VOGELSANG QUITS
GAME COMMISSION
Resignation After Attacks Ac-
cepted and British Columbia
Man Given Place
A. PALADINI

At a special session of the fish and
game commission held late yesterday
afternoon in its offices in the Merchants
Exchange building, Charles A. Vogel-
sang, for several years chief deputy
and executive officer of the board, ten
dered his resignation. 1t was accepted
and John. Pease Babcocl, fish commits
sioner of British Columbia. was ap-
pointed to the position.
For a great many months the storms
have beaten about the head of vogel-
sang, but he denied last night that this
prompted his withdrawal
Il have been considering this step
for several MONTHS he said 4 have
other plans and they have now taken
shape. L shall remain in charge for
about three months and Will then turn
the office over to my successor
Vogelsang has been the object of
persistent attack from the sportsmen
of the state. It has been charged that
the big sums collected from hunters
licenses, amounting to about $125.O0
a year, have not been wisely admins
tered. There was strong opposition to
the policy of bringing foreign birds
into the state at great expense while
the native game birds were being ex-
terminated by failure to enforce the
laws effectively.
To these criticisms vogelsang re-
piled last night that the prosecutions
he had undertaken had made him enc
mics. who chose this method of attack.
IT was only recently, however, that
a Plumas county paper contained a fun
page arraignment of the administra-
tion of the fish and game laws. 1t
was charged that there had been gross
extravaganza in the handling of funds !:
that no account had been rendered of
receipts and disbursements, and that
politics had been allowed to play a
dominant part in the affairs of the
commission.
An incident that caused further
trouble for yogelsang and the commits
sion was the attempt to remove Wal
ter r. Welch, game warden of Santa
Cruz county, for reasons purely po-
litical. Welch resorted to the courts
and retained his position
OF Babcock, the new appointee. Presi-
dent Jordan of Stanford university said
last night:
In my judgment no better choice
could have been made. There is no
one better Informed than Mr.. Babcock
in matters concerning the fisheries of
this coast.

GASOLINE LIGHTED
TO MURDER WOMAN
Husband jailed ON Testimony of
Mother in Law Regarding
Daughters Statement

SANTA ANA, May 12.-Following the
testimony of his mother in law and sew
eraI neighbors at coroners inquest
today Frank Skelly, contractor and
lumber man, was arrested tonight
pending an investigation of the allega-
tions that he murdered his wife. who
was supposed to have died of burns re-
ceived Friday in the explosion of a
gasoline stove.
According to the testimony of the
mother in law, Mrs. T. J. Lewis. there
was no stove explosion. but Skelly
threw a quart of gasoline over his
wife and then applied a match. Mrs
Lewis swore that her testimony was
based on statement her daughter
made as she lay, dying. She declared
that her daughter begged her to keep
the story secret for the sake of the
children
Neighbors who testified this after
noon asserted that they saw Mrs. Skelly
rush out into the yard of her home
with her clothing ablaze and crying
why did you do it. Frank? You have
murdered me. Why didn't you use a
pistol instead of gasoline?"
SkeIly assisted the neighbors who
testified against him to extinguish the
flames. He maintains that his wife was
burned in stove explosion.

LONDON. May 12-More crowned
heads and other high and mighty per-
sonages than the world has ever seen
together before will be in King Ed
wards funeral procession.
Prices of seats along the route are
being pushed up to figures far higher
than when Queen Victoria was buried.
The most significant thing. the West
minister Gazette thinks, is that the de-
mand for seats comes principally from
Americans and Germans.
A tour of Investigation was made to-
day by The Call correspondent to learn
precisely what was being asked for
seats on the observation stands that
are springing up with great rapidity
and for other places commanding any
sort of view of any part of the march.
Large Rentals Secured

Poor People Lose Pay
King George carefully revised the
routes proposed because of the crushes
at certain spots during Queen Victoria's
funeral. Trafalgar square, one of the
best points of vantage, was cut out be-
cause although it is easy to crowd peo-
pie there it is difficult to dispense them
again through the narrow converging
streets.
If some persons make money out of
this funeral others will lose. To the
poor the funeral means public holi-
day and loss of wages. This will be the
more serious because Whit Monday is
also public holiday. Therefore

COTTON DROP SHORT.
Smaller Than the Crop Made and
Gathered Last Year.

Gathered Last Year.
According to the figures issued by
the census bureau of the cotton gin
ned this season, which is published
on the first page of this issue, it ap-
pears that up to September rs there
was shortage of 265,939 bales, as
compared with last year.. And last
year, it should be remembered, was
short crop year.
The total. numbes4 of bales ginned
this season was 2,302,211, SO the
shortage is more than one-tentb. If
the same ratio should hold good the
remainder of the season it would
mean that the crop this year will fall
short about a million bales below
last years crop.
And this seems to be just about
what is to be expected. The last
government report on the condition
of the growing crop also shows a
great deterioration. So, while there
is already shortage of ten per cent.
In the cotton picked up to the pres
ent, an equal shortage is indicated
in the portion Of the crop that re-
mains to be picked.
A shortage is reported from all
the states except Texas and Tennes-
see. The Texas crop last year was
far below the normal, and even the
gains made this year still leave it
below an avesage crop. The short
age in all the other states shows that
in yield, compared with last year,
they will lose more than Texas gains.
So by the first actual figures, says
the Augusta Herald, in regard 20 the
cotton crop the certainty is present
ed that the yield this years. This
means that cotton will be cotton be-
fore this time next year.

Of Georgia land on which to grow

South is the coming portion Of the
country and they have turned their
attention to this section:
The West was overated, accord
ing to the statements of leading men
in New York, and the South will de-
velop in the near future in greater
proportions and much more rapidly
than did the West.
Mr. Jacksn says that the belief IN
Gotham that there will be no more
10 cents cotton is fixed and the gen
eral belief seems to be that 20 cents
will soon be reached and one proml-
nent New Yorker says that so and
40 cents will be seen in the not faI
distant future.
