EdenbOrn Line uses Part
OF st. Louis Hotel For
New Depot.

Pres. VIM. Edenborn of the
Louisiana Railway Navigation
Co. make the interesting an
nouncement that the front of the
new passenger station in New Or
leans will be uiltout of the front
of the historic old st. Louis Ho-
tel, now in process of demolition.
The preservation of this architec-
tural souvenir off New Orleans
by the Edenborn Line was receiv
ed with rejoicing in New Orleans
and many expressions of graft
.tude to the Railroad company.
The Louisiana Historical Society,
the Association of Commerce and
other civic and patriotic organiza
tons are expected to formally
thank the management. Vice
Pres. B. M. Helm states that, as
a strictly Louisiana road the La.
Railway & Navigation Co was en-
abled to combine pleasure with
business in thus finding the mean
to accomplish the preservation of
the famous old hotel The fact that
the Edenborn Line is going to
have its own passenger terminals
in New Orleans is significant of
the development to a railroad
which operates wholly within
Louisiana. The depot will be only
a few blocks from the Illinois
Central-Southern Pacific uLion
Depot.

.ChangeSIn Game
Laws Announced
Alexander Is Commissioner Of COnseya
tFOR for New Department
DOLLAR LICENSE
BIGGEST FEATURE

= reappointed commissioner o.
: conservation, of changes MADE
IN the game laws at the recen'
meeting of the legislature. The
conservation commission is here
after to be Known as the depart
ment of conservation, and VII
be one commissioner instead OF
three, known as the commission
er of conservation. The new de.
partment will have all the duties
authorities, power. privileges
and jurisdiction of the former
commission.
The most important change
made, from the standpoint of the
sportsmen of Louisiana, was the
enactment of a uniform dollar
hunting license required of every
one hunting. This takes the
place Of the former statute, that
allowed free hunting in wards, a
50-cent parish license, and a So
statewide license. With the new
! law everyone going into the fields
or marshland with a gun must
have a license and the statewide
dollar license will permit hunting
in any part of the state save
parishes where special regula.
tions protect certain game for a
special closed seasons or on the
areas set aside for resting places
or refugees for the game.
Few changes were made in the
| open seasons for the hunting of
game birds, and the only ones SO
affected were quail, wild turkey
gobbIers, snipe and upland plover
or papabotte. The season for Bob
| White quail and turkey cocks
opens November Is and closes
March 1. The season for snipe
opens on November l, and closes
, March 15, thus Iengthening the
I shooting season for this favorite
/ game bird one month and per-
mitting shooting when these
! birds are most plentiful. For all
the other birds on the game
bird list-geese, ducks, night
herons, (gros-bec) rails, (mud
hens) gallinules, coots (poule
d'eau) sandpipers, (cherocks)
tattlers, curlews, plovers, doves
and red winged blackbirds, the
regular season prevails -Novem-
Der l to February Is.
A special closed season for
three years, to December 81, 1919
was enacted for the following
game birds: Prairie chickens,
killdeers, upland plovers, (papa-
botte) ring necked pheasants and
wild turkey hens. The law fur
ther provides that after 1919
; these birds may only be hunted
from November l to December 81
lof any year. Announcement
, was made by the department of
conservation in relation to the
passage of this special closed
season that all agents would be
given special orders to enforce
this act to the letter and bring
all offenders before the courts.
The legislature also repealed
| the law that permitted the kill
ling of sea gulIs during an open
season. The repeating of this act
now places these valuable sea
birds on the protected" list
with the other valuable insecti-
vorous birds of the state, and any
killing of sea gulls will lay the
violator open to the penalties
prescribed for the killing of nom
game birds.
No new laws We're enacted per-
tanning to the fur-bearing ami
mails or the various game animals
and the open seasons and regu.
lations in force for the past year
4 will apply for the coming hunting
seasons. The hunting Of Squirrels

Death of Allen N. Burg.

