GAME LAW AMENDMENT
Licenses for All Non Resident
Hunters Will Likely Be De-
manded.

Special TO THE Jersey city News.'.1
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. u, 1906
Amendments to the fish and game laws
viii probably be proposed BY the Fish
and Game Commission dnring the pres
enf term Of the Legislature, owing to
pressure being brought ON the commits
sion in various parts Of the State
The statement is made here that to
Attorney General Robert H. McCarter
viii be handed number of the pro-
posed amendments, 50 that the commits
sion will have knowledge Of their legality
before Introduction into the House
Among the amendments, it is said an
effort will be made to pass one to re-
qulre non-residents of the State to take
out licenses before being allowed to fish
or punt ank kind of game in the State.
Another measure suggested is to extend
the restriction against killing deer from
next November for another year. At the
present time there is a restriction upon
deer The number of the animals in the
State is thought not yet to be great
enough to justify the killing of them 1t
is proposed also that no deer under two
years old be killed. and that dogs be not
allowed to run free through woods where
there are deer
Restrictions are also suggested as to
the number Of birds Of various kinds that
may be killed, including limitation to
twenty five wild fowl by each person and
forty railbirds, instead Of seventy-five a
day, as the law permits at present.
Another demand made by the uDat-
tached hunter is that the season for hunt
ing in game preserves that are controlled
by private parties be placed under the
same limitations as the ordinary hunter.
Another important alteration proposed
in the law will be one to give jurisdic-
ton in cities, in game cases, to justices
of the peace as well as to district courts,
as the law allows at present. Some op-
position viii probably be shown to this
feature on account Of the persistent ef-
forts by the upper courts of the State to
place as many limitations as possible
upon the jurisdiction of juestices of the
peace instead of extending them.

DECISION MAY COME TODAY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan 21,
l905.--Another conference viii be held
today in the general offices of the Penn
sylvania Railroad between Grand Mas
ter P. 81. Morrissey, of the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen. and General Man
aged Atterbury, of the railroad COM
pany, with view to averting the strike
which the trainmen voted to have un-
less the present dispute between the rail
road and the freight brakemen could be
settled to the satisfaction of the Broth
erhood's Board of Adjustment. The
frss conference between Messrs. After
burs and AIorrissey was held late yes
terday afternoon. With Mr.. Morrissey
were Vice-Grand Master Lee and the
seven members Of the Board Of Adjust
ment. Everybody but Morrissey was al
ready familiar with the situation.
Morrissey came on from Cleveland to
try to avert a strike, and. of course, to
get any concessions he could from the
railroad for the dissatisfied bralSemen.
At the conclusion Of last evenings two
and half hours conference Messrs.
Morlsssey and Atterbury gave out fhe
following joint statement:
At the meeting today the situation
was again gone over No new proposit-
ions We're made and the situation stands
practically as it was. Another confer
enee will be held The conference today
was largely to enable Mr., Morrissey to
faaniliarize hinlself more thoroughly with
the questions at issue from the com
pany's standpoint"
1t is believed that the railroad will
make some concessions to the men in the
way of letting their time as fremen count
in the record toward promotion to engi-
neership, and that the men will eventual
~ be satisfied to receive the So or Sc a
month extra pay they would get under
the company's proposal to pay the brake
man fireman's wages when actually en-
gagged in helping a fireman That COM
pensation would be more than a forward
brakeman gets on any other railroad in
the country.

A FINE STAG
Local No. 347 Of the Bar.
tenders Union Makes
Merry in Bayonne--
Seymour & Heavy
Cheered.

Local No. BAT, of the Bartenders
League, held big and enjoyable stag at
the West Side Athletic Clubhouse, in
West Eleventh street, Bayonne, last
night. The big gymnasium hall was pret-
ty well filed with bartenders from Jer-
sey City. Hoboken and Bayonne and in
vited guests. Among the latter We're
former Mayor Egbert Seymour and John
J. Heavy, rival aspirants for the Demo
cratic shrievalty nomination. Former
Freeholder James Kelly. who is in the
same race, and John Kaiser who will
in all probability be the Republican nom
inee for Sheriff. were also invited to be
present, but did not appear. Messrs.
Seymour and Heavy both made speeches.
The stag was, however. solely in the in
terests of organized labor, and no allu-
sion was made by any Of the speakers
to politics. 1t was a mere matter OF
courtesy ON the part of the Local that
a number of prominent prospective POI
litical candidates recognized as friends Of
organized labor should be invited, and
a matter of courtesy also that they were
called upon for few remarks. Both
were well received. Mr.. Seymour was
in his own bailiwick, 50 to speak, and
received quite an ovation. He made
quite an extended address. But Mr.
Heavy, who followed him in short
speech, got also splendid welcome.
Both men have declared their friendship
for organized labor. Mr.. Seymour spoke
at length Of its benefits, and Mr.. Heavy
indorsed everything that Mr.. seymour
said.
The object of Local No. s47 of the
Bartenders' League is to organize more
fully the bartenders of Bayonne and
thus strengthen the Local. which has
Jurisdiction in Bayonne. Men prominent
in organized labor circles were present
and made short addresses. These in
cluded Cornelius Ford, president Of the
State Federation and of the Central
Labor Union. James J. O'Gonnor, presi-
dent of Local No BAT of the Bartenders'
League, Secretary James j. McGrath,
of the same local and President James
Muldoon and William Cavanaugh, busi-
ness agent Of the Walters Union. The
addresses We're all interspersed With
songs, stories, etc, by clever entertainers,
including John Lohman, known as He
brew Jack" with troop Of six from
Brooklyn, and Mr.. Gross. The songs
were well sung and the stories well told,
and as there was no lack of refresh
ments. scid or otherwise, rsal good
time was enjoyed by all the participants.
Frank L. Barker, business agent of Lo-
cal BAT, presided over the stag. He is
himself a good entertainer Among the
guests interested purely in the organized
labor feature of the affair, was George
Nelson, the veteran member of Typo
gfaphieal Union No. o. Tie rcfresh-
ments were served in professional style.

