CHOOSING WARDENS
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13—

It is designed now to have all these men selected by Department of Agriculture officials, to whom they will report and be directly responsible.
At present the Chief Fur Warden and United States game warden for the territory is Ernest P. Walker, with headquarters at Juneau.
