GAME PROTECTION
WILL BE THEME
OF SPEAKERS.

The officers of the California Game
and Fish Protective Association expect
their seventh annual convention. which
opens at Monterey on Friday. to be the
largest affair Of it's kind ever held on
this coast There is a growing senti-
ment in favor Of game protection
throughout the State. as people are
commencing TO realize that the indis-
criminate slaughter of game means its
extinction in a comparatively short
time
It is conceded that the game Of a
State IS a valuable asset. as men spend
large sums in its pursuit The people
in the country share largely in this dis
tributiOn, as sportsmen require much
Of them in the way Of provisions and in
the hire Of horses and teams. The
hotels in game country are also well
patrOnized. Often a man viii take
several members Of his family afield
with him while he may be the only
one who viii go in pursuit Of game.
The officials Of the association do not
want TO legislate for the rich sports
men alone. In their circular to kin
dred associations calling for the meet
ing. the officers say: The council Of
yourself and Of the members Of the as
sOciation, as representing the best in

ROBBED BY TRAMPs
ON SANTA f.

ALBUQUERQUE. n NJ. Nov. g.
Word reached this city this afternoon
of an attempt to hold up Santa Fe pas
senger train No. / at Gallup. The
train had stopped and the crew was in
the dining room, when three men en-
tered the coach, armed with revolvers,
and made the passengers hold up their
hands, securing several hundred dollars
in money, several grips and overcoats
from the passengers. The bandits then
moved toward the front end of the
train when some of the passengers
gave the alarm and the men escaped
into the darkness. The robbers are
thought to be tramps who had been
forced off freight trains during the
day.

1T has not been left for me to classify
you; that has already been done, To- these
many years, by every officer and man or
the regular army, to all of whom you are
well known. In expressing our great re-
gret at bidding you goodbye today the
few of us here assembled are perfectly con-
scious that we are but voicing the senti-
ments of the entire army
Gen. Bates, who was much affected, made
suitable response, then turned over his Of
flee to Gen. Bell. He will visit St LOUIS
the middle of next week for q stay of a
few weeks but will return to the east to
pass the summer in Washington and at
one of the Atlantic summer resorts until
next winter, when he will take up his per-
manent residence at his old home In st
Louis.
The chief of staff is detailed by the Presi-
dent and IS not appointed, and under the law
his detail endures at the pleasure of the
chief executive. He Is required to ask for
his relief from duty as chief of staff al
the end of the administration of the Prest-
dent who detailed him. That requirement
is to insure the President, as comma nder-
in-chief of the military forces, chief of
staff of the army in perfect accord with
his military policies and ideas
Gen. Bells Military Career.
Gen. Bell is only fifty years old, and is
the first graduate from the Military Acad-
envy to be chief of staff of the army He
was born in Kentucky January 8, 1856, and
was appointed a cadet at the Military
Academy In 1874, graduating in 1873, when
he was made a second lieutenant in the 9th
Cavalry. At the outbreak of the Spanish
war he held only the rank of captain In
the 7th Cavalry, but was made major In
the volunteer engineer department of the
army, and later major andSassstant adju-
tant general of volunteers for service dur
ing that war. On July s, 1899, Bell was
made colonel of the Beth United States
Volunteer Infantry, which regiment he
commanded in the Philippines with distinc-
ton In December of the same year be-
cause of gallant service in the Philippines
the President made him brigadier general
of volunteers, which he vacated in 1901,
when he was made a brigadier general in
the regular army, being at that time only
a major in the regular service. Gen. Bell
commanded the brown army during the
extensive maneuvers held near Manassas,
Va in September of 1904. He is regarded
as one of the most brilliant and energetic
officers In the army, and will undoubtedly
make a record in his present responsible
DOsitiOn.

responding to toast here last night at the
Jefferson day banquet, went outside his
set speech to eulogize William J. Bryan,
and to bitterly attack President Roosevelt.
Both sentiments aroused the most intense
enthusiasm, reference to the Nebraskan
ending in a demonstration that amounted
to an uproar Mr.. Towne did not refer to
Mr.. Bryan by name.
Your toastmaster has put upon me the
duty of referring to our great standard
bearer of 1896" said he. Il feel almost
that he himself in far-away India must
be catching the enthusiasm of your homage
tonight"
Mr.. Towne then read from an editorial
in which sympathy was offered to the DEM
ocratic editor who was wont to write col
Thankful for Something.
Il am as thankful any one that the
money question has worked itself out so
satisfactorily" resumed Mr.. Towne But
l cannot accept in silence the popular ver-
sion of why the predicted panic that was to
follow the adoption of the gold standard
did not materialize The panic did not oc-
cur because since 1896 the country has pro-
value without material increase in the sill
yer output We owe our prosperity to
providence, not to a policy. When men re-
fused to open the mint God opened the
mines
Then Mr.. Towne attacked President
Roosevelt. I'm going to take you into my
confidence this much,' said the speaker
by telling you that l am going back to
Washington with the avowed purpose of
exposing President Roosevelt. He is the
greatest promiser and smallest performer
since the days of Judas Iscariot He
filched his rate legislation program from a
national democratic platform and has now
laid down on his own bill; he sends for
legislators and lectures them like boys.
Trounces Uncle joe
And his tools-consider them for a min
ute. They are Speaker and degenerate
House. Nowadays there are three steps in
national egisation-getting the permission
of Uncle Joe to introduce a bill and then
securing its passage in the House and the
Senate. l get no show in the House I
might as well make a power of attorney
to the Speaker and go back home and get
to work. l wouldn't stay in Congress or
In the democratic party II did not believe
that democracy will eventually triumph in
national anairs." :
/ 1t was far after midnight before the
speechmaking was finished, and Mr.
Towne's response was to one of the last
toasts on the program.