DUFFIELD'S BLuNDER.
G. Q. P. Bosses Who Were Not
Consulted About the equal
Tax Bill Regard 1t
With Scorn.


TRENTON, Jan. u, 1905.-Assem-
blynan Duffield's taxation bill was in
trodaeed in the House last Monday
night, and bids fair to stir up a lot of
trouble in the G. o. P. around the State.
The leaders are already at cross pur-
poses over it. Many prominent Repub-
hcans regard it as a tactical blunder to
have presented such bill before the re-
port Of the special tax commission was
heard
It is said the bill was the result Of a
conference between the new Governor
and some Of the State leaders. at which
Mr.. Stokes insisted that the measure
should be introduced at once 1t is re-
ported that some of the leaders present
thought that it would not be a wise
course, as it might be construed in some
quarters as reflection upon the COM
President Bradley, leader in the SEN
ate, who represents the South Jersey
sentiment, thinks the Introduction of the
bill at this time was blunder. Speaker
Avis, on the other hand, who also halls
from South Jersey, says the Dufield bill
is all right and that its Introduction is
proper.
1T is the Republican platform en-
bodied in BILL said Speaker Avis. .'and
merely shows that the Republicans are
going to keep their pledges to the people.
We promised to equalize taxation by tax
ing second-elass railroad property at To-
cal rates for local purposes. and no one
that know Of has any desire or inten-
ton Of eyading that promise
Mr.. Duffield's bill is timely and is
not discourteous to the equal taxation
commission. The party was pledged in
its platform to do what the bill provides
regardless of what the commission might
recommend.
Senator Bacheller Of Essex was not
consulted regarding the Dudieid bill. He
thinks its Introduction was serious mis-
take.
Some Of the Essex assemblymen, it is
said. were taken into the secret and some
were not. Lehlbach was consulted and
Colby was not
It is claimed that the haste in intro
ducing the BILL which was the FIRST on
calendar. was due to desire to get
ahead of the Democrats, who. it was ex-
peeted, would present an equal taxation
bill at this session.
A member of the house states that the
Duffield, bill was MOT caucus measure.
and more than half the members of the
legislature knew nothing about it until
Duffield offered it and had it put on the
calendar.
Il don't like to be too critical he
stated. but am afraid there will be a
lot Of foolish things done this year The
fool killer may have his hands full before
the session is over.
n one seems TO think that the Dufield
bill will pass in its present shape. Lead
er Duffield suggests that the bill may be
amended or that substitute bill may be
offered after the equal tax commission
has made its report.

MERELY
MENTIONED

In accordance with the wish of the
Democratic organization, as reflected by
Robert Davis, the Board of Ereeholders
yesterday afternoon appointed George
II, Donaldson County Superintendent to
fill the vacancy caused By the death of
Christopher p. Smith, who had held the
Office for several terms The appoint
ment was made without friction, all of
the other aspiraats for the place having
bowed to the VIII of the party leader.
Donaldson's appointment was never il
doubt. He was one Of the first to enter
the race. and his candidacy received the
necessary approval. There was no
chance for amy Of the other aspirants,
nominations being closer, as It We're.
with the mention Of Donaldson's name.
This method of making appointments is
condemned by many Democrats. 1t sa-
Yors too much Of favoritism.
Be this as it may, Donaldson's ap-
pointment seems 10 meet with popular
approval. His Democracy is unquestion-
ed,and his ability TO fill the position can
not be disputed He has been hard
working Democrat for many years, and
this is the first time his services have
been adequately rewarded. Trained in
the game Of politics BY the late Sheriff
William Heller, he knows the value Of
making friends and consequently he has
few enemies. Naturally there are some
members of the party who think this i'm
portant Office should have been given to
some Democrat more closely identified
with the organization. In answer 10 this
contention Donaldson's friends say that
fault would have been found no matter
who had been chosen, and that, mas
much as his candidacy had the sanction
Of Mr.. Davis, there is no room for com
plant on that score.

Republicans want Macarthur and no 9th

the other night when the ward associa-
tion reelected him as it's representative

ty Committee. Word has been passed
along that County Chairman Fry won't

and horse owners TO take part. Among others,
the government was invited to enter cavalry
horses in a special military steeplechase. The
response from the government instant and
willing. The War Department replied. through

department approved of the and would
offer every encoura cement to officers to take
part This is believed to be the first time that
the government has officially sanctioned horse

be glad to enter their horses in the race if they
had suitable mounts had time to get them in
shape for the meet. but that the notice was too
