Shooting Before Daylight Costly TO
Duck Hunters

Perry, Iowa,--It cost two Des
Moines hunters yesterday S31.45 each
for two ducks which they shot be-
fore daylight near here in the morn
ing. In the future it is likely that
these hunters viii be willing to give
duck sportsman's chance and not
sneak up on them in the dark.
The hunters who pleaded guilty to
shooting before daylight were T. w.
Thorpe and Alex Orr. They came
here to hunt at Long pond, west of
town. The almanac fixed 6:43 as the
time of sun rise yesterday morning.
The men were arrested by Deputy
State Game Warden Fred Dollarhide
at 6:05, after they had killed the two
birds.
Before Justice L. A. French the
men entered a plea of guilty, and
were fined $25 and costs for each
duck, or a total of 5000.

RICHARD IGNORANT
OF FOOT BALL GAME
Promoter Insists He Saw
Contest But Didn't Know j,
What It Was About.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Assoca ted Press.
NEW YORK, March 2S.-Evidence
in the Rickard rape trial was all in
at noon. Supreme Court Justice Was
servogel told the jury he hoped to
give them the case late today, after
both sides had summed up.
The state. in it's efforts to prove
that Tex Rickard had assaulted fif-
teen-year- Sarah Schoenfeld, called
only one witness in rebuttal-Detec-
tive McGann, who arrested the sport
promoter last January. The defense
took several exceptions.
The sport promoter this morning
admitted that he was so little ac-
quainted with foot ball that he didn't
know the number of players on a
team
The first touch of levity that has
fendant was being cross examined
regarding his alibi. that he was at
the Dartmouth Pennsylvania foot
ball game at the Polo Grounds, No
vember ~. at the time when he was
supposed to have met Sarah Schoen-
field.
Rickard testified that the Dart
uth-Pennsylvania encounter was
the first and only game of foot ball
he ever had seen and that he went to
the Polo Grounds only to get the air.
Asked how the elevens lined up, he
HAAo " % So that thSS JooS oNoetSi So
around"
Did you see any kick OFF," asked
Assistant District Attorney Pecora.
What kind of a kickoff?'
Asked to describe plays he had wit
messed. he said he had seen every one
trying to take the ball away from the
man who was running with it. He ad-
mitted later he didn't know this was
violation of the rules. He added
that the crowd seemed crazy about
some run that they were talking
about.
He denied that he ever had gone to
newspaper Office to talk with w. S.
Farnsworth, a sporting editor. about
him having seen him at the Polo
Grounds. Farnsworth previously had
testified to seeing Rickard at the
game.
Whom the cross examination shifted
to Richards business enterprises he
admitted he had promoted a number
of oil and mining companies that
never had paid an ydividends. He
also testified to having tried to sell
stock in the South American Land and
Cattle Company. an organization
which he said had met with little sue
cess.

RUSSIA FEARS SPRING
WILL BRING PESTlLENCE

| MOSCOW, March 4.-The spring sun

| flowers and promises of harvest to

| this year as the harbinger of pesti-
lence
The winter cold. though encourage
ing typhus and increasing the suf-
| fering OF the half-clad famine VIC
Tins of the Volga districts, neverthe-
less has acted also as a germicide.
The bodies of the thousands of famine
dead froze stiff where they lay and
they were taken to shallow graves
and handled with little danger of
contagion except from typhus. which
| Is spread by a particular type of
louise. She workers had no fear of
cholera, for the cold rendered any
microbes Of that disease almost
harmless.
The spring sun. however. will
changes all this. Both the bolshevik
government~and the American Relief
Administration physicians and sani-
tarians who are active in the famine
regions realize the danger that warm
weather will bring. They are taking
all the steps that their limited facili-
ties accord to guard the people
against an epidemic of cholera in the
spring.

IMPORTANT TO THE
RAILROAD men AND
ALL OTHER VOTERS

On another page in this issue ap
pears in full House Bill No. "A, ap-
proved March II, 1921, which is law
giving voters who are absent from
the county on election day, or those
who anticipate being absent. on that
date, the privilege Of voting previous
to election day and having their votes
counted as if cast at the polls on the
regular election day.
This law will be of great advantage
to men employed on the railroad,
many of whom in previous elections
have been deprived of the franchise
due to absence from the county on
their runs or on other business. They
can now vote at any time previous to
election day, their ballots sealed and
held and counted in the precinct in
which they are registered along with
other ballots cast on that day.
Those who are interested should
read this law carefully, and if they
anticipate the possibility Of absence
on election day they should lose no
time in going to the Justice of the
Peace in the precinct in which they
are registered and seeing that their
vote is recorded. The ballot will be
secret and sealed until election day.

WIN. A. M'ADOO
PRAISES HUNT

William McAdoo former secretary
OF the treasury and director general
OF railroads, In his address to the
citizens of Phoenix last week, re-
1erred briefly to Arizona politics. Mr..
McAdoo, after recounting numerous
violations Of trust on the part of the
republican national administration,
detailing how the farmers had been
deflated, five million workers thrown
out employment, describing the in
famies of the tariff bill and how it
would operate to prevent commerce
In both exports and imports and
would eventually destroy our foreign
commerce, said the hope of the coun-
tly was in turning the republican
party out. He also urged the re-elec-
tion of United States Senator Ashurst
and Congressman Carl Hayden.
Mr. McAdoo apologized for injecting
local state politics into his address,
but gave as an extenuating circum-
stance the fact atht he had personally
known Geoarge w. z. Hunt for a
number OF years when both were Oc-
Cupying important positions of trust.
Mr.. MeAdoo also said that he had
also been the owner of number of
acres of land in Arizona and was
familiar with the economic manner In
which Geo. w. r. Hunt had conduct
ed the affairs of his office as gov
ernor He said that Mr.. Hunt was a
very much abused man and that the
charges against him We're untrue. In
fact, that many of the charges against
all public men were more or less un-
true. He said that his personal
friendship for Mr. Hunt and his
knowledge of his ability as states
man inpelled him to urge upon the
voters of Arizona that they elect Gov
ernor Geo. w. p. Hunt as governor
again, and with him the entire demo-
cratic ticket
