Court Case Still Pending.

Friends of the migratory bird law are
wondering what effect the negotiation
of such a convention with Canada will
have upon the outcome of the case now
before the United States Supreme
Court, in which the constitutionality of
the migratory bird law is called into
question. Not long ago the Supreme
Court ordered that the case be rear
gued again before it, indicating that
it had divided over the constitutionality
Of the law.
The case has aroused a vast amount
of interest for the Mclean law has a
great many friends in this country.
Many societies interested in the preser-
walton of bird life. such as the Camp
Fire Girls of America, have followed
the case through counsel and have
filed briefs. The court has been be-
sieKed with letters both for and against
the law. 1t is generally conceded that
the attempt to regulate the flights of
birds between states as Interstate
commerce presents an entirely new
question The case will be heard, 1T is
said, when there is full bench.

H. W. Hand Asks Him Whether
He Represents Only Himself
in Attacks.

H. W. Hand, chairman of the Water
Power Development Association, has is
sued challenge to Clifford Pinchot
to state to the public whether he
represented any one beside himself when
as a water power grabbing measure and
criticised the President for having sub
mitted to its passage by the Senate.
WAS not the Presidents action
rather reflection upon your arraiSn-
ment of the measure than an evidence
he had surrendered to the water power
monopolists" said Mr.. Hand in his chal-
lenge. which was contained in tele-
gram addressed to Mr.. Pnchot.
Mr.. Hand said that the association
which he represented was composed of
some 600 manufacturers. employing
400. 600 men, and that while it was sup
porting no particular water power Dill
it was eager to have some legislation
enacted which would permit the de-
velopment of water power.
Asks Other Questions.
He asked Mr. Pinchot if it were not a
fact that the National Conservation
Congress had repudiated Mr.. Pinchot as
its spokesman. and had pointed out that
the National Conservation Association.
of which Mr. Pinchot is member, has
no connection with the congress He
also asked Mr.. Pinchot who authorized
him to speak for the National Conser-
