ASKING FEDERAL AID
IN PROTECTING FISH
THROUGHOUT STATE
MIDDLE TENNESSEE AssociA-
TON TAKES ACTIVE STEPS
ALONG THIS LINE.
LAxITY IN STATE The CAUSE
Do Not Endorse the Methods of the
Present Game Warden and win
Endeavor to Have the Laws Better
Enforced.

Despairing of getting the proper
aid and assistance in the protection
of game and fish, particularly the lat
ter, from the state game laws az ad-
ministered by Game Warden Acklen,
the Middle Tennessee Game and Fish
Association, through it's officers John
w. Jackson, president, and w. D..
Hastings, secretary, are invoking fed
eral aid. AS proof of their deter
mination to do what is in their power
through whatever means possible
they have made application to the
department of commerce and labor
for this protection and assistance,
and have filed an application Tor an
other consignment of fish.
1t is the purpose of the Middle
Tennessee Association to secure the
cooperation of similar associations
in other portions of the state and to
make the movement state wide
1t is common knowledge that the
state game and fish laws are not rig
idly enforced and it is this laxity on
the part of the state authorities that
has prompted the step by the Middle
Tennessee Association, and IA con-
certed effort is anticipated through
out the state to get better protection,
stop the playing of favorites by the
state game wardens office and to Of
fer rewards for all convictions Of
violation of the game and fish laws.
The department of commerce and
labor now has the matter under con.
sideration and the association has ev.
cry assurance that whatever assist
ance along the lines asked will be
given and if any grounds for fed
eral assistance can be found it will
be cheerfully rendered.

Fight in the Senate When Bills
Come Up for Consideration.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April IL

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April H.
For the second time during the pres
ent session regular democrats in con-
ference last night considered the
proposition of deposing Speaker
Newt White, of the senate, and for
the second time decided that il was
not feasible.
The situation resulted from the eff
forts of the regular democrats to
take up for consideration the new as
sessment bill before the general ap-
preparation bill, which the fusion
members desired to have passed end
sent to the house, having assurances
that if this course was taken a QUO
rum would be present in the house
to pass the bill. 1t was proposed to
substitute it there for the Pierce bill,
skeleton bill introduced and passed
on two readings before the break In
the quorum.
The fight started in the afternoon
when the regulars attempted to call
up the assessment bill as special
order. The bill, along with Others,
had been set for the previous cay,
but several other bills had been al
lowed to come up in between, and
the speaker following the ruling by
which the immunity bill was ruled
out on the previous day, declared
that the bills had lost their place as
special orders and w-ht back on the
calendar.
The regulars appealed from the de-
cision of the chair and fight started
that resulted after several hours
and many speeches, in two recesses
being taken in which the regulars
considered the proposition of how to
break through the speakers ruling
that the setting of bills required a
two-thirds vote.
The recess conferences resulted in
a motion TO take up the general APP
preparation bin first, followed by the

Shin Bsrnacles.

One of the worst nuisances that
sailors have to put up with is bar
nacles. Barnacles abound in almost
all seas, attaching themselves in
great numbers to logs of wood, the
bottoms of ships and other floating
materials.
The COMMON or ship barnacle is a
species Of shellfish 1t is distin-
guished by long, flexible stalk that
Is provided with muscles by means of
which the creature can elongate or
contract itself at will. Upon the end
of the stalk there are Ave shelly
valves, the principal organs OF the ami
NAL being closed within. These valves
open and close to admit of the bar
nacle spreading out and drawing back
its net, an apparatus by which 1t OBJ
tains food.
Ship barnacles congregate in such
numbers on ships that the latter's
sailing powers are seriously impaired.
The creatures grow rapidly, at tho
same time undergoing such wonderful
transformation that they are objects
OF interesting study.

THEIR PERlLoUS TRIP
TORIES SUFFERED HARDsHIPs
IN SEEKING NEW HOME.
Flight From New York Made Impera-
tive After the Success of the Rev
olution, Gale Drove Them
Into Danger.

After the revolution was over and
the British had evacuated New York
the victorious patriots maze life
burden to the Tories. Even the chill
dren tainted and stoned them when
they ventured on The streets. So
lot of them held a meeting and de-
cided to seek some colony of the
kings where they could live in peace.
With this purpose in view, they
bought a ship, put all their household
goods on board and sailed away, 800
souls in all.
The captains experience in naviga-
tion had been confined to coastwise
trips as mate of asashing schooner, and
he lost his reckoning in a thick fog
which they ran into fortnight from
New York. The fog lifted before a
roaring gale which drove Tie vessel
before it straight ahead into unknown
ATTITUDES.
The weather grew colder and cold
er, and the sea was dotted with foes.
Snow and slect fell from the sunless
sky, and the ship soon became sheath
ed in ice. Many died of the extreme
cold and exposure and were buried
in the sea. When the storm ceased
there was no sign of land anywhere,
nothing but the lonely ocean and the
floating cakes Of ice that bumped and
battered the vessel on all sides with
a noise like thunder. The half-frozen
voyagers begged the captain to turn
and head south as soon as possible,
anywhere away from the terrible cold,
so the ship retreated her course.
Gradually the air grew warm, the Ice
melted from decks and rigging. and
birds and flying fish appeared in
great numbers.
At last they sighted beautiful is
land with brown and white roofs clus-
tered here and there among the tall
palms and purple hills In the back
ground. 1t was hailed with extrava-
giant joy. for water was low, the food
running short and their clothing in
rags. AS the storm-beaten ship APP
preached crowd of people in white,
red and yellow garments gathered on
the beach but made such unmistak-
ably hostile demonstrations they
dared not land, as their only weapons
were half a dozen muskets. So they
turned the vessel once more, and sor-
rowfully steered due north again,
finally reaching st. Johns, where they
received a cordial welcome, and where
their descendants are still living.
