Quail in Southern California

Los Angeles Correspondence San Fran
 cisco Chronicle
 Ranchers from the Coachella valley re- port that quail are so thick in the valley that crops of all kinds are being de- troyed, despite the efforts of the state game wardens who are now trapping the birds by thousands and sending them to other sections of the state. One rancher said he saw one covey of quail that must have contained 5,0OO birds.
 ''They were so thick the sunlight was shut out when they flew past" he said. "The quail are very wise,' he continued, land hunters find trouble in shooting them. while trapping Is still more diff flcult"

Widow of Count Tolstoy Gets PensiOn-Wrestler
 Is Killed
By GEORGE FRASER

St. Petersburg, March 2.-(SpeciaL)- The arrest of Colonel Kuliabko, who was head of the secret police at the time of the assassination of M. Stoly- pin, is another step in the work or the reorganization of the third section The nominal charge against Kuliabko is that he embedded secret service funds but the general impression IS that there is merely a pretence and that the Czar has become concerned that the whole secret police system Is rotten and that a good part at least of the terrorism in Russia is the direct work of agents provocateur.
 In the senate al St. Petersburg the trial in camera of 150 members of the Amerian revolutionary party has begun. Three hundred and thirty witnesses will be called. The case for the prosecu- ton is that a series of arre>iS made in Tihis Vladikavakas and RostoH, be- tween 1907 and 1910, revealed the Tact that members of the secret society known as the Dashnaksiutium, which was founded by Turkish Armenians in 1890 to secure the liberation of Armen- ians under Turkish rule, began after 1904 to assume a revolutionary and anti Russian character. The new aim of the society was to establish @ Cau-' casian federated republic, and it is all legged that since 1906 it's members have been guilty of a regular series of ter rorists outrages on Russian officials.
 A wrestling match which ended fatal ly is reported from Lodz, Russian Pol and.
 During the international contest in that town the famous Italian champion, Cartage-L wrestled with Stanislas Cy- ganceiv-c7, a '.ed thenian champion.
 After a prolonged struggle Cartageni succeeded in throwing his powerful adversary. The Ruthes..an fell on his back, and died instantly.
 The umpires declared that Cartagenf5 wrestling was quite correct.
 An empty sledge, drawn by two horses belonging to an onicial named Kosnelow came into the Russian from tier station of Cukov1a on Sunday.
 A search was made along the road. and some fragments of Kosnelow's clothing were found, and further back the bones of seven freshly killed wolves.
 The official had evidently been pur- sued by pack of wolves, and had shot a number of them, but ultimately he must either have been pulled out of the sledge or haven fallen out of it, and been torn to pieces.
 In curious circumstances a fine new school has been built at the little town of Feodorina, in Russia. The towns folk erected 1t from the proceeds of a voluntary tax of penny per glass of vodka consumed, which they imposed on themselves for a whole year.

MAY HAVE BEEN
POSSIBLE JOKER.
Traction Engine Law Expired Novem-
Der 10, 1910 and Iowa Assembly
Makes No New
Statute.
UP TO ATTY GENERAL
Supervisors Evidently Overlook tho
Intent Of the Law and Fail to
Comply With Assembly
Wishes.

Whether it intended to do SO or not,
the thirty-third general assembly slip
lped a nice little joker into the laws
governing the running of traction en-
!gines on country roads andtcity streets
that is now being heard from In more
ways than one by the attorney gen.
feral's Office.
Section q of chapter 102 OF the tl1ir-
ty-third general assembly says that
until the first day of November, 1910,
no traction engine shall cross any
bridge, crossing or culvert in public
highway Cd street unless strong planks
be put under the wheels
On November |. 1910, therefore, the
law expired and traction engines could
be moved without going to the labor
and expense Of putting two inch
planks over every bridge and culvert
in the roadway. The evident intent Of
the law was to have all the counties
and ali the boards of supervisors of
the counties see to it that their cul-
verts were made of concrete and their
bridges strong enough to carry trac-
ton engines.
But it is evident from the complaints
which the attorney general is getting
that the supervisors failed to read the
intent in the law. The traction men
evidently know the law, and are not
|planking the crossings as they formel.
ly were required to do.
The officials of one county wrote to
the attorney general, asking him if
they could recover damages for broken
culverts caused by threshing machines
and traction engines. The reply to
this was that no damages could be col
lected because of the expiration of the
law as per chapter 102, and there was
nothing said about penalties.
Now the city council at Stuart, Iowa,
has formulated an ordinance prohibit.
ing the running of traction
engines in the city and roads
controlled by the city unless
the crossings are planked. The
city clerk hhs written to the attorney
general if TIE ordinance would be
legal.
G. A. Robbins. assistant to the at
torney general, is. busy looking UP
authorities on the subject. The law
plainly states that no city may draft
ordinances contrary to state laws, but
the question arises as to whether this
law being dead, the proposed city
ordinance would be in conflict.
