COMMITTEE WORK ENDS.
Col. R. z. Taylor Questioned Regard
ing Reelfoot Lake Titles.

Col. Taylor testified that the Land
Company based its titles on Daugherty
grants, Galloway grants, Cochran and
Wells grants and the Caldwell grants.
The Galloway grants cover all the lake
conflicting with all other grants. The
Galloway grants were issued about 1875.
The Caldwell grants were issued about
1928. The Supreme Court passed
on the Caldwell grants and the Galloway
grants in the case of Wilson VS.. Harris,
hold that the Caldwell and Galloway
grants were good titles, but when the
Galloway grants conflict with Caldwell
grants the Caldwell grants prevailed.
JUDGE HARRIS TEsTIFIEs.
Judge Harris testified that prior to
the Nightrider troubles Shaw & Harris
opened park on the lake at Samburg
where any citizen that cared to could
camp and fish. He said: Il own 81
per cent of the stock of the land COM
pany. l am the president of the COM
pany. Cannot say how much money
has been paid into the organization. I
have paid 81, 900.
The land l put into the company in
cludes but little land out of water, about
three or four thousand acres. The land
covered by water and all owned by the
land company is about twenty-five
thousand acres. We did not fix valu-

STATE WARDEN.

Col Jos. I'll. Acklen, State Warden,
who is here on invitation of the com
mittee to assist in the investigation,
said: The State should own and con-
troll absolutely the easement of shooting
and fishing on Reelfoot Lake for equal
use and benefit of all the citizens of
Tennessee. AS an easement of shoot
ing and fishing is property right, it
can be acquired by the State either by
purchase or condemnation proceedings.
Such latter proceedings should not be
instituted until every reasonable effort
has been exhausted to purchase said
easement of shooting and fishing.
To establish a game and fish pre-
serve the boundaries must be defined to
enable the Legislature to enact special
laws governing the methods to be en-
ployed in the taking of game and fish
Shooting and fishing for sport and
pleasure should be absolutely free to all
citizens of our State. The shooting,
however, should be SO regulated as to
prevent few persons from monopoliz-
ing it. To this end a reasonable limi-
tation should be put upon the number
Of days that any one man could shoot
Turing the shooting season. 1t would
De better to prohibit market shooting
Commercial fishing should be so
egulated as not only to protect the fish
rom determination, but to accord the
ishermen an open market in which to
dispose of their catch. Commercial
ishermen should be charged by the
tate only small license for the privi-
eye of fishing for the market, Just suf-
Client to pay for the services of several
1ardens to patrol the lake to see that
ne law is observed. More than this
ne State should not exact. There
hould be no effort on the part of the
tate to make any profit out of the bus
less.

If he can, then his contention that
