further service at Ketchikan last
Wednesday, 102 were indictments for
alleged violations of fishing laws,

largely devoted to the fishing in

generally of fishing laws and recon-
mending the appointment OF an in

methods by packers, and betterment
of social conditions existing among
employees in the industry.

alleged violations of fishing laws. the
final report said:
Although generally admitted that
the waters were being overfished
and the salmon were threatened with
extinction, and that a closed period
during the spawning season was the
most logical method of preservation,
this jury has not received the slight
est evidence of any effort or intent
to obey the law. So far as this
Grand Jury has been informed not

COAST SPEED KING ENTERS FOURCARS NV SWEEPSTAKES

INDIANAPOLIS, March 1;-(Spe- cial)-Clifford Durant, California automobile manufacturer and sports man. who this week broke all speed records. has entered a quartet ot Durant Specials in the eleventh an- nual 5oo-mile international sweep stakes, which will be run on the In dianapolis brick oval on Memorial Day. The entry of Durant's four cars brings the total entries to date to eight, with Tommy Milton's MiI- Ter Special. and the three cars of the small portion of the field which will line up to battle for an aggregate purse of s1o0,oo0 on May 30.
 Cliff" Durant, as he Is known to 1ans, owns more racing cars than any other man in America and prob ably in the world The four he is entering for the Indianapolis race have been built in California during the winter and are being tuned up for the 122-inch event. In addition he has four cars of the 1S3inch class which he has raced during the winter on the California board ovals, also two or three cars which he has aput away, being slower than his present mounts.
 In making his entries the son of w.: c. Durant did not give any de-
 
 drivers except that the cars are eight-cylinder models, with bore Of 11-32 inches and stroke of 312 inches. It can be assumed that the cars will also be of the one-man type and that no mechanics will be carried in the five century grind. Probable Drivers.
 While Durant did not nominate single driver, it is safe to assume that he will drive one of the four himself and the remainder of his pilots will come from California. Jimmy Murphy, winner of the last miles an hour. has driven for Cliff during the winter on the coast and might be one of the four; Eddie
 "Grandpa"O Hearne finished second with one of Durant's cars in 1913 and is a likely candidate for one car; Harry Hartz; the youthful pilot who led many laps last Memorial Day and ran second to Murphy Is another possibility; Earl Cooper, the retired Stutz star, is also not to be counted out Almost any one of the four would be in line for one Of these fast cars. cliff" Durant is the wealthiest racing driver in the speedway game. He maintains that automobile racing much rather try to beat the clock In 8 fast car than to while away the hours on the golf links. He started major league racing back in 1911 and had Louis Chevrolet with him in his first venture, the Los Angeles race. Since that time he has retired twice at the suggestion ot his famous parent, but each time he has persuaded "W. C." that he needed this type of recreation. His other sport is fishing and he maintains a large ranch and hunting lodge on the AuSable river. near Roscommon, Mich. spending the greater part ot the trout season there. Ho is also an aviation enthusiast and keeps planes both in Oakland, Cal; and at his Michigan ranch.

ITALY ORGANIZES
 STATE MILITIA LIN
 AIM [ RI | \ N IDEA.
Members of New Military Or ganization, Composed Prin- cipaIIy of Fascist, Will
 Wear Black Shirts

ROME, March 1i-Premier Musso- lini's newly organized state militia. which Is mainly enlisted from the Fascist, is built upon the plan Of the national guard organizations in the United States. Service in the Italian militia IS voluntary, and Is unpaid unless on active service. It's members follow their regular professions and occupations and drill in their spare time. They are to be used in case of civil disorder, while in tho event Cf war they will be merged into the reg ular army.
 Already the new organization is filled with former soldiers and lads who participated In the recent his toric Fascista coup. when Premier Mussolini was called to head the gov ernment. Preference in choosing the personnel of the new fore is given to Fascist. Moderate natfonalists, Plume legionaires and those of prov en Italian faith" are given the sec ond consideration.
 In Every Town
 Units of the new militia will be placed in every town, just as national guard GnltS are ulStTlDulcu III thS towns and cities of America. While no definite orders have been issued regarding the uniform of the new force, it Is expected that the black shirt of the Fascist will be adopted. It has been pointed out that the black shirt is now traditional, just as was the red shirt in Garibaldis time. The men in the new body are said to favor the black shirt in pref erence 10 an army unifCrm- for It was in these shirts they made their celebrated march on Rome.
 The new militia may be called to garrison duty in the Italian colonies in Africa. There they would super sede the regular army, the units of which would be returned to Italy for training in war tactics.
 In a recent communique it was stated that the purpose of the new militia was tC absorb all the military organizations of the various politica parties.

