CAN'T sNAG FISH WITH POLES.
Game Law Protects Efnny Tribe From
This Mode OF Capture

Emporia, Kan, July 13.-State
Deputy Fish and Game Warden Dan
MCGOWAN was looking things over on
the Cottonwood, and near Soden's
bridge found a number of fishermen
who were using snag poles to get fish.
These poles consist of a heavy tim
Der on which line with number of
hooks is fastened The hooks are
dragged through the water to snag
fish. Deputy MCGOWAN informed the
men that they were breaking the law,
and they said if they were they would
quit.
Wardne MCGOWAN consulted a num-
Der of lawyers and they agreed with
him that they thought the law cover
ed snag poles. Accordingly, Deputy

NO SPECIAL CARS FOR WOMEN.
Experiment on New York Line Not
Successful.

New York, July 13.-The Hudson
Manhattan (the tunnel railway be-
tween New York and Hoboken), after
a trial of three months, has taken off
the special cars for women which it
ran at the rear end of each train in
the rush hours, says the Railway Age
Gazette, for the very good reason that
the women do not prefer them; they
seem to be just as well satisfied to ride
in the crowded cars. In the announce
ment the management regrets that the
experiment has failed. 1t was begun
for the purpose of showing that the
company was alert to meet the wishes
of the public, the Interborough having
just manifested some unWillingneSS to
comply with a request for women'S
ears made to it by the New York state
public service commission. The Inter
borough will now laugh, while the
other road regrets. Editors and 9TH
ers are trying TO solve the psychology
zeal mystery in which this action-or
nonactiOn=of the women of New
York is enveloped, and there is much
wise talk about pride, the spirit of
independence and other occult mat
tiers; but it looks as though q large
part of the mystery could be dispelled
by the simple explanation that the
women's car was the least desirable
one in the train. AS rule only ex-
perienced passengers are wise enough
to go to the end of the platform to
board a train. Before expending
brain power on psychological philoso-
phizings, it might be we'll to offer the
women the best car in the train-one
of those near the middle.
