REPINGTON TALKS ALASKA
GAME PROTECTION
OLYMPIA, Wash.- A general game
plan to conserve and protect Alaska
anmas will be placed in effect ulti
mately, Paul Redington, chief of the
United States Biological Survey, said
here on his arrival from Alaska,
where he spent three weeks.
Redington said the Federal Govern
ment, n cooperation with the Alaska
Game Commission and the Forestry
Service, has instituted a survey to
determine the status of brown bear,,
particularly on Admiralty Island near
Juneau.
From the survey, which will be
completed in six weeks, authorities
expect to learn the population and
rate of increase or decrease of the
brownies.
Redington said a move to give
bears more protection is the begin
ning of what eventually will be a sat
isfactory pan for control of all Alaska
animals.
Some Alaskans think the brownies
should be exterminated, but Reding
ton believes they are not dangerous
enough for that.
He added that future rules will be
made after “full consideration of the
attitude of Alaska people."

HELD AT FAIRBANKS .
.. ON MURDER CHARGE
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
At the conclusion .of a preliminary
hearing Monday .at Tanana, Roberl
Young was bound over by U. S. Com
missioner Jessie M. Howard to the
grand jury on a charge of lrst degree
murder in the death of Cornelius
Cronin.
He was brought to* Fairbanks and
is now held in the Federal jail.
The examination was conducted on
the part of the government by E. B.
j Colins,, assistant U. S. attorney. No
' new evidence was produced, it was
i said.
Dr. J. A. Sutherland performed an
autopsy on Cronin’s body. It was
discovered that one bullet went in
from the right side of the back and
struck the backbone, shattering it.
The other went in on the left side of
the back and came out under the
right arm.
Cronin was last seen August 23",
and when he failed to appear after
several days it was assumed that he
had fallen from his fish wheel, about
12 miles below Kallands, and was
drowned.
But when the water receded his
body was discovered not Jar below the
wheel. His body was being prepared
for buria lwhen the two bullet holes
in the beck were discovered.
Commissioner Howard summoned a
coroner’s jury and an inquest was
held on the spot, the jury namng
Young as the probable slayer.
Young made no statement at the
hearing which would tend .to impli
cate him in the crime.
“I hope that is a nice book for you
to read, darling,” said .a conscientious
mother to her very young daughter.
“Oh, yes, mummy, it’s a lovely
book, but I don’t think you would
like it. It’s sad at the end.”
“How is it sad, dear?”
“Well, she dies, and he has to go
back to his wife.”—Missouri Pacific
Magazine.
