was prompted at Christmas to make a

a friend 1t Seenle1 Ia give great
pleasure. and the next year Mr.. I"h.
son determined to follow up the idea
on larger scale and by having his
card autographed was enabled to send
copies to twenty-five or thirty friends.
The deli ght with which they were re-
ceived WAS so great that Mr.. DobSon
was quick TO perceive that he had

and in particular the bill to raise from

ownership of each 100 shares OF stock.
Members Of the stock exchange say
such q measure would seriously reduce

among the 10000 wage-earners in the

Nominations.
LATTER REMAINS RETlcENT

A number of senators and represen.
tatives in Congress called upon Secre-
tary Bryan at the State Department
yesterday afternoon. some alone. but
many accompanied by constituents look
ing for positions. So far as could he
seen. the Secretary made no direct prom
ises but accorded to each applicant prop
erly introduced the privilege OF filing his
papers with an understanding that his
claim should receive due consideration.
Towards the end of the day. Prof John
Bassett Moore OF Columbia University.
appeared by Mr.. Bryan's own invita-
ton. After q conference OF nearly an
hour, the two repaired to the White
House to talk with President Wilson. No
announcement was made as to the re-
suit of these conferences. though Prof.
Moore's name had been mentioned as
likely successor to Chandler Anderson.
in the important position OF Chancellor
of the Department of State.
r. II. Lansing Also . Visitor.
Robert H. Lansing, who in a member
Of the American side of the British pc
cuniary claims commission. also was a
visitor at the State Department yester-
day. His name has been connected with
the prospective vacancy in the ONCE Of
Assistant Secretary of State. now held
by Huntington Wilson, who Is seeking
an early release because Of his engage
ment OF a passage for Europe. within
the next ten days. But again. an an
nouncement was withheld. and 1t 10 prob
able that the first reliable news OF tire
expected changes will be conveyed in
the dispatch Of the nominations to the
Senate next week.
Meanwhile, Secretary Bryan is making
an earnest effort to systematic the re-
ception. of his many Of callers, in ordeT
to be dble to devote attention to some
urgent matters Of departmental business.
which. because of involving questions OF
policy, require q careful study OF the his
tory of preceding negotiations.
Silent as to Changes.
Secretary Bryan apparently Is eaforc-
ing the policy Of withholding all informa-
ton about changes in the foreign serv-
ice until after the nominations in each
case have been submitted to the Senate
He declines to either confirm or deny
rumors of changes Consequently the
widest kind OF speculation Is being In
dulged in with respect to the various dip
lomatic appointments.
1t is currently reported that Norman T.
Mack of New York 10 to be made am
bassador to Austria; that William Cor
coran Eustis of the District OF Columbia
will be the next ambassador to GERMANY
that Col Thomas w. Birch of New Jer-
sew will get the mission to Belgium, anu
that various other persons have been
slated for other foreign posts.
AS the Senate will be In session tomor-
row, 1t is expected that the doubt about
some of these diplomatic appointments
may then be settled by nominations sent
in by the President.

SHIPPING GAME
Attorney General Says it May
Be Done by Express.

Aberdeen, Dec. In an opinion to
State Game Warden Hedrirk, Attor-
pey General Royal G. johnson holds
that it is not unlawful for a person to
ship, or fer n common carrier to re-
Give for shipments or to ship, any
game animal, bird or fish lawfully
killed. Chapter "a. section 80, game
laws passed by the Legislature OF 1909
states that any person may ship game
lawfully killed as baggage. bat there
is no prohibition against shipment by
express or freight. and the attorney
general holds that inasmuch as a per-
son is entitled to the use and posses
sion OF certain game during certain
seasons of the year. providing be has
a license. the prohibition of his ship
ping same would counterfeit the good
OF the license.
Attorney General johnson holds.
however. that the law is not free
from doubt, and recommends that the
state game warden take the matter
mp with the next legislature to adopt
the system in use in Minnesota and
other northwest states. where u hunter
is given shipping coupons for a limited
amount of game along with his license.
