Stan Correspondence Evening Journal
/ DOVER, April 1.-The Delaware
Game Protective Association wants
the present game law left as II is. Its
members feel that 1t is the result of
many years experience, and that ali
the fruits of such experience should
not be lost by hasty and radical legis-
lation. William Baxter A. d. Poole
and Danforth Bush were here yester-
day In compliance with the written re-
quest of Representative Johnson, who
stated that some Sussex county men
would be here to talk the matter over
with them When they got here they
found no one on the other side, and
contented themselves with urging the
members of the House Committee on
Fish, Oysters and Game not to make
favorable report ON any bill which
amended the law as it stands to-day.
TALKING FOR TEN THOUSAND
The bill providing $4,000 a year for
the maintenance of the National Guard
