LOS ANGELES SPORTSMEN
GET NEVADA DUCK POND

1t took the sportsmen of Los
Angeles to realize the location of
the. best wild duck and geese re-
serve on the Pacific coast when they
decided to 'locate" and improve
Alkali lake, Is miles from Tonopah
and IL miles from Goldfield, says
the Tonopah Bonanza. This lake
is about IL miles wide and nine
miles long. During the winter sea-
son it is covered by about two feet
of water and thousands of wild
ducks and geese stop on their mi
gratory flights from the north to
south, to feed. There are millions
of insects, resembling the shrimp
that arise from the bed of the lake
as soon as it becomes covered with
water, and it is upon these insects
that the wild fowl feed and grow
fat.
A Los Angeles gun club has just
shipped a carload of galvanized tin
scows, about 3 1-2 feet wide by 10
feet long, and racks for the sides
in which dry tules are stood up
right and made blind. The scows,
81 in number, will be anchored and
the members of the gun club and
their invited quests will await the
birds as they fly over the lake
waters. Four portable club houses
are being erected for members and
guests. The scows and houses were
brought in on the T. & T., and de-
livered by the T. & G. at Klondike
from where they were rushed by
trucks to the southern end of the
lake. The new gun club head
quarters is to be known as Vista
Oasis"
Twenty galvanized row boats to
convey the hunters to the blinds
were in the three-carload shipment
of the new gun club.
1t surely seems that outsiders
are gobbling up all the goodies"
in Nevada and our people continue
to slumber. Alkali lake is destined
to become the hunting reserve of
the west. What is southern Ne
vada's loss is CALIFORNIA; gain.
Parties arriving from the lake esti-
mate 10000 ducks upon its waters.

IRISH DAHL MEETS
 IN FIRST SESSION
Today Ushers in What Will Be a
 Long Term

By The Assesisted Press
 Dublin, Sept, is,-fhs new pai meets for the first time today, initist' iinE what is Eeherally expected to be prolonged session,
 The swearing in Of the recently elected representatives has been In progress during the past two days The oath has been taken in private before the clerk Of the house, in ae- eordins witht an arraignment made at the last session to avoid the possir bility of unpleasant incidents on the floor should any members refuse to subscribe to the pledge of allegiance to the head Of the British empire as stipulated by the treaty.
 No protests have been raised and all has gone elong smoothly. but no re- publicans have presented themselves for the ceremony. All of De Nalera's followers are maintaing their deter- imitation never to swear fealty to "a foreign king"
 They are equally firm in declaring their intention of ignoring the Dali.
 "Thirty-three of our leaders. elected by the people. are held fin jail by our political opponents and we mean to devote ourselves to agitating for their release" was the statement made by one republican spokesman yesterday.
 With the republicans thus elirninat- cd no one expected any dramatic oc- currence at the opening session, the agenda for which was confined to the announcement of the names of the members returned and the election of the speaker and the president of the executive council.
 The consensus of opinion was that Michael Hayes and William Cosgrove. respectively, the previous holders of these offices would be reelected.
 It was understood beforehand that when this formal business was dispos- cd of, the house would adjourn until tomorrow or next week.
 It was expected that Gov. General Healy of the Irish Free State would attend the opening session to deliver an official speech detailing the gov ernment's program. Belief was ex- pressed in political quarters that the posts would be allotted to the men who held those offices under the last Dail, except perhaps that President Cosgrove would relinquish the ministry of finance.

MINERS BACK AT WORK
15s, ,ooO Resume Operations Getting Out Coal After Layoff Of More 1hnn Two Weeks.

Scranton, Pa. Sept. 19.-- After an idleness of more than two weeks, due to the suspension order of their union leaders, the 155.o00 mine workers in the anthracite region resumed work today. The now wage scale covering q period of two years from septem- Ter i, and embodying the terms of the Harrisburg agreement submitted by Governor Pinchot, formally was rati- fled by the tri-district convention of the United Mine Workers on Monday and the suspension order officially lifted.
 The new scale includes 10 per cent increase in wages, an eight hour day, recognition of the union and the principles of collective bargaining. Union leaders said that large output this winter was assured, although it was not expected that normal produc- ton would be restored for several days.
 Operating officials said that the mines generally were in excellent con- dition. Tools of the workers and the mine mules were lowered into the un- lerground workings yesterday and thousands of men were waiting at the mouths of the mines when the whis- lies blew this morning for resump- jon of operations.

PREMIERS IN SESSION
Baldwin And Poincare To Meet Today To Go Over The Whole Preparations Question.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, Sept. 19.--1he meeting today between Premier Poincare and Prime Minister Baldwin of Great Britain loomed as most important event.
 Indications pointed to full dis cussion of the separations question owing to the presence here of Sir William Tyrrell, MT. Baldwin's right hand man in Downing street and to the fact that M. Camerlynck, the off,- cial French interpreter was especially summoned from Geneva for the occa- sion. Although Premier Poincare's commsnd of English is very fluent he does not desire to trust it in a tech. nical discussion of the problems di. Wding the French and British po,icies
 Prime Minister Baldwin was sched. uled to pay courtesy visit to Premier Poincare at the foreign office this morning, after which the head of thc French cabinet was to attend a lunch. eon given by Mir. Baldwin at the Brit sh embassy.

FEMALE CHARMS BAD
 FOR COURT JUSTICE.
Jurors Said to Succumb to
 WOman's Wil6

Boston. Sept. ls.-''Beautiful, well dressed women. even though they be adventuresses. find favor with turies or men"
 Shabby. unattraotivs women make no appeal to them"
 These two statements made today before the special commission on jury report al a public hearing at the State House by Miss Florence H. Luneomb of the League Of Women Voters elicit. cd strong protest from several nem- bers of the commission.
 Don't you give men credit for de- elding cases on the faets7" questioned former-state Treasurer Fredrick w. Mansfield. n member of the commis. sion.
 In reply to this. Miss Luscomb said, "only insofar as they can sec and understand tho fact. There is an old saying that no man understands . woman"
 Miss Luscomb pleaded with the com mission to report in favor of extending the jury service to women. Asked by Mir. Mansfield what kind of jury she would prefer to be tried by, Miss Lus- comb said:
 "I think 1t would be fairer to be tried by n mixed jury. If this were im- possible l would rather be tried by a jury of women than of men, who do not understand women"
 Compulsory jury service for all wo- men, with the exception of nurses. those attending members of their own families who are sick and mothers or legal guardians of children under IF was advocated by her.
 To the objection that women jurors would frequently be compelled to listen to unsayory testimony. Miss Lusi comb replied that such testimony IS seldom offered in civil suits and not in criminal trials, except | for murder. Of the latter. she said there were but 14 in the State last year,
