NEVER so MANY FANCY
PIGEONS HERE AS NOW

The pigeon industry in Southern Cali
fornia is in prosperous condition. There
never as time when there were as
many high class fancy pigeons here as
there are at present.
great many eastern fanciers are COM
ing to Los Angeles to reside and are to
bring birds with them that are true speci-
mems, coming up almost to the IDEAL To
foster and promote this industry few
fanciers organized the Southwestern
Pigeon club four years ago. This club is
now giving its fourth annual exhibit with
better birds cooped than heretofore.
Thursday evening, December ., meet
ing of the club was held and the follow
ing officers were elected: j. A. Cox,
president; Will Schock, vice president; W.
H, Elliot, secretary; E. E. Bradshaw,
treasurer, and Wilbur E. Foster, supelin-
tendent of exhibitions. At this meeting
fourteen new members were taken in
swelling the list to twenty-six Tuesday
evening, December 10, another meeting
will be held, at which the date for the
next annual exhibition will be set 1t is
the intention of the club to hold monthly
meetings. at which birds will be cooped,
judged and discussed. At these meetings
all owners of fancy pigeons are invited
to be present, whether members of the
club or not.
At the exhibition now going on the
birds are al classified in regular order
each variety being lined up, coop to coop.
Visitors Praise Show
Many eastern fanciers who have Wis
tied the show have remarked it was the
best organized show they had visited
west of the Mississippi river.
OF the Parlor Tumber class little yellow
hen Lorine, who made a sensational roll
at Oakland a year ago, is present, in
better form than ever. She was put
through performance to the amusement
of the crowd every hour, rolling from
forty to ninety feet.
A rare specimen of pigeon never before
seen on the Pacific coast is the Russian
trumpeter. This is e large bird with a
heavy cap over the beak. almost hiding
the eye, with a heavy shell crest coming
up over the back of the head. On their
feet and legs is growth of feathers that
appear almost to be another pair of
wings.
Will Schock; who recently moved to
Los Angeles from Chicago, has without
a doubt the finest exhibit of fan-tails ever
seen on the Pacific coast. These birds
came here with honors. from such shows
as Madison square. Boston, and Chicago.

ADDS ADDITIONS TO
GREAT NATIONAL FOREST
TRACTS OF 100000 ACRES ARE
LAID ASIDE
Vast Area in Arizona to Be Protected
in Future by National For
est Service Adminis-
tration

WASHINGTON. Dec THE president
has just signed proclamation creating
two additions to the Prescott national
forest in Arizona. having an aggregate
area of S2O,OOO acres.
The tracts will be placed under the for
est service administration at once and
protected from fire, theft and waste The
additions include much yellow pine tim
berls.nd and will give the Prescott forest
an area of 1,O6S,256 acres.
4 The country included is located in the
central por ion of Yavapai county, be-
tween the boundary line of the present
forest, and the Baca grant, and occupies
a portion Of the divide between Williams
fork and til. Verde river
The Santa Maria countains and the
Juniper mountains are prominent fea-
lures of the iarritory
The creation of the additions will re-
suit in benefit to Arizona by conserving
the timber rupply for the use of settlers
and the. wood-using industries
It is estimated there are about 10000. 600
board feet of yellow pine on the addi-
tions. In some places covered with COM
mercial forest, the stand of yellow pine
often reaches 10000 feet board measure
an acre. but on the low divide and on
rocky slopes the scale is often reduced to
1900 feet an acre.
Parts of the additions are covered with
a scattered growth of willow, cotton
wood. ash and box elder. While these
areas are valueless for lumber production
it is most important they be protected
from destructive fires: that stream flow
be conserved and erosion of soil pre-
vented

