Tough..Life For Jim Crow.As‘ Novel Attack Is Launched In Saskatchewan
Government Offers Prizes For Banded Pests—Guns Ring Out
By Andy Mcoermott lcentral Press Canadian Writer)
REGINA, Sa£k., June I5-Johnny
as Jim Crow, Saskatchewan's
blic limemy No. 1:
There‘s a price of $500 on his head and other amounts varying from $253 to :1 are offered for his relatives, including his famous moll, Magpie Meg.
Every Saskatchewan citizen, from the 1lttle- boys who use B-B guns to grandpop, and his Indian gun, are to be seen these days, tramp- ing the wheat fields, hunting around bluffs where a. few trees may be found. clambering over barbed wire fences, driving along roads in cars, their eyes all search- ing only one thing—Jim Crow.
With ammunition sales mounting Q a height they never attained be- fore in the “off season’ ’thc gun industry folk are right behind the movement. Wipe out Jim Crow! It rings everywhere.
Why? Because the Saskatchewan government, through Hon. W. F. Kerr, minister of natural resources. has started the biggest sweepstakes of its kind on the American continent. There are $3,500 for Pflnes in this shoot-the-crow carn- paign! Top prize is 8500.
Almost every day in May J. R. Hill. game commissioner, and his Isgtants, journeyed from Regina
to Moose Jaw wild Animal Park where crows, trapped by members of the Saskatchewan Fish and Game League all over the province, are waiting In big pens to be banded and released. By the end of May nearly 500 of the 856 birds needed were to be trapped, sent to tile park for banding. crated and sent to other parts of the province, released. and then shot at.
Already thousands of crows have been killed and the campaign is hardly under way.
Campaign Against Bird
The crew. is carrion bird, and the magpie, his black and--white com- panlon, wage B. ceaseless war on the bird life of the province and for years the game league has been trying to stir up hatred against the birds. They have finally received government support to the extent of $3.500 divided into 856 prizes. Just as many birds will be blinded and released. Shooters will keep the bands until Dec. 1 when the contest closes. An envelope con- taining the list of prizes and num- bers placed opposite and known only to Judge A. E. Bence, K.O.. Battleford, has been placed in I safety dcpcslt box and will not be opened until the closing day.

Old Jim Crow is having a tough time In stchewun, and no Joy- ous singing marks their sojourn in the province. In fact the longer “I?! keep quiet the longer they live for the government has hit upon 3 novel scheme or getting mi of the pests by handing hundreds of them (Left) and letting them. loose J4; be shot It. elch band being worth a prime. Thousarids have sirvcarhr been shot in search of the prize bands. .
not turned in? Department officials just smile. That'il, make a, mag start for next year's campaign,-' they reply.
The band is a. small metal strip that is attached to the left leg of each crow. It takes a keen eye to see it at 30 yards so the govern. merit anticipates plenty of un. banded crows will be shot before the banded birds are found. Game Commissioner Hill and his aides carefully keep check or where the ¢T°W5 3-T9 CBDtui-ed. what band they receive and where they are re- leased When they are shot and the bands turned in the government will have a complete record of migratory habits of the crow, of which little is known. Birds are re- leased in an area entirely unrelated to that wherein they were captured.
Probelm to Trap Crows
Originally announced to get under way May 1, the campaign did not really get under way until near the middle of the month, as trap. ping the crows proved a real prob- lem. The government. through the game league, offered plans of 150 Wpea of traps but results appeared disappointing, To offset the cost of building the traps the government is paying 15 cents for each crow captured. They must then be crated and shipped to the . wild Animal Park for handing. Charges of shipping are collect. ’It has given country lads plenty to do.
It is probable that early in June the birds caught in the northern part of the province will be tagged at Battleford and shipped to the aouthem half for realeese in order of speed up the work of getting 856 birds in the "money" class.
Inspired by Saskatchewan’: cam- paign, Manitoba has poined in on a smaller scale. There $100 is being paid as prize money. It looks like Alberta. home of social Credit, will shortly become a haven for I:/uskshot-shy crows and magples.
Legion Gunman Tells Of Death Plot -
(A. P. By Guardian’: Special Wire)
Dl!7I'ROI'I‘. June 15 — Dayton Dean testified today that N. Ray Markland, former Mayor of nearby Highland Park, complained repeat- edly that he would be ruined pol- itically unless Dean and other Black Legion gunmen succeeded in their persistent efforts to kill the fighting editor of the cmnmuriity iiewspape_r._
Markland is one of 12 men charged with conspiracy to murder Arthur 1". Kingsley, the editor whose newspaper helped defeat him for re-election in 1934.
Dean, the Black Legion’; con- fessed "executioner" in the slaying of Ohsrlcs A. Poole, calmly told a packed courtroom at the examin- ation of 11 of the 12 defendants today of signing in blood an oath with other members to carry out the plot

