Sioux Falls, S. D., has taken the oppo- site ivew of it, and the department of justice at Washington is also taking issue with Judge Trieber's opinion.
 The case upon which the decision was originally given, that of Harvey c. Shauver, of Jonesboro, charged with taking migratory birds out of season, is being given rehearing today by Judge Trieber. This IS done upon the request of Col. J. II. Ackiin of Nashville, Tenn, United States game warden, who has for years been an active factor in game regulations.
 Judge Trieber has assumed the po- sition that migratory birds have al ways been considered as belonging to the state in which they are found, and for that reason congress has no authority to enact laws affecting the rights of such states.
 Among those present at today s hearing is Wm. s. Haskell of New York, attorney for the American Game Protective and Propagation As sociation. Mir Haskell has issued statement in which he says that Judge Trieber's decision is binding only in the district in which 1t was made.

CLARKE CAMPS ON
 CARAWAY'S TRAIL
BLOCKS HIS PATRONAGE
SENIOR SENATOR SAID TO HAVE DECLARED WAR ON
 CONGRESSMAN.

A report from Washington, D. C., has reached Jonesboro that Senator James P. Clarke has waged war on Congressman Caraway and will con- tinue a fight on him for reelection two years hence, according to the Jonesboro Sun Ut seems from re- ports, the break came over the recom- mendation of certain applicants for the postmastership just prior to the Democratic primary, Senator Clarke claiming that it was an injustice to him, coming at that time," says the Sun.
 "The fact that the United States Senate refused to confirm the ap- pointment of Albert Snowden as post master of Paragould last Saturday is further evidence of the break be- sween, the senator and MT. Caraway. MT. Snowden was appointed post master by President Wilson on the recommendation of MT. Caraway, it was generally known that Senator Clarke favored the appointment of c. T. Breckenridge, who had the en- dorsement of the county central committee and of a large number of voters of Greene county and patrons of the Paragould postoffice. MT. Caraway favored MT. Snowden, who was also favored for the place by Former Governor and State Senator Futrell. Senator Clarke protested against his appointment being con- firmed in the senate and it was re- fused.
 "It is now reported that the ap- continent of F. O.. Gogbill, as post master of Wynne, will also be fought
 in the senate by Senator Clarke.
 Ut has been reported that Senator Futrell of Paragould, is the pros pective candidate to oppose MT. Car away for reelection and that he will have the support of Senator Clarke and his friends in the district The fact that Senator Futrell was favor able to the appointment of MT. Snow der, postmaster at Paragould, will have a tendency to complicate matters when it comes to his opposing MT. Caraway for reelection. It is cer- tain fact and undeniable by those ac- quainted with politics in the First congressional district, that whoever Senator Clarke may get in the race to defeat Caraway, that gentleman will know he has had race before the smoke is cleared away and the victor declared by the vote of the people There are large number of people in this district that would like an opportunity of expressing them selves with regard to the standing of Senator Clarke and Clyde Going in this district, since their recent pollti- cal stunt in stealing out poor Bill Kirby, after he had won the race and had defeated the senior and popular senator from Arkansas"
