said:
Hopes for Peace.
There is a proposition now before
the Cabrera government and until Va

Mexico will continue 10 insist on
the cXtradition of the man charged

exhaust every possible meants to sci

desire for peace with all the world is
most sincere.

The recent cabinet meetings set
tied this much-that there will be no
wal at this time, Or course, no N

would not for a moment tolerate a di-

a different attitude. but | don't be

kept closed while the polls are open.
Department stores, however, are open.
Things seemed sniet mp to noon when
men who. taking advantage of the holiday,
began 70 emerge from their homes after
a restfhl sleep. The workers. fresh from
their conferences yesterday with the lead
ers, were ready for these men who had
come out to swell the noon vote. Armed
with. Fort and katzenbach buttons and the
inevitable pastors, these workers were as
omnipresent almost as the Sherin's men,
all over the city, with their respective
shares of the warrants that Sheriff Som
mer has issued for Illegal registrations.
There was no evidence up TO noon that
there was any extensive working of
"hoaters, although the presence of such
in the city was attested by the appearance
or a number or strangers at the -Four
Corners and in Military Park on the
benches, who were taking a sun bath,
whether they needed the bath or not.

men knew the provisions of the law and
were ready to enforce it. Bright and
early the saloons were closed, but the
Sheriff's men were on the job and ready
for the violations that they discovered.
Particular attention, however, was paid
to illegal voting by both the police and
the Sheriff's forces, who were both on
deck to watch the polling places which had
sbeen furnished with the necessary cleo

1t is admitted that the government will

Closed Season Extends for Three Years

He Saws. !
[special 70 the EvenlnE star.l

TRENTON. Nov. 5~.-Justice Swayze
has filed an opinion In the Supreme
Court which holds that the shooting
of deer In New Jersey has been pro-
hibited by the Legislature until 1909.
The opinion sustains the conviction of
William Grace and another who were
fined 5000 for attempting to shoot deer
In Cumberland County last year.
The Legislature Of 1906 prohibited the
killing of deer for three years from
the passage of the act. Deer in South
Jersey mad multiplied so rapidly that
farmers complained of damage to their
crops, and sportsmen became impatient
to begin shooting.
Grace and others were selected to
make a test case. and carried their
conviction to the Supreme Court upon
the contention that the closed season
only lasted three years from the pass
age of the original act.
The court held that 1t was clearly the
intention of the Legislature to extend
the closed season for three years from
the passage of the amendment.
