JURY TRIAL

BY international News Service
CHICAGO. May 26.-Russell Scott,
the youth who followed the primrose
path from the position Of a wealthy
and respected Detroit broker, to
the role OF a down.and-out bandit
slayer. was almost happy as he sat
in his cell at the county jail here
today. His high spirits followed
yesterdays victory in the first legal
skirmish with State prosecutors
who seek to hang him for murder.
Scott. recently returned from the
State Hospital for the Insane at
Chester, presented a sad spectacle
as he appeared in the court Of
Judge William ". Brothers. He
was without funds and without
counsel. When Assistant States
Attorneys German and Byrne asked
Judge Brothers to set an immediate
date for Scots execution, the slayer
paled The moose that he had es-
capped four times so narrowly, again
seemed dangling over his head.
But the court DtOckeu the QEDA6-
cutor's move. He ruled that Scott,
who had been sent to Chester after
jury found he had become In
sane since sentenced, could not be
executed until a jury had again
passed on his case. The slayer
was returned here to hang after
a commission of State alienfsts had
declared he had recovered his
sanity.
Just when Scott was rejoicing
over this news. his old attorney,
william Scott Stewart, came in and
announced he would again take
charge of the case. The second
sanity trial was set for next Tues
daY.

HUNTING SEASON
CHANGE ASKED,
STATE AUTHORITIES FEEL
THAT CHANGE Is NEEDED IN
THE DEER SEASON-ONE BUCK
LAW TALKED OF.

Big game hunting in Minnesota
will have a new meaning If the state
legislature needs the advice of fac
ton headed by recognized state
game authorities.
The greatest deer slaughter in the
history of Minnesota occurred this
year when 10000 nimrods bagged
about 10000 does, bucks and fawns,
Charles w. Henke, assistant state
game and fish commissioner, said.
The record killing followed two
wear closed season marked by leg
islative decision to make the season
10 days later, changing the date
from Nov. 1920 TO Nov. 20-3O.
This, according to DR.. Thaddeus
Surbur, chief of the state game
propagation, brought an unprec-
edented number of hunters into the
woods just after the breeding season.
This came at a time when the wary
bucks had "yarded" for the winter
and were hidden in the swamps while
the does and fawn, extremely tame,
remained in the open country and
highlands to fall before a. merclless
fire.
AS a result choice sets of antlers
adjoining the proud heads of vigilant
buck deer were at premium ana
many nonresident hunters who
came from distant states to collect
trophies went home disappointed.
The needed reform, says Doctor
Surber, may be effected by adopt
| ing a one-buck law, advancing the
hunting season a few weeks to the
time when bucks take greater
chances before the rifle, and by
legalizing hunting each year.
His contention is supported by
Carlos Avery, former Minnesota
game commissioner and present vice
president of the American Game
Protective and Game Propagation
association who wrote from his New
York headquarters that the present
deer law seems to be framed In the
| interest of the meat hunters and
not in the interest of sportsmen'
and that the true sportsmen obtains
mo satisfaction in killing the does
and fawns."

This is the second winter an
attempt is being made to keep the

Minnesota open. Last winter the
expenditure for snow fence was
S12S,896 and for snow removal
S168,O96. During the winter OF
1924-25, the State Highway depart
ment spent $4S,316 for snow re-
moval and $76,094 for snow fences
but no attempt was made to KEEP all
roads open. If the present winter
continues as it has started, the cost
of keeping the trunk highways open
may be twice as great as last year
The number of counties IN
Minnesota keeping secondary roads
open is increasing each year, sew,
eral counties have put up snow fence
and bought snow removal equipment
