BOAT WRECKACE AND BONES ARE FOUND ON BEACH
Craft Was Grant of Doug las But Dead Man
 Is Mystery

Grim relics, found within the past few days, are mute evidence of sea tragedy that was enacted not far from Juneau several years ago. Broken pieces of a boat and several human bones were discov- cred on the beach between Dixon Harbor and Icy Point, which plac- es are between Cape Spencer and the westward side of Lituya Bay.
 The boat, judging from the wreckage, was the fishing craft Grant, documented at the United States Customs House in this city as the T-300 Her registered pa pars, which were filed May 19, 1919, by w. G. Rohrer of Douglas as owner, show that she was a fishing vessel B feet 4 inches in length, equipped with a ten-horse power gasoline engine.
 Rohrer Died at Douglas
 Inquiry at Douglas by the Gus toms office established that MT. Rohrer died at Douglas several years ago, but failed to ascertain to whom he had chartered or sold his boat.
 No report of the craft has been made to the Customs House in years.
 Advices relative to the finding of the wreckage of the vessel and of the human bones were re- ceived late yesterday by the Gus toms House from Joseph P. Ibach of Lernesurier Island, who wrote under cate of April 27 as fol- lows:
 There is wreckage of a boat on the beach between Dixon Har- bor and Icy Point. From the way it is scattered about, would say it must of happened years ago. The boat was painted green. Also found leather shoe with bones of foot to the ankle; also one leg bone from knee to hip. On the beach at Icy Point also found the guard of a boat painted green with T-300 and Grant on"

SAN FRAN CISCO, Cal, May 4.-JOhn Nance Garner, Speaker of the House of Rep- resentatives and Texas's en- try for the Democratic Presi- dential nomination, h as ap- parently won this States Presidential primary on the basis of incomplete returns reported today. He was lead ing both Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ex-G0v. Alfred E. Smith for the California delegation.
 The vote from 9,13S out of 1O,272 precincts in the State gave Garner 200,477; Roosevelt 158959; and Smith 131,601 The same precincts gave President Hoover confidence vote of 584,669, or more than the combined vote for all Democrats. Heavy Los Angeles Vote
 Gamers success in the State was due to the large vote he boiled in Southern California, particularly in Los Angeles County. He led there by a wide margin, with Roosevelt second and Smith a poor third. In Northern California. and especially in San Francisco Smith ran slightly ahead of Roosevelt with Garner negligible third.
 In the early returns from through out the State, the three candidates ran neck and neck. The first thousand precincts to report gave Garner 17,587, Roosevelt 17,240 and Smith 16,463.
 AS more and more returns were reported, Garner began to draw away from his two rivals It is not expected that the complete vote will materially affect the present standings.

LEAD POISONING
 IN INDUSTRY FOUND
 TO BE PREVENTABLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Indus- trial workers can be protected from lead poisoning if strict precautions are enforced, says report to the American Public Health Associa- tion by Dr. George H. Gehrmann.
 It has been found possible to protect workers, he states, even in the manufacture of tetra- ethyl lead, one of the most dangerous industrial processes involving lead because workers can be poisoned by it through mouth, nose and skin.
 Precautions against poisoning, he explains, include change of clothes and bathing after work, periodic health examinations and mainte- nance of good health by workmen, of dust and fumes from work rooms.
 Women and young people under i2 were found decidedly" suscep- tible to lead poisoning and should not be ployed on processes where there is danger of lead pois- oning, Dr. Gehrmann said. The same applies to men over 45.

were made in trapping seasons to adjust open and closing date to conform more closely to climat- ic conditions.
 The Commission is favorable to a continuance of the open season on beaver during the Spring of z934, but definite recommendations will be postponed until the re- suits of the open season for 1883 can be ascertained. Extension of the open season for 1893 was ar- nounced by the Commission sev- eral weeks ago.
 Predatory Animals
 The Commission adopted a res olution asking for Federal assist ance in the war on predatory ami mals, contending that the annual kill of game by wolves and coy oteS is several times that of hunt CTS and trappers; that the depre- dations of the coyote in particular has caused a great curtailment in the normal catch of fur-bearers.

TIPPING TO
 BE STOPPED

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. g. A campaign to end tipping on Pull mans has been outlined, and it's the union porters themselves who are behind it.
 The plan is one phase of a pro- gram drawn for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters by A. Philip Randolph of New York, it's president.
 'Porters don't like tipping any better than the passengers" he said. though" he smiled, their req sons may differ. Porters want 0 wage high enough to permit the abandonment of the practice of tipping. How high that wage would have to be depends on con- ditions."

 This modification of the Big Delta or Mccarthy closed area will open for hunting the region around Beals cabin, the closing of which has been the principal com- plaint of some of the Fairbanks residents.
 Bear Protection
 With the present liberal provis- ion in the regulations permitting a resident to protect his person and property from attack or mol sstation by large brown and grizzly bears the Commission believes that these animals are entitled to the protection of a summer close sea- son when their hides are of no fpit~ oo OAOPAi4Cos n SlOoC from June 20 to September l has been recommended to apply to both resident and nonresident hunters in the coastal range of the brown bear. This range in- ciudes Southeastern Alaska, the coastal drainage and islands in the Prince William Sound region, Ke- mai Peninsula, the drainage to the West side of Cook Inlet south of the Skwentna River, the Kodiak Island group and the Alaska Pen- insula.
 Bear hunting n Alaska is at- tracing annually a larger number of big game hunters who spend many thousands of dollars in wa ges for guides, packers, helpers, supplies and equipment. Many of these hunters have also become in mining and have in- vested heavily in Alaska proper ,ies.

 Game Refuges
 The Commission again endorsed the proposed establishment of a national park to include the pres cnt Glacier Bay National Monu- icent with adjoining areas. There i but little commercial develop nlent in the proposed park region With it's plentiful supply of game and birds, including considerable numbers of large brown and griz- 2ly bears added to the many na- tpral scenic wonders, it is believed the park would soon become one cf the outstanding tourist attrac- tons in Alaska and serve admir- ably as game refuge to assure the perpetuation of the large bears about which there is so much ap- prehension in the States.
 The Southern boundary of the Big Delta Game Refuge is to be changed from Mile 257 on the Richardson Highway to Mile 269, reducing the size of the area from
