ING LAW GOES INTO EFFECT
NEXT WEDNESDAY.

Washington, Sept. 26.-One of the
most sweeping and far reaching ma
tional game laws ever enacted will go
into effect on Wednesday of next
week and the government has sent
copies of the Weeks-McLean Bird Law
to all parts of the country so as to
give the authorities and the hunters
throughout the country a chance to
become acquainted with the provisions
of the law.
The law fixes the seasons for shoot
ing migratory birds and also divides
the country into two zones, a northern
and a southern, in order that the birds
may be protected to the fullest extent.
twenty-five states are in the north
ern zone, while the southern zone
comprises the remaining % states.
The shooting season for the two zones
varies according to the classification
of the four classes of migratory birds
Spring shooting is absolutely pro
hibited as is the shooting of migra
tory birds between sunrise and sunset
In most cases three months of oper
shooting for water fowl are allowed
and in no case will there be less thai
80 days, when birds may be shot dur
ing the period of their greatest abund
ance.

Likelihood that foreign governments

yesterday when a summons was serv-
ed on Sarecky. Defense attorneys yes

Neither was put on the stand during
the morning session which was taken
up by witnesses telling of contributing
comparatively small amounts to the

the banker yesterday said he gave to
the Governor without restriction as to
its use. Mr.. Scheff said he had re-
piled negatively.

ayers said they were prepared to prove
the Governor received campaign con
tributions "vastly in excess" of the
total mentioned in the articles of i'm.
peachment. There were more than 100
not accounted for, counsel asserted.

the brewing interests, were brought
into the evidence. These included
fifty-two persons mentioned as drawers
of Sulzer checks in the account Of
Louis A. Sarecky, the Governors cam
paign secretary in the Mutual Alliance

This account showed with checks and
cash the deposits of $14,400 had been
made between September 10, 1912, ant
