Owners and Game Permits

The supreme court of Alabama. speaking through Justice Mcclellan. practically bars out game permits signed by tenants. An owner is the right person to execute written per- mits for hunting on his own lands under the game law of the state.
 Justice McClelland goes on to ex- plain that the game law has no rela- tion whatever to the protection of lands against trespasses. The law relates wholly to the preservation, propagation and protection of the creatures named in it. A man who does not seek the life of these cre- atures may trespass on lands to his hearts content without violating a single section of the game law. The ordinary tenant takes over the care of the lands only. His lease does not mention the game on the property. All these considerations induce the court to hold that a written permit signed by tenant does not protect hunter under the terms of the game law. The hunter should have obtained the writ. ten consent of the owner.
 This decision touches a great many persons It may be said to be as far reaching as the game law itself, ex. tending to every county and really fitting every man who goes out into the open gun in hand. The man with gun or rod will do well to see the owner of any lands he may desire to visit in accordance with the wise terms of Alabamas new game law
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-21
Contestant HaarSt'S Recount

Up to yesterday morning 1900 boxes had been recounted in the mayoralty contest in New York, leaving but GAY boxes to be recounted All the boxes in the old city of New York had been recounted, and so had a portion of the Brooklyn boxes. The recount will be completed next week.
 Thus far Hearst has gained 4S2 votes and if his gains go on at the rate they have thus far he may have TOO votes to his credit in 1939 boxes, CT about one vote to three boxes. But this will not be a comfort to him, for Mayor McClellan's original plurality was 3SS4.
 The title of Mcclellan to the may crafty is confirmed by the recount completely confirmed and the claims of Hearst are dissipated and con- demned. He has laid claims to an cf- flee to which he was never elected. Whether he had an inkling of what was coming to him cannot be stated, but he at any rate sailed away to Eu- rope at about the time the recount was begun
 After this fiasco he will probably give his Independence League a rest of four years, for it will soon be judi cially determined that all his claims in relation to the mayoralty were fabrics of visionary brain,'' more baseless even than the stories put out during the heat of a campaign. To start such yarns long afterwards with little evidence to fall back on, is ln- deed defeat that cannot be explained away.
