DECEMBER 21, 1912. C ENDORSE CHANGE IN GAME LAWS ASSOCIATION IN FAVOR At Mi-cling Ust Xislit no Rissontlon Is Heard lYom ITojiowod Changes in I jaws on Grouse ami Deer May lx? From Sept. 1 to Nov. 1 Other 'liaii"cs Discussed. Without a dissenting vote the Uma tilla County Fl.sh and Game association went on record las evening as endors ing the changes in the grouse anil deer law proposed by the state boarj of fish and game commissioners. The changes if adopted, will make the open season on grouse and deer from Sept. 1 to Nov. 1. Resolutions were nlso adopted en dorsing the proposals to shorten the duck season, cut down the duck lim it, to place a limit on geese and to for bid the sale of geese except for a limited period. Contrary to expectations there was no opposition at last night's meeting to opening the grouse season two weeks later and closing it a month later than at present. All those pres ent last night who were previously opposed to the change had apparently been brought around to the other way of thinking and when the matter was put to a vote the resolution of en dorsement was carried unanimously. Last night's meeting was the most largely attended of any held in many months nnd by far the most represen. tatlve. The one question which pro voked the most discussion was the proposal to take the protection off of female deer, allowing hunters to kill either sex. The majority of those present, however, were opposed to this change. Its strongest advocate was Frank -Hilbert, the pioneer Camas Prairie rancher He though It would be for the best Interest of the sport to cut the limit down to two or even otie but to allow each hunter to kill the first deer he can find, regardless of sex. Another one of the board's proposed changes which met with favor was the one cutting the deer limit from five to three. Many of those present were In favor of a still greater reduc tion. Just before adjournment a resolu tion strongly endorsing the sta' board of fish and game commission ers for the work done since the cre ation of the bord was adopted amid enthusiastic applause.

ALLEGES THAT FATHER KIDNAPED HIS SON Whether or not a father has the right to kidnap his own son when the parents are not divorced Is a point involved in a case now ap here as the result of the taking away yester day of Freddie Lyons, little pupil at the Hawthorne school, by his father. Fred Lyons, formerly of Pendleton. It appears that for some time past the father an 1 mother of the boy have been estranged but that no le gal action looking to a separation has ever been taken. The mother lives with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam McGregor, at 711 Lilleth street, and has been caring for tho child, who until yesterday was a pupil in tho room of Miss Lecil Evans at the Hawthorne school. Shortly before noon yesterday Ly ons went to the school and applying at the room where the little fellow was studying, asked to see the boy. Ignorant of the fact there was a plot against the little fellow, the teachen allowed the boy to go with the fath er. The father had an auto in wait ing by the school and immediately drove to the depot. It Is the supposl-v tlon that father and son left on No. 17 yesterday for Hillsboro where Ly ons' relatives live. In hopes of forcing the father to give up the custody of the lad, Mrs. Livens and parents have made com plaint to the officers and the question was put up to Deputy District Attor ney Newberry. However, a warrant was refused by Mr. Newberry, who held that since the couple have not been legally separated there is noth ing to justify the warrant. It is un derstood the grandparents of the boy do not propose to give up the fight and declare they will have Freddie Jr., brought back to his rendleton home. Cases Dismissed.
