KILL DEER WITHOUT
 REGARD TO LAW.
Fish and Game Commissioner Tell of
 PitifuI Situation in the State.

Supt. John M. Crampton of the Fish and Game commission Is more than a little grieved at the manner in which the deer-klling law of 1915 is working out, although he foresaw how it would operate. If the condi- tions as set forth in reports by the various agents of the commission are anywhere near correct, the act has re- suited in more cruelty to wild anil mals than any other enactment ever put out by Connecticut legislature.
 The law, 1t will be remembered, per- mits the owner of any real estate, any member of his family or the lessee of any leased land for agricultural pur- poses to kill any deer found on his property, providing. however. that only a shotgun shall be used: The deer so killed is the property of the owner of the land on which 1t was slaughtered and the person doing the killing is re- quired to report the fact to the com mission within 24 hours thereafter. So much for the law, which became effective on August 1. 1915.
 Up to the first of this week. Suptl Champion has been notified that 1,S11 deer have been killed by persons who had shot them according to the pro- vision of the law. and he says that probably not more than a third of the iluiAAhEE dNAhethg Aao bCNA AN- ported.
 While the agents of the commission have done their utmost, the deer are being killed without the slightest re- gard for the wording of the law. II provides for instance that deer shall | be killed only with a shotgun and shall not be snared. yet only last wees Game Warden E. l.. Rease came neal | being caught in a deer snare as thu
 wire of which it was made struck hi: | face. During the present winter | while talking with a man whom he wal | prosecuting for the violation of another game law, the offender who come! from Rhode Island told him that h, was hunting deer and was using | rifle carrying a 45-70 cartridge. | Game wardens in all parts of thu | state continue to report the discover
 of lame deer. wounded deer. deer limp | ing and starving on three legs. sho f undoubtedly by good law-abiding folk | upon their own land and with a shot | gun in accordance with the provision | of the eminently humane law of 1915 | An instance of the way the law work | commissioner. IL occurred in one O
 the shore towns a few days ago. wheI ! several dogs got on the track or ;
 wounded deer. They drove the ex ! hausted animal into a fence corner
 where they attacked it and when mel
 hearing the barking of the dogs wen
 to the place they found that the deer
 which was still alive. was unable t escape from its tormentors. They hu | manly killed the deer. not the dogs 1 which were licensed and presumed t l be of value.
 The law requires that the deer hunt 1 CT shall use a shotgun. but the law powerless to provide that the hunte | shall be a good shot. hence this cpl

LOBSTER PRICES HAVE
 BROKEN RECORDS.
Sixty five Cents Pound Now, and
 Crustaceans Are Scarce.

All along the Atlantic coast Holsters are selling for prices never before reached. In Portland, Me, dealers are paying the fishermen 65 cents a pound out of the boats, and they in turn are selling to their customers for 75 cents live weight. AS may be imagined, the demand for the crustaceans is very light.
 The larger of the lobster ports re- port a fairly good outside sale, how ever, as the large hotels in New York will take all that can be caught. All along the coast the fishermen report that thousands of their traps have been carried away by the violent gales during the winter and that the Holsters never have been as scarce as now. The meagre receipts of the past few weeks seem to bear out this statement.
 At the last quotations received in this section Holsters were selling for 50 and 70 cents pound, and were de- cidedly hard to get at that price. There has been no let up in the past seven weeks in the high prices of all sea food, and judging by the weekly quota tions received here no relief is in sight.
