BAN ON SALE OF RABBITS
This Section of New Game Code Is
Agreed Upon by Committee
The Game Committee lof the Senate
this morning held a meeting to consider
certain proposed intendments to the
new game code recently passed by the
House.
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.
