Old- timers of the frontier days of
America sat around the plush-lob
bies of the-Hotel Pennsylvania to
day, and as official delegates to
the 13 th annual conference of the
American ; Came Protective asso
ciation, listened to the experts tell
how to save 4ucks.
. Ezra' Meeker. 96 years old, sur
vivor of the Oregon Trail, was
one old timer, and John J. Mc-
Dermott of Courtland, N. Yvviee
president of the New York -Fish
and Forest league, claimant of the
old men's fiddlin' contest, -was an
other. ;
Still another was W. A. 'Scotly"
Smith, -of Point Barrow. "Alaska,
Arctic explorer and big game
hunter, who held the record of
coming from the farthest point
north to find out why the game
birds of the country are dying off.
t The' three listened to Dr. E. W.
Nelson, director of the -bureau of
biological Harvey, say that west
era Irrigation methods are drying
up lakes and ponds and depleting
the game supply. He said federal
investigation and control are im
perative steps.
Meeker, the oldest delegate
present, recalled the early days
when game, large and small, filled
the west when .he first made the
Oregon rTrail with, an ox team. It
was scarcer ' when ' he made the
trip later in an automobile, and
a year ago when he flew across
the overland 'route In an airplane,
he hardly saw a fowl.

PARIS, Dec. 7. (AP) Trou
ble is seething over Italy's new
treaty with Albina. Jugo Slavia
is aflame with anger; her foreign
minister. Dr. Ninchitch, resigned
last night as a protest, and the
whole cabinet headed by M. Ous
ounovitch, followed his lead, to
attract the world's attention to
what he has described as the "new
and grave situation," and what is
generally regarded as a serious
danger to central European peace.
Even the League of Nations is
greatly disturbed over these
events, advices from Geneva state,
for Dr. Ninchitch was president of
the last assembly of the league,
and complications of a widespread
nature are feared.
Jugo Slavia is a heavily armed
nation" with an estimated force of
200,000 men. It is feared, too,
that Mussolin's program of ex
pansion and alliances will run
afoul of the "Little Entente",
which in large measure was de
veloped by Ninchitch.
The Jugo Slavs are reported as
regarding the Italo-Albanian al
liance as "disloyalty" to their
country and other Balkan nations
and the Belgrade newspaper Poli
tica prints a3 statement' from aa
unconfirmed source in Scutari that
the pact contains a secret military
clause, whereby Italy undertakes
to go to the defense of the Alban
ian, government if need be.
Official quarters in Paris, how
ever, are without confirmation of
the existenoe of such a clause.

WIRTH FORFEITS 5
DRIVER'S PERMIT
OFFICER EDWARDS ARRESTS
HOI FOR DRIVING CAR -
Man Secured Second License After
First Taken Away,
Hearing Today
George Wlrth apparently
thought the ' judge was only kid
ding him when he took his driv
er's license away for a year fol
lowing -' his conviction on a reck
less driving charge in October, for
George obtained another one for
himself, and went right back to
driving his car.
Last night Officer George Ed
wards, the same man who arrest
ed Wirth early on the morning of
October 1 0 following a pursuit
that ended when Edwards began
shooting, saw him driving a car
in Salem. Remembering that his
license had been suspended, Ed
wards stopped him.
Nothing daunted. Wirth pulled
out another license, made out to
"George Worth" and dated No
vember 13, 1926, just one month
and two days after Wirth's arrest
When asked why he had obtained
the new license, his only answer
was that the judge "had not asked
him for the first one."
Wirth's car ; was taken from
him as bail on a charge of driving
after his license had been suspend
ed, and a hearing , was set for 9
o'clock this morning by Brazier
Small, justice of the peace.
When first arrested, Wfrth had
crashed into a car driven by Lark
Tate, and fled, pursued by Officer
Edwards. He was stopped near
the state penitentiary after a chase
from 21st street, only after Ed
wards began shooting and had
dented his car with a bullet.
Wirth's car still showed the
bullet hole last night, police
stated.
Wirth was held in October on
charges of hit and run driving.
and of driving while intoxicated.
He plead not guilty to the second
charge, but on the first one Jus
tice Small fined him 3100. sen
tenced him to 30 days in the coun
ty jail, and took away his license.
Wirth apparently obtained his
new license as soon as he was re
leased from jail, as It was issued
just a month after his sentence.
