Lee Le CTompte. Contracts recently have been made for purchase of the rabbits. whi i1l be brought from Missour! s re xu-re 18,000 rabibts released year by the State game depart- ment. Efforts to reple h the rabbit supply in the State have been made during the past two years, it was While there is no way of ascertain- ing definitely the total number of rab- bits ed by hunters, investigation Dby the State zame department led to an estimate of more than 500,000 killed last year. Except under espe- cially adverse conditions, which can not be predetermined, the natural progagation of rabibts plus the im- portation, should prevent any lessen- ing in the number of the animals. The State game department will not pay bounties on trapped rabbits as it has been doing for the two previous seasons, During the 1922 and 1923 seasons Mr. Le Compte paid a dollar for each live rabbit pped during the open hunting season and released after the hunting season closed. TURKISH HOMES RESIST GUNPOWDER EXPLOSIONS “So Badly Built That Only Effect Is More Holes,” Suit Witness Says. Correspondence of The Star and New York World. LONDON, December 10.—Turkish builde: ceived a unique testimonlal | to the “excellence” of thelr work | during the hearing of a big damage | t in connection with the great myrna fire of 1 in the British courts It was testified attempts were made to blow up a block of houses to check the progress of the fire, but, 2lthough the gunpower exploded, the liouses were “so badly built that the only effect was to make a few more holes In them.” The suit_was one in which the American Tobacco Company sought to recover from a British insurance company for damage to their prop- during_the evacuation of Smyr- na by the Greeks and its occupation by the Turks. Among the points in pute are whether the fire started ough accident or whether it was the work of Greeks or Turks, or both. Hinging on the decision are a score f similar suits involving over $100,- 00. The suit is likely to last some time, and will doubtless be the subject of numerous appeals.
