CAPE men MAY HUNT
ON RIVER This FALL.
Bird Law, Declared UncOnstitut-
ional, Will Come Up in Sup
RENE Court Oct. IL.

The law which forbids the shooting
of migratory birds on the Mississippi
River, may be declared void by the
United States Supreme Court IN time
to permit Southeast Missourians to en-
JOY their old-time privileges. This
statement was announced in Washing
ton yesterday.
A test suit brought by an Arkansan
by the name of Shaver will come up
in the United States Supreme Court
October II of this year. The case was
taken to Washington on an appeal
from decision handed down by
Judge Trieber held that the law was
unconstitutional. His contention was
that the Government could not enact
laws which would deprive citizen of
the right to hunt on Government
streams.
The appeal from that decision has
been taken by the Acknowledgement Of
the United States, who will appear in
defense of the law when the case is
tried.
The migratory bird act was signed
by President Taft, and it has been eff
fective two years. Doubt of it's con-
stitutionality has arisen, and there has
been violent opposition to its severe
structures in the preservation of
game.
1t destroyed spring shooting all over
the United States, and except for some
outlawry upon the part of persons who
took the risk of prosecution by the
Government, there has been wide
spread respect for its provisions.
The Government will chiefly rest its
case upon the argument that the mi
gratory birds are the property of all
the people and may not be slaughtered
at the will of any State.
This argument prevailed when the
bill was up for passage, and it pre-
vailed a second time when an appro-
priation was asked for its enforce
ment, Notwithstanding Senator Reed
of Missouri and others assailed the
law upon constitutional grounds.
The outcome at Washington will be
awaited with interest by Cape Girar-
deauans who almost abandoned duck
and goose shooting last year.

WOMEN AGREE TO GO
ON STAND WEDNESDAY
st. Louis Widow Tells Cape Bride
Their Husband Deserted
Her and Baby.

Sam McClatchey and his daughter,
| Frieda, returned from st. Louis this
morning, whittier they went to inter
view Mrs. Bryan G. Pratt No. 1 Mr..
McClatchey and his daughter held a
long conference with Mrs. Pratt, who
told them that she had never sued
Pratt for a divorce.
Mrs. Pratt is living with her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Sullivan, who
are well-to-do. Mr.. Sullivan is super
intendent of the City Insane Asylum
of St. Louis.
Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan and their
daughter will arrive in Cape Girar-
deau Tuesday, where they will remain
until the following day, when they will
go to Advance with Mr.. McClatchey,
his wife and daughter.
The two wives of Pratt, who will be
given a preliminary hearing in Adj
vance Wednesday afternoon, will ties
tify against him. The young women
met in st. Louis yesterday for the
first time. Each sympathized with the
other, and both were determined to
have Pratt punished.
Mr.. Sullivan offered to have an at
tOrney accompany them to Advance
to prosecute Pratt, but Mr.. McClat-
chey informed him that this would be
unnecessary as he had engaged a law
yer. Harry Z. Alexander of this city
will represent the two wifes at the
preliminary hearing Wednesday.
Mr.. McClatchey informed The Trib-
une this morning that he had obtained
variety of evidence which would be
used against Pratt at his trial.
A copy of Pratt's marriage certifi-
cate to wife No. will be presented to
the court Wednesday, He was mar
ried to his first wife, whose maiden
name was Miss Alvina Idelman, three
years ago. He lived with her until a
child was born. This was slightly over
two years ago. He mistreated his wife,
she told Mr.. McClatchey, and left
them without any warning.
Since that time he has never writ
ten to his wife or contributed a penny
to her support, the wife said. He never
displayed any affection for their baby,
which he has not seen since it was in
infancy.
Mrs. Pratt No. / denied the report
given out in St. Louis by Pratt's broth
er that Mrs. Bryan G. Pratt No. had
filed suit for divorce. She said she
had contemplated such action but that
proceedings had never been instituted.
In statement to friends Pratt said
he was so desperately in love with
Miss McClatchey that he could not
live without her He knew he was
guilty of a wrong, he said, but be-
lieves that his love for his second wife
justified his act.
Wife No. is Just as bitter against
her husband as is Ms. Pratt No. l.
She accompanied her father to St.
Louis and aided him in collecting in
formation against her husband. She
will testify against Pratt at the trial
Wednesday.
