lists at work in the field, going to
different cities for campaigns. In
each large city where a campaign
is put on men from all other cities
near by will be invited to participate
and on returning to their own cities
will be required to conduct cam
paigns in a number of nearby towns.
By this plan, it is hoped that in ev-
cry city and town of the land dur
ing the next II months there will
be a strenuous effort made by Chris
ton men to win other men. The de-
sign is a stupendous one, and will
be made possible only by tireless
work on the part of each local COM
mittee.
Following up the decision of last
nights meeting, a call will be issued
for the appointment of a committee
to take up the work locally and to
prepare to get the most out of the
movement for this community.

every suit we offer to a customer
carries our absolute guarantee that
it is just what we represent it to be.

ViOIatOrS OF Game
Law To Be Arrested
Can Sell Ducks in Georgia, but
Can't Kill Them

AT his request a warrant was
sworn out for Ward Allen yesterday
by Game Warden G. R. Rossignol,
Jr.. before Recorder Schwarz charg-
ing MIR. Allen with violating the
game law.
The case is to be a test case OF
the recent ruling of Attorney Cen
eraI t. S. Fielder that migratory
ducks cannot be shot in Georgia
at any time in the year.
Despite Geographic dispatches to
the contrary, Warden Rossienol re-
ceived a letter from Game War
den Jesse Mercer last night order
ing him to enforce the law and to
arrest all persons killing ducks in
Chatham county.
MIR. Allen was arrested yesterday
and after waving a preliminary
hearing the case was set for Friday.
1t will be tried in the City Court
MT. Allen was released on his recog-
nizance. He contends that he was
in Atlanta and helped frame the
present game law. aud that it was
not the purpose of the Legislature
to pass a law prohibiting the shoot
ing of migratory ducks, and that
he thinks the attorney general is
wrong in the construction of it.
To have the matter brought to
an issue Mr. Allen sought the game
warden and the warrant sworn out
to have the matter settled for the
boys" he said
Dispatches were sent out yester-
day purporting to be from State War
den Mercer to the effect that he had
ordered all county wardens not to
prosecute violators of the law in re-
gard to ducks. The letter received
at night by Mr.. Rossignol is to the
contrary and says to arrest all per-
sons killing ducks in Georgia, but
that he doesn't think it applies to
ducks killed in Carolina and sold in
Georgia.

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1911-11-23

Dear Sir: | do not understand the
law to prohibit the importation OF
migratory ducks. think it is al
right to bring them from South
Carolina, sell them and serve them
in restaurants. The law merely
forbids the shooting or killing
do not believe that it is the
spirit of the law, and | am not dis
posed to hunt for that kind of VIC
lations, although it must not be as
sumed by any warden or any citi-
zen that any section of the law
will be neglected in the matter of
prosecutions. | simply hold that it
is less a crime than the killing of
partridges out of season or hunting
without license or permission, which
are so clearly forbidden by law, and
the purpose of the law.
candidly believe that it was the
purpose of Il e Legislature to leave
migratory ducks unprotected entire
ly, but, as you see. they failed to
do it, and we have only one duty
in the matter, and my policy is to
perform that duty or give up the
ship and let others handle it.
| advise that you notify your
deputies to warn hunters not to
shoot migratory ducks over Geor-
eia soil or Georgia waters, and to
prosecute cases that come to their
notice. Sincerely,
j. E. Mercer,
State Game & Fish Warden.
Savannah Morning News, Nov q,
Since writing the above quoted
letter to Warden Rossingnol of Sa-
vannah, Commissioner Mercer re-
ceived the opinion or construction
of the law from the Attorney Gener-
al Fielder and also a letter from Hon.
Minter Wimberly, Chairman of the
House Committee recommending
the bill in which he states that it
was the purpose of the Legislature
to leave migratory ducks unprotect-
ed entirely, and the general order to
wardens published in Tueaday's
Enterprise was issued advising
against prosecutions for duck shoot
ing.
The decision of the Court of APP
peaIs in the Savannah case will
control the policy of the State Game
and Fish Department on that partic-
ular point.

Love Affair.
Upton Sinclair's Wife Leaves
the Author.
HE BLAMES KANSAN
Says That When She Net Him
Things Changed.
Quit Husband After Kemp Wis
tied Their Home.

New York, Aug. 24-Upton Sinclair
the novelist and socialist, sent a state
ment to the newspapers last night thai
his wife had left him to go upon the
stage.
Sinclair's statement traces his wife's
present ambition to her sojourn at q
| Battle Greek, Mich, sanitarium in 1907
where she met Harry Kemp, the Kan
acquaintance a month ago, when Kemp
visited the Sinclair home at Arden,
Del. Kemp was there as a guest OF
the author, who had admired the Kan
| sans poetry.
Kemp, says Sinclair, said at the time
that he was writing a play in blank
verse. and it was, he asserts. as a re-
suit of that influence that Mrs. Sin
clair decided to be an actress.
LAS soon as 1 can get in touch with
necessary papers, it is my intention to
enter suit against my wife, Meta F.
Sinclair, for DIVORCE" Sinclair said.
According to the novelist, Mrs. Sin
clair is in this city at the home of
her father. Sinclair said he had a
week, after following her from Arden,
Del. The apartment is on the second
floor of a fat building at TIA West
Eighty-seventh street, near Amster-
and persistent bell-ringing and rapping
failed to bring any response from
within.
Mrs Sinclair was Miss Meta H. Full
Ter. daughter of William H. Fuller,
clerk of the court of special sessions.
She was married to Sinclair in 1901,
when he was starting out as writer
and before he had made any notab
success. He credited her with being
the inspiration Of one of his earlier nov
els. which failed to find a publisher
and which he issued himself. She ac-
companied him to Chicago and lived
with him in a tenement among the
slaughter house workers while ne was
writing 1.-THE Jungle
There were rumors of a disagreement
between the Sinclairs in the fall OF
1907, when Mrs. Sinclair was in SAM
tarium at Battle Creek, but they were
vigorously denied by the novelist, who
pronounced malicious the reports that
his wife's health had been undermined
by the private she suffered on her
honeymoon in a camp along the St
Lawrence, in the unSanitary Chicago
tenement district, and by the shock OF
the burning of Helicon Hall. the COM
munistic enterprise near Englewood,
N. j. which Sinclair launched with a
mart of the proceeds of THE Jungle.

tons to his wife's stage career 1t was
