D DENIES WHOLESALE
 DESTRUCTION OF GAME

CHICAGO. Nov. 9.-E. A. McIlhenny, president of the Louisiana Gulf Coast club, tonight issued a denial of, all charges made by T. Gilbert Pearson, president of the National Association of Audubon societies, at a recent
 meeting of the association in New York.
 MT. Pearson was quoted as saying that he had made motion pictures showing that decoys and bait were planted OH McIlhenney's thousands of
 acres. where whole flocks of migra- tory wild fowl were being shot down
 after having been lured out of the adjoining game sanctuaries."
 l In letter to MT. McIlhenney re- ceived today MT. Pearson denied that
 he made any such statement as was
 credited to him in news dispatches.
 What little opposition has been voiced against the club" Mir. Me Ilhenney said "came from a. few persons who call themselves conser- vationists but who fail to realize what practical conservation means. Prior to the time the Louisiana Gulf Coast club acquired the 100000 acres
 referred to by MT. Pearson, this prop
 erty was being pounded to death by gunners who killed many times the amount of game that will be taken in the future. Hereafter 12 months out of the year the visiting wild fowl will be provided with planted food and
 cared for by experienced game war
 dens. Whatever hunting there may be during the prescribed season will be done by club members who are practical conservationists and who would not want only to destroy that

TAMMANY SHOWS |TS POWER AGAIN
RepubIiCan-Hearst Coalition Bows Before Murphy Dr.
 ganization

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Revised re- ] turns in Tuesdays election showed today that although the democrats swept New York city, the pluralities were somewhat reduced, as cont pared with the election last fall.
 Republican leaders professed the falling off was significant. but demo- cratic spokesmen said the smaller pluralities meant nothing, consider | ing the registration was lighter and that it was an off year. 1 Tammany, in the face of a republi- can-Hearst coalition elected eight jus tices of the supreme court in Man. hattan and the Bronx. The average plurality was 11s,Ooo. The highest plurality was that given to Aaron J. Levy, 144,324, and the lowest to Jeremiah T. Mahoney, S3,547.
 Two justices running on both tickets were elected.
 Tammany. besides winning the county offices in all boroughs, strengthened it's grip on the board | of aldermen, swelling it's majority to 57, while the republican minority was further reduced from twelve to eight. The democrats also won in three of the six contests for municipal court 1 justice.
 Tammany defeated two of the four republican assemblymen in Manhat- tan, but loss of democratic seats up- state, as well as one in Queens and one in Brooklyn, gives the Republi- cans complete sway of the lower house.
 Friends of Governor Smith admitted l 1t would be almost impossible for him to carry through his legislative program in view of the republican strength in the house. At the last assembly the republican majority blocked many of the governors meas ures, which has passed the demo- cratic senate.

Prisoner Of Republic

MUNICH, Bavaria, Nov. s.-(By As- sociated Press)-Gen. Erich Luden- dorff today lost his second "putsch" kithin three years and tonight is ob- serving the fifth anniversary of the German revolution a prisoner in the custody of the federal troops.
 The man who as commander In chief of the German forces is cred ited with having lost the World war for Germany, tonight is an ignoble prisoner of the young republic he so thoroughly despised and against the fragile existence of which he has since he retired to his reactionary Bavarian stronghold.
 O O O
 Von Kahr In Charge.
 Ludendorff and Adolph Hitler, who had barricaded themselves in the of flee of the war ministry after the collapse of the attempted coup d'etat engineered by Hitler last night, sur rendered this afternoon to detach- . ment of federal troops which had been ordered out by Dr. von, kahr, the Bavarian dictator, and General Von Lossow, commander of the Ba- Varian reichswher. to lay seize to the building. Previously the Bsvarian government had dispatched an ulti- matum 10 poln Il-uoenuoT1I ana hlt- Ter who is the leader of the Facists in Bavaria, demanding their sur render within one hour.
 There was brief fighting between the reichwehr and the Hitler guards, in which a few men on both sides suffered casualties. Afterward Ludendorff and Hitler emerged from the building and placed themselves at the disposal of General Van Los sow's troops.
 o O O
 Now Political Prisoners.
 The status of Ludendorff and Hit Ter as political prisoners has not yet been defined and for a moment their capture merely marks the physical collapse of Hitler's tragic-comic "putsch," in which the world-famed former quartermaster general of the German army became engulfed.

Next Move Predicted


 LONDON, Nov. 9.-(By Associated d Press.)-Tonights news from Wash ington of the failure of the nego- tiatitns for a reparations conference which was evidently unknown to Chancellor Baldwin when he made his speech at the Guild Hall, will hardly come as a surprise to British official quarters, although they had hoped that France would not push her attitude so far as to endanger the chances of the proposed confer ence of experts
 The question will now arise as to what will fellow from the refusal of the United States to enter a repara- tions discussion. The general view Is that the next step may be a formal request by the American and British governments for payment Of the war debts owed to them by France as a means of bringing economic pres sure and so inducing France to adopt more moderate policy.

