PATIENTS EAT PHEAsANTs.
Seized by State Authorities from
Offending Sportsmen.

Thanks to the recently enacted Lacey
law. prohibiting the removal ot game
from one state To- another. the lhchh-
wanna hospital patients are enjoying
the luxury of fried pheasant.
For some time past citizens OF Pike
county have complained to the game
commission of the state that members
of the Blooming Grove Park associa-
ton have been killing game out of sea-
son and removing IT out of the state.
pr. Joseph Kulbrus. secretary OF the
Pennsylvania state Game commission,
of Harrisburg. accompanied by stat"
Game Warden Joseph Rerricr, also OF
Harrisburg. went to Glen Erie this
week. arriving just as Il wagon drove
up from The blooming Grove cluh
house. In IL were y. $. Smith prcsi-
dent of the park ,association: Robert
Bretnpll, of Newark. n. j.: Robert
Post and another son of the late An
drew ]. Post. of Jersey city. and John
kusscr and benjamin kusser, of Tr"n-
ton, n. j.
In their gripsacks were found num-
bcr Of English phcnsants and several
native pheasants. The party was re-
leased upon tho assurance of President
Srllln IIlUl an NpNll dDI't' ~ Nv
proper time to answer to the charges
against them.
They will be prosecuted in the Middle
district of the United states court in
Pennsylvania. under the Lacey law.
The parties will he summoned to np-
pear at either Harrisburg or Scranton
and answer the charges preferred.
The game was seized and shipped to
the I.ackawanna hospital. scranton, in
conformity with the state law. Which
provides that all game seized must be
sent to II hospital for the care OF
wounded soldiers.
The Lacey law recently enacted by
congress prohibits the transportation
of game from one state TO another,
unless properly labeled with the hd-
dress of the shipper and consignee, ana
stating the contents therein.
These Blooming Grove Park sports
men became liable to this United
States law because of their alleged
evasion of its provisions. They also
offended a late law enacted ny the
Pennsylvania Legislature. prohibiting
the removal of game from TINS state.

j. Mulderig's Store.

The clothing store of a. j. MulderiG
g. CO., at the corner of LackaWanna

broken into either Thursday night or
early yesterday morning, by a burg
lar who took Il new outfit for himself
and a number of overcoatS and other
clothing, leaving his old clothes he
hind
lie effected an entrance through a
rear window, which was forced open.
When Mr., Mulderig opened the store
Yesterday morning he found the stock
pretty badly tossed about and thor
ough search revealed the loss OF three
overcoats, two suits and several other
articles of clothing aud furnishins
goods, The burglars old suit of clothes
and a. battered well-won hat were
found on the floor whore they had hecu
east aside to give place to new ra!m-
ant.
Another burglary was committed yes
tcrday morning when Bernard Kang 5
house on River street was broken into
by two men who effected an entrance
in the rear and took a trunk from
one of the rooms upstairs. The trunk
was carried by the burglars TO IA point
near the Lackawanna paint shop where
they began to rifle it,
1T was about o'clock at that time
and the two men We're seen by Fore
man John Cronin, who started their
way. They Immediately ran off and
the trunk was taken into the shop and
police headquarters notified. Mr.. Kaing
notified headquarters shortly after
wards of the burglary and said that
pair of diamond earrings had been
taken, The earrings We're found by
one of the workmen at the shops and
turned over to the police.
No arrests have been made in either

ten new POLICEMEN.
Director of Public Safety Wormser
Will Ask Councils to Provide
for That Number.

Director of Public Safety Wormser
has decided to ask councils, in his csti-
mate of next years expenses for Sutll-
cient funds to pay the salaries of ten
extra patrolmen. He has decided to
make Il fight for this increase in the
police department and is hopeful of
securing councils consent.
1--WE must have at least ten new po-
liccmcn this next year." said he the
other day in conversation with a Tri-
bune man, land ] feel confident coun-
ellis will provide for their salaries. We
should have at least one hundred pa
trolmen instead of forty-tivc and l
would be perfectly justified in asking
for twenty or even thirty this next
year, but l have decided that the best
method is to gradually increase the
membership of the police force by ap-
pointing ten new men each year.
"Forty-tive patrolmen for Il city of
l02, 900 inhabitants, with an area of
nearly twenty square miles, is an alb
surdly small number. This is generally
admitted on all sides but it has been
apparently impossible during the last
few Years to get councils to realize it,"
The director feels that he city
should have sufficiently large police
force of it's own To do away with the
necessity of hiring special officers in
case of the apprehension of disorder
such as has forced him in the present
emergency to swear in the captains
of the several fire companies and a
number of others.
superintendent of Police Roblins has
asked for additional patrolmcn every
year since he has had charge of the
force but councils have put aside his
requests without ceremony.
