The Robert Davis Association
Wants To Locate Opposite
the New City Hall.

The Robert Davis Association will not
move into the rooms over Garretson &
Donaldson's saloon, at No. 81 Newark
avenue. This was decided at a meeting
of the association held last night. A
month ago the younger element of the
association turned out in full force and
passed a resolution to move the associa-
ton from its present pretty, but quiet
quarters at No. As Mercer street to New
ark avenue. The friends Of the move
ment contended that the location Of the
rooms on a lively thoroughfare would
tend to increase the attendance.
Robert Davis was opposed to the pro-
posed new headquarters; but he remain
ed from the meeting, and probably for
that reason the resolution: to move vas
passed. The standard bearers, principal
objection to moving was that having the
rooms in a central part of the city would
result in crowds hanging about the front
door, leaning out Of windows and prob
ably annoying ladies who passed. He
did not think such things would improve
the associations standing. Another OBJ
lection was the increased expense that
would result from he move.
Last night. a special meeting of the
association was held to reconsider the
resolution to move. Robert Davis was
present. He made a brief speech opposing
the move. He. said he wanted to do
everything p0ssibleg to please the mem
berss but he argued that the location Of

FAVOR PROTECTION FOR DEER
Approve b Plan to StoT
killing for Three Years.


MAYS LANDING, Feb. 4, 1s97.-The bill
introduced in the Assembly by Mr. Sco-
vel on Tuesday ito prohibit the killing of
deer in the State for three years meets
the hearty approval of the sportmen and
residents generally in the section where
all the deer are to be found. There is
reason to fear that under the present law
which allows the animals to be hunted
and killed every year, they will soon be
exterminated, for they are becoming very
scarce and wild from continual chasing
and hunting. A long petition will prob
ably be sent to the Legislature praying
that the bill be passed. Some sports
men wish the law made. even broader
n extended to quail and rabbits, which
are becoming very scarce. 1t is feared
the severe weather of the past few
weeks has killed Off all the quail In this
locality.
HAMMONTON, Feb. A, 1897.-The re-
cent fall of snow has been a great boon
to fox hunters in the vicinity of Ham
monton. The forests abound with these
sly creatures, and many have been killed
n some young ones have been captured
alive. The hunters nave noticed but few
tracks of rabbits and other ame and it
its feared that many have persisted from
the cold and lack of food.

SEAL SKINS ARE BARRED
RADICAL PROVISION IN THE BILL TO
PROHIBIT PELAGIC SEALING.
Important Clause That Escaped At
tentiOn Till the Measure Reached
the President for Approval.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-It has devel-
oped that the bill relating to pelagic sealing
which has just passed both branches of
Congress and is before the President, con-
tains provision of far-reachng Importance
places an abEolute prohibition on the fur
States from any source whatever. AS the
world for seal skins, this complete stop
page of the trade in this country will be
a severe measure against the British and
Canadian industries which take and cure
the skins and then dispose of them largely
in the United States.
When the bill was proposed it was gen.
orally supposed that its only purpose was
to prohibit American citizens from carrying
on pelagic sealing. This feature was the
only one to attract attention during the
discussion. At the close of the bill, how
ever, is section which is not restricted to
Americans, but applies to seal skins in gen.
eral taken in the waters mentioned in this
act,'' which includes the whole Pacific
ocean. The provision is as follows:
Section 8. That the importation into the
United States by any person whatsoever of
fur seal skins taken in the waters mem
toned in this act, whether raw, dressed,
dyed or manufactured is hereby prohibited,
and all such articles imported after this act
shall take effect shall not be permitted to
be exported, but shall be seized and de-
stToyed by the proper officers of the United
States.'
Those who are thoroughly familiar with
the bill say this provision is of far more
Importance in it's effect than the prohibition
against pelagic sealing by Americans.

ANOTHER JUROR SECURED.
Luetgert Case Ready for Trial Again.
A New Line of Defense.

CHICAGO, Dec. T.--Once more twelve
men sit in the box to hear the evidence
tending to show the guilt or innocence of
Adolph L. Luetgert. alleged wife murderer
The man who took the place of Henry Boas-
berg is Robert Anners, a shoemaker, forty
five years old.
To clear Luetgert his attorneys will. in the
trial now commenced, introduce a new line
of defense. In maintaining the theory that
Mrs. Luetgert is still alive her acquaint-
ance with Robert Davey. an Englishman
with engaging manners, who is blamed by
Luetgert for his business troubles, will be
brought out in court and the fact dwelt
upon that Davey, who conducted the nego-
tiations with Luetgert for the incorporation
and enlargement of his business, was very
polite to Mrs. Luetgert, paying her marked
attention, and frequently. so ii is said by
close friends of Luetgert, spending almost
the entire day with her in the house from
which the state maintains her husband
lured her to death in the basement of the
adjoining sausage factory. Davey left Chi
cago last January ostensiby to get the
money for the sale of Luetgert's sausage
mandatory TO a Dutch syndicate. Mrs.
Luetgert disappeared on the night of May
!. Whether the two correSpOnded in the
meantime cannot be learned, but that the
pair We're greatly interestd in each other
will be alleged and upon this line the ac-
cused will base his defense.
