One Heavenly Night and Canine Front to Give
 Way to Cat Creeps'

One Heavensy sSigllt' and So Quiet on the Canine Front" will be presented for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theatre. The Cat Creeps" will be the head line attraction on the new program tomorrow night.
 "One Heavenly Night" stars Evelyn Lave, John Boles and Leon Errol. It is romantic comedy with music, but there are no choruses, no pallets. no ensembles, nothing but vivid realism in the pictures reproduction of the cafe life of Budapest, where laws bow to romance, where sentimental dilly- -dallying has all the dignity of a national sport. where cafe brawls are as readily accepted as an April shower, and of Hungar- ian country life, with people liv- ing and fighting and drinking and hunting as they did in the days of the Third Crusade. This is the background of the delightful photo play.

BEAVER PELTS
 WORTH S1'0,000 HAVE NO OWNER
Nobody Anxious to Claim Skins So Government
 Will Sell Them

For the ownership of 1,017 beaver belts, worth from $8 to $10 each there are no claimants, so the gov- ernment, which has possession of the skins, plans to sell them and the proceeds will be turned into the public treasury.
 The belts. obtained contrary to law in Alaska, were seized on their arrival in Seattle last October and in connection with the seizure Koslosky and Capt. Carl Ander- son, master of the steamer Starr residents of Anchorage and Sew ard, were arrested on the charge of conspiring to violate the Alas ka game regulations. 7 Lasted Four Days After trial of four days before the United States District Court in Anchorage recently, Koslosky and Anderson were acquitted. Their &C., quittal however, does not imply that anyone can safely claim the pelts. Any person making and sub stantiating such a claim would be accused and arrested of illegal pos session of the skins. So the govern ment is confident of retain ng them.
 Witnesses Return Home M. s. Sides, deputy Collector oi Customs here; P. H. Peters of the Customs House in Seattle, and H w. Terhune, executive officer oi the Alaska Game Commission, were witnesses for the government at the trial in Anchorage. They came south on the steamship Alas ka, MT. Sides and MT. Terhune get ting off the vessel here and MT Peters continuing aboard of her to Seattle.
 ''The trial was expensive" de- clared MT Sides, but all the ex- pense and additional loss, besides must be borne by the owner ol owners of the pelts After defray- ing costs of litigation, the govern ment will net a nice profit from the sale of the unclaimed skins"

STOCK MARKET IS BOOSTED BY

NEW YORK, May 2l.-For the third successive day. the Stock Mar ket was bolstered up by an im- poved tone of rail issues.
 Selling flurries continued to sweep through the market but having little effect on the bulk of the prominent issues.
 Small early steel losses and Am erican Telegraph and Telephone Company and American Can drops were replaced by gains of one point or two.
 General Electric and Anaconda sagged to new lows. The former recovered but copper issues gener- ally worked lower.
 Rails improved from Tuesdays prices after eight sessions of steady decline. This is attributed to com pletion of liquidation and unof- ficial reports of progress of plans to restore earning power and pro- tect their credits. M

NEW YORK, May 21.-Sales of copper, at eight and three quarters cents a pound, the lowest on rec ord, are reported.
 The price represents a recession of one quarter of a cent from the previous quotation.
 In 1929, copper sold as high as 24 cents.
 The present reduction reflected the slackening of the demand for the metal after a squirt following a cut in the export quotation early this week.
 Export sales totalled one million pounds, contrasting with $500, 900 pounds taken by the foreign mar ket on Tuesday.

NAVY AlRSHIP
 FIRST OF KIND
 IN EQUIPMENT
Will Garry Planes Which Is Pioneering in New
 Aviation Field

WASHINGTON, D. O., May 21,- A flying machine carrying flying machines, the new navy airship Akron will be first in dirigible hls- tory to carry airplanes as part of its equipment.
 Pioneering in new field, design CTS of the 6,5O0,0 0,000-cubic- mon- ster to be launched in midsummer have only the navy's experiments with the Los Angeles in attaching and detaching planes on which to draw for practical experience.
 The airplane compartment, hous- ing four and later five heavier-than air craft, probably will be one of the last of the Akron's features to be completed. Actual plane tests probably will not be made unJll after the airship's trial flights from the Goodyear-zeppelin dock in Akron, Ohio.
 A trapeze with which to launch and catch the plane, refined beyond the one used on the Los Angeles, is being developed, as well as rails to hold the planes in readiness within the airship. Another, but later, problem will be special types ef airplanes.
 Support Planes On Rails
 "A system of four mono-rails to support the planes has been dic- tated by the dimensions of the room allowed for airplane storage" says Comdr. Garland Fulton, navy con- struction corps expert.
 The storage room will measure roughly 70 feet in length by 60 or 70 feet in width. The four rails, radiating from above the central opening in the bottom, will accom- modate one plane each. A fifth plane may be suspended from the trapeze.
 Plane types are matter of future development. Such planes as are now available will be used at

ALBERTS IS TO MOVE OFFICES
 HERE IN FALL
Flory Announces Plans for Changes-Man Off,
 cial Visitors Coming

Headquarters offices of the Fed eral Governments agricultural ex- pertinent stations in Alaska will be moved to Juneau early next Fall, it was announced today by Charles H. Flory, Alaska Commissioner for the Department of Agriculture, who returned home early this week after spending more than two months in Washington discussing Alaska pro- jects of that department with Sec retary Hyde and others of its of ficers.
 He said he was entirely satisfied with the results of his Washington conferences. It had been Secretary Hyde's desire to visit the Territory this summer but so many matters demanded his personal attention that it was doubtful if the trip could be made.
 Many Otftcial Visitors
 However. Alaska will have great many official visitors during the next two or three months, MT. Flory said In a few weeks, the Con- gressional Committee on Wild Life Resources will arrive to spend some time studying Alaska conditions, and this visitation will be followed by others. The Interior Depart ment's activities will be studied by a delegation headed by Congress man Murphy of the Subcommittee of the House Committee on Appro- priations. Congressman Simmons, Nebraska, who is expected to be the Chairman of the Subcommittee for the Agricultural Department of the Appropriations Committee, is also due for visit here.
 Southeast, Interior and South west Alaska will be visited by these officials, and by others expected to come notrh.
 Maintain Sitka Farm
 For several months the transfer of agricultural experiment station headquarters from Sitka to Juneau has been in doubt. The decision was finally made after MT. Flory reached Washington. Owing to the fact that from now until fall is the busy season for that bureau, the transfer will not take place until in the Fall, MT. Flory said. At that time, Chief Agronomist AL berts, Filler Hanson, and the cleri- cal staff will be moved here and offices in the Capitol have been assigned to them.
 This does not mean that aban- donment of the Sitka station is contemplated, the Com m ssioner pointed out. The station will be continued and it's work carried on just as in the past.
 Kodidk Farm Closed
 The station at Kodiak has been permanently closed. The livestock handled by it on a range and breeding experiment will be moved to the station at Matanuska where the experiment will be continued.
