financial position of this country
were the further sharp decline in ex
change on London to SASSY, the low

and the further rise in the wheat

figure reached in the spectacular

testimony of banking houses that

Il. n; were fled against six
'ccal Ii, liners by Harry Barmeier,
federal game inspector, charging them
with having In their possession
aigrette plumes, contrary to the
state law The aigrette comes from
a protected bird and it is misde-
meanor under the law to have any

birds In ones possession.
Those against whom informations
we're filed are: Miss Lena Hammes,
Miss Maggie King, Miss NJ. E. Num-,
Miss Alma Davidson, Leon c. KARL

secured his evidence by visiting the
stores named in the information and
inluiring for the pluines. The in
formations were sworn out this aft
ernoon and accompanied by state
officer, Mr. Barmeier visited the
stores to serve the informations.
The offense with which these peo-
pie are charged comes under section

. IN the local case is the clause which
states: mo part of the plumage
skin or body Of any bird protected by

Mr.. Barmeier said that he had
been shown the plumes this morning
