FISHING IN ARIZONA
Methods OF Evading the Stringent Game
Laws Of the State.

Methods OF Evading the Stringent Game
Laws of the State.
The fish and game law Of the Ter
ritory will have to be remodeled BY
the next Legislature in order to make
it little more liberal. AS it stands
now John Stroehle and several other
sportsmen are technical violators Of 1t.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Stroehle
and several others were fishing below.
the city. Mr.. Stroehle was armed with
a fish spear with which he intended
to violate the law. but he never got
the chance.
Willie be was wading about In the
water looking for victim monster
fish rushed by and Mr.. Stroehle hurled
his spear and missed. The water was
not very deep. and Mr.. Stroehle
seized the fish by the tail and held on.
Just thens'a. small boy with a pitch
fork cams splashins through the water
and set up a claim to the fish. Said
he: II been chasin' that blamed fish
all afternoon and had him run down
when you ketched him. You couldn't
never "a done it if he'd been fresh"
The violent and successful seizure OF
that fish by the tail is as technical o.
violation of the law az if Mr.. Stroehle
'.ad used dynamite, for, according to
the statutes, fish may be taken only
with "a hook and line" Stroehle was
provided with none of these lawful
means Of catching fish.
The same day Deputy Sheriff Wayne
Davis was fishing at the same place.
He had a hook and Line, and it was a
very nice and expensive line. too nice
to be spoiled by exposure to wet wealth
er. Mr.. Davis also had pitchfork.
with which he jabbed at a fish. with
the result that the tines Of the fork
sraddlrd him and held him DOWN
against the sand until Mr.. Davis could
insert his fingers in the gills and ex-
tract him from the water. Though
the fish was not actually punctured by
the fork, still here WAS a violation OF
the law, for the hook and line haf
played no part In the capture. Ii Mr.
Davis, after catching the fish, had in
serted the hook in his mouth, the form
of the statute would have been COM
piled with. /
Soon after that Mr.. Davis caught an
other fish by the simple process Of fall
ing on him. The law is silent regard
ing this method Of catching fish. but
the act might be brought under the
head of cruelty to animals. The dep
uty sheriff weighs something like 700
manifestations Republican.

arrested one night by watchlnan in
the streets Of Paris. and was taken the
following morning before the lieuten-
ant of police, who haughtily interro-
gated him concerning his business or

BREAD AND BRAINS
Education OF the Community Through
the Efficiency of the Sch ools.

Education OF the Community Through
the Efficiency of the Schools.
The public school is not to be regard
ed as private snap"
The public school is-or ought to be-
a public concern operated for the bene-
fit Of the public.
The latter is the conception Of an
Iowa educator and publicist-Cap. E.
Miller, superintendent Of schools OF
Keokuk County. who is making the
schools of his county really public.
He does this by enIisting the schools
in the work OF the community. Tor in
stance:
Miller got a jeWeler at the county
seat to offer a prize to the school girl
In the county who would make the best
loaf of bread and bring it to county
exhibition of out of school work.
Immediately bread making was ad-
vanced to a fine art in Keokuk County.
Mothers were consulted. Hundreds OF
girls got busy
Each school district had an exhibl-
ton, and the best loaves were selected
for the county exhibition.
The result?
The homes of the county never had
such bread on their tables generally.
Scientific bread making worked won
ders. The contest did for the villages
and farms what the cooking school
does for the city-only more.
Girls who had never before given a
thought to bread making saw in it q
worthy accomplishment. Some of them
have subscribed for cooking magazines
and have bought cook books. They
are preparing to make themselves good
housekeepers.
And. not least Of all
The public schools of the county have
become linked fast to the homes of the
county.
Mr.. Miller has done a like thing in
offering prizes to the boys for the best
corn. ETC., and has them. studying along
the lines of scientific agriculture.
And withal the schools themselves
have been greatly improved-not Dy
the study Of fads, but facts.
This educator has pulled himself out
OF the worn rut of pedagogics. He las
vitalized the schools. He has made
them what they should be ideally-'ire
centres of communal life and progress,

BOYCOTT MOVEMENT GROWS
Chinese Guilds Prosecuting system
attic Campaign Against Amer
lean Goods.

