EXPLOSION OCCURS ON GASB0AT; MAN
 SERIOUSLY BURNED

A serious gasboat accident in which one man was badly burned and the boat destroyed by fire, oc- cured near Aaron Creek, on Tues day of last week.
 Carl Holm and Dick Harris of Ketchikan, had chartered the gas- boat Explorer for a hunting trip When in the back channel from Wrangell the gas line in some way ignited and the tank exploded Holm was seriously burned. A mo- ment before the explosion occurred Harris had gone into the hold to get some apples, and so escaped getting burned.
 Harris succeeded in getting Holm into a row boat and they made the nearby shore where they kept warm for some time from the heat of the burning gasboat. When morning came they rowed to a cabin four or five miles away. Holm was sui fering the agonies of death. Ills face, head, scalp and both arms from the elbows down were deeply burned and his eyesight temporar- ily destroyed, but as a high sea was running, it was necessary for him to do his share of the rowing though the skin on his hands was hanging in ribbons.
 The men were three days in the cabin. Harris happened to have four matches in his pocket, so they had a fire but nothing else until they succeeded in hailing passing gasboat Friday afternoon which took them aboard and brought them to Wrangell where Holm was placed in the Wrangell General Hospital
 The gasboat on which the explo- sion occurred was total loss. oth- CT losses included six hundred dol lars in currency, four new guns and five cases of ammunition. Had both men been burned there is not the slightest chance that thes would have survived the hardshlps to which they were subjected toi- lowing the explosion.
 MT. Holm is a young man So years of age. He is a native or Sweden but has been in this coun- try since 1911. His attending pny- sician reports that he is doing fair ly well but that he is far from be- ing out of danger.
 MT. Harris, who is marine hardware merchant of Ketchikan, returned home on the Aomlrai Rogers Saturday evening.

REGARDING
 BROWN BEAR
Special cablegram to sentineD

Special eablegram to Sentinel)
 JUNEAU, Nov. 1l.-In order not to stand in the way of an increas- ing industrial development in many parts of Alaska and to correct a misunderstanding of present regu- lations that has existed in the minds of many residents of the ter ritory, the Alaska Game Commis- sion, after much study and deliber- ation has recommended a modifica- tion of existing regulations to be effective July l, 1880, on the sea- sons and bag limits of large brown grizzly and black bears.
 The recommended notifications of the regulations on large brown or grizzly bears are as follows: for residents. no closed season or bag limit except in the following de- seribed areas where the season shall be September 1 to June 20, and the bag limit two in the aggre- gate: The Alaska Peninsula, the area draining to Cook Inlet from the west, the area between the Der ing River and the west side of Yakutat Bay, the area between the Alsek River and the west side of Glacier Bay and the following named islands-Shuyak, Montague, Hinchinbrook and Hawkins. How ever, in these areas a resident may kill a large brown or grizzly bear at any time or place when such an- imal is about to attack or molest persons or property.
 The regulations for nonresidents is as follows; September l to June 20, throughout the territory (the same as heretofore) with a bag limit of two in the aggregate.
 The black bear has had a marked increase in certain sections of the territory. They have been proved to be the cause of much destruction of calves of moose and caribou. These animals are becoming a nui- sance also to trappers, traders and and travellers. It has been recom- mended that the season and bag limit on black bear be removed and that they may be taken by anyone in a lawful manner throughout the territory.

