Interesting Meeting at Outing

An organized move to sustain the

and resolution calling upon other rep
resentative organizations of the COM

duced by President Tillinghast. at the
conclusion of a fine banquet served in
faultless style by Manager Lee Of the
Outing club addressed the press club
in one of the best informal talks the
members have been treated to.
The striking growth of the power of
the press and the obligations IL entails
formed the theme of the speaker. His
reference to his audience as the press
gang" was a characteristic Illustration
OF the fear in which newspapers are
held by those whose acts are at vari-
ance with the interests of their fellow
men or those who through timidity or
other reason fear criticism. The great
power the press has acquired so sud-
denly. the speaker said, was liable to
abuses. in fact. abuses are inevitable
where pure commercialism is the DOM
inant motive.
If newspapers appeal to the human
ity side of mankind, they will continue
to WELD their present influence or an
even greater than they do now If
1However, they appeal to the mob spirit.
they must surely fail in time to be
looked to as reliable molders Of public
opinion. Prof Griggs placed newspa-
pers in the same light as statesmen.
Those of the latter. he said, who have
| refused to give the people all they de-
manded. but who fearlessly used their
judgment with reference to future eff
feet. have earned the gratitude of their
fellow men and their names are her
aided down the ages. On the other
hand. those who have appealed TO
prejudices, fostering them and pander-
ing TO them-giving the people all they
asked. and more. have been snuffed out
| absolutely when their bones were in
| TERED, if not before.

Prof. Griggs was elected to honor
airy membership in the club, and the
members later became the guests of

DEER IN THE ADIRONDACKS.
LOIS Carcasses sent out Last Season
Cause OF Mortality Among the 4 nlmals

ALBANY, Feb. 5--Forest. Fish and Game
Commissioner Middleton has made care
full investigation In regard TO the condition
OF the wild animals of the Adrondacks,
and particularly in relation to the increased
mortality among the deer and has made a
special report on the subject.
Although the hunters had poor season
in the Adirondacks in 1901, the aggregate
number Of deer killed was greater than
during any other season within the last
five years, except that Of 1903. The total
number of carcasses sent out by the express
COMPANIES during the last season was ,els
In 1908 it was 1901, in 1902 il was 1854. in
1901 it was l.062 and in 1900 it was 02o
The report says that the investigation
made as to the mortality reported among
the deer shows that although a number
Of deer died In the Adirondacks and on
Long Island during the winter. there was o
general epidemic and no widespread de-
struction among the herds Poor food
supply and iuke disease are given as the
cause OF the mortality.
The report says that the condition Of the
elk in the Adirondacks is salts 'aotory. and
that unless many more moose are liberated
there the experiment Of restocking the
forests with this animal cannot be con-
sidered success The commission has
secured three pairs Of beavers and one
additional male with the $500 appropria-
ton provided by the last Legislature

nook PILOTS STIRRED UP
Over Bill, Fathered by Tugboat Men. AM.
Ishlng Compulsory PilotaEe In This State.

The New York and Sandy Hook pilots
many Of whom reside in Staten Island
and New jersey, are much exercised over
the bill introduced in ;he Legislature at
Albany. which. II it should become law,
would abolish compulsory pilotage in this
State.
The bill, 1t is said, was drafted and intro
duced at the suggestion OF tugboat owners
and licensed captains Of tugs, who assert
that they are being Disseminated against.
The bitter feeling which has existed
between tugboat men and tho Sandy Hook
pilots for some time has been intensified
during the past year because. IL is alleged
by the tugboat men. the pilots, since they
have added the two powerful steam pilot
boats to their feet, are constantly towing
vessels and offering assistance to vessels
ashore in the lower bay, thereby encroach-
ing on tugboat owners rights They
say that If the pilots claim the right to
enter the towing and wrecking business
the tugboat men ought TO be permitted TO
act as pilots when requested TO do so.
The Sandy Hook pilots have appointed
committee TO go to Albany to oppose
the passage OF the bill.
