Trap Coyotes in Menominee.

Another illustration of discrepancy,
although one of less Importance. is
that Wisconsin pays SO a scalp for
Doth wildcat and lynx. while Michigan
pays So for a lynx and SO for wild
cat
An important development which
emphasizes the necessity for readjust-
ing the Michigan bounty law is the
apparently authentic discovery of coy
Otes i'm Menominee county. The bio
logical survey has received two coyote
skins from the county clerk. Hitherto
the federal authorities have been
doubtful about coyote skins alleged to
have been taken from animals captured
from Michigan. Such skins have us
ually been presented to county clerks
I'm not too good condition and such as
have reached Washington were suffi-
ciently ancient and weather beaten to
have made trip from the southwest
ern desert country Moreover, the au-
thentic records have heretofore con-
fined the coyote to limits at least one
hundred miles west of Menominee
county.
But the two skins just received were
in excellent condition and were ac-
companied by the skulls. by the aid of
which Identification was established
beyond the least question. This APP
parently indicates that the coyote has
extended its range easterly. The fed
eral officials intend to learn definitely
whether this is so. A plan rs now
being considered to have Clarence
Birdseye, who is now trapping timber
wolves i'm the upper peninsula, go in
to Menominee county and trap for
coyotes. If he catches any this will be
taken as final proof that the coyotes
range has been extended.
Requires Special Legislation.
Under any circumstances the chances
are that il Is only a matter of time
before the coyote ranges over the
greater part of the upper peninsula
and perhaps over the lower peninsula
as WELL Formerly the coyote did not
get east of Minnesota, but with the
cutting of timber he has swept over
the greater part of Wisconsin. II is
his evident inclination to go where
man goes, providing the settlements
are not too dense.
The Michigan legislature will have
TO face the coyote question anyhow.
The two animals are altogether diff
ferent in size and habits. The copote
more nearly resembles the fox in size
and disposition. While the timber
wolf almost exclusively lives on deer,
the coyote is too small to attack a
deer unless IL is wounded. The tim
Der wolf keeps as far as possible from
human settlements. The coyote fights
with the dogs and sneaks up to the
, garbage can for a midnight lunch. II
lives on sheep. pigs and rabbits and
other small animals. So, from the
farmers standpoint 1t is a bad best,
though IT may be doubtful whether
coyotes will ever kill as many sheep i'm
Michigan as do the dogs. Coyotes can
be fenced against without serious diff
| ficulty.

COYOTES FOUND
IN THIS STATE
WESTERN PEST is AT LAST IN
VADlNG MICHIGAN AND Gov
EMINENT WILL lNvES-
TIGATE.

Michigan's bounty law will be sub
Jected TO important changes by the
next legislature, according TO the
present outlook. A prominent state
official has asked the advice of the de-
partment OF agriculture about changes
which should be made. These may be
Incorporated i'm a model bill which will
be introduced i'm the legislature. The
necessity for a change in the law has
been brought out by Uncle Sans re-
cent investigation into the wolf ques-
ton.
AT present the Michigan bounty law
stands as an attractive bait for all the
wolN es and coyotes within shipping
distance. The bounty for a grown
wolf, S25, is the largest offered by any
state i'm the Union. Wisconsin pays
$40 for a full grown wolf and 81 for
a whelp. Michigan pays SO for
whelp. Minnesota is even more eco
nomioal than Wisconsin, with boun-
ty of $3.50 for full grown wolf and
So for a whelp.
obviously this different i'm bounty
tends to encourage the shipment of
scalps from Wisconsin into Michigan
and it is accepted among the federal
experts as beyond question that the
three states ought to work I'm harmony
as TO the amount of bounty offered for
the various kinds of noXious animals.
The result may be an interstte confer
ence between the interested officials.
with view to making the bounty uni
form.

SLAIN MAN |S MUT|LATEDI
SON OF RICH FARMER IS FOUND
 BY ROADSIDE.
Solution of Mysterious and Bloody Affair Puzzles Police of St.
 Louis County, Mo.

