set aside and suspend the rules and regulations relating to trapping of furs in the Terri tory of Alaska for the season 1931-32. Reference is made to the issued regulations, which reveal that trappers are allow ed only sixty days in which to take fox, lynx, weasel and land otter, and that the taking of marten and beaver is prohib., tied. It is contended that under these restrictions it will be inn possible for profitable trap ping to continue, and particu- larly when so many people are unemployed and who naturally turn to trapping for the neces- sites of life. The contention upon the part of the Biological Survey that the region embrac- ed within the zone of the As sociation is being depleted of beaver, is refuted by the As sociation and the fact pointed to that natural protection is given by many large streams, lakes and swamps, and the wide area of their distribution. It is further set forth that it might be of interest to the President and Dr. Reddington to know the type of citizen who turns to the trapline dur ing the long winters when all other avenues of earning a living are closed. The Associa- tion numbers many young men, veterans of the World War, with families, who have created comfortable, if crude homes, at distances from 50 to 100 miles from business settle ments. They have raised gar dens, possess radios, books, magazines, and such refine ments as their meagre incomes will allow. The President has referred the matter for the consideration of the officials of the Department of Agricul- ture.

Walker has a broad vision of the possibilities of the great Northland and is a tireless worker in aid of the develop ment of that territory. He has been of incalculable assistance to Secretary Wilbur and other members of the Interior De- partment, who are concerned in the development of Alaska.
 Hon. Frederic c. Wolcott, U. s. Senator from Connecticut, who is chairman of the special committee on Wild Life Re- sourses, and who is now tour ing Alaska, wired Delegate Wickersham from Juneau that he would be glad to meet with the fur farmers in the neighborhood of Anchorage about July 27th, and that he would so inform the Chamber of Commerce of that town, so that the farmers may be prop erly notified. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas, who had expected to accompany Senator Walcott's party, is now hoping to arrange his af- fairs so that he might sail from Seattle on July IS and join the party at Seward a week later.
 The members and officers of the Cook Inlet Trappers Fur and Game Protective Associat- ion, Anchorage, have sought the efforts of the Delegate to try to prevail upon President Hooverto. by executive order.

MINIATURE LAKE

Street Corner Fishing Puts
PeeWee Golf Behind.

BIZ Scripp8-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
LOS ANGELES, May 2.-Last
year it was miniature golf. This
year Los Angeles offers something
new.
Vacant lots in this city are being
converted into trout streams and
lakes for the amusement of its
masculine population young and old
For twenty-five cents you may
rent a rod and all other necessary

content. If you catch trout it is
yours.
Some Of the trout streams are
most decorative, with miniature
waterfalls included in their course.
They take up no more room than
miniature golf and seem Just as
popular.
The only trouble is that the trout
soon become wise to urban ways
and urban menaces and are ex-
tremely difficult to catch. That is
probably what makes the trout

Gem MERCHANT
IS SHOT DOWN.;
GANG HUNTED
Finding of Body and Two
More Jewel RobberieS
Stir New York.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, May 2.-The killing
of well-known diamond merchant
and two more daring jewel robberies
which totaled nearly $4,000, sent
city and state police on a wide
search today for the band of jewel
thieves who have been operating in
New York recently.
The body of Abraham Levy, who
disappeared mysteriously on Feb. a.
with $4,000 in gems, was recovered
from Long Island sound, near the
estate Of the late Marcus Loew,
theater magnate. The body had
been pierced by five bullets, and
loops of wire were knotted around
the neck, hands and legs.
Identification was made several
hours after the body had been re-
covered by Jack Block, boatman.
Detectives expressed the opinion
robbers had forced Levy into their
automobile, robbed him and then
threw his body into the water after
strangling and shooting him to
death. Block will receive 81 900 re-
ward offered for recovery of Levy's
body.
While police were seeking the
identity of Levy Friday. two we'll
dressed thieves walked into the
apartment of Robert r. Livingston
in the Riverside drive section and
robbed Mrs. Livingston and wom-
an caller Of jewels valued at $500.
The thieves gained entrance to
the building on the pretext Of hav-
ing brokerage business with Living
ston. When Mrs. Livingston in
formed them her husband was too
i'll to see any one, they drew re-
volvers and ordered her to hand
over her jewelry.
Another huge gem robbery in the
exclusive Central park section was
revealed when Mrs. Florence E.
Garfield informed police that bur-
glars had forced an entrance to
her home last Thursday night and
stolen jewels worth $4,000.

