THERE ARE PLENTY OF DEER.
A Maine Game Commissioner Tells Of
Game in Pine Tree State.

Commissioner Charles u. Oak who
has just returned to civilization from
a hunting trip in the north of Maine
is quoted as follows:
THE first month of the game season
closes with q magnificent record; it
speaks well for the state Yes. ] do
think that the state game laws have
aided very materially in the splendid
showing made over other years.
There are more deer than ever be-
fore in the Maine woods There can
be no doubt that the animals are in
creasing very rapidly in spite of the
annual slaughter, and we need have no
fears about the security of the supply
for the future.
LAS to moose, in spite of what has
been said in some quarters. the game
Wardens, who cover practically the en-
tire game country in the most careful
way, say that these animals are IN
creasing. ] consider this opinion worth
holding. I believe that the present
stringent moose law may be modified
considerably within a few years, as a
result of the success with which this
game has been protected The results
certainly justify the stricmess of the
laws and their administration.
Regarding caribou. it is han to say
much. They are so migratory tnat their
movements are hard to follow. and j
don't feel able to discuss their case very
much AZ present"

TWO FIRES AT FITcHBURe.
Firemsn Have Lively Times Locating the

Fitchburg, Nov 13.-Fitchburg had
two fires this morning at the same
time, and the department had their
hands full for short while Box 50
called the department to what is
known as Cleghorn, IL miles from the
city proper. and this alarm was i'm
mediately followed by another from
box 81 located in an exactly opposite
direction. For some reason the indi-
Gators in the reserve stations did not
work, and the firemen We're in ignor-
ance that there was a second fire until
telephoned for.
The first fire was trifing. The Sec
ond fire was in the house Of H. A.
Dickson on Cedar street, and the roof
was entirely destroyed. The flames
We're prevented from communicating
with the main part of the house by
the use of garden hose. The house
was occupied by two families, who re-
moved all their belongings. The house

THEY ARE SORE.
Yale Players Feel Defeat
In Mind and Body.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 10. = The Yale
foot ball eleven returned from Princeton
shortly before 6 O'Clock this evening. They
were disappointed looking lot of men.
and when approached on the subject of
Saturdays game were reticent and re-
fused to discuss it ct all. Neither Capt
Chamberlain nor the coachers would make
amy statement. STREETS @a0fa iugEF
Yale men generally take the defeat in
the right spirit, and say that though the
score against her is victory for Prince
ton, they cannot feel that, it represents
the playing of the two eleveng nor their
ability.
The physical condition of the men in
several instances was apparently not so
good as the coachers had believed on the
morning of the game. None of the men
who played in Saturdays game are any
the worse for it, They are all more or
less bruised, but are fit to go into practice
tomorrow They will, however, be given
Monday to rest up, and on Tuesday will
line up for practice on the field.
DeSaulles did not injure his lame ankle
very greatly. 1t is considerably worse
than it was when he went into the game
but he himself hopes to be able to enter
the game with Harvard next Saturday.
He feels greatly disappointed over his
condition i'll the Princeton game. Wheth-
er he will play in the final big game or
not will depend on how much he improves
Mcbride is evidently not a well man,
though unhurt.

TRUE VERSION.
Col. Stoddard's Guide Tells
Who Removed Sign.

The controversy resulting from the
arrest Of Col. e b. Stoddard of this
city and Henry Roelofs, a Philadelphia
sportsman, for fishing in Rangeley
stream and the subsequent dropping of
the criminal cases against the two
men, will not down.
Several letters upon the subject have
appeared in the various sportsmen's
papers, some in support and others in
condemnation of the actions of Messrs.
Stoddard and Roelofs. No stronger
written on either side, than that of DR..
George McAleer, published in last
weeks issue of the Phillips Phono-
graph. DR.. McAleer defended the at
tltude taken by Messrs. Stoddard and
Roelofs.
The letter has called out a statement
from X. w. Cakes, who guided Mr.
Stoadard on the trip, and evidently
knows the true inwardness regarding
the removal of the sign on the grounds
OF the OqucsScc Club, which was the
foundation of the whole trouble.
Mr.. Cakes says that neither gentle
man was guilty of a wilful violation of
the law. Before he put the sportsmen
into the for hidden territory, he met F.
A. Turner, the president of the Oquos-
soc Angling Association, and remarked
You did good thing getting that sign
taken down and letting other people
get all the fish before we got there -
Mr.. Cakes says President Turner re-
piled that the sign was removed by or
der of Commissioner Stanley and the
president and superintendent of the
OquoSsoc Club.
Mr.. Cakes says in his statement:
THE man who really took that sign
down is Mr.. Charles Haley. guide
who lives in Rangeley. He admits this
freely, and it was done by order Of the
president of the Oquossoc Club. No
body here who is at all conversant with
the affair questions but that Mr.. STAN
ley, for some reason or other, had that
sign removed with the knowledge of
the officers of the club. Why, nobody
knows or cares much, except as a re-
suit, the responsibility has been laid
upon others 1t is understood that one
Of the commissioners has denied that
Mr., Stanley had anything to do with it.
| have not heard that Mr.. Stanley has
committed himself either way. 1t is
the opinion here that an error has been
made and an effort made to shift re-
sponsibility."

