SMALL CHANGES IN STATE GAME LAWS Official announcement is made by the southern division headquarters office of the sportsmen's "State Fish and Game Commission" in Los Angeles, that Southern California's army of licensed rodsters and gunners may now proceed to plan their vacations under virtually the same fish and game districts, seasons and bag-limits as have governed them the last two years. The most important change made in regulations governing hunters afield after Aug. 18 is repeal of the law that until then permits transporting a lawfully killed buck from an "open district" into or through "game-refuge," or any other district where the old law allowed possession under a form of affidavit sworn to before such venison left the open territory to enter the closed section. The new laws also forbid all killing of squirrels until September, 1925, these pretty and interesting little animals having been decimated by an epidemic of scabbies, or mange, which sadly reduced them on some of the northern forests. Hunters may go by the old game law cards until Aug. 18. Long before the new laws become effective, the Fish and Game Commission expects to receive cards showing the few changes that are of special importance down this way, although forbidding the sale of ducks in the state, bracing-up the laws requiring protection of game fish in streams through screens, etc., forbidding the possession of the so-called "long-gun" oor extension magazine "automatics" of the night-walking market hunter, and several measures of importance to commercial fisheries, were enacted into law. From the point of view of the southern week-end sport seeker, or summer vacationer, there is little to learn in the "new" game laws, which will look like old friends. The only "fly in the ointment" is that deer can not be possessed in the lower counties of fish and game district 4 until SAM HANSEN MUST GO TO SAN QUENTIN Sam Hansen's last chance to escape San Quentin was cut off today, when a remittitur arrived from the District Court of Appeal in Los Angeles, confirming the conviction of Hansen for forgery. The 30 days within which he may appeal to the Supreme Court have expired, C. N. Mozley, Deputy District Attorney, said. Incidentally, it was learned at the county jail today that Hansen's alleged severe illness had been due to a prolonged hunger strike in the course of which he wore himself to a shadow. The physicians declined to remove him from jail, despite pleas of his wife and others. Hansen's case will settle once for all any doubt, which existed in the minds of many attorneys of the country, regarding the legality of using the evidence in other offenses of the same sort, in the case of a given alleged offender, to prove intent. Hansen's attorneys themselves based their appeal in part on this. Says the Appellate Court: "Proof of the fact that the defendant passed or uttered another forged deed under similar conditions establishes a logical inference that guilty knowledge and intent to defraud accompanied the criminal acts otherwise shown which constitute the body of the offense." Hansen's attorneys tried to show that a man named Kinmouth had actually given Hansen a deed to the 20-odd acres at Fairview which Hansen later sold to John McDuffie of Santa Ana, who re-sold it in turn. The land belonged to Thomas Kinmouth of Joplin, Mo., wha has since died.

From the point of view of the southern week-end sport seeker, or summer vacationer, there is little to learn in the "new" game laws, which will look like old friends. The only "fly in the ointment" is that deer can not be possessed in the lower counties of fish and game district 4 until Sept. 16. This affects all south and east of Los Angeles, inclusive of the metropolis. In other words, it will be possible to bring in a lawful buck from Ventura and other "up-coast" counties of fish and game districts 2, 2½ and 3, under the regular form of affidavit, until the night of Aug. 15, under the present law. From then on until Sept. 16, no buck from these districts can be brought into Los Angeles. DECLINE TO CONFIRM ULTIMATUMS SENT (By International News Service) PARIS, July 7.—The foreign office today declined to confirm reports from Berlin that the French and Belgian ambassadors had sent ultimatums to Chancellor Cuno threatening to break off diplomatic relations if the German government does not forthwith disavow the acts of sabotage in the Ruhr. While not denying the truth of the reports, the foreign office statement said Paris has no knowledge of the reported action. It was added, however, that if a disavowal is not immediately made and Belgium withdraws its ambassador from Berlin, similar action will be taken by Franée. The foreign office announced later it has received confirmation from Brussels of the Belgian demands on Cuno. The demands were said to include a public disavowal of the Dulsburg bombing of the Belgian troop train last Saturday and aid in prehending those guilty of the outrage. The alternative under the Belgian demand, was the recall of its ambassador. CLAIM 200 SAILORS DESERT TO U. S. SHIP (By International News Service) LONDON, July 7.—When the U.

She says that she was washing dishes, and her son, who had been sick, was sitting in the front room reading. Their attention was attracted to the front yard of the Thompson home, where it looked like Mrs. Thompson had gone into a swoo and fallen into the arms of her husband. She let out a slight scream, not loud but audible. Thinking the two had been out for a walk and the woman was taken suddenly ill, the boy rushed out and proffered aid to get her into the house. Mrs. Thompson flashed her eyes at him like a cornered tigress, and demanded: "Stop, boy! right where you are. You touch me, and I'll kill you. I don't intend to harm anyone but myself, but if you put your hands on me I'll kill you too!" The boy stopped. Thompson and his wife, who is a very large woman, larger than he, struggled together onto the porch. Thompson calling all the while for someone to take the revolver from her before she killed herself. Evidently at this time Thompson showed no fear that it was he who would be the victim. From the porch he and his wife struggled back almost to the curb, and it was here, according to this eye-witness, that he was shot. The revolver, which was a .38 calibre, made no report, it said. The bullet entered Thomson's abdoman, and lodged against the spine. He staggered but continued the struggle, calling that she had shot him. The shot was fired when he had momentarily lost a grip on her arm. By this time others had arrived on the scene, and the revolver was taken from her by J. H. Rosenberger, whom she fiercely bit on the arm. Thompson staggered towards the car which was sitting by the curb, and fell by the curb. His wife staggered in the same direction, and fell by the running board of the car. Then recovering herself she went into the kitchen, and got a large knife with which she tried to kill herself. The knife was taken from her by L. A. Davis. She went thru a paroxysm of insanity in which she tore her clothes like ribbons, and by the time the police arrived she was almost as limp as a rag. Marshall Eells shot it was she who had been shot.

CHURCH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, July 7—Premier Stanley Baldwin today found the security of his own position and his cabinet threatened by the failure of the Anglo-French negotiations. It was becoming apparent that the prime minister must soon choose between the continuance of his power in English affairs and the continuance of co-operation with France. English opinion is manifesting impatience with which it considers France's procrastination on the Ruhr and reparations problems. In all quarters the demand for a settlement of the question is growing. Thus far it was learned France and England have been able to agree only that the point at issue should be settled by an international commission. The two countries have not been able to agree, however, upon the basis on which the questions involved would be submitted to such a commission. The conversation yesterday between Count D. Saint Aulaire, Frenche ambassador and Lord Curzon, British foreign secretary, is not that to have helped the situation materially. Again the French reply to the British Ruhr questionnaire was oral, altho it was generally expected Poincare had yielded to the many pointed suggestions that a written answer would be more diplomatic and would speed the negotiations. Nor has the situation been helped, in English opinion, by the French premier's speech last night in the chamber of deputies in which he declared there existed "no power, spiritual or temporal" which could swing France from her enforcement of the treaty of Versailles. "Germany," he premier said, "is the only nation in earth that can get France out of the Ruhr, and she can do it by paying the reparation bill." In these declarations is seen Poincare's answer to the English and papal suggestion that Franch with- Studebakers from all over California today won the grand sweepatakes, according to a wire received this afternoon, in the economy run to Huntington Lake.
