Buying Skins Without License.

On complaint of Chief Game Warden
Bertrand Smith, representing the COM
mission of inland fisheries and game,
Ernest Stewart of Clinton was ar
raigned Friday morning before Judge
Lancaster of the municipal court to
answer to the charge of violating the

holding a license permitting him to do
SO. Stewart admitted that the charge
was a true one and the court imposed
a sentence of $40 and costs hut the
sentence was suspended because of
conditions surrounding the respondent
and his family.
Two other cases were heard by the
court during the morning session, the
charge in both being intoxication, and
in each case the respondent was al
lowed to go upon the payment of costs.

Louisiana Democrats Reject Statewide
Prohibition in Primary Election by
Nearly $4,000 Majority.

New Orleans.-Liquor has won in
the Democratic estate primary in Lou.
siana by a majority ranging from 90.
600 to $4,000. The figures are esti,
mates.
The city Of New Orleans has gone
wet by at least 20 900 majority,
In the 63 county parishes the issue
was close In many and in others the
drys have won by good leads, but not
enough to overcome the heavy ma.
porities for the vets in the city Of New
Orleans and in the Creole parishes
of South Louisiana, which have never
gone dry"
For the first time in Louisiana poll
tics prohibition became a direct issue
In this nominating primary when T.
{. Barrett of Shreveport declared for
an extension Of the present local op-
ton unit from the parish to the con-
gressional unit and for the submission
Of the statewide prohibition to a vote
of the people within four years.
RuffIn L. Pleasant, alsv of Shreve-
port, has made his campaign on the
platform with the county parish as
the unit, and against statewide pro.
hibition. His platform demanded an
Endorsement OF the present status of
liquor legislation in this state.
This put the issue squarely up to
the people.
The National Anti.Saloon League
sent several speakers to the state.
The vote indicates a slump in the
Democratic vote OF probably 8 $1,000,
that number remaining out of the pri.
mary and keeping themselves free to
enter the general election and vote
for John NJ. Parker, the Progressive
candidate for governor.

CONSUMPTION FINDS FAVOR
Compulsory Military Bill Passes the
Houes of Commons for Last Time
With Increased Majority.

London.-The military service bill
has passed the third reading in the
House of Commons by a vote Of 1888
to SO.
The bill was Immediately sent to
the House of Lords aud given it's first
reading. The second reading will be
taken in the House of Lords at once.
The fact that the minority against
the bill was virtually only a third of
its first reading is considered a great
triumph for Premier Asquith and for
Andrew Bomar-Law, who directed its
course, and although the debate show
ed that many labor members are still
suspicious there is no doubt that gen.
eral opposition to the measure has d.
minished enormously since its intro.
duction. and that the feeling Of the
country is strongly with the govern
ment.
Mr.. Bonar-Law, in his speech wind.
ing up the debate, remarked on the
wonderful change since the first read.
ing Of the bill, which. he said, was e
compromise between those who
thought that it went not far enough
and those who believed it went too
far.
The government accepted an amend.
ment that capital punishment should
not be inflicted for refusal to obey
a call to the colors.
