NEW INDUSTRY OF
 GAME PROPAGATION

CFso1srth Article in Connecticut Sports mems Series.) By Herbert K. Job. State OrnithoIo- The fact that the farmers and sportsanen of New York State last summer raised to maturity 10, 900 young Oregon pheasants from 20, O0O eggs distributed from the State Game Farm, aided by a. simple 1eaflet of in l structdons, Is full of suggestion for us
 tn Connecticut, as well as for the peo- pie every where
 Here, for instance, iS a. good respon- sfble young man, a.: farmers son, who
 wants to earn money to go to college He applies to the game farm, and sets under a common hen, and matches say, 15 chicks He keeps them shut in, with the hen for a few days, till they learn the hens call Then he lets them range with the hen, pro- tecting them from cats and vermin feeding them a little, but letting them pick up most of their living them selves. About ten of them, accord ing to the average. of returned blanks, survive accidents and grow LID. At the approach of the restless period, them with grain into a pen, and he has nice batch Of valuable game birds. with hardly any trouble or ex- pense. Perhaps he sells them, or per haps keeps some for breeding next year, when, as each hen lays upwards of 70 eggs a season. he raises many more birds.
 Recent experiments indicate that the same will shortly be done with quail and other game-birds. When we have our Central State Game Farm of Con nect1cut, with branches over the State to distribute game-birds and their eggs to the farmers and sportsmen, there will be more game-birds in our covers than have been seen for many years. As more people do this, of course the present high price Of game will drop. but the market demand for game is enormous. and will always be Laws must be passed at once to per init the sale of game-b birds artificfally reared, as in other States. Game bird rearing a small or moderate scale can be practioedl with very little expense The young are reared in the open, and do almost no harm, but feed mainly on insects. Such work will provide 8 valuable food supply and prove source of extra revenue The average farm of fair size should shortly, under proper encourage ement by the State, be able at least to pay it's own taxes through game-birtls
 The way to begin Is in the small way above outlined, first to learn how To start in on a. large scafe is

TRY TO ROB
 WOMEN IN AUTO
TWO UNKNOWN MEN JUMP ONTO CAR IN LONELY SPOT ON WOODBRIDGE ROAD-UP-
 SET BY SUDDEN START.

New Haven, Dec. 27-The attempt of two unknown Italians to rob Mrs R. L. Bishop and g. woman compan- ion on the old Seymour turnpike as they were proceeding by auto to Sey- naour. yesterday. might have resulted in a serious accident had not Frank Dooltttle and his brother, Herbert Doo1ittle. heard the cries of the wom- chine from it's entrenchment in a bank of snow and mud.
 Mrs. Bishop was driving the car, between and o'clock When she turns off to go to Seymour,s at the Woodbridge town line, two men jump ed out from some bushes on the road and mounted the steps. One tried to reach thee steering wheel but was brushed aside by Mrs. Bishop who put on full speed The sudden speed threw the two men into a snow bank, and the women badly frightened, turned off the main road onto what is known as the Rsavine road, an unfre- Quented bypath which eventually would take them out onto the main road. In her haste to get away from the men, who she thought were still pursuing, Mrs. Bishop did not pay particular attention to where the auto was going, until she found 1t at the head of a steep ravina. Then she was unable to turn the machine one way or the other
 Both women shouted and Herbert and Frank DOO1itt1e, who were in the home of the latter eating their dinner. rushed out. After intellectual efforts to steer the machine out of the en- trenchment. the men pushed it back reached the main road, when Mrs Bishop came to this city No trace of the men could be seen. but Mrs Bishop is more than certain that they wanted to get money, a considerable amount of which she carried at the time.

STERILIZATION LAW
 IS CONSTITUTIONAL
That is Ruling of Attorney Gen. eral Light on Radical
 Enactment of 1909

Hartford, Dec. 26.
 Ttat the law enacted at the session of the General Assembly in 1909 for the prevention of procreation in the case of criminals is constitutional is the substance Of an opinion given yesterday by Attorney General John H Light to Warden Ward A. Gar ner of the Connecticut state prison. The opinion says in part:
 Some features of OUT statute, in my judgment, are objectionable and should be changed, but I find nothing irtrinsically unreasonable in the law It applies sq11ally to all of certain classes of persons, which persons may islation for the protection from them of the community at large. It may be taken as a deterInination by the Cen eraI Assembly that a. law of this kind is necessary for the preservation of public health and morals, and no one at all familiar with the facts will question the essential Justice of such determination The classes of per sons to which the statute applies are capable of enfiangering the health morals and good character of our peO- pie and adding greatly to the sum of human suffering. There is no dis crimination among the members of such classes. There are no individ- ual rights under the constitution su- perior to the common welfare The whole of society is greater than any of it's parts. No man is permitted to claim the right to beget children with an inherited tendency to crime, insan- fty, feeble-mindedness idtocy or i'm becility In determining the consti- tutionaHty of such law there may be ground for some distinction betweeH different classes of individuals em- brasced within it's terms. NO one will question that the sterilization of idiots and 1rnbeciles may be regarded within the police power Of the state, but some may doubt whether the steriliza- ton of criminals can be supported on the same ground. believe that the sterilization of such criminals as are included within the prrview of our statute may be. For the foregoing reasons I am of the opinion that. the statute in question Is consfttuIti ona1."

