KILLING OFF GAME BIRDS.
Cold Storage System Assists in the
Determination of Wild Fowl.

The Audubon society of Missouri calls
attention anew 10 the fact that cold
storage is fastening the determination
of wild animals. Congress has passed a
law regulating the traffic and shipment
OF birds and game, but immense seizures
by government officers show that the
statute is extensively violated.
It is now held by persons who have
given special attention to the subject
that the only sufficient remedy is to pro-
hibit the sale Of all game. 1t has been
ascertained by the Audubon society of
song and insectivorous birds in Missouri
have decreased 90 per cent cent and
game birds over so per cent Last year
one seizure in New York included $4,000
game birds and $1,000 song birds. In
Chicago $4,000 game birds were seized
and a whole car load of quail was cap
tured in Indian Territory Game and
song birds are going fasl and the pro-
position to stop their sale entirely gains
supporters fast.=GIObe- Democrat
