He believes Sharkey is good enough to rcpel all attempts to take the heavyweight title out of this country, but he hints that if the sailor fails, he Dempsey may try another come back. T still feel" says Jack, that even with my long absence from ring competition. I could give a good account of myself with any of the present crop of heavyweights.

Prohibition Commissioner Doran be- cause Of the congested condition Of the federal courts
 The biggest problem right now that confronts the federal govern ment in the enforcement of this law" Doran told the house appro- priation committee, lis the congest- cd condition of the federal courts. ''
 The committee approved the com missioner's request and set the fig ure at 15,00O,00O.
 Asserting that the Jones law en- acted last year providing for prison sentences of five years and fines up to $l0,000 for liquor convictions had brought about better enforcement conditions. Doran said. Take it with the known drop in smuggling l say the situation is improvinG."
 Law Has Had Effect
 Undoubtedly the Jones law had a great effect" he said, adding that 1t had driven thousands of the small ~ CT operators manufacturers. runners and retail dealers out Of business and decreased arrests from 75,0OO in 1928 10 67.O00 in 1929.
 "Wc could make a 50 per cent m- crease in the number of persoLs ar rested" Doran continued, but un- der the present conditions it would merely congest the courts stin fur thcr. and further CompliCate the situation. It does seem to me that any policy that would increase the number of federal officers who have arresting powers must necessarily take in the question of adequate court facilities, in order promptly 10 try cases.' He said that f q prompt trial is not secured 'your case gets cold.' and added that there is no class of cases that get colder than a prohibition case"
 Names Congestcd states DoIa an said that congestion Of ,h,, courts was greatest in New York. New Jersey, Northern Illinois. Pitts bursh and Philadelphia. Enforce ment conditions at Detroit, he sad had improved about 50 per cent fol- lowing an increase in activities of the coast guard and prohibition agents. but added that it was "stiiI a difficult problem" there.
 Besides Wisconsin. which has vo:, ed against the dry law. Doran said New York. Montana. Nevada and Maryland were not assisting the fed | oral government in enforcing prohi, hition.

A typographical error in Circu- lar N, issued by the Alaska Game Commission supplementing it's curl rent regulations on the taking of fur bearing animals threatened to cause disaster to beaver colonies
 on the areas opened to beaver trapping, it was made known from the Juneau headquarters of the Alaska Game Commission, says Juneau Empire. Corrected circulars have been mailed to licensed trap pers, licensing officers, Wardens and other representatives of the Commission to ffset the mistake.
 As printed by the Federal Gov- ernment printing office, the cir cular read: Beaver may be taken only by the use of steel traps NOT more than 25 feet from any bea- yer house or den." It should have said. Beaver may be taken only by the use of steel traps more than 25 feet from any beaver house or
