THE CITIZEN, FIUDAY, JULY 2J, 1011. CONSERVATION OF CAME IS NOW A PROBLEM Automobile and Aeroplane Used In Hunting. EVERY year the biological survey makes a report covering the progress of game protection In tho United States. The reports mark a steady progress in the move ment for tho Increase of game by prop agation and tho establishment of gamo preserves. This year's report, Just published, is made by T. & Palmer and Henry Oldya They relate that the In creased popularity of tho automobile by huntsmen was marked, and the possibility of utilizing the aeroplane In duck shooting was demonstrated by an experiment in southern California last November. So far as Is known, this was the first attempt made to use the aeroplane in shooting game. Another innovation was frowned upon when a Maine court imposed a fine upon a nonresident for using one of the recently invented silencers on his rifle while out after deer. This was tho first conviction In any court for this new offense. Another important court decision was that of the supreme court of Pennsylvania prohibiting the use of automatic guns. In Pennsyl vania also the law prohibiting tho possession of firearms by aliens was upheld in tho lower courts, and in con sequence tho disarming of aliens has made rapid progress. A count taken by the American Bison society shows a total of 2,108 pure blood buffalo in North America as compared with 1,017 at tho date of tho last census, made in 1003. Of these 1,007 are in captivity in tho Unit-1 cd States, C2C are in captivity in Can ada and 475 are wild. The corre sponding figures for 1003 were 1,110, 470 and 325. Tho decrease in the num ber in the United States was caused by the largo purchases made by the Canadian government. The total num. ber of buffalo has, however, increased by nearly 200. The largest herds in private hands are now those of the Soldiers' Creek park at Bclvldere, Kan.; the remain der of the Pablo herd at Ronnn, Mont.; the Blue Mountain Forest as sociation herd at Newport, N. II.; tho Llllio herd at Pawnee, Okla.; the Phil lips herd at Pierre, S. D., the Good night herd at Goodnight, Tex., and tho Dooley herd on Antelope island, In Great Salt lake. The outlaw buffalo belonging to Michel Pablo, which have thus far defied all attempts at cap ture, are supposed to number about seventy-flvc. It was announced in tho autumn that a hunt would bo organ ized by tho owner of tho herd. The state warden immediately took steps to prevent tho hunt under tho pro visions of nn old Montana law prohib iting the killing of buffalo at any time In the state. Waterfowl and Woods Game. From the gunner's viewpoint tho waterfowl season was not satisfactory last year, but from the standpoint of the game conservationists it seems to have been very favorable. On tho At lantic coast the number of canvas backs and redheads was greater than usual in the Long Island bays and on the Massachusetts coast, but much smaller than usual on the Susquehan na flats and Currituck sound, where these species are usually abundant. Canvasbacks arc reported as numerous and Increasing on Cayuga lake, cen tral New York, where they were very scarce a dozen years ago. Introduced pheasants seem to have neld their own in sections where they have become established and in some instances show an increase. In the region around Buffalo, N. Y., where shooting is permitted for a short sea son in tho fall and where 15,000, It is estimated, were killed in 1008, the stock does not seem to have been di minished. In the Genesee valley and in the region around Canandalgua pheasants have become quite numer ous. In Massachusetts tho birds seem to be holding their own, and tho same is true of Ohio. In no place where, they have been liberated have Hungarian partridges yet becomo fully established, and iu NO MORE SMOKING IN PUBLIC Dr. Wiley Says It Will Soon Bo as Ex tlnot as the Dodo. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the govern ment pure food and drug expert, is now after tho smokers. "I predict that within twelve years smoking and tobacco chowing in pub lic will have becomo obsolete," said Dr. Wiley. "A man has a perfect right to drink, chew or dip snuff in his prlvnto sanctorium, but ho has, not tho shadow of a right to inflict un wholesome smoke on tho community at largo. "There should bo a strictly enforced law prohibiting smoking and chewing in public places or on tho cars where other persons are obliged to be. "OoHego students, a brand of animal that is not noted for daintiness or re gard for tho feelings of others, will crawl under a grand stand to tako o pull from'tho bottlo that curses. Even these fellows will not drink openly so that their fellow citizens con watch them, and