NEW GAME Law
NOT DEFECTIVE
Senator Futrell Says Friends o
Measure Did Not Ask For
Specific Appropriation.

The following statement was made
this morning by Senator j. NJ
Futrell, author of the new game law,
in explanation of news item ap-
pearing yesterday to the effect that
the measure is defective because no
appropriation was made to pay the
game wardens and others charged
with it's enforcement:
From a report in the CONNER
cial Appeal" said Senator Futrell,
sit appears that some people think
they have found a defect in the
present game law, in that no appro-
priation was made, and that fo-
this reason the license fund will ac-
cumulate in the treasury and can
not be drawn out; that wardens can
not be procured to render any serv-
ice when it will be impossible for
them to draw pay The friends of
the measure were we'll aware that
no appropriation was being made,
and really do not think it is neces
sary to do so in view of the fact
that no definite idea could be OBJ
tanned as to how much money will
accumulate, and the appropriation
laws must specify the amounts ap-
propriated in dollars and cents.
This is a constitutional requirement.
1t was purposely provided that all
license fees should be paid into
the state treasury. Certainly the
man who issues the license should
not be allowed to receive the mon
ey, as this would destroy any check
ing or accounting system, and it is
temptation todishonesty.
Under the law passed in 1913
the governor can issue proclamation
and vouchesr may be issued against
the funds which will be handled
with little or no discount
at ALL There will be no trouble on
this account. The failure to make
an appropriation was not an over
sight, either
Il also notice in the papers that
it is stated that it is now against
the law to fish with hook and line
or with a trot line. This is mis-
take. 1t is not against the law to
fish with a hook and line at any
time

er and another young white man by
the name of Burdyshaw, sons. Of.
we'll known farmers residing nort
of Nettleton, were placed in JAR
here Friday night on charge of
breaking into and robbing an Iron
Mountain merchandise car while a
through freight train was on the
siding Friday night. The officers
were on the lookout and had men
stationed near. One discovered
some men going from car, and
upon investigation it was found
that the seal on the car had been
broken and a cask of bottled beer
had been taken. They instituted
search, and soon located the above
men, with three others, who made
good their escape. The men arrest
ed at first refused to give their
names, but they were known, and it
is known who the others are, and
their arrest is expected in a short
time. An automatic revolver,
searchlight and other things suited
to this class of business was found
on the men captured.
The men who escaped are sale to
be sons of prominent citizens of the
county.

Discomfort

A remarkably outspoken article IN

The article contains the boldest
plea for peace ever permitted to be
nrinted in Germany since the begin

German government to state denim
tely the object of the war, saying;
We are told it is the others VINO

ness and frankness may be CONSIDERED
as signs CT weakness.
The sole outlook in sight, there,

the complete exhaustion OF all. IL
this is to be prevented, the belllgerent
governments must leave the regions
Of generalization and seek a positive
program.
Neither England nor France shows
desire of yielding. All talk of peace
as far at least as France and Eng
land are concerned, is absolutely
without foundation. The leading
statesmen of France and England are
as firmly determined as is the I'M
