Chicago. ILL.,. Feb. 15.-After eight
days of wrang!ing over the 1915
schedule the Western League moguls
adjourned Saturday night to meet
subject to the call of the president.
The only statement OEein would
make regarding the schedule was that
he thought the playing season would
begin April %.
Saturday nights session was the
stormiest of those held during the
eight days of negotiations. Schedules
were made thick and fist. All were
imperfect to at least one member of
the league. Unwilling to agree to a
program tentatively SANCTIONED by the
other heads. A. NJ. Ebight. president

L. s. District Attorney Warns
Kansans Against Hunting.
Migratory Bird Law Will Be
Carried Out to Letter.

The migratory bird law is going to
be enforced by the federal authorities.
according to Fred Robertson, United
States district attorney. There are
today three warrants outstanding
against Kansas hunters and others
will speedily be put into preparation
if the present violation keeps on.
The federal law provides for an
open season on all water fowl. ducks.
geese and others. The season in Kan
sas, New Mexico, West Virginia and
the District of Columbia is from Sep
TENDER / until December 49,. Outside
of that stated period it is breaking the
law to shoot ducks and geese in this
state. -
Word has reached the ears Of the
district attorney that hunters are
carelessly shooting ducks and geese
on the grounds that the government
officials are not going to keep up the
law to the letter.
They are badly mistaken" said
Mr.. Robertson today, land we want to
give fair warning to the hunters SO
that they will refrain from violating
the law. Otherwise proceedings will
be brought against them in the Unit
ed States district court with the prob
ability of a fine assessed against each
one of them"
The penalty which can be inflicted
by the court for each offense is q
fine of not more than 500, or Jail
sentence Of not more tnan ninety days
or both.

Miller, 65, a wealthy FARMER Of High
lands. Kan. reported to the Bakers
field police the loss of $4,000 to three
bunko steerers whom he met at San
Diego and who placed bets for him
on alleged horse races in Mexico.
Miller gave their names as Joseph
Rogers, George Keene and George
Knight Three weeks ago at San
Diego they inveigled him into placing
a SIS bet, which he won. The next
day he took a $4,000, flyer and won
heavily, only his new found acQuaint-
ances were suspicious or his check.
Miller sent home for cash and
placed a $4,000 bet in order to recoup.
He was told $4,000 was to his credit.
but that secrecy was highly essential
so he must deposit the $4,000 in Bak-
ersfield, where the three would rejoin
him.
Two weeks ago in this city he sur
rendered his check for $4,000. receiv-
ing in return an alleged draft on a
New York bank for $4,000. He in
dorsed this, gave it to Keene to mail,
himself returning to Rialto, CAL,
where he has a daughter.
The fruitless wait for two weeks
aroused his suspicious and it was only
yesterday he came to the conclusion
he had been swindled.

at $465 The number of persons. ex-
GLIDING the king and queen and men,
beers of the royal family. who dine
at the royal table is usually three.

Quired.
