ton more than two hundred quail and
| partridge, the result of protecting a
| single brood of each for about three
| years, and during the past a these
quail and partridge nave perhaps more
thar trebled their numbers.
Time was when each member of an
incorporated fish or game protective
association could make an arrest and
| lodge a complaint for violations OF
these laws, but the iron hand of the
defunct Fish and Game Commission
sneaked laws through that took away
the power of complaint and had II
| vested in the wardens and themselves
| only. This law should be stricken from
| the books of this State and every mem
| Der of a recognized protective associa-
! ton should be reinvested with the
power of complaint. In this way war
| dene would be helped out materially,
| and violators would very soon Learn
to dread the laws of New Jersey as
far as fish and game are concerned.
The new commission is composed or
at least two honest sportsmen, and
| there is a great deal expected of them
in the way of future legislation. Surely
they are going in with eyes wide open
to the need of laws for the better pro-
| lection and the means for the propaga-
ton of game, and much help will be
given them by sportsmen who Will
reap the benefits.
One of the most serious handicaps to
the passage of laws for game protection
during the past few years has been he
lack of interest shown by legislators
and members of the Senate, as, for in
aoaao let rxroor thora ruoc MT a single
member of either house vino could
claim knowledge of the handling of a
gun and. therefore, could not become
interested in the movement.
standing the fact that more fish and
game bills were presented than of any
other class of legislation for.
However, the various clubs succeeded
in having passed through the 1--WE
house about fourteen bills for the pro-
lection of game and the regulation OF
the fish and oyster laws. but not a
single bill passed the upper house, W
ing to the violent opposition of
Shinn, of Ocean, and Brown. of Mon
mouth. who were backed up by several
cold storage owners, hotel-keepers. pot
hunters and pound net owners of the
coast counties.
Other legislation that will be asked
for this year will be that of compelling
every resident gunner to pay a license
of 81, non-residents so and aliens go.
With this license system the State will
be enriched in the neighborhood of
5000 a year. which will be ample
funds TO meet the payments of wardens
salaries and other incidentals and leave
a surplus from which our depleted for
ests may be restocked with game.
During the month the Society of New
Jersey Sportsmen will hold a meeting,
at which the several committees. to be
made up of one member from each gun
club and sportsmen's association, will
arrange a dinner to which the members
of the new Fish and Game Commission
will be invited.
1t is the purpose of the new organ
ization to work hand in land with the
commission and in this way carry to a
successful issue h long-sought-for leg
islatiou for the better protection of fish
and game.

KRAEMER'S STATEMENT.
Endorsement Story Displeases County
Clerk Nominee-1eth Ward Rally.

Dr.. Charles r. Kraemer, Democratic
candidate for county clerk, last night
at the first political mass meeting of
Sixteenth Ward Democrats, was in
dignant about a story to the effect that
the Liberal Citizens Union had in
dorsed him over his Republican oppo-
nent, John B. Woolston, because he
was a German.
THAT story said the candidate,
was an insult and slur upon me.
If the organization referred to Endorsed
me because of my parentage, or for
anything that my parents did, 1 do not
want their Endorsement" added he. u
am an American from the top of my
head to the sole of my foot. No one
loves the flag better than l do. I want
to be considered first of all as an
American"
Continuing, DIR. Kraemer said that he
hoped not to see n more such state
ments. and remarked that the resolu-
ton passed by the Liberal Citizens
Union did not even intimate that the
Endorsement had been made because
| Mr.. Woolston was too American" or
because he himself was of German
%parentage.
Besides DR.. Kraemer, Alderman Jul
Illus A. Meyer. of the old Thirteenth
Ward, and the ward candidates from
the Thirteenth. Fourteenth and Six
teenth wards, delivered addresses.
Alderman James A. Bray, of the
old Fourteenth, presided. In assuming
charge Alderman Bray spoke of the
Democratic majority in Common
Council and urged the election of ever
Democratic candidate on the ticket.

RlDGELY IS NOT
CERTAIN OF
PRESIDENCY
Future Of Former Heinze
Bank Perplexing New
York FinanCiers.