VICTORIA, r. c., Aug. 2.-Advices from
Canton state that when a delegate of the
Chinese boycott movement against America
was explaining to students in Canton
schools the nature of the agitation he
pointed out that many students wore
tunics made in American cloth. These were
at once torn from the backs OF the
students.
Various vernacular Chinese papers have
given notice that no American business
notice or any news regarding Americans
was to be published after July Is.
Although arrivals from China state that
the boycott against American goods is not
a serious menace, the newspapers are fined
with reports Of anti-AmeriCan meetings and
gatherings of guild and bodies of students
TO further the movement The Pekin guild
has drawn up a special paper. and millions
Of copies are to he circulated to give pub
liCity to the boycott. The guild, with rep
rcsentatives from every Chinese province
but Fukein, has made an agreement that
no member will purchase American goods,
on pain of large fine. A mass meeting Of
delegates from twenty-six Chinese colleges
was held at Tien Tsn to further the boy
cott when 1t decided to appoint a num-
Der of students from each school TO travel
and lecture upon the boycott. Large num-
bers of placards are being posted through
out southern China the language of which
is strongly anti-foreign.

ZIONIST CONGRESS is DIVIDED
Socialist Section VIII Look for Colon

BASEL, Switzerland, Aug. 2.--The Zionist
congress today enthusiastically received
Max Nordau's eloquent felicitation of
Switzerland upon the celebration of the
anniversary Of the foundation of the con-
federation.
memorial was presented from the grand
lodge OF the Sons of Israel in the United
States saying that while they were not
afHliated with Zionism they were prepared
to cooperate in the establishment of a
Jewish fatherland.
Rabbi Reines, leader of the Misrahist
element. declared that his group adhered
to the views of the congress.
Several German delegates requested and
obtained the consent of the congress to
present arguments favoring Jewish colon
ization outside of Palestine. A request
from Rev. DIR. Magnes of Brooklyn, N,
Y. for a ruling of the chair as to whether
Sundays decision favorable to Palestine
was binding on all the delegates brought
out an affirmative decision by the chair
man.
Meanwhile the socialist section definitely
seeded from the orthodox Zionists, their
object being to find suitable territory apart
from Palestine for the foundation of a
colony.
The congress after accepting reports of
committees on proposed alterations in the
statutes. was brought to a close this after
noon with the election Of the executive
committee, on which DIR. Henry Frieden-
wald Levin Epstein, Cyro Sulzberger,
Zolotkoff Horowitch, DR.. Magnes and DR..
Harry, represent the United States DR..

delegates, amid a scene of enthusiasm, pre-
sented to the congress the Zionist national

companies of New York are to be investl-
gated by the insurance commissioners Of
Tennessee, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Min
nesota as a result of a meeting of eight

CUBANS FAIL TO RECIPRoCATE
Probability that Congress VIII Adj
journ without Action on Tariffs
Favorable to United states.

HAVANA Aug at appears to be
tacitly understood among the senators that
the proposition to continue the sessions of
congress until November, to which both
houses originally agreed shall be practically
a dead letter. and that no more sessions
shall be held except to pass the soldiers
pay bill and possibly a few others. The
moderates recently have been most active
in preventing quorums in the senate, be-
cause of the liberal bills now before that
body The situation is disappointing to
Americans interested in the rice bill who
had relied upon President Palma and the
moderate senators to put the bill through
the senate. Instead the liberal leaders APP
pear to be this bills best friends, while
the senators favorable to the administra-
ton are either lukewarm or opposed to it.
The friends of the bill cite a final ar
gument the fact that the United States is
called upon to face deficit of s25,OOO,OOO
with s14,OO0OOO loss on customs receipts on
account of Cuban reciprocity, this being
offset only in a measure by the $7,COO,O00 in
crease in exports from the United States to
Cuba during the first year of reciprocity.
The Americans contend that this, to-
gether with the refusal of Cuba to pass a
measure giving the United States a fair
share of the benefits of reciprocity will
prove a strong factor at Washington
AGAINST the continuation of the reciprocity
treaty, especially as Cuba has not changed
its tariffs in the direction of making its
reciprocity arrangements more favorable to
the United States.
A few sugar producers are apprehensive
of the possibility that the American mar
ket for Cuba's sugar will be cut off as a
result Of Cuba's Indifference toward the
rice measure. The majority of the sem
ators, however appear to regard the mat
ter as of small importance as affecting
reciprocal relations between the United
States and Cuba.
Cubans do not take readily to American
rice and they believe it would be impossi-
bile for the United States to supply the
Cuban demands for the coming two years.
In any event, this and the pending presi-
Dental campaign give basis for post
nonement of action on the measure.
The house of representatives on June 2S
by a vote of "a to 10 passed the rice bill,
which it was expected would open the
Cuban market to American rice and en-
/ courage the culture of rice in Cuba.

