bled for the metropolitan presenta-
ton of the Pinero comedy.
In a theater so large and by rea-
son of its favorable location. so ex-
pensive that it is used only to house
the largest of the musical plays, such
as the ziegfeld "Follies" and Sun
ny's," "Trelawny of the Wells

BIG COMEDY HIT
PLANNED BY BERKELL

1.-THE Cradle Snatchers" is the at
traction at English's with the Ber-
kell Players this week, beginning to-
morrow night.
This magnificently funny comedy
is deliciously mixed with farce, and
furnishes one of the pleasantest eve
nings one can imagine. 1t deals with
three wives whose husbands have me-
elected them so long that they are
growing very tired of staying at
home. So when said husbands men,
ton a hunting party" for the week
end, the wives plan a revolt. They
engage three young college chaps to
escort them to dances ETC., and are
in the midst of having pretended
high time when said husbands hap
pen in.
The trouble that follows sets the
audience In a gale of laughter. Need
less to say everything comes out all
right, but lesson is left for roam
ing husbands to ponder over.
This play calls into action every
member of the Berkell Players, and
it really IS an all-star play, for each
member has particularly good op-
portunity to strut his stuff"
1.-THE Cradle Snatchers" was writ
ten by Russell Medcraft and Norma
Mitchell. 1t was first produced in
New York by Sam Fl. Harris at
the Music Box with Mary Boland in
the lead. 1t is now running at the
Sam Fl. Harris theater In Chicago
with the original cast. 1t has proved
to be one of the greatest laugh hits
of the past season.

1t was first done by a Baltimore
stock company under the title of
"A Midsummer's Eve Dream" 1t
was such a pronounced hit that it
was later taken over by the Shu-

rector for that firm, suggested the
present title.
An eight week tour followed the
premier and the play was then taken
into New York, where it received
marvellous newspaper notices but lit
tie cash patronage.
The Herald Square theater, which
had previously housed girl and music
shows, was the Broadway domicile

one advanced the opinion that the 10.

Immediately there followed ex-

never seen at that time. The result
was that after four losing weeks

For the local presentation of the

cessfully ministered to his wife dur ing each trying ordeal. On this un- fortunate occasion the condition of his wife became serious after the child wss born, and thereupon Hoog- endorn communicated with Dr. Welch by wire for advice and doctor. The doctor replied with haste. The in- structions of Dr., Welch were i'm plicitly followed by Hoogendorn, but he lost his wife.
 About four hours afterward sev- eral neighbors were with the family and did all they could to assist. It is difficult to, understand why Hocgen- dorn should be held to answer under the circumstances, but considerable must be overlooked by reason of the fact that officials in isolated precincts are not conyersant with legal pro- cedure, nor are they expected to be.

have been used with such excellent success in the States. The Commis- sion does not at this time have funds available for predatory animal con- trol work, but is taking the matter is taking the matter up with the Sec retary of Agriculture in an effort to obtain funds fo rthe inauguration of this work in Alaska.
 The reports on migratory water fowl indicate that there has been no material decrease in their number during the past year. Some local areas report more than the usual number, geese being especially plen- tiful in certain sections.
 The caribou herds north of the Alaska range are gradually increas- ing, until at the present time there is a bountiful supply for use of the res idents of that section of Alaska. Moose are gradually on the increase, especially north of the Alaska range, and are holding their own or show ing slight increase in the Kenai re- zion, where hunting has been more intensive during the past two years.
 There has apparently been a slight decrease in the number of fur-bearing animals taken during the past year, which, no doubt, is due to the some what to the shortening of the trap ping seasons, but on the other hand the pelt value is equal to or slightly greater than in former years.
 The Commission appreciates the hearty interest which Alaskans are moving in the wild life protection and the support received from the public in the administration of the Alaska game law and regulations. 1he Commission announces that it's policy is that of seeking cooperation and support of the people in this work, for they state they are merely the custodians for the people of Alaska of the public wild life in the Territory.

THIRD ANNUAL MEETING OF
 ALASKA GAME COMMISSION

JUNEAU.-The third annual meet ing of the Alaska Game Commission closed in Juneau on January "A, after having been in session fourteen days. The full membership of the Commis- sion was present until the 18th, when Dr. Chase of the Third division was called home to Cordova.
 During the session careful consid- eration was given to large number of written and verbal suggestions constructive criticism proposing changes or continuing in effect the present regulations affecting game, fur and birds. in the Territory.
 The Commission does not deem it advisable to announce at this time detailed changes which it is proposing for the reason that announcement of proposed changes would be mislead- ing without. the full tex to fhe regu- lations and act at hand. Therefore, no announcement of detailed changes will appear until the regulations are published in revised form,, about April 1.
 For Southeastern Alaska no ma terial changes have been proposed, it being. found after careful considera- ton of written suggestions received and personal hearings held during the meeting that the existing regula- tions appear to meet fairly we'll the game and fur conditions as. found in this particular section. Any slight changes which. have been proposed for other parts of the Territory have been primarily to bring into harmony open and closed seasons as we'll as to adjust certain trapping seasons to meet climatic conditions. The aim of the Commission is. to make the least possible number of changes and those which are being proposed are designed to assist in the production of better, quality furs, and will also facilitate obtaining game, meat when it is in the best condition.
 Further attention was given to the problem of stocking certain lands in AlazkA with valuable fur-bearing and game animals. It is announced that excellent progress, especially in, the Prince William Sound and Kodiak Afogpak Island sections, has, been made under the appropriation by the Territorial Legislature. and the Com mission expects during the present calendar, year to complete work with in the limits of funds appropriated. Members of. the Commission state that the stocking of lands with fur bearing animals is like making dol Iarss grow where dollars have not be- fore grown and is virtually establish ing, a gigantic public fur farm.
 They announce that reports have been received from various parts of the Territory which indicate serious increase in wolves and coyotes and that 8 very insistent demand has arisen for the inauguration of preda- tory animal control measures, which