St. Louis, Oct. 14.-The solution of the murder mystery that developed in St. Louis county with the finding of the mutilated body of Ferdinand Greedy, son of a well-todo farmer, by the roadside near the city limits, is proving most difficult.
 Motives for the murder, for such the authorities agree it only can be, is wanting. Much less can be fath- omed the motive for the terrible mu- tilation of the body
 When the body of the young man he was just 27 years old and unmar- ried-was found, recognition from the features was impossible. The scalp was torn from the head as complete ly and as ruthlessly as though 1t were the work of savage butchers. The ears were cropped off, and the flesh above the cheek bones had been torn away in strips. The nose was miss ing. The skull was almost as bare as If it had been the subject of students on . dissection table.
 It was only from the clothing that remained on the body that identiflca- tion was made possible. Two $1 bills were found in the pockets. which adds to the belief that robbery was not the motive.
 Greedy was the son of Frank Greedy, a Florissant valley farmer The Greedy home is not more than two miles from the aviation field. and 1t was here that young Greedy had his last em. ployment. in the capacity of a guard.

 of Dodging Detectives.

Leavenworth. Kan, Oct. 14-Pre- ferring to return to prison father than to be bounded constantly by the belief that he was being pursued by detectives, John Sportman, an escaped convict, surrendered himself at the Kansas ssate prison in Lansing.
 Sportman and John Wilgus, both of whom were trustees, escaped from the penitentiary several months ago. Sportman went into Missouri and ob- tained a position on a farm. But the fear that he was being spied upon by detectives worried him greatly.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM MISSION TAKES TWO MONTHS
 MORE FOR TESTIMONY.
AFFECTS WESTERN ROADS
Photographic Advices From Washing. ton State That No Increases in Railroad Rates Can Come
 Before February 1.

St Louis, Oct. 14.-Western ship pers scored an important point in their fight against the increase of railroad rates when, according to tel egraphic dispatches from Washington, 1t was announced that the interstate commerce commission had issued an order holding up the proposed in- crease in rates scheduled to take eff feet November 1 until February 1.
 Western Railroads Affected.
 The order affects the railroads in official classification territory, west ern trunk lines and Missouri and Illinois freight committee terri tory
 Notice in the proposed increase in rates was filed with the interstate commission nearly six months ago, and the commission has been con- ducting an investigation to ascertain if there was ground for the increase. The hearing has been broad in its scope, and the commission finds it can not examine all the testimony by November l.
 No Increases Until After February l..
 By the order of the interstate com merce commission there can be no increase in rates until after February l, and the shippers will be given that additional time in which to file fur ther testimoney.
 A month ago the railroads were no tified by the interstate commerce com mission that the rates of the western lines, but not in the classification of the roads affected by the present or der, were prohibited from being raised until January II.

RAINS MAKE ROADS lMPASSABLE AND sUBURBANITEs CAN NOT
 REACH OFFICES.
FIVE LEADERS ARRESTED
Authorities and Police Act With Firm. ness That Challenges Admiration Even of Those Who Favor
 Cause of Men.

Paris, Oct. 14.-The French govern ment is meeting the situation result ing from the general strike of railroad employees with firmness that chal- lenges the admiration even of those who sympathize with the men in their demands for a minimum wage of $1 a day. Five of the strike leaders were arrested.
 This was in fulfillment of Premier Briand's promise to punish the agi- tors who, he has declared, precipi- tated an insurrectionary movement at the hour the premier and M. Mille- rand, minister of public works, posts and telegraphs, were conducting ne gotiations for a peaceful adjustment of differences between the railroad managers and the employees.
 The National Railroad union has thoroughly demoralized the service on the Northern and Western systems, but it had less success in the Eastern and Southern lines.
 Other Unions Strike.
 The men of the Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean road are nominally on strike and the Eastern system is severely hampered, but many trains are being operated as usual on the former system. The employees of the Paris Orleans road and the Paris sub- way voted to go out, but the subway lines were being operated as usual.
 The strikers hope rests largely in the prospect of sympathetic strikes The bricklayers and payers have voted general strike. Other trades unions are meeting and are expressing similar intentions.
 The five strike leaders who were arrested attempted dramatic scene by assembling in the office of the Humanite, Socialist newspaper. where they passed the night in the company of virtually the complete Socialist delegation of the chamber of deputies, awaiting the arrival of the police. When the officers arrived and the deputies began to mako in. nammatory speeches. the prefect of police cut the proceedings short and hustled the leaders of in cabs.
 Violence ls DiscIalmed.
 The mobilization of railroad reserv. ists ordered by the government is pro ceeding. Tho men have responded in large numbers, but as yet they have not been ordered to take up the work of the strikers.
 Thousands of suburbanites were further inconvenienced bya delugs Of rain which made many of the roads leading into the city impossible to pedestrians. AS consequence many failed to report at their offices and the business of the city was upset.
 A number of acts of violence against the rolling stock is reported from tho provinces. The strikers disclaim Pe- sponsibility for these, saying the dam- age has been done by persons not con nected with the railroads.
