WHY RUFFED GROUSE

Rutland, Jan. 17. H'ito Fish and name
Commissioner H. (!, Thimas of Stowe,
who was In this city to attend the Rut
land County Fish and ilame league bar
quet last night, was to-day Interviewed
as to his opinion of the cause of the
scarcity of ruffed gro'ie In Vermont and
other New Kngland States. Mr. Thomas
does not put much credence in the story
that it Is the cold wet spring ot 19v'
and depredations of foxes which have
killed off the birds for, he contends, we
have always had fo.vs and cold springs
are by no means uncommon In Vermont,
yet no living sportsman can remember
a year "when partridge, were so scarce.
It Is man, Mr. Thomas says, who is
the worst enemy of the partridge and the
pot hunter, who, after his spaniel dog
has treed the birds kills the last one of
a covey, Is responsible for tho scarcity
He predicted that unless very stringent
protection is enforced at once, the grouse
will become extinct us sure as the pa
st-ncer jilg.-on has, He recommended a 21
license for rei'dent aliens nnd u law
prohibiting them carrying a gun during
the closed seas. -i.
Mr. Thoina.- said that the fact that
440 more deer were killed In 1907 tnan
during tho pn . mus year did not Indicate
a big increas" nf deer In Vermont for
there were twice ns many hunters In tho
woods. A re. nnl like that recently ie
ported, M0 deer Illegally killed, besides
those legally sHughtered since June 20,
l&oo, 11 soon exti-mln.Uo the deer In
this little State. When the fanners begin
to rczo the Importance of fish am
game preservation and to report
cery violation of the laws then
public sentin.ents will be turned in
the right direction nnd not until then
will Vermont ec proper enforcement of
the fish and tunc laws.

In Wnshlncton.
Washington, D. C. Jan. 19. The fine
rooms of the Washington club at 1710 I
rcet, were the scene of a merry gather
ing of Vermonters on tho evening of
Wednesday. As tho meeting wns two
fold In Its nature, being the annual meet
ing as well as the regular monthly meet
ing, nearly a hundred members were pre
sent. The meeting was presided over by
Edward L. Temple, formerly of Rutland,
Vt., he being the out going president.
After the usual reports of com
mittees, there followed the elec
tion of officers for the ensuing
year. There was some diffidence
In as much as tho work Is rather burden
some. The following officers were elected:
Honorary presidents. Hon. Redfleld Proc
tor, Proctor; Hon. William P. Dillingham,
Watcrbury: Hon. Klttredge Haskins,
Hrattleboro: Hon. Henry A. Wlllnrd,
Westminster: Judge Charles H. Robb,
Bellows Falls; Judge Wendell P. Stafford,
St. Johnsbury; the Rev. Samuel II.

Piouty, Newport.
President, Major Edward R. Campbell
of Rrandon: vice-presidents, Fred O.

St. Johnsbury, Capt. Nelson D. Adams of
Hurllngton: treasurer, Henry T. Offter
dlnger of Montpeller; recording secretary,
Fred C. O'Connell nf Alburgh; corre
sponding secretary. Miss Grace Ros3 of

Hryan of Shoreham; board of directors,
he officers above named, and Capt. O. E.
Craves nf Rutland. Col. P. R. Pock of
liurllngton, F. W. Chllds.
The committees will be appointed by
'he pres'dent nt the next meeting to be
held on the evening of February 11. at
the same place.
After the election of officers the audi
ence were entertained by the following
progiam:
Mr. MeFarlane told s mie 'r.terestlng
'act- regarding India, the lat.d of his
res'denee for 30 years.
The next number wan :nis!c bv violin
and rlnnn. after which Miss Katharine
Mills nf Burlington read Longfellow's
"Sandolphon" In n very pleasing man
ner. After two mnn musical numbers,
the company adjourned to the room be
low where refreshments were served.
The question arose as to tho advis
ability of holding the meetings In less
eomf.irtnble rooms nt a ' mailer cost.
Representative Haskins. with his usual
loyalty to his State, offered to pay one
half the difference if some ono would
Join him. Mr. Graves offered the other
half nnd by the courtesy of these two
good Vermonters the meetings will still
he held In comfortable quarters.
Expressions of regret were henni on
all sides, that there were .ome represen
tative Vermonters In the city who were
not members of the nssocriilnn. Efforts
will be made to put the matter before
all.
It Is said that the people of no State
nre ns clnnnMi ns those r,f Vermont, and
thl fact Is exempllfed by theso hearty
gatherings. Any Vermonter is made to
feel perfectly at home nnd In the coure
of an evening usually finds one or more
relatives among those present. Thero Is
no nurstlnn about the loyalty of all to
the grand old State.

George M. Hessett. representing Wells.

Is In Washington to consult with tho sec

food law.
Members of the Vermont delegation a'
Washington find It dlfllcult to get candi
dates for the appointments to West Point
and Annapolis. The young men of tho
State seem to have lost the martial spirit
of their fathers nnd to have sought the
simple life. Even those who do take the
examinations, show an Insufficient
amount of preparation tor successfully
passing the trst When one considers
that by getting an appointment to cither
of the government schools, a young man
.gets an education and training not to bo

m.-w, charged with tho embezzlement of
S210 from the United States government.
Sampson pleaded not guilty, waived
examination and was held In J1.000 bonds
for the United States district court.
Sampson told a story Thursday morn
ing of n holdup by a masked man who
carried away $.170 of the postofflco funds
nnd the postmaster's watch. Later In the
day Sampson confesscsl before the police
and two United States postofflce marshals
that the story which he told was false,
nnd that ho had given It out to conceal
certain deficiencies In the government
funds which he had had in his possession
as postmaster.
When notified of the robbery. Chief ot
Police L. M. Gauthier of the Hanover
pollco got to work Immediately. After
looking over the situation and Interview
ing Sampson, ho searched tho place,
thinking that tho story was rather
weak.
Early Thursday morning, after work
ing all night, ho found J2?.1 in bills hidden
away In a tin tobacco be.x In the cellar
of the postofflce. United States Pobtofflce
Inspector D. J. Rnpp of Burlington, who
was at Whlto River Junction, arrived
early, and after measuring the triangular
breaks In the window, which wns ten
Inches by twelve, nnd finding no glass
on the inside floor he Interviewed Samp
son and found his story was shaky. After
both he and Chief Gauthier had cross
examined Sampson, tho postmaster ad
mitted that tho story was false and
that he had used the government funds
to pay certain creditors who were press
ing him. The window ho broke with his
elbow.
Sampson was short J2S.1 on his govern
ment receipts and ho made this up
Thursday.
