State Game Laws Complied

State Game Warden II. f. Har-
monson, of Berlin, has compiled the
game laws for the state for 1908 and
1909. The federal law prohibits ship
ment from the state of game killed in
violation of the laws Of that state; that
is killed during the closed season by IL
legal methods or for sale or export
when sale or export are prohibited by
the state. The penalty is fine not
exceeding $500 The carrier and con-
signee may both be liable. The federal
law also prohibits shipment Of game
from the state at any time in packages
not marked so that name and address of
shipper and nature of contents may be
readily ascertained by inspection of the
outside of the package. the penalty be-
ing the same; namely. $500. 1t was a
laborious work to compile the game
laws of this state up to date, and Mr..
Harmonson has pushed the work to
completion as rapidly as he could do,

game laws of the state is contained in
that chart.

Number Forty=One
The Liquor Traffic Weighed q nd
Found Wanting in In
dustrial Value


the daily papers of Illinois have had thrust
upon their attention repeatedly huge ADVERTISE
ments signed in the of the wage
earners' who are supposed to gain their liveli-
hood" in the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors.
Reading these advertisements, believingly,
the citizen would gain the impression that all
the towering structure of the prosperity of the
great commonwealth of Illinois is builded upon
the brewery and the distillery, and that the
gravest of disasters threatens if the Prohibi-
ton cause shall triumph or if the steady voting
dry of the people of Illinois be not checked.
1t IS not an inopportune thing that atten-
ton has thus been concentrated upon Illinois,
for in comparatively few states of the Republic
is it possible to make fairer test of the i'm
portance of the business of manufacturing liquor
as compared with the total manufacturing of
the state. Illinois is the foremost whisky-pro-
duclng state of the Union and stands second
only to New York in the production of all
kinds of liquors, falling behind that state by
narrow margin only. In general manufacture
ing 1T ranks fourth in capital invested and in
the number of wage-earners employed and
third in the number of manufacturing establish
ments and the total value of manufactured
products.
These figures obtained from the United
States Census of 1900 and are not materially
modified by the more recent Census bulletins
bearing upon the question
At first sight, the liquor business in Illinois
makes an imposing presentation, particularly if
one happens to view it from the standpoint of
the great dstilling town, Peoria In the
Census year it had twenty establishments man
ufacturing distilled liquors, ninety-four manu-
featuring malt liquors, eight manufacturing
vinous liquors and to this there may be added,
for the purpose of giving full credit, fourteen
establishments manufacturing malt, which has
its sole employment in the production of
liquors.
This makes total of one hundred and
thirty six establishments. (The bulletin of
1905, which is manifestly incomplete, placed
the number of such establishments at one hun
dred and twenty seven) In 1900 these estab-
lishments represented grand total of capital
to the amount of s52,7s3,O11 Seventy three
people were listed as proprietors, 6s1 as clerks
and 4,O06 as wage-earners.
1t may be fancied that the thoughtful reader,
glancing at those figures, will read them with
trife of disappointment. He thought if he
has been giving any attention to the liquor
propaganda, that the business was much larger
than this. That matter, however, will be
studied in detail little further on.
Further examination shows that in 1900 the
and officials $1,256,456 in salaries and paid to

George Washington was domi-

spired the real reformer of all
ages. Any man can labor for the
accomplishment Of that which
he knows can be accomplished,
Any man can commit himself to

sees just at hand. Any man can
move forward, when everything is
moving in his direction.
But the really great man of his
day is the man who, seeing that

TiIIman Opposes Growth of the

WASHINGTON, March 16.-With a
caution unusual for him. Senator TILL
man today read part of his speech in
the senate In which he denounced ex-
ecutive encroachment on legislative
power. With this apparent caution he
proceeded to deliver one of the most
direct and denunciatory addresses ever
heard in that body. He was given a
careful hearing. Most of the senators
on both sides of the chamber were in
their places and the galleries were
filed with visitors.
His speech was based on his resolu-
ton instructing the committee on
finance to inquire whether national
banks of New York are in the habit Of
furnishing permanent capital for specu-
iatsxe enterprises, etc. The resolution
was adopted.

BUTLER DENIES
| LOBBYIST WORK
Former Senator Tells of His
Connection With Electric
Boat Company
Other Witnesses in the Graft
Inquiry Say Bribery Was
Not Attempted

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The house
committee which is investigating the
charges of Representative Lilley
against the Electric boat company ex-
amined today a number of witnesses.
Former Senator Butler of South Caro-
lima, called as the first witness, was
questioned by Hubbard. Butler said
that after leaving the senate he was
engaged by the Holland boat company
and later by the Electric boat COM
pany, but had done no. work for the
company for the last three or four
years. He thought it likely he had a
written contract in the form OF let
ter with the boat company. but did not
recollect positively He said that one
year he received a retaining fee or
| S2,400 and since then probably had re-
ceived about $1,000. His employment
/ principally was to make arguments be-
! fore the senate naval committee. He
never had appeared before house COM
mittee nor had he discussed submarine
| boats with any member of the house.
His recollection was that he had been
employed by e. B. Frost.
Butler said he had taken no part
in the present congress for or against
submarine boat legislation. He had
no apologies to make for what he had
| done in the past. He thought that sub
that the government should have at
! least 100 of them.
FURNISHES FOOD AND DRINK
Speaking of tests of the Holland boat
| in the Potomac river a few years ago
| Butler said that a party of senator's
and members of the house were his
guests on a tugboat to witness the ex-
periments and that food and drink
were furnished which he supposed the
boat company paid for
c. E. Creecy of Washington. who said
he was the principal attorney for the
boat company from 1894 to 1908. denied
i that he had ever spent any money to
influence government employees or
members of congress In favor of the
boat and that he did not believe that
any one else had done so.
He described himself as an "honored
/ official and said he would never had

Though in his letter to The Call
Cooke declared he never made any
derogatory statements regarding the

refuted by his statements to news

Cooke IS now working for j. H Hub
bel, a decorator in San Rafael. Hub
bel said last night that he had a place
for him as long as the latter wanted
TO work. Cooke is undecided what to
do. He had some thought of going
to Seattle, but the probabilities are
that he will return to San Francisco,
where he has been offered a good po-
sition. Whatever may be his other
faults, the man is looked upon as a
