Most of these localities, however, are far re- moved from the fishing grounds of the curing and reduction industry. In certain Central Alaska areas, on the other hand, where herring has reduction, the run for several years has been much lighter than in Chat am Strait, where fishing has been most intensive.
 As for the value of herring as food, certainly the greatest-in- deed the only-ecOnomic use that can be made of the bulk of the catch at this time is in the production of oil and meal If it is not wanted for food, why object to it's utilization for other purposes through which benefit is derived both by the pro ducers and the country at large?
 There is no real reason to be con- cerned over what use is made of the herring so long as fishing is not SD intensive as to endanger the future supply. The trouble is that no- body knows much about the herring their habits, whether or not there is any likelihood of depletion, their relations to other fisheries. All sorts of assertions are made, but the real facts are almost entirely unknown. It will not be denied that the fut- ure of the fishing should be protect ed: but restrictions of a fairly dras- tic nature have already been adopt. ed to this end, and it would-seem reas enable before taking further action to ascertain the facts of the situation.

Halibuters Arc Delayed
Situation Is BcoOming SeriOus With
 Plants Unable to Locate Herring

With no herring bait in sight for the halibut fleet and a numbe" oi boats now in port unable to pro- ceed to the fishing grounds, the situation is becoming more serious, and again is brought home directly to the halibut fishermen the alleged wholesale destruction of herring by numerous fertilizer plans in south eastern Alaska.
 Photographic inquiries have been mace as far south as Vancouver British Columbia, without 'ocatin" any bait. Andy Gundersol D; the Pirate who fishes herring fer the local cold storage plants sc,uted around as far as Yes Bay without finding any herring other than some schools of herring too smali to be of any use. He was to leave again this afternoon to keep cruising until he could locate herring, if possible.
 Among the larger boats now in port are the Resolute, Northern, Flattery and Sentinel. The Panama and Sunde are due from Prince Ru- pert this evening" Several smaller boats are kept in port because of no bait, and this condition has existed some time at other ports.
 Some of the halibut men were discussing the possility of taking along nets and trying to catch their own bait on the way to the sea fisheries. However, the most of them apparently will remain in port here in the hopes that Captain Gunderson will be able to locate fresh herring in the next few days.
 Recently most of the large ha1lbut boats have been overhauled and painted and made ready for the fall season, and the present setback will prove serious. Moreover, the prices now are slightly more than they have been for the past few weeks, and the halibut season will close November 15, which is an

Liquor Seizure Illegal
 In Alaska Residence
Supreme Court Rules Also in Pro-
 hibitiOn Gases in POrtO Rico and United States.

The United States Supreme Court on November 21 rendered three de- cisions affecting the National Prohi- bition Act. Two of these cases re- lated to enforcement in territorial poss essions, Alaska and Porto Rico, and the third to enforcement in the United States.
 In the case of the United States " Ole Berkeness, a resident of AL aska the Supreme Court again laid down the principle that mere pos session of liquor in the home is not unlawful, and the intention of Con- gross was that a private dwelling shall not be searched except under circumstances.
 ''This," and the opinion, rendered by MT. Justice McReynolds, dis closes a general policy to protect the home against intrusion through the use of search warrants. Certainly no adequate reason has been sug- gested for withholding from those who reside in Alaska the safeguards deemed essential in all territory sub ject to the jurisdiction of the Unit ed States"
 The Court sustained the decision of the United States District Court of Alaska which dismissed the casa against Berkeness under the Alaska Dry Law, on the grounds that 1t was unsupported by competent evil dence when it was shown that there was no evidence against him of sell ing liquor The United States Cir cult Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, affirmed the judgment, and the Gov vernment took a writ of certiori.

either Cobb, Collins or Wheat would

Rivals to TangIe in Three
Game Series This
Week.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 30
Clear, although chilly weather this
week has permitted Coaches Lam
bert and Tragesser to guide the
Purdue baseball squad through a Sc
ries of practice games this week in
preparation for series Of three
games with the Wabash College
nine tomorrow, Friday and Satur-
day of his week.
The series with the Little Giants
will be followed by another three
game series with De PAW on next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons. The six games, if wealth
er permits, will take the place of a
southern trip used by most of the
Big Ten schools to get in shape for
the Conference season.
The selection of a pitcher for the
opening game is considerably in
doubt owing to the fact that Charles
MaXton. apparently the leading
hurler of the squad, who has had
years experience, injured himself in
a practice game last Saturday and
has not worked since.
1t probably will be early nexE
week before he will be in condition
to pitch a game. McHargue and
Davies, both right handlers, probably
will have the mound call for the
opener, with the former first choice.
Captain Hugh Wise will be on the
receiving end.
The infield combination is crippled
by the illness Of Wilcox, who prob
ably will be out OF the lineup for
several weeks after spending three

pital owing to a leg injury suffered

corner.

