WRONG IMPRESSION
OF THE FISHING LAWS

Willis z. Parsons of Foxcroft, COM
missioner of inland fisheries and
game, states that it has been report
ed that all residents of Maine must
under a law which was passed at the
last session of the Legislature pro-
cure license before they can legally
fish in any inland waters.
This is entirely erroneous" said
Commissioner Parsons. Under the
new law the only residents of Maine
who will be required to procure a
fishing license are such alien resi-
dents as have not resided in Maine
for two years continuously prior to
the time they desire to fish and who
are not taxpayers upon real estate
in Maine. The alien fishing license
fee is $2.15. 1t will be seen that the
class Of alien which is required to
produce this $2.15 fishing license is
the same class that is now required
to procure a SIS hunting license"
Under the law passed at the last
session Of the Legislature which will
become operative July 4. white fish
may be taken by means of nets, for
food purposes only, in the family of
persons taking the same, in such
waters as the commissioner of in
land fisheries and game may deem
advisable, and under such conditions,
rules and regulations as he may es-
tablish. Formerly these privileges
could be given only in few specified
waters in Washington. Piscataquis
and Penobscot counties. The custom
in the past has been for persons
aVailing themselves of the privileges
granted by the law to pay for the
services of a warden to supervise
the netting of white fish, taken by
virtue of such permits.
When the law becomes effective
July 4th., 10 pounds of fish or one
fish, can be transported under special
tag, without the owner accompanying
the same, from the Rangelev chain
Of lakes. only once in 80 days The
present law permits such shipments
once in five days. The reason for the
change is due to the fact that it is
claimed that under the old law, tons
OF fish were taken and transported
out of the state which otherwise
would not have been caught.
Under the new law during the
months of November and December
each person who fishes through the
ice for pickerel in waters which are
open to fishing may use five set lines
Formerly the limit was five lines to

open season on protected fish in
rivers. brooks and streams is ex-
tended from Sept. 18th. to Oct 1st
under the law which will become
operative July 4th.
Under the present law the deposit
ing mill waste in lakes and ponds in
the state and in certain specified
rivers. brooks and streams was pro-
hibited. The recent Legislature
added the following paragraph to
this law; provided, further, that the
commissioner of inland fisheries and
game and the forest commissioner
shall have authority. upon petitions
of IS citizens of this state ana after

gate rules and regulations prohibit

what evidence he could at the point
of shipment. Before the warden had
an opportunity to investigate and re-
port the commissioner received a let
ter from the alleged shipper. which
read as follows:
Pc.
April 10Th, 1919.
Commissioner Of Inland Fisheries and
Came
Dear Sir:
Last season the beaver bothered me
so badly that l pulled out four or
five of them. Now if you are willing
to settle the matter up at reasonable
terms, am willing to do so. and will
meet you or your representative at -
"a point in Quebec) on Monday. May
5th. II not. will remain here"
To this letter the commissioner re-
piled that the fact that he had been
violating the laws of Maine was no
surprise to the department-that
previous to the receipt Of his confess
sion the commissioner had received
complaint from the Federal authori-
ties in Massachusetts, that he had
been violating the laws by illegal
traffic in beaver skins. and was in
formed that the commissioner could
not consider the proposition of going
to Canada to convenience violator
of the Maine laws-to see whether he
would return to Maine or not.
Further inquiry revealed the fact
that it is reported that the parties to
, whom the alleged illegal shipment OF
beaver skins was made notified the
shipper of the investigation by the
Federal authorities. which accounted
for the shippers sudden trip into
Canada.
This case has been closed by the
shipper returning to Maine, and
pleading guilty to the charge and
paying his fine. 5000, in State court
Under an amendment to the beaver
law passed By the last Legislature
illegal traffic in beaver skins here
after will be somewhat difficult, as
such skins. before they can be traf-
ficked in in any way. or transported
much be sealed by the commissioner
or his representative.
Even if contra band skins are sent
outside the State. they are subject to
seizure, of course. The beaver law
violators can no longer claim that
they secured the skins in New Bruins
wick or Quebec. as the Quebec law
requires all skins to be sealed, and
the New Brunswick law requires its
skins to be tagged.
One illegal shipment from Maine
| was unearthed in Wisconsin. and the
Maine offender has already paid his
| fine. Evidence Of other illegal ship
ments have been found in New York
and Massachusetts,. as well as single
shipments in two other states.
At the present time our State au-
thorities are handicapped in the work
of tracing illegal shipments. especial
ly Of skins. by reason of the fact that
many such shipments are made by
parcel post. but here is where the aid
of the Federal authorities becomes
valuable. as they alone can secure
evidence at the place to which the
goods are consigned which enables
the Maine Commission to prosecute
the case here. Certainly we are en-
tering upon new era in fish and
game law enforcement. and from now
on the life of the would be violator
will not be an easy one.

