MUIRFIELD, May Q.N.s9.-
Less than Is minutes after Leo
Diegel, the inspired American, had
shot a II to take the lead in the
first round of the British Open
Golf Championship today, Percy
Allis. the Englishman. set the gal
lery agog by shooting a S4-S5-z69,
beating par by stroke and es'
tablishing what was believed to be
a new course record from the
championship tees.
Aliis thus went two strokes into
the lead for the first round with
about one-third of the field ac-
counted for.
Allis' SO simply astounded every
body, as 1t was thought that he
hadn't enjoyed sufficient practice to
make a serious bid for champion
ship honors. He was not picked
for the British Ryder cup team
because he had spent the spring
months on the Continent and had
been unable to tune up his strokes
on the snow-bound German courses.
Possibly the young man felt that
too. for he played light-heartedly
and seemed surprised that his only
mistakes came from three-putting
the fifth and sixth green's and
being trapped at the eighteenth.

How many victims were actually
eaten will never be known.
Many were smugglers working
along the Hungarian -Czechoslo-
vakian frontier whose disappear
ance was rarely noted. The investi'
gators traced IL cases. although the
prosecution is based only upon six
alleged murders. proof of which is
believed to be conclusive.
Since modern law does not recog'
nize the crime of cannibalism. the
technical charge against the de-
PENDANTS Is murder.
The defendants confessed re-
peatedIy and then withdrew their
confessions. Consequently, many
terrible secrets of their existence
will never be solved.

KILLING

The Grand Jury today re-
ported to Chief Justice Walter
/. Mccoy in Criminal Court
that it had exonerated Police
man Clyde 0. Rouse of blame
in connection with the fatal
shooting of 0ttmer Herman
Fleming, a young white man,
whom he was attempting to
arrest as a rum-runner last
April "a.
No reason for the ignoring of the
presentment was given by the
Grand Jury. but it is generally. con.
sidered that it was held by that
body that the policeman had done
his duty, as the law allows him to
use firearms in making an arrest
for the commission of a felony.
The recent Jones law makes pro-
hibition violations a felony and.
therefore gives officers wider dis

CATION revealed.
He declared at the time Of the
shooting that the last shot, which
was fired as the pursuing car
bumped across the car tracks at
Eleventh and N Streets Southeast,
must have caused the shot to go
higher than he had aimed, and hit
Fleming in the back Of the head.
Two Others Ignored
Two other homicide cases were
ignored by the Grand Jury. Fred
L. Lenoir, driver of an automobile
into which Motorcycle Policeman
Fred L. Buchanan crashed while
riding to an emergency call, April

connection with the 1atter's death.
The collision occurred at Seventh

an open trapping season like fox and mink, but some day Alaska will pay a bounty on lynx, as it does on wolves. Lynx are large carniverous animals, living on rabbits when they can get them. They also kill beaver, mink and fox when hungry, and at such times if two lynx meet meet, one becomes food for the other.
 Most fur-bearers are carniverous. When the migratory birds come in spring to make nests and raise their young these fur-bearers live we'll for a time. But birds go south in au- tumn, then snow and ice cover the tundra, and foxes face starvation through a long winter.
 Some winters many beavers and muskrats freeze out and die. These animals fould often get along if left alone, but ynx, wolverine or bear make short work of beaver when they find them in trouble.

REMEDY FOUND FOR ANIMAL .
 DISEASE OF "TAIL BITING''

"Tail biting" one of the many slourges hampering the fur-farming industry, will soon be thing of the past, in the opinion of Dr. E. F. Graves, Territorial veterinarian, who, n letter relently received by Gov. George A. Parks, said he believes he has found not only the cause of but also the cure for the disease.
 Dr. Graves diagnosed the ailment as manifestation of dermal sus- ceptibility," and treating severa cases on that hypothesis found that they responded readily to dietary correc- -tion."
 Writing the Governor on the sub- 4ject, Dr. Graves said:
 s'Itf is my opinion that I have found. the cause and cure for the con- dition known as tAil-biting.' The several cases that l have had an op- portunity to observe and prescribe for, both in fox and mink, have re- sponded quickly and favorably to treatment. My diagnosis was man. Hesitation of dermal susceptibility, which responded almost miraculously to dietary correction. This correc- tion and this typA of anavphlaxis in some cases has caused the animals to eat their own .buttocks and tails in their frenzy. I have seen mink whose tails were dropping off, and by the improved diet the condition developed in few weeks time-that is, the sore tails healed and no new cases developed. The fox cases I have pre- scribed for are now we'll. The foxes ceased to bite and chew their tails and the areas have healed and furred out as they normally should"

ALASKA'S FUR. PRODUCTION
 AND THAT OF PENNSYLVANIA

We often read that Pennsylvania produces more fur than Alaska.
 This may be true, but the figures given are at times not properly pre- sented, therefore not fair.
 Figures given for Pennsylvania are those of production, while those for Alaska are. of skins shipped. Some difference.
 I do not know the number of li- cense sissued in Alaska, but Pennsyl- vania issues about s25,000 hunters licenses. If everyone in Alaska was a hunter, we would still be outnum- bered about IA to 1, as there are about 38,000 people in the Territory.
 The Pribilof Islands are perhaps the richest spot on earth for fur bearers, being the breeding ground of the fur seal, but these seal are not counted as Alaska fur-bearers, be- cause they are not land animals. The foxes of these islands are counted as Alaska fur-bearars.
 Grizzly and brown bears are not counted as bearers, being consid- cred game. Several species of hair seals are killed along the coast and thousands. of their skins sold, but they are not furs; in fact, most. of them are not counted at all, as they are used in the Territory by natives for clothing.
 Our common (varying) hare, or rabbit, is used in considerable num- bers as furs by natives, but I do not find it mentioned among the, fur bearers. It may be fur-bearer in Pennsylvania, but it is not in Alaska.
 Having shown how we are outnum- bered by hunters and outfgured by writers, will try to give other req sons more natural why Pennsylvania should produce more per given area than Alaska.
 There are some who think the fur .ther north one goes the better fur country he will find, but this is not always so. Alaska is SO far north that we have no raccoon, opossum or skunk.
 The fisher is found in only g small ,corne rof Alaska.
 Some years muskrats lead in num- bers and value. Muskrats are more generally distributed, but many of them are small and inferior to musk rats of our Northern States.
 The fox, the red fox in particular, is our most valuable fur-bearer at present. But for lack of food in win- ter they ,starve or turn cannibal and eat each other.
 Alaska shipped about 10000 lynx in 1898, worth nearly one-half mil- lion dollars.
 Lynx are protected by law, having
