The draft of a new game law, to
be submitted at the next session
of the Legislature, emanating
from Mr.. Frank M. Miller, presi-
dent of the Audubon Society,
has appeared in the public prints.
The proposed new law is far more
severe than the one now on the
statute books; it vests an owner
ship of all game, fish. etc, in the
State, and provides for the crea-
ton Of a proper commission in
every parish in the State. 1t also
provides heavy penalties fer any
violation of its provisions. and.
lastly, it imposes license on ali
hunters, ranging from one to ten
dollars. If the new proposition
should ever crystalline into law
the game and fish Of the country
ought to multiply in great num-
bers in very short while, and it
would send many an amateurs
Did blundcrbuss on the second !
hand counters. In truth, the reck-
ess devastation of game and fish
ought to be stopped by means of
'ery rigid laws. ~

4 have heard something of that sort. %
replied Mr.. Mulvane. But 1 know
nothing about the report. I have been
away from the state, and have not kept
very close track Of the situation here.
There is no real necessity of any ap-
pointment at this time, is there?'
Mr.. Mulvane was kept busy receiving
the congratulations Of his friends on his
recent marriage He takes the stories
which the eastern papers printed about
his marriage with the utmost good na-
ture- AS he produced a pasteboard
cigarette box, and helped himself to a
smoke, he said:
This is that solid gold cigarette case
that they accused me Of sporting in one
of the papers. The reporter who wrote
the story had a cigarette out of it,
so he knew what he was writing about
was almost as bad as the one about
the maid which one newspaper had
travelling with us"
The Governors Authority.
The duty of the governor to appoint
a senator of the United States in case
of vacancy is not mandatory, as many
suppose. The authority comes from
the constitution of the United States
which says in case of vacancy In the
senate Of the United States: IF va
cancies happen by resignation or 9TH
eFwtse, during the recess of the Iegis-
Iature OF any state, the executive there
of may make temporary appointment
until the next meeting of the legis-
lature. which shall then fill such va
cancies.''
1t is understood that Chief Justice
W A Johnston is strongly of the opin-
ion that governor Hoch should let the
people, through the legislature, fill the
vacancy; that the governor should not
appoint any one.
Frank E Grimes. the man who has
stood by Burton through thick and
thin. said this morning:
1T is say opinion that there is nothing
which is mandatory upon the governor
to make this appointment at this time.
I do not know however, what Governor
Hoch win do Mr.. Burton VIII go back
to Abilene this evening"

morning: 7 don't know what Governor
Hoch viii do. but I viii say this, that
he ought, by all the rules Of obligation,

Stubbs he owes much of his success.
