Fish and Game

Commissioner of Inland Fisheries
and Game Willis e. Parsons is on a
trip to Quebec, for a conference with
the fish and game officials of the Do
ninion of Canada in relation to fur
ther cooperation on the part Of the
provincial wardens along the bor-
der of the State of Maine in enforc-
ing the game laws. It will be re-
membered that the first move in that
direction was made last winter, when
the Canadian officers seized some IL
legally killed deer meat on the bor-
der and shipped it to the Maine de-
partment.
More wardens since that time have
been located by this State along the
border and with the additional men

Grafton Of the Canadian authorities
a far better enforcement of the game
laws may be expected.

Tho Late Geo. w. Leavitt

The late George Washington Lea
witt. who died Sunday morning at
his home at No. Is Hamilton street,
Readville, Mass, was a native of
Pembroke, Me-, where he was born
Feb. II, 1851, on a farm. He re-
ceived his schooling in his native
town. He went to Readville when
but 81 and worked as a timekeeper
in the Moseley Iron Works. where his
brother in-law, Frank Hatton was
superintendent. He remained there
for four years. then returning to
Pembroke, where he stayed two
years.
He then came to Boston and was
a conductor on the Highland Street
Railway for about three years, living
in Dorchester. He was travelling
oil salesman for a few years and
lived at the Quincy House, Boston,
until he settled in Readville, 81 years
ago.
He early started a career that made
him probably the widest known
horseman in New England. He said
himself that his father never could
get any work out Of him as Z boy
unless there was q horse involved.
Singularly enough, his first consid-
cradle ventures in sport were. as a
dog fancier, where he became noted
as early as 1879, when he owned the
champion Irish setter Elcho. Jr., that
he sold for Sits. He was also act
i've importing black spaniels, paying
as high as $3.50 for them abroad.
In 1885 he began to specialize more
on horses. having shown a knack for
picking out great racehorses when
they were colts. He thus bought
racers like Gordon Prince (2.05k) as

the American acceptance of the Shan

a deviation from the American
policy of friendly cooperation" to-
ward the Chinese government, the
Senate Foreign Relations committee
was told today by John G. Ferguson,

on an intimate knowledge of Chinese
official opinion. He said China s
case in the peace conference was
hased on the unanimous advice of
some of the ablest International law
yers of France, Russia, Belgium and
Holland.
