M'k|NLEY BROWN BEAR
 SAID bE CANN|bALIsT|C

MCKINLEY PARK, Oct. 5. (Spe- cial to The Gateway U Are the large brown grizzly bears in Alaska cannibals? Or may the great grizz- lies and black bears come from un- related prehistoric animals that we do not now know?
 Recently two unsuccessful noun tain sheep hunters were coming back to camp down a small valley. High up on the side of the hill a big brownie was spied. They tied in with their smoke wagons, and after squirting the regulation amount of lead, the brownie rolled almost into the little creek.
 After removing his parka, one of the hunters climbed up to see what had been taking the bears atten- tion when they interrupted.
 He found the snow, moss and shrubs had been violently torn up over large patch of ground. Also found hair, blood, bones and feet |of medium sized black bear. Ap- parently black bears are first to hole in, and the brownie had found it's den and dug it out.
 Signs indicated that the black, while hopelessly out-classed in size, didn't have any rabbits blood in it's feet. The brownie was just thru lunch when the two hunters came up. The black bears feet were brought in as proof of the story.

BEETLES CORRESPONDENT
 WRITES INTERIOR MINING

A Gateway correspondent at Bet

 Arriving at Bettles, I learned that about $l8,002 had been taken
 out in the winter on Hammond River, Jim Pup, Twelve Mile and Nolan Creek, and operations would be resumed this winter.
 Water has been low in the dis trict until now. Fall rains started July 28 and everybody is now busy.
 Conditions are about the same in the Wild River district, on ac- count of grub being too high and also scarce; only 12 in all are on Spring and Summit Greeks and some work is being done on Lake Creek. Prospects are satisfactory but no money has been taken out yet"

at the Woodland station in the
Bronx today, careened across the

First reports said at least one
man was killed in the wreck but
according to police information,
there were no fatalities. Injured
numbered at least 20.
The passenger train was patron

their seats as the coach careened
crafty over the tracks. The car
was so badly damaged that some
had to be pulled out of the debris.
Commuters on the platform of

SACRAMENTO June l6. U.P)-
Leaders in the fight to free Tom
Mooney, San Francisco labor leader
convicted Of completely in the 1916
bombing outrage, prepared today
for a hearing June % before Gov
ernor James Rolph Jr.. at which
Attorney Frank Walsh will argue a
new pardon application.
Walsh, who has served volun-
tarily as Moneys counsel in the
many years he has sought freedom,
is scheduled to leave his New York
offices for Sacramento June %,
frankly hopeful OF sympathetic
hearing from California'S new gov
ernor.
BY q coincidence, Governor Rolph
was mayor of San Francisco at the
time Preparedness day parade was
bombed and 10 persons were killed.
Mooney and Warren K. Billings
we're convicted of murder in con-
nection with the outrage and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment, Bill
ings going to Folsom prison be-
cause of previous felony convic-
ton.
Walsh and other Mooney defense
workers hoped for an attitude on
the part of Governor Rolph differ
ent from that of his predecessor,
Governor c. c. Young, who held
that the cases of the two men para
lelled and that one could not be
freed without the other.

PRISON DOCTOR
URGES ADOPTION
OF LETHAL GAS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 16.
(U.R)-Dr L. L. Stunley, prison ply
sician of San Quentin State Prison,
was on record today in favor of the
lethal gas chamber instead of the
galloWS for the execution of con-
demned murdererS.
DR.. j. M. Toner, director of the
state department of institutions, af-
ter examining DR.. Stanley's report
to Governor Rolph, declared that
he, too, was in favor of the new
plan.
DR.. Stanley, who has officiated
at more than 100 hangings, urged
as a still more humane method of
removing the condemned men from
society that they be given a sleep
ing portion" so they would fall into
a sound sleep shortly before the
deadly gas is turned into their
room.
Still another endorsement o
lethal gas as a substitute for hang
ing was contained in a report by
D. B. Castle, San Francisco gas eX-
pert, filed with Governor Rolph by
Warden j. B. Holohan, San Quen-
tin prison, who is also in favor Of
the gas method.

