New York. March PA plan under
consideration by President Roosevelt
and several members of Congress to
make certain the future existence of
the American bison. popularity known
as the American buffalo. William r
lIOrnaday. director of the Bronx Zoo
logical Park, New York. and president
of the American Bison Association,
is cooperating with the President to
save the remnant of tribe of beasts
that once numbered its members by
the millions. There are buffalo in
nearly all of the ZOOS of the country.
but the lives of the confined animals
are at best precarious. and no one
knows when accident or disease may
wipe the captiveS out of existence. 1t
is the wish of Mr. Hornaday that a
government range be provided for a
herd of buffalo in the northwestern
country. where they may live in large
measure as they lived when their only
enemies were the red man and the
VOLTA condition of life that made
for longevity and for increase.

SEEKS TO EVADE LAW.
Officials Have Been Advised of Novel
Scheme in Matter.

SUNDAY
Chicago, March 21.-Several large
railroad systems. notably the New
York Central. have been advised by
their legal departments that the eff
feet of the law limiting the hours of
labor of employees can be partially
evaded by closing all offices now con-
tinually open, for an hour or so out
of every twenty-fOur, thereby bring
ing them under Il class not designat-
ed by the law. The railroads can
then work the operators at these Of
fees ten or eleven hours. as they may
desire. This is a legal loop-hole as
the act makes only two classes of
stations. those open day and night.
and those open part of the day or
part of the night.

ROAD FOLLOWS SUIT
Pennsylvania Forced to Fol-
low Other Eastern Rail-
roads.
SEEM TO BE POPULAR.

The Pennsylvania railroad will run
home seekers excursions TO the North
west and the Southwest April 7. Last
season it was decided by the railroad
people, that after the last excursion
which was run in September, that
they would sell no more home seekers
tickets. This year the eastern rail
roads took up this ticket which had
proved very popular on the western
roads and this made the Pennsy line
take notice and it announced they
would conduct such excursions each
month.
The first conducted by the Pennsyl-
vania line was in March and large
number of local people took advant-
age of it. Some were people who had
friends there and others left 10 do
some prospecting.
