DIR NEW GAME LAWS
4 Synopsis of the Provisions of
The New Law prepared by
Its Author, Senator j.
M. Futrell.

1.-THE federal law regulating
the killing of migratory fowls,
hermit the shooting of ducks
and geese from October l to and
including January Is. The same
law prohibits the shooting Of
ducks and geese before sunrise
and after sunset each day. 1t is
also unlawful, under the federal
law, to shoot ducks or geese on
or over the Mississippi river from
Minneapolis, Mimi, to Memphis,
Tenn, at any time of the year.
The Mississippi river, between
the two cities mentioned, is
practically a game preserve for
migratory fowls. Heretofore it
has been the custom to kill thous-
ands of ducks and geese by hid
ing behind blinds on islands and
sandbars and by the use of boats.
Under the new federal law this
is absolutely prohibited. No
shooting of any kind can be in
dulged in on Big Lake, which has
been made refuge for migra-
tory fowls.
Under the State law there is
bag limit Of Is ducks for
each man per day. 1t is unlaw-
full to sell ducks either at home
or through shipment to other
points either within or without
the state. No license is required
to kill ducks or geese.
The open season for deer, un-
der the provisions of the new
state game law, is the last 20
days in November, all of Decem-
Der and the first 10 days in Jan
uary. This means the first sea-
son opens on November IL and
runs to and including January
H. An annual license of one
dollar must be paid by those de-
slrlng to hunt deer. All licenses
expire on December 81 of each
year. Thus, if a license is Sc
cured now to hunt deer the IL
cense will hold good until Jan
uary |, 1917. If the party Sc
curing the license desires to hunt
ueer during the first 10 days in
January another license must be
secured, which license holds good
until December 81, 1916.
ms is true of the license re-
e Tor trapping, fishing and

MAN TWO deer in any one season.

which spanned the numerous gulchcs
between the two towns have been
burned by brigands who have roved
through the country during the last
two years. These bridges have not
been repaired, but temporary tracks
have been laid on improvised roadbcds
in the gulches themselves. These
tracks cannot stand any very heavy

Equipment OF the road is also poor,

Militant Scotch Preacher
Says No Board Can Have
Authority Over Him
ASKS FOR SUPPORT

Leaders of Deacons and Trustees
Admit Slight Irregularity"
Has Blown Over.

The Rev. Or. Joseph ". Kemp. who
vss reported yesterday 20 have re-
signed from the psstorate OF the Call
vary Baptist Church after a disagree
ment with the board OF trustees, was
still as militant last night as sn Eng
lish sufrasist, and received reporters
with q distinctly Scotch accent
He announced that no board % tea-
cons nor trustees had any authority
over him, but that he had decided 20
continue in the pastorate Of the Cal
vary Baptist Church. provided the cor
gregation give unqualified assurance Of
its whole-hearted support.
DR.. Kemp was brought 20 the Calvary
Baptist Church by wireless "cal..'
He arrived in New York last October
and said then that his Charlotte Chapel
congregation in Edinburgh had pre-
dcted that he would tire Of America
in SIX months. They promised that
during those six months they would 20
without regular pastor and wait Tor
him 10 return. The six months are up
next Saturday.
All Quiet, Says Trustee Head.
After the Slight irregularity' al
Monday night, special meeting, at
which the congregation put its O. X.
on a truste who was under investiga-
ton. committee representing the con-
gregation visited DR.. Kemp at his home
Tuesday night, and urged that he con-
tinue in the pastorate.
The committee presented Dr.. Kemp
a set of resolutions passed BY the cor
gregation which declared; I'VE most
enthusiastically and heartedly pledge
our loyal and unqualified cooperation
and support ir the work of the church"
Colonel Eugene II. Conklin, president
OF the board OF trustees, Said last
night: Everything ia lovely now; it
has all blown over. You can say that
DR.. Kemp will stay with US" Ora b..
Coates. chairman OF the board OF dea-
cons, said that ne was not at the trou-
blesome Monday night meeting, but
that he was certain DR.. Kemp would
stay.
A friend Of the church. who has q
peculiar opportunity for knowing the
inside Of things. said last night that
the trouble uas all over zone little
man. who is not little physically" This
man wanted 20 run the church. he said,
and when he found he could not, de-
te!mned 70 make trouble.
ITO tell you the truth said Ire
Tribune's informant, 81 think that this
man will soon be dropped from the

here and unaccustomed TO Americas

Limited Use of Road

San Antonio, Ter. March 29.-Gen-
eral Carranza's permission 10 ship sup
plies over the Mexican Northwestern
Railroad 70 the troops in Mexico was
received a. General Funston's head
quarters with every sign Of rejoicing,
but this manifestation Of pleasure was
tempered by the news that the sup

nected with the army. II was s; that
within a few hours the stores ilst the
Quartermaster's Department had been
accumulating at RI Psso could be billed
10 points along the Northwestern, once
the official sanction was given.
Disappointment OF staff officers at
headquarters was unconcealed. They
had expected the Mexican government
10 give unqualified consent 10 the use
Of the Northwestern. The permission
70 ship supplies officially as CONNER
cial freight consigned TO some one not
directly connected with the army and

inadequate.
The first shipment will be sent from

distributed by motors and wagon trains

have spent millions Of dollars annually
20 promote competition among cor

relatively insignificant amount was
made to cover the purchase Of ma

and repair parts, as well as to pay the
