PAINFUL CALIFORNIA TRAGEDY
COMES INTO STOCKTON COURT

LODI (San Joaquin Coz, Oct %
Samuel B. AXtell, former editor of the
Lodi Sentinel, will be placed on trial
tomorrow at Stockton for the murder
of Charles Sollars of this city. Over
one hundred witnesses have been
summoned from Lodi and vicinity.
The case promises to be one of great
interest Both the accused and the
man whom he shot were prominent in
San Joaquin county and well known in
adjoining counties.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
trial is so near at hand, the defense is
yet a matter of conjecture, but among
his friends in this city the impress
sion is that insanity from worry will
be urged as a motive for the shooting
of Sollars.
Axtell shot Sollars in a garage as
the latter was removing the hood of
his automobile preparatory to making
repairs. He fired at Sollars several
times, wounding him so that he died

RUSSIAN SHEEP FARMING DECLINES;
LANO OWNERSHIP IN TRANSITION

Russia is beginning to realize she
must go in future for wool and NUT
ton, unless its present efforts at re-
vival of the home industry are sue
cessful
There are only two types of sheep
in Russia, the common coarse-wool
sheep and the cross-bred Merino-the
latter being much fewer in numbers
The sheep are small and yield an
average of but four pounds to the
fleece, due to inbreeding and poor
range conditions. Persons employed
as shepherds do not receive more than
ten to twenty cents a day, the pay be-
ing given in supplies required for
their homes. Frequently, according TO
the Consul's report, whole families are
engaged in looking after the flocks, in
which event they receive a bare liv-
ing wage in farm products, no money
changing hands.
The Russian and Siberian steepes
have in recent years been occupied
by immense hocks of sheep, where
range conditions are much better than
in European Russia. Land in this sec
ton of the empire is in state of
transition from government owner
ship and immense ancestral estates to
small tracts for the peasantry.

From a purely scientific organiza-
ticn, its objects altruistic and senti-
mental rather than practical, the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Soci-
cites has grown into a mighty power
whose actions nave a potent bearing
upon many matters of public lmpor-
lance. At the annual meeting of the
association in New Cork several new
plans for the extension of protective
measures for the birds and animals of
the United States will be considered.
Considerable attention will be given
to the two recently enacted laws Sc
cured through the Audubon associa-
Ition in New York state and to a bill
opposing one of these laws, which it
is expected will be presented in the
state legislature this winter. These
three legislative acts are known as
the Bayne law, the Shea law and the
Levy bill and are attracting much at
tention at present since their influ-
ence affects several other states.
The Bayne law limits the sale of
native birds in the market, whether
coming from within or without the
state of New York 1t also prohibits
the sale of all game birds imported
from foreign countries unless they
are properly tagged or labeled and
the said tag must not be removed until
the bird is to be consumed. EXcep-
tions to the law are made for accredit-
ed persons authorized by the Forest,
Fish and Game Department" to breed
game birds and animals in captivity.
When such animals are ready to kill,
a permit for the killing must be Sc
cured from the magistrate and the
| killing must not be done with gun.
Pheasants, mallard ducks and field
ducks, when properly tagged, may be
! sold in the New York market between
October 1, 1911, and March /, 1912,
after which the Bayne law becomes
effective.
/ The Shea law, which went into eff
feet the first of last July, relates en-
/ tirely to the protection of those nat
/ i've birds whose plumage is used for
millinery purposes. This law prohi
| bits the sale in New York of heron
aigrettes and also of the plumage of
any native game birds. 1t was stOutly
opposed by certain millinery inter
ests. The Levy bill was intended to
nullify the Shea law, 1t was present
ed to the New York Legislature last
spring and lacked only seven votes of
being passed. Since it is to be
brought forward again this winter, the
national association will consider
means of strengthening the forces that
oppose it.
Other States Have Laws.
The prohibition of tn. sale of this
character of plumage in New York
led to the formation of large con
Germ which began business a few
weeks ago in Philadelphia. This com
pany will handle the forbidden plum
Iage and send it wherever it can be
received But New York is not the
only state having restrictive laws up
on that subject. Aigrettes and the
plumage of native game birds are not
allowed to be sold in Massachusetts,
Ohio, Missouri, Louisiana, Washing
ton, Oregon and California. When it
is considered that these states in
