PRAISE FOR DYCHE
Washington Correspondent
Tells of His Work.
Naturalist of RenOWn and Kan
sas Should Be Proud of Him.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 5.-Recent
newspaper reports Indicating that Prof
L. l.. Dyche, state game and fish war
den for Kansas, may be succeeded by
an appointee of Gov. Hodges, has
aroused more than special interest
among the Kansas colony in Washing
ton
Those named as candidates seeking
the office are Dell Travis, of Pratt
and William P. Wheatley, of Horton.
Travis, a Republican, was game war
den previous to Prof Dyche's appoint
ment. Wheatley is a Democrat, Dyche
is not a politician, never having been
affiliated with any party. He is purely
naturalist, and ore of world re-
nown.
Kansans in Washington, regardless
of party affiliation, are strong for the
retention of Dyche. They argue that
his position in the world of science
should be recognized by his home state
in continuing his .ervices in his pres
ent capacity IS long as it may be his
wish.
Prof Dyche has record which every
Kansan should we'll feel proud. He has
spent his life in the study of animals
and birds, and it was through many
years of hard and hazardous work
that he travelled to the far north and
obtained the largest and most valuable
collection of fur-bearing animals now
exhibited in America This collection
now graces the museum of the Kansas
State University at Lawrence.
Prof. Dyche obtained world fame
when he went on several expeditions in
search of the North Pole with Lieut..
Peary and DR.. Cook. 1t was Prof.
Dyche. who furnished the charts and
other information which made it pos
sible for DR.. Cook to reach the summit
of Mount Mckinley. Dyche had made
several trips more than half way up
the mountain in search for bear, noun
tain goats and other large animals.
Dyche, after his many years of
travel, was made one of the regents
of the Lawrence university. When
Stubbs became governor he appointed
Dyche state game and fish warden
In this latter position Dyche again put
Kansas on the map in a most promi-
nent fashion. He went before the
Kansas legislature and obtained an

PROTECT QUAIL AND CHICKENS

A complete revision of the game laws
of Kansas will be the result of the
report of the fish and game commit
tees of the senate and house which Will
be sent back to the senate some day
this week. The committees of both
branches of the legislature have been
working ever since the early days or
the session on the proposed protection
to the fish and game of the state.
Many radical measures have been ta-
ken-the most important of which is
the power that has been taken away
from the fish department and the IN
creased appropriations that have been
planned for the protection and pro-
pagation of game.
Under the present laws all the
money collected from hunting licenses
has been turned over to the fish de-
partment under L. L. Dyche, warden
at Pratt. A big hatchery and a
change for the better in the fish re-
sources of Kansas has been the re-
suit The new committee, however, has
go to the raising and protection of
game as well as fish. This means
that the hatchery appropriation will be
cut materially.
Another important feature of the pro-
posed new law is the absolute protec-
tlOn OF Qud1l anu prairie CIllChSIlo.

sands of hunters from all parts of
the state. The new law states that
at no time during the year shall a
person be allowed to shoot quail and
prairie chicken. The committee chair
man. Senator Davis, of Bourbon cOun-
ty. states that this provision is for the
purpose of increasing the flocks in the
state in the next two years The legis-
lature two years from now may ere
ate an open season again.
After two years of legal protection
the turtle doves this season will come
back into the range of the huntsmen's
guns From August 1 to October 1
the doves are in danger for the next
lures the doves have been allowed to
raise their families in peace. Now
they will be construed as game
The new law allows a hunter to
bring home 20 wild ducks at one days
shooting. The present law says II.
Ducks may be shot over live decoys,
while sitting on the water and at any
time of the day or night. The present
law says they may be shot only be-
tween sunrise and sunset

is abolished under the proposed
amendments to the fish and game laws.
Under the new law only eight deputies
are appointed and they receive a salary
of $1,000 a year. Now anyone can be

The new law will go into effect after
its passage and publication in the Of
fetal state paper, the State Journal,
and will start huntsmen out on a new

appropriation to build the largest fish
hatchery in the world. This hatchery,
which is now practically completed, is
looked upon as being one of the won
ders in the culture of fish by the ma
tional government officials. The Kan
sas hatchery is comprised of 100 sepa-
rate fish ponds covering an acre each.
This stupendous project covers a ter
ritory of one section long Gone mile)
and a quarter section wide. Its cost
when completed will be S150,000.
There is nothing like it in the world.
Furthermore, Professor Dyche is
distributing grown up" fish to the
farmers of Kansas, something un-
known of even to the government bu-
reau of fisheries. The government
only furnishes a stock brood of the
minnow size, while the fish furnished
by the Kansas warden are two years
old, or SpawnerS.
Scientists here in washington freely
admit that Dyche knows more about
fisheries and game than any other
man in the United States. At one
time last year he was talked of as a
successor to George Bowers, United
frowned on this boom. He declared
his allegiance to Kansas by saying
that he cared nothing about a federal
job, but wanted to spend the balance
of his days in his home state working
out his life studies.
While in Washington last summer
Professor Dyche was called before a
senate committee, at the instance of
the government of fisheries, and gave
the most valuable information con-
corning the sealing question.

LAWRENCE DEBT
Legislature Will Try to Make
City Pay3State.
1t Is Old 100000 Claim for the
University.

The hundred thousand dollar debt
owed by the city of Lawrence, like
Banquo's ghost, has appeared again.
Taylor Riddle, representative from
Marion appears this time as the cham
pion of the state school fund, and has
made formal request upon the attorney
general to draw a bill to reimpose that
debt upon the city of Lawrence.
This debt was incurred about the
year 1870 when the city of Lawrence
voted and issued bonds in the sum of
100000 to aid the state in building the
big school at Mount Dread. The bonds
were sold to the permanent school
fund and the interest thereon was paid
for ten or twelve years. In 1888 the
friends of Lawrence put a bill through
the legislature under the title of IAN
act for the relief of the city Of Law
renee and for the protection of the
school fund.- and since that day the
city of Lawrence has never paid a
penny.
Attorney General Louie Boyle away
back in the days of Governor John
Winkelreid Leedy brought suit to re-
cover on the bonds. Each bond and
action, and the combined petition had
to be carried into court in a wheelbar-
row. Despite it's respectable bulk and
'heft' the petition disappeared and it's
whereabouts no longer known among
men, but ten years later it showed up
in the district court of Johnson county.
Eventually Attorney General Coleman
in compliance with a resolution of the
legislature pushed the case to final
judgment and the supreme court held
that the act of 1888 was an .unquali-
fled forgiveness of the big debt in
spite of the constitution which says
the school fund shall never be dimin-
ished. Now comes Taylor Riddle, who
takes the position that if the legisla-
ture of 1888 can forgive a debt without
considera ton, the first Kansas Demo-
cratic legislature on earth can reim-
pose that debt, and, -la-Stubbs, he
has directed the attorney general to
prepare the bill
