Sidney La.aru. Will B. Mi,..d

Birmingham will certainly miss Sidney Lazarus when he moves to New York; said Judge Hugh A. Locke, "for he has always taken such an active part in all war work and always had the interest of the city at heart.
 He was ever ready to serve when called upon and seemed to take d delight in his work with the four min ute men. The splendid success of the farewell dinner of this organization recently held in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel, was largely due to his efforts. In leaving Birmingham MT.

The Moose Hunting Law

The Bangor News of Nov. % said:
Commissioner Parsons, whose at
tantion was called to the head lines
over game receipts in the Bangor
Daily News today. I'd its reference
to the moose law, said in a brief
interview:
Under the laws Of Maine all game
lawfully killed in the State in open
season is protected in the possession
If the owner, who has a reasonable
time in which to transport it as well
as lawfully dispose of it in close sea-
son and it does not become necessary
enactment in regard to game, al
though it was included in the deer
law The same rule would apply to
moose.
"A reasonable construction will be
put upon the moose law by all war
dens and no one disturbed who has
acquired his game legally in open
season in this State.
The question was raised as a joke
and is still so regarded, but as some
might possibly, from seeing it in the
Daily News, take it seriously. it may
be well to correct the erroneous i'm
preston, II any exists"
The commissioner stated further
that he regarded the importation OF
moose meat into the State in close
season entirely different from retain
ing in possession moose legally killed
in open season. The words when
ever and wherever taken" inserted
in the 1919 moose law by the legis-
lature, were inserted to put a stop to
the peddling Of moose meat along the
border in close season under the
guise Of New Brunswick" moose.
This had been common practice for
years and the State authorities were
powerless to prevent it as it was
generally impossible to prove where
the animals were killed.
This the legislature did under the
police powers of the State. and il
was not intended to apply to Maine
game killed in open season protected
under the common law.
There is only one purpose Of the
Inv and that is to conserve the game
and this without imposing hardship
upon any one"

The matter Of the continuance Of the
scent fare on the trolley line Of the
Bangor Railway & Electric Co.
DR.. F. B. Peabody, chairman of
the board Of selectmen Of Richmond,
spoke on the question Of the protec-
lion or elimination Of grade CROSS
ngs in that town Dr. Peabody told
the commission that there was no
objection to a silent signal across
Gardner street He had talked with
quite a number of people and the
sentiment was against closing Depot

Chairman Cleave Of the commits
sion remarked that in one mile in
the town of Richmond there were
an unusual number of grade cross
ings. He did not think that it would
be hardship to eliminate the grade
crossing at White street.
DR.. Peabody. continuing. said that
Main, Pleasant and Depot streets are
the principal streets where the peo-
pie Of Richmond wanted protection.
The only objection to the elimna-
ton OF White street is that coal is
hauled and heavy trucking is done
by way Of this street. The people
Of Richmond want a 24-hour pro-
lection on Main, Pleasant and De-
pot streets and Tagging" at White

Eendereon Declines?

The declination Of the nomination
to the Craftsmanship Of the Maine
Industrial Accident Commission.
which was made by Governor Carl
e. Milliken on Saturday. Frank D.
Henderson Of Limerick being the ap-
pointee, was reported in Monday aft
ernoon's Biddeford Journal. as fol-
lows:
FRANK D. Henderson. nominated
by Governor Milliken to be chairman
Of the Industrial Accident Commits
sion, has decided for personal rea-
sons to decline the appointment. Mr..
Henderson went to Augusta today
to personally thank the Governor for
the high honor bestowed upon him
and to acauaint him with the rea-
sons which have impelled him to
decline it. Before leaving home Mr..
Henderson said that upon his return
he would give out a statement for
publication. 50 that his friends might
understand his position. This action
on the part Of Mr.. Henderson comes
as an even greater surprise than
was his appointment. It is not often
that a young man declines political
preferment, especially when the prof
ferred position is one to his liking
and for the holding Of which he is
admirably fitted. and, too, when a
handsome salary goes with the posi-
ton"
It is understood that Mr.. Fender
son saw Governor Milliken on train
Monday afternoon during the latters
trip to Portland and the matter was
undoubtedly discussed. although the
Governor, on his return on Tuesday.
had nothing to say for publication. 1t
is also hoped by many that Mr.. Fen
derson will reconsider his decllna-
ton and accept the position.
