Point and one from Salisbury. The few
seizures of birds at the transfer office
in Greensboro this season. has, deVel-
oped the fact that the prolific field of
WilkeSboro Winston Salem and Mt.
Airy, has sought, by means of the
Norfolk and Western Railway going
from Rural Hall and Walnut Cove to
escape the Greensboro vigilance.
1t is being developed, that not only
some express messengers are aiding in
the matter of fraudulent shipment of
birds out of the State, but there is
evidence that, express packages, never
found by the game warden, turn up
missing in Washington, Richmond,
Baltimore and other cities. The Ship
perS' cannot complain thinking game
WardenS have captured them. EX-
press agents, invariably help the game
wardenS.
Two weeks ago, a deputy game
warden from Greensboro, was put out
of an express car between here. and
Danville, and made to tap the grit
back home. Complaint was made at
headquarters against him at Wash
ington, and local warrants for resist
ing an officer, etc, obtained here. The
matter was compromised at the earn
est solicitation of the express COM
pany, and the weakening of the game
warden by the messenger paying $32
costs, etc.
Postal mail clerks are also charged
with carrying packages of birds in
their cars. Most of them are said TO
be innocent of the violation of a
State law. and a law of the postal
department, but one of them was dis
covered by the game warden here a
months ago. secreting and car
rying a sack of birds in his mail car.
Information being sent to the de-
partment at Washington, resulted in
investigation, and it is said that last
week, the mail clerk in question, lost
his job.
1t all goes to show that the leading
members of railroads, express COM
panies and the national government,
are in sympathy with all efforts to
promote the observance of reasonable
game law regulations.

THIS sToRY's ABOUT DODGE.
But Jerome and Law Clerk are the
Capering Stars of the Scene.

New York, Dec. 23.-Charles F.
Dodge, who is charged with perjury
in connection with the Dodge Morse
divorce tangle, arrived here tonight
on the steamer Lapasas from Calves
ton, and was taken at once to police
headquarters.
Dodge is accused of having com,
mitted perjury IN swearing that he had
never been served with summons in
the suit by which his wife now Mrs.
Charles w. Morse obtained a divorce
and he was brought here as a result
of the decision handed down by the
United States Supreme Court which re-
fused to sustain his appeal from the
decision of the Texas courts ordering
him to this city.
1t was said that during the voyage
Dodge had contracted a severe cold
resulting in bronchitis.
Nathaniel Cohen. Dodge's attorney,
who came with him from Texas SAID
there is no truth in the published
statement that his client is to plead
guilty and give UP the fight.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse are now in
Europe.
Early in the afternoon when the
Lampasas had been sighted. a law
clerk appeared at District Attorneys
office and attempted to serve Mr..

by Dodge's lawyers asking that bail
be fixed at once. Mr.. Jerome refused
to receive the paper. The clerk was
persistent and Mr.. Jerome finally
caught him by the coat, stuffed the
notice under the back of his collar
and put him out of his office. The
clerk then threw the paper through
the open door and left.
In speaking of his action later, Mr..
Jerome said:
Sin the first place Dodge was not
in this county. Besides, he was in the
custody of the United States"
