Fine Entries in the Field Trials

Fine Entries in the Field Trials
 The Amateur Field trials were not as successful or satisfactory as we had hoped for" said Percy Clark, "but the class of entries were quite up 10 who selected the Oneonta grounds were not familiar with the requirements for field trials-wide areas of open, compar- atively level ground, with rolling to- pography, rather than hills and small areas, with patches of cover in culti- vated fields, for the birds to lie in. This is necessary, that the very important detail of range and speed, and ground work of the dogs searching 'birdy' places-may be critically noted by the judges. A high class dog will often make a cast so far away, that he is just visible to the trained eye; he may swing his course away to the right or the left, for a great distance, if he remains under the eyes of the Judges, otherwise his handler is directed to bring him back on the course
 Tho entries at Oneonta numbered In the lists some very classy dogs, both in the Derby-for two years and younger dogs-and the all-age, and the subscription stakes. My entry. Doe a pointer just past the Derby age, is a dog of wonderful speed and wide range, and has shown in a few weeks train- ing, bird sense and all the work of a field trial star, including steady to shot and wing. He had no more of field of show for his work at Oneonta than the Pirates of Penzance' would have on the stage of a 5-cent playhouse.
 "In Sunday mornings Age-Herald Won Gull facetiously overdraws what was dubbed by the judges my efforts to initiate General Wheeler in a cavalry charge. when I was pushing my dog to stop-speed under trying conditions and incidentally and parenthetically being emphatic about obstructions. Let him explain why he donned a suit of be- coming corduroy hunters green, sans hunting boots, but with polished shoes and failed to follow the dogs at all in the saddle-never went near the water or the mud either-but he rather en- tered a duck blind, but failed to put out decoys!"

Prevails.

Washington. Feb. 6 - BY unanimous
vote the Senate elections committee to-
day recommended investigation of
senatorial campaigns in PENNSYLVANIA
and Illinois n in any other states,
where charges of corruption have been
made.
The original resolution by Senator
Norris. progressive republican from
Nebraska proposing inquiry into the
campaigns where Senator Penrose was
reelected from Pennsylvania and
Roger Sullivan was defeated by Sem
ator Sherman. republican in Illinois.
was adopted, but at the insistence OF
republicans on the committee, it was
amended to authorize similar investi-
CATION into any such charges from
other states. Chairman Kern said
the committees recommendations
would be at once put before the Senate.
senator Sutherland. republican. Of
fercd an amendment specifically nam
ing Alabama. Indiana. California and
South Dakota. but 1t was rejected and
the amendment was made to nroyide
for inquiry into campaign eXpendi-
lures i'm amy other states, which evil
dcncc brought before the committee
may justify"

ton the inquiry probably would be con-
Quoted during n recess of congress.
The order may include South Da-

been made In n general way. but
whether there Is evidence to back them
up Is another question.

BLOCKADE OF ENGLAND
RAISES NEW QUESTIONS

Washington, Feb. 6. - Germany's
declaration of a naval war zone around
Great Britain and Ireland including the
English channel and the northern psss-
g OF the Shetland islands is regarded
here as one of the most serious Develop
ments of the war. II was regarded ns
highly possible for one thing. that 1t
would hasten he movement begun by
the Latin american countries for n
speedy conference of neutral states to
devise means to reduce losses to neutral
commerce to a minimum.
At first there were some intima.iens
in administration circles that 1t might
be the subject Of n protest by the UNI
ted States. but the official view de-
velOped that there was little or no
ground for that M II was recalled
that no protest was made when the
North sea was strewn with mines.

plan to construct lakes to the gulf
deep waterway that will make Gin
cinnati an "inland seaport" and en-
able Great Lakes vessles to cruise to
New Orleans and the Pacific via
Panama canal
Deepening the Miami canal
from Lake Erie to the Ohio river is
the project. This, it is pointed out
by the hackers, will also afford flood
drainage protection for those Sec
tions of Ohio endangered annually by
spring floods and serve the double pur-
pose Of providing an all water outlet
southwark for the vast commercial
products Of the Central West. The
ship canal project will be put before
the Ohio legislature as a substitute
now pending before that body.
State and eventually national
funds, will be asked to make the in
land waterway possible within the
next three years. Advocates of the
plan say it will prove an economical
solution of Ohio's flood situation and
at the same time throw to Great Lakes
ports the Panama canal business that
Pittsburg and other cities are seek
ing. Estimates for adequate flood
protection are in excess of the neces-
sary for the ship canal, it is claimed.
Twice during the past fifteen years
the project has been surveyed by en-
gineers and found practicable.

until the last few days when the can
didates became more active than at
any time during the entire cam
paign. Also the activity of the So
cialists, who have a complete ticket
in the field, has aroused friends Of
the other candidates and much work
in their behalf has been accomplish
ed, the chief cry being to defeat the
socialists, and this result has every
indication of attainment. Last year
not a single socialist was elected to
office, and the same result is expected
at the polls tomorrow. n
McCuaig Appears Winner.
| That Mayor McCuaig> will be re-
named is conceded by many. He has
served as head of the administration
for two years and at all times has
endeavored to act in way best for
the interests of the city. Judge HI
ram A. Simons, one of his opponents,
has conducted no active campaign,
having entered the race at the re-
quest of friends, and it is expected
that he will receive about the same
vote to be accorded Kaplan, who
is the socialist nominee d
Lycan is Deserving. 4
For alderman-at-large, Frank s.
Lycan should be elected by substan-
tial majority. A successful business
man, possessing every qualification
for the office, progressive and being
of exceptional executive ability, he
would be an honor to the city as
presi dent of the council Mr.. Lycan
should receive the careful considera-
tion of every voter in marking his
preference for alderman-at-large.
Active Opposition.
The socialist campaign against
Mr.. Lycan has been active, as has it
been against Thomas Lloyd, who is
a candidate for reelection as asses
sor. Mr.. Lloyd has made most ca
pable official, understands the work
of the office perfectly and is deserv-:
ing of a large majority. !:
For city clerk and city treasurer
the present incumbents are candi-
dates for reelection and their sue!
cess at the polls is practically as
sured. George Stein, city clerk, and
George Rhea, treasurer, are extreme
ly we'll fitted for the offices to which
they desire election and their records
are strong enough endorsements to
secure for them the vote of every
citizen.
Fight for Alderman.
In only one ward is there doubt
as to who will be named alderman,
this being in the fourth, where three
candidates have fled The fight ap-
pears to be between Thomas S. Erwin
and Carl L. Heffron, Abe Grossman,
the socialist candidate, not being ex-
pected to gather many votes.
Three to Return.
Three aldermen, John Moberg in
the first ward, Sherm Bailey in the
second ward, and J. M. Phillippi in