[2AN oGc1 W SSG' DuS a4IS
> Thou hast all seasons TO
: thine own, oh death.
: The above beautiful lines hav,
: come home to US this week in tn;
fullness of their meaning; and
{ again the feebleness and impo
tence of human effort when op
posed to divine decree has once
more been demonstrated, and
again our hearts wrung with sor.
row and our heads bow with
grief.
Relentless Death has once more
collected a heavy toll and left in
its wake saddened homes and a
sorrowing community.
On the threshold ofhis young
career, surrounded by all
that makes life dear and worth
living, a devoted young wife,
doting parents, many warm
friends and a future suffused
with the rose-glow of love and
happiness, Mr.. ALLEN N.
BURG, was stricken by the
powerful hand of death at. the
Presbyterian Hospital in New
Orleans Wednesday, August 2.
1916 after an illness of short dur
alton, and a spell of gloom and
sadness was cast over the en-
tire community where he was
universally loved and cherished
by every one whose happy lot it
was to have known him.
Deceased was a native of La
! badeville, La, and was only %
years of age at the time of his
sad demise.
He was one of the best known
!sawyers of Southern Louisiana,
and had been a resident of
Jeanerette. La, for a number of
years.
Impressive funeral services
were held at the st. Johns Ca
tholic Church in Jeanerette, La,
on Thursday, August 3rd., inst,
and the-large concourse of sor-
rowing relatives and sympathiz-
ing friends who followed the re-
mains to their last resting place
bore eloquent testimony to the
esteem in which Mr.. Burg was
universally held, and constituted
a fitting tribute to the memory
of such an upright young citizen,
faithful friend, doting young
| Husband and devoted son.
A tender loving young wife
, who has constantly stood by his
side through veal and woe, Is left
to mourn the loss of her loyal
helpmate, together with a kind
father, and bereaved mother,

besides Halligan, and Walter Camp
came all the way to Minneapolis to
look for aIl-America material among
Sprafka, Wyman and some Of the
other Gopher bone CTushers.
Camp found some all-America ma
terial, but the man who made the
impression was Bart Macomber, 1li-
nois halfback and captain, who out
punted the Gopher kickBmen. Ma
comber also smashed the heavy Min

es with deadly accuracy,
Illinois, licked by Ohio State, bare
" victorious over Purdue, whipped
Minnesota and did it impressively.
Last Saturday, between the hours of
2:30 and 4:3O, the Maize and Blue
was far superior to Minnesota. May
be the State eleven would not re-
peat, but there was no duke about
its victory, Minnesota lacked drive
in it's attack and it's linemen were
outcharged by the Him forwards.
Ohio State beat Wisconsin by the
margin of a goal after a touchdown,
the same way it beat Illinois. But
that one point is enough, and there
was no question of the superiority of
the Buckeyes over the Badgers.
At times during the game Wiscon-
sin turned loose an attack that was
irresistible, sweeping, Ohio aside in
march to the goal. But the smash
was not sustained. And Ohio showed
excellent handling Of the forward
pass and was successful in circling
the Badger wings.
Ohio won strictly on its merits.
Harley, who made both Ohio touch
downs and kicked both goals, looms
as the best individual open-feld run
ner of a Conference eleven. He has
speed and also runs with his eyes

CONFERENCE FOOTBALL RACE
UPSET BY SATURDAYS GAMES
BY Mark Shields

Withstanding the shock OF Satur-
DAVIS football results in the Confer
ence we are prepared for "dry" al
derman from the First ward. Sur
prises have lost their kick and most
anything can happen-and probably
will.
If at the start of the season any
one had limited that Northwestern
and Ohio States, two babies Of the
Conference, usually well satisfied
with one victory on the season,
would be fighting for top honors
along through the middle marches Of
November, Doc Hixon and his psy-
chopathic laboratory would have had
another case, But even Docs YER
dict would have been unnecessary to
determine that the prophet, II he had
twice as much brains as his state
ment indicated, would be almost
half-Witted.
Nevertheless, that Is just what is
happening. Northwestern has slashed
through Indiana and Chicago. It has
vet to meet Purdue and Iowa before
taking on Ohio State Nov. %. The
Buckeyes have smashed Illinois and
Wisconsin, each victory being taken
by a single point, and Indiana is to
be grappled with next Saturday.
Both favored eleVens should clear
away the Conference eleVens in their
paths and meet with clean states and
the confidence that comes only to an
eleven which has reached the turn Of
the road after many seasons Of dis
appointment and ignOminy.
Last Saturday morning Minnesota
and Wisconsin were stamped the
best eleVens in the west, There was
not a hint that either would be de-
feated until they came to grips later
in the season. Minnesota had re-
oeived so much comment that even
ca3terners were about ready to adj