HALIFAX, N. 5.. June l5—.—Latest report is that the Girl Pat, mys- tery, pirate treasure ship, has been sighted on‘ the coast of French Gul- ana. Police all over the world are on the lookout for her. Said to have been stolen from a North sea fishing flee‘. near Grimsby, Eng- land, this British trawler, with pow- erful Dlesel engines, is thought to have been heading for South Amer- ica and thence up the coast to Canada.
She is also linked, it is stated. with stolen Spanish treasure bur- led on an island somewhere in the Atlantic and guarded by the re- mains of a murdered Spanish sea captain. wherein lies the connec- tion between the treasure (reput- edly on the Salvage Islands) South America, and Canada is just one of the mysteries surrounding this vessel.
The story of the treasure goes back to 1804 when Spain was at war with England. Two ships met on the Atlantic a hundred or so miles oil’ the Spanish coast. one. Cadiz-bound, was flying the span- lsh colors, the other from Holland. They spoke as they pa=sed. For the first time the Spanish captain learned that his country was at war. He also learned that English men-
: of-war strctchedfrom Trafalgar to
Cape Finisicrre, and that a safe passage to Spain on this route was impossible. Rather than let his iI‘€ilSI.II'f‘. valued at approximately 32.000000 then and almost five times as much now, {all into the hands of the British, he decided to turn back. His crew, already in a mutinous state of mind, did not see why they should endure hardships to save the treasure for King Phil- ip, Although the treasure never fell into the hands of the English

neither did it reach Spain.
The crew got their opportunity to mutiny one daybreak when the ship was passing a cluster of is- lands unknown to them and seem- ingly uninhabited. Knives flashed and the captain was murdered on his own deck and the ship fell into the hands of the mutineers. who dropped anchor and set out in small boats with the treasure. on the sand. well above high-water mark. they buried the treasure. placing on top of it the body or the captain.
Their treasure hidden. the mut- ineers went back to the ship in- tending to run it aground on some island and burn it. They succeeded in running aground. but all but two of the crew were killed. Of the two survivors. only one lived to tell the tale of gold. He also died before he could give the exact whereabouts. As he was dying he took a fellow- patient, Christian Cniise, into his confidence.
After keeping the secret to him- self for flvc long years, Cruise ev- entuaily had to tell someone, so he went to the British admiralty. They believed his story and sent a king's ship to the islands with Christian Cruise aboard. when they reached the island it landing party was sent ashore. They dug deeply into the white sands but found nothing. with treach:ol‘us reefs and no safe anchorage oil‘ the islands, and bad weather brewing, they were forced to return to their ship.
The Girl Pat. it is indicated, is on to the Salvages. On April 1 she left her home port and three days later arrived at Dover. Here her engineer went ashore and when he returned she had gone. Next 1'8- ports stated she had arrived at. and left Spain. Oorcubion evidently was her next port-of-call. which sh!) reached. on April 12. After a twelve-day stay in port for rvpairs slated YCP debate, the 20th annual convention of the Investment Deal- ers‘ Association of Canada conven- cd here today.
“'I‘hor<~ is no doubt that the Al- ; berta slturillon is just about the ,most pressing problem we have

J. Ernest savnrd of Montreal. pre-
sident of the Association.
Mr. Savard expected the reduc- “ ton of 50 per cent in interest my- . mcnls on Alberta's $'160.000.000 inublir debt would receive consid- crmblc attention from the '15 dele- yznts-s gathered here for the three- day convention.
