First "Game Iaw.n

The first game law" for the proteo Hon of wild animals and birds yas enacted i- 106S hy William the Con- Qucror. This decree of tho Norman king was called forest law. but it's principal purpose was the preserva, ton cf game. Forfeiture of property was made a penalty for killing CT dis- ebling any kind of will beast, while the slayer of a stag, buck or boar. If convicted. had his eyes put out These laws. of course, applied only to the masses. since the royalty and no sility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased. in fact. the princt pal purpose of the pioneer "game law was to provide sport for the few. The nrst parliamentary game law ln Eng land was passed fn 1496. Game lava tn America have become increasingly strict of late years. but they were adopted tho late to save many species, notably the buffalo. from almost com. Dlete extinction.

DECAMPS WITH
 QUANTITY OF MEDICINE

pr. L. E. Campbell sent about $40 worth of drugs and medicine to Dr. Joe Campbell at Grady Friday after noon, but the drugs were not deliver cd and the messenger is now being hunted.
 There was need for haste in get ting the drugs to Grady, and there being no express car on the train, Dr. Campbell sought soEe passenger who was going that far, and who would take the medicines over. A negro who gave his name as Sam Bailey volunteered his services, and was given the packa ges.
 Dr. Joe Campbell met the train at Grady, but despite many enquiries, could learn nothing Of any drugs being sent him. The messenger is believed to have decided tc continue his journey beyond Grady. taking the drugs with him. A visit to McGehee yesterday by r. L. E.

New York, Sept. 11.-Along about the sixth round of the exhibition be- tween Packy Mcfarland and Mike Gibbons, loud-voiced man let forth a roar that reyerberated .-ver the big gest crowd that ever saw a fistic event in Am merica.
 "Gents,' said the man, hoarsely, "this is a grand picture show. but l came to see fight
 And from the murmur that re- sponded to his cry it was apparent that many others present echoed those sentiments. The Mcfarland boxing exhibition, and certainly it contained nothing that could offend the finer feelings of any of the thousands of women present, but as fight it was not much. It Was a ten-round, no decision affair, and no decision would be about correct, but if a decision must be given, draw is not unfair to either man.
 They were both on their feet and fighting at the finish. There hat been no damage inflicted on either SlQe, ana nelIHef man uGu ally uIS- tinct advantage, at any stage of the cont test.
 Perhaps Mcfarland should have the decision for the showing that Mike Gibbons made as compared to his previous form, especially when it is considered that the Chicagoan was doing a comeback after two years retirement.
 Mcfarland got s17,5oo for this match. Gibbons received S15,000. They got the cash in advance. No phase of championship was involv- ed. Mcfarland was a supposed light weight when he was at his best, while Gibbons rates as a middle weight. As sporting proposition, few critics ever saw justification for the match, save as mOney-malSer, and it got the money from the public tonight.
 There were more than 50,000 people present, among them thousands of women. The receipts exceeded S1G0,- 900.

RAID UPON SUEz
CANAL THWARTED
Discover Ship Building
Plant In Palestine and Turn
Guns Upon 1t, Destroy
ing Works.

Paris. Aug. ia plan for an at
tack on the Suez canal is said BY the
ministry of marine today to have been
detected and thWarted. Announcement
was made in he following statement:
On August -. after warning had
been given to the governor of Jaffa
and time given for the evacuation
of the vicinity, a French cruiser bonn
barded and destroyed the principal
building of the shops of the German
Wagner. which were making arms and
ammunition and constructing boats
designated for an attack on Suez canal.
The houses in the vicinity were not
damaged"
Jaffa. in southern Palestine. Asiatic
Turkey, is about $50 miles northeast
OF Port Said, al the Mediterranean end
of the Suez canal. In Jaffa is a large
foundry owned by Wagner brothers.
Inc French marine ministry's COM
munication leaves in doubt the ma
ture of the expedition said to have
been planned against the canal. 1t
would be obviously impossible to con-
struct at Jaffa a naval force OF suf-
flc,ent strength to cope with the war
ships of Great Britain and France in
those waters, and it might be Inferred
that small vessels were being built for
a raid, depending upon secrecy and
speed for the success Of the adventure.
The Suez canal was attacked by the
Turks earlier in the war. An army
was sent to Egypt last winter and in
there was some fighting near
the canal. The main forces Of the
turks, however. did not reach their
goal.

Paris, Aug. 14.-An official commu-

"On the Gallipoli peninsula British
forces since August 6 have been debark-
ing successfully et a point near the
Bay Of Suvla, On the west side Of the
peninsula. They have made progress
at a point further to the souea in the
vicinity of Gaba Tepe. Here, after some
severe fighting. these forces were sue
cessful in gaining a footing on the
slopes of the height of Sari Basir. They
took more than $50 prisoners and cap
tured nine machine guns. The opera
lions at this point continue to progress.
AT the south end of the peninsula
the efforts of the Turks to penetrate
u lines all resulted in failure. On the
9TH of August we made some slight
progress. Since this date the activity
on the French trent has consisted main
ly in artillery fighting. with marked adj
vantage for our batteries"

EXCHANGE RATES
ARE DEM0RAL|zED
More Acute Conditions Result
From Further Declines In
London and Paris
Money.

New York. Aug. 16.-More acute con-
dltions attended today's foreign ex-
change market, with new low records
fo- bills on London and Paris. Demand
sterling fell to 4.691a, against yester-
Gays low level of 4.7OA, and Paris
checks were quoted at $50, a loss of a
cent from yesterday.
The market was SO demoralized that
dealers in exchange had the greatest
difficulty in keeping themselves posted
on rates, Quotations in different bank
ing houses varied all the way from /
to 3 points on the remittances to Lon
don and Paris. After the close of the
market it was said that one of the
largest banking institutions in this city
mad sold London bills as low as 4.69.
The rate quoted for other European
countries showed no marked changes
from yesterday. In point of fact quo
tations for all continental exchange,
other than that on Paris, We're merely
nominal. Offerings on London and
Paris were relatively light, but it was
said that further large amounts of
these remittances would be offered dur-
ing the coming week. All present in
dicationts point to lower quotations
unless British n French credits are
soon established here.
SO far as could be learned no prog
ress was made today in negotiations
having for their object the establish
ment Of further foreign credit or loans

considering important recommended

There is probably ground for con-
lectures that the recommendations in

minimum price for wheat for a ,riod
n enough to justify them in putting

whether this step is worth taking must
depend to some extent on the view

Owing to the magnitude of wheat
lmportations from America the action
OF the cabinet on the recommendations
OF the commission probably will have
considerable bearing on the overseas
