THE NATIONAL LAW
SETS ASIDE THE STATE REGULA
TIoNS.
GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL
items Of Interest Gathered from Re-
liable Sources and Presented In
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.

There appears to be some misunder
standing in regard to when the sea
son for shooting ducks and other
water fowl closes. The state law is
supposed to be set aside by the ma
tional regulations. Chief Game War.
den Rutenbach will endeavor to en-
force the national regulations and
drop the state law. The state law per.
mits the shooting of water fowl dur.
ing the winter and in the spring. The
national regulations provides that the
season for killing water fowl shall be
closed from December 16 until the
first Of the following September. From
the 18th of December until September
it will be unlawful under the
national regulations, to kill water
fowl. AS there are no ducks or
geese in Nebraska during the winter,
except in the extreme northern
part Of the state, the national regula.
tion will not deprive Nebraska sports
men OF any shooting except in the.
early spring. The state law provided
that the season should begin Septem.
ber l and close April 6. Under the
government regulations 1t will open
September l and close December 16
which means a period Of three and
one-half months Of fall shooting. The
next open season will be on fish. This
opens April l and ends November Is.
with the exception of the open season
for trout not less than eight inches
long. which begins April I and ends
October /. The open season for bass
not less than eight inches long begins
April l and ends November IS.

Typhoid at inaIeside Hospital.

Typhoid among attendants and in

the vaccination Of 175 employees with
typhoid vaccine and in unusual sani-
tary precautions being taken at Ingle-
side. Superintendent Baxter suspect
ed the milk supply as the source OF
the disease and an analysis Of the pro-
duct proved the theory true. He
learned that the disease germs had
developed from the manner In which
the milk had been handled, instead
OF diseased cows, and the sterilizing Of
all milk used from the sixty.three
head now milked, together with the
vaccination put a stop to its further
spread.

Sound Sense

1T is an interesting as well as a
just decision by the Supreme Court
of the United States, under an In
terstate Commerce Law making a
railroad liable for the death of an
employe by accident, that liability
is not escaped if death be no inn
mediate but delayed an hour or two
The foolish and short sighted at.
titude of the railroads in such mat
tiers was shown by the contention
Of their lawyers that nothing but
instant death was contemplated by
the Act in question.
Contentious of that sort serve
merely to excite ill-feeling against
the transportations companies, and
do no earthly good.-Bee.

SEVERAL measures will probably
be presented this session OF the Leg
islature to reapportion the member
ship of the Legislatures Of the future
1t is probable that they will fail, as
the theory Of the big counties grab
bling the most in sigh will most like
ly prevail.
There is one plan presented that
should be given some consideration
that of districting the state. Loppine
off useless representation and max
ing districts where counties nov
thrive. This is the law in los of
the states and works to the utmost
efficiency. The plan as introduced by
Senator Aschcr. while it trims down
the unwieldly numbers. at the same
time saves the state many thousands
of dollars.
It is realized that a few large
counties by combination can CONTROL
all legislation, They hold the major
ity of vote, and the difference in
opinions seems to be of little or no
material interest. Vt is this partic-
ular condition that is calling for bet
ter laws in apportionment of repre-
sentation. Ascher's bill may not be
perfect, but it is worth more than
passino confederation

Titanic Investigation

WE have been reading for months
of the investigation in England ri
the Titanic disaster. Now the news
comes that it has cost about $100.0M.
but the chief cost was the fees of tn
lawyers. The Acknowledgement. Sir
Rufus ~Isaacs, received something
over $4,000; the Solicitor-General
Sir ]. A. Simon, a similar amount.
As officers of her crown these law,
yers receive $35, 900 and $4,000, re-
spectively. and the SIS 200 was thus
an extra.
Another lawyer received S11 600,
still another $4,000, and Mr.. Raymond
Asquith $4,000.
The whole investigation brought
out no important facts that were not
made clear by the investigation made
by the United States Senate Commit
tee which sat on the case as soon as
the news of the calamity reached this
country, The three important facts
were that the ship was badly manned.
some of the officers being strangers
to each other when the ship sailed:
second, that the ship was being drig-
EN- at a reckless speed. the officers
knowing of the near proximity OF
the icebergs. and third. that the ship
was protected against almost every
danger except a rake from an ice
berg below the water line.
