Looks Like Taggart Unanimously.
(By he Associated Press.)

New York, July 22.-The announce
ment from Washington that Senator
German had reiterated his declara
ton that he could not be chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee has simplified the situation, ac-
cording to the views of those who are
earnestly urging Thomas Taggart, of
Indiana, and they express the belief
that he will be unanimously chosen
by the National Committee next Tues
day. When the latest declaration of
Senator German was communicated
to Mr.. Taggart today he showed that
the news was gratifying, although it
conceded with his previous informa-
ton. John w. Kern. of Indiana. ex-
pressed his satisfaction that the talk
about Senator German would now be
set at rest, and that it removed any
doubt about the choice of Mr.. Tag
cart.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, has been
one of the most insistent Taggart men.
He has had assurances from Senator
German, both before and after the
convention that the Maryland Senator
would not accept the Craftsmanship.
Moreover, the Texas Senator takes
the position that the West should not
be ignored and points out that both
candidates are from the East; that the
temporary and permanent chairman
of the national convention and the
chairman of the committee on plat
form were from the South, while no
recognition whatever was given the
middle and far western States. Under
these conditions, Senator Bailey
thinks, the least that can be done is
to give the West the Craftsmanship OF
the National Committee.
Mr. Taggart came over from Long
Island today and went to the Hoff-
man House, where he received a
number of callers.

Theu shoot pheasants.

Hunters, according to all accounts
are laboring under a false impression
with reference to the China pheasant
law. AS a result of the many articles
published on the subject a confused
idea seems to have gained credence
because the new law that the legisla
ture attempted to pass failed of en-.
actment, that there is no law whatev-
err on the subject, and that pheasants
may be shot at any time. The notion
is, however, incorrect. The statute
stands now just as it did before the
legislature attempted the enactment of
the law prohibiting killing entirely for
two years. That is to say, the old law
Is in full force and effect. and under II
pheasants cannot be lawfully shot un.
til October LIST, which is the date on
which the so days open season begins.
It is said that in various parts, la
boring under the false impression,
hunters are shooting young p~heasants
freely. The game officers have heard
of the matter, and are taking steps to
begin prosecutions. This note of warn
ing Is sounded in order that-all may be
properly informed as to the law.
