MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
STILL BEING ENFORCED
Agriculture Department Announces
Report Of Suspension in Certain
Sections Are Erroneous.

The Department of Agriculture is
enforcing to the best of its ability
the federal regulations under the
the effect that the department has sus-
pended such enforcement are errone-
Gus.
This is the substance of statement
which has been issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which states that
in the Mississippi valley and else
where erroneous reports are in circu-
lation that the law is not being en-
forced. Under the federal regulations
as they now stand the season on all
migratory wild fowl is closed until
next autumn throughout the United
States. Federal inspectors and war
dens are required. and others interest
ed in the protection of wild fowl are
requested, to report to the Department
of Agriculture all cases of violations
of the regulations in order that PROPER
action may be taken.
1.-The Department of Agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to par
don violations of the regulations" says
statement issued by the department
Doubtless the erroneous impression
has grown out of the tendency of liti-
cation involving the constitutionality
of the act Of Congress. approved March
4, 1918, unQer winch the regulations
were promulgated. The lower federal
courts disagreed as to the validity Of
the statute. and the issue was carried
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States. The case was argued in the
Supreme Court in October, 1915. but has
not been decided. Following the lower
court decisions. Congress appropriated
the enforcement Of the law. The De-
partment Of Agriculture is bound to re-
port to the DEPARTMENT of Justice vio-
1r%f of Ok
preme Court should declare the law
constitutional. All persons should.
therefore. be warned of the danger they
ulations."

uncomfortable man in the United States
tonight. He is perched on the limb of
a tree in the Des Moines river, seven
miles southwest of this city. and boats
cannot reach him because of floating
Ice. Thomas not only is marooned in
the dark. but his clothing is wet. and as
he has not eaten since noon he is as
sumed to be hungry.
The adventure which landed Thomas
in the tree cost the life of A F. Rom
NELL official engineer of Mahaska
county. The two men started out in a
skiff to dynamite an ice gorge. The
boat was capsized by big cake of ice
and Rommell was drowned. The river