MAN SLAIN IN
QUARREL OVER
BEER BUSINESS

DAGGETT, Cal, June l6. W.P) -
Wanted in connection with the mur-
der of Jack O'Brien, 50-year-old
Nevada prospector, John Hall. So,
was captured here early today as
ne fled toward the California boun-
dairy with his wife.
According to Sheriff Joe Beate, OF
Las Vegas, Hall shot and killed his
partner in an alleged beer racket
shortly before midnight yesterday
and with the aid of his wife brutally
attacked Mrs. O'Brien and her
daughter Lillian, age l6.
The crime occurred a short dis
tance from the Fox ranch near Las
Vegas. according to Sheriff Beate.
First word of the murder and at
tack was brought into Las Vegas
by Lillian O'Brien, who managed
to escape with only slight injuries.
She told Sheriff Beate that her
father and mother set out from the
Fox ranch with her and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hall for Las Vegas in an auto
mobile and that when only a short
distance from the ranch Hall killed
her father.
The OBriens were sitting in the
front seat, according to Miss
O'Brien's story Hall fired five bull
lets into her father and then Mrs.
Hall held Mrs. O'Brien by the hair
while Hall beat her unconscious
with the butt of his revolver. Lillian
told Sheriff Beate that Hall struck
her once with the gun but that she
jumped from the car and escaped.
The body of O'Brien and his wife
were thrown from the car and Hal
attempted to make his escape in the
stolen machine, the sheriff said.
According to the girl, Hall and
O'Brien had been arguing over a
sum of money. Hall claimed that
S70O they had received in connection
with their alleged beer racket mad
been hidden by OBrien. The VIC
tim of the assault had claimed he
knew nothing about the money, the
sheriff said.
Hall is to be charged with first
degree murder on his arrival in Las
Vegas. Mrs. Hall has been placed
under arrest but authorities said
they were undecided about what
charge to bring against her.
Mrs. O'Brien was taken to a Las
Vegas hospital where it was report
ed she would recover.

PUBLIC'S APATHY
TOWARDS HOOVER
PUZZLES FRIENDS
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

ABOARD PR E SIDEN TIAI l.,
TRAIN, Enroute to Marion, Ohio,
June 16 UP)-President Hoover'S
first speaking tour pointing toward
the presidential election has met
with a mixed reception, in the OPT
Mon of those travelling in his party
today.
While the 5000 at the Republican
chicken dinner in Indianapolis last
night were more enthusiastic than
any audience he has addressed since
before he became President, there
was again, as he drove through the
city preparatory to leaving for Ma
rion, Ohio, today the same apathy
and lack of demonstration expert
enced on his arrival yesterday.
Few persons were up to see Mr.
Hoover depart, although his sched-
ule was widely published Persons
on the curbs lifted their hats re-
spectfully, and occasionally was
there a cheer or friendly shout. The
reaction of the street crowds in con-
trast to that of the Republicans at
the dinner was subject of consid-
erable discussion on the presiden-
| tial train.
| Defenders of the President held
it was no indication of lack of sup
port any more than the terrific de-
monstrations received in 1928 by
Governor Alfred Smith indicated
victorious votes. However, some
eminent Indiana Republicans were
being quoted privately as holding
serious fears for the state in the
coming election.
Preparations are being made for
one of the hardest fights ever
staged, which may involve a re-
election battle by Senator James E.
Watson, Republican senate leader
such as he never experienced.

FORMER BOSTON
MAYOR LINKED
In GIRLS DEATH

NEW YORK, June 16. U.P)-For-
merly Mayor Andrew J. Peters of
Boston, whose name has myster-
iously cropped up in the investiga-
ton of the death of Starr Faithful
let it be known today that he would
gladly cooperate with District At
torney Elvin Edwards of Nassau
county if he knew anything of
value.
But. according to his friends, At
torney Alexander Whiteside from
whom the announcement came,
Peters knew nothing that would aid
in solving the mystery of how the
girl, sort of Jekyll-Hyde personality
came to be washed ashore at Long
Beach, L. l., in r1uIsed state and
with veronal in her body.
Whiteside supplemented Peters
announcement with a denial there
ever had been improprieties on
Peters part toward the girl.
Meantime, District Attorney Ed
wards tried to locate a man listed
as Jack Greenaway and another a
Bruce Winston.
Starr mentioned their names af-
ter attending party two days be-
fore her disappearance. Greena-
way, it was suggested, was a former
actor, and her father said he had
been told by the authorities that
Winston is a well-to-do man who

Governor Opposes
Airplane Purchase

SACRAMENTO, June 16. U.P -
Governor James Rolph is flatly op-
posed to the idea of soliciting funds
to buy him an airplane by a house
toulouse canvass.
He SO indicated here last night
declaring he was out of sympathy
with a movement reputed to be
backed by the American Legion in
Oakland, to obtain funds to buy
the governor an airplane by popu-
lar subscription.
Although I appreciate the kind
thoughts behind such a move, soli-
citation of funds is entirely without
my authority" he said.
Il have never expressed a wish
that a plane be purchased for me,
he declared, adding reflectively
since the senate turned down Roy
Bishops bill providing $4,000 for
such purchase.
