Governor Smith on the Appropria-
ton Bill.

While the Governor Of New York
has authority to disapprove any item
in the appropriation bill he is not en-
powered to reduce the amount Of an
appropriation. Thus, II specific up
preparation made by the Legislature
IL In his judgment excessive he can
veto it, but he cannot cut 1t down to
a sum he may believe 1t Is desirable
to devote to the object involved.
This year the annual appropria-
ton bill as passed by the Legislature
provided for expenditures reaching
the total of $50, SOC, 292.45. Governor
SMITH cut from this items aggregat-
ing $2,1S5,343.56. He wanted to re-
duce the amounts of other Items, but
could not do it. In this situation
he proposed to the authors Of the bill
that he veto these items and that the
needs of the departments affected be
covered in supplemental measure to
be drafted by the legislative leaders,
the department heads and the Gov
ernor. To this the legislative leaders
naturally would not consent. The ap-
preparations which the Governor con-
sidered too large represented their
best judgment as to the needs of the
State, recorded in their official act.
Their position was that II the Cover

opposition to the items was not sufii-
ciently strong to justify him in his
own mind In this course II was his
duty to approve the allowances.

approprla ton bill objected to and not
approved by him the Governor said:

should track each item Of appropria-

greater number Of the appropriations
are of n routine character, requiring
little attention, and moreover the re-

making is not to be ignored, and 1t Is
not necessary or desirable that the
Governor should take 1t all on his
shoulders.

The Official report made by Wis.

women who would not embrace the
Moslem religion were deported and II

following report was made:
II learned that the tanners and the
butchers OF Anrora were called to

mitted to them for murder. The
mountains around Yozgad are a vast

When the Governor was petitiosed
to save the children, he replied: 81

Theodore Roosevelt to the Exter-
minatOrs OF Big Game.

On Thursday afternoon next Gov
ernor SMITH will hold a hearing on
the bill, passed by both the Assembly
and the Senate, which will permit
the killing Of a deer Of either sex,
other than fawns, during the open
season. This bill changes the present
law which permits the taking OF two
bucks only. Those who desire the
killing of doe deer, the breeders Of
the race, have now almost reached
their goal.
The buck law, under its six years
trial in the Empire State, has to a
very marked degree safeguarded hui
man life, for the hunter has had to
know what he was aiming at. 1t has
kept the deer population breeding nor.
mally with $4,000 animals in the
Adirondacks and Catskllls, sought an.
nually by from $4,000 to $1,000 hunt.
ers. 1t has given surplus each year
for the hunter and been instrumental
also in opening new territory for the
sportsman.
Now all this Is to be changed, II
the members Of the Senate and As
sembfy have their way. The opinion
Of 10000 organized sportsmen-mem-
bers Of the New York State Forest,
Fish and Game League-who have
yearly protested against the bill Is
to be cast aside. Yet one Of the big
reasons for the buck law Is to provide
hunting in the years to come. not only
for the present generation but those
who come after. The men Of to-day
have no right to destroy the heritage
that belongs to the boys Of to-day who
will be the men of tomorrow. The
men of tomorrow have right to be
considered by the men of to-day. And
they ought to receive the heritage
unimpaired.
Americas big game has been d.
minishing rapidly. "If we are a
sensible people," said Americas fore
most sportsman-naturalis THEODORE
ROOSEVELT, in discussing the deer
family, 1--WE shall make 1t our business
to see that the process of extinction
is arrested. Every believer in manli-
ness, and therefore in manly sport,
and every lover of nature, every man
who appreciates the majesty and the
beauty of the wilderness and Of wild
life, should strike hands with the far
sighted men who wish to preserve our
material resources, In the effort to
keep our forests and our game beasts,
game birds and game fish-indeed, all
the living creatures of prairie and
woodland and seashore--from wanton
destruction"

them by the traitor ARNOLD, In which
their wretched condition was con-

Turkish Government. They also ap-
parently differ as to. the question OF
guilt and the proper punishment to
be melted out to the perpetrators of
those crimes.
TALAAT Bey. the Minister of the In
terror In ENvER Pasha's Cabinet, de-
clared that he made n thorough In
vestigation Of the massacres and
found the reports so exaggerated that
he had the heart to arrest only one
officer and six soldiers. whom he
threw into prison. MoHAMMEp VI.
recently declared that the massacres
and deportations of the Armenians
were horrors that cost him his most
valuable subjects in Asiatic Turkey,
and that he was determined to punish
the men responsible In carrying out
this determination he ordered in Feb
ruary the arrest Of q number of mill
tary and civil officials. The first re-
suit of the trials was the execution
of the former Governor of Diarbekr,
KEMAL Bey. He was hanged in Bay
