Committee designated to investigate

lift, did nothing for his workers.
Referring to the testimony of Mr.
Rockefeller. the committee says:
s.Absentee owners or directors by
their absence from the scene Of such
disturbances cannot escape their
moral responsi biIity for conditions in
and about properties in which they
are Interested
The committee declares that the
younger Rockefeller did nothing to
improve the condition of the en-
ployes Of the Colorado Fuel & Iron
Company, lin which he is stakeholder
and director.
ssRfr Rockefeller is long distance
director, not having attended a meet
ing of the stockholders or directors
of the company in ten years It seems
to have been his practice to select
such men as he thought best for him,
and then look only to them for the
imanagementZ without any personal
knowledge of the conditio ns.
s.Mr. Rockefeller was not good
Judge of conditions in Colorado and
knew nothing about them. He was
not willing to submit to fair board
Of arbiters to settle this strike. He
was obstinate, and the statement that
he was fighting for liberty for the
workingman will not bear investiga-

Hartford. March 4-The following
meteorological, data as to the month
just closed is furnished by Local
Foreeaster w. w. Neifert:
Some of the weather conditions
| that have prevailed During F'ebru-
airy were characteristic of the winter
season, while others were >consider-
ably less SO. There was more pre-
cipitation during the month than in
any. February since 1910, and most of
1T came in the form Of rain. The
m onth opened in tears, and the poll
teal outcast, Mr.. Groundhog, failed
to discover his shadow. The month
also gave US considerable more heat
than allowed US by the 33-year nor
NAL There was an absence of zero
lninimas while the highest tempera-
ture, so degrees, exceeds all previous
February readings at this station. At
no. time during the winter was there
experienced more pleasant wealth er
than during the third week of the
month. The bright sunshine together
with the arriving robins. and the
northward flight of wild geese, Ger
tainly suggested spring. The heavy
rain of the 24-25th preceded by un-
usually high temperature, caused a
rapid melting of. the snow covering
the upper Connecticut watershed,
and resulted In q. freshet of moder-
ate proportions, though without any
material damage in this locality. The
crest, 20.6 feet, was registered at the
Hartford Bridge at p. m. on the
27th since which time it has been
gradually receding.
The month took cool and windy
departure, indicative of the month to
follow. The snowfall was deficient,
the total being only 8 inches. There
was a. covering of 3.5 inches on the
ground when the month opened. but
it had all disappeared by the 18th,
There were 9 clear days; 5 partly
claudy; and IA cloudy days. Solar
haIos were observed on the 18th and
the 22nd. The atmospheric pressure
data presents nothing abnormal; the
values are, monthly mean, 30.11
Inches; highest, SO.5S inches, on the
18th; lowest, 29.31 inches, on the
18th.
The prevailing direction of the
wind was northwest, and the total
movement. 5,O97 miles. This amount
is rather conservative, being about
$50 miles below the February aver
age. The maximum velocity, twenty
six miles per hour, from the south,
occurred at 1928 a. m. on the 9Th,
and is an unusually low velocity for
the month of it's name. The total
precipitation, 4.3O inches is rs above
the normal, and is a marked contrast
to a record of 2.79 inches during the
month in 1914. This excess, added
to that of its wet predecessor, makes
a total excess OF 1852 inches for the
year. The greatest fall during any
storm was 1.61 inches on the 24-25th

GAME pEsTRUCrIoN

There are 5,eOO,e hunters IN the
United States. This rather astonis31-
ing statement was made the past
week to the national conference on
American game breeding and presery
ing held in New York. 1t is no Won
der that game is extinct in SO large
a part of this country.
It has sometimes been thought that
strict game laws are not democratic.
Every farmers boy cherishes the
privilege of getting out with his gun.
A hunters license law, with a, small
fee, looks aristocratfc to the farmer,
creating a privileged class. But the
result of free game shooting appears
at the present time. Most men, to get
a good bag, have to travel many
miles and run up an expense bill of
railroad fares and hotel charges. That
is not democratic conditions Of
things.
This country was originally rich
with all kinds Of wild game. Every.
variety had its value. Most of them
added each an element of beauty,
color and life to the woods. The
majority were useful as food for the
human race. Then comes man.
blazing away regardless of times and
seasons. Today many of our finest
varieties are extinct or practically
SO. Man isSa spendthrift. and a. was
trel. who po11utes his rivers, burns up
his forests, and destroys the wild life
that might serve and cheer him
When game was abundant hunters
were satisfied to get out after the
real ver1nin of the woods, the varie-
ties that are, destructive. But if
foxes and raccoons are exterminated
in a given section today, the more
ignorant hunters at least will get out
after song birds that protect the
farmers crops from insects s
The delegates who gathered to the
conference above referred to should
do something more than pass resolu-
tIons.s They should appoint them4
selvesNa national committee to work
in every state for strict game laws,
strict enforcement of them. and for
the propagation of many OF the fine
species of wild life that have been
wiped out.

INDIANS NOT NEARLY SO
BAD AS PAINTED SAYS
MINISTER MISSIONARY

Washington, March 4-Howard NJ.
Patterson, Presbyterian minister
among the Indians in Bluff, Utah, has
written Secretary Lane that the red
men in his section .are not nearly so
bad as they are painted, and I wish
to see them get fair play from the
government. Secretary Lane gave
out the letter in connection with the
recent Indian disturbances in Utah.
Mr.. Patterson charged that cattle
frequently had been killed and stolen
by white men who wore moccasins
to throw blame on the Indians.
The minister said he wrote at the
request of Mancos Jim. a poor but
good chief, who complained that a
rich cattle owner had permitted stock
to be driven upon his allotment
When the chief asked PREPARATION or
that the cattle be kept off his land,
Mr.. Patterson said, the stockman only
laughed.
