DEER HUNTERS COMPLAIN
OF TOO MANY WILD TURKEYS
Assert That HEY Are a Hlndrance
to Sportsmen Who Are Out for
r-7A Larper Game.

DILLEY, Tex, Jan. 20--Wild tur.
keys are 30 numerous in the Leona
River district that they are complain
ed of as a nuisance by some OF the
deer hunters.
The Leona is less than IS miles
long. Notwithstanding the fact that
great numbers OF wild turkeys are
killed along the Leona river each sea
son. they seem TO multiply rapidly.
Heb~Little tells Of seeing mort than
500 turkeys in one drove
The complaint which deer hunters
are making about the wild turkeys is
that the fowls are SO plentiful as TO
distract their attention when looking
for the larger game.
"One morning while | was walking
through the river bottom hunting
deer saw not less than. 1000 wild
turkeys said Henry Resdell, of San
Antonio. There were nine drQyes of
these turkeys. | could not resist TAX
Ing a few snap shots at them, getting
my full quota under the law, but what
/ objected 10 was that they kept me
from getting a deer. Every one in
camp was tired of Wild turkey meat.
and It was deer that we were after"

.DOREnUS WILL
HAND OUT Tips
Suggestions for improvements in
Keeping Accounts in Various De-
partment To Go To Council.

Controller Doremus will shortly
send to the council a list OF recon-
mendations for ordinances TO change
the financial methods prevailing In
the various city departments. These
suggestions come as the result OF
Doremus' experience in the control
ler office. and are In the nature or
farewell advice. as his term ends
June 80.
One thing which Doremus particu-
larry desires is an ordinance requiring
all city departments To turn in cash
collections daily TO the city treasurer.
The department of public works and
police court now work under ord
inances governing their collection or
money, but other departments turn
over their cash receipts at irregular
intervals.
big change In the bookkeeping or
the department OF public works Is sug-
gested. He asks that all acquisitions
for material be reported to the con-
troller's office at once and charged
against the proper account. At pres
ent brick, sand, cement and other
| materials are carried in material &C
counts. Foremen send in their reQuisi-
| tons and the material is credited on
the material account and charged TO
the job. The complete reports as to
! streets are not made out until winter,
however, and at the present time only
$4,000 OF credits against material ac-
counts OF $229,000 are in the control
ler's office.
This change would simply enforce
the spirit of the charter provisions"
says Deputy Controller Nagel. st
would require more detail work, but
| do not know that IT would entail any
additional help either in the con-
troller's Office or in the department
of public works. 1t was April last
year before we had all the accounts
for paving for the previous season
Strengthened out"
Inventories OF all the real estate
and personal property of the city as
well as an inventory OF all property
exempted from taxation are suggested
by Doremus. He would have these
inventories made by the departments,
thus entailing little, II any, extra ex-
pense. The tables OF values now car
ried in the controllers report vary
considerably from the figures of the
departments, and corrections would
be desirable.
With regard to listing exempted
property, 1t may be found that the
causes for exempting certain pieces
have passed away. In which case the
property could again be placed on the
rolls.
That deeds to all city property, ex-
lcept schools and water board prop
erty. be filed with the controller 10
another suggestion, and a final idea Is
that the proceedings OF the school
board be printed in a daily newspaper.
Commissioner Haarer, or the depart
ment OF public works differs with
Doremus as to the best method OF
handling material charges. He be-
lieves that the present system of car
lrying material accounts and reporting
TO the controller at intervals is a pre-
Eferable plan.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS ON
ROCKS, SAYS CLARK HOWELL

NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan 20
The Democratic party Is in deplor-
able condition. The present fight IN
the ranks OF the Republican party
will not diminish It's strength. II Har-
mon carries Ohio next fall he will be
the presidential nominee In 1912"
This Is the view OF Clark Howell,
editor OF the Atlanta Constitution and
the Oldest member In point OF ser.
vice OF the Democratic national com.
mittee.
This internal fuss in the ranks OF
the Republicans" he continued in an
interview today really amounts TO
nothing so far as the fighting strength
Of the Republican party goes. This
fight seems TO be a hard one but such
rows have been going on for forty
years and when the time comes for
election the Republicans put up u
uniform front.
The Democratic party is in n de-
plorable condition It's organization
is shattered. Generalship OF the sort
We haven't had for sixteen years will
be required 10 put It into form.