BUSINESS MEN
DODGE ISSUES
OF IMPORTANCE
C. of c. Ends Its Session
With Nothing Done on
Crucial Matters.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, May 1.-THE
United States Chamber of Com
merce left here today with mass
Of good intentions, vocally expressed,
to do something about the unem-
ployment problem, but with no con-
crete and definite proposal as a
basis for action.
All that stood on the record after
the three-day sessions, in which
unemployment was one of the chief
considerations, was a resolution in
dorsing a study already begun two
months ago by special committee
into "the possibilities of business
and employment sterilization"
The members went away with a
warning of Julius Barnes, chair
man of the organizations board of
directors, against any deceptive
legislative panaceas," which was
taken to refer to some of the pro-
posals for state unemployment in
surarce and other advanced meas
ures which crept into the various
sessions.
Ignore Wage Cut Fight
The vociferous applause that
Numbered through the great ball
room of one of Atlantic City's big
boardwalk hotels at, the conclusion
Of his speech indicated general
agreement with his philippe against
government interference with in
dustry in any way, in meeting it's
unemployment problem as in han
ding others.
The most effective warming
seemed to be that of several advo-
Gates of unemployment benefit
plans who told the business men
that unless they do something
themselves they are bound to have
state unemployment insurance laws,
framed by others, forced upon them.
The chamber completely ignored
the wage cut controversy that rolled
up to its very doors and was the
subject of talk in the corridors of
the auditorium where the meeting
was held and in the hotel Hobbies
between sessions.
The chamber seemed to be tirnid
about taking positive stand on
many of the issues discussed in the
twenty-five resolutions adopted, ex-
cept for strong declaration against
a tax increase, against government
interference with business and on
some relatively important matters.
Shy on Tariff Discussion
Revision of the antitrust laws
was urged by several speakers who
are intimately familiar with the
subject, but the chamber merely
recommended that, if the board of
directors approved, a study be made
Of the various proposals submitted.
AS regards the threat of Soviet
Russia dumping" which some bust
ness men here seemed to take very
seriously, the. chamber recommend
ed That if present provisions of the
tariff laws were not effective con-
gresS enact others.
The chamber SHE'D completely
away from the tariff, though an oc-
casional speaker was bold enough
to hint that the Hawley-Smoot
rates might be too high. It did
urge a study of the depressed sill
yer market by a special committee,
but took no position on the pro-
posal for an international confer
ence.
Silas H. strawn, Chicago attor-
ney, was elected president by the
board of directors, succeeding Viii
liam Butterworth of washington.
The term is for one year.
Julius H. Barnes was reelected
chairman of the board, and Oscar
Wells Of Birmingham, treasurer.

Mr.. Fixit-There are number Of
chuck holes on Mclean place be-
TWEEN Boulevard place and Capitol
avenue. Two loads of gravel or
cinders would put it in good shape.
A TAXPAYER.
Street Commissioner w. H. Winship
has promised to act on this complaint
as soon as possible.
Dear Mr.. Fixit-A lot in the 500
block Bell street is piled with broken
tile and rubbish of all kinds. 1t is
an eyesore and also a menace to
health, because of rats and
mosquitoes. A good garden would
look much better than this pile of
rubbish. The old sheds are a fire
menace as boys go in there and
smoke cigarets. r. E.
The board of health has obtained
promise from the sanitary board the lot
will be cleaned at once. health board
officer also notified tenants near this
lot to stop putting trash on the lot.
The old sheds were reported to the fire
prevention department.
Mr.. Fixit-Could you induce the
city to collect ashes and garbage
from Hillside avenue below Twenty
fifth street? The city never has
collected ashes in this street south
Of Twenty-t1fth, to my knowledge.
The street is improved. LIB.
This has been referred to Truly NoIon,

for investigation and action.
Mr.. Fixit-Just below the eleYa-
ton on South Senate avenue are a
lot OF old boilers on the sidewalk,
making it hard to pass. Hope you
can remedy this condition.
This has been referred to City En-
gineer A. H. Moore for investigation.
Mr.. Fixit-In the 400 block North
Adelaide street are holes in the
street and water stands there when
it rains,. about fifty feet north of
Vermont street and on to Michigan
street. i'm. G. "
City Engineer A. H. Moore has ordered
Investigation Of conditions referred to.
Mr.. Fidt-Please try to have a
bad hole, in front of a hardware
store at 2758 Roosevelt avenue, re-
paired. O.
The complaint has been referred to
City Engineer A. H. Moore, who said
street repair crews will fix the hole
within few weeks.
Because Of the number Of breaks in
streets in the city. il Is necessary to take
one section Of the city at a time, rather
than to move the necessary repair equip
ment from spot to spot in the city. which
would be expensive and unsatisfactory,
Moore said. For this reason. the break
can not be fixed at once. but will be
cared for rs soon as possible.
Mr.. Fixit-Please see what can be
done about the trash and garbage
cans that are left continuously In
East Eleventh street in the vicinity
of Butler street.
