    GROUSE HUNTING !
STOPPEDJN STATE
Policy of Game Protection to
Be Followed by Com
mission
Pennsylvania State Game Com
missioners who last week closced all
missioners who last week closed all
hunting of the ruffed grouse for a
year propose to follow up the pro
hibition of shooting of the great game
bird by employing special game pro
tectors during the bird season.
These men will be named for coun
ties whore there are a number of
grouse and where there is ordi
narily hunting by many sportsmen
and will be empowered to make ar
rests or to bring informations. Some
volunteers to help protect the grouse
against illegal or careless hunters
have already been heard of.
This policy to protect the grouse
was determined upon a few days
ago as something with which it was
felt the sportsmen who brought
about the closing of practically all of
the state to grouse would heartily
support. The special men will work
with regular protectors and will be |
on duty from October 20 to Novem
ber 30.
Lehigh and Montour counties have
filed their petitions to be closed to
grouse hunting and are now in
cluded In the list, but the attitude of
some men in York and Adams will
likely prevent any action there with
the result that hunters from any
other part of the state will be free to
hunt grouse in those counties. Phil
adelphia and Delaware will not be
included as they have no grouse.
Steps to propagate the grouse
are being taken and it is
hoped to buy some of the birds as
will be done with pheasants and
quail. However, other states are on
the same trail.
The western half of the state has
been pretty thoroughly closed to
quail hunting this fall, some of the
counties being closed for two years,
but there will be good quail hunting
in eastern counties, where the win

17 Killed and 30 Injured
in Railroad Collision
Jackson, Mich., July 22.—Seven
teen persons were killed and thirty
others injured, many seriously,
when a Detroit-bound limited pas
senger car and a westbound freight
car collided, headon one mile west of
Chelsea at 8.30 o'clock Saturday
night.
Six of the dead were soldiers en
route to Detroit from Camp Custer.
Several men and women civilians are
included among the dead.
The collision occurred on a
straight stretch of the line and was
due. according to unofficial state
ments, to a confusion of signals.
The limited is said to have left Jack
son seven minutes late and was trav

