TO TEST GAME LAW.

The first of the suits to test the
coustitutionality OF the Illinois game
law reached the supreme court Fri
day on writ OF error from Greene
county, The writ was issued at the
instance Of Henry j. Cummins, who
was recently fined s25 and costs for
hunting WITHOUT a license, in a case
brought by Game Warden Frank
Rowden. The suit raises the question
OF the constitutionality of the law on
two points. One is that the law Is in
valid for the reason that 1t under
takes to discriminate between resi-
dents and non-residents; the other
that it undertakes to exempt from the
penalties of the statute the owners Of
farm lands and their tenants, and
therefore violates the provision Of the
constitution which prohibits special
legislation.