tho samo thing will come to pass ns regards tobacco within tho next few years." FOR THE NATION Only a Little More Than 2,000 Buffaloes Left. several regions where large sums have been spent in the attempted acclima tization of these birds they are re ported to have disappeared through climatic or other causes. Other foreign game birds have practically all dis appeared from the regions where they have been liberated. Indiana bought and distributed 8,000 partridges and New Jersey 2,000 par tridges and 4,000 English ringneck pheasants during the year; Missouri arranged for the purchase and distri bution of 4,000 partridges; California liberated 2,400 partridges in thirty-nine counties; Iowa arranged for the pur chase of 5,000 pairs of partridges to be liberated early in 1011; Idaho com pleted tho distribution of 1,090 pheas ants bought in 1001); Louisiana In the fall of 1010 bought 120 pheasants for distribution throughout the state and liberation on the state game preserve in Caldwell parish, and Colorado placed twenty-five pairs of partridges in nine counties and began the distri bution of 2,000 pheasants. Oklahoma and Iowa distributed 20, 070 and 0,205 peasant eggs, respective ly, to farmers for hatching and later liberation of the resulting broods. Iowa also arranged for the purchase and distribution of adult pheasants. South Dakota began an experiment with 200 or 300 pairs of pheasants and a few partridges, and Vermont gave much consideration to restocking the state with pheasants, wild turkeys and Hungarian partridges, the last being regarded less favorably. A few par tridges were turned out by private or ganizations in Now York, and 100 par tridges were planted in Mississippi and Tennessee by an enthusiastic sports man. Eesults of Experiments. It is yet too early to determine the outcome of most of these experimental measures, though negative results ap pear to have followed tho liberation of partridges in New Jersey, Mississippi and Tennessee. During the year, how ever, it has developed that tho plant ing of 1,000 pheasants in Kansas throe or four years ago has been entirely barren of results and that of nearly 10.000 partridges liberated in Connecti cut in 1008 and 1009 about 170 broods remained in tho fall of 1009, which have since diminished and were prob ably finally destroyed by the severe weather of December, 1010. In tho case of the Connecticut partridges, the fact that shooting was prohibited for only one season largely accounts for their disappearance. In Indiana pheasants, which have been introduced for twelvo or thirteen years, have yielded only fair results, while through tho last few years' in troduction of Hungarian partridges there are, according to a recent esti mate, 10,000 of these birds on tho 100 preserves created by contracts with farmers. Pheasants have increased in New Jersey ns tho result of three years' planting, and partridges in Ne braska from 124 pairs put out by the state in 1007 nugmented by $1,000 worth liberated by ranchers early In 1009. Chinese pheasants, introduced in Idaho in 100S nnd 1009, have becomo established wherever fed and other wise cared for. Delaware shows only negative results from 100 pairs of part ridges distributed in 1009. Tho importation of foreign birds and mammals shows a slight increase. One of tho largest itngle shipments ever reported camo into New York from Hamburg in a vessel which brought 11.001 canaries and other nongamo birds in one lot consigned to a New York importer. The chief Importations of mammals were Japaneso dancing mice nnd monkeys of various species. Two mongoose from Havana were de nied admission. The game protection legislation In 1010, though small in laws passed, lncludod several Impor tant acts. Only two retrograde meas ures are noted tho opening of a sea son on robins, blackbirds and gulls in Louisiana and tho permitting of dove shooting in July in Mississippi. WEDDING D0NTS.

Her Visit to Norway Raised the Khnse of the suffraao Question. New York, July 18. The recent Nor wegian trip of the Rev. Anna M. Shaw, president of the Women's Suffrago League in America, has opened a par ty issue In that country which will fig ure in tho next election nnd ultimately be settled by parliament. Dr. Shaw's supporters had hoped that she would be able to help them break down opposition in Norwny to the elevating of women to tho clergy. When Dr. Shnw left Copenhagen the subject woe still being hotly discussed, and it seemed likely that It would be made an issue in the next campaign. Tho opposing faction to Dr. Shaw took the stand that while women may have tho right to vote in Norway they may not hold office in the army, navy or tho church. STEEL PROBE TO NEW YORK.

