CHICAGO SLAYER TAKEN AFTER
 LONG CHASE
NINETEEN YEAR OLD BRIDE AC- CONTAINED MURDERER IN
 HIS WANDERINGS

CHICAGO, Jan. 21 (P)-The arrest yesterday of Martin Durkin, who killed Edward Shanahan, government agent October II, and shot his way out of a police trap fortnight later, killing Sergeant Gray and wounding two others, eliminated yesterday when chase from country side to country side resulted in his capture. The pursuers were often only day behind Durkin.
 After his capture yesterday on a train between St. Louis and Chicago, Durkin, despite the shackles on his wrists and ankles, reached around his 19-year-old bride, who was arrested with him, and tried to seize a guards pistol. The bride is the daughter of a village blacksmith of Cornell, III.
 Durkin, after killing Gray, assumed feminine garb, powdered his nose, and went to New York city. He returned to Chicago December ?, and later went to Cornell where the couple eloped to St. Louis and were married the groom going under the name of James Durkey.
 The young couple went to Los An geles, where they stole an automobile from the salesroom of a Hollywood dealer, drove to Pecos, Texas, where they burned out bearing, later aban- doning the car and taking a train for San Antonio, tried to get into Mexico. He fooled the sheriff at Pecos, Texas. with story of being a deputy from California.
 Arriving at San Antonio they found the border watched and took a train for St. Louis. A Federal agent tele- graphed ahead and the pair were ar rested on the train.
 While but young man Durkin is acknowledged to be one of the most fearless and desperate of Chicago's gunmen.

FUR PLENTIFUL IN INTERIOR
 THIS WINTER
ENCOURAGING REPORTS RECEIV- ED BY FAIRBANKS PAPER
 OF FUR CONDITIONS

Reports reaching local Federal off. cials of the Fourth division indicate that fur is plentiful in the interior districts this winter. Especially en- couraging reports have come from the upper Panama, Eagle and Circle dis tricts where lynx are indicated to be in greatest prevalence. Pelts are in excellent condition owing to a bounti- full supply of rabbits the principal food of the carnivorous fur bearer.
 Coyotes are increasing at an alarm ing rate the reports indicate and are rapidly encroaching on the lower river on the Panama, and some have been caught as far south as Richardson. It has only been a matter of three or four years since coyotes were first dis covered on the upper Panama where they had migrated from the Canadian side.

GAME PLENTIFUL REPORT SURVEY
 MEN, INFERIOR
BIOLOGISTS FIND AMPLE CAME FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION
 OF BONNIFIELD

Warden Frank Dufresne and Biolo- gist William B. Miller of the U. s. Biological Survey returned to Fair banks last week says the News Min CT of last week. The men toured the Bonnifeld district where they inves- tigated game conditions and forage.
 Conditions were good beyond expec- tations they report. The sheep hills are bare of snow and numerous fur animals were found. Lynxes also are plentiful. A spirit of cooperation among the residents of the district making control of hunting a simple matter is lauded by the officials. Li- censing has met with entire favor, they say.
 Reports that wolves are a menace to the game of the Bonnifeld section is refuted by Warden Dufresne, who states that he could find little trace of them throughout the entire district covered by the survey.

 The government expects to show 46 persons were allied in the two year conspiracy against the United States to defeat prohibition.
 we will prove the organization was protected throughout the country except by Federal officers, whom they repeatedly tried to buy specific in- sance being that of February 19, 1924"
 Revelle gave specific names, dates and addresses, and traced the activi- tites of the organization, whose profits he alleged ran to $40,000 monthly.
 He said the gang worked on the same basis as corporation, and had a business office, bookkeeper, office for it's private lawyer, Jerry Finch, now leading the defense as counsel and co-defendant, Finch being given charge of the Olmsted office in the L.. c. Smith building. He gave legal counsel to the organization and aided their activities. Finch, Mark Elem ming, and George Reynolds were fix CTS and go-betweens, their business being to go to the police courts and arrange matters.
 They tried to get hold of the seized liquor after Reynolds Ca policeman) had knocked over" bootleggers who failed to buy from the Olmsted organ ization.
 The organization was composed of exporters, importers, smugglers, dis tributers, transporters, warehousemen, scouts, swampers, and jobbers.
 The attorney said the organization was one of the most colossal on the Pacific coast and that its ramifca- tions reached into the business and official heart of Seattle.

ADMIRAL LINE IN SERVICE
 OVER 40 YEARS
CAPTAIN JAMES BURNS, EARLY DAY ALASKAN NAVIGATOR;
 NOW AT SEATTLE

While in his teens and rambling on the docks of Liverpool, possessed of a longing to go to sea, Capt. James Burns dreams were made a reality. But not in the regular way for he found himself shanghaied aboard an English East India merchantmen sud- denly called upon to put to sea and shorthanded.
 That experience paved the way for Jimmy Burns maritime career, the past forty years of which he has spent in service on the Pacific and in this vicinity. Today he is rated as one of the most expert Puget Sound pilots and is employed exclusively in that capacity by the Admiral line. He is skipper of the tug Warrior of this ser vice as we'll.
 James Burns was born in Ireland in 1867. He has been active in Pacific waters since 1895, most of that time between Puget Sound and Alaska and latterly in local waters. He put in two years on the Yukon river and for number of years acted as mate and iplot of such vessels as the Dol phin, Cordova, Queen, Admiral Nichol- son, Admiral Rogers and others.

from working their way. through.
The ticking is then dried and
refilled.
For serious scorch stains the
following procedure may be used
Moisten a piece of cotton cloth in
hydrogen peroxide and place over the
stain, cover with dry cloth. Iron
with medium hot iron. II the
hydrogen peroxide soaks through
the dry cloth, replace with another
cloth. Be very careful to see that
the hydrogen peroxide does not come
in contact with the iron as it will
rust the iron very rapidly. Brown
stains will then be left on any
garment which the iron touches.
For the same reason, do not iron the
fabric from which the stain has been
removed until the hydrogen peroxide
has been well rinsed from it. This
method must be used carefully on
colored fabrics because the dyes may
be bleached out. However, it can be
used successfully on any. kind of
white fabric.
