the Alaska Railroad for some time met with a terrible accident at Healy few days ago as result of having been caught beneath moving car, according to the Anchorage Times. One leg was cut off and the other leg was severed near the knee.
 The injured man was rushed to the Fairbanks hospital, and it is under stood that his condition is critical
 There Is a scarcity of fur bearers along the railroad north of Curry at the present, according to Victor Crison, we'll known oldtimer of the interior, who has a trapline in the vicinity of Hurricane this winter.
 Talking to the Anchorage Times man, Mr. Erison states that the scar city of fur at the present time in the. district nnrth of Curry is attributed by him to the mild weather, the sea- son being all of month behind that of last year. With the larger streams still open 4and feed plentiful there, comparatively few of the fur bearers have migrated to the winter feeding grounds along the railroad.
 Conditions will, be better as soon as cold weather comes, in the opinion of Crison- There are plenty of rabbits along the railroad as far north as Broad Pass, and they are bound to attract the fur-bearers when forag- ing becomes difficult along the streams. The rabbits are fully as numerous as they were last winter in that section and they are perfectly healthy.
 It will require lot of fur to fill the traps which are scattered along the railroad, the oldtime says. There are IS trappers .camped between Gnu litna and Hurricane, a. distance of about eight miles, the number includ- ing two women. They are all await ing the coming of the fur bearers and
 
 there will be a lively scramble when the season really opens.
 Trappers in the Wasilla district are meeting with encouraging results in their campaign against the predatory animal menace, three coyotes having been lured into the traps of Wasilla residents recently. J. McNeil, Greit Snider and E. Soper each caught one coyote, and Vic Blodgett, owner of the Mead0wbrook fur farm at Pitt man, also reports having landed one of the animals in his traps.
 Snider recently captured two foxes on his trap line, a red and cross. With the aid of Mrs. Snider he was able to take them out of the traps alive, and now he has ther in pens at his mink farm at Wasilla.

EDUCATION BUREAUS
NAME is CHANGED
Office of Education Is New De-
scription as Announced
by Wilbur.

Secretary Of Interior Wilbur an
rounced yesterday the Bureau OF Edu-
cation henceforth will be known as the
Once of Education.
This action, he explained, was mott
yated by two considerations. First. the
legislation creating that body styled it
fhe once of Education. Second, Mr..
Wilbur said he believed the new title
described its work more accurately.
The move was seen by observers to
be in line with Mr. Wilbur's announced
opposition to increasing the Govern
nent's administrative control of educa-
ton. Recently he issued a public
statement opposing the creation of
Federal department of education, advo-
Gated by number of educational asso-
Citations and at least one strong ma
tional fraternal order.
Wilbur stated Federal control of edu-
cation was Numerically opposed to the
principles of the founding fathers"
who purposely delegated this function
to the States. He said the true func-
ton of the Federal Government in this
field was to act as a research agent to
gather information on educational
policies and experiments throughout
the world and pass them on to the
Nations educations.
I'm serving the purpose for which 1t
was established" Wilbur said yester-
Gay. 1.-THE ONCE of Education is a re-
search and not an administrative
agency. 1t should, as far as possible,
divest itself of its administrative func-
lions and give itself increasingly to
the compilation of information and to
studies of the problems OF education"

The New York syndicate has been
trying to gain control of the com
pany for almo.- a year. Pearson
astounded local stock traders by
buying a block of the gas com
pany stock for 1925 share, the
highest price it had reached then.
In January of this year, Pearson
obtained 1000 shares from the
estate of the late Mary Letter.
Again Pearson paid 1925 share,
which was above current market
quotations.
The new owners of the company
are now ready to buy up all out
standing shares of the stock at S125
a share, Preston said.
The passing of control of the
company will undoubtedly result in
a new board of directors, Preston
said. He plans to continue in Of

MERCURY RUNS
RIOT AGAIN

Mercury in the city's thermome-
tiers today was running dead heat
with yesterday. Nevertheless.
though virtually tie, it was a hot
contest.
At 11:30 a. m. today the Weather
Bureau recorded a temperature of
SIS degrees, virtually the same as was
shown at the same time yesterday.
Today also, strange to say, the bu-
reau's thermometers were keeping
pace with that in the kiosk on Penn.
sylvania Avenue.
Forecasters at the bureau are
pessimistic as to possibilities for any
definite relief from the heat. They
expect it to grow warmer as the day
grows. Tomorrow, they say, it may
possibly be just a bit cooler.
BY Q a. m. the temperature regis.
tered on the official Weather Bureau
Thermometers at the bureau was 70,
a rise OF almost 10 degrees In three
hours. According to Weather Blu.
reau experts. the mercury at that
time was just getting into climbing
trim and would continue its upward
movement for many degrees.
The heat of yesterday afternoon,
which reached high point of 90
degrees, affected two persons here.

GRIFF To AVOID
CRACKER ROW
staff Photo

Although Clark Griffith, of the
washington ball club, was not prone
to discuss the matter at all today,
he did reveal the thought behind
his withdrawal from the deal which
was to eliminate in the taking over
OF the Atlanta Crackers at s o'clock
tonight.
President Martin. of the South
ern. Association, practically told Sec
rotary Eddie Eynon over the teie-
phone in Atlanta yesterday that the
Southern League does not want any
major league owning one of its
member clubs.
He also said there il a rule
In the Southern loop prohibiting
the sale of a club 10 any major
league club without the consent
Of three.fourths of the member
clubs Of the Southern AssOcia-
ton.
Whether that is true or whether,
as Mr.. Spilisr seems to claim in
interviews today. the rule merely
relates to election to the Southern
Association board OF directors, will

ern Association rules.
'If we cannot buy into At
lanta with a welcome, we will
not buy at ALL" was Griffith's
final word.
Apparently Griffith would not
take the Atlanta club even IL he
finds the three-qnarter vote only
affects the presence of the Atlanta
representative on the board of di.
rectors. for his view is that with
no representation on the board. that
body could order him to vacate his
franchise il 1t saw fit. thereby leav.
ing him with a useless property
on his hands.
ATLANTA, June IA 0.N.SJ.-
Despite the pronouncement of Clark
Griffith, president Of the Washing.
ton Baseball Club, who last week
bought the Atlanta Southern League
franchise and deposited $1,000 to
secure a. binder, that he would re-
nounce his purchase. r. j. Spiller,
owner of the Crackers, declared the
deal could not be terminated and
that he would deliver. the club to
Griffith legally" at p. m. today.
II it goes unaccepted. he declared
emphatically, be will take the mat
ter to court. Griffith gave as his
reason for the rejection Of the
franchise that the Southern Asso-
citation requires three-fourths vote
of the directorate for permission to
transfer club, and contends that
no such vote was taken on the sale
OF the Atlanta club. and that SpilIer
had sold something he couldn't de,
liver.
There's no such league rule, "
Spiller said. There is one re.
quiring a three-fourths vote to
elect to the board of directors, but
none restricting the sale of any
club"
