Mr.. Editor,
The Advertiser, Lafayette, La.
Kind Sir:-Will you kindly quote
in your next issue, the law governing
the use Of drag seines in running
streams.
We know as a fact from personal
observation that there is SEEMING be-
ing done on Little Bayou and it is
proposed by several reputable citi-
zens to prosecute the violaters.
This also for the information of
those in authority.
SEEMING in these bayOus is ruinous
to the sport of pole fishing and is
wasteful inasmuch as the banks on
the Bayou are Uttered with small fish
which are rejected by the kindly dis
posed seiners, and is food for hogs in
the vicinity.
To the detection of the parties gull
ty, the cooperation of all lovers of
the true sport Of fishing, is solicited.
Yours very truly,
FISHERMEN.
Act 147 of 1904, says:
Section l. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Louisiana, that it shall be unlawful
for any one to catch or have in their
possession any of the FISH of the fresh
water streams of the State of Louisi-
ana during the closed season, (which
shall be December, January and Feb
ruary), except the ones herein named:
catfish, gar, buffalo, German carp
and gaspargough.
Section 2. Be it further enacted,
etc., that it shall be unlawful for any
one at any time to catch any fish that
inhabit the fresh water streams of this
State in any other manner than rod
and line, except the Ones specially
named in Section l, of this act.
Section 3. Be it further enacted,
etc, that anyone violating the provis-
ions OF this act shall be fined not less
than Ten Dollars (s1O.OO) not more
than Twenty-Five Dollars t$25.OO) for
each violation, or be imprisoned for
not less than ten days nor more than
days in the parish jail for
each violation of said act.

SARATOGA
GAMBLING

Saratoga, -. Y. Aug. 1.-The gambling
element in Saratoga was much dist~ybed
last night by the publicay yon in the Sara
togian of an interview with State SEN
ator Edward p. Bracket. generally
known as counsel for Richard Garfield.
II the saratogian Is not owned by Sem
ator Bracket he at least directs it's policy
II has been the custom or this news
paper 10 avoid any reference 10 gambling
during the Saratoga season. and that Is
why Senator Brackets interview aroused
curiosity as TO the motive that actuated
H.
When Senator Bracket was asked
said:
II can only say that II such n state OF
affairs exists, IL Is up mighty close 10
the village administration TO get into ac-
tion. | am not In the confidence of the
present management OF affairs but Sara
toga shall not degenerate into a mining
camp If any word or work OF mine can
prevent H.
Il don't want 10 be nosing around un-
duly as 20 how our visitors disport them
selves while stopping here. but law is
law, and decency still stands for some
thing.
II know OF no reason in decency or in
the interest OF Saratoga that will permit
every gambler in the country 10 come In
here and violate the law. and II the
officials that are in charge OF the village
affairs have not the self-respect TO see
that the law is decently observed they
should be punished for dereliction OF
duty

MAY HAVE FALLEN OUT.

II am frank 20 say that I see nothing
that warrants any such statement but |
am very closely confined 10 my work and
get home very late nights. so that ! may
not be a competent Judge, but the law
should be enforced"
The interview with Senator Brackett
was followed by one with Gov. Higgins.
and, as the saratogian has not a regular
correspondent at Albany at this season.
II is presumed here that the statement
from the governor was procured through
Senator Brackett.
The governor was quoted as saying: II
have read statements in the newspapers
10 the effect that gambling is going on
I'm Saratoga Ii the lid is of we will
have 10 put IL back on.
II the matter is brought 10 my at
tention officially / shall call the atten-
tion OF the Saratoga authorities TO the
condition and will see 10 It that the laws
are enforced. l think there are people
in Saratoga who would like TO see
gambling stopped"
II is common surmise here that Mr..
Garfield has fallen out with Senator
Brackett. as he has quarrelled in the
past with his other csSnsel

the house at No. East Forty fourth
street on the night District Attorney

Senator Bracket led the forces in op-
position TO the bill introduced by Senator
Dowling. which made il possible TO close
all the gambling houses In New York
under that provision which took from a
witness called In such case the right
10 refuse TO answer on the ground that
II might incriminate or humiliate him.
Since the passage Of that bill Garfield
has conducted no gambling house except
the one al NaIragansett Pier until he
opened up the Saratoga clubhouse last
week
When a reporter called up Senator
Bracketts house on the telephone last
night he was told that the senator was
out Of town. and said that IL was un-
certain when he would return. Although
the gamblers were made apprehensive by
this publication, there was no change in
the condition last night.
Richard Garfield declined TO discuss the
Bracket interview. His friends indicated
their belief that IL was a part Of Brack-
etts local political fight A majority OF

MILLIONAIRE MuLATTO.


Several weeks ago a freckled face
mulatto, giving his name az @. W.
Paris, struck the town and represented
himself as a millionaire from Pittsburg,
Pa. He created quite hutter among
the colored people, when he employed
a lawyer, paid the fee and began to take
options on land. One, in particular
was an option on Mr.. George highs or
chard, south of Mr.. w. NJ. Mckenzie s
farm. Paris gave it out that he had
bought the property with view of
locating colony of negroes on it. He
was shrewd enough to let Mr.. McKen-
zie know of it, who offered him one
hundred dollars for his bargain rather
than have negro town built up there
adjoining his property. The trade was
to e'closed on the following Wednes-
day morning. But Mr.. Mckenzie got
the idea that the millionaire negro
was fake, and so stated. This reaches
the negro's ear and ere the dawn of
Wednesday morning the self-repeated
millionaire mulatto left for parts I'M
known.

will be long enough 70 cover a passen-
ger train OF six coaches. We congratu-
late our sister city upon getting this
needed improvement. Albany needs a
train shed just as much, or more, than
Americas does, but-well, we are not
likely to get it soon Albany Herald
Marietta needs a train shed also, and
it would greatly protect passengers
baggage and express during heavy
rains. 1t could be, for a small cost,
connected with the present depot and
passenger station. Will the proper
authorities do this much for passengers
and traffic?

Mr. Wright, of Floyd, has introduced
bill the object of which is to make
dry counties dry in fact he proposes
to make it misdemeanor for any per-
son as agent for another to sell liquors
OF any kind in counties where prohibi-
ton prevails. His bill also makes it a
misdemeanor for anyone to carry or to
send intoxicating liquors into a dry
county, except for personal or family
use. This measure has been drawn to
meet the defect IN the law which per-
mits outside parties to ship liquors aud
to sell them in dry counties, thereby
defeating, in part at least, the objects
OF prohibition.
