DOE SHOOTING
CAUSES ANGER
Many Report Residents
Aroused Over Killing of j
Female Deer

KEYPORT, Sept. 21.-Indignation
is running high in sections of this
borough and vicinity over the shoots
ing of a doe on the James P. WALL
ing property between this borough
and Keansburg. The doe at the
time of the shooting, which occurred
as far as can be learned early Wed-
nesday afternoon as accompanied by
two fawns. No attempt was made to
remove the dead animal by the per-
son who shot it and 1t remained
along the roadside until yesterday
before it was removed by some one
whose identity has not been estab-
lished as yet.
Although it is out of season for
deer shooting, the most pathetic part
or the affair is that when the doe
was found two fawns were standing
over the dead mother. Daniel WALL
ing, of Green Grove avenue, was
able to catch one of the fawns and
took 1t to his home with the inten-
ton of feeding it and giving it care
until it might be able to look out
for itself. The fawn, however, waa
too wild and refused all nourish-
mentj wen though efforts were
made to feed it from a bottle. Mr.
Walling allowed the animal it's
freedom when he realized that 1t
would not be content in captivity.
AS there is a severe penalty for
shooting deers out of season, no one
knows who shot the doe and If they
do are Withholding all informations

the official closing date for subscrip-

passed, funds continue to arrive and
are being sent to the relief head-

william c. Acken, who had charge
of the receipt of funds, expressed
himself yesterday as well pleased
with the response to the appeal on
the part of residents of the borough,
despite the fact that the quota was
not reached. The feeling prevailed
generally that the $500 quota all
loted to the town was entirely too
high in comparison to the larger
municipalities of the county.
No canvas for funds was made
but the contributions were made vols
UNFAIRLY and at the close of the cam
paign $514.67 was received. Since
that time $40 has been received and
any additional moneys received will
be forwarded to headquarters.

SPAIN IS LIKELY TO
REVERT TO REPUBLICANISM
lContinued from page 1)


Another consideration lies in the
determination of the military direc-
torate to suppress Separation in Cat
alcnia and other regions in Spain
This is conceded to be likely to add
to the enemies of the present regime
but it is generally recognized that
for the most part the ~separatist cam
Ipaign is conducted for purely politi-
cal purposes. 1t is pointed out that
the young men connected with the
.separatist movement are the ones
who display the real enthusiasm,
which usually SINNERS down as they
become more mature. In some quar-
tiers however, it Is anticipated that
the forcible stoppage of their separa-
fist outbursts may result in making
them really fervent adherents of the