DISPUTE OVER ROAD
Orange People Want State Highway
 in Three Places.

TE1e question as to where the new state highway shall be run through Orange, is a matter which is keeping g many of the residents guessing lately, as bids for the road have been put in by West Haven. Orange Center and Ctarkeville, with the indications point ing strongly in the favor of the first named.
 A strong point put forward by the members of the West Haven commit tee which is looking into the question, is the fact that if the road is placed through West Haven and over the Forest street route hundreds of auto ists coming into New Haven for the big games will take the short route to the new Yale field and thereby les sen the congestion. of traffic in the center of the city Again, they argue that the Forest street route is but one mile, while all of the other routes proposed are at least two miles or over.

New Haven Dec. 27@The task of finding a house in New Haven in which President Taft can live when he leaves the White House to become Kent professor of law at Yale has been intrueted to a Yale man in the real estate business here, and it is no easy task. Few houses are available, and of these only two or three would meet the needs of the President
 It Is practically impossible to find a house for sale along E1illhoIse ave rr1e.- ana though one. which was desir- able in "a great many. respects was picked by the agent for the President, 1t was dscovered that the price was prohibitiye.

to invite disaster. As a business, on any considerable scale, the matter the poultry industry, as there are even more dangers The thing is new, but there are just a few men in this coun- try who are real experts in rearing sors of a sort of natural tact in handling birds. They cost more than @ choreIboy, but are we'll worth the difference. One of these should be se- cured here in Connecticut, both to propagate game-birds for distribution to stock up the State and to instruct State may have a supply of expert men who are greatly needed and for whom there is large demand. At our Agricultural College and 8torrs Ex- the general method, on small scale, and could use to great advantage sach a man as above.
 A demand has arisen Tor trained men to propagate game and increase bird life on game preserves and large estates. We have on file applica- tions from some of the richest men and clubs in America for trained prop- agators of game-bfrds and w1ldfow1. Therefore the trustees of the college are asking the operation of the pay the salary of such man, who will both raise birds and eggs for distribution under the commission, and to help to train students and others on the farms of Connecticut By Such an arrangement, in a. comparatively short time we could p1rt a number of the sons Of our own agricultural fahn- flies into positions with good salaries, which are even now ready for them
 A new Commission of Fisheries and Game is to De appointed by the Gov Grange organization, and the sports men should see to it that no person is appointed to this commission who will not absolutely pledge himself in advance to this progressive policy of the encouragement and extension of the propagation Of our American game-birds in the interest of the peo- pie at large.

~ HICAGO, May 15.-Jack Cor
ley. whose dual duties as
manager of Jim Flynn and
promoter of the Johnson Flynn
Championship battle at Las Vegas,
y. NJ, July 4, sit easily upon him,
is about as light hearted over this
affair as man who stands to win
a fortune could we'll be The fact
that he stands to lose heavily is
one of the least of Curley's trou-
bles
Here's one of the reasons for the
big smile Curley is flashing
There's an advance sale of over
$4,000 already for the fight
Quick as the announcement was
made that Las Vegas was the spot
selected for the exchange of
punches between the white and the
black, Las Vegas business men to
the number of rs planked down so
seeds each for the seats immedi-
ately around the ring.
Dawson Sends in $4,000
The Commercial club also kicked
in with a cash offering of $4,000
for a block of the $25 ducats, max
ing the total of $4,000 in the box
before the tickets were even print
ed. Then Dawson, \. NJ, sent in
q certified check for $4,000, the
price of 500 $40 tickets.
OF course, that isn't great sale,
but it is tremendous, figures Cur
ley, when it is remembered that the
tickets were disposed of almost
within "a hours of the decision Civ
ing the battle to Las Vegas.
The reservations now in the
hands of the Las Vegas people who
are handling the details of the af-
fair under the sharp eyes of Art
Greiner, Curley's secretary, foot up
close to 100000 more already-but
it is not the cash in hand.
The battle will be a success
financially, l am sure Curley said
just before leaving for the
West with his fighter. Il figure
that way because of the astonish-
ing spirit being shown by the peo-
pie OF New Mexico in helping me
push things along. That spirit is
bound to succeed.
Costs Fortune to Stage.
But Just listen to what we have
got to take in before we can fig
ure on any sort of profit First of
all, there will be Johnson's end of
s311Oo 10 be paid to him before
he enters the ring and is his ir-
respective of the outcome Of the
battle.
We've figured our best on the
arena and find it can not be put
up for a penny short of $12.5OO It
could be made cheaper. but we
want a comfortable place and one
that may be used more than once.
The expense Of properly billing
the battle, advertising it in posters,
