GAME LAWS ROT Ten.
Topeka Hunter Says F1shexmen Have
All the Best OF II.

W. n. Culp of 2I3 East Seventh
Of Kansas are rotten
They do not give the true sports
man a square DEAL he says. land
hunting according to law is about as
hard a proposition as trying to catch
fish out of the Central park ponds
In fact, Mr.. Culp thinks that fish,
ing in any old pond In Kansas has the
edge on hunting and he is of the opin-
shown marked Partially towards the
knights of the rod while imposing
hardships on the gunner.
No license is required to fish any
where in the state. while there are
numerous Klrdens imposed on the
powder burning nimrods.
First, a hunter has to take out a liz
carry q gun. Then he is forbidden to
sk OF game on the public highways
and is liable to get into trouble if he
hunts on improved land without the
owners permission.
"Where, would like for some game
warden to tell me-" Mr.. culp says, sis
a man going to find unimproved land
Dodge City or the Colorado line ?'
But this isn't the only hardship
not by a blooming sight. In addition
to all Of this. the money that is de-
rived from the issuing of hunters IL
censes goes to the fish hatcheries and
to refilling the streams, while none of
it goes towards replenishing the game
supplies, and the fishermen don't re-
turn the favor in any way.
Here is what Mr.. Cu1p has to say
about the matter:
Does the state receive any revenue
from fishermen? No. Is it just that
the hunter should lay to keep up the
fish hatchery Of the state for those
who fish and give nothing for keep
ing up the same? No. it is not.
There are thousands Of hunters who
would gladly join in paying their Ii
cense if the revenue was spent in
stocking the state with game Of all
kinds and the fishermen were made to
pay a revenue, the same as those who
pay a license to hunt do
ut is the duty Of every sportsman
to urge upon his representative at the
coming session of the legislature to
see that a law is enacted that is just
to all. make the Isaac Waltons' help
def.ay the expenses of the upkeep of
the game and fish laws OF Kansas, and
see that as much revenue is spent in
stocking the fields as is spent on the
str AIMS and hatcheries. Also give us
thirty or fifty days Of shooting in
the spring on migratory fowls. which
can be done If all hunters get together
and demand it"

CUBA WANTS FIGHT.
Gibson Would Like to Stage Johnson
Willard Match in Havana.

New York, Jan. 6.-With the return
of Billy Gibson from Havana competi-
ton between Cuba and Mexico to
stage the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship fight between Jack johnson
and Jess Willard will assume lively
proportions. Gibson in Cuba obtained
permission of the Cuban government
to conduct boxing bouts. Only cham
pionship bouts will be staged and
rounds, probably to a finish.
according to Gibson the Cubans
want boxing, but the authorities
agreed to officially authorize the sport
with a view to attracting Americans
to Havana and other parts Of Cuba
during the winter months.
If Gibson is successful in securing
the JOhnsOn-Willard bout he will
stage it on Sunday, February %, at
Almendares Park, Havana, where the
Cuban championship games are
played. The seating capacity is to be
Increased to $4,000, which with 10, 900
standing room will enable $4,000 per-
sons to see the fight.
Should Gibson fail to land any
championship bouts this winter he
will postpone operations until next
winter. He will endeavor to sign
Walsh, Mcfarland, Shugrue, Clabby
and Gibbons. He does not expect to
put on more than three bouts this
winter, but, according to his conces-
sion, these must all be of champion
ship calibre. He will not attempt to
arrange contests between first and
second class men.

An astrological chart of the heavens
is said to indicate that matters of inn
portance in the Topeka baseball world
take place today about the noon hour.
AS is we'll known by now, matters of
great importance took place in the Chi
cago baseball world when the Federals
sprung the surprise of the season by
filing a suit in the United States court
charging organized baseball with being
| trust and asking that the National
commission be dissolved.
Not only this, but the petition asks
that almost everything else connected
with o. b. be dissolved Also, it makes
complaint about the term Outlaw"
being applied to the Federals and to
players Of the Walter johnson type be-
ing designated as contract Jumpers
1t is the general opinion of those who
opine that a victory for the Federals
in this suit would knock all the hide
and hair on Of organized baseball and
would cause a general all around
chaotic state Of affairs.
Ultimately. also, it would rebound to
the hurt of the Outlaws-beg pardon.
the Federals-because once peace is
made all club owners will be anxious
for all the trust powers they can
manipulate. 1t looks very much like

suit seriously and think there is a
chance of losing it, they will be pretty
apt to call around.

WORK NOT FINISHED.
Flour for Belgian Relief Awaiting
Shipment to New York.

Although the Hannah, known as
"Kansas Ship No. IT, sailed from New
York city with Kansas flour for the
starving Belgians. there are still many
carloads of flour to be shipped from
the state. The mills were slow in fill
ing orders and in some communities
collections have been delayed. since
last Friday $1.261.97 has been received
at the central office in the Mills build
ing from all sections of the state.
Charles F. Scott of lola accompanied
the Kansas ship which left New YORK
today.
Statement by Committee.
The central committee through w. X.
Stubs and Charles Dillon, secretary
has issued a statement which mas DeeH
sent to Kansas newspapers eXpIdlHiAe
the arrangement whereby MI Scotl
started for Belgium to represent tne
state. The statement is in part as foi-
lows:
1t should be stated here, emphatlcai-
~. that Mr. Scott goes to Belgium ana
will return entirely at his own expense.
Not one dollar of money contributed 10
the relief Of Belgium has been or VIII
be given to Mr.. Scott or anyone else LOT
such a purpose as is to be covered oy
the Journey across the Atlantic. w. K
Stubbs, chairman of the Kansas BEL
gian Relief committee, Ol0 not go u
New York with Mr. Scott because bust
mess prevented it. Mr.. Stubs will not
go to New York or to Belgium or to any
other point at the expense of the BEL
gium fund. This is set down emPnat-
ically so that Kansas men and women
who have contributed TO this fund may
know that their money will be used Tor
the purpose for which it is intended.
An auditor has been employed by the
committee md this auditor will. at the
proper time, make a complete account
ing publicly of every dollar received,
and at the same time show precisely
how every dollar was used.
The Kansas Belgian Relief committee
hopes the daily papers of Kansas will
be good enough to print the foregoing
statement in justice to Mr.. Scott and
to Chairman Stubs. The best proof
that Governor Stubs did not accom-
pany Mr.. Scott to Belgium perhaps
will be found in the fact that Mr..
Stubs is in Topeka while Mr.. Scott is
on the ocean. Proof that Mr.. Scott
makes this visit to Belgium on his own
funds will be supplied finally by the
auditor of the Belgian Relief Fund and
by Mr.. Scott.
Nearly $50 carloads of flour have
been shipped from Kansas for Belgian
relief. At New York prices that is
worth approximately 100000.
Recent Contributions.
Money still continues to be received
at the central office from all parts of
the state.
Following is a list of contributions
received in tho last few davS.

neighbors.

That man in the pew in front of us
destroys all my devotional and pious
feelings when he attempts to sing.
Couldn't you ask him to change his
pew"
The good pastor was sorely perplexed.
After few moments reflection he
said:
We'll, | naturally would feel little
delicacy on that score, more especially
as | would have to give reason. But

the pastors face became illuminated
with happy thought. Il might ask
