I million surplus I beer worry to I PENNSYLVANIA he * HI Protection For Game Has I permitted Big Herds To | Become Menace I By William B. Brown I (INS Staff Correspondent) j Harrisburg. I’m. Oct - * s I lone with 1.000,000 stirplus doe I deer? * . That question is causing tht I r ,, nl ,sylvania game commission a lot I o f worry, not to mention a deluge ot I utters and some thousand proposed I solutions. ' On the basis of careful reports made by game protectors in the deei districts, the game commission de tided early in the year that there are approximately 1.300.000 more does in Pennsylvania than are necessary. The condition arose because almost I sin. e the commission has functioned I ■ the killing of does has been punish I a hi,. with a line of 100 perfectly good I dollars or the same amount of days iin jail- • During the last decade the com mission has carried on a ceaseless campaign urging protection of tin ■ does and pointing the finger of scon I at the men who violated the law. I Hunters Educated Old hunters to whom a deer was a I deer and not a buck, fully antlered, 01 a doc, gradually came over to th< il commission's viewpoint. The huntei who shot a doe came to be looked up ' one as man who would kill a “kinc faced cow" in pasture or dynamite i 'I trout pool. x As a result each year several hun dred thousand hunters searched th' mountains for bucks and permittee the does to escape. A few were kill ed in mistake but not enough to pre vent a steady increase in the female deer population. Good crops and goot deer country seldom go together. As I tne deer multiplied, the farmers suf sered. Reports of damage usually I came'front sections of the state when I heavy crops are scarce and raisin?of food supplies are difficult. Farmers in these sections, became I so insistent in their demands that the I deer population be decreased that the commission opened certain coun ties or sections of them to the iega killing of does. A special license wa: necessary and each hunter was limit I ed to one doe. I At ;he last session of the legislature the commission sponsored a plan I which would have opened practically L, the entire state to the shooting ol does. Organizations ot sportsmen op posed the bill and it failed of pass age. ' Forced To Action Forced (o take action of some kind to urn number of doe, thi commission decided to send expert I marksmen into the deer country anc permit them to kill an unlimitec number of does. As in the case oi does illegally killed, the carcasseswere to be turned over to hospitals The action of the commission im mediately divided the state’s sports men into twe camps. One side favor ed the plan but the other opposed it just as vigorously. Men who hat , never shot a doe decided that if the killing of them was to be put on i slaughter shop basis with the. hos pitais getting the meat, then the fel lows who had been buying hunting licenses for ton years ought to be given the privilege of killing them Part of the opposition was based on an old time hunter's worry that hos Pital staffs and not the patients profited from the meat sent to the * Institutions. o Rapid Progress Being Made on Butler Gymnasium Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 1. — Rapid Progress is being made on the Butler University field house and gymnasium now under construction at Fairview Park, the site to be occupied by the school in the near future. The university is under contract with the Indiana State High School Athletic Association to have the field house completed in time for the annual state basketball z tournament the latter part next March. The high school athletic association has leased the Butler field for this event for the next ten year and undr r the terms of the lease it also has the privilege of holding other athletic events there. In addition to the gymnasium and field house, in which indoor games can he played, he structures now being built at Fairview will include a swimming pool. Work on the stadium, adjoining the field house, has not yet been starved but the plans are well under way and construction is expected to start by October 1. The stadium .

