DUCK HUNTERS ARE ARRESTED State Game Protectors Round Up Men Who Defied Na tion and State Laws First arrests to Dauphin county and Mason° Fitting and Herbert Zimmerman, of Speece ville, have been fined $20.J8 each after a hearing before Alderman C. E. Murray, in this city. The men were caught by Game Protectors John D. Berrier and W. C. Bowman, shooting ducks. Evidence has been secured that other people along the Susquehanna and Juniata have been shooting at wild water fowl and pro tectors are hunting for them with warrants. In 1913 Congress passed a law giving the national Department of Agriculture, right to make regula tions covering migratory birds and it forbids spring shooting of ducks and geese. Considerable dissatis faction prevailed among state sports men as the state law allowed spring shooting and the law was violated. Last year the Legislature made the laws in accord, but this spring the duck hunters have been at it again. Tractors Get Busy—State tractors, which began work in the southern counties this week, will gradually move northward during April and it is probable that they will reach the northern tier about May 1. In the event that the season advances quickly, there may be some shifts in plans and more tractors be sent to that section which is calling for help. Decision will be reached in a few days, whether to increase the number of tractors assigned to west ern counties, because of inquiries which have been coming in. It is likely that ten additional tractors will be ordered next month, which will give the state fifty machines.

Last year $156,850.95 was paid and the year before $152,842.45. t Against 3 Per Cent—The Public Service Commission to-day issued a ruling designating terms upon which it will approve an ordinance be tween the city of Erie and the trac tion companies operating in that municipality. The commission made 3n inquiry into the situation and states that in one Instance it is of the opinion that at the present time it should not indicate that it will ap prove an ordinance, because there does not appear to be necessity for the line, it will approve other lines proposed in the ordinance, but it is also held that the franchise should not be limited to thirty years, and that the requirement of three per cent, earnings to the city should be eliminated "inasmuch as we believe that the proposed extensions are of great benefit to the city as a whole, and should not be made the basis for raising revenue with the conse quent burden which will thus be placed upon the public who use the cars," says the opinion.
