War on Predatory Animals.

Many state game departments real
lie game cannot be protected merely
by controlling the shooter. Such states
encourage warfare against vermin,
Pennsylvania, for instance, pays boun-
ties on some four-footed enemies of
game. And even Uncle Sam, peeved
at the loss Of 0,0O0,000 to $30,0OO,OOO
every year through the slaughter Of
domestic stock by predatory animals,
has directed the bureau Of biological
survey to kill, trap or poison such
"varmlnts" as the mountain lion, tim.
Der wolf, coyote, bobcat and the stock
killing bear Last year the bureau EN-
plOyed 266 men to do this, and II esti-
mated they killed 10000 predatory
animals.

BUDDY SURELY WAS HUNGRY
Chiefly Through Her Efforts, Those
Thousand Herring Disappeared In
Double-Qulck Time.

"Me and my buddy can eat n thou
sand of them" was the surprising
statement of a resident of the fishing
shore section Of one of the Virginia
counties bordering on the Potomac
river when he witnessed small haul
Of herring one afternoon.
"You and your buddy can eat n
thousand Of 'em2" asked one Of n
party of farmers waiting to get a
load of fish to put away for winter
use.
"Who Is your buddyT
The man who had made the bonst
had been heard to indulge in extrava-
giant conversation before and the gath
cred farmers concluded they would
call what they termed his bluff.
Fifty dollars was the amount Of
the wager, and the following Tuesday
was the time fixed for the eating. The
thousand fish were piled near the
steamboat landing and the man whose
buddy was to assist in the eating Of
them appeared on the appointed hour.
"Just cook hundred Of EN-" he
said, and leave the 900 uncooked
ones where they are"
But where's your buddyT impa-
tient bystanders chorused.
The hundred hesHng were cooked
and the belle OF the fishing shore an
nounced everything in readiness for
the feast.
rs that your buddy?" asked the
man interested to the amount of $50
in the transaction. "You call that
your buddy3"
Sure" was the response.
They were talking about 300
pound sow that had had nothing to
eat since the day the wager was
placed, and "me and buddy" succeed
ed in successful performance of
the disappearing act.--Exchange

A statement to that effect was en-

political associates of the adminis-

Among those who consulted with
the President were John T. Adams.
chairman of the republican national
committee; c. d. Hilles. former
chairman; Fred W. Upton. treasurer;
Senator James w. Wadsworth Of
New York, Attorney General Harry

Because the President insists that
he is not going west as a candidate
and because the series of consulta-
lions might be subject to "miscon-

ticed. There was leak, however.

SHIPPING BOARD WET ALLEGATIONS
Commission Threatens To
Withhold Docking Space
To Leviathan

NEW YORK, May 17-Controversy
over the giant liner Leviathan broke
out anew today when the Sinking
Fund commission threatened to with
hold Manhattan docking space for
the steamship unless Chairman Las
ker of the shipping board reconsider
ed his decision not to award the
Brooklyn navy yard the contract for
reconditioning the President Buch-
anan.
At the same time, the Interna-
tional Mercantile marine and the
Cunard line, both operating large
liners, protested against the grant
ing of Pier Sc to the Leviathan
claiming they were facing the loss
of the Chelsea piers. They requested
that no plan be considered until pro-
vision was made for all
The city's action in Withholding ap-
prevail for pier space for the Levia-
than resulted from the failure of the
Brooklyn navy yard to receive the
contract for reconditionng the Preci-
dent Buchanan. The contract was
awarded to a Newport News ship
building concern.
The Sinking Fund commission held
the docking space contract in abey-
ance after instructing Dock Com
missioner Delany to confer with
Chairman Lacker Delany had re-
ported tentative agreement for a
100000 annual rental for Pier Sc
with the United American Lines,
which proposed to use the pier joint
ly with the United States Lines, op-
orators of the Leviathan, and had
recommended the acceptance.
Shipping board officials held that
the Levlathan would be badly hand
capped in competition with other
ships if compelled to dock in Ho-
boken. where it used the army piers
during the war, and declined to dock
there.
