Fox Farming A Good
INDUSTRY Bays BehrS

reter Behrs who has operated a
.oX tarIn on the islands at the south
end OF Rocky I.ass Tor the last ten
years, spent several Gays the latter
part OF the week in Mrangeu. lie
drought in his gasboat Hicks to be
registered at the u. 5. Customs as
tonnage boat.
Behrs is far from being dis
couraged over the low fur market
He says that fox farming is a.
good an industry as there is in tn.
country. 1t gives the fox farmer =.
good home, with the opportunity |,
raise an abundance OF garden stu.
which with the fish and game a.
hand assures him of plenty to eat.
farmer, he maintains, still makes
good money if he can have the
benefit of his foxes, and not have
them stolen by some miscreant.
Behrs last fall reported the theft
OF a number of his haifgrown fox
pups shortly after he had transferr-
ed them from the breeding island
TO the island where he kept only
the young foxes. The animals were
not marked, but he is positive they
were taken by fox farmer to stock
new islands or to add to run
down stock. His foxes are now
marked SO that he can identity his
animals whether dead or alive, and
a theft in the future will be
grand jury matter.

Vermont Co. Brought
Only Skilled Quarry
Workers 10 Token

In a letter written to the Wran-
CELL Chamber of Commerce, Supt.
Thomas of the Vermont Marble
Company at Token states that ad-
ditional men are not needed at the
present time. If, however, more
help is required at later date it
will be procured from Wrangell.
He further stated that the CON-
pany had probably been unduly
criticised for bringing men from
the states but that the men brought
north were all experienced and
skilled in quarry work and nearly
all were former employees. Exper-
fenced men from Wrangell were
given work as well as a number of
common laborers.
In the past, says Mr. Thomas, the
men given employment at Token
from this district would, as a rule,
quit their jobs when the fishing
season opened and as result the
Vermont Marble Company has been
bringing men from the States that
could be depended upon to stay
throughout the season.

MAGAZINE SELLER
IS FOUND GUILTY
New Trial Asked by Dealer
After Conviction in First
of 133 Test Cases.

From the 5 30 Edition OF Yesterdays starr
In the first of 1873 cases growing out
Of the recent police drive against al
legedly salacious publications, James
Carley, 40, of 1909 Nichols avenue
southeast, was found guilty by jury
in Police Court this afternoon on a
charge Of offering for sale an indecent
magazine.
While three publications were in
volved in the police drive, only one was
tested in the case today.
Sentence was deferred to allow Judge
Ralph Given to take under Amusement
a motion for a new trial which was
made Immediately after the verdict was
rendered.
The jury. composed of II men and a
woman, deliberated about a half hour
following the closing of the Govern
ments case by Assistant United States
Attorney Michael F. Kecgh.
In his argument, Keosh, who had in
troduced in evidence several pages OF
the magazine as being particularly sa-
lacious," declared it was the effect the
magazine had and the impression it
made on the minds of the young which
were especially objectionable.
The defense contended Carley and
other dealers should not be held re-
sponsible for the contents of the maga-
zine
After the trial, Keogh said that his
efforts in the future would be confined
to obtaining punishment of the dis
tributors of the magazine, whom he
held chiefly to blame for the circula-
ton Of the banned publication.

consolidation Of the War and Navy
Departments would neither add to the
efficiency Of either nor be favorable for
economy of operation"
In my opinion, the consolidation Of
the Army and Navy Departments. in
Department of National Defense. is
inadvisable," he added.
Hurley was teStifying on a proposal
Endorsed by House Democratic leaders,
including Speaker Garner and Chair
man Byrns Of the Appropriations Com
mlttee.
The Army and Navy already are
under a single command, the PreSi-
dent" Hurley said.
ITO displace the two present cabinet
officers with one Secretary for National
Defense and assistants you would be
lengthening the line of command
through other Offices" he testified be-
fore the House Expenditures Committee.
In order to obtain unity of COM
mand in the new organization you
would create more top-heavy Or
ganization than you now have.
You would put the new Secretary of
NdtlOnaI DeIellSe III IHe dPploAhilaIe

PLAN THEFT LAID
|. TO AKRON ACCUSER
Goodyear Official Says Man
Was Discharged for Steal
ing U. S. Drawings.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The head of the Goodyear-Zeppelin
Co. told the House Naval Committee to-
day one of two men who charge the
airShip Akron was defective was dis
charged for stealing Government draw
ings.
Paul W. Litchheld. president Of the
Goodyear concern, made the statement
in answering an accusation that two
men had been discharged because they
said there was faulty material and
workmanship in the airship.
E. C. Davidson secretary of the In
ternational Association OF MachiniSts.
yesterday said w B. Underwood Of
Tennessee and E. C. Mcdonald of this
city were the men laid Off
Caught With Drawing.
We never knew who those two men
were until yesterday. and 1 didn't know
they had been discharged" Litchfield
testified.
Underwood was discharged June TO-,
1881, when he was found taking Gov
ernrent drawing of naval vessel out
Of the shop. We thought that was suf-
ficient ground for the discharge of any
man"
Mcdonald, Litchfeld added. was laid
off with two or three hundred other
men when the job was completed"
Cemdr. Ralph D. Weyerbacher, one
Of the naval officers who investigated
the alleged defects, said he wanted to
'repudiate to this committee the state
ment that Navy officials broke faith
by informing the Zeppelin
who had made the charges"
Few Defects Found.
Davidson testified yesterday that he
had asked the Navy to keep secret the
names Of Underwood and Mcdonald,
but that it seemed that had not been
done.
The Navy's investigators, Weyer-
bacher said, found very few defects in
the Akron. Those to which Underwood
directed attention, Weyerbacher added,
had been changed in an ordinary
routine manner and would have occur
red in any similar construction"
Less than 10 per cent of the flaws
Underwood said existed were found by
the naval investigators, Weyerbacher
testified
The fact that the Akron since has
proved her airworthiness under the
most trying conditions Substantiates the
findings CT the Investigators, he added
