Bag Many Wild
Animals in West

Last winter one of our hunters was
assigned to these ranges. He was
handicapped by heavy SHOWS and bad
weather, but he got so many of the
brutes that he virtually eliminated
the pests from this section. A new
hunter was assigned to the infested
ranch of Edward Otero not far away.
While waiting for him l set a line Of
twelve traps and distributed two hun
dred poison bats. My catch was five
old coyotes, one of which was killed
with rifle at long range. A few days
after his arrival the new hunter got
two more coyotes and brace of wild
cats in the vicinity. For some time
before that from three to six lambs
had been lost every night In ten days
the hunter could find no more of the
animals and moved to a neighboring
ranch.
Old Ones Are Wary.
''Enere are many instances where
the younger and less shy coyotes aud
cats have been taken during the win
ter by fur hunters. leaving the Older
and more wary animals alive. These
do the killing and keep the ranches
paying toll to their kind. / have notes
in my field diary describing the work
of the old coyote which l have mem
toned as having been killed with the
rifle. This fellow bore evidence of
having been previously caught in a

A BoIshevist Exhibit

This is the story of a Russian shoe
factory and what happened to it, as
told by Emanuel Aronsberg in St7uq-
CLING Russia.
The business was founded some twen-
ty years ago in Western Russian city
and prospered. The proprietor was not
of the kind called in Russian Beilo-
rutsha ("white hands," afraid Of work..
He was the factory's hardest worker, and
succeeded in making his establishment
temple Of labor, with a spirit of mutual
good will prevailing He paid the high
est wages and he never had strike. So
high was the repute of his products that
any man trained in his shop was sure
of job wherever he went He was a
man of great humanity and sympathy.
On one occasion, worker having been
caught stealing, he took the culprit into
his private Office, talked to him, and
ultimately the repentant thief became
the factory's foreman.
In the early days Of the war boots
were made for the Russian army, but
the German advance having come, the
machinery and the family Of workers
were removed to Moscow, where they
were soon busy again. Then came the
Bolsheviki. A commjssary appeared with
orders to elect factory committee to
take charge. The proprietor made no
objection, the committee took his advice,
and affairs went on largely as before.
The harmony gave dissatisfaction. A
commissary visitor concluded a long
speech by pointing to the proprietor and
saying: "There he is, your exploiter and
sworn enemyw The men laughed and
shouted laundering "Now Whereupon
they were told they were ignorant,
should at once become class conscious.
Shortly afterward the manufacturer
was carted off and locked up. He was
released, but only after "some one in
power" had been quieted by six figure
ransom. Toward autumn last year the
effects of Bolshevism rapidly matured

To tho Editor Of The Tribune:
CIR: AS Cuban resident in this coun-

probation of the spirit Of fairness which
inspired you to reproduce in your issue of
yesterday the editorial article from the
'Herado de Cuba' in reference to the I'M
fair and most unusual attitude of the
American Minister at Havana. Thousands
Of my fellow citizens will doubtless share
my satisfaction when they learn that
Tribune is ready to defend foreign and
friendly nation against acts Of injustice
and impropriety, even though they be per-
formed by highly placed American diplo-
matte representative in his official capac-
ity.
The statements so temperately set forth
in the "Heraldo" but feebly express the
true facts of situation which has already
done, and is still doing, infinite harm to the
friendly relations of my country with the
United States. because it is difficult for US
to believe that the government at Wash
ington can be entirely ignorant of facts
which are common knowledge to all Cubans
and to every American who visits Cuba
The well founded complaints against the
general attitude and policy of Mr.. Gonzalez
not only voiced by the political oppo-
nents Of the Menocal administration, but
equally by educated and patriotic citizens
not within the sphere of politics, who re-
gard the partisan activities Of the present
American Minister as far stronger attack
upon the sovereignty and independence of
Cuba even than the Platt amendment.
We are by no means unmindful of the
gratitude we owe to the United States for
the past sacrifices of its government and
people in the generous and successful eff
fort to secure our freedom from colonial
serfdom and to confer, upon us that ma
tional independence to which our high
standard of civilization and progress en-
titles us in these days of right and self
determination for small nations. We do
not even object to American intervention
In our domestic affairs if it is legtimately
exercised for the proper enforcement of law
and order. What we do object to and what
we cannot submit to without protest is
American intervention to lend official en-
couragement to an oligarchc governing
authority which not only ignores law and
maintains public order by violence but en-
tirely deprives the people of the most ee-
mentary rights Of citizenship. AS | am con-
WINGED that the United States government
would not for moment sanction such q
course of action on the part of its official
