DEER PLENTIFUL
Large Number Visit Open Field Daily Known
to Sleep Near Cottage in Mendon.

Rutland, Sept H. Emerging feai
lessly from their forest retreat little
after shutdown, large herds OF d, er APP
pear almost every night in the vicinity
Of Rutland. The stringent game laws
which went into effect a few years ago,
giving the deer a fair chance to i've
and multiply, are the cause of their
great numbers and size.
Long protection from the wanton
slaughter OF the sDortsman's gun have
made these beautiful animals so tame
that they have been known to sleep in
the meadows far from the friendly pro.
lection OF woods. Most OF d. ose that
have appeared so far have been large
young animals but they are nearly al
ways led 10y lordly buck, who stands
guard over the herd
In Mendon their appearances have
been especially frequent. NJ. T.. Wheel.
er OF this city who has a cottage at
that place, about eight miles from here
sees them almost nightly. Sometimes
they come within Is yards OF the house
and they are as tame as cows. Their
appearances have become so frequent
that Mr. Wheeler often invites friends
to spend the evening with him and en-
JOY the novel and beautiful sight. In
spite OF their fearlessness they never
attempt to injure the crops, seeming
content to browse upon the pasture
lands.
Many rash statements have been
made regarding the injury done crops
by the deer. However, most OF these
statements have been refuted by those
who do not wish to see the handsome
creatures slaughtered II the present
game laws were repealed it would only
be few months when these perfectly
harmless animals would be Il thing OF
the past.

THE R0LL-cRLL ON THE LINE
UP WHICH KILLED 1T
WAS NOT VERI-
FIED--WHY?
DORCHESTER DELEGATION
CHANGED VOTE, BUT WAS
1T so RECORDED?
OTHER LEGISLATIVE MAT
TIERS OF INTEREST.

DR.. GoldsboTough's anti.oigaIette
bill, which passed the Senate some
time ago. was killed in the House
this morning by a vote which was an
nounced as AZ 20 43 Just what the
real vote was il will probably be diff
cult to ascertain, since not one of the
several roll calls was verified, while a
strong suspicion exits that the Dor.
chester delegation. which asked that
its vote be changed, was not so marked.
The bill was unfavcrably reported
by the judiciary committee, but q mo-
tion was made to substitute the bill
for the unfavorable report, and that
this motion be made the special order
for Tuesday at l o'clock. This motion
failed, 4G to 46, although like those
which followed, the vote was not YER
flied. 4 motion was next ma 10 to
substitute the bill for the unfayorable
report, for which Mr.. Dorton. of Bal
timore city, offered a substitute. that
the bill be laid ON the table. This
passed, or was declared passed, after
which motion to reconsider.and then
lay that motion on tile table was sim
ilarly declared passed, thus killing
the bill so far as this session is con-
cerned.
Keen disappointment is felt by many
people over this outcome, since the
measure is believed to be a good one
and one that would really have work
ed. This feeling of disappointment
is the more general by reason of the
fact that the methods used TO defeat
it are open to question. II had been
thought that this Legislature marked
the beg inning of new regime, that
a lobby would have but little chance
with the members this term. This is
really the first matter which has came
up, in which lobby has been actively
at work and with public sentiment In
every section of the State favorable
TO the measure and every paper in
Maryland advocating it editorially
with two exceptions the bill never.
theless failed. There was some honest
opposition but there was more which
probably was not honest. Certainly
since the votes apparently we're there
ii is a pity that the rollcalls are not
verified and any suspicion of under

moved 1t is true that the bills
