PROTECTION FOR
GAME NECESSARY
Charles T.. Brewster, Of the u. s
Department of Agriculture. Saws
Arkansas Legislature Must
Act at Once.

Little Rock, Dec. i4.-"If the next
two legislatures do not pass some
needed game laws, or in other
words, if the conditions are not
remedied within four years, Ar
kansas will be practically without
game" declared Charles +. Brews-
ter, representing the United States
Department of Agriculture, during
his visit to Little Rock Monday. Mr..
Brewster is travelling in the interest
of game protection and is making q
thorough investigation of the con-
diiinns in this state. While in Lit
lie Rock he held lengthy confer
ence with f. V. Visart, who for the
past three years has acted as game
warden.
Mr.. Brewster heartily endorsed
the plans of Mr.. Visart for new
laws. Mr.. Visart is working up the
proposition of securing adequate
hunting restrictions by the initia-
tory plan.
Mr.. Brewster declared Arkansas
has more laws than are needed, but
that the state has no means Of en-
forcing them. He added that Ar
kansas is the only state in the union
which has no. license and warden

UNITED STATES
SHORT ON WOMEN
Census Bureau Gives Out Figures
Showing That for Every 1O6
Men There Are Only
100 Women.

Washington, Dec. IA prelim-
mary statement giving for CONT
mental United States the distribu-
tion of the population according to
sex, as shown by the returns of the
thirteenth decennial census, taken
as of April Is, 1910, was issued yes
terday by Director Durand of the
bureau of the census.
In the United States as a whole
there are 47,332,i22 males and A.
640i44 females, or a proportion Of
i06 males for every 100 females.
Considerable interest attaches to
| the deviation from the numerical
equality of the two sexes noted.
While it is commonly assumed that
| the two sexes are equal in number,
the fact is that there is always a
slight difference between them.
Most northern European countries
show an excess of females. The
contrary fact in the United States
has been generally ascribed to the
effects Of immigration. as it is we'll
known that among immigrants the
males predominant TO a large ex-
tent.
Among the foreign whites there
are 1892 males for every 100 fe-
males, this proportion rejecting the
familiar fact already noted with
respect to the excess of males
among immigrants.
But this excess of males is also
found in the largest single group Of
the population of the United States
the native white of native par
ents. OF the latter there are 25,-
229,294 males and 24,259,i47 females,
or a proportion of i04 males for ev-
cry 100 females. This disparity is
due wholly to natural causes.
The small group, "all other" in
which there are nearly twice as
many males as females, is composed
of Indians and immigrant Asiastics,
the latter being mainly male.
Why There Are More Males.
AT birth the number of males al
ways exceeds the number of fe-
males, but male mortality is always
greater than female. Consequently
through the excess Of male deaths,
the number Of females gradually
approaches that Of males and in
the later years of life exceeds it.
In countries where the death rate
is high an equality is reached at a
comparatively early age.
On the other hand, the negroes,
with their greater death rate, show
the same result as is observed in
European countries, namely, an APP
preciable excess of females in the
population both in 1910 and 1900.

A TAR PARTY IS
COSTLY SPORT
Plea of Guilty and Convictions
Leave the Participants Exposed
to Claims for Dam
ages.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. ii.-Miss Mary
chamberlain, the victim of the
Shady Bend tar party" will, it is
said, receive not less than $4,000
damages and it is probable that the
courts have heard the last of the
affair.
Miss Chamberlain intended to
bring suits for damages against all
the participants in the outrage, but
proceedings are said to be now I'M
der way for a compromise, and it
is said that $4,000 is the least her
attorneys will accept.
The three men, f. G. Clark, Jay
Fitzwater and Watson Scranton,
who pleaded guilty, and John
Schmidt, who was convicted, are
said to be worth in the aggregate
more than 100000, Clark alone be-
ing rated in excess of $4,000. Their
pleas of guilty and the conviction
of Schmidt leaves thcm exposed to
an action for damages. II is said
that upon the advice of their at
torneys they are attempting a com
promise rather than to go into
court.
Clark has transferred his -four
and feed mill and other property.
valued at more than $4,000, to his
business partner, and is said to be
preparing to leave town. This ac-
ton, however, can be set aside in
the courts.
There is talk, also in Shady Bend
of changing the name of the VIII
lage.
The almost unanimous condcm-
nation of the press has fallen like
a blight, and the people are. eager
to get from under it. They say
that as long as the town retains the
name it will be held up to scorn and
its inhabitants marked wherever
they go.

IMPRISONMENT THE THING.
One Way TO Make Big Corporations
Toe the Mark.

