Describing filming tlie beavera, Arthur Pack said: "The dam was dvnamlted. Then we waited. Out ol his 'headquarters house' came the chief engineer of tbe beaver construction company.

"Taking of movies of the mountain goats was a harder job tAan getting the beaver pictures. We had to do some climbing, too, because the goat's one idea seems to be to look below him all the time for trouble. As a result, we had to get above the animals; some of our pictures were taken within 30 feet of them." Other animals photographed were hole in the dam. The noise of the big horn sheep, deer, ptarmigan and rushing water kept the beaver from hearing the click of the camera. some of tbe most beautiful scenery on the North American continent, Pardoned Slayer Is Believed Lost Famous Fuller Case, 30 Years Ago. is Recalled CAPTAiN~ilISSING Schooner Not Heard From Since Distress Call on Jan. 8th Britain Will Not Submit Scheme Has No Intention of Present- ing Complete Security Plan London. â€" It is authoritatively stat- ed that the report that the British Government has notified the League of Nations' secretariat of its inten- tion to submit a complete scheme on security as seen from the British viewpoint is entirely incorrect.

The gruesome memories of the trial w>ere recalled as follows: Aboard the barkentins Herbert Fuller on a morning in 1896, came the opening chapter of tbe tragedy, with the discovery of the badJy beaten bodies of Captain Nash, master of the Fuller, his wife and the second mate. The murderous deed bad been commit- ted with an axe. BRAM ARRESTED. Cliarles Brown, the man at the v.'beel, was accused by Bram as the murderer and ba \va3 put in irons. Shortly after, however, Bram was noted in the act of removing the mdas- ing axe from i)eneath a deck boat Birr>\vn was then released and Bram plaesd in irons. Tho vessel, which was bound for South America with a ca^rgo of lum- ber, was turned about for Halifax. The three bodies were placed in the' boat and in that manner tow«d to the now port of destination. At Bram's first trial in Boston, in iho same year, he was convicted and 'â-  aenteixced to be hanged. At a second trial, however, he was sentenced t» life imprisonntent at Atlanta. Mary Roberts Rinehart, who wrote a novel, weaving into it the story of the murder, then became interested in Bram and her efforts were accredited with tho paroAe being grranted by President Taft. Later, the man was pardoned by President Wilson. son Bay Railway and the Flon line was commenced.
