FISH AND GAME BILLS
The entire time of the Senate yester-
day morning was taken up in the con-
sideration of the fish and game bills which
have been pending since the first week of
the session Senator Layman's game bill
(No. 7D was called up on third reading
In reality the bill is a codifcation of the
existing game laws, the changes being
for the most part slight. yet meeting with
the approval of the sportsmen of the State
who have been made familiar with its pro-
visions. The fact that there are no radi-
cal changes in the bill did not prevent
a very full and spirited discussion how
ever, and for more than an hour there
was a constant interchange of views on
the various amendments offered. Senator
Lindley offered an amendment which
makes 1t unlawful for hunters to enter
upon uncultivated swamp lands without
permission, unless such land is at least
forty rods from cultivated lands. The
amendment was adopted
Section II of the bill provides that hunt
ers may train dogs in the fields during
the closed season: providing that they shall
use blank shells in shooting Senator Gre
gor, In motion TO strike out this section
in it's entirety. contended that this pro-
vision would be but an invitation for
game law violators TO get in their work.
He believed that there would be a class
OF hunters who would avail themselves
OF the opportunity of killing birds out

instead of blanks. Other members coincid-
ed with Senator Gregor'S views on this
point, and while there were one or two
who opposed the proposition to strike out
the section. the motion to amend the
bill prevailed.
One or two other proposed amendments
failed to be adopted, and the bill placed
upon it's passage, but six votes being re-
corded against it.
SENATOR BALLS BILL
The fish bill of Senator Ball (No. A..
which was made a special order for yes
terday morning in connection with Senator
Layman's game BILL came up on second
reading. Like its predecessors it caused
much discussion and there were numerous
amendments proposed. Senator Corr Of
fered the first amendment. He wanted to
make the adjudgment of Imprisonment for
violations of the section prohibiting dyna-
hitting discretionary upon the part of the
trial judge. The bill in it's original form
makes 1t obligatory that the penalty shall
be Imprisonment The amendment was
adopted. An amendment offered by Sem
ator Gard, making it unlawful to use min
now seines over twelve feet in length, was
as drafted allows twenty-foot minnow
seines. Senator Legeman offered as an
amendment an entirely new bill, which was
read, but apparently not fully digested by
the members, as they were unable to grasp
it's full purport on such short notice. This
evident confusion of the two measures
caused Senator Legeman to withdraw his
amendment after some discussion had been
INDUCED in.
Senator Gochenour offered an amendment
which allows hook and line fishing at all
times in the year and il adopted with
out opposition. An amendment of Senator
Wood to strike out the emergency clause
was also adopted without discussion Sen

spears, seines, etc, in both forks of the
White river, from their to the
junction Of these streams in Daviess coun-
ty. The specific purpose of this amend
ment was to exempt these two streams
from the existing fish laws, putting them
in the same class with the Ohio river. The

amendment was adopted. but later on Ser