Washington, Dec. i3.-George w.
Perkins, director of the United
States Steel Corporation, told the
senate interstate commerce com
mittee today that the practical way
to give the country's big business
firms relief from the existing un-
certainty would be to create in the
commerce and labor department a
labor court, with power to license
corporations doing an interstate or
international business. Violations
of the regulations laid down by
such commission, he urged, should
be punishable by Imprisonment of
the individuals, rather than by re-
vocation of licenses.

II Law We're More Rigidly Enforced
Grimes Would BE Fewer, Thinks
Oklahoma Judge-It'S Diff
ferent in England.

Oklahoma City, Dec. i3.-The ap-
peals of two Oklahoma City negroes
now under sentence Of death were
decided by the criminal court of
appeals. Columbus James Holman
must suffer the death penalty for
his part in the murder of w. H.
Archie in a hold-up here
last March, while Newton Henry,
convicted of the murder of Charles
Lucas, another negro, in Packing
town, is given a new trial and an
other chance for his life.
Every Contention OverruIed.
In the Holmes case every eonten-
ton raised by his counsel is over
ruled 1t is held that his confess
sion was admissible, and was not
obtained under duress; that all par
ticulars in a conspiracy to do an
unlaful act must abide by the con-
sequences of that act, and that it
could not be said that Holmes with
drew from the conspiracy before
the fatal shot was fired, inasmuch
as he shared in the proceeds of the
robbery. It is also held that the
evidence does not sustain the con-
tention that Holmes and the others
ran away, leaving Prather alone
with his victim when the shot was
fired, and that the refusal of an
instruction in regard to previous
good character was not material.
since his own admission of partici-
patton in the crime took the ques-
ton of character out Of the case.
The point that the prosecution
was started under one subdivision
of the statute and conviction Sc
cured under another. on which es-
pecial stress was laid, is held to be
altogether too technical. In that
connection the court says in an
opinion by Presiding Judge Fur
man:
Are Too Many LOOphOleS.
"There are already too many
loopholes for the escape of the
guilty in our system Of jurisprud-
ence. In our judgment that is the
prime cause for this want of respect
for law and the lack Of confidence
in the courts which pervades our
people and also for the low esteem
in which life is held in America"
Judge Furman quotes from Of
fetal figures compiled by the Brit
ish government to show that there
were only fl murder trials in Lon
don in 1903, II in 1904. 40 in 1905, and
eight in 1908, and that so per cent
of the criminal prosecutions in
England result in convictions. He
states that no official statistics are
available for America, but quotes
from figures published by the Chi
cago Tribune under date of De-
cember 8, 1910. which shows that
exclusive of suicides and lynchings,
1915 persons met their death by
violence during the year.
He also quotes from the report of
the same date to the effect that
there were POP homicides in Chi
cago during the year, and but one
sentenced to be hanged.
Gives Figures on Crime.
He compares that with the rec
ords in London. with 100000 peo-
pie, of less than one murder a
month, and also points out that all
though London has four times the
population Of the whole state Of Ok
lahoma, in Oklahoma county alone
there have been twice as many
trials for murder during 1911 as
there were in London in 1906.

MARINES WIN SHOOT
Several Surprises on Final Day of Ma
tional Team Match

One of the most successful national
rifle team matches ever shot was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon at Camp
Perry, Ohio. OF the forty-two teams
entered all but one finished.
New Jersey withdrew after the
/ ,000-yard stage and left for home.
The first place was won by the United
States Marines. The shooting yester-
day was at 600 and 1000 yards slow
fire and the skirmish; the first range
was finished about 10 O'Clock, the Sec
ond at O'Clock. This delayed the
skirmish match, which was not finish
ed until evening, as there were eleven
runs of forty-eight men each.
A 12-mile wind blowing diagonally
across the range from the targets gave
the rifiemen plenty of sport at all the
ranges, particularly at 1000 yards,
where the relative positions of sew
eral of the teams were constantly
changing. creating the greatest inter-
est in the score board. The lead
which the Army infantry had Monday
night, however, was never taken from
them up to the skirmish, where ii was
always a gamble.
The surprises of the day We're the
good position taken by Massachu-
sets, the rise of Ohio from twelfth
to fifth place, and the splendid fight
New York made from twenty-second
place to sixth. When the teams
drew for runs for the skirmish the
infantry led Massachusetts by 20
points, but the other leaders We're
close to each other and the skirmish
was counted on to either raise or
lower the fortunes of those three in
the field who were closely punched.
The honors for the several ranges
in the match were as follows: At
200 yards, the marines slow fire, the
marines with a total of sis; at 200
yards, rapid fire, the Army infantry
with 555; at 600 yards, slow fire, the
marines with sci; at 1000 yards,
New York with SIS; at the skirmish
the marines with LOSS. The -four
highest teams in each class receiv the
medals and trophies which are provid.
| ed for by Congress.
Today the national Individual revol.
yer match and the united service
matches will be shot. The latter is ;
| revolver match.
