Game In Mexico.

Mexico cannot be said to offer field
for hunters of big game, and the term,
"a sportsman's paradise" which Is
sometimes applied to It, is an exaggera-
ton. Among animals may be enumer-
ated the pecaries or iavelines. deer,
rabbits, hares. The reptiles include
alligators, turtles and iguanas Whales,
seals and sea lions are encountered on
the Pacific coast-New York Tele-

facturers. and former president of tho Ma
tional Hosiery Manufacturers Association,

walk near the bottom OF the tower. lie
had a fractured skull.
Mr. Simons was in the habit Of going to
his factory at nights, and the watchman,

manufacturer appeared at the place short
ly after 5 O'Clock last night. Smonss hat
and coat were found on the fourth floor,
where he had removed them before getting

ing for the woman, who vanished after
learning the serious nature of the chld's

The lad told Detective Callahan that his
stepmother never showed any love for him,
and that yesterday she ordered him to go
to n bakery store and purchase pie. The
boy returned with the pie and asked for
n piece, but was refused by Mrs. Gray.
She ordered the lad to put water in kettle
on the stove and when he Jagged in obeying
her, the boy said, she seized a large knife
and plunged it into his abdomen.
John was found bleeding at the foot Of
the stairway by Joseph Harper, a boarder
at the Gray home In his hand he held the
knife. At first the child tried to shield his
stepmother and pretended the affair was
an accident, but the police refused to be-
lieve the statement and began an investiga :
ton. Finally the lad admitted that he was
stabbed by his stepmother.
Vincent Gray. the father, questioned by
the police. confirmed the statement that his

city Solicitor Connellys opinion to the
effect that Councils have exceeded their
powers in approprating s2s5,7ie balance

pay Increases Chairman Gaffney, Of
councils Finance Committee. today de-
clared the increases will go through in
time to become effective April I.
Councils action, according to Chairman
CARNEY, was solely to save the unexpended
balance Of tho loan from being used to
pay mandamuses, in order to have the
money on hand once the Increases arc ap-
proved by Councils. As tho loan was
originally made for salaries as well as de-
hciency bills. II is believed that the money
can now be taken for salaries without any
serious legal difficulties presenting them
selves. Even should IL no ultimately de-
cided to leave the loan balance stand there
Is said to he sufficient money available
from the surplus recently appropriated SO
as to save It from raids originating in the
courts
Chairman Gaffncy proposes having tho
salary increase bills brought up at the next
meeting Of the Finance Committee with
a view TO having them approved and favor

SEEK NEW ROAD ROUTE
Lehigh Valley Business Associations
Petition Legislature

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Feb. 27.-Through
the efforts of the Lehghton Board of Trade,
the Palmerton Cooperative Association and
the Allentown and Easton Boards Of Trade,
a bill has been introduced in the State
Legislature seeking to change the course
of the State highway route between here
and Easton, so as to take in all the i'm
portant towns along the Lehigh River. This
will give this route the use of the State
highway bridge across that stream at
Trechers,
To bring about the change it will be
necessary to move the tracks of the New
Jersey Central Railroad for distance of
a mile at Lehigh Gap, along the edge of
the river and run the public highway north
of the present tracks This will allow the
use of this road during freshets, when the
present one is covered with water for days
at a time The change will also make it
possible Tor towns along the line to have
trolley facilities, which is an impossbility
so long as the present route is used.
