SPORTSMEN PROTEST OVER
CONFLICT IN GAME LAWS
KENT COUNTY, CITIZENS CARRY
THEIR APPEAL TO GOVERNOR

Believe Conditions to be Unfair Be-
tween State and Federal Laws as
to Ducks and Migratory Birds
Because of the recent arrest, by
federal game agents, of several Kent
county gunners on the Delaware marsh
land who went cunning two weeks
ago for ducks under the laws of Della
ware, but claimed to be contrary to
the national game law, a delegation
of nearly fifty citizens of Dover and
vicinity waited upon Governor Town
send at the State House. They pro-
tested against the unfair conditions
existing, due to conflict between the
game laws of Delaware and the federal
migratory law. The delegation,
particularly, emphasized the fact that
the federal law grants the sportsmen
of New Jersey the right to shoot
ducks on October and does not give
Delaware an open season until thirty
days later. State Senator Charles M.
Wharton acted as spokesman Of the
meeting, and called the attention of
the governor to the fact that at the
last session of the General Assembly
a resolution was adopted to the effect
that. as the federal migratory law
conflicts with the state game laws,
the federal law should not be recogniz-
ed by this state. 1t was pointed out
by Dr. Wharton an others that Della
ware sportsmen did no want to violate
the game laws, but believed they
were being imposed upon by enforcing
one law in New Jersey and another
law in Delaware.
Governor Townsend assured the de-
legation that he would certainly take
the matter up with the proper authori-
ties at Washington and have existing
conditions remedied if possible.

our consideration 81 bills. in SO of

ignored eight. ''The labor question
seemed to be an important one with
the superintendent Of the almshouse,
and this body is unanimously of the
opinion that the criminals of Kent
county could be used to an advantage
on this farm. Instead Of sending our
criminals to the New Castle county
workhouse, why not parole them to
the trustee of the Kent county aims
house for use on the farm? And if
deemed necessary a few rooms might
be fitted up at the almshouse for the
care of such prisoners as should be
sent there. 'We found the property
and inmates absolutely without fire
protection and we recommend as
necessity one good we'll, with a 10, :
000-gallon water tank and eignt-horse
power gas engine, to supply all needs
for the family. inmates, stock, etc.,
