REWARD BOY
FOR HONESTY

To the honesty Of Leroy Quill, a
small boy, living at No. 929 Poplar
street, is due the fact that $50 lost by
Walter L. Vannerson, of this city, was
returned TO the owner. The latter is
in that much, less IS which he gave
to the lad who found the purse.
Young Quill is not only honest but
he had to fight to keep the purse from
falling into the hands OF other boys.
They wanted to take the purse from
him but he ran home and gave it to
his mother. When she saw the roll
of money she turned the purse over
to Patrolman Burns.
Mr. Vannerson lost the purse IN
Poplar street between Eighth and
Ninth streets today.

MAY SHIP GAME
OUTSIDE OF STATE

Norfolk. Va, November 14.-Judge
Edmund waddill in the Federal Dis
trict Court to-day ruled that the Board
of Supervisors of Princess Anne coun-
ty acted within their rights when
they permitted the shipment Of game
outside of the county, and in conse-
quence the interstate commerce law
does not forbid the shipping OF game
outside OF the Sta q. M
The matter was brought into the
Federal court by virtue OF a provision
of the interstate m law which
prohibits Interstate TRANSPORTATION OF
articles that are not legally trans
portable in ~intrastate commerce.
The sustaining OF the action OF
the Supervisors and the courts ruling
that the provisions OF the interstate
commerce law is not applicable is Il
victory for scores of game hunters h
heretofore have supported their fami-
lies from the proceeds derived from
the sale of game shipped to other
States. 1t also practically declares
State law prohibiting the shipment
Of game out of the State %unconstitu-
tfonai.
