ark and was unable to come to Dover TO-
day. The pair which he arranged with
Senator Pennewill for yesterday was con-
tinued today by that gentleman and also

Years Closed Season Likely.
Delaware may have a whole years
closed season TO preserve and rehabitate
the game within her borders.
Representative Vandenburg's several
game bills which have been introduced
may be merged and then reported favor
ably from the committee on fish, oysters
and game. The new provision of closed
year is likely to be included because Of
the rigors Of the present winter.
The Vandenburg dog bill may also be
attached as It contemplates a tax on all
CANNES in town and country, for the pur-
pose of depicting the ranks Of innumer-
able worthless ours, which roam the coun-
try and prey upon game. Valueless dogs in
Sussex county are already charged with
destroying many of the Chinese pheasants
which are so desirable as game birds.
The merged bill may also carry an ap-
preparation of $1,000 to assist the Delaware
Game Association in restocking the
State.
Mr.. Bice, of Dover, vice-president, of
the Game Association today advertised
thta the association will promptly furn-
ish free grain to all farmers for feeding
the perishing pheasants, woodcock and
quail now so near the breeding season.
