GELLES WANTS BEAR
 FOR HUNTERS

Gus Gelles who wanted the electors to send him to the Re- publican national conventions at Kansas City last summer spaak- ing before the last legislature told of plans for big game hunting in the westward sec tions where he is a member of the Alaska Guides, Invorporat- ed and said that If the Alas ka legislature will leave the brown bear alone, the Alaska Guides will take care of the ex- termination of the beasts"
 The idea is a mighty good one for the Alaska Gui res Inc, but not So good for tha people of this section who, in some districts, dare not go out of sight of the canneries for fear of being bumped off by the pets of the biological survey.

Allan Named As
 Official Timer

A letter to the Commercial Club from the Seattle Yacht Club advises that Robert Allen has been appointed by the off, cials of the Club to act as off, cial timer here in Petersburg. He will advise the captains of the yachts arriving here the time of their departure and in every other way represent the Yacht Club.
 The rules this year make this port the official stopping place where the vessels may stop and take out the allotted rest periods in one lump if they do not choose to do so enroute. Prac- tically speaking, the race will have been won at this port in stead of at Juneau.
 Another change made in the rules this year is that all boats are to leave on the scratch line together. The handicaps are worked out so that handicap time can be worked out here.
 Territorial Auditor Cash Coles yacht t1Ae Jazz of Juneau went south recently to enter the race His family followed on a steamer but will return with him. Governor George A. Parks who recently went to Seattle has indicated that he will return with Auditor Cole as chief bo's'n 50 that between them they should have sufficient pull to get over the line with the front rank.

Agitate Traps for B. (,

Disc0unting t1Ae fishermen $ pleas for conservation of sal mon, Al Hager, representing the Canadian Fisheries, Ltd, told Judge J. N. Ellis during the clos ing session yesterday of the in vestigation regarding salm o n traps that the logical thing is to allow salmon traps on Canadi- an shores as long as traps ex- ist in Alaska waters.
 Hager said that if Alaskan traps were removed runs would quickly increase but said it was hopeless to expect that the Alas kan traps ever will be abolished. Therefore, he said, the only fair thing to the Canadian canners is to grant them equal privileges witla those enjoyed by American interests.
 Judge Ellis will present the result of the inquiry to the Ca nadian government.

New York, Oct. 1O.-In a long list

Jack Lee. to all intents and our

In a seat. He never gets to utter a
line. for the opus III which he appears
IS a mystery play and he passes from
life In the first few minutes after the
curtains rise. The presumption Is
that he has been e~lectrocuted while
riding in a subway train.
Thereafter he becomes the center
Of attention. both to players and
audience. He Is poked by detectives
and examined by doctors: he is lifted
BY policemen and sat down again
al the while he must appear as
though frozen stiff by the electric
shock.
How he does It. no one on Broadway
has yet discovered.
When, finally, he Is carried off
stage . few seconds before the cur
tain falls on the solution, he is nightly
rewarded with applause such as is re-
cetved BY no actor who has remained

Il Is. perhaps, the first time in
drama annals that a corpse has

There arc times when 100 invita-

stays over after a premiere. Early on
the morning following the production
OF one of his plays. this theater man
demands that his employee read him
all the critical reviews over the long

It SO happens that the last several
dramas have been greeted with little
favor. and since the producer is given
to stormy outbursts when criticism is
unfavorable, the poor fellow who
reads him the bad news must prepare
to spend an uncomfortable morning
and then account for a telephone bill