HENRI WATTERSoN RETURNS
Kentucky Colonel Says European
Aristocracy is of Much Better
Grade Than the American.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Comparing the
American and European types Of aristoc-
racy, Colonel Henri Watterson of Louis
Vile, Ky, who returned today on the
steamer Oceanic from trip to Europe,
said:
Il observed European aristocracy pretty
closely while l was over there and I have
arrived at the conclusion that foreign aris-
tocracy is OF a much better grade than the
American article. There. aristocracy means
lineage and brains. Here,-well, it ranges
chiefly from bad whisley to Standard Oil"
Mr.. Watterson said that he had read the
accounts of the scandal in the Department
Of Agriculture, and said:
have often wondered how so many scien-
tifc men connected with the government
at comparatively small salaries could live
so we'll. II only goes to show that the
college man is not a success in politics.

May Prosecute Some Equitable
Officers.

NEW YORK, Aug 2-District Attorney
Jerome told Justice Davis in the criminal
branch of the New York state supreme
court today that he might need a special
grand jury to investigate the Equitable
Life Assurance societys affairs before the
legislative committee has finished its in
vestigation of life insurance conditions
which is soon to begin. The court has
been kept sitting to await possible action
by Mr., Jerome. He informed it today that
he was not certain whether he would want
the special jr y or not and would not ask
for it now, but requested the court to ad-
journ to September II, which it did.
In the meantime. he said. any justice of
the court could grant the order for a spe-
cial jury.
In making the request for an adjourn
ment Mr., Jerome said:
AS a result of the Investigations of the
state superintendent of insurance which
called attention TO the conditions of the
Equitable company, l have discovered in
the investigation an extraordinary con
dition of affairs which affects not only this
country but all parts of the world. Trans
actions have been of such a character on
their face that they require investigation
by the district attorney Of this county. The
state superintendent Of insurance is not
a prosecuting officer and the investigation
he conducted was not with a view of find
ing whether the company had conducted its
business in a criminal manner

test for Export Grain Traffic

New York Has Had More Than Its

Declares Against Re
bates.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2-speaking Of the
fight between the railroads operating to
New York and the lines to the gulf of Mex
leo ports fo~ export business, President
Stuyvesant Fish Of the Illinois Central
railroad, who was in Chicago today said
that the Illinois Central was in the export
business to stay. I'VE shall attempt to in
fiuence all the export business possible via
New Orleans" said President Fish. Last
year we got most of the traffic that be-
longed to US, and this year we shall get
more of it from present indications
large part Cf the west, we contend. is nat
urally tributary to the Gulf of Mexico ports,
particularly New Orleans. While | would
do nothing to injure New York, my home
city, believe that it has had more than its
legitimate share of the export grain traffic
from the west"
In discussing the work of the Interstate
Commerce commission, President Fish de-
Cared that he was in favor OF making that
body a court of record, capable of enfor-
cling the rulings, or passing the strongest
kind Of legislation tending to wipe out every
known form of rebate that bears the ear
marks of discrimination. He added:
Additional laws to prevent rate discrim-
ination cannot be made too strong Ihe
midnight tariff may be eliminated by max
ing It necessary to file notice of a reduction
in rates at least ten days before such re-
duCtion is 20 be made But the govern
ment should not attempt to go into the
business of naming rates that is of vesting
itself with original rate making power
! Shippers do not want that because II
would mean in the end distance tariffs
and that would eliminate competition, not
only among the railroads but between pro.
ducers, shippers and communities 1t would
also mean that in a short time the gov
ernment must fix the price of all Commodi
