Washington, Aug. S-Speaking from the standpoint of those on the Pacific coast, Senator Works, of California, yesterday afternoon declared that there could be no other interpretation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty than that the United States could grant free passage through the Panama Canal to it's own vessels.
 Works opposed the plan to charge American vessels, and then have the government return this money to shir owners, declaring this was tantamount to relating g-and relating is some thing that is not popular in this country now, he added. The Sena- tor declared that good faith had not been shown in the alleged protest by the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce against trans oceanic railroad owned vessels being forbidden use o1 the canal. The 800 telegrams form ing the protest, he said, did not rep resent the views of the chamber and many were unauthorized.

Rourke's office, 1925 Main St.
 MT. Rourke was a member Of the Board of Charities when the Elmer gency automobile ambulance was pur- chased. In fact, he was one of the special committee of the board who purchased the vehicle, and he drove it on it's first official trip about the city. Through his connection with the Charities Department he became convinced that the city needed still another vehicle of this sort, one ca- than public service, and now at an eX- pense of $5,000 he has secured just the sort of car that he believes will meet with general approval.
 The ambulance is mounted upon q Locomobile Type L chassis. Besides the regulation head and tail lights it carries a pair of red lights which is in conformance with New York ambulance regulations.

BEGINNINGS OF GAME LAWS
First Legislation in This Country to
Protect Deer Was Passed
In 1869. a

Game legislation in this country
has had an interesting history. Deer
were the first game animals to be
protected. AS early as 1869 law was
passed in South Carolina forbidding
their destruction during the months
from January to July, while Vermont
prescribed the same closed season for
deer in 1897
Massachusetts in 1917 protected
deer during similar season, follow
ed by Virginia in 1920. Little other
legislation, except in New Jersey in
1916, is found until after 1850, when
Missouri, Ohio, Alabama and Cali
fornia prescribed closed seasons, and
Delaware in 1852 prohibited the kill
ing of deer at any time.
In the ZOOS came Kentucky with
protection for females only, and later
Illinois, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ne
braska and Minnesota followed, the
last state including elk in its pro-
tective measures.
The earliest instance which has
been found in the United States of an
| enactment to protect fur-bearing ami
mails is that prescribing the closed
season for the muskrat, in Vermont
in 1872. 1t was a prohibition which
covered practically the entire year, it
being lawful to take the muskrat
from March Is to May 25.
Ohio protected the muskrat in 1880,
and New Hampshire in 1843, prompt
ed evidently by a desire to be rid Of
certain undesirable animals, passed a
law providing for the destruction Of
noxious animals and the preservation
of game" the game referred to being
the muskrat, beaver, mink and otter.
| During the '7Os and sos a number
Of states incorporated into their stat
utes sections forbidding the use of
any gun other than such as is com
monty raised from the shoulder
fired at arms length, such legis'atl,
having become necessary because OF
the use by pot hunters and even So
called sportsmen of the swivel gun in
shooting wild fowl-Case and Com