OPPOSED TO TWO RACES.
Cornell Navy Authorities Trying to Solve
A Delicate Problem.

Ithaca, N. Y. Nov. 1S.-During the past
week the Cornell naval authorities have
been discussing the intercollegiate aquatic
situation. The members of the athletic
council have been in session on two occa-
sions, and it is expected another meeting
will be held early next week, to decide
whether or not Cornell will row two races
the coming spring.
1t is known as a positive fact that Cor
nell has not received any official chal-
lenge from either Yale or Harvard this
fall. Notwithstanding the reports to the
contrary. Nevertheless. the Ithacans will
have a delicate problem confronting them
again this year viz: Whether or not
their crew will row two separate races if
it should be asked to do SO. Two races
will be avoided if possible for the result
of last years race at Saratoga practically
convinced Coach Courtney and the mem
bers of the crew that they were not capa-
BILE of keeping in top-notch condition for
two great races.

Roosevelt to Aid in Giving Harvard
Eleven a Rousing Send-off.

Cambridge, Nov. 13-The foot ball pro-
gram at Harvard this week is briefly as
follows: On Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday there will be the usual practice,
only it will be sitter than ever. On Wed
nesday evening there may be another
mass meeting in Sanders Theatre to give
the men a send-off, such as was given
them just before the Pennsylvania game.
If it is definitely decided to hold such a
meeting it is probable that Governor-elect
Roosevelt, 49, of New York will address
the boys. On Thursday morning the Har-
ward team will breakfast early and leave
for Meriden, Conn

between Exeter and the Academy,
satisfactory solution of the champion
ships might be secured, whichever team
won.
Lovers of sport would like to see
another game between the Academy
and the High School. The latter team
has much improved since they last
met, while the Academy has fallen of
somewhat in it's play. Such a game
would bring the local foot ball season
to a fitting close, and should be care
fully considered by both schools before
the matter is allowed to drop.

college world will watch the game with
interest as upon it depends the settle

Yale wins Princeton will be cham

bring up the rear of the big four If
Harvard wins. the question will still
be in doubt for it will place Yale and
Pennsylvania on a par, while Harvard
and Princeton win contest the cham

her afinities and business reasons, will
pray for a Yale victory while Penn

the same for Crimson success.

Pennsylvania gained more yards in
rushing the ball than did her oppo-

No doubt Yale will use the coming
week in breaking out of this weakness
but unless she does improve, Harvard
will have by far the better chance, for
her forwards follow the ball as well
as did Princetons Saturday. The score
should be larger than in any big game
SO far. The Yale ends are not as strong
as those Of last year, and if Harvard
could get around those ends, she surely
ought to circle this years ends. for she
has the same pair Of backs The great
trouble with the end interference this
year has been that the ends being so
light, do not help it out as much as did
last years heavy pair, Cabot and

Correspondent and Circulates Bogus Drafts Broadcast

William Lodtmann, who recently con- tributed several articles to local papers. has proved without chance for contra diction that a black sheep has worked his way into the newspaper world. After he left this city he made his way north and thence East, and during his trip has more than made his expenses in a oues- tionable manner.
 According to complaints made from various sources, Lodtmann is at present palming himself off as a correspondent of The Call, and in plausible way relates a tale of financial embarrassment for the time being. He then tells a connected story and produces letters and papers which seem to bear out his explanations. Money is asked for, draft given on the cashier of the paper and the trick is done. The last victim heard from is the firm of Brown, Page and Hilman Company of Peoria, H., who are losers to the extent of $10. odtmann gave the firm a draft for s19, and after purchasing a few ar ticles. which he ordered shipped to Terre Haute, Ind, received money in change The goods have since been returned to the firm.

EDNA CAN NOW
 MARRY AGAIN Judge Hebbard Returns Mrs. Hopper to Single Bless
 edneSS. RunlOr Has It That Tod Sloan Is to Be Accepted to Fill the
 Blank.

