REPORT ROASTS
GAME WARDEN
AckLEN CRITICISED AND DE.
PARTMENT SAID TO FAIL IN
ITS PURPOSE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 23.-
One of the sensations in political cir
cles Wednesday was the unqualified
condemnation of the present depart
ment of game, fish and forestry con-
tanned in the report of the commit
tee appointed to investigate the Office,
and consisting of Senator Sells, Repre-
sentatives Langford, Williams and
Phillips.
Among the very pertinent findings
of the committee are the following:
That the laws have been made
quetely and unsatisfactory enforced.
That they have failed of the
purpose for which they were intend
ed. That they are unjust and
undemocratic inasmuch as they make
a public office a private asset to assess
a tax on the public for the use of the
individual. -.
your committee presents that, in
the evidence of the state warden, the
latter states that he was conducting
the Office at a great personal and
financial sacrifice. Without passing
Judgment upon the real merits of such
claim of philanthropy. your commit
tee suggests that this is an unenviable
light in which tc place the great
solvent state OF Tennessee"
Col j. H. Acklen the state warden,
in an interview, said that the report is
unfair and unjust and seems TO have
been conceived in prejudice and
brought forth In anger" He states
that the committee has not only failed
to report as directed, but has gone
outside its authority and gives per-
sonal opinions.
In speaking of the members OF the
COL Acklen accuses one OF
being In favor of the reprehensible
practice OF seining, another as being
| violator Of the game laws, and he
,rings other charges.

aries. Under its provisions, as
by the judiciary committee,
the salaries of supreme judges will be
$4,000 per year until 1914, when these
salaries will be increased to $4,000.
The committee recommended the sal
aries of judges of the court of civil
appeals be placed at $4,000, but the
senate. on Senator Banks motion,
amended this so as to give them $4,000
)er annum. Circuit and criminal
court judges will receive $4,000 per
Lnnum until 1914, when they will be
to $3,600
A bill was introduced by Senator
Kelly, appropriating $4,000 for the pur-
,ose of fitting up the east corridor OF

COLUMBIA, Tenn, April 22.-Sev-
enteen and a half cent eggs at this
season of the year is little out OF
the ordinary. 1t is usually the custom
for eggs to decline at the beginning Of
spring, but not SO this spring. 1t is
the reverse. The supply is hardly
equal to the demand and so long as
this condition exists, we will have
high eggs.
Spring chickens are selling for 80
cents each for medium size. Extra
large size will bring 35 cents.
Wool cligging will begin some time
next week. The market will open at 20
cents per pound for free of burrs, and
the indications are that the price will
hold good. Yield much larger this
year than last, but demand is greater.
Mills have about exhausted supply
and will buy readily and heavily this
season.

His prison must be in European
Turkey, for he might be able 70 cause

Mursu is a wealthy Finnish farmer