| will seat 25,000 nt the start and can be I enlarged later as may be required. MembSts of the athletic committee visited the (.’university of Michigan last' week to confer’with Coach Fielding H. Yost about the Butler stadium, it being recognized‘that the Michigan stadium is one of the best aranged in I the country. The seating capacity ot the field house will exceed 15,000. — o J HOOVER LEADS IN WESTERN STATES J *■" Secretary Os Commerce Has Edge On Other G. O. P. Presidential Candidates i I Washington. Oct. I.— (UP) —Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover has an edge at this time on hiq competitors for the 1928 Republican presidential delegates from the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions, according to a survey conducted by United Press bureaus. Hoover is considered a favorite son by at least two coast states and has won much favor among citizenry and newspapers because of his advocacy of power and waterways development. Democrats of the area are split into camps either for or against Gov. Al Smith of New York. In 1924 Democrats of the west were almost unanimous for Smith's opponent, William G. McAdoo, and there is still widespread dry sentiment against Smith. The New Work governor, however, has made inroads in Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Washington and has 1 char"e in Colorado and California. The i other Democratic candidates hus far have received scant mention tnd the situation in the party is lescribed by many western leaders is "apathetic.” Republican discussion centers chiefy around Hoover and former Govertor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. Hoover was raised in Salem and Newberg, Ore., and was graduated from Stanford University, California. He has a strong following in both those states. In Oregon, however, considerable sentirhent is reported for the McNary - Haugen farm relief bill which does not coincide with Hoover’s farm relief idea. Lowden favor’d the McNary-Haugen bill and thereore has been much discussed as a orospect. Senator Jones, Republican, Washngton, says he has heard no one but loover mentioned seriously in his state. In Wyoming. Republican editors vent on record by 33 to 2 in favor of Hoover against Lowden, and leaders n Montana, Nevada and Utah have ■omjpented favorably upon the secreary’s candidacy. Tn Arizona his popilarity is not high because of his stand on the Boulder Canyon dam project. but in Nevada, former Governor J. G. Scrugham has published several edi/orials in his Democratic aewspapcr favoring Hoover. Scrugram is a strong personal friend of ‘he commerce chief and is a power n Nevada politics. In Colorado, Senator Phipps be'ieves President Coolidge will be irafted but John R. Coen, state chairnan and leader of the anti-Phipps 'action, and Clarence C. Hamlin, national committeeman, have leaned toward Hoover. w Idaho is expected to pledge to Sender Borah as a favorite son. The Democratic problem*ls similar. Smith may get half of Colorado's 12 convention votes. John T. Barnett, national favors the New York governor while Tom Anoear, state chairman, is understood ‘o be against him. Unless some leading dry candidate ippears, it seems that the majority >f states in this territory may send uninstructed delegates to the convention to oppose Smith and vote for his best opponent. The situation, however, has plenty of time to change the spring primaries, and most of the leaders ire lying low to see what will happen. —o - Swarm Os Bees Picks Chimney For A Hive Huntington, Ind., Oct. 1. — (INS) —There still is a good job open for a chimney sweep in this city, if he cares for that sort of thing.

INDUSTRY HURT BY COAL STRIKE OF SIX MONTHS. Bituminous Districts Os Illinois Have Been Idle Since April 1 By International News Service I Chicago, Oct. 1. —A vast network of industry and commerce has been seriously affeited by the strike of the , bituminous coal miners of Illinois, idle since April 1, experts familiar with the different phases of the shutdown declared here today. According to Andrew T. Murphy, ’ Chicago, editor of The Black Diamond, a coal trade paper, the chief mining towns of Illinois have been ■ the hardest hit. I "Towns like Benton. Herrin, Chris/topher, and Harrisburg are paralyzed | because the miners have exhausted ! their purchasing power," he declared. , "As a matter of fact, about halt of I the Southern Illinois miners have , temporarily gone over to the Kentucky and West Virginia non-unilon fields. Probably 25,000 to 30,000 have emigrated thus. When the Illin- . ois strike is settled, they’ll come back. . Meanwhile they’re not buying at home. Turn To Farming "Lots of those who haven’t emigrated are working on farms near the . mining camps or else are laboring on the railroads. But such work is not steady and many of the men remain idle." Murphy pointed out the effect ot the exhaustion of the miners' purchasing