Attorney General Sheets holds that the
State Game Warden had no authority to
seize plumage and hat decorations under
the game laws Of the State. His opinion
is that all the department can do is to in
stitute prosecutions against dealers and

troversy. He said bird might be taken

subject to arrest. He holds also that
purchased before the law went
into effect is exempt.
