MOVIES

WHISPERS" society photo- drama, will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight. In this play Elaine Hammerstein plays the role of a girl tormented on all sides by mer- cenary relatives, unwelcome suitors and scandal l-mongers.
 In running away from her unpleas- ant surroundings she stumbles, in the most unexpected of all places, upon a romance that quickly makes up for all the disagreeableness of her recent past and brings her sunshine instead of gloom Matt Moore, in the part of the newspaper reporter, is the official dspeller of clouds and the maker of the happy ending.
 Alice Brady will next be seen here in Dawn of the East" Realart production in which the actress is presented as an aristocratic Russian refugee who, with others of he1 class, has fled to China at the out break of the revolution in Russia.
 E. H. Griffith directed this pie ture, which is one of the most sump- tuous in which Realart has ever presented Miss Brady. It will show here at the Empress Theater for two days, beginning next Thursday.

The Poacher Problem

had thirty blue foxes in a pen on a small island in Teachers Pass. l mo- tified the P. c. Deputy Marshal and other government officials at Wran- gell of the circumstances and condi- tions. They gave me no satisfaction whatever, Krause kept the foxes in the pen till the belts were prime, and sold them, or part of them, in Wran- gle for SLIGO. Some of his partneers in this deal are still at large in the midst of the fur farms of Southeast ern Alaska.
 I was amused the other day to see the name of an applicant for an is land lease, who stood on the deck of his boat, at anchor in front of George Schoves house on the Brothers 1s- land, and shot and killed one or Georges foxes while it was walking along the beach within 100 feet of the house, and too, while George was standing in the door watching the whole show. These have been the conditions under which the pioneer fur farmer has struggled.
 Unless the legislature gives the fox farmers the legislation they are entitled to this poacher problem will lead to a series of crimes that will parallel the cattle and horse rustling days in the West in the eighties and nineties. Horse thieves, cattle thieves and fox thieves are all in class of their own. No mercy should be shown the fox thief. There is every opportunity in the world for man of even very small means to engage in the fox business legitimately
 I dare say, that a great majority of the fox farmers in Alaska, if ap preached by a would-be fox thief and asked for a fox or pair of foxes on time, would show their generosity by favoring him. On the other hand, if the fox thief wiIlfully peaches foxes he should be dealt with severely.
 Any man who leases an island from the forestry department or from the federal government should be a good enough citizen to be sworn in as 6 deputy marshal, and should be given and vested with the authority to ar rest a poacher without having to leave his farm and go to the nearest marshal for a warrant-Fur Farmer Magazine.

WATERPROOF TOPS
 CHURCH 200 YEARS
ed by Historic Bird, Historic Mark

STAFFORD, Conn.,, April 10.-The golden weathercock that swims atop the steeple of Christ Episcopal Church here has an extra bright appearance these days, and throngs of motorists passing along Boston Post Road where the church is To- cated cast an extra glance at the bird which has taken the eye of passers-by these many years. For the 'bird' will be two centuries old in December. On March 21 the parishs celebrated the two nundredth anniversary of it's first minister's ordination.
 Founded despite opposition of the Congregational colony of Connecti- cut, under the guidance of members of Old Trinity (New York) vestry, by men who paid the heavy fines inflicted by the colony judges, Christ Church was erected in 1723 and the weathercock swung into position at Christmas time became a landmark at once. During the Revolution British soldiers, forbidden to despoil the church of their King took pot shots at the "rooster" from the road as they passed and knocked it askew besides putting holes through it.
 While the "bird" is as good as new today, wealthy congregation containing familites whose names are known throughout the land wor- ship beneath it's roasting place, proud of the fact that theirs is the oldest equally proud of the quaint old weathercock.

There is no one thing of greater importance to the Alaska blue fox island farmer than the poacher prob lem. More good island fur farms have been ruined by the poachers and more good conscientious fur farmers have become discouraged disappoint- ed and quit the business in disgust, rather than to stay in a business that had no protection, than from all oth- CT causes combined.
 George SchoEe started in the blue fox business business on Grindel Is- land, near the mouth of Kasan Bay, in 1905, then moved to the Brothers Island in 1907. I visited the Brothers Island in 1908, and George and I es- timated that there were 1000 foxes on the Brothers Island farm. In 1910 George Schove abandoned the Broth CTS Island in disgust, having taken about twenty sknns, poachers having poisoned shot and trapped the rest.
 Pride and Jones stocked Hound Is- land in 1905 with fifteen pair of fox es and cared for, and fed, and looked after them for two years. Hhe foxes did well and increased wonderfully. CTS raided the island, and practically exterminated them before Pride and Jones had chance to trap more than handful of the stragglers. They too gave up in disgust after four years of privation and hardship.
 It would take twenty pages to re- late onehalf of the experiences I had with poachers on Soukhoi Lsland while I was in the fox farming busi- ness there I had not turned my foxes loose on the island more than few days when fishing boat anchored in the bay. I rowed out to the boat and visited with the three men on board. While on deck I noticed a, milk box with some pieces of venison cut up in small pieces The men did no fishing, although the weather was favorable. I became suspicious the second night they remained at anchor. I watched the boat at night with a night glass, and about ten o'clock I saw a dory leave the boat and disappear in the darkness. Next morning I circled the island in a row boat and found the milk box with the meat in it that l had seen on the deck of the boat, in the edge of the woods a few feet above high water mark. About one inch of snow had fallen during the night, and the tracks of two foxes were plainly visible in the snow, where they had come down from their den and taken some of the bait. One of the foxes had eaten the meat and after having done so had went in a series of leaps up the hill. fol- lowed the trail in the snow and found the fox-a male-dead, under s log about 300 feet from where he had eaten the fatal dose of poisoned meat. The female escaped by probably be- ing warned by the danger cry of the male.
 In the fall of 1908 g. friend of mine, Ed Callihan, came to me and told me that Ed Krause and his associates
