Oyster COMMISSION ACTS
TO PREVENT SMUGGLING
Game Preserve To Be Established Near Chef
MenteBF for Breeding Of Ducks of
Several Sorts.

The Times Democrat OF
Wednesday says in part:
In an effort to prevent Louis
lana oyseters being carried across
the line into Mississippi and the
fishermen escaping the tax OF
three cents per barrel, the Game
Commission yesterday adopted q
resolution to the effect that here
after no license will be issued to
oyster boats owned or controlled
by others than Louisianians, ex-
cept boats that have the indorse-
ment of responsible frms-can-
ming factories for instance
which are domiciled or doing
business under the laws Of Louis
lana. In such cases the license
is to be issued in the name Of the
COIpOI dG1Olls
This resolution is to supersede
one adopted some time ago, to
the effect that no licenses should
be issued to boats not captained
by Louisiana men. George ".
Dunbar of Dunbar, Lopez &
|Dukate Company, with John
Dymond, Jr., appeared before
the board to object to the former
resolution, and agreed to assist
the commission in preventing
the smuggling Of oysters in every
way possible, and to report boats
on their lists failing to make
regular trips, so the commission
could be on the lookout for them
and find out if they were taking
oysters into Mississippi. The
commission also decided to make
a list of the boats licenses, and
furnish the large packers with
these lists, so they could refuse
to purchase oysters from boats
not licensed.
Mr.. Dunbar said it was impos-
sih1a fo secure boats commanded
by Louisiana captains or crews,
and his firm was compelled to
import men from the East and
pay their fare here and return
ing. It was stated in the con-
ference that perhaps 300, 900 bar
rels of Louisiana oysters had
been taken into Mississippi, upon
which no tax was paid.
To establish a game preserve
close at hand, the commission
leased from the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad the territory
near Chef Menteur, known as
The Seven Ponds. In this pre-
serve the commission will en-
deavor to breed ducks of several
sorts. The lease was made for a
nominal sum.

CARRYING BOGUS
COIN rs CRIME
Don't Keep COunterfcits as Pocket
Pieces-It's Law violation.

Are you carrying a counterfeit dol
lar bogus half or a fake 25 cent
piece in your pocket FOR luck? If so.
YOU had better turn the false ccin
over to the government officials. for
you are running constant risk of ar
rest.
The average citizen does not know
just what constitutes violation of
the Law against counterfeiting. He
probably thinks that it applies only -
the making and passing of counterfeit
money. Not at all. According to se'-
ton 151 Of the criminal code, any per-
son found with counterfeit money in
his possession is liable TO arrest upon
suspicion Of attempted violation Of
the law.

CITY COUNCIL WANTS
IMPRESSION CORRECTED
Claims Shortage Isn't Re
suit of Extravaganza.
Figures Submitted Show That City
Expenditures For Last Two Years
Are Far Below Previous Years.

Members of the city council are
rather anxious that mistaken inn
preston regarding the city's finances
be Strengthened out i'm the minds OF
the taxpayers. 1t Is claimed that ;he
people believe the present council has
been very eXtravagant when. as a
matter of fact, it is claimed. this
council has been one of the most
economical that ever administered the
affairs of the city. The city is now
about $4,000 short and under the pro-
visions of the Smith bill, the money
cannot be advanced, nor can 1t be
borrowed. necessitating, therefore. a
cutting down in expenditures in sew
eral Departments
Just as matter of comparison, the
following figures were given out this
morning. showing that Marion has
spent less under the present council
man for five years previous. The fig
ures follow and tell their own story:
In 1905 1t cost $314.O6S.11 to run the
city: 1906, S407.O52.1S; 1907, $3.50:
O0G.O3; 1908, S462, ,36345; 1909, $23G.-
S95.34, and 1910, $179,G39.73.
The figures for the first six months
or the present year are not now avail
able. but are proportlonately much
less than in 1910, which, the city faith
crs believe. shows the care they have
exercised in spending the publi1
money.