demolished.
Estates of Murdered Czar
Declared Forfeit to Soviets
Amsterdam, July 22.—A1l the
property of the former Emperor, his
wife, and his mother, as well as all\
other members of - the lmperlol
house, has hen forfeited to the Rus
sian Republic, according to a Mos
sow message received here. This in
cludes deposits in foreign banks to
the credit of the members of the
imperial family. A decree to that
effect was issued by the Bolshevist
government on July 17, it is said.
In reporting the death of the for
mer Emperor, the Moscox Bjedneta
says:
"By order of the Revolutionary
Council of the People, the bloody
Czar has happily died. Vive the red
terror!"
Quentin Roosevelt Buried
With Honors of War
Amsterdam, July 22.—The death
of Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt is
confirmed by a Wolff Bureau mes
sage from the front, according to a
Berlin dispatch received hefe. The
message adds young Roosevelt was
burled with military honors by the
Germans. The story of the fatal en
counter, as told by the Wolff Bureau
correspondent, follows:
"On Sunday, July 14, an American
squadron of twelve battleplanes was
trying to break through the German
defense over the Marne.. In the vio
lent combat which ensued with seven
German machines, one American
aviator •stubbornly made repeated
attacks. This culminated in a duel
between him And a German non
corr.misioned officer, who, after a
short fight, succeeded in getting
good aim at his brave but inexperi
enced opponent, whose machine
feli after a few shots near the village
of Chambray, ten kilometers north
of the Marne.
' His pocketcase showed him to be
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, of the
aviation section of the United States
Army. The personal belongings of
the fallen airman are being carefully
kept, with a view of sending them
to his relatives. The earthly remains
of the brave young airman were
buried with military honors by Ger
man airmen near Chambray at the
spot where he fell."
Austria Facing Worst
Food Crisis in History
Berne, Via London, July 22. —The
most critical food situation yet ex
perienced is now faced by jfustria.
Bakers are demanding tin Increase
in the price of bread to twenty
cents a loaf. Flour is unobtainable
at any price and it has been impos
sible to obtain vegetables in the big
cities since June 15.
The Austrian food situation is
worse than that in hunger-stricken
Turkey, declares the Vorwaerts.
HARRISBtJRG, TELEGRAPH
MAY INQUIRE INTO
STREET CAR FARES
Public Service Commission
Maintains That Right De
spite Franchise Regulations
The Public Ser-
V. \ \ ® //J vice Commission
\\W ' n an exhaustive
y\\\\A opinion written
? Chairman W.
D. B. Ainey, holds
that it has au
\ thorlty to inquire,
I jtimtititjetofl into rcasonable
i neBS of a rate of
- faro a Btreet
railway company
even though the
fare may be fixed in a franchise or
dinance. This opinion, which was
rendered in the complaint of the
borough of Wilkinsburg that the in
crease in the rate of fares by the
Pittsburgh Railways Company was
against an ordinance giving right to
construct and maintain a trolley line
through the town, means that the
commission takes jurisdiction In
such cases, of which a number r.re
pending from various parts of the
state. Commissioner Michael J.
Ryan has tiled an opinion dissenting
from the finding of his colleagues.
The Wilkinsburg case attracted
much attention and it was generally
accepted as a test. An opinion was
given recently by Attorney General
Brown that the commission had au
thority to authorize a street railway
company to increase fares nothwlth
• standing the fact that the rate was
specified by local authorities in
granting the franchise. Mr. Ainey
holds it is the specific duty of the
commission to inquire into rates
when tljeir reasonableness is ques
tioned while Mr. Ryan holds that the
commission can not override local
authorities.
Fry Gets a Treat—Howard W. Fry,
chief clerk of the State Highway
Department left Saturday morning
for a three-weeks' vacation, which
will be the first he has taken in the
entire four and a half years that he
has been connected with the depart
| ment. A portion of the time will be
I spent ijt Atlantic coast resorts.
Huntingdon's Record—Every sec
ond-class. township in Huntingdon
county will receive a portion of the
1911 cash road tax bonus, which will
be distributed among them during
the year, having filed all necessary
papers with the Bureau of Township
Highways, of the State Highway De
partment. Statfe Highway Commis
sioner J. Denny O'Neil has certified
amounts totaling $12,227.73 for dis
tribution to the townships, and this
money may be spent by the super
visors for various road and bridge
improvement purposes.
Jefferson county will get sll,-
572.27 having 1284 miles of road and
Laurence county $9,508.40.
The commission in a statement
says:
I "The decision recognizes that
I changes in conditions require
changes in rates and that the rates
I fixed by municipal ordinances, many
lof which are perpetual, may at a
I later date be found to 'be higher than
I the public should be compelled to
. pay, or lower than the company
I should receive in order to maintain
| its property, so as to be able at all
times to render the service to which
the public is entitled. The ability of
the company to make extensions and
improvements is so dependent upon
the return which it is entitled to re
ceive that the regulation of each
much be placed in one body and the
Legislature has designated the Pub
lic Service Commission as this body.
The power of the commission to reg
ulate rates will also result In elimi
nating discriminations which are
bound to exist where rates are fixed
by a number of municipalities, all
served by one street railway system.
The street railway business has so
developed that large numbers of
municipalities are now served by one
company and as each municipality
has imposed fare conditions, design
ed for its parUcular benefit, inevi
table discriminations have arisen be
tween the various localities, and the
only way to remove the same Is to
place the regulation of fares in the
hands of the commission, which can
see to it that justice is done to all."
MUiUameu Paid—The 3,250 men
of the Pennsylvania Reserve Militia
who were in camp for ten days at
Mount Gretna, were paid Saturday
by Chief Clerk Benjamin W. Dem
ming, of the Adjutant General's of

Collecting Data—The state board
of education's special „ committee on
teachers' salaries ,is collecting data
to be embodied in a report to be
made urging the next Legislature to
add 25 per cent, to teachers' sal
aries.
Many Compliments—Adjutant Gen
eral Beary is receiving many compli
ments to-day upon the appearance
of the Pennsylvania Reserve Militia
during Oie first encampment. Exper
enced officers say that the men show
up very well In comparison with the
old National Guard.

Success of Allies
Astounds Holland
Amsterdam, July 22.—The allied
victory has created a deep impres
sion throughout Holland.
The Telegraaf says that anything
is possible; that the capture of 400
gun| will fill the Germans with con
sternation. The Handelsblad says
the double Franco-American success
revives French courage and inspires
the Americans, whose young army
has proved that it is capable of vig
orously tackling the Germans.
The greatest importance of the
victory, according to the Nieuws van
den Dag. is the scoring of a tactical
and strategical success against the'
German commanders. Even it the
Germans recover their advantageous
position, the paper says, the fact re
mains that the spell of the German
army commands Is broken.
The Tljd emphasizes the great
strategical advantages achieved by
General Foch within a few hours.

The German Is an Overrated False Advertiser, as
History Shows
THERE was published in the In
dianapolis News some months
ago a striking article from the
pen of Townos R. Leigh in which ho
turns he light on the German brain
or lack of it, as follows:
During the last few months I
have heard the Germans arraigned
as blatant, boorish, barbaric, yet in
nearly every case the speakers suf
fixed to their invectives such an ex
pression as: 'But when it comes to
brains you will have to hand it to
mem; they have made science.'

"The greatest thing that Germany
has done is to falsely advertise her-

as early as 1857 demonstrated a con