HERRICKS' SPEECHI l ACTS AS BOOMRANC
Administration Is DispIeased With His Statement That
 U. s. Would Enter Europe
WASHINGTON BUREAUn
 THE AGE-HERALD ] Washington. D. C., Nov. 9 1

The head of Ambassador Herricl1, the most popular diplomat in the service of the government, is said to be in grave danger. While the White House mail, 1t Is intimated, has con tained many commendatory mes- sages, and statements of agreement with the declaration of the ambas- sador to the effect that America would see its former allies through to the finish, the politicians have quietly whispered into the ear of the executive.
 MT. Herrick, as Is recalled, told the people of France that the situa- ton today is as the situation of 1917, that the American peoplpe, respect ing their ideals and theier sense of national security, are confronted just as they were when it became neces- sarv for the United States tc fight Germany He declared finally that the United states would plough the completed furrow.
 Immediately afterward there was circles. The argument, it was agreed. was unnnsWerable, and the fear was acute that the people of the country would find themselves echoing the opinions of the ambassador, and in- directly criticising the lack of for eign policy of the Harding and Coo lidge administrations. It is said that the politicians, and bitter -enders in the Senate, spoke to the President of the unwisdom If not presumption of the ambassador. It was declared at the White House that the state ment of Herrick was unofficial.
 As result of the situation, regard ed by republicans as highly unfortu- nate because of the approaching cleo tions, it is @ safe statement that Her rick has made himself unpopular with the powers that be. It Is not thought that he will be recalled. It Is predicted, however, that his con nection with the government will be severed in the relatively near future, possibly by resignation.

have said it was the only one that could help Europe, has been low cred in its grave. It will gather dust in the archives of the nations and will be remembered only as the relic which marked the severing of the last tenuous threads, which have held the new world to the old since the days of Versailles.
 Two Worlds Separated.
 So far as any one can peer into the future, the paths of America and Europe have separated. It appears there IS to be no turning back to- ward the fork in the road where the United States rejected the treaty of Versailles.
 Germany is falling apart like a house of cards. France steadily in creases her fence of bayonets. Her taxes and interest on her war debts roll up like a snowball and there are no reparations coming from Ger many This government believes there Xill be none for many years, except by fair, but vigorous over hauling of Germany, fixing of & reasonable separations figure, and allowing Germany an opportunity to pay It. That was the purpose of the Hughes inquiry. It was not designed to let Germany off.

 Two Rig Conditions.
 1. She insisted that the experts should not consider the wisdom of the Ruhr occupation. They could in- vestigate only the resources of the Ruhr, the industrial establishments. plants and productive power of that region; they must not consider the legality of the occupation, the French system of collecting taxes, the guar antees and the agreements with the ;ndustrialists Taken alone, the United States might have found a way to reconcile this limitation.
 2. France insisted that the ex- perts must not look into Germany's capacity to pay beyond the year 1880. This, in the opinion of this govern ment would frustrate the purpose of the inquiry The moratorium will extend almost that long, Hughes be- lieves. Germany by 1880, will hardly have begun paying her reparations and the situation then would be ex- actly where it is today,

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
Motor Accidents often Due I'
 Drivers Becoming Drovsy


 Everyone is alive to the danger Of the drunken motor driver.
 But there is another danger, more insidious. muchi more frequent, of which those who have not them selves driven a car have no knoWl- edge It is the danger of falling asleep at the wheel
 I do not mean by this falling into a deep sleep. I refer to those in stants of inconsistencies" which are so apt to occur at the end of long days driving or after full meal has been eaten.
 The quiet rhythm of the engine, the warmth behind the windscreen, the almost automatic character of the task of driving-these are sopo- rifices which some brains seem un- able to resist. Attention dwindles; the eyes grow heavy,
 The pace of big touring car is such that a single second or this drowsiness may prove fatal.
 Experience has shown that at the very first sign of mental heaViness the driver should stop his car and get out and walk about. Or he should hand over his driving to some other person.
 Personally. have no doubt that regulations will b required in the near future as to the distances which the drivers of public motor vehicles may travel in day. Distances much in excess of one hundred miles im- pose heavy strain.
 Sooner or later that strain leads to sleepiness. and then an accident is almost inevitable.
 The same thing, of course, applies to owner drivers These, however. do not, as rule. attempt very long journeys at stretch.
 If such a long journey must be undertaken heavy meals should be avoided. It is a wise precautlon to eat little until the days drive is over.
 Another safeguard is a companion who will keep up a desultory con i versation. n.-Harley Street in the Con- tinental Edition of the London Mail

Girls Growing Worse As Boys Become Better

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-America' boys are becoming better all the time, while the girls between the ages of 12 and 20 are becom- more wayward, according to Mrs. Nina C. Van Wrinkle, chief of the women's division of the depart ment of police of Washington, D. C., here 10 study police con ditions.
 Gay cabaret life and cheap literature are making the ma jority of American girls unfit to become wives and mothers, Mrs. Van Wrinkle said.
 "Too many women want a ca reer in business, away from home" she asserted. The only career in every girls life should be the developing of a real home."
 Most of the wayward girls who are turned over to police women come from the middle and rich groups of America, she explained, stating that poorer families think more of having a good home than dancing and drinking.

MT. Silver took the position that an American merchant marine was most inn portant part of the farmers program for reducing cost factors and that he would deplore any retreat from the merchant marine position the United States has already obtained in our overseas trade"
