David Pritchard, president of the United Sportsmen a Association, Scran ton, asked that the section prohibiting the sale of squirrels and rabbits killed in this State be stricken out of the bill. Secretary Kalbfus, of the Statt Game Commission, maintained that it is unfair to permit rabbits to be killed in Pennsylvania and sold at a time when the State is importing rabbits for breeding and to stock the preserves. He said that, at present the State is paying for rabbits at the rae of 25 cents each, and if they are permitted to be killed tor commercial purposes the farmer boys and pot-hunting sportsmen slaugh ter them in great numbers and sell them to the hucksters to be sold iu the mar ket for tifteen cents each. The committee decided to retain the section, and under it no rabbits kilted in tilie State can be sold to anybody. The law, however, does not forbid the sale in Pennsylvania of rabbits killed outside of the State. Representatives of the Blooming Grove Park Association, of Pike coun ty, which has large game preserves, ap peared before the committee and asked an amendment permitting the killing of ring-necked pheasants on private preserves all the year round, but could not give satisfactory reasons to the committee why this should be per mitted, and will be heard again. Treasury Money The State Treasury yesterday re ceived $2,100 bonus on increase of capital stock of four minor corpor ations.
