FOR GAME DEPARTMENT
Floor Leader Willis Wants to Know
How $4,000 Has Been
Expended.
no MISUSE OF FUNDS CmARGED
hut House Is Informed That Money
Has Been Spent for Purposes Not
Authorized by Law, and Wants to
Prevent Further Extravaganza.

Investigation OF the State Game De-
pnrtmcnt. whose fund of $4,000 Is al.
legged TO nave vanished for 'shad ha tch-
cries. house-boats. fads and fancios,"
~ the object Of resolution yesterday
introduced IN tho House OF Delegates
by Floor Leader Willis. In present
ing the resolution, however. Mr. Viii
lis stated that he did not want tho
public to believe that there was any
suspicion that any OF the funds had
been misappropriated. lie con.-n,!ed
merely that money had been spent for
purposes not authorized by law and
that the booEs OF the department:
should be audited TO ascertain jus,
how rcpe;itions OF eXtravagant aIpen-
ditures could be guarded against.
The Willis resolution and argument
on bani; stock tax case were the out
though Robert O. Eorsis's effort to
have tho ShRcklefori insurance bill
moved up on the calendar for immedi-
ate consideration caused muck interest.
Mr.. Norris way not successful but he
was given sufficient support TO en-
courage the belief that the measure
will be given favorable consideration
by the House when it Is reached. The
vote by which the state Health Officers
