WAY OUT FOR Mr.. LINCOLN.
Executive Council Suggests He Dor

Executive Council Suggests He Bor.
row Money.
Des Moines. April State Fish
and Game Warden George A. Lincoln
appeared before the executive council
yesterday afternoon and Desought per-
mission to use part of the proyiden-
tial contigent fund to help him out
of the dilemma in which he was left
by the forgetfulness of the senate in
failing to appropriate for the fish and
game commission. The council re.
fused him this permission, the ground
taken being that the contingency was
not such a one as would properly call
for use of moneys from this fund. In
the course Of yesterday Mr.. Lincoln
talked the matter over with the mem.
bers of the council, in the effort to
find some way out of the dlG1culty. In
this he was at least partly success.
full.
The plan favored by the council to
enable the fish and game commission
work to proceed is for Mr.. Lincoln to
obtain a loan of money from some
person interested in the work of the
commission, with the understanding
the council will recommend to the
next legislature that an approximation
be made to repay the sum so obtained.
Mr.. Lincoln says there are plenty Of
sources whence the money can be,
obtained, as there is widespread inter.
est in the work Of the fish and game
commission throughout the state.
