Report Lumbermen
Killing Moose

Bangor, Me-. Sept. 11.-Reports re-
ceived today by eastern Maine game
wardens are to the effect that the ben
efcial effects Of the fve-year close
time on bull moose, decreed by the
Maine Legislature, are likely to be
more than counterbalanced by illegal
slaughter Of large numbers of the an
imals by lumbermen. The high price
OF beef is given as the reason for the
illegal killings.
Moose cannot legally be killed in
Maine until 1921, but, In numerous
cases. they are shot by woods crews
in isolated regions and served on the
camp tables, often disguised under the
name Of lamb" or mutton" Usual
~ the carcasses are secreted where it
is difficult to find them and a close
watch of all trails and logging roads
is kept for the occasional visits o!
game wardens.
Many of the wardens realize that
the illegal killings are going on, but
1t is impossible to make arrests upon
suspicion and it is oftentimps difficult
to secure evidence upon which to Sc
cure a conviction.

weeks ago Gen. Kornilon began under
various pretexts to take tactical ad-
ministrative measures in order to
concentrate troops for action against
Petrograd. Declaring that he desired
TO prevent military congestion, he
withdrew from the capital and its
environs troops devoted to the provi-
sional government, 1t is said, but Al
the same time sent to Petrograd va
rious units, particularly cavalry which
he considered certain to support him
self.
Gen. korniloff. however. had not had
time to remove all the governmental
troops. it appears from this account. and
, though there are believed to be pro-Kor-
niIor in and about the city and particu-
larly on the railroad between Pskoff and
Ono, the superiority of the forces in Pet
rograd is supposed to be on the side OF
the government.
1t is stated also the pro-Korhiloff troops
in Pe.rograd had no prior knowledge OF
the plot. They have 80 far been quiet,
but among them Is proceeding a danger
GUS ferment. primarily directed against
the Bolshiviki majority Of the garrison.
The government party declares that no
troops at the rear will support the revolt.
Up 20 late Sunday night the rank and
file of the army at the front was ignorant
of Gen. Korniloff's coup. Premier ker-
ensky is in hourly communication with
his commissaries at the front who are
instructed firmly to oppose the pro-kor-
niloff agitation. among the soldiery and
in pa -ticular to prevent the infection
spreading among regiments which are
known to be on the side of the govern
ment.
The Isvestia declares that. contrary to
expecta tons the influential Union of the
Cavaliers of St George the members OF
which demonstrated against the govern
ment It the Moscow conference. will sup
port Premier Kerensky. Yesterday at
their congress they passed a resolution
IL this sense.

While the cabinet was debating the
form the new government should as
sumo, the central executive commit
tee of the all-Russian Councils OF
Deputies held an exciting session at
which opinion was unanimously ex-
pressed to support the kerensky gov
eminent. Speeches were delivered In
behalf of all the parties represented and
resolutions as to necessary measures
were passed.
NJ. Tcheidse. president of the Coun-
Gil of Workmen's and Soldiers Depu

that the suggested change. with all
that 1t would involve. would not be
satisfactory to the people. Questioned
as &c how long a car was supposed to
remain in the street he gave the time
as three minutes. He said that he
thought they never remained there
longer than eight minutes.

Conference Of Diplomats

The conference of diplomats in Pc
trograd was interpreted here as pos
sibly intended to obtain precise in
formation on the political crisis for
reports TO their governments or to
learn the governments intention in re-
eard to moving its seat to Moscow.
The reported movement OF civilians
from the city in view Of the threat
ened advance Of German armies from
Riga gave strength to the opinion that
the foreign diplomats were concerned
over the evacuation. Unofficial dis
patches have indicated that the gov
eminent expected to remain at Petro-
grad.
The state department had no cord
from Ambassador Francis
