WILL FIGHT NEW GAME BILL.
IT'S . Foolish and Worrisome Measure
That wainwright Fathers. Dealers Say.


That wainwright Fathers. Dealers Say.
Poultry and game men In the Washing
ton Market district said yesterday with
out exception that they were surprised to
hear that q bill had been introduced at Al
bany by Assemblyman Wainwright Of
westohester amending the existing game
law 40 that game dealers may not hold
n storage during the close season any
stock not disposed OF at the opening Of
the close season. They slso said that
when the game dealers generally had learned
Of the purport Of this bill they would un-
doubtedly begin q hght against It.
There is no sense In any such bill a. that
said a game dealer. we succeeded in
getting bill through at Albany last year
which provided that We might give bond
sufficient to make US responsible and then
hold game In storage during the close sea-
son. OF course that provision applied only
to such game a. had an open season 1t
helped TO correct a great Injustice, be-
cause before that We had always been
obliged to destroy q lot Of game, when.
ever the close season began or sell It out
at ruinous price.
you see We always have moro or leas
game on hand when the close season begins.
What is more, a number Of game dealers,
thinking that the amendment Of 1907 would
stand, have gone ahead and put oold stor-
age plants in operation just for game pr--
poses. II this amendment d cut out Of
the law by the Wainwright bill they will
be hit hard. You can depend on It that We
will hght this new BILL
Mr.. Wainwright's proposed amendment
was introduced last Wednesday and was
referred to the Committee on Fisheries
and Game. 1t merely cuts out the amend
ment Of 1902 and proposes nothing In place
Of that amendment.

PROCTOR AND KENTUCKY SCORED
President of CNl Service Commission
Cets \ Letter From an Irate lndlanan.

WAsHrNoroN, Feb. 3.-The Civil Service
Comm ssion recently decided that a man
from Indiana who had been convicted OF
assault and battery and sent to Jail for six
months was not q proper person to have
in the classified service, and notified him
to that feet, although he had made high
percentage in his examination as law
clerk John X. Proctor Of Kentucky, the
president of the commission, thought the
decision was rather hard on the man from
Indiana, but was overruled by the votes
Of his colleagues. Messrs. Foulke and Gar
field. But he Is sorry now he didn't vote
tho other way. for he received a letter to-
day from the irate Hoosier. containing re-
fiections on the character of kertrskians
In general and Mr.. Proctor In particular.
The portion of the letter that interested
Mr. Proctor follows:
II an assault and battery renders one In.
competent to serve the Government in a civil
capacity. why does not your manua, say soy
great injustice to say that they cannot take
the examination after they have already

is this stringent rule applied because the

broke out into their frog chorus and at
the same time dropped an enormous blue
banner that completely hid the stage from

OF two and three-auarters persons to each