PELICAN HURLERS. SHOW MUCH STUFF M PRACTICE TILT

NEW ORLEANS. La. March 17.- Larry Gilbert has gotten together what appears to be the best South ern league team that New Orleans has ever started season with, and if the boys play with the same pep and vigor and as well as they did in the first exhibition game with the New York Yankees, which they won, 13 to 0. then the other South ern league teams will have to do some hustling to head them off.
 Gilbert will not be troubled with his pitching staff, according to pres ent indications. Smoke" Thomas, from the University of Alabama, is in fine condition. He gave the Yankees only three hits in the five innings that he worked. Roy "Dixiesl Walker is also in superb shape and pitched well, giving up only one bin- gle in four innings. Both have been playing winter ball all season and are ready for the gong.
 Joey Martina is another who has been playing winter ball and of whom Gilbert expects great deal. Then there is Molly Craft and Eddie Mat teson, both old standbys. Matteson arrived here Tuesday and said that he was ready to buckle down and get ready for hard work. Gilbert did not disappoint him and had him out in uniform in a very short time.
 Smith. formerly of the Shreveport Texas league club and Clanton are trying out for first base to succeed Snake" Henry. Smith is the better hitter of the two, but is not so sure as fielder. Clanton can field like q fiend, but is rather shy with the stick. Cotton Knaupp will be at sec ond base and Deeby Foos will again play shortstop. Hurt or Wassem, re- cruits, are trying for the third base place, but the season is so early nothing can be said of eithers chances. Dowie and Hubbard are the catchers. Dowie has no worry over his place, but. Hubbard will have to hustle up a bit.
 It is thought that the New York Tanks may leave some of their play CTS here. Gilbert is short on out fielders. Eddie Bogart in left being the only man sure. as Gilbert, who is now playing center, may not want to get into every game. He has Cav thorn and Oliver trying out for right field and both show promise.

 Scientific Theory
 MT. Warren explains that scientists claim that with free electrons In . mass of air, each electron attaches itself to certain number of mole cules and so forms a gas ion, upon which moisture condcnses, thereby making a cloud particle. Should the velocity of the electrons be very great he said they will combine with the artificialIy charged particles Gas it has been noted that their fall strongly electrifies surrounding air) this will produce a so-called trigger action forcing the electrical charge In the cloud to change from a static to kinetic state, that will rapidly spread or flash over the whole cloud ed area, from the spraying of only few poupds of dust over a small part of highly charged storm move ment, and force precipitation when the wet bulb conditions are favora- ble over the dry section where 1t is required, in place of falling az it TOW does over oceans or large bodies of water where it is not required.
 It was found in the experiments that wherever the charged particles of sand, in sufficient quantity, were released at the top of a cloud and the cloud was of opposite charge to the sand, large hole, in a fraction of minute, was made through the entire cloud from top to bottom.
 No largo scale attempts were made. MT. Warren said, at artificial rain making with Nimbus. Cumulo Nim- bus or other heavy rain clouds as the experiments were solely directed at the removal of mists and fogs covering areas extensive enough to justify the army air service in in- stalling the process over one of it's foggy flying fields. He said that all heavy rain clouds are highly electri- fled and it was not deemed safe to deal with them with high voltages until measures were taken to guard against possible accidents to the pilots and planes.
 At its Moundsville. W. Va. field, the army air service proposes to employ a captive balloon. containing an electric equipment and anchored by cable to truck. The balloon and equipment will keep the field and surrounding regions free from fog and also serve as a beacon night and day during misty or foggy weather. At night the balloon will be illumi- mated, so that it may be seen by fly CTS, and the location of the open and free landing space determined.