power have been felt by the manufacturer and wholesaler through the dealer. He went so far as to state if the shutdown continues indefinitely it would have a strong depressive reaction on the manufacture of almost all products. Meanwhile, he said, the non-union fields of other states hav e been able,to meet the de- ( mands of the situation sufficiently well so far to prevent any serious change in manufacturing costs. Effect On Railroads The effect of the shutdown on railroads is two-folds, explained B. J Rowe, coal traffic manager of the Illinois Central railroad, as the lines not only serve as commercial carriers are tlteiqselves among the country's chief coat’consumers. I Among the railroad affected by the shut-down in Illinois alone, besides the Illinois Central, are the Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Chicago & Alton, Wabash, Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the Big Four. "During the five months of the shut-down," continued Mr. Rowe, we have ourselves handled more coal from Western Kentucky than we did from both the Illinois and Western Kentucky fields in the same period of 1924, 1925, and 1926.” Rhodes Scholar To Be Chosen On December 10 Bloomington, Ind, Oct. 1. — (INS) —The Indiana Rhodes scholar to Oxford University in England will be chosen in a personal examination on December M, according to an announcement today by Dr. 11. M. Coon, secretary of the state Rhodes scholarship committee. The scholarship carries with it a stipend of approximately l $2,000 a year for three years at Ox- < ford. October 22 is the last date on which j applications may be filed with the In- I diana state committee. It’is expect- I ed that about 30 applicants will com- j pete for this year’s appointment. I No Rhodes scholar was appointed ' from Indiana in 1926. In 1925 E. R. Boiler of Purdue University won the honor and in 1924 Philip Rice of In- I diana University was the lucky appli- j cant. — ' o j Pirate Gold Believed Located By Road Crew ! New Orleans, La, Oct.

PHYSICIAN RAPS | BONE DRY LAW President Os State Medical Association Advocates Medicinal Whiskey Indianapolis, 6t. I.— (UP) The “dangerwis situation" he declared wasi creartid !»\ the modi Inal whiskey prohibitions of the, Wright bone dry law was brought to the attention of' the Indiana Medical Association by its president, Dr. Frank W. Gregor, of Indianapolis. Indiana's ban upon the use of whiskey as a medicine was denounced as “unjust, unnecessary, contrary to public policy, a violation of a basic principle and a direct insult to the medical profession" in an address by Dr. Cregor to more than 1,000 physicians, atten'ing the annual convention of' the association. i Dr. Cn gor ,po int e d out the! High eenth amendment and the Voli stead a:t permit the use of wMSkey i for medicinal purposes if prescribed by a physician, but that the "Wright law forbids its use under any circumstances. "It is a dangerous situation whetfc a law-making body will enac. laws which say a physician shall not employ any remedy, when, according to piis rrinUty and judgment he considers il best for bis patient," Dr. Creg>r continued. “Such law-making body might as well say the physician may not employ ether as an anaesthetic, or morphine as a narcotic.as to say he may not employ whiskey or champagne when his judgment dictates jts use. "It is not sufficient to say that much distress and havßc have been , wrought by spirituous liquors. To take such a position is wholly beside : the question. For the fact remains ' that the physician who would object to stringent regulations would be in as ridiculous a position as the legisJa'or who would say ‘you shall do so.’ Dr. Cregor -declared the medical profession has aided and abetted the government in the regulation of narcotics and may be depended upon tn. aid in the regulation of spirituous liquor. "But physicians resent, the mandate ‘you shall not,” he said. “It is unjust, unnecessary and contrary to public policy, a violation of a basic | principle and a direct insult to our

"When a young married couple flics suit for divorce, the pair should be allowed about half a year to think it over, before coming into court to air their troubles to the world," Judge McMahon declares. “Three times out of five they will I make up and the judge will never i hear of the broken promises and dishes that lead to the parting of I the marital ways. It is really the "cooling oft"’ period in most cases, for tempers die down and common sense and good reason supplant them in the six month period "I wouldn't think of hearing a divorce case before the principles have had half a year to think things over," Judge McMahon concluded, "especialyl where there are children, I find that the cooling off period works miracles.” New7500?000 Spanish Embassy To Be Ready Soon By International News Service Washington.--This is moving month for the Spanish embassy here.
