HOLDS FEDERAL LAW
IS NOT VALID
Arkansas Court Files Decision Which
is Adverse to Migratory
Bird Statute.

A decision by the federal district
court of the eastern district of Ar
kansas, rendered in May Is OF inter
est to Keokuk sportsmen. The de-
cis:on holds the provision OF the ap-
preparation act for the department Of
agriculture relative to migratory
birds" as unconstitutional. 1t was
under this provision that the closed
season on the Mississippi was estab-
lished by the federal authorities.
The decision was in the case Of the
United States VS.. Shaver. The de.
PENDANT was indicted for violation
OF that provision, the provision giving
the government the right to control
the migratory birds. A demurrer to
the indictment was entered on the
grounds that the provision was un>
constitutional and the demurrer was
sustained On motion for rehear.
ing the motion was denied by the
court.
The state claimed in the motion
for a. rehearing that ''the United
States IS the owner Of all migratory
birds when they leave one state and
go into another. and as such congress
has the power to make all needful
regulations respecting them"
The court, in answering these con-
tentions. said that although in full
sympathy with all measures tending
to preserve the wild game for the
benefit of all people, the court can
find no valid reason for changing the

SAND BARS MAKE
TROUBLE FOR BOATS
Hill 10 Hung up Again Saturday
Night and Quincy Sticks In
Upper River.

Quincy Wing: After three hours
Of restlessness for those on board
and Of great anxiety for relatives IN
Quincy, the steamer G. w. Hill.
which carried an excursion to Can

landed here at 12:45 o'clock Sunday
morning. They we're stuck on q
sand bar two miles south Of La
Grange from 9:25 O'Clock last evening
until H.: 10 this morning.
The Dubuque left the city on its
way up the river at IL o'clock Satur-
day night and when 1t reached the
place where the Hill was stuck. It
pulled 1t off the bar. If no boat had
been going up 80 opportunity, it Is
hard to say when the Hill would
have reached here, as 1t was unable
to pull off by its own power, as was
proven by repeated efforts. The
boat was stuck so hard that the Du-
buque broke a new cable trying to
pull it off.
The place where the Hill was stuck
is considered very dangerous by rfv-
er men, and is more SO on account OF
the present low stage of the river. The
Dubuque was very careful about COM
ing to the aid of the stranded steam
er. A few nights ago the Hill was
stuck at the same place.
The first steamboat accident due to
low water occurred near Fairport
yesterday when the steamer Quincy

eral hours when 1t became lodged up
on a sandbar, says Sundays Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye. Had 1t not been for
the close proximity OF the United
Estates steamer David Upton, it Is
likely that the delay would have been
more prolonged. This boat respond.
ed to summons for aid and at 1880
o'clock in the afternoon the large
packet was towed off the sandy
ground and the up-r1ver trip was re-
sumed. ....

y
the fleecy staple that must be had in
order to keep her mills going and
her export markets satisfied with
cotton fabrics, Germany will unfor-
tunately suffer tremendous loss in
export trade, which neither Great
Britain nor France will be able to
make good. Some of the articles
which Germany produces for export.
Of course, cannot be duplicated; but
there would seem to be no reason
why many of the big orders which
she receives for steel products
should not come to the United
States. especially as Great Britain
will not be able to satisfy such de-
mands. Germany, moreover, has an
immense overseas commerce aggre-
eating about s4,5oo.ooo,o00, which
will be partially lost and may be per-
manently impaired. German vessels
have carried on an enormous trans
Atlantic trade with both North and
South America and also with the far
east. A very considerable portion OF
this might be won by the United
States did we possess an adequate
merchant marine. The time is highly
propftious for such movement.
Prompt and intelligent legislative &C
ton is needed. If we are to regain
our former high prestige upon the
high seas we must be able to build
and operate ships as cheaply as our
competitors. Unless we go in on the
same basis as our rivals, important
success would be very doubtful. Con.
gress is now considering new legis-
lation upon this important subject.
and it is to be hoped that the shackles
which have impeded our American
development will now be permanent
ly removed For many years we
have been fully occupied in building
railroads for the development OF our
domestic trade. Now we need to
build ships to develop our foreign
trade; and as the situation Is such
that we cannot wait until these YES.
sells are constructed, we must sfeze
the opportunity by buying the best
ships on the best terms that may be
obtained.
The European nations are no long
or polite to each other, all BEING at
loggerh eads, and not until "the hurly-
burly's done and the battles lost and
won" will there be peace. Who
could have dreamed that in this
twentieth century, with civilization in
its present advanced stage, that his
tory would repeat itself in the bar
barrie fighting now going on between
the nations OF Europe. However,
the expenditure Of $50,0Oo,0O0 day
for war needs, as at present, will
eventually be an important factor in
bringing about peace and the laying
down of the lion and the lamb to-
gether. Should this result in gen.
eral disarmament of all nations 1t
would 20 far toward compromising
for the loss IN lives and treasure as
general armament was certainly
leading to the general bankruptcy Of
almost the entire world.
The present is a particularly ia
vorable opportunity for intending In
vestors. The United States Is the
only great country with great posi-
bilities that Is free of the curse and
Generalization Of war. There are.
especially now, no securities as
class, safer and more promising
than American: and those who buy
outright in these times of present low
prices for permanent investment.
and hold on without regard to shocks
or setbacks will in due season reap
handsome profits.

OF the commercial and shipping assoc
cations In the various towns along

ellis will be urged to have delegates at
this session.
Efforts are being made to have q

very important propositions, the ad-
vance bulletins state, especially In
regard to the permanent improvement

enthusiasm and interest and to point

Importance Of Meeting.

I'VE cannot too strongly impress
upon the city councils the import
ance of their giving early attention
to and prompt action in the installing
OF adequate, modern, terminal facil-
tiles. for handling river traffic at all of
the principal ports on the upper river.
Under laws that have been passed
In Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin, and which will be urged upon
the attention of the legislators OF
Missouri, 1t Is possible for the diff
feren. cities to proceed to install
these modern terminals and ample
facilities for loading and unloading
freight. economically and expeditions
ly. The installation Of improved ter
minals is part of-the general scheme,
and is absolutely necessary to Sc
cure revival and development Of
river traffic. The, old method is too
slow and too expensive and inconven-
lent and does NOT encourage the in
sestment Of capital in boats or barges,
whereas, the opposite would be the
case II such improvements were in
augurated.

ing before the federal industrial rela-

On the occasion of a strike in his
plant, he said he had seen walking
delegate offer good workman $500 in
gold to Join with the union, and five
out of seven of his unionized employees
wept when they were ordered on strike.
Il am opposed to an organization that
employs striking, boycotting and pick
citing to enforce its demands, supple
mented by the educational crew with
brass knucllles and gas pipe" he said.
Unions he compared with war, say
ing they had served a helpful purpose,
but no longer could be recognized as a
valuable asset in the marts of the
world.
He also questioned the general argu-
ment of union men that the members
of their organizations have superior
ability. AT the time when there was a
strike on his plant he testified. cards
were issued to BARRIERS In the belief
that they were his employees.
There is no difference between the
ability OF union and non-union work
ers," he declared. ''bur there is a diff
ference in their output. One Of the
tenets of unionism is to do as little as
possible for the greatest wage"
