UNLAWFUL TO KILL
DUCKS BEFORE DEC.

Some of the Districts highly famed and
famous duck hunters are longing for De-
cember 1 to drift around so that they
may be able to put their decoys out and
take a range at a black mallard. blue
winged teal, or a canvassback. as under
the present laws duck hunting in the Dis
trict is prohibited until that date.
Although some OF the leading local duck
hunters, which include DR.. Ford. Frank
Huseman. Joe Crouch. Jimmy Reynolds,
and DR.. Barnes vouch that the winged
darters are few and far between on the
Potomac this season. Maj. Pulman's s
''finests' and the game wardens of the
neighboring counties will enforce the new
law, which was layed down by Congress
two years ago and which is now a ma
tional law.
Under the old District law duck hunt
ing was allowed in this vicinity from
September ! to April l. but this year,
however, the government authorities have
taken the stand that the local police
should enforce the nationa. regulation In
place OF the District law.

An appeal was made to the Supreme
Court yesterday by attorneys represent
ing H. f. Filler. of Greensburg, Pa,
convicted Of murder in the first degree
and under sentence of death. The date
OF the execution had been set for Mon
day, but was moved forward to Novem-

In line with the increase in the wages
of many classes of employees at the navy
yard which took effect last Saturday,
the Navy Department authorized further
increases yesterday in the wages of
master mechanics and foremen.
The pay of Michael. A. Lynch and
Charles ri. Robinson. the only general

Draugh'tsmen Complain.
Navy yard mechanics have less to
complain of. as regards wages. than
the Washington Navy Yard. an Official
of the navy yard branch of the Ameri-

yesterday.
While the group Of draughtsmen at
the navy yard Is small" said the
Official. the designs of the men furnish
the mechanics with material to work.
Upon the accuracy of their calculations
the strength and efficiency OF the
ordnance material and the ships de-
pends. and yet the pay Of the mechanic
has advanced % per cent since 1905.
while the pay Of the draughtsman has
remained stationary.
The resignation OF Is per cent Of the
force last year attests that much dis
satisfastion exists. The recent increase
In mechanics wages has increased the
discomfort. and unless there is a raise
in pay for the draushtsmen 1t Is likely
that designations will multiply.
The draughtsmen at the navy yard
are paid less than draughtsmen who do
the same work for other bureaus. In
addition those at the navy yard receive
but the annual and sick leave granted
to the draughtsmen in other departments

Is due largely to carelessness and non
observance of fire regulations. The Wash

morning. called attention to this condl-
ton and the Fire Prevention Day obserV-
ance' which has been started to educate
the people in precautionary measures.
Officials study Problem.
District officials have been studying
the local situation here for months. par
ticularly with view to accounting for
,hc recent horizontal increase III local
insurance rates brought about by the
rate agreement cled by the District
Fire Underwriters Association. They
have virtually determined to ask Con-
gress for the enactment of measures
which will make it possible for them to
bring home to householders and property
owners the responsibility for careless
ness.
The following statute. which Dis
trict officials are seriously thinking of
urging at the next Congress. has been
enacted and tried elsewhere with very
results. 1t seeks to force
the property owner to take all neces-
sary fire prevention measures. 1t pro-
vidcs:
THAT in all actions against any per-
son, company or corporation for the
recovery o. damages on account Oh
any loss or injury to any property.
real or personal. occasioned by fire
communicated from property owned
by one party to property owned by
another party. the fact that such fire
was SO communicated shall be suf-
ficient evidence to charge the occupant
of the property in which the fire origi-
mated with negligence. and place the
burden of proof Of due care upon him.
and in case Of recovery of damages,
any insurance at the time of such
fire upon the property owned by the
occupant of the building in which the
fire originated shall first be used to
pay the loss and damage of the pro-
perty destroyed by reason of such
communication; provided. that this act
shall not apply to lightning fires,
nor incendiary fires for which the oc-
cupant is in no way responsible.

OPPOSES RUSSIANS ENTRY.
Solicitor General Holds Immigra.
tion Order Not Renewable.

A brief was filed by the solicitor
general yesterday in the cases of Ali
Gegiow and Sabas Zarikoew, two Rus
slams who were excluded from the
United States by New York immigra-
ton authorities on the ground that
there was no prospect that they could
secure employment on the Pacific Coast
for which they were destined.
The exclusion rested upon the
ground that they might become pub
lie charges. The Russians appealed
to the courts which hold that an
order of the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton was not renewable in the
courts 1t was this contention that
Solicitor Davis seeks to uphold in the
brief filed.

The Boys Chance.

It is said that opportunity
 knocks once at every mans door, It is knocking now at the doors of every farmer boy &n Drew county, or every one who expects to follow the avocation of farming. Owing to the war in Europe, and the uncertainty of land investment enterprises the value of lands have greatly fallen here, and you can buy a farm in:Drew county now for one half what it would have cost you two years ago. The situation Is not going to be always thus, nor even for a great length of time. Just as soon as the war ends land spectators and home-seek- CTS will again cast their eyes in this direction, and the boom in land will be on once more, and the boy, of the homegrown va. riety, will then be left out in the cold, and, instead of being his own landlord and master, will have to become the share -cropper or renter of another. There are now, perhaps, one thousand young men in Drew county who do not own an acre of land; most of whom could and should. Now is the time to buy. Do not put it off a day.

We Got their Goat.

The last Game between War ren and Monticello, for the sea- on, was played at Warren last Thursday, and was won by Mon ticello, in shut out of Warren, by the score of 3 to 0.
 Chambers, Monticello's crack pitcher, only allowed two hits, while the Monticello boys swip- ed seven hits off Gannaway, Warren's main pitcher, one of,them being Q two bagger and one a three bagger, which some thought could have been squeez- ed into home-run, had not the coach stopped the batter at 3rd base. This long drive was ma de by Horatio Wells, our first base man.
 While Warren is, as matter of course, highly elated over winning the pennant, it is sadly grieved in getting shut out in it's last game on the home grounds.

Arkansas City, McGehee, Hamburg and Crossett willapply for admission to the Southeast Arkansas Ball League next seas on. That Southeast Arkansas will have Ball League next summer is a foregone conclusion :; but this seasons experience will cause more method in its ar rangement. A Board of Man agers should be selected whose duty it shonld be to name the Empires, and these Empires should be men of standing and unimpeachable character. All games should be won on skill a. lone and not by any sort of ging- ling. Another thing that should be adopted is, that each town en- tering the League have its entire proceeds of the games and each town absolutely support its own team. 1t is unfair to city that patronizes the game to help keep up the team of another place which does not take enough in terest in the game to even pay the travelling expenses of the visiting team.
