NO ILLEGALLY KILLED GAME
BY PARCEL POST.
Department Order Hailed With De-
light by Game Protective Associa-
ton.

The American Game Protective as
sociation has just received from the
postoffice department at Washington a
telegram stating that an order has
been issued which will effectively put a
stop to the Illegal use of the parcel
post in the shipment of game.
The telegram in question reads as
follows:
The postoff1ce department has is
sued an order prohibiting acceptance
for mailing of game killed or offered
for shipment in violation of the laws
of any state, territory or district in
which it was killed or rendered for
shipment The order permits accept
ance for purposes of mailing of game
lawfully killed and offered for ship
ment, but fresh game may not be mail
ed beyond the second zone"
The telegram comes from Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Dockery.
In a statement by President John B.
Burnham of the American Game Pro-
tective association, he said: This mat
ter means a great deal for game con-
servation in this country
Ever since the parcel post hac been
in operation it has furnished an ideal
means for the shipment of Illegal game
and added to the worries of the game
commissions of the various states ano
the officials of the biological survey OF
the federal government
'"rhe express companies, which handle
most of the game shipped in interstate
commerce, have very generally lived
up to the law, and where they have
been imposed upon they have always
been ready to aid officials In convict
ing shippers of Illegal game When
however, the parcel post invaded the
express companies field, the old meth
DDS of preventing the shipment of ile-
gal game were no longer effective Just
as soon as the pot hunter had deliver
ed his cartridges or wild ducks into
Uncle SANS keeping, he was safe from
punishment for any Illegal act connect
ed with the shipment, for the simple
reason that TO game official had g
right to examine the package and the
postal authorities themselves would
not do it."

FIRE PREVENTION BY INSPECTION
Norwich In The Lead In Movement That Is Now Widely
Urged-Chief Stanton Has Been Carrying Out Inspec-
ton Plan Fer Several Years-Norwich Fire Loss Last
Year About $4,000

At the present time the subject of
inspection of building by firemen as a
metrod tending toward fire proven
ton Is one that is being quite widely
larger cities, but the suggestion is
nothing new fer Norwich as this very
thing has been done by. the Nor
wieh department fer several years now
Headquarters by Chief Howard l..
Stanton. which covers all the business
sections Of the city and gives such in
formation as is necessary in regard to
all business property. Whatever
building a fire may be in, there is al
ways some one among the ffremen who
responds whe has made personal in
spectien of the building and is ia
miliar with the property. The ideal
condition that Chief Stanton would like
to see would be to have it so that
every man in the department could
make a personal inspection of every
building in the business districts, but
this is impossible with the number of
men, on the force as too much time
would be taken away from the sta
tiens to send them out in this way.
Chief Stanton has been following up
this matter of fire prevention probably
closer than any chief engineer. and up
to two years ago was the only chief
engineer in the country belonging to
the Fire Prevention association.
As an illustration of what informa
ton is obtained through inspection, the
fire department card on the Kronig
building is given here as follows:
Inspection of Building No. 121 Main St.
Owner, Samuel Kronig.
Occupant, Samuel Kronig.
Purpose, store.
Heat, steam.
Entrances, two.
Kind of roof, metal and composition.
Elevators, none.

Extinguishers, none.

Watchman, none.
Glass of building, brick.
Light, electric.
Entrances to cellar, two.

I Inspected Friday. Feb. "a, 1911, by

Hose, none.
Inspected Friday, Feb "a, 1911, by
HI. r. Taft.
on the back of the card these lines
are filled out: Main cut of, electricity,
in southwest corner of cellar. Main
cut off, gas, northwest corner of cell
lar. Main cut off, water, southeast
corner of cellar. Hydrants within SOC
feet, six
There is also a space for remarks on
which it is noted: Entrance to cellar
from Main street. Entrance along
west wall under stairway leading up
to second floor and can also enter
cellar through hatehway in sidewalk
at the southeast corner of building
facing Little Water street. Access to
roof is on second floor towards rear
of building near railing of second well.
The ladder used in reaching the roof
is kept under a counter running along
the east wall towards Little Water
street.
Reinspecticns are made at times
when for any particular reason there is
a likelihood that conditions may have
changed and sometimes a new man is
sent to see If he notices anything that
may have escaped the eye of the one
who formerly inspected the building.
But even the big cities find that they
are handicapped in inspection work by
the scarcity of men who can be used
for this. The inspection card used
here gives details that in most cases
are more complete than those secured
in larger cities.
Besides the regular inspection for
report, there is a constant supervision
of buildings exercised, either by the
chief or men of the department, who
have knowledge of places which they
ought to keep their eye on, and one of
the things they try to guard against
most is accommodations of rubbish. BY
getting owners to put their rubbish
outside of the building it is assured
that other departments of the city Will
see that it is cleaned up there.
I the past year Norwich har a total
of 1876 fire calls and the total loss
was about 1884, In that large num-
Der of calls, Chief Stanton considers
that some of our good luck In having
small losses was due to inspection.
The only large fires of the year were
those in the Austin building a nd
those in the Kroniz store, and the
combined loss on these was about S25,-
000 The loss for the year, insured and
uninsured, was $50, 17.s4 on build
ings and $32.95S.17 on contents

Norwich, who a year ago was APP
pointed receiver of the Thames Loan

Judge Williams of the superior court,

TO the receivership to the supreme

evidently did not care to pass IH0
various questions. The supreme court
sits at Hartford next week.
After reviewing at considerable
length the history of the case, Mr..
Thayer presents a long line of ques-
tons, many of them of a technical ma
ture He asks the court if the insti-
tuition bears the same relations to all
its depositors, unfortunately ;
whether depositers in the savings de-
partment are preferred over depositors
in the commercial department; wheth-
er or not the assets are limited to any
one department, and number of other
