John Kretslnger, the 17-year-old youth who flagged the train and sprung the sensational story, has confessed, It is said. Captain Port had an interview with Kretzinger on his arrival at Dun-cannon early yesterday morning and after a short talk with him came to the conclusion that Kretzinger's story of being held up and the at Friday, October 15, is the day to which the hunters of Altoona and the rest of the state are anxiously awaiting.

On that day the open sea-Bon for quail, -wild turkey and pheasants begins. Quail and wild turkey may be hunted until November 15, and pheasants until December 1. This is the text of the new game laws. Word from ilarrisburg is to the effect that the state game commission is informed that more birds are to be found in Pennsylvania, particularly in the western counties, than lor twenty years. Fayette and Greene counties are said to be especially prolific of quail and many are reported also from parts of Allegheny county.

Turkeys in almost unprecedented numbers are reported from the Allegheny mountain regions. Pheasants and woodcock also are said to be unusually plentiful in parts of the state. The dry weather of the past summer was especially favorable to the CRUSADE STARTED. State Constabulary After Foreigners Who Own Guns. The Pennsylvania state constabulary has started a crusade for the enforcement of an act of assembly passed May 8, 1905, that prohibits all tempt made to wreck the train was all a fake.

Later, It is alleged, the young man confessed that he had concocted the story for the purpose sum of $250,000 to was suggested as the amount to be raised; that the states represented be asked to contribute at least $10,000 and that voluntary subscriptions be also accepted. Andrew Carnegie's name came before the meeting and the suggestion was put forth that he be notified of the movement, in the belief that he might aid the project. The correspondence committee was instructed to communicate with the adjutant generals of the various states which were represented at the meeting to start the ball rolling of gaining notoriety and that possi un-naturalized foreigners in the state from owning or having in their possession any gun or rifle. The move bly the company might reward him for saving the train. He is reported is made for the protection or the to have told the-officers that he had game.

Trooper George Wagner, or placed a pile of stone on the track foreigners from engaging in hunting to wreck the train, then removed game. Trooper ueore waner, 01 troon D. located at Gallitzln, came to the city on Saturday, went before Al derman Leake and secured a search hatching and growing of game Another reason given by the game commission for the increase is that the state 'bounty law in operation for several years past resulted in the' destruction of large numbers of weasles, foxes and other noxious an warrant to search the houses of foreign miners at Glen White.

Kretzinger's act has certainly got him into hot water. He will get some notoriety all right but not the brand that he aimed for. Captain Port has entered prosecution against him on the charge of malicious mischief and will prosecute the case to the full extent of the law.