By Associated Press.
HOPKINSVILLE. KY, Dec. 7.-Five
hundred might riders' masked and
heavily armed, marched into Hopkins
vile early today and destroyed property
valued at more than 100000, while the
citizens in terror. of their lives feared to
open their windows.
The police. fire department, telephone
and telegraph offices and even the rail
road stations were in possession of the
wild mob, shooting right and left. The
flames from burning buildings mean
while Lighted up the city and the sur
rounding country until it seemed the
whole town was ablaze.
Two men, one of them Lindsay Nit
chell tobacco buyer. were injured, be-
ing severely beaten. The other was shot
in the back while trying to move his
team from the path of flames.
The raid of the might riders" caught
the city unawares, as for some time the
depredations resulting in the tobacco war
had been of a minor nature and it was
generally thought that in the dark dis
trict" at least the worst was over. The
property destroyed was as follows
w. II. Tandy, Independent warehouse,
building owned by John c. Latham.
B. NJ. Woodbridge, association ware
house.
Tandy & H fairleigh warehouse.
In addition. the entire glass front of
the Hopkinsville Kentuckian. Mayor
Mechams paper, which has condemned
the raids of the might riders.' was de-
stroyed. while windows in the front of
the Commercial Banking and Savings
company, the First National bank and
the Planters Trust company and the
Bank o. Hopkinsville were punctured
with bullet holes.
A number of other business houses and
residences tear tt marks of the might
riders bullets and it is considered re-
markable that no one was killed. The
insurance is believed to be about $6O,OOO.
At the !ntercession of citizens who
were being 49, rded on street corners the
invaders allowed the fire department to
leave their building to save property ad-
joining the burning buildings.
The girls in the telephone office were
forced by fifteen men to leave their sta
tions until the mob was ready to leave
town.

POINTED QUESTIONS FOR MAN WHO REFUSES TO
 RESIGN

Insurance Commissioner Admits He
 Has Never Made Thorough Study of
 Neither Has He Removed Any One
 From Office us Il Result of the Legis-
 Iative Investigntion---Says He is
 Going to Dispose of Services of Two
 Men.
 Albany, Feb. 1S.-For over two hours to-day Governor Hughes examined Su- perintendent Otto Kelsey, of the state insurance department, whose resigna- ton he has demanded and which has been refused, as to his acquaintance with the revelations made before the insurance Investigating committee re- gprdfng abuses in the life insurance business: as to his reasons for retain ing in the department officials and em- ployes whose conduct was brought in question during that investigation; as to his appreciation of the text of dras- tic house cleaning in the department, and as3to his preparations for the elec- tion of directors of the Mutual Life h. surance company.
 Superintendent Kelsey admitted that he had never made thorough study of the report of the Armstrong com inttee, reading from 1t only occasion ally as specific matters made partiou- lar portions of it of timely interest al- though he said that at one time and another he believed he had read 1t all. He admitted that he had removed no one from his department as a result of the legislative investigation, although ne intended eventually to dispense with the services of First Deputy Superin- | tendent Robert Hunter, of Poughkeep- sic, and Chief Examiner Isaac Wander | pool, of Albany, when the work of the department was in such shape as to make, in his judgment. practicable to spare them. MT. Vanderpool resigned few weeks ago, but 1t appeared that, aside from his resignation and those of three minor employees, the personnel of tile department is precisely the same as when MT. Kelsey assumed office last May.
 Mir Kelsey admitted that he had never examined the roster of his de- partment in the light of revelations be- fore the Armstrong committee as to the affiliations of certain employees with officials of insurance companies who were involved In the insurance expos ures.
 Governor Hughes said tonight that he could not tell definitely whether the matter would be ready to submit to the senate tomorrow. He wanted to give the superintendent of insurance time to present any answer he desired and whether the recommendation would go to the senate tomorrow would depend on how the case develop ed He said, however, that he was de- sirous of closing the matter as soon as possible.

Senate Committee Hears Great Deal of
 Conflicting Testimony.

Washington, Feb. IS. Witnesses in the Brownsville hearing to-day testi- fled that,the shooting began in tL1e rear of the commissary, away from the town, and continued around the road and into the town while the call to arms was being sounded. The com mittee on military affairs heard great deal of contradictory testimony, the value of which must be determined by other witnesses. As to certain incl dents, it was white soldier against ne- gro ex-soldier.
 Senator Foraker called Hoyt Robin son, formerly of Company D, who was musician of the guard and sounded the call to arms on the night of August IS, He said the firing continued for about fifteen minutes after the call ceased, He thought the men firing the shots were stationed in the town, near the gate into the military reservation.
