BEARS
 MAKE RAID ON
 ABBERT RANCH
pr. Loftus Reports Five Animals Killed and Two
 Hurt by Two Bears

A brown bear raid on a Kodiak Island cattle ranch, in which fiv. animals were killed and two others badly torn up, is described in an official report made to Gov. George A. Parks by Dr. Jules B. Loftus, Territorial veterinarian. who re- turned last week from an inspec- tion trip to Kenai Peninsula ard the Kodiak-Afognak regions.
 The raid occurred early in May Dr. Loftus, who was in Kodiak to inspect dairy stock and visit fur farms in this vicinity, was called by H. S. Albert to treat the in- jured stock.
 Visit Stock Range
 Tn his report to the Governor, Dr. Loftus said:
 At Kodiak, H. s. Albert asked me to come out and care for an injured COW and look into some loss he felt sure he had sustained through bear. Both COWS had claw marks on their nccks and wounds from the teeth of the bear on their backs. One COW had two teats sev- cred from the udder completely and the other two badly lacerated. This COW gave birth to a fine calf three days later, but due to the inflamed condition of her uder it was neces- sary to supply a nurse COW for the calf. I accompanied MT Ab- bert up on the range and we found five distinct kills. One of these, a sucking calf, and the remainder long yearlings to adults. The kills were about four days old and no doubt occurred when the two COWS came in to the ranch buildings.
 "The entire herd of from 50 to TO head moved in near the build ings and were reluctant to leave. Two yearlings and the sucking calf were eaten up completely, only the bones remaining. From the other kills only the udders had been eaten. The tracks of two bear were easily found in the alder patches where the kills had been dragged and at least a dozen beds had been dug One quite large track, between II and 12 inches in length for the rear foot and the smaller track was about nine inches in length. From the appearance of the carcasses I think it likely that the killing was done in one night and, after a day or two spent in the vicinity, the bear dit not come again to eat.'
 Fur Farm Development
 Dr. Loftus took number of photographs showing the injuries on the COWS he treated, and the kills made by the bear.
 He spent most of May inspecting dairy stock at Seward and the Ko- diak-Afognak areas and visiting fox ranchers in the same districts
 Regarding fur farming, he said: Reports from numerous pen ranchers of blue foxes are being received and this phase of the blue fox industry is looking both inter- esting and promising"

Temperature of HOthouse.
The kiosk temperature, it was ex-
planned at the Weather Bureau, is the
temperature of dollhouse, especially on
a hot, still day. The glass case Is open
only on the bottom. The hot air rises
from the pavements and fills the case.
The glass prevents it from escaping.
No adequate method has been devised
of producing adequate, uniform ctrcula-
ton inside Besides, there is the cast
iron frame, weighing close to a ton.
Cast iron is fine absorber of heat from
the sun. It sends up the wet bulb
thermometer inside at least several
degrees.
The temperature recorded inside the
case thus is far from that exerlenced
by the sweating citizen who stands out
side and reads it. He has at least the
benefit of any cooling breezes. Besides,
the kiosks usually are placed in con-
spicuous positions where the tempera-
ture is increased by the radiations from
the pavements and where the normal
air circulation is cut off by the high
buildings. So even an uninclosed ther-
mometer at that spot would give tenn
perature much higher than actually was
being experienced in the residential
parts of the city.

OFFICERS DEATH
HELD ACCIDENTAL
Policeman Cellar Killed in
Unavoidable Crash,
Jury Decides.

A verdict of accidental death in the
case of Policeman Arthur F. Cellar of
the fourteenth precinct, who died at
Emergency Hospital Saturday from in
juries sustained when a police auto
mobile was wrecked Friday while re-
spending to a false murder call, was
rendered by a coroner's jury at the
District morgue yesterday afternoon.
The verdict relieves C. Lester Smiley,
81, of Braddock Heights, Md, of re-
sponsibility for the crash. The police
automobile collided with the car oper-
ated by Mr.. Smiley on Connecticut
avenue near the entrance to the Zoo.
The police car was operated by Po-
1iceman Irving T. Headley, who was
uninjured.
There was conflicting evidence at the
inquest as to whether or not Smiley's
brakes were bad, but evidence brought
out that the brakes did not figure in
the accident, as Smiley was driving at
q very moderate rate of speed and max
ing a turn when the crash occurred.
Considerable conflicting testimony
was heard regarding whether the police
car had sounded its siren shortly before
the accident occurred Several police
officers said that it had, but a number
of witnesses declared they did not hear
the siren on the police car.
A number of them testified to having
heard siren on a police motor cycle
which passed before the police car.

President Hoover was requested in a

It urge that Congress be called in

every hand points to the necessity for
early Legislative action. I venture the
suggestion that conferences do not
mean action. and usually mean an ex-

that the responsibility of the President

High-class tennis is being dished

battling Lieut.. Stanley K. Robin

pion, in another single match.
The Considine-Muhleisen match
is being watched keenly by local

Saturday, and this will be
localities first chance Of seeing
him in action.

of shots which will keep Muhleisen

not find the match a Siesta, if we
must use another Spanish word.
