NEW YORK HORROR
Startling Revelations Made at
Slooum Inquest.
BILLS FOR PREsERyERs ALTERED

No Fire Drill Ever Held on the Vessel,
Hose Worthless, and First Mate Had
No Lieense-Nesrly a Hundred More
Bodies Found.
New York. June 21.-Startllng evi-
dence was given at the opening Of the
inquest which is to fix the responsible
lty for the burning OF the General Slo-
cum, with its attendant loss OF nearly
a thousand lives. That there is every
need to make the investigation ruth
lessly searching was manifest before
the first witness had left the stand. IL
was shown that the bills OF the KniclS-
erbocker company. 10 which both the
Slocum AL the Grand Republic be-
long, had been tampered with since
the disaster.
In bills showing the purchase Of life
preservers there were erasures and al
terations. apparently made with the
object Of showing that the Slocum had
been adequately provided with life
preservers. Frank A. Barnahy, the
president Of the company, said he did
not know why OF by whom the alleged
alterations had been made.
Three members of the crew swore
they never had known Of a fire drill
being held on the Slocum. In support
Of their statement II was said the fire
hose was so kinked from disuse that Il
could not be Strengthened out and
burst az the first rush Of water
At least one fragrant violation Of the
steamboat inspection law was estab-
llshed. This was In the case Of First
Mate Flanagan. who testified that al
though he had served in that capacity
IN the Slocum for two seasons he had
never been licensed by the inspectors.
rhe law states that any one serving
as a master. mate, engineer or pilot on
vessel, steam or sail, Of over 700
tons must have a license, and the pen
atty for an infraction Of this law Is q
fine Of 800 for each offense.

QUAIL ARE SCARCE.
Many Of Them Killed Last Winter

Many of Them Killed Last Winter
 Very Stringent Game Laws.
 The game law went of on quail, part ridges, gray squirrels and woodcock last Saturday, and many huntsmen be- gan hunting on the very first day.
 Owing to the unusually severe wealth. Ter last winter it is said that quail will not be very plentiful. Toward the mid de of winter farmers reported that they picked up hundreds of them which had probably either starved or been frozen to death. The large number of dead birds found all through this vicinity at that time brought forth the belief by hunters that this seasons sport would not be so good as other years. Partridge are also said to have suf- cred more or less rom the cold and the lack of food following the heavy snows. very favorable. The thickness of the foliage is. however, an objection. The leaves are not often so late in falling and they may be said to have hardly started to desert the trees as yet. This is particularly disadvantage to squir- rel hunters, as it is difficult to see a squirrel in a tree even when it Is naked Of leaves, to say nothing of trying to locate him when the foliage offers him almost impenetrable refuge,
 Hunters are again renewing their dis pleasures at the hunting law passed at the last session of the legislature, and many of them vow that they will put up fight in the next session to repeal lit. It is generally regarded as more strict than any hunting law the state has ever had, as 1t has trespass fea- ture that is wrought iron in compost tion.
 Formerly tue law allowed, practically, that If an owner did not post his land isit was open to the hunter, but to- day there Is no necessity for the owner to post his property and if a hunter wants to invade the premises he must get permission from the owner. The crossing of the grounds with gun and with dogs is taken as evidence in itself that party is there to hunt, and the owner of the land is authorized to make the arrest of the offender without pro- curing any warrant.
 Among further game restrictions enl- bodied in the law is the prohibiting of Ithe sale of game! part of the law which remains in effect until October |, 1907. A person under this clause, who Iis caught selling game or trying to sell it is liable to a fine of fifty dollars or @ sentence of thirty days in jail or both. Only i've cartridges can be lawfully killed in one day and the expert hunter must limit his score for the entire sea son to thirty-six.
 A concerted move is already on foot to petition the next legislature to re- peal the game law or remedy it so that the hunters liberty may be somewhat Hess trammeled. Lawyers will be en- gagged to see the sportsmens interest through, and members of the fraternity say that the legislature of 1903 may have caught them mapping, but that the off-guard act will never be done by them again

Continued from Seventh Page.i
 one can hardly appreciate the extent of this comedy until they witness 1t, It is not to the lines of the play but to the wonderful mechanical and scenic effects and the clever gymnastic work of the brothers, who continue the life Of the performance, aided by a well balanced company that the success of the company is attribuated. From the rise of the first to the fall of the last curtain everybody is working and working hard. It is go from beginning to end, and so humorous are some of the situations that the audience shows disposition to resent the excellence of the performance for, laughing to- wards the close suggests the explosive sounds from tired lungs and threats. In this seasons production there is great improvement over their past work showing a desire on the part of the Brothers Byrne to keep pantomimic comedy up to it's original attractive ness, and they succeed In giving very entertaining and catchy performance.
 Taken in it's entirety The New Eight Bells, is one of the greatest productionc of pantomirnic comedy this country has ever seen.
