FEDERAL GAME LAWS
IN FULL OPERATION
is OFFICIAL. ADVICES

WASHINGTON. D. c., April u
Many of the press comments on the
decision of the United States district
court rendered March 20, at Topeka,
Kansas, holding that the Federal Mi
gratory Bird law is unconstitutional,
according to the United States de-
partment of agriculture, are erroneous
and are apt to mislead the public con-
cerning the real situation in this mat
ter.
The Kansas decision, like former
decision to tie same effect in the
Eastern district of Arkansas, is limit
ed in its operation solely to the dis
trict in which 1t was rendered. Neither
decision. settles or nullifies the law,
and the exact contrary has been held
by the United States District court
for South Dakota. The Arkansas
case has been appealed to, and is now
Elko independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 1915-current, 1915-04-07

pending in the United States supreme
court. The act q congress protecting
migratory birds stands effective until
the supreme court finally decides the
question of It's constitutionality. In
the meantime, 1t is incumbent on
every law-abiding citizen to observe
its provisions and the regulations. 1t
is the duty Of the department of ag.
riculture to enforce this law and the
officials in charge will endeavor to
do SO as long as 1t is in force. Re
ports of violations will be carefully
investigated and when sufficient evi.
dence is secured they will be reported
for prosecution. In this connection
1t should not be forgotten that an Of
fender against this. as In the case OF
other United States laws, is subject
TO prosecution any time within three
years. from the date the offense is
committed.

all except two of the other twenty
six defendants in the election con-
spiracy case, who were found guilty
by jury in the federal court here to-
day, had returned to their homes to-

preparations for an appeal were be-
ing made by the attorneys for the
convicted men.
United States District Attorney
Daley, upon whom the burden of the
governments case has rested, left the
federal building few minutes after
the verdict was returned. He was ac-
companied by his wife, who has at
tended all the sessions of the trial. The
telephone in his office rang almost
continuously all day, persons calling
who said they wiched to congratulate
the district attorney.
The trial and the investigation which
preceded 1t has cost the government
approximately $4,000. The expense
for witnesses for the trial was esti-
mated at $4,000.
Only two OF the twenty.seven con-
victed men are in Jail here tonight
They are Alexander Aczel, alias Steel,
who was arrested some time ago, and
held under $4,000 bond on charge of
attempting to corrupt government wit
nesses and Timothy (Bull Conway,
who Just before the trial opened was
given a Jail sentence in local court
for carrying concealed weapons.
Severe penalties can be imposed.
The possible cumulative punishment
under the four counts of the infict.
ment is fines totaling $4,000 and Inn
prlsonment for nineteen years.
