ALBANY, July ELECTROMAGNETIC
by the Conservation Commission that
the Legislature repeal the law permit
ting the taking OF dogs into the forest
preserve may possibly be :Oreshadowed
by A statement by the commission that
out Of III cases OF violations OF the
deer law obtained last fall 10y secret
service methods there were htty-one
cases OF hunting deer with dogs.
In addition. the commission says that
il ascertained that much other hound
ing Of deer was pract'sed regarding

ing evidence.

the session Of 1879 II was unlawful

this privilege, provided no general
abuse followed.
Tho commission feels that inasnuch
as 1t Is impossible to hunt deer with
Jugs 10 tne extent tLtlSel last NtHl
without It becoming generally known
throughout the section where the hound

evidence regarding such violations had

OF the dog license law which Is directly

Commissioner Pratt with advocates %

the Legislature.
The Commissioner holds that the
moral force OF the community is suf-
fcient TO prevent violations by all ex-
cept the most obduratc as indeed the
strength OF any law is in the public
approval behind 1t. and he had hoped
that the attitude OF hunters generally
toward bounding had changed suffi-
clently TO justly permits TO take dogs
into the woods for all proper purposes.
In commenting on the large proper
ton OF bounding violations Cum!uIa-
s!orer Pratt stated to-day that one
more deer hunting season remains be-
fore the Legislature meets again.

Alarming Decrease Of Birds
Arouses State Fish, Game
and Forest League.

BATAVIA. ". 7. July 13.-Albert J.
Squires. president OF the New York
State Fish, Game and Forest League,
has been urged by the membership of his
association TO petition the Conservation
Commission to close the season on rufed
grouse for n period OF two years. Sports
men throughout the State are back OF
the movement. bill for which was In
the Legislature but was defeated.
The killing OF the bill by lack OF
legislative action, unless the Consesva-
ton Commission grants the petitions. fol-
lowing a hearing on the subject. means
that two months Shooting will be per-
mitted. October and November up State
ard November and December on Long
island. Grouse already have been de-
pletei in such numbers that the day
limit for the partridge Is two and tho
beg limit fifteen birds in one season.
The State OK New York is divided Into
twelve districts, known as Central New
York division. Eastern. Western, Hud-
son. Alleganv. Southern. Northern Ad-
irondack. Southern Adirondack. Eastern
Adirondack. 81. Lawrence. Metropolitan
and Long Island and Ontario.
Sportsmen living in these divisions
should write to Mr.. Squlres asking for
petit:on blank and get other sportsmen
TO sign, urging the Conservation Com
mission TO give hearing and in that
way tie ind ferent attitude of the leg.s-
lators ray be overcome.
The dry spring OF 1913 Is the best the
rufted grouse has had for nesting in
three years ard II the bird is to be pre-
served, say those WHO are familiar with
conditions. this years brood will he mos.
telling il II Is permitted to remain un-
molested, and with " added protection
of another year partridge should be In
a nosition TO hold their own.
Pennsylvania. through the Legislature
not being In session. is doing a like work
OF closing the season by counties through
petition.
That ruffed grouse are In the danger
zone there Is no doubt from an analysis
os the questionable sent out by the Con-
servation Commission last January to
game protectors. forest rangers. sports
men and others interested in wild life
New York has had two successive bad
nesting seasons due TO hard rains. which
depleted grouse. The decrease OF rab-
bits In the north. the staff Of life OF YER
min, brought many OF these animals and
birds further south, adding to the com
petition OF local enemies OF the part
ridge. The inroads OF the auto, permit
ting hunters to cover more ground In
one day than they could in week by
walking, has decreased the birds num-
bers. added 10 the rlgors OF winter and
the toll that foxes and certain species OF
hawks and owls take. All these causes
have helped 20 decrease the partridge in
an alarming way.
Legislative action will be TOO late,
even should the Legislature be inclined
20 aid the BIRDS this year, and sportsmen
are urged 10 petition the Conservation
Commission 10 give them aid now and
save the ruffed grouse from the fate Of
the heath hen.
