VERMONT GAME

H. 6. Thomas.

Thinks That Too Many Partridses

WOULD SHORTEN SEASON

Stowe Aug. IA. The eighteenth an
nual report OF the commissioner OF
fisheries and game, issued by II. G.
Thomas, of this place for the fiscal
year ending June 30, was made public
to day, an abstract OF which is given
herewith
NEARLY all the recommendation
which | made in my report for the term
ending June 30. 1904, we're carried out
by the legislature and became laws,
which certainly have improved past
conditions.
"Public sentiment Is gradually
working up to a more intelligent and
better understanding Of the real needs
OF Vermont to bring the summer Wis
itor, and certainly the state can fur
nlsh no greater attraction than fish
and game. The Sunday editions OF
our large daily papers are continually
commenting on good fishing and hunt
ing In our neighboring states. Our
neighboring states have appropriated
literally to bring about the present
conditions New Hampshire, exceed.
Jog Vermont in population only 6S, 900,
spends more than 100000 annually
for fish and game as against 5000 for
Vermont They have not been in
different in the least, but adopted
business methods and energetic means
TO attract the summer visitor to their
respective states. The vast contrast
between Vermont and our neighbors in
furnishing attractions is obvious.
The great majority of summer visitors
have ample means; they are liberal
and will go wherever attractive in
ducements TO their liking are held out.
Vermont has been slow to improve her
opportunities. What ought to be done,
do ii now.
1.-THE continued restocking of our
lakes and streams rigid enforcement
VI tue laws tudt VIC udg nave OCttoA
fishing and game more plenty will be
the principal factors in bringing the
desired change. Indifference will not.
A rigid enforcement OF the laws as far
as possible with the means available,
has created more respect for the 6sh
and game laws, and created senti
ment that the only consistent treatment
OF violator is TO prosecute him re-
CARELESS of his personality or stand
ing in the community. 1t is source
Of satisfaction to note the improved
efficiency in the warden force. Many
have resigned, some have been dis
charged. The present service can be
greatly improved. There is not more
than one warden in ten that will make
any particular effort to enforce the
fish and game laws.

"In the opinion OF the commissioners
several hundred deer are killed annu'
ally illegally. Under the floor OF a
deserted shanty in Rutland county
thirteen deer skins we're discovered, In
North Duxbury q box was recently
discovered, partially buried, which
contained twelve deer skins, and other
cases similar have been reported.
They are killed and consumed by a
class more or less isolated and con.
vlctions are seldom obtained"

Deer and Dogs.

Amending the law to impose fine
against the owners OF dog that was
known to chase deer instead OF killing
the dog when in the act, has caused
a source OF annoyance and created
much more havoc among deer, than
previous to this amendment. The
difficulty is to catch the dog when chas-
ing deer, so as to be able to prosecute
the owner. Valuable dogs have been
killed through spite the claim being
made that they we're killed while in the
act OF chasing deer, when in court it
was proven otherwise. The fines paid
by owners of dogs for chasing deer are
in no comparison to the damage done.
1t occurs to the commissioner this
could In a measure be remedied by
statute compelling all hunters or the
owner of gun to take out a license.

Game Birds.

1.-THE present law allowing the TAX
ing of partridge and woodcock from
September | to January is too long
and not In harmony with our adjoin-
ing states. The hsrmonizing of the
fish and game laws is advisable and
gives better protection to our game
birds. The open season for partridges
and woodcock in the states OF Maine,
New York Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire is much shorter than in
Vermont. In Massachusetts the season
opens October and closes November
30: two months instead of four which
Vermont allows it has also been the
means OF large loss Of game to the
state; 1t being close season In Sep
TENDER and December in our neigh
boring states the hunters flock to
Vermont for partridges and wood
cock. Our law as It stands to-day is
disastrous to our game birds and
should be amended making the open
season from September 30 to Decem-
Der | the same as Massachusetts.
According to this report 497 deer
we're killed in Vermont during the
open season OF 1905. The gross weight
was 9S, 626 pounds, and the average
weight was 1873 pounds.

STATE HOOD
BILL CAUCUS.
Republicans in Closed Session
Voted to Ask Senate for a Con-
ference on the Matter.

WASHINGTON. March 1G.-As the
result of Il caucus which lasted for
two and a half hours the Republicans
of the house voted 1875 to 30 TO stand
by the statehood bill as it passed the
house and ask the senate for a confer
ence OH the measure. This vote fol
lowed Immediately after Il resolution
offered by Mr.. Mondell (WyoJ. repre-.
senting the insurgents had been de.
feated. 123 TO 10. the Mondell resolu-
ton being to agree to the senate
amendment eliminating Arizona and
New Mexico from the bill ana asking
a conference on the minor amendments
in the measure.
Several speeches were made. They
were limited Il five minutes each, but
in the ease of Speaker Cannon ana
Mr.. Hamilton (Mich.), chairman of the
committee on territories, the. time was
extended. Mr.. Hamilton opened the
discussion with a plea for the original
house bill.
The speaker followed, touching first
oil the binding effect of both caucuseS
and conferences. He took the position
that where the party took action on
any matter of this nature all members
participating were bound by that ac-
ton.
He made the point that there were
twenty residents of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory who object to being
tied together where there was one in
Arizona and New Mexico. He admit
ted he was being deluged with tele.
grams on behalf of Oklahoma. He
contended that the effect of admitting
Oklahoma and Indian Territory ut this
time and not disposing of Arizona
and New Mexico only meant that there
would be four new senators from Ari-
zona and New Mexico instead of but
two senators in case the house stood
firm. Il wish to God" he remarked.
the senate was twice as good as it is.
1t performs its functions fairly we'll
it is our senate" But to add four SEN
atOrs where but two should be added,
he declared. would give the senate too
much influence as compared with the
house based OH population.
Reviewing legislation before con-
gress. he said the rate bill would pass;
that if the house would stand firm its
statehood bill would also become a
law. And we can stay here for three
MONTHS he declared. Addressing the
Insurgents" he added. Why join the
Democracy in order to have your owl
way The speaker then turned his
face toward the senate and remarked:
'On what meat doth this Il Caesar
feed that it hath grown so great? My
judgment is that statehood will come

MISTAKE COST LIVES.
Message of Captain TO Ship British
King Wrongly Translated.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Had it not
been for n mistake in signals the
twenty-seven lost members of the
crew of the steamship British King.
which sank in midocean. would in all
probability have been saved. This was
the belief of Captain Andrew Schau OF
the German tank steamship Mannheim,
which arrived in port with eleven of
the British Kings crew who were res
cued by volunteers from the Mann
helm shortly before the sinking ship
went down.
His signal asking the British King
to stop her engines so that the Mann
helm could get alongside with Il boat
was misinterpreted to stop on board,
and in consequence the only safe OPP
portunity for affecting Il comparative
ly easy rescue was lost.

in the translation of German into Eng
lish from the code book.
The eleven survivors. who have been
the actors in as thrilling Il story Of
shipwreck as has ever occurred in real
life for many years, were taken from
the Mannheim in Il tugboat shortly
after she came to anchor off Staten Is.

As the tug steamed away the men
uncovered their heads as they stood OF
the tugboat's deck in the driving biz
zard and gave Captain Schau Il chez
that ought to have %rcsounded in Staten
