Would Point the Way to Proper Ex- penditure of Hunters' License Fund. Connecticut sportsmen arg awak- ening to the necesslity of getting into communication with the state game and fish commission and securing proper expenditure of the big fund ot money which pours yearly inte the treasury of the commission from the sale of hunters' licenses and which has so far brought no good results to the state. For the first two or three years the commission spent frem $10,000 to $20,000 a year of this mon- |ey for Hungarian partridges with which to stock the state covers. Instead of experimenting with these birds to learn whether or not they were adapted to this climate the commission made its purchases in jm- mense quantities, and in" this way wasted many thousands of dollars; for the Hungarian partridges proved to be of no more use than food for the predatory quadrupeds and birds. - The commission continued the pur- chase of these birds long after it was demonstrated to persons of even a lit- tle common sense that the birds were absolutely unfit for this section. Hun- dreds of half-domesticated and dis- eased Hungarian partridges were re- leased in favored sections of the state, and today it believed that not one | of these birds is alive. | State Ornithologist Herbert K. Job failed to persuade the commission to expend even $1.000 a year in experi- mental work for the breeding of quail. Loving Kindness of Bryan.

He said winn in- terviewed Friday afternoon: “I beheve that things are working towards an adjustment of the differences and that it will only be a question of time. T have just been talking with ene of the leading stockholders and directors of the company and am confident that it will be but a matter of bringing a couple of disseating elements together amieably.” President Golden left on the evening express for Boston, Mass., and said that he would keep in close touch with the situation and ieturn @t any moment when his presence w28 neel- “It+is merely a question of wait- ing,” he said.
