present, in addition to the wardens, a
surprisingly large number of sportsmen,
who took an active interest in the dis
cussion of the new game laws. A few
changes in these laws were criticized bv
some as affecting their own particu-
lar locality, but on the whole the code
won hearty approval and were evidently
well understood. The evening was Civ
en- up to an executive session of the
game wardens, who elected their own
presiding officer and went to work TO
redistribute the territories into zones so
that the work might be accomplished
with more efficiency
Synopses of the new laws, printed
on posters, which will be circulated
through the state. were passed around
and Mr. Titcomb asked for criticisms.
1t was decided to place on the poster
the increased fine for catching small
trout. The fine was formerly anything
a Justice wished to make it and this
policy resulted in almost no penalty be-
ing inflicted, for everyone felt sorry for
a person in his own locality who was
caught with the goods. The usual fine
was dollar and this was considered
a small sum to pay for the sport. The
new law provides that person caught
with fish under the legal length shall
be fined $40, with an additional s. fsr
each fish

Have Not Settled Sovereignty
Over the Island.

Enter San Francisco.

Portland, Ore, Jan "a combina.
ton of interests to provide an en-.
trance for the Hill lines into San Fran
cisco and for the Gould road into
Portland is an early probability. In
furtherance of the project, it is said,
Joseph H. Young, president of the
local Hill lines, is now in California.
Acquisition of the Nevada, Califor-
MIA and Oregon road, now operating
between Reno, New, and Lakeview,
Ore. is one detail of the plan.
1t is reported that the Hill interests
have arranged with the Western Pa
cifc to take over the line under joint
ownership and connect it with the
OREGON Trunk, now operating to, Bend,
in Central Oregon.
This connection would link Portland
and San Francisco and would allow
the Western Pacific to run its trains
into Portland and will give the Hill
lines their much sought entrance into
San Francisco.

In the streets bands played in cer-
tain sort of disorder, for all remon-
stration was removed and roWdyism
reached height not seen since 1876.
Into all kinds of resorts, from the red
light district to the fashionable cafes,
quietly went 500 investigators, men
and women, employed by reform or
plantations. Unostentatiously they
crammed notebooks full with evidence.
This data will be compiled and act
ed upon by the committee CT the or
ganization. If enough evidence is OBJ
tanned they say legal proceedings will
be begun to have municipal officials

Washington, Jan. 2.-Oficials OF the

for serious contest over the disputed

Leavenworth = Former Comrades
Object to Him as CelImate.
Fort Leavenworth, Jan. 2.-After a
dreary twenty-hour ride from Indian
apolis the thirty-three union officials
convicted in the dynamite conspiracy
case arrived at the federal prison
here in their special travelling Jail and
began serving their sentences.
Beginning with President Frank N.
Ryan of the ironworkers the men were
received by the warden, signed the
prisoners book, were bathed, their
heads shaved and their bodies clad
in the dark gray prison garb. They
were lined up in the warden's office
and given numbers.
An all night vigil was kept by the
guards on the special. The prisoners
dozed, gossiped, smoked or ate all
night. The cars were stuffy and bad
ly ventilated and all doors, windows
and blinds were locked up tight all
the time.
AS Marshal Schmidt passed back
and forth through the train he was
quietly accosted by each defendant
with whispered request that he ask
the warden of the prison not to make
Herbert S. Hockin his cellmate. The
other thirty-two prisoners here ostra-
cized Hockin, ignoring him complete
ly. He is looked upon as traitor.
The spirits of the thirty-three men
were fitfully gay and glum.
Ryan Solemn Figure.
The most somber figure on the
train was Frank M. Ryan, the only
seven-year man, who sat in bowed
silence most of the time.
Olaf Tveitmoe, Pacific coast leader,
who began serving his six-year SEN
tence, took things easily Tveitmoe
asked particularly about the prison
library.
Frank J.. Higgins of Boston, one Of
the prisoners, was overcome by the
foul air and wearis0me trip. He was
attended by the physician provided
for the trip by the marshal.
After the thirty-three men were
turned from private citizens to full
hedged prisoners at the penitentiary
they started in to learn the book Of
rules outlining the military discipline
thew will follow. Each man received
4 copy of the book.
Marshal Schmidt maintained abso-
lutte secrecy on the train. No one
was permitted to get on or of during
the trip. Some of the prisoners car
ried their joking up to and even in
side the prison walls. Smythe of Pc
oria said he was going to demand his
nitroglycerin cans of the district at.
torney when he gets out of prison, so
that he can put them on the mantel
at his Peoria home. .'