Judge Hebbard granted a divorce yes- terday to Edna Wallace Hopper from her husband, William DeWolf Hopper, on the ground of desertion. With this decree comes revival of the story that Edna will soon become the wife of the famous jockey, Tod Sloan. It is given out on the authority of no less a parsonage than Sloans valet that the hurried departure of the jockey to the East was for the purpose of being with Mrs. Hopper when the courts decided in her favor.
 The following telegram, received by The Call last night, would indicate that Edna was sure of her case:
 NEW YORK, May 5.-Edna Wallace Hopper denies that she seeks a reconcili- ation with her husband, DeWolf Hopper, the comedian.
 ''The fact is," said Mrs. Hopper last night ''I expect and hope to secure my divorce within the next two weeks 1 trust that he and I will always be good friends. simply because l dislike being enemy to anyone But our relations in future will never go Deyond friendship, believe me-"
 When asked what she thought of the possibility of her husband making Miss Bergen his wife, she answered: 'I should do not care to pass upon the advisablltty of any of MT. Hopper'S actions. If he and Miss Bergen are to be happy, well and good. Mir. Hopper deserves some taking unto himself three wives merits reward
 Mrs. Hopper denied that she had named Miss Bergen as correspondent in her di- vorce case. ''I don't want to talk about the State of California permit me to ob- tain divorce on the ground of desertion. I am taking advantage of that fact

-hile it Is true that such a document would be of little or no value if it was proven to be executed at a time when the aged millionaire was known to be mentally unsound, yet if the paper ante-dated this period of mental inca pacity 1t would be an exceedingly diffi- cult matter to prove that it had been executed at any time other than that shown on its face.
 For these reasons, as well as for those given by Mrs. Merritt, 1t might be considered wise thing to get the aged Mrs. Merritt will admit that since her fathers mental prostration he has had anything but the most careful attention and the best medical treatment. SutrO Heights is supposed to be a most healthful spot, and the nurses provided for the invalid were the best that could be procured.

It remains to be seen whether their acts will be met by any counter move on the part of the children who are opposed to them in the matter of the custody of their father.

NATIONAL AIRS
 AT THE SYMPHONY Scheel Plays "The Star-Span- gled Banner" While
 Women Stand. Season Closes With a Good Pro- granonae and Snug Balance
 in the Treasury.

The symphony season at the Tfvoli closed yesterday afternoon with a fine programme proper and a triumphant flourish of interpolated patriotism. MT. Scheel not only played Weber's 'Jubel" overture, which closes with the hymn that we Americans call America" but "The Star-spangled Banner as well. He played it first in it's original form and then as done into a quick march by George Theile, embroidered and counter shot with snatches of Yankee Doodle" and Dixie" The audience, a very large one, stood up to the last woman and re- mained standing while the patriotic tunes were being played. "The Star-spangled Banner" is good music at any time, and Scheel played it like an American; but MT. Theile's Sousaesque version of it has no place on a symphony programme, and in conditions other than the present would be an affront to the symphony subscrt- bers. AS 1t was, there seemed something yellowly sensational in dragging it in where a repetition of the good old simple tune undiluted would have served so much better.
 However, the general programme was beyond cayil, and the work of the band was surer, evener and more finished than at any other concert of the season Ser lioz's Harold in Italy" symphony, a work unique in the theatrical literature of the orchestra, was played with sur passing dramatic power. If the worth of Bernat Jaulus as a viola player had not been established by earlier performances in chamber concerts he would have Hn- ished the solo viola part yesterday to find himself immediately famous. He played the part. which is supposed to represent Harold, with a rare tone, music1anly polSe and a certain Byronic blend of despair and devilment that were cumulatively splendid.
 For all his masterly Instrumentation and color sense, BerlioZ, in this work at least, does not touch the emotions as they are touched by Tschaikowsky's Pa thetique" or Beethoven's C Minor. His ap- peal is more theatrical, more sensuouS, than theirs, and as he insists on pro gramme music" and relates rather than reflects 1t may be that his touch is more vivid. But he is neither as terrible as man as Beethoven. After fashion he is to them what Sardou is to Ibsen and Shakespeare. It would be impossible to overpraise ScheeIs management of the orchestra in this difficult work.
 The TSchaikowSky Serenade. too, was beautifully taken, it's contrasts in som berness and almost iuppancy being finely marked; and the Kaiser March," by Wagner, was played with just the right sonorous pomp.
 The music public is indebted to Mr. Scheel and the Symphony Society for the only first class season of music ever heard item of which season Is that t has been a big success financially as well as artis- ticaily. There is a snug little balance of S3500 on hand. and hundreds of ready sub scribers to insure the second series, which commences in the fall.
