VISITORS JAM CAMP MERRITT
Record Crowd Sees New Jersey',
Veteran Troops.

The largest crowd OF visitors Camp
Merritt ever had poured into the eaton
ment yesterday TO see the soldiers OF
the 18th Infantry, most of whom are
from Jersey City, Newark and other
New Jersey towns. Relatives Of many
OF the boys had not seen trn', for al
most two years. and grea. Numbers OF
men and women reached the camp soon
after dawn and waited hours at the
hostess house.
1t was early in the afternoon before
any OF the boys were able to get leave
and Join the relatives who were waiting
for them. More than so per cent. of the
regiment got passes yesterday, and the
remainder will be allowed to visit their
homes tomorrow. The troops will re-
main al Camp Merritt until they have
paraded in Jersey City, Newark and
Trenton, after which they will he dis

chairman of the Assembly Committee

chairman of the Assembly Committee
on Conservation; DR.. WILLIAM T.
HoRSADAY, trustee of the Permanent
Wild Life Protection Fund, and
GEORGE y. PRATT, the Conservation
Commissioner, who now approve the
new law.
Doubtless this Is the best possible
way to solve the problem whether the
buck law, which seemingly has met
with much opposition In the Adiron-
dack counties, Is worth retaining or
not. From the hearings held by the
Senate Committee on Conservation
and the hearing before the Governor
both sides seemed to meet on one
common ground. All want to preserve
the deer. The disagreement is as to
methods.
The opposition's point of view was
that doe deer were killed and left to
rot on the ground after mistake"
had been made, and thar this meat
simply went to waste, and the buck
law did not aid in the preservation Of
the deer anyway. The study made by
the Conservation Commission seemed
to prove conclusively that the buck
law should be retained. The records
Of the Conservation Commission show
there has been much violation of the
law during the last six years.
Governor SMITHS approval Of the
new law, together with the approval
of the Conservation Commissioner and
DR.. HoRNADAY, is intended as a test
so that II may be determined from
actual experience during the next
hunting season whether the buck law
or the new act of 1919 actually tends
TO the greater preservation Of the
wild deer in our forests.
1t is the understanding Of Governor
SMITH and Assemblyman EVERETT
reached at the conference, that should
1t appear that the hunting Of does
tends to exterminate the deer. both
will use their influence to have the
law amended next year to provide for
the killing of only one buck. This is
a fair and sensible way of getting at
the actual facts and Is the American
way Of settling controversies where
there is much conflict of opinion.

WINS INCOME TAX APPEAL.
Brokers' Payment to L. 8. Viewed
as Compromise by Higher Court.

The conviction of Seymour L, Rau an
insurance broker charged with lodging
his income tax. was reversed yesterday
by the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals. The prevailing opinion was
written by Judge Martin T. Manton.
Judge Henry w. Rogers concurred.
Judge Henry G. Ward dissented.
The higher court held that the trial
Judge erred in Withholding from the
jury testimony that Rau paid taxes in
arrears and n $3.50 penalty in an eff
fort to avoid indictment. Judge Manton
said:
The fact that the money was retained
by the United States is some evidence
OF its acceptance in compromise We
believe that the facts disclosed in this
record. as far as the defendant was per-
mitted to show them. required OF the
court the submission of the question to
the jury as question of fact under
proper instructions. Whether n compro-
mise was entered into was not a ques-
ton of law for the District Judge, but
was a question of fact"

Hanksyille the Remote.

A Utah subscriber writes to the Out
look to claim for his State, with
melancholy pride. the distinction Of
having the most out Of the way place
in the United States. Huntsville. In
Wayne county, is the towns name.
Travellers approach 1t only from the
west, and, once there, further prog.
ress is impossible except to the ven
turesome. To the north are desert
and mountain. Eastward are the
Orange Cliffs, unbroken except where
Dirty Devil River pours into the
Colorado. To the south are Mount
Ellen and other giants of the Henry
Mountains.
Huntsville is only sixty miles from
Green River, but a letter sent from
one town to another passes through
the hands of three star route con-
tractors and is sixteen days on the
way, so circuitous Is the journey
around the mountains. The nomina-
tor Of Huntsville for the lonesome
honors boasts that most mail wrap
pers are worn off before they finish
the trip.
Let Huntsville enjoy its glory while
1t may. If Mr.. BURLEsoN should stay
at the head Of the Post Office Depart.
ment for a couple of years more every
town in the United States would feel
that 1T was as far out of the way as
the jumping off place on the Dirty
Devil River.

Theories of Deer Preservation.

The so-called "buck law" which
since 1912 has permitted hunters TO
kill two buck deer in the open season,
has been wiped off the statute books
by Governor SMITH's approval of the
Everett bill. The law now permits the
killing, during a six weeks open sea-
son, OF one deer ~ either sex other
than fawns, with the restriction that
evidence of sex shall not be removed
from the carcass Of the deer. This Is
to enable the game protectors to clas-
sify by sex the animals killed
The new regulation is the result az

Introducing Bolshev ism Into Asia.

The young Amir of Afghanistan
may be as cunning and shrewd as he
is credited with being, but he seems
TO have overplayed the little war he
has started against the British by
opening up negotiations with LEVINE
and threatening TO introduce Bol6he-
vism into Asia. The threat gave more
prominence to his attack on the north
Indian frontier than such forays had
in the past received; but 1T called
also to mind that there was far
greater distance between his pocket
and the Russian treasury than there
was before the war.
On account Of the position of AZ
ghanistan rs n link between the Rus
sian and British empires former
Amirs almost every spring had n
pleasant game of playing one Power
against the other. This sport, how
ever, ended few years ago when On
Afghan ruler agreed to leave the con-
troll of the country's foreign affairs to
Great Britain. For this concession
he was to receive certain monetary
consldera atoms and military supplies
The present Amir, dissatisfied with
the amount that was being paid to
him, attempted to restore the old
game of his ancestors.
1t was unfortunate for his scheme
that Russia Is no longer n menace to
the British Indian possessions. There
