DESTROYER O'BR|EN
HAS GREAT RECORD

NORFOLK. Va. Sept. 12.-Fresh from
sea maneuvers. where she made re-
markable record at target practice, the
torpedo boat destroyer O'Brien is pre-
pairing to sail for Gardincrs bay. where
she will engage in further maneuvers
with other vessel of her class
The O'Brien and twenty-five addi-
tlonal destroyers spent five days of the
week at target practice with battleships
of the Atlantic fleet off the Virginia
capes. The NBrien hung up score
greater than that held by the winners
Of previous trophies for similar prac-
tice. The vessel is said to have
achieved an almost perfect score in tor
pedo firing. and also made the highest
per cent for night firing.
One of Newest Boats.
The O'Brien has only been in service
three months. She is one of the newest
OF the l.000-ton destroyers. Her crew
were considered raw because they had
hardly become accust omed to her guns
and torpedo tubes For this reason her
record is conside reds all the more re-
markahle

In the old days of frenzied finance
when many bankers were about as:

for banking and trust companies to

service corporations. They would
take the bonds at a discount, with a
liberal stock bonus The next step
was to unload the bonds on widows
and orphans, when the fond father
had died without previously training

could take care of what he left her

HUNTING SEASON [

OFFICIALS OF THE STATE ARE
PLEASED WITH THE NEW
oNE-DEER LAW.
DEATHS HAVE BEEN REDUCED
Legal Shipping Of Deer Will Be About
20 Per Cent OF the Last Years
I Record, According to
Reports.

Lansing.-With one-Lalf OF the regu'
lar open deer hunting season ended,
state officials are more than pleased
with the workings Of the one-deer law
passed by the 1915 legislature.
Based on reports received so far.
the legal shipping of deer will be
about 40 per cent Of last years rec
ord. This same 40 per cent applies
also to the number Of hunters.
Game Warden Oates and his as
sistants are so far exultant over the
new law. They think the small num-
Der Of deer killed will help to pass a
buck law, which the department was
after in the last legislature. but failed
to get.
Violations Of the law are as nu-
merous as ever. chiefly in the Sec
tions which class the alien as a nom
resident. Several convictions on this
charge have been secured. as well as
several for selling deer. The upper
peninsula Is full OF deputy wardens.
most Of these in the southern por-
ton of the state having been trans
ferred there temporarily.
Accidents have been reduced to
minimum. Two deaths-one of
these from heart failure and the
other where the hunter accidentally
killed himself-have been reported.
One man was struck in the hip by a
stray bullet.

Much Depends on Test Of Law.


On the first Monday OF next April
Michigan will have its first experience
with presidential preference primary.
and the selection of their presidential
candidates by the political parties OF
the state will lift the otherwise bleak
and bare April elections to the plane
Of national importance.
The presidential preference primary
was designed to 60 into effect at 1912.
but the legislature, at the special SEES
sion Of that year played joke on 1t.
self by providing for an election that
could not be held, and consequently
the statute is not effective until 1916.
While thus far there ia little interests
in the primary on the surface. the fact
that enough states now have the pri.
mary seriously to affect convention re-
suits has caused much thought on the
part Of especially the Republican ma
tional leaders.
Because of the fact that the dele.
gates to the national convention from
all primary states will be bound. for
