MAY SUSPEND RULES.
Police Required Height May be Too
 High.

It was learned yesterday afternoon that after the examinations for super numerary policemen to be held Tn Boardman High school April 1, if policeman speaking the Italian Ian guage huently is not found, the rules as to height may be suspended in or- der that certain candidates otherwise fitted for the work may become candi- dates. All of the Italians capable of taking this position, which it is under- stood will lead to assignment to the detective bureau, are under the re- auired height. However, the height rule is heinz enforced and these men are barred out, but if among the can didates presenting themselves one of the right height is not found the com missioners may think it advisable to suspend this height rule in order to get an officer thoroughly acquainted with the Italians of the city and with the language and the settlements here.

 There are a good many cases ahead of this one. and although the statutes provide for a trial forthwith. there are like situations in several other import ant cases.

SOUTHERN QUAIL POOR.
F. Burton Spcrry Makes n Statement
 on State Game Situation.

E. Burton Sperry. brother of Con- gressman N. D. Sperry. great game bird lover and breeder, gave it as his opinion last evening in an interview that if the game commissio nobtained quail from Indian territory as was hinted at in a report that the comlnis- sion made through the Journal-Cour- fer a few days ago. the commission would be doing a questionable thing Quail from so far south as Indian Ter ritOry would never be able to weather the temperature in Connecticut he said He had been shown time and time again. Quail to be worth while here must come from a latitude the same. The birds used to be brought from Kansas but now laws prevent their exportation from these western states. Tt will never pay" he as- serted If the state of Connecticut spent all the money it would possibly bond itself for. it would not he able to get these birds established satisfac- torily here with birds gotten from In- dian, territory, in my opinion.''
 Mir, Sperry was also interested in the report of yesterday that the fish and game commission has imported twelve pairs of Hungarian cartridges, or pheasants. as he prefers to call them. He said he thought if the state of Connecticut was only importing that many birds. he should come in for some praise. for as an individual bird lover he expects eight pair of the birds to arrive at his preserve at Hampton. Conn, in the near future, shipped to him by Ferd Sudow of Poughkeepsie. N. Y. He hoped that the commission would get more birds than twelve pairs this season.
 John Bassett said last night thai he understood the few birds mention ed were all that the commission could obtain at this time More are to be got as soon as possible.

Politics Looking Up in Prepara tion for May Election
 Church Notes.

In short time, politics will be at a boiling pitch over in the borough of Fair Haven East, preparatory to the May election, It was stated last even ing that George K. Clark the warden would not care for renomination. He has served three terms and thinks that he has done his duty by the bor- ough. As yet. no one has been spok- on of prominently for the nomination. It is also announced that Burgess Stanton does not care for a renomina- ton. As alderman of the city, he finds that in that capacity it is about all the time that he can give to pub lie affairs. There has been a report that MT. Horan was not very anxious for a renomination as a busgess. It will be remembered that there was quite a mix-up over the borough cleo ton last year and that two elections were necessary. There are many who do not care to serve on the board and would prefer to have the borough go into the city. But this will not come just vet. There are number of matters of interest to be decided by the new board when it comes into power. And while merging with the city may come there are some who be- lieve that it is yet several years off.
 Speaking for the present board of government. Burgess Harry Leigh said We will have all bills paid when our term expires. and I for one would not favor taking up any new projects. Let the new board start the new projects I am not a candidate for recollection as burgess. 1 have given about all the time I can afford to the borough
