IN DARK CONCERNING HUNGARY

Washington, March 25.-State department Off
cials still in the dark as to whether the revolt in
Hungary will call for any participation by the
the United States the side of the entente. It is
confidently believed that within three or four days
the question will be definitely settled, either BY
word from the president by some order issuing
from the nter-allied military council
Today's news indicates that the powers now in
command in Hungary are exerting every effort to
maintain friendly relations with the United States
There is no intimation that the United States has
any part to play in the fighting now going on IN
Budapest.
Unoffieially the state department is advised that
the Hungarians have informed the entente missions
at Budapest But some department officials sug-
gested that the arrests may have been for reason
different from that of state of war.

The following Officers were elect

held on Thursday, August Is, at S:3o

building. The Lexington post has a
very good beginning, as it has more
than 80 regular members at pres
ent, and many others have expressed
their anxiety to join at the first op-
portunity.
It is urgently requested that every
cx-nember OF the military forces IN
Lexington County be present at the
next meeting. There are some 9OV
white men in this county who say
service in the world war, and when
they realize that this is an organlza-
ton to which they alone are eligible
for active membership it is believed
that each one of them will be anX-
ious to join.

Muoh ActiyitA for Enforcement Of
the Law:.Some Misunderstand-
ing as 10 Cuses Arrests---Defini-
tion Of Private Ponds.

JOG VI. C0ughman. one Of the State
Same Wardcns. who is in charge Of
Lexington and Saluda Counties, is
making an earnest effort to secure
better enforcement OF the game law.
There seems to bc considerable mis-
understanding OF the law, especially as
to fishing, which has resulted in
some summonses by Mr.. Caughman Of
parties whose cases are now pending.
In order that our readers may have
ing below a short summary prepared
by the office of Wade Hampton
Gibbes chief game warden. Section
Of the act passed by the last general
assembly is as follows:
Wild Birds, Game and Fish the
Property of the State.
BE it enacted by the general as
senlbly of the State of South Carolina,
That all wild birds, wild game and
fish (cXcept fish in strictly private
ponds and lakes entirely segregated
"rom other Waters) shall be and are
declared to be the property Of the
State
In the course of an opinion constrU-
ing this act, Morris G. LUnpkin. as
%istant attorney general has this to
say:
1t is not believed that the indivi-
duals buying shares in the drawing
Of such pond would be liable eX-
cept under the terms of the Act Of
1919 above cited, which prohibits the
catching of game and fish except by
hook and line and the provisions
against the fishing with traps and
seines. ETC., during certain seasons of
the year
From the above it would seem that
q pond to be purely private pond
should be segregated or separated
from all other waters. If, therefore,
the waters of the creek or stream
above such a pond are such waters
as will allow the passage Of fish, It
is believed that such a p)lI would not
be a purely private pond under the
terms of the statute cited"

was paroled to Mr.. Finn. Coleman
was to have returned to Camp
Dodge Tuesday, and intended to do
so. He went to neighboring town
IN an automobile to be married, and
on his way back to Omaha, where he
expected to catch the train Tuesday
afternoon, the automobile in which
he was riding with his bride broke
down. He missed the train, relatives
declared, and was going to catch the
next train to Des Moines.
Police Start Search.
In the meantime word was re
ceived here that Coleman overstayed
the time limit for his visit. In
structions were sent to Sergeant
White of Omaha, to assume custody
of the delinquent soldier and take
him back to camp. In some way
the police learned that Coleman still
was in Omaha and Detectives
Knudtson and Jensen instituted a
search for him. ~
Knudtson's Story.
II did not shoot Coleman until
he struck me twice." said Detective
Knudtson. "He struck me once on
the side of the head. | was dazed.
| staggered and almost fell to the
ground. He then struck ME a ter
rife blow on the neck and l fell to
the ground. ! did not know what
injury l would suffer at the mans
hands. As | struggled to my feet
| drew my revolver and fired in self
defense when the infuriated soldier
made another lunge at me-"
Police Chief Eberstein declared
he was investigating the shooting.
While he would not state positively
his opinion of the affair. the chief in
dicated that from his knowledge of
the facts gained so far that he was
inclined to the belief the detective
was justified in shooting to kill the
soldier.
Coleman was arrested Sunday
and released later upon the promise
that he would return to Camp
Dodge on the first train," said Chief
Eberstein. "He was shown every
consideration. The shooting was
the result of Coleman's attempt to
get away.
II know Knudtson is a good Off
GER and he has a good record. |
know Detective Knudtson to be a
careful man."
Chief Eberstein declared he had
not talked to Detective Knudtson
since the shooting. He did not give
the names of anyone to whom he
had talked regarding the affair.

Seek Popular Vote
Upon League in
State of Missouri

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 2l.-
Fifty democratic members of the
Missouri legislature today offered
to resign if Senator James A. Reed,
democrat, from Missouri, would re-
sign from the United States SEN
ate. The legislators then propose
Ito run for reelection, as they sug-
gest Reed should do, to force a
popular vote in Missouri on the
league of nations.
The house of representatives re-
Gently passed resolutions demand
ing that Senator Reed resign be-
cause of his opposition to President
Wilson's program. The challenge
of the legislators today came after
a series of conferences in which
they decided to throw down the
gauntlet to the senator and at the
same time attempt to show that the
people of Missouri endorse the
presidents plan for a league Of ma
tons.
AS an alternative it was suggested
that the democratic state committee
call convention of representative
democrats from every county in the
state to give endorsement to the
president and his aims; to denounce
Senator Reed, and to bring about
a reorganization of the party in the
state if conditions are found to
justify it.
The result of the conference was
announced by Representative Cham
cellor of Baton county, who said