V w- vx-v n S If, A 1 INDIANS ARE PROGRESSIV Three Tribes Petition For Com mission Government. THEY DO NOT LIKE LAWYERS. Have a Trust Fund of Six Million Dol lars One Indian Wants His People Kept as Far From Gambling and Whisky as the East Is From the West. The affiliated Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indian tribes are not to be outdone by their white brothers and are establishing a commission form of government. This follows the death of Quanah Parker, chief of tho Co manches, to whom a successor may not be elected, though White Parker, his son, had been talked of for the place. Congress will bo asked to np provo tho administration of tribal af fairs by n proposed business commit teo or" commission, composed of nine members four Comanches, three Kio ivas and two Apaches. Tho matter was thoroughly discussed at a coun cil of tho Indians attended by Lieu 'tenant Ernest Stecker, United States Indan agent, and Representatvo Scott Ferris of tho Fifth Oklahoma congres sional district. The commission is to bo comixsed only of young men, active and capable in tribal affairs. For several years, unknown to most of tho Indians, there has been n com mittee or advisory board co-operating with tho Indian agent. Its members were Eschlti, Timbo, Mamsookawat, Comanches; Ahpeahtonc, Lucius Alt san, Klowas, and Apache John and Mizizoomdi, Apaches. Do Loss Lone Wolf, Kiowa, and a graduate of Car lisle, and White Parker, Comanche, are to bo added to the commission. Among the Indians who mado speech es at the council were Comanche Jack, Ahpeahtone, old Chief Lone Wolf of the Klowns nnd Do Loss Lone Wolf. Comanche Jack landed squarely on the lawyers, saying that tho Co manches did not want a legal repre sentative, as tho money for an attor ney's salary was merely wasted. George Hunt, the Kiown interpreter, wanted laws that would keep the In dians apart from gambling nnd whis ky, "as far :ts the east is from tho west" no whacked the Comanches by saying that they were the worst gamblers of all. That tho "commission" idea seems to be a good thing in the administration of tho affairs of these afllllated tribes is indicated by a further proposal to create what is known as a "competen cy" commission, to bo composed of three white business men, chosen by the secretary of tho interior. This plan is in operation among certain other Indian tribes. It Is intended that this competency commission, if authorized, shall pay $10 monthly to each Indian, in addition to what he receives from what is called the "grass lease" fund. This payment among the Klowas, Comanches and Apaches would amount to about $30,000 a month, there being about 3,100 Indians, of whom 1,500 are Comanches. If tho tribal funds In time should show exhaustion tho competen cy commission then would sell eighty acres of each 100 acre allotment to replenish tho fund, leaving a home stead of eighty acres. Representative Ferris Is reported as favoring the scheme. These afllllated Indians havo a total tribal trust fund of 0,000,000, of which $4,500,000 is in the United States treas ury. BLOOD TESTS ON PIKES PEAK Two British Surgeons to Determine Effect of High Altitudes. Dr. J. A. Haldone nnd Dr. Gordon Douglas of Oxford university, who aro to conduct n series of experiments on top of Plko's peak to determine the effect of high altitudes on tho human blood, arrived nt Colorado Springs re cently and are arranging tho compli cated apparatus with which they ex poct to And whether tho number of red corpuscles increases at high alti tudes. They will bo assisted in their exper iments, which will extend over sir weeks, by Dr. Ynmbell Henderson of Ynlo and Dr. E. C. Schneider of Colo rado college. Tho experiments aro be ing mado under tho auspices of the Royal Society For Scientific Research. Last summer Dr. Haldano and Dr. Douglas carried on experiments on tho west coast of Africa, but they wero not satisfactory, aa they could not re main on tho barren peak long enough to make tests of any value. This year it was decided to conduct the testa on Pike's peak because of tho ease with which tho apparatus can bo placed on tho summit by the cog road. After the party finishes work on Plko's peak tests will be mado at Cripple Creek and other high altitudes in Colorado. Girls Will Learn How to Shoot. So that they may learn how to use firearms, girl members of tho Broad Street Park Methodist , Episcopal church of Trenton, N. J., have organ ized tho Girl Rangers' club. Tho Rev. William Stone, the pastor, expects that all will develop into crack shots, ne is to train them in artillery and also to give them instructions In general nrhlatlra. NEW SENATOR Now Governor and Will Not Re sign Till Legislature Adjourns. WAS IN CLEVELAND'S CABINET His Department at That Time Re minded Daniel W. Voorhess of "Marching Through Georgia" How He Played Tag With Joe Brown. Tho election of Governor Hoke Smith as United States senator from Geor gia sends back to AVashlngton a man wno was on interesting figure there sixteen years ago. Ho was then secre tory of the Interior in the cabinet of President Grover Cleveland. In the Georgia delegation they still recall those good old days when Secretary Smith filled every place ho had to fill with Georgians. They say that you couldn't throw a stick in the de partment without hitting a Georgia day, they relate, tho late Sen ator Voorheos, who had been vainly trvina to cot n nlncn fnr nn Tnrtinnn man, came down the corridor as Secre tary smith camo up. The senator was whistling "Marching Through Georgia" in a disconsolate way. That tune was not pleasing to noko Smith's sensitive Georgia ears, and ho looked at Voor hees in a reproachful way. "What' are you whistling that for?" asked Hoke, nnd his tone was hur. dened with reproach. "I just can't heln it" explained Sen- ator Voorheos. "Whenever I come thrOUCh VOUr dennrrmtmt I fepl na If I was marching through Georgia." When Hoke Was Elected Governor.
