Ask Hunters
Aid in Probe of
Partridge Disease

October 1st opens the season on
partridge and woodcock. The De
partment of Inland Fisheries and
Game will be very glad to have the
co cooperation of sportsmen in the in
vestigation of alleged disease among
partridge.
Hunters are requested to send in
specimens of partridge found dead,
or any shot, which appear to be dis
eased, to Prof. Alfred o. Gross,
Bowdoin College Brunswick, Maine,
for Investigation. The greatest diff
ficulty in this investigation in Maine
in the past has been to obtain
specimens, therefore cooperation
with the Department and the New
England Association in this investi-
cation is earnestly requested. A
sheet of instructions is being sent to
agents who are issuing hunting
licenses to be delivered to hunters,
also to guides and to individual
hunters whose licenses are issued at
the Department with a view of
securing, if possible, more speci-
mems than were obtained last sea-
son.

HOUSE VOTES TO INSPECT

Passes Taber Bill Designed Chiefly
to Regulate Supply From
Canada,

The Taber bill to regulate importa-
ton of milk from foreign countries
was passed by the House yesterday
without a record vote and sent to the
Senate.
The legislation was championed by
members from rural districts in New
York, who contended that Canadian
milk, imported In large quantities,
did not comply with the rigid sanitary
and nutritive requirements for do
nestle milk.
Several members from New York
City fought the bill. declaring 1t was
an invasion of State rights and was
intended to curtail Canadian ship
ments, which were needed in the big
cities of the Northeast. A motion to
recOmmit the measure to the agricul-
ture committee was defeated, 70 to
206.
The bill would require Federal in

which it was produced

new YORK BEGINS
WAR ON CRIMINALS
New Laws Effective Today
Expected to Cut HabituaI
/ Wrong-Doing to Bone.

ALBANY, N. Y. July New York
State today began an intensive cam
paign against crime within it's
borders.
New laws, aimed to make the path
of the transgressor" more difficult,
which became effective today. are
looked upon as important steps In
determination to keep crime at a
minimum, but they are only a be-
ginning. The State crime commission
is continuing its studies, begun last
year, to find grounds for further
legislative recommendations
The new laws are based upon the
Recommendations of a joint legislative
committee, headed by Senator Caleb
H. BaumeS of Orange County, which
made a study of crime and the State
penal laws. They will have the effect
of generally tightening up anti-crime
regulations Bail, trial, sentencing
and Imprisonment all are affected and
the hardened criminal. according to
supporters of the new statutes, Will
find 1t increasingly difficult to com
init crime and so free.
The most stringent application of
new penalties is in those attached to
the commission of felonieS. Those
responsible for the campaign against
crime claim that such a law as that
requiring a judge to sentence a de-
PENDANT convicted of burglary or rob-
berry to life Imprisonment where the
records show the defendant has been
previously convicted three times. will
in effect deal a death blow to organized
crime. Habitual crime will not be
worth while. it is claimed, when the
habitual criminal is faced with almost
certain life imprisonment.
An apparent anomaly among the
crime laws is in that relating to
gambling. Instead of making the
punishment more severe for that
offense, the new law reduced the
penalties. 1t was explained that this
was for the purpose Of making con-
victions easier.
