Junior Alliance
To Be Formed
In Bridgeport
Germans Will Enlist Younger
Generation to Keep Alive
Spirit and Culture of the
Fa.herland

The German American Alliance held
meeting in Concordia hall, last night,
and took up the matter Of organizing
junior order of the National Ger
man American Alliance The object
of the organization is to help perpet-
uate German culture throughout the
United States by arousing at an early
age, in the men Of the younger Amer
lean generation an interest In the Ger
man language, literature, history and
art.
BY this means recruits will be found
for the German societies and good
feeling will be maintained between
America and Germany.
Since immigration from Germany has
practically ceased, the younger gener-
alton must be depended upon to keep
German ideals alive, and to contribute
to the upbuildfng Of the United
States.
The Alliance refrains from interior
ence in party politics. but reserves the
right to defend it's principles whenever
they are threatened by q political
measure.
It recommends the study of German
in the public schools upon the broad
ground that both languages are gen.
orally diffused wherever civilization
exists and that a knowledge of both
contributes to the formation of friend
ly relations.
The Alliance believes In a healthy
mind, in a healthy body, and will la
Dor for systematic instruction in ply
steal culture in the common schools,
anu favors many other useful and adj
vanced ideas.

New York, March 26-The first
Statewide primaries ever held in this
State were in progress today with in
terest only in the Republican contests.
That party elects directly its district
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago, the Democrat declining to
do so, but referring that action to the
State convention to be held In this
city next month.
President Taft will get the delegates
from "a districts in which there are no
contests, or 48 delegates in all, while
Roosevelt will get the two delegates
from William l. Wards district. the
18th, which is uncontested. The reg
ular organization was claiming today
every district Of the Is in which there
was contest, but this was improb
able and it seemed certain that Roose-
welt would have not less than 10 dele
gates. in addition to the Ward two.
Privately, the organization leaders
conceded eight and their figures are
considered by them to be accurate.
The organization has much the bet
ter of the engagement as the ballots
are 10 feet long and the organization
candidates are at the top Of the ticket
designated by the regular party en-
blem. To vote for contestants. the
voter must unroll the entire ballot as
;
at the bottom of the big poster.
New York, March 26-The charge that
Roosevelt followers were spending at
today's primaries in New York county
more money than had ever been used
at a primary election before, even by
Tammany Hall, was made this after
noon by Samuel Koenig. chairman Of
the New York County Republican
Committee. He alleged that, from
confidential reports in his possession,
he knew the Roosevelt forces had dis
tributed $4,000 in this county alone"
and that they were also spending
money lavishly everywhere in the
State where there were contests
Asked where the money came from,
he said:
"Why, their advertisements tell US
from. the common people,"
Koenig's statement was laughed at
by the Roosevelt leaders who said that
the 'shoe was on the other foot and
that the Taft men were the ones who
| were spending the money.

gram, today, that Champ Clark will

HUNTERS ASK CONGRESS
TO PROTECT GAME BIRDS
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TAKE
CONTROL
LIMITED SHOOTING URGED
Heavy Fines and Imprisonment Fixed
In Measure Now Before House
Committee.

washington, March 26- Sportsmen
the country over are rallying to the
support of bills perding in Congress
for the protection of migratory game
birds in the United States. Hearings
held before the House Committee on
Agriculture have drawn to Washing
ton prominent hunters and sportsmen
from most of the large cities. To a
man they have testified that unless
some Federal protection is afforded to
the migratory game birds they will
soon be wiped out From the game
commissioners of most of the States
also have come hearty Endorsements Of
the proposed legislation.
Two bills are pending. One of them,
introduced by Representative Weeks of
Massachusetts,, authorizes the Depart
ment of Agriculture to adopt regula-
tons fixing closed seasons for differ
ent parts of the country. The Weeks
bill provides. however. that these reg
ulations shall not affect or interfere
with the local laws of States and Ter
ritorfes for the protection of game
within their borders
The other bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Anthony Of Kansas, provides
flatly that it shall be unlawful for any
person to kill or capture any wild
goose, swan, pelican, crane, duck,
snipe. plover, woodcock or rail bird
from January 10 to August Is, inclu-
sive. This bill provides further that
all 7ther migratory game birds shall
hereafter be deemed to be within the
custody Of the Government Of the
United States as well as of the various
States.
The Weeks bill leaves It to the De-
partment of Agriculture to fix penal
ties for the violation of its regula-
tions. ,Ehile the Anthony hin provides
for fine OF not less than 800 and not
more than $1,000. and upon second con-
viction imprisonment for not less than
thirty days or more than six months.
Opposition to the bills is based chief
~ upon the contention that they would
infringe upon State rights.
The testimony of spOrtSmen contains
many observations on game bird life.
DR. Frank W. Hewes, chairman of
the Connecticut State Game Commits
sion, said that in the last ten years
woodcock have decreased up his way
more than half
The time was" said he, 'in the
northern part Of Connecticut, when
bags were heavy at any time in the
year. The result has been that wood
cock are almost extinct
william A Legg, chief game pro-
tector of New York State, declared
there are thousands of duck on the
States inland waters
I'VE have had to take up the feed
sag Of these ducks to keep them from
starving" he said. This is unprece-
denied in the history of the State"
He attributed this condition to the
protection New York State Is afford
sng to its migratory game birds.
