PETERSBURG, Fla., June 19.—A 59-year-old industry is bring- ing $8,000,000 annually to this coun- try, and Dame Fashion is at the bottom of it, says Peter Duffus, fox farm owner of Pontiac, Mich. “Modern guns, improved traps and high prices of furs have about exterminated the valuable species of fur bearing animals which have been pursued to their farthest re- treats in the north,” he explained. “Most of our valuable pelts now come from farms where the ani- mals are bred and reared in cap- tivity. “The first known attempt to ob- tain skins in this manner was in the summer of 1870. Ben Haywood of Tignish, Prince Edward Island, Canada, purchased a black fox pup | and mated it with one secured at North Cape in the same province. “This ploneer of the fur farm| business succeeded in raising two pups the first year. He sold the skins for $75 and $100 respectively. He did not know they were worth $1,000 each in London. “Little progress was made until five years later. ‘Then a man named Dalton formed a partnership with a trapper named Sutton and |ped with the latest sciemtific nurs- ery apparatus and in charge of experts in the' breeding of animals and caré of the young.

Where aldermen, judges and members of Congress crowded the burial party of “Big Jim" Celosimo eight years ago, “Big Tim” Mur- phy last year had none of promi- nence to attend him to the grave. John Landésco of the American Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology draws the conclusion that newspaper accounts of those attending gangster funerals intimi- dated the politician. Landesco studied gangster conditions for the Chicago crime commission. The funeral of “Diamond Joc" Esposito, political henchman and | liquor dealer, attained the greatest distinction of any gangland funeral A United States senator was among the meurners. - ee— JESS DRAWS' CROWD TO HIS NEW Al NEW YORK, June 19, Mahon is convineing that Madison Square Garden no monopoly on the successful side of boxing in New York.

Jess proposes to continue his shows through the summer and figures he will have the metropoli- tan fans thoroughly familiar with ithe location of his arena when the fall and winter season opens. e NO BROWN BALLPLAYER CAN WEAR 'NUMERAL 13 PROVIDENCE, R.
