noted modern steel wire fence to surround the athletic field. And now he is paying for construction of the stands at Berry field.
 Joy prevailed in the Bulldog camp when 1t became known that Toby Stubbs, guard, and Frank Norris, tackle, who had been undecided whether to return or not, would in all probability be back with the team another season. All the other vet erans. except those lost by gradua- ton and Jess Lackey. who has left school, will be on hand when the season begins.
 Freshmen will be eligible this year, and the advent of nice crop of heavy men will make it something of problem for Coach Cope to select his varsity men.

Roy Moore Has Best Percent age Among Dixie Pitchers. Danny Clark Leads In HOmerS

Outside of Huhn of Mobile, there is not one of the leading batters in the Southern association who knows where he is likely to land after each game. There are close to a dozen players who are all in a bunch, a hit or two sending them up or down as the fortunes of war dictate.
 Hush has taken a slight tumble but nothing to speak of He is, however, in a safe position as yet, as there is no one among the regu- lar players who is close to him at present. Huhn's mark is .354, with Herman of Memphis nearest, with .239. Then come Cueto and D. Will Hams of Mobile, Bernsen of Nash ville Nunamaker of Chattanoog2- 'and Smith of Little Rock in a bunch. Not far behind are Cuyler of Nash vile, s. Clarke of Birmingham and R. Williams of Mobile
 There has been a considerable stir in the department of long drives. D. Clark of Atlanta has hunched his record to 16 during the week, which means that he had added three clouts to his last weeks mark. Her man of Memphis is his nearest rival with 13. None of the other leading swatters have been able to get the ball out of the lot.
 Hace On The Passes.
 The race on the pases continues but it has slackeend just a bit as Cuyler has only been able to add 8 to his 52, exactly the same number that Neun of Birmingham as been able to compile during the past week.
 In the general rush for singles and homers, the fact that Huhn is lead ing with 40 two-base hits have been more or less overlooked. This is Ioo
 There have been no changes of importance in the team averages. Nashville, still leading. has, how ever, fallen down in hitting. Bir- mingham has dropped in fielding, while New Orleans has frightened up O trifle on the defensive.
