THE NEW FISH
AND GAME LAWS
The Legislature Has Made a Number
of Changes Again.

The Legislature Has Made q Number
of Changes Again.
The new state game and fish act
became a law by publication last
Saturday.
The bill provides for a uniform
season for all game fish except brook.
trout, the season for which was I'M
changed, opening as heretofore on
April 10. For all other fish season
begins June 1 and closes March 1, leav-
ing three months in the closed season.
The catch Of brook trout is limited
to forty-five, instead of the old limit
of ten pounds, which was delightful
" vague and indefinite so far as the
average fisherman was concerned
A new standard of measurements is
provided for game fish. Measured
from the tip of the head to the feshy
part of the tail, or caudal base of the
fish, trout must be inches long; a
bass, 10 inches; perch, inches, and
pike and pickerel. IL inches, to be of
legal size.
BY changing from weight to length
it is believed the law can more easily
be observed by those desiring to keep
within the pale, while those who
break it will have far less excuse. 1t
must be remembered that the measure
ments by the game wardens will not
be from the tip of fish's head to the
end of its tail, but to the end of the
feshy part of the tail. which is also
rather vague, as the ffeshy part OF
the tall will he varioUsly construed
by fishermen as being any where be-
tween the second dorsal and the
caudaI fin.
Pike caught in Quilting waters may
now be shipped in or out of the state
in any quantity, which is a change
from the old law, while pickerel from
inland waters, which could be shipped
as rough fish. and pike must be ac-
companied by the fisherman except
that the law permits the shipment of
twenty pounds once in each seven
days. The change from the wording
of the old law, which permitted such
shipments ''once week, - was made
because some would ship Saturday and
be ready again Monday with another
package.
For the first time, too, croppies are
made a game fish in Wisconsin and
must be caught only within the
regular open season for game fish.
A license fee of 81 for each non
resident male person over sixteen is
required under the new law. The
license forms will be out the coming
week and Will be distributed among
the resort keepers of the state so as to
be most easily obtainabIe by non-resi-
dent anglers. The department has
heard from many of these and they

The following petition from the
W. G. T. U. was presented:
Lancaster, Wisconsin, June 10, 1909.
To the Common Council of the city of
Lancaster:
Whereas the 30th day Dt May has
been legally set apart to honor the
memory of those who gave their
lives to perpetuate the union; and,
Whereas 1t is unseemly that day
so sacred and invested with such
hallowed memories should be debased
and violated by the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors,
Now, therefore, we, The Woman s
Christian Temperance Union in meet
ing assembled. do most earnestly petit
tion that in granting saloon licenses
for the ensuing year you impose it as
a condition that the saloons shall re
main closed and no intoxicating
liquors be sold May Both, 1910, further
providing that a violation Of said con-
dition shall work a forfeiture of the
license.
Elizabeth Jordan, Pres,
Ellie Duncan, Secy.,
Lucretia Totman, Treas.
A. J. Mitchell, Cor. Secy.
The petition was referred to the
committee on ordinances for action.
It was decided to build public
sewer on Monroe street, from Walnut

pointment today of a receiver for Tracy

f. A Benedict. the receiver, said to-
night that he understood that money
lost in backing a local taxicab concern
figured fn the outside ventures. The
total liabilities are estimated at 81 ,0OO,-
600 and the assets at half that amount.
The firm Of Tracy & Co. was organ

member. Tracy and Covington were in
conference with the receiver during the

any statement.
Among stock exchange houses with
Chicago connections the embarrassment
OF the firm caused little surprise. The

Tracy as a result, at least in part, of
the proposed taxicab organization pend
ing before the local board of aldermen.

McCarthy's Lawyers Are
Given Lesson in the Law
First Complaint in the Suit Against The Call
Defective, Perhaps Intentionally

didate for mayor were afraid to turn
him down for fear that he would. bolt
and cause dissensions in union labor
But the workingmen are not going
to vote for Mccarthy, impelleds by any
such feeling as that. They did not rea-
son the latter out that way two years
ago"
There is no surprise expressed at
the exposure of McCarthy's willing
ness to sit down with Herrin men to
form political combination. Politi-
clans i'm the know" have been aware
of what was afoot and found nothing
in McCarthy's past performances in
politics to make the story incredible.
At the same time it is recognized that
Mccarthy can not afford to disregard
the accusation and must attempt to
make good his bluff at vindication. 1t
is the general opinion that Mccarthy
is in a very tight place and will have
to maneuvre sl<illfully to get out.
Cleveland l. Dam stated yesterday
that he was not and never had been
candidate for the union labor nomi-
nation for, district attorney. He de-
clared that he would not accept the
nomination at the hands of any po-
litical party, or at the hands of the
public at large should it be rendered
