Altoona. Pa, July 1 CA. P.)-The
former Kaiser of Germany, William
Hohenzollern. in exile at Doom, has
hopes that his luck will improve soon
because Of a gift sent him by Charles
Gorsuch. the village blacksmith at
Martinsburg, Blair county.
For years Gorsuch has forged tiny
good luck horse shoes in his odd mo-
ments, and sent them to notables in
ali parts of the world. After forging
his most recent Charm, Gorsuch re-
viewed the international situation in
an effort to find the notable who was
in need of luck. He selected the for
mer Kaiser and sent the shoe to
Doom.
Baron Won Coern, marshal of Will
Jams household at Doom, accepting
the luck charm for his master, sent
this message to Gorsuch:
His majesty. the kaiser and king.
has very gladly accepted the rood
luck horseshoe you sent and CRATE
fully thanks you for same. The re-
ply was accompanied by an auto
graphed photograph of the former
emperor.

lumberman Dies In Auto

Bangor. Me-, June 30.-A crew of
woodsmen had dead man for a
companion for many miles on the
way out of the woods from the Pitts
ton farm to lockwood, on Moosehead
Lake.
The men were taken in a car for
the trip and supposed that one of
their number went to sleep on the
way. When the others got out at
lockwood he didn't move and was
found to be dead.
The man was hired at a Bangor
labor agency under the name of
James McDermott and was about SIS
years old. Nothing is known of his
relatives or his home address, al
though it is believed that he came
from the provinces.

Mr.. Fred L. Bunker OF North Arson,
has been Ill for come time and only
recently has attended the Pier meet
ings. I am glad to learn. however.
that he has recovered his health and
is no wattending the Pier meetings.
From this it will be seen that the
control of the Pier virtually is in the
hands of Portland men with the
fourth member residing in a nearby
town. The law provides that the
Mayor of Portland appoint the Chair
man. and this of itself gives that city
a distinct advantage to which no
doubt it Is entitled, as with South
Portland it contributed $350,000 to
buy the site Of the Pier.
II do not reappoint Messrs. Gunlac
and Lauglflin for the reason that l
Relieve Eastern and Northern Maine
should be represented on the Board.
The State already has spent $1,150,-
600 and recently has appropriated an
additional $165,000, making a total of
$1,350,000 Of the States money. The
State also has paid the interest on
the bonds, amounting to $4,000 per
year and in the future this interest
will continue to be paid by the State,
although it is hoped that the ordi-
nary running expenses Of the Pier
can be met out of the earnings.
LAS Governor Of the entire State
1 endeavor to make appointments
representing all sections, and my
reason for making change Is in a
spirit of fairness to the Northern
and Eastern counties. that have con-
tributed generously toward the con-
struction of the Pier and they should
have omsething to say as to how the
Pier is to be managed.
Mr. o. B. Griffin of Caribou, who
takes Mr.. Gunlac's place, owns and
operates a large farm in Aroostooll
county. He always has taken an in
terest in public affairs and is promi-
nent in the State Grange. Mr.. Grif-
fin is worthy representative of
Eastern and Northern Maine, from
which should come much of the pro-
duce and merchandise that is shipped
over the Pier. The farmers of the
State will be glad to have one of their
representatives on the Board of Dir
ectors and it is fitting that such
should be the case.
"Hon. +. w. Hyde of Bath, who
takes Mr.. Laughlin's place, is
thoroughly conversant with the
shipping industry and comes of the
we'll known family that has been so
successful in shipbuilding. Mr. Hyde
has Travelled extensively around the
world and is in position to give of
his valuable time and knowledge to
the Pier"

Annual Report of
State COmm'r. Of
Fisheries & Game

Hon. Willis l.. Parsons of Dover
FoXcroft, commissioner of inland
fisheries and game, in his annual re-
port which was filed with the Gov
ernor and Council Saturday, says
that game conditions remain about
the same as last year.
Game birds Wintered well, the
deep snow being Il protection rather
than a menace to the rutfed grouse,
as there was no crust to prevent their
burrowing as they pleased" contin-
ues Commissioner Parsons in his re-
port.
In most localities, the deer also
Jared we'll unless disturbed by bob
cats and loupcerVier which have be-
come a real menace. The depart
mept encourages in every way pos
sible the hunting of these destruc-
tive animals. They not only Stay
many deer but get game birds as
well, and the long, severe winter
made them unusually ravenous. Not
withstanding that fact, however, it
is believed by many of the veteran
wardens and guides that the deer
are holding their own, ii not actually
on the increase.
MANY moose have also been re-
ported in some sections and proba-
bly, every northern county is the
home OF several families.
THE new law changing the open
season for hunting from october
first to November 30th.. SO that the
open season now begins Oct. il,
thus shortening the season two
weeks, will save many deer and some
human lives as well as many for
est fires. The leaves are on Octo-
Der first and it was the doe and small
deer that were mostly slain the first
two weeks. More than half of them
were wasted and had to be left in the
woods on account of the warm wealth
er, or spoiled on the train before
they reached cold storage. Fires are
more liable to be started before the
fall rains as further reason why the
change was made. Human life is
of more consequence than all else.
and last year five men were slain
in the woods before the fifteenth
of October.
The general open season for trap
ping fur-bearing animals was also
made later SO that the fur would
be nearer prime, or more valuable,
when taken.
Many of the first skins brought
in under the old law were almost
valueless and thus created an an
nual waste for both the trapper and
state.

Champ Learning To Speak Spanish For Use Against Firpol

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, Au- gust 3O.--Jack Dempsey is learning to speak Spanish so he will be able to surprise Luis Angel Firpo with few choice remarks when the& ex- change punches in their battle \sep- tember II.
 The champion admits he has \no chance of mastering the languageA but wants to learn just enough of Firpos native lingo to carry him through.
 Dempsey's tutor is Louis F. Sulzon, his chauffeur, who attended the Uni versity of Spain and later taught Spanish in Porto Rico.
 The champion takes lessons in the evening when the cottage is deserted.
 Thus far Dempsey can tell Firpo to duck, be careful or come on.
