A scant quorum of senators spent

Among the bills so advanced we're the
Porter bill providing for the printing

proved were:
The Troutman bill requiring the
state auditor to register bonds of cities

The Gray bill authorizing certain
cities to purchase and sell parks. This

TOPEkANS IN PROTEST
r. T. Willette ana A. NJ. Corp Against
Fish and Game Law.

Topeka spOrtsmen are framing a
petition against the final passage by
the legislature Of the bill which went
through the senate this week which
they claim throws the bars down to
the fee use of seines in all Kansas
streams. That the senate unwilling
ly spoiled the rigid fish protection laws
of the state in it's efforts to further
fortify them, is the claim made by r.
T. Willette and A. NJ. Corp of this city
who are now circulating the petition.
THE senate bill repeats the prohi-
bition against the practice Of fishing
near the mouths OF streams and un-
der dams and let's anybody use q two
inch seine who wants to without any
hindrance," declared Mr.. Willette to-
day. II don't believe the legislature
intends to do 1t, but IL this bill IL
passed in the shape 1t left the senate
it will mean the end Of fish protec-
ton in Kansas. Where the old law
permitted the restricted use of three
inch mesh seines under a bond. the
proposed law will let anybody hunt
fish with a finer seine still.
.Sportsmen who want protection for
their game ought to line up for the
defeat of the so-called williams bill.
It was introduced with the object OF
stopping the practice of 'hogging' or
catching fish by hand during the
spawning season. as well as to permit
SEEMING below the Lawrence Kaw dam
and in the Missouri river. But the
amendments that were shot into IL
have ruined all the fish protection
laws we have. The only good thing
about the bill is that it appears to be
SO drawn as to be unconstitutional and
don't believe 1t would be effective
If finally passed. But we hope to be
able to show the house OF representa-
tives where it will be better to kill
the Williams bill outright. The state
is spending thousands annually on 6
fish hatchery but now proposes tC
throw down the bars to the market
fishermen. We're against it."

DON'T LIKE THE BILL.
shawnee Bar Association Protests
Against Wabaunsee Annexation.

Just to remind the Kansas law
makers that they are not in Iavor OF
the bill which will come before the
legislature soon to annex WaDaunsee
county to the Shawnee county district
court, an informal meeting OF the
Shawnee County Bar association was
held this morning in the second di-
vision court room. George McDer-
mott acted as chairman of the infor-
NAL meeting.
A motion to appoint Senator Trout
man and Representatives Bird and
stone to recommend that the bill be
speedily added to the legislative list
was adopted by the lawyers. Clad
Hamilton and Ed McKeever were ap-
pointed to carry tidings of the result
of the meeting to Troutman, Stone
and Bird.
The legislative bill will be put be-
fore the legislature in an effort to cut
down the number of district judges in
the state. Wabaunsee county is now
in a circuit with other counties in the
state.
should the BILL to which the law
yers take exception go through it will
mean that one of the district judges
of Shawnee county will have to go to
Wabaunsee county three times each
year.
District court work is exceptionally
heavy in Shawnee county and the an
nexation of Wabaunsee would of
course tend to pile more work on the
Shawnee Judges.