Coming back to the game after

all wrong to hand him the added

Having accepted the manage

success in all things, he hated to

Contest Winds Up Indians
Exhibition Schedule in
Florida.
by Eddie Ash
Times Shorts Editor

SANFORD, Fla, March 3O.-Bill
Clymer, Derby Day Bill, and his
Buffalo Bisons of the International
League were in Sanford today to do
battle with the Indians, and the
rivalry that exists between the AS
ISOLATION and International circuits
was expected to help make the war
fare this afternoon more than
mere exhibition.
Indianapolis has already knocked
off one International club, Baltimore,
and Jack Wisner was slated to start
on the Hoosier mound today i'm Bet

Today's contest wound up the In

and they will depart for Birmingham
Thursday afternoon. The Tribesmen
will close activities in Sanford with
morning practice Thursday.
A mixture of Tribe rockies and
veterans defeated the Winter Park
club of the Orange Blossom indie
pendent League Tuesday, 4 to l.
Boone hurled seven innings
nine men. He allowed four hits and
walked three batters. Schemanske
hurled the last two sessions, and his
wildness permitted the opposition to
score a run.
Manager Bethel started the fray
with a rookie battery and second
string infield. Wyatt and Matthews
were the only regulars used the full
route.
The Indians failed to impress with
their batting against a lightweight
pitcher. In fact, Rowe, the young
Winter Park hurler, would have
held the leaguers to two runs if his
support had upheld him. The only
extra base hit for the Indians was
u double by Russell, who also got a
single.
Catcher Erne Wick, obtained on
option from the st. Louis Nationals,
was due to report to Manager Bethel
today. He was with the Louisville
Colonies a few years ago, and has
had other minor league experience.
Cookie Shorty Kugelman, rookie
catcher from Indianapolis, wouldn't
have traded places with Coolidge on
Tuesday. He was used behind the
bat the full nine innings, wearing a
white Indianapolis uniform. 1t was
necessary to use Shorty" because
Florence has a broken finger and
Snyder lame arm. And Kugelman
turned in fair enough job against
the small-town opponents.
Matthews beat out two bunts to
get In the hit column twice.
The second-string infieId was made
up of Miller at first, COmmeIo at
second, Hunter at third and Warstler
at short.

right now, even though he has never

On what he showed me and what l
have seen of him as minor Lacquer
he was ready for the big show as
far back as 1922. Probably he was
better player then than now. Five
years have been added. and he's
hardly a youngster.

great batter. What l have seen him
do in the. field makes him stand out
as a wonder. What is more, he
makes it look easy.
If Joe Boley can hit .270 in the

will be a whale of a help to Connie

How, When, Where?

Kelly primarily is a first baseman
but Wally Pipp is a good campaign
er and hardly can be benched. Kelly
can play second base and the out
field, but he is not a championship
ball player in either position.
Hugh Critz, rated as the greatest
fielding second baseman in baseball,
hasn't reported to the club and he
insists that he will not until he gets
more salary. His game is of such
importance to the defensive strength
Of the club that he probably will get
close to what he wants.
In Charley Dresser, Babe Pineh,
Horace Ford, Wallp Pipp and Clarke
Pittinger, the Reds have competent
men on each side of second base, but
Critz would work better in the COM
bination than Kelly.
The difficulties the club is having
with Adolfo Luque, veteran Cuban
pitcher, also makes it hard to es-
innate the real strength of the
team. Although the management
contends that Luque is not on the
market, there are reasons to believe
that he may not be with the team
when the championship season
starts, and So far there is no way to
figure what pitcher the team might
get in a trade for him.

bles Hargrave, National League
