ltosohurg, Ore., July 14. That
the closed season during the months
of December, January, February and
(March, established toy law at the
last sesalon or the Oregon legislature,
does not Imr book and line fishing
during that period la the welcome
announcement made by State Gamej
Warden Xrl P. Shoemaker, whoj
waa In tRoseburg for a 'brief period
today on his way to i.Marsh field.
'The closed seaaon law ha been
misunderstood by anglers generally
through the state," aald Mr. Shoe
maker, "and this misunderstanding
Is duo to the fact that little or no
attention has tteen paid to the dis
tinction made by the legislature be
tween fish that are cjassed aa sa
mon and those designated aa trout.
'Salmon trout, aa they are called,
the land-locked stunted Chinook com
monly known aa 'Jack salmon,' and
that greatest delight of all Oregon
anglers the ateethead are not af
fected by (be closed season law.
These three species of game fish are
classed as salmon, and they may be
caught the year round with hook and
line "without legal Interruption.
"The closed eeakon law does ap
ply, however, to all other species or
game fish, such as the rainbow, cut
throat, redslde and black spotted
river trout. In fact all trout so cal
ledexcept such ftah aa are not
classed toy law aa salmon."
When suiked regarding the pheas
ant farms, recently purchased by the
state, Mr. Shoemaker said that the
two farms consist of 18 acres neat
CorvalUa, and 48 acres near Eu
gene. '
'Because the Chinese pheasant,
once so plentiful throughout western
Oregon, are now rapidly being-hunt
ed out until there ate only a few left
the farms were 'purchased with the
idea of raising the Iblrds and liber
ating them at the right seaaon of
the year. (For every ben liberated
In the spring," says the same war
den, "we can safely count on eight
young pheasants hatched. . Thla will
give the sportsmen ,000 young for
every 1,000 birds liberated. By the
old method," explained Mr.
maker, "whereby the birds were lib
erated In the rail, a great loas re
sulted from shooting, from the hard
winters Oregon sometimes suffers
and from their natural, enemies. If
this method still prevailed a closed
season would be Imperative."
By the present method or liberat
ing the birds in the spring for every
3.000 liberated, or 1.000 pairs. 8.000
'birds can be counted on which, with
the old ones, will mean 10,000 birds
each season. '

WILSON PROVOKED
BY INVESTIGATION
.Never Forgives and Is "Sore' at Xe
Hnuka Senator; Peace Treaty
Leak Stirs Washington
-
Washington, July 14. tAll or the
scandals laid bare by committees in
vestigating the war and other gov
ernment activities during the war
period, and all or the partisan bick
erings over the main question of the
league or nations have been put aside
to give political Washington an op
portunity to dlecnss the startling dis
closure of the break between Presi
dent Wilson and Senator Girbert M.
Hitchcock of Nebraska.
This sensational development has
been freely cited as one more evi
dence that Woodrow "Wilson never
forgives. However, those who would
believe that the cause of the presi
dent's displacement of Mtehock
the league or nations leader in the
senate dates back to a time before
tba war, when the Nebraska senator
waa opposing the federal reserve bill
and some other administration meas
ures, are mistaken. The cause of Mr.
Wilson's displeasure la more recent
than that. - ' v
It was In hla sincere teal and bis
Indefatigable effort to help the presi
dent put through the league or na
tions program that Senator Hitch
cock incurred Mr. Wilson's displeas
ure. Members of the cabinet and
other appointees of the president
majy blunder aa much as they like
and their Jobs are In no danger so
long as their blunder do not em
ibaraas any of the personal plana of
Mr. Wilson. Tola lias been shown
conclusively, in his attitude toward
Postm hater-General , Burleson and
Secretary of War Newton D. iBaker,
condemned many times by the pub
lic, but retained In office because
their blunders were nothing that
gave personal offense to their chief.
On the other hand, former Secretary
of War Llndley Ttf. Garrison got
crossed on some of afr. IWlleon's own
plans relative to the army reorgan
ization and his tenure of office last
ed only a Jew hours thereafter. Sen
ator Hitchcock's mistake appears to
hs,Ve been 'In forcing an Investiga
tion of the treaty leak sometime ago.
No purpose of the president could
be served by sucb an investigation.
The result of the Investigation was
to IhumtMate the president and the
other members of the peace com
mission fey exposing the fact that
the treaty was delivered to, New
York financial interests by a mem-
ber or those same Interests who had
obtained it from Thomas Lament,
of J. iP. (Morgan ft Co.. one of the
chief financial advisers of the Amer
ican ,peace commission.
The Una of communication be
tween Mr. Wilson and Senator Hitch
cock Is ibelleved to have been cut at
about that time, and then the presi
dent waa further wrought up a tew
days ago w,hea he read In a news
paper tht the Nebraska senator had
shown hesitation at approving the
separate treaty with France. . .

Chicago, July 14. An audience'
of 60,000 persons, it waa estimated,
Sunday heard Bamonn da Valera,
"president of the Irish republic" ap
peal for aid and recognition of Irish
Independence, at an open air meet-
ing held at the Chicago National
baseball park.
The crowd was enthusiastic, but
some of tha spectators Indulged la
hissing when the names of President
WHson, Premier Lloyd George and
Sir Bdward Carson, Irish Unionist
leader, were mentioned. Persona
on the speakers' platform, however,,
soon stopped those demonatratlona,
- Mr. De Valera expressed . confi
dence that Americana sympathized
with, the Irish Independence move
ment and hoped that the Americas
government irould recognize "the da
Jura government of Ireland."
Mr. Welsh referred to Premier
Uoyd George as 'Hhe trick mule of
Great BrkaJn" 'whose actions, he
aald, nobody could forecast.
Resolutions that congress be urg
ed to "recognize the Irish republic
aa now established" and to establish
trade relations with Ireland for tha
benefit of 'American commerce and .
labor, and strongly opposing the
league of nations were adopted wKh
enthusiasm. The league, it waa de
clared, would Impair American sov

"world supremacy of tha two rav
maining despotic empires of "tha
