ALL ERRORS COR. RECTED IN GAME AND
 FlSH COMMISSION
New Bill Permits NOn-Residents to Fish and Hunt and Take Game HOme-Theft Register ed Dog Grand Larceny.

All errors in the bill creating the Game and Fish Commission which have shown themselves in the past two years, have been corrected in the new game and fish commission bill passed by the Assembly the past week. The new bill will permit non-residents to hunt and fish in Arkansas, by payment of license of S15 for hunting and S5 for fishing, and only one trip per year may be taken into the state. The nonresident may also take home the fish he catches. A closed season on deer with antlers less than inches in length, beaver, otter, turkey hens, pheasant, grouse, prairie chickens, woodcock, turtle dove and robins, is also provided for term of five years
 The market fisherman is also more closely restricted than under the old law>- He must pay $25 for fishing with nets, $10 for fishing with trot lines, and S5 for every assistant. The dSdlIi NiO DuNo IllS llSll hCGp book showing his purchases, and keep it open at all times for inspection by the gaem wardens. The dealer must pay 1-16 of l per cent on each pound of fish purchased, into the game fund.
 Game fish is proteced so that any thing less than II inches in length in jack salmon, pike and black bass must be thrown back into the water, and less than inches on trout, crappie white perch and striped bass, and 6 inches on sunfish. The limit on chan nel catfish and drum is ? pounds, and carp and buffalo, 8 pounds.
 Dynamite and drugs are barred, as is the high powered rifle. The annual bag limit on deer is two, bear one, and four turkeys. The danly limit or scuirrel is 15, pheasants, grouse prairie chicken, when they may be killed. is 5. Twenty quail, duck and
The Prescott daily news., 1917-02-19

doves may be killed in one day Twenty-Five is the limit on trout, bass, crappie and white perch, for one day.
 Hunting dogs are protected, and the theft of one that is regstred is considered grand larceny, and it is also grand larceny to initiate l. cense tag, or change one.
 The game commission has power to make rules regulating shipment of game, and will permit fish to be shipped out for stocking streams of other states. The commission is also empowered to appoint and dismiss wardens at will, who shall have au- thority to make arrests in any county while in the pursuance of their duties.
 Representative Baldi Vinson, an ardent sportsman, gave the House a very exhaustive synopsis of the bill in explaining it's good features, and de- clared that Arkansas has lost S3,- 07S,333 worth of game in the 20 months preceding June, 1916, through the shipment of game from the state He declared that 20,000,000 pounds of | fish have been sent to foreign states to market, which, at an estimated value of 10 cents per pound, was the loss of $2,000,000. He figured that | 10000 barrels of duck have beer shipped from the lakes of East Arkau- sas in this time, and each barrel con tained an average of 90 duck, making the total 6,300,000. Seventy-fve per cent of this was shipped out by non- resident hunters, according to Mir Vinson. Ninety deer were saved dur ing the waters in East Arkansas last year by game wardens, stated Mir. Vinson.
 In closing his argument, Mir. Vinson stated that Maine is receiving from game licenses enough each year to pay the expenses of all departments of state government. He asserted | that California is receiving from the same source S450,000 per annum, and that Arkansas in 1915, in spite of the laxity of the laws, received $1S,0O0, and only S10,000 of this was necessary to maintain office and field forces.

if a test case is carried to the Su- preme Court. These authorities do not class the appropriation for the Exposition building as the same. hence the Supreme Court ruling in that case is not germane to the question. The State capitol case of State vs. Sloan, is directly in line, and the decision will probably govern if the case is carried higher.
 It now appears as though there will be no contest, but should there be, and the Supreme Court rules against the bill, it can destroy only one sec tion-the appropriation. The legal ity of the portion of the bill providing for the convention cannot be ques- toned. The convention can then as semble, and Gov. Brough can declare an emergency appropriation to defray the expenses, depending upon the legislature of 1919 to care for the de- ficiency.
 There has already been a bill intro duced in the House to govern the contest for seats in the convention. This bill will prevent any one spend ing money on a candidate, or any ir- terest eXerting influence for candi- dates.
 Questions which will be considered by the convention are now being free ly discussed. It is admitted that some steps will be taken to give relief now possible only at the hands of the General Assembly, by increasing the authority of quorum courts, or in some other manner, and thus saving the time the Assembly now devotes to the consideration of local bills. An other thing is the length of terms of office The delegates are expected to provide four year terms, with a pro vision that no officer, or one connected with an office, shall be a candidate while holding office. A session of the legislature every four years, with salaries for the legislators. is another suggested change for the constitution.

Little Rock, Feb. 21.-No matter what legal steps are taken, there will be constitutional convention in Lit tie Rock, to open Nov. 19. That much is assured, notwithstanding the point of order raised on the passage of the bill in the House by Representative Johnson of Sebastian county. He maintained that the bill, which car ries an appropriation of S25,0O0 for the expenses of the convention, re- ouired 67 votes, or two-thirds of all elected to the House, to be legally car ried. The bill was declared passed by Speaker Cazort on a vote of 54 to 4O' he holding that a majority only was necessary, it being considered by him a necessary expense of the govern ment

Washington. April 16.-The deposed

find refuge in England.
Word has been received in Washing
ton that the British government has
informed the Provisional Russion gov
ernment that England would be glad to

4 diplomat here pointed out tonight
that there are two possible advantages
TO the Entente cause if this course Is
taken.
In the first place, it was said. If the
revolution should fail eventually ana
it should be necessary to restore the
empire. England would have then as
her guest the rightful sovereigns; and
IN the second place, If the revolution
should succeed, the deposed Gar would
lie unable to engage in any plots
against il.
All that would be necessary TO dis
courage a coup d'ctat in Russia 10 over

would be for Great Britain TO inform
those engaged IN any conspiracy that
she would never recognize such a gov
ornment. and this. i was thought
would be the polio, Of other powers.

lions in progress between England and

indicate that Great Britain is deter
mined that II tha Evolution does fail.