NEW YORK, Oct. ia perplexing
situation today faced the bankers and
~financiers who are trying to straighten
out the affairs of the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank and to divorce it COM
pletely from any association with F.
Augustus Heinze, its former president.
With the designations of its entire
board of directors in the hands of the
Clearing House, that institution APP
peared to control the situation, and
was committed to the task of putting
the bank on a firm footing. For this
purpose nine Clearing House banks
had promised to contribute 5000 900
each to tide the Mercantile over any
distress which it might encounter as
a result of the suspension of Otto
Heinze & Co. and F. Augustus Heinze's
desire to reestablish that firm.
The Clearing House committee held a
brief session today. At the conclusion
Manager Shearer said that the
debit balance of the Mercantile Ma
tional Bank this morning was S1,100, 900.
and that there was no doubt that 1t
would be paid, the greater part by the
Clearing House banks.
One of the reporters present asked
Mr.. Shearer the amount of the debit
balance of the National Bank of North
America, of which c. w. Morse is
president. Mr.. Shearer replied that it
was about $250, 900.
Public interest in the situation lay
in the action to be, taken by Comp
troller of the Currency William B.
Ridgely, whose acceptance of the presi-
dency of the Mercantile was still in
some doubt. 1T was understood that
Mr.. Ridgely's decision depended upon
whether he would be allowed a fires
hand in recognizing the bank, and
whether he would be able to secure the
support of certain men whom he de-
sired to back him in the task.
Opening quotations of United Copper
common stock, the Heinze copper prop
erty, in the curb market today were al
10, as compared with a closing price of
10h last night.
Bonds of the Consolidated Steamship
| Company. controlled by C.. w. Morse.
who has been associated with Mr..
Heinze in the Mercantile Bank, were sold
at the opening at s17.-as compared with
SIS, the closing price last night.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Comptroller of
the Currency Ridgely returned to Wash
ington today from New York, where he
had been in consultation regarding the
presidency of the Mercantile National
Bank, of that city. He stated that he had
the matter under consideration, and that
it may be three or four days or possibly
a week before he reaches a decision. 1t
is understood that IL conditions work out
as he desires he will be likely to regard
the off r favorably. What these condi-
tons are MIR. Ridgely declines to state.

MAYORS REPLY
TO SHERIFF'S
MESSAGE
Will Refer SOmmer's Letter
to Excise and Police
Departments.

Mayor Jacob Haussling gave out this
morning the following letter which he
sent to Sheriff Frank H.. Sommer in
reply to the letter the latter sent to
him yesterday, and which was printed
in the EVENING STAR:
MY dear sir-I have your letter of the
18th inst, in which you say that you are
Informed that the provisions OF the statute
approved April Is, 1906, relating to the
back rooms of saloons are now to q very
great extent ignored and disregarded in
the city of Newark
any violations of this or any other pro-
vision of the statute referred to-. except
those which are possibly unavoldaDie III a
large city, and are indicated by the arrests
made by the police department. | shall
refer your letter to the police ana excise
authorities.
Sheriff Frank N. Sommer's letter to
the Mayor, calling the attention of the
city's executive head to h rumored
violation of the excise laws by various
saloon-keepers in the city in allowing
women to congregate in the back rooms
and drink with men, was somewhat OF
a surprise to the members of h Po-
lice Board. That Newark was free
from any such condition as spoken OF
in the sheriff's letter, was the opinion
of the commissioners.
"If such a condition exists as Sheriff
Sommer says we have been misin-
formed said Commissioners Bladder,
Kane and Harrigan today. All three
members of the Police Board stated
that Sheriff Sommer surprised them by
his letter.
Commissioner Castle is > out of the
city. The other members. however,
said that at the weekly conference of
the police captains on Monday the mat
ter will be brought up and the cap
tains will be questioned so that the
board will know what action to take in
the future.
President Bladder had received no
communication from Mayor Haussling
in regard to the Sheriff's letter today.
He said that he understood the city
was practically free from all vice, but
an investigation would be made at the
weekly conference on Monday.
Commissioner Kane said that he was
unaware that such a state of affairs
existed as Sheriff Sommer spoke of in
his letter. 1--WE have been misinformed
IL the women are. allowed to congregate
In back rooms of Saloons" said he,
land l certainly will make an investi-
cation, as l thought the police were do
ing excellent work in this respect"
Acting Captain Caffrey. of the First
Precinct. said that h owners of some
saloons have been giving the police
more or less trouble with their back
rooms, but only of late. He said that a
special watch has been kept on the sa-
looms by the men in his precinct, but
there would be renewed activity as far
the rear rooms were concerned.
