bury. former Lord High Chancellor OF
England, died here yesterday.
Lord HaIsbury, who celebrated his
ninety. eighth birthday last September,
was the nestor Of British politics. His
longevity justified physically the title
of Lord Die e-Hard," which he won
politically through the stubbornness and
indignation with which he led the fight
in England for hereditary privilege,
particularly against the Veto Bill,
whereby the House of Commons sue.
ceeded in curbing largely the power Of
the House of Lords. While his identif.
cation with losing cause IN the last
years of his public life did much to
obscure his record of achievement, he
was really one Of the greatest English
legal authorities Of the last century. AS
Lord Chancellor of England he served
in four Conservative Cabinets, occupy
ing the famous "woolsnck" for seven
teen years in all. from 1885 to 1892 and
from 1895 TO 1905.
Lord BirkenIiead's Tribute
Two years ago. when he celebrated
the seventeen anniversary of his call
to the bar. the present Lord Chancellor,
Lord Brlipnhcad. in tribute to him
on behalf Of the British bench and bar,
said:
1T is amazing to contemplate the
long historical perspective. You were
born during the lord chancellorship Of
Lord Eldon. You we're called to the
bar in the chancellorship Of Gotten
ham. You took silk when ""stbury
was Chancellor: your immediate prede-
cessor on the woolsack was Selbourne.
Success in the profession Of the law
and that vitality which produces length
of days must have some intimate con-
ncction if we may judge by the span Of
life allotted to the ChancellOrs of the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Yet
to none of them was 1t given to look
back on so prolonged professional eX
periencc as TO yourself. st. Leonards
at the age of ninety four looked back
on sixty. eight years, Brougham at
ninety to sixty years, Chelmsford at
cighty-two to sixty years, Lyndhurst at
ninety ono to fifty nine years. Selbournc
at eighty three to fifty eight years.
HathcricY ct eighty TO fifty -four years.
EldOn at eighty-sev to hfty-two
years. These records secm to shrink
when compared with your own ever
green and vigorous lifc."
OF middle "!!:s2 lineage. Lord Halls
bury CIardingc Stanley Giffard) was
the son of Stanley Lees Giffard, the first
editor of the London Standard and n
writer on political and literary topics.
He was the first of his family to gain a
peerage, and after entering the aris
tocracy he was second to none in showing
Difference to his associates whose titles
happened to be more ancient than his
own.
Besides his longevity. Lord ITolsbury
was possessed of few of natures
merely physical gifts. He was n typi;
cal John Bull, short and stout. His
speech, though convincing, was not par
ticularly eloquent and his manners not
always pleasing. He was nothing il not
pugnacious, the bulldog in his appear
ance asserting itself in his actions. This
he attributed to the Irish blood in his

FEW DOES ARE KILLED
Commission Figures Buck
Law a Success-Very Few
Animals Killed.

Reports that have reached the
conservation commission show
that lightweight does and fawns
were killed during the deer sea-
son in violation of the one-buck
law, says a Madison dispatch.
Most were killed accidentally,
though some were taken from
men who had shot them in viola.
ton of law. The number of
bucks killed during the Today
open season is estimated around
$500.
The commission will stand
back of the buck law. which
Commissioner Barber declares
has proved its worth as a con
servation measure. The evidence
the commission has been able to
collect sustains the effectiveness
of the law. Mr.. Barber saws:
Conservation wardens have
investigated every report OF a
slaughtered doe or fawn, and
have made Investigations oftheir
own in the woods. We had 100
men in the woods and their in
formation is pretty complete.
The number of does killed, as
compared to those that would
have been slaughtered with an
open season, is insignificant"

FISHES GETTING WISE
James Nevin of Conservation
Commission Springs a New
Fish Story.

Fish are becoming educated to
the ways of the fisherman and
are refusing to bite. according to
lanes Nevin, member OF the Wis
consin Conservation Commits
sion, who is in charge of fisheries.
He SAYS, reports the Minocqua
Times. there is no other way TO
explain the shortage that lovers
of the famous water sport say
xist among the hnny tribe IN
the state.
"Many people will laugh at
the assertion" says Mr.. Nevin,
"but | ieel certain that such a
condition exists. We have de-
termined that a number OF popu-
lar lakes are full of game fish.
Yet fishermen are able to land
but very few of the big ones, and
complain that there is a short
age. Ii seems clear to me that
the fish are getting educated,
and are realizing what it means
to grab for bait on the end of a
line"
