DEER AND QUAIL.
Why Changes Have Been Made in the
ODan Seasons.


The Sportsmen's Protective Association
met last night in the hall OF the Knights of
the Red Branch and discussed matters rela-
tive to the new game and fish laws.
The association is DESTROYS that the sport
ingmen of this State should be properly in.
formed in regard TO the changes that have
been made in the fish aud game laws.
1t has been the general impression tn at
the representatives of the association who
fought against the obnoxious measures of
the Emeric game bill had the quail and deer
law changed TO suit the pleasure of the city
sportsmeD.
This, however. is a wrong impression, as
it was the Legislators from the southern
and northern counties who had the law so
changed that instead OF having the omen
season for quail shooting commence on De-
tober /. as formerly, it will next year open
month earlier.
The representatives, of the association
were strongly in favor of enforcing the old
law MS regards the open season for quail
shooting. but they were powerless to com ba t
the efforts of their opponents, hence the
change IN the open season.
The same members who had through
their efforts altered the game law as re-
CARDS the open season for Quail-shootIng
were instrumental in having the deer
shooting season put back until September
l. The representatives OF the association
made strong attempt to have the season
open July 1, but their appeal in this parti-
cular was squashed by the Senators from
the northern part of the State, who stated
that in the months of July and August the
fawns would be destroyed by merciless not
hunters. who would not hesitate to shoot at
anything that reSembed deer regardless
OF size or sex.
Thirty new members jolned the assnria
ton last evening.

LOST IN HER FALL.
Strange Accident to an
Oakland Lady.
She Is Believed to Be Mrs. F. H..
Meyers, but Her Injuries Almost
Preclude standardization.

An accident that may result fatally to an
Oakland woman happened on Market street
yesterday afternoon.
As car 10 of the McAllister-street line
was passing the Palace Hotel lady
signaled the conductor to stop the car,
which he started to do. The bell was rung,
and the gripman responded TO the signal.
The lady started to get off the platform,
however, Just as the car was coming to q
standstil. A street-sprinker had passed a
moment before and had left the crossing
very slippery. Her feet slipped from under
her, and she fell on the cobblesIones, the
back Of her head striking with great force
on the stony pavement
She was iDsensible when carried into the
Palace drugstore. where DIR. Nathan Rogers
pronounced II case Of conclusion of the
brain.
When consciousness was partially re-
stored to the injured woman she was asked
her name. With an effort she said. "Jen-
ME Meyers" When asked her husbands
name she could not answer for some time,
but at last gasped out ST. ii. Meyers"
After little while Mrs. Meyers said she
lived in Oakland.
Mrs. Meyers was at once removed to the
Hygeia Sanitarium, OH Eddy street. and at
a late hour last night had not recovered
CONSCIOUSNESS. DIG lay III Il Seml-SIupOr
and the only answer she would give to
questions asked her would be, II don't
know"
DR.. Rogers. who was attending to the
case, said:
Mrs. Meyers is suffering from a severe
case OF brain c0ncuSsi0n, and the outlook
for her recovery is doubtful. 1t is very
probable that the skull has been fractured
at the base, but it is impossible to ascertain
definitely yet | have questioned her and
tried TO ind out her address in Oakland,
but her memory has completely failed her
and she does not know anything"
The only clew to Mrs. Meyers address
that colld be ascertained was that she told
DR.. Rogers in one Of her more lucid mo-
ments that she thought she lived on Broad
way, near Tenth street.
+. II. Meyers, the general manager of the
California Railway and the California I'M
provement Company, has his Office at
1003R Broadway, which is Just beyond
Tenth street, and it is thought that Mrs.
Meyers i'll the confusion of her brain caused
by her fall gave the address of her hus-
bands office.
Two cards with the name of Miss Fannie
B0nds on them were found in Mrs. Meyers
pCcketb0ok when she was taken to the drug
store, but there was absolutely 10 cew TO
her address found on her person. She wore
numerous articles of jewelry, all of the best
material, and carried small gold watch
with heavily engraved case On the in
side OF the front case was the picture of an
elderly man, evidently her husband, with a
gray mustache and beard.
The recovery of Mrs. Meyers is very
doubtful Both Dr. Rogers and the physi-
clan IN charge of the sanitarium say that
her injuries are very serious and may re-
suit fatally IN very short time.

Serious Charges Against the Veterans
Home Association to Be Brought
Before the Grand Jury.

A IL Getting Of the committee appointed at
Mondays special meeting of The Veterans
Home Association to investigate the affairs
of the association was held yesterday after
noon at Grand Army headquarters in the
ST. AIMS building. 1t was an executive
session with closed doors.
There was a full attendance, NJ. A. Me-
Laughlin ;cting as chairman. Jerome
Deasy secretary, and the other members
present were c. A. Fuller, Magnus TAFT and
S. j. Loop.
The chairman and secretary were APP
pointed subcommittee to ascertain the
cost OF having two experts 60 over all the
books and accounts uf the association.
II was decided TO send word to the adiu-
tant-gener a and also TO Department Com
mander Seymour and his associates, re-
questing all TO meet at the Veterans Home
at Tountville Sunday next for the purpose
of making any Investigation OF the home
that is possible at the present time. Senator
Seymour'5 committee was formed for the
purpose OF pushing a general Investigation
in consequences Of the disclosures concerning
Colonel Royce's defalcation.
Major w. Fl. Warfirld, one of its mem
bers, outlined It's proposed work last even
ing as follows:
There has been gross careessness or de-
liberate thieving on the part of the direc-
tors and other officers, and we propose to
push this whole matter to a head The
directors are responsible for at least a part
Of the defalcations, and they will be COM
PEELED to pay for II. We will take the
whole case before the Grand Jury, and the
guilty parties will be brought out. On our
committee we have one OF the shrewdest
lawyers IN the State, Judge A. J. Buckets Of
Solano County. General Barnes is our
talker, and c. Mason Kinne and myself are
there to worry them. There will be no
more delay in the prosecution. Not half
the scandal has come out vet"
1t Is freely stated now by members of the
association that certain directors, whose
names are known, have accepted passes
from the railroads and still charged up their
railroad fare to the association and drew
the several amounts. Also it is charged
that money has been drawn from the State
for more men than are contained in the
home. Also that exorbitant prices have
been paid for food supplies for the home at
Yountville. All these matters and moro