In supplementary statement, President Chase outlined his per sonal views on the matter. He said:
 Residents of the territory should be permitted to kill such animals as the big brown and grizzly bears at any time and place, if in their opinion, they are a menace to eith- CT persons or property.
 Protected areas with bag limits for non residents and residents should be set aside. These should include the Alaska Peninsula and other specified districts when such protection would not interfere with commercial activitl>s. This, that the species may not be exterminat- ed. Under no circumstances should an inexperienced person go into the hills alone to hunt bear of any species.
 People who are not familiar with the habits and character of the brown and grizzly bears should never shoot at these animals unless they are absolutely sure they have the nerve to stand up under the charge of a wounded animal.
 These animals are extremely dangerous when wounded, should they decide to charge the hunter. But in nearly all cases tiey will es- cape if possible. It is co be regret ted that people he been injured and killed by bear. But investiga- tions have proven beyond doubt that in the great majority of such cases the victim has been the ag- gressor.
 q cannot believe the people of Alaska would tolerate any move ment to exterminate the great brown bear. It is a most valuable asset as well as the last of the large carnivora existent upon the earth today.
 "The propaganda that Is being fostered to place a bounty on the brown bear is serious mistake. It would be much wiser to provide money to employ trained predatory animal hunters to carry on such work. Should the bear or any other animal, mammal, bird or fish, be- come a menace. the situation could be handled officially by men train ed for this service, and under direct and specific orders from authorized authority"

By w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 Q.N.sO-
Returning confidence in security
values and the definite waning of
the hysteria which has held large
portion of the countrys investors
in its grip for a week or more was
plainly evident in the first hour Of
trading today.
Beginning the day with gains of
I to points a number of the ac-
tive industrial and railroad shares
pushed ahead brilliantly in this
period. Extra cash dividends for
stockholders Of United States Steel
and American Can companies were
accepted as evidence of the conf
dence Of big business leaders in
the immediate future of American
business and it's ability to survive
the terrific shock of falling prices
sustained in the last two weeks.
Transactions in the first half
hour were close to 100000 shares,
an unusually heavy total, but 20
per cent less than in the same
period yesterday. Sharp advances
recorded in transactions Of a few
hundred shares showed that stocks
were not plentiful at the prices
appearing on the tape.
The come back of the utility
stocks was encourag ging to the bulls
who have purchased their favorite
shares at considerably above cur
rent prices. National Power and
Light, one Of the active low-priced
utilities, moved up points to 331a,
utility group rallied from to s
points in a heavy turnover.
Though month-end calling of
loans was in good volume there
were plenty Of funds for the stock
market at 6 per cent. 1t is almost
a certainty the directors of the Re
serve Bank of New York will order
a reduction in the rediscount rate
to per cent at their weekly meet
ing tomorrow, as high as 1000, ,000,.
600 has been estimated as the vol.
un1e of shrinkage in brokers' loans
this week.
United States Steel was bid up to
1855 in the second hour, a gain of
IL points from the previous close
and 20 points from yesterdays low
price.

SCHOOL SYSTEM
CHANGE SEEN

The Bureau of Education and the
Bureau of Efficiency will cooperate
in determining the advisibility Of
the introduction into Washington
schools of the platoon system in re-
placement OF the present method of
study, it was indicated today in a
report to he made to the Board of
Education at its meeting next week
by DR.. Charles F. Carusi, chairman
OF the board.
DIR. Carusi was authorized re-
Gently by the board TO ask the Bu-
reau Of Education to make a survey
of the Parkview School. where the
platoon system is now established
as an experiment, and to decide
whether it was organized to the
best advantage.
DR.. Carusi today stated that the
bureau officials declared they were
well equipped to investigate condl-
tiOns at Parkview and were willing
to cooperate with the Bureau OF
Efficiency, which will make its
survey from an economic stand
point.
The investigat ton may mark the
first step in the abolition of the pres
ent system of the study in the DlS-
trict schools, by which one teacher
teaches her class in all subjects in
the elementary grades. In the new
method a teacher is employed 10
teach one subject only.
Park View School was the scene
Of recent controversy when officials
attempted to transfer 5S pupils TO
Monroe School, where the old sYs'
tenn is in effect. Parents then de.
clared the new method much more
effective and ased their plea for re
instatement Of their children on the
grounds that the platoon system is
better means of education.
The request for investigation was
made by DIR. Frank w. Ballou in
answer to reported criticism that he
was prejudiced against the platoon
system, a charge which he dnied.
