Game Laws.

A recent meeting OF the executive
committee of the Maryland State
Game and Fish Protective Associa-
tion held in Baltimore resulted in
the in the Endorsement of three bills
affecting the game laws of the State,
to be introduced at the present ses-
sion of the Legislature. These bills
call for some radical changes in the
general game law. The essential
features OF the game and game war
den bills are as follows:
GENERAL GAME Law.
All residents of the State who de-
sire TO shoot game shall be required
to take out license, paying 81 for the
license and % cents to the clerk of
the court of the county as a fee. Non
residents are required to pay SO
and 30 cents fee to the clerk of the
court. No gunner is allowed to kill
more than 10 quail or 100 reedbirds
on any one day.
The open season for quail and rab-
bit is 10 be from November to jan
uary /. For other game it remains
as in the present law. IL is unlaw-
full TO kill birds or game when the
ground is covered with snow, on
election day or on Sunday, or to have
any game in ones possession on
those days.
No game shall be killed except
with a gun which is habitually raised
at arms length from the shoulder,
and no game is to be killed one hour
after sunset or one hour before sun.
rise. No ferrets or weasels are to
be used in hunting, and dogs unac-
companied by the owner found pur-
suing game may be killed by any
person.
The clause in the former bill pro-
hibiting the importation Of game into
this State or Offering it for sale dur
ing the open season was stricken
out, and the bill now merely pro-
hibits the expectation of game from
the State.
GAME-wARDEN BILL.
Five citizens of the State, no two
Of whom are to be from the same
county, are to be appointed by the
Governor, and to be known as the
Board of Game Commissioners. The
presiden. of the Board, also to be
selected by the Governor, will serve
in the same capacity as heretofore
has the State Game Warden.
The duties of the Board are de-
fined. and it is given Jurisdiction
over all matters relating to the pre-
servation of game, and to report an
nually 10 the Governor. The board
is given authority to appoint such
other deputies as may be necessary,
not to exceed 10 from any county and
30 frora Baltimore city.
