"Never have the sportsmen and con-

strongly and effectively organized;
never have the official agencies of con-

game and fish laws and regulations
more generally supported by public

glance at the game register proves
that the destruction of game that
went on throughout the century just

PERSHING AID
To ARMY SEEN

Advocates Of stronger national
defense policy today are looking
to General John J.. Pershing to
lead a fight against reduced budgets
in the forthcoming Congress.
Both Army and Navy chiefs are
understood to be struggling with an
executive order to trim allowances
and further decrease in the pres
ent strength of the Army and Navy
likely to be caused by the ex-
haustion of supplies left over from
the World War.
Many organizations that backed
the National Defense Act of 1920
are seeking ways and means Of pre-
venting a further disintegration Of
the elaborate structure founded
upon that act.
General Pershing, who evolved
the present scheme OF a standing
army, reinforced by a reserve ready
for war, is said to be deeply dfsap-
pointed at present conditions.

WHIP SALES INDICATE
PASSING OF The HORSE

Horsewhips, instead of straws
can be used to tell which way the
wind is blowing in the Transports
ton industry, judging from a re-
cent report of the United States De-
partment of Commerce which dis
closes a falling off of 5S.5 per cent
in whip production last year as COM
pared with 1923, the last previous
census year. The 1923 production
was valued at $701,2 ,24S as against
1926, 20 for the last year.
This Is one more indication of the
modern trend away from horses and
toward gasoline trucks for long
hauls and electric vehicles for short
haul, frequent stop, delivery service.
There were 10S,036 horse-drawn
vehicles In New York City in 1917
as compared with about $4,000 in
1925.

STOLEN RUG FOUND
 IN DETROIT DEPOT
International Ring Of Art Thieves
 Is Suspected

Detroit, July 2 LP-A kid glove dropped while three men were rob- ping the Detroit Institute of Arts. led to the recovery last night of a $75,- 900 Persian rug and revelation of what the police believe is an inter- national ring of art thieves. The rug, mate to one of the finest pieces in the c. r. Altman collection in the Metropolitan. New York, was q gift 10 the institute from Mir, and Mrs. Edsel Ford, and formerly was in the possession of Lady Ludlow, London, England.
 Paxton Howard. 29-year-old stu dent and commercial artist, who gave his home as Sarnia, Ontario, confessed last night to the theft, after detectives had recovered the rug from the check room of the Michigan Central railroad station with checks found among his eff fleets. When the police entered Towards hotel room, unexpectedlv. after tracing ownership of the glove to him through a cleaners mark,

PREMIER TO
 NULLIFY REGENCY ORDER
He Plans to Invest Queen Marie With Powers Of Regent in
 Event King Dies.

Bucharest, July 2 (P-One of the most important measures contcm- plated by General Fofoza Averesco, who now holds the rcins of power in Rumania, will be to nulljfy the regency created by former Premier Bratiano.
 Ii is his plan to invest Queen Marie with the powers Of a regent in the event Of King Fcrdinand's death
 Patriotic Rumanians all seem 10 believe that inc creation Of Prince Carols four-year-old son, Michael, as crown prince, with Prince Nich- olas, Carols youngest brother and the chief justice of the supreme court and the patriarch Of Rumania forming a regency until the infant Prince Michael becomes of age, is fraught with danger and uncer- tainty.
 It is argued that the present re gency at best would be only DO li,ical instrument in the hands of Bratiano. as it is almost entirely Of his creation. Two Of the members, the patriarch and the chief justice of supreme court, are Bratiano's per sonal appointees. The designation of Queen Marie as regent. it is held, would offset the perils inherent in such regency. as the queen has the whole country behind her. regard less Of political parties, She Is con- sidered much stronger personality than any, or all three, of the pres ent degency. Besides, Ayeresco's supporters argue. she would be q far abIer and moro impartial admin istrator.
 Rumanians at present entertain no anxiety regarding King FerIi- nand's health or the stability of his throne.

June 80 last at $43, S05, los. The saw
ing last year was placed at $S,710,0S3.

be punished, in the ordinary sense of
the word, but restrained for life.
In many cases proper vocational
training of a criminal would give him
the means of raising his standard of
living and would cut down the drive
toward crime.
when a mans inherited capacities
are normal and his training is poor he
should be retrained In the case of a
feeble minded person who finds it easier
to adjust himself to life by petty
thefts than by working eight hours
day, he should be restrained and
segregated for life. In addition, the
feeble minded should be sexually seq
regated to prevent reproduction
among them.
Most important of all to bear in
mind is the fact that each must be
treated individually. There are no
general formulae in dealing with
crimes or with the treatment of Grim
inals. Retaining, for example, must
not be of general character. but speci-
fic and related to the individuals pc
culiar needs. Until we give up treat
