RIGHT OF JEWS TO HAVE
PLURAL WIVES INVOLVED
Hebrew Convicted of PoIySamy APP
peals on Ground That the Tai
mud Authorizes Practice,

ODESSA, Dec. 22.-The question
whether Jews are prohibited by their
religion from contracting plural mar
riages has been raised in the case of
a man named Cronstein. convicted OF
polygamy. owing TO his taking advan-
tage Of the Russian law, which recog-
nized the legality of plural marriages
where the religion of the contracting
party authorizes it,
Cronstein appealed. alleging that al
though the practice was discontinued
in Western countries. the Jews were
following the teaching Of Gershon, as
authorized by the Talmud, and the
patriarchs, David. Solomon, ETC.. and
that the practice was now being fol-
lowed by the Israelites in the noun
tains of the. Caucasus. The court al
lowed the appeal and summoned a
rabbi to give expert testimony.

FRENCH PERJURERS FREED
BY COURT OF APPEALS
Men Who Gave False Testimony Con-
cerning Death of Charles Fair
and Wife Released.

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The Court of
Criminal Appeals has reversed the
lower courts decision condemning
Masse and Moranne to three years i'm
prisonment for perjury in the Fair
will case. The Appellate Court sus-
tanned the prisoners plea that as the
Fair case was compromised without
trial in the United States their alleged
false testimony was not used in the
American courts and therefore worked
no injury.
The San Francisco call., 1904-12-23

Masse and Moranne testified that
they saw Mr.. and Mrs. Fair thrown
from their automobile. other testi-
mony showed that they were not pres
ent. but that they so represented them
selves, hoping to get a trip to America.
They were sentenced to three years
Imprisonment each.

Bay shooting one may 60 to Southampton
on the southern line OF the railroad, or to
Riverhead or Jamesport, by the central line
For shooting in Gardeners Bay go to Green
port, by the central line.
The ducks may be divided into three classes
for the purposes of the shooter In the
first class let him include those that are re-
garded as plenty. such as redhead. black
ducks, widgeon, springtails, broadbill and
rudy ducks. In the second class, birds that
are rather scarce are canvasbacks whistlers,
clippers, shelldrakes, swamp shelldrakes,
mallards and wood ducks called In summer
blue winged teaD. The third class includes
birds that are vaheless for food, such as
sea crows, coots, hell divers, looms and
cormorants.'
The law against spring shooting OF ducks
and geese makes 1t probable that sports
men will bag many geese this fall and winter,
for some geese remained in Long Island
waters through the summer, and these,
not having been frightened, may be ap-
preached with comparative ease.
For shooting in Long Island Sound,
let the sportsman choose any village from
Cold Spring Harbor to Wading River on
the Wadlng River branch Of the Long ISL
and Railroad, or from Mattituck to Green
port on the Central division, which runs
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-09-25

along the shorter leg Of the frog after leav.
ing Riverhead. .-.
On the Sound the shooting usually en-
joyed is Of two kinds: sailing, which has
already been described. and "stringing
out. This latter method requires the CO.
operation Of a number of parties.
They go early to q point past which
ducks are known to fly at daybreak, and
entering small rowboats or ducking boats,
literally string out from the point, anchor
ing their boats a little out Of gunshot from
each other. AS the focks fly past tn Q
spOrtsn1en obtain very excellent shots.
The only drawback to that character
Of shooting is that it lasts only during
the early flight Of the birds. But II the
thoughtful sportsman has provided him
self with a sailboat he may enjoy sail
ing for the remainder Of the day.
State Game Protector John r. Over
ton, who resides at Port Jefferson, spends
much time with his assistants in prevent
ing enthusiastic hunters, whose zeal out
strips their regard for law, from shoot
ing out Of season and so spelling the sport
for the real sportsmen. The work of
these men has been very apparent during
the past two or three years by the very
excellent shooting that has resulted from
their efforts.
Singular as II may appear, several large
hocKs of ducks have been seen in ponds
near the Court House in Long Island City
within the past few days Protection OF
the birds has made that possible.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1904-09-25

mains good during the season. notwith-
standing the fact that many Hocks Of birds
are frightened away by the sportsmen's
guns, for there are plenty of ducks and the
bay Is large.
For the old and well informed sportsman
who regards duck shooting as one OF the
best forms Of sport afforded this region
enough has been said when he Is told the
actual existing conditions that thousands
OF ducks await the crack Of his gun when
the law allows him to shoot But there
are many sportsmen who, while expert
enoed in other lines. know nothing of the
fine sport OF duck shooting. To these a
few words may not be amiss.
Guides should be engaged in advance.
They receive about IS day for point
shooting and IS day where battery is
furnished. The guide furnishes decoys
and matched shooting boats. taking the
sportsman to the grounds in his sailboat.
It Is not necessary to visit the starting
point In order to secure the services Of a
guide. A letter sent to the postmaster Of
any Of the villages named below with the
request that he hand it to some guide, will
answer.
A twelve or ten bore gun, breechloading
Of course, and smokeless powder cartridges
