one of the propositions with which
the Commissioners Of Inland FISH
cries and Game have to deal at pres
ent is that of preventing the ltalian
l:.borers and other unnaturallZed Tor
eign-born residents from carrying fire
arms in the woods and hunting game
in violation of Chapter rs of the Pub
lie Laws of 1907, and it is one that Is
causing not small amount of work
ON the part of the wardens to whom
is intrusted the duty of seeing to IL
that the above law is enforced.
The latest scene of action is up on
the Somerset extension, where large
crew of Italian laborcrs in the employ
of the railroad company is at work
changing the location of the track to
avoid crossing a bog. When the gang
went into the woods the commission
ers were given to understand by the
boss of the gang that no firearms
should be taken into the camps. but
nevertheless the guns and revOlverS
got there. Not long ago the commits
sionrrs received word that consign-
ment of firearms had been shipped to
the camp, and last week the game
wardens in that vicinity were notified
of the fact and instructions given for
them to hunt the guns out.
The trip was made to the station
camp Sunday, the warden engaged In
the expedition being Messrs. Adams,
Durgin, Pierce, Brown, Wood and Nc
Richie the start being made from
Mike Marr's sporting camps at Indian
pend at o'clock in the morning, the
"ardens dividing into two squads,
They arrived at the station camp at
o'clock, one of the squads meeting an
Italian in the woods with a gun and
taking the weapon from him. On ar
irving at the station the wardens re-
quested the Italians to bring out their
guns and revolvers. but the latter re-
fused to do this and the wardens pro-
ceeded to search the camp, where they
found two shotguns and one rifle,
making three shotguns in all.
It is said that during the search i'll
the camp one of the Italians got lit
tie excited and brandished a knife at
Warden Durgin, but that gentleman
the son of sunny italy, which caused
nm and his comrades to stampede for
the outer air. 1t is felt that other
guns We're secreted about the camp,
when will without doubt be looked up
later.

shin Drake which carried Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg to and from America in 1905 For four
hours in the early part of the voyage she made
26.4 knots.
Although for the two thousand miles from
land to land she has beaten the record of the
Cunard Line ships. the vessel was not stripped
TO enhance her racing powers, but carried her
heavy guns, her magazines full Of ammunition
and all the equipment of active service. The
longest days run was COS knots. The en-
gineers consider the feat of the Indomitable
splendid tribute TO the Parsons turbines.
The Indomitable passed more than fifty ice
bergs but encountered little fog after leaving
Belle Isle. No hitch occurred from the start to
the finish of the voyage
The Prince of Wales took the keenest inter
est in the speed trial and himself and all the
officers took a turn at stokfng.
On her trial trip the Indomitable did q knots.