LEGION TO BACK
C0MPULS0R BILL
Attempt Will Be Made By Com
1niSSioned Men to Have Con-
Vention Endorse L,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. o.
Some of the commissioned sons Of
prominent men in the American Le-
giOn have hit upon scheme for
evading the issue of universal mill
tary service. against which the rank
and file Of the, legion seems to be
firmly set. They are planning to pro-
pose, at the national convention of
the legion in Milwaukee in November,
the same resolution which slid
through the state legion convention
in Minnesota-a condemnation of
universal military service" in time
Of peace, but an Endorsement of "uni-
versal military training."
1t is pointed out by the men who
are opposing the schemes of the mill
tarist clique that not one Of the bills
offered in congress has made any dis
tinction between training and 'serv-
ice." A boy under the control of the
general staff for "training'' may be
sent to the Philippines or anywhere
else for his "training' in the art of
war. He will obey orders or get a
swift courtmartial.
Yet it is common talk in Washing
ton that four-ffths Of the members
Of congress will vote for a system
of universal compulsory military
"training' before this winter has
passed.

EXTRA MAIL Men
ASK MORE MONEY.
Wage Of Only 40 Gents an Hour
Called insufficient for NeceS-
sites Of Life.

A wage of only 40 cents an hour,
and that only when on an assignment,
is the economic outlook that the sub
stitute letter carriers of the Duluth
postal district have had since 1913.
Though all other post office employees
have received at least a little raise
during the period of war. the "sub"
carriers have obtained none.
About two-thirds of the substitutes
In the Duluth district have families,
and, according to the latest report Of
the department of labor, it is under
stood that the average American fam
lily requires $1,5oS.92 year for the
bare necessities. and at least $1,000
more for the simplest comforts and
extras. Figures given by the Duluth
substitutes show that for: some time
they have averaged less than SIS a
month, or $3.50 in year.
The all-imposing question from all
sides is, "How. in the name of reason,
can they live?" They must keep re-
spectacle; they must pay between $50
and 800 a year for uniforms; and by
present regulations they must keep
this up for at least six, perhaps nine,
years, before getting a regulars posi-
ton. The substitutes feel that if thu
public could but just see the condi-
tions as they are. there would be nc
need Of argument or plea.

PLUMB: EXPOSES
CUmM|NS' BILL
Railroad brotherhoods' Attor
ney Says it Would Apply
Against Fruit Growers

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. o.
Glen Plumb has discovered another
startling possibility in section: 20 of
the Cummins' railroad bill. Section 20
prohibits any two or more persons
from combining or conspiring to pre-
vent the transportation of passengers
or commodities, or doing anything
which has the substantial effect of
preventing the transportation of pas
sengers or commodities on the rail-
roads. It is meant, of. course, to for
bid strikes of railroad employees. But
Plumb sees something more in it.
:~"Suppose," he told the senate COM
mittee on Interstate commerce, "the
California fruit growers organization
should decide to withhold shipment Of
fruit to the market, because prices
were low. Under this law they might
be held criminally liable. Their act
would be the refusal to accept prices
offered them by dealers private per-
sons. For refusal to accept prices Of
fered to them, then, they would be
liable to fine and Jail. In the same
way, coal producers might be held in
jail for refusal to ship coal at prices
offered by factories.
'Essentially, this section UNDER
takes to brand men as criminals be-
cause they refuse certain prices and
conditions offered them by private
capital. Aside from the fact that the
scheme violates the constitutional
right of freedom from involuntary
servitude, it is direct violation Of
the constitutional and statutory right
of freedom Of contract

LINTON, Ind, Oct. 9. - The rs
school teachers in Stockton township
Greene county, did not open schools
as planned, because Of difference
between the township trustees and a
Teachers union which was organized
during the summer. There was a dis
crepancy in the wage rate the teach
ers were to receive. The trustees had
secured the services OF other teach
ers to fill the vacated positions, but
when the situation was explained to
them they too refused to assume the

today, Oct. 10. Word was received
from State Directors Board and local
Director John Bennett this week to

CAPT. GEORGE M'ADAMS
! SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
SLASHED BY NEGRO CHAUFFEUR
WHILE PARKING AUTOMO-
BILE IN NASHVILLE
DAILY Herald, August 49,

Capt. George McAdams of this city,
who was seriously slashed by negro
chauffeur in Nashville Saturday night,
was reported this morning TO be
slightly improved at the Protestant
hospital, where he was carried imme-
diately after the attack.
Capt. McAdams had stopped his car
in front of the Doctors building on
Church street when Will Brown, ne
gro chauffeur for e. T. Lowe, of the
Lowe Publishing Co, notified him not
to park his car there, according to a
Nashville newspaper report. Capt
McAdams did not heed the negro and
words passed between them. Then
the negro left his car and attacked
Capt McAdams with knife, serious
ly cutting him about the abdomen.
Capt McAdams was carried to the
Protestant hospital where his wounds
were dressed and late Sunday he was
reported to be slightly improved.
Several men gave chase to the ne
gro who ran after the attack and
succeeded in escaping. Later he re-
turned to the Lowe car and drove
away in it. When followed by several
men he threatened to attack anyone
who attempted to interfere with him.
He was arrested later when stopped
by another soldier.
Brown was locked up on charge
of assault and battery with intent to
commit murder and his preliminary
hearing was set in city court for to-
day.
: Capt McAdams is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs, w. G, McAdams of this city and
had but recently been discharged from
the army after serving throughout the
war.
