GAME BILL Is
SUBJECT OF A
LONG DEBATE
BY HERBERT FELKEL.

Tallahassee, May 15.-An amend
ment prohibiting the shooting of fe-
male deer or hen turkeys at any sea-
son of the year was the most impor-
tant of the many added to the COM
mittee substitute for the Turner game
bill when that important measure was
before the senate on second reading
as. an order of the day.
After more than two dozen amend
ments were adopted, most of them
being friendly and offered by the COM
rnfttee or other supporters of the bill.
it went to the engrossing room A
large majority of the amendments to
this the main game bill of the ses-
sion. which provides for the appoint
ment of state game warden by the
governor, were to perfect the measure
as to details and grammatical con-
struction. Most of the unfriendly
amendments offered were promptly
voted down, but not until they had
been more or less debated.
An amendment to strike from the
bill the section which makes the car
rying of gun in the wood out or
season prime facia evidence that the
carrier of said hunting iron is engaged
in the killing of game. was voted
down, as was another to extend the
hunting season. Senator Carlton
spoke on this and declared that he
would oppose any amendment that
proposed to extend the season beyond
January. 81.
Senator Mac Williams made siren
uous fight to protect deer and turkeys
twelve months in the year until such
time as the legislature might see fit
nd
personally would favor the protecting
of most game in Florida for period
of five years The senate did not
agree to this.
Senator Johnson proposed an
amendment limiting the shooting of
deer to the months of August and
September and turkeys only in De-
cember and January. but this too, was
lost. The danger of having too many
hunting seasons for different kinds of
game was pointed out by Senator
Malone who said that man in the
woo6a was apt to shoot whatever he
saw and never report it.
= Senators Malone. Mac Williams and
johnson voted to protect turkeys and
deer the year round. Senator Johnson
said he was a friend of game and
some OF the friends of the bill were
unfriendIy to game. 1t was pointed
out If the deer were protected for
period of five years every day in
each year they would rapidly multiply
and Florida would have something of
great interests to the tourists. but
others claimed that many tourists
came to Florida only to shoot. Sena-
tor Malone declared he was not one
of those who believed in sacrificing
all of the states traditions for the
sake of the visitors who come in the
winter months.
Practically as many of the amend
ments offered were killed as were
adopted.

LOT OFLIOOT !.
ELOCATED IN
OUT BUILDING
ABOUT $500 WORTH or HARD
WARE AND AUTOMOBILES Ac-
cEssoRIEs, SOME or WHICH
WAS IDENTIFIED.

Through the cooperation of Frank
Rosario, owner of building at Zarra-
gossa and Reus streets. Sheriff j. c..
Van Pelt yesterday discovered $500
worth of stolen hardware and automo-
bile accessories, and took them to the
county jail to await Identification by
the lawful owners.
The building had been rented from
Rosario by strangers some time ago.
Observing that it had been locked up
for quite a while and was apparently
not being used. the owner decided to
re-rent it, and upon opening it found
the plumber, consisting of frictions.
batteries, wrenches, planes and other
articles. About 5000 worth of it was
soon identified as belonging to the
W. A. Ray. Hardware company. and
lent color to the theory of Sheriff Van
Pelt that the goods We're stolen and
stored by a confederate of the party
who received prison sentence a few
days ago for burglarizing the store of
that company. Fully $500 worth of the
goods, however, could not be identi-
fled by the w. A. Ray company as
theirs. and await the claims of other
parties.
In this connection it is recalled
that numerous complaints have recent
Iy been made by owners of cars of
the loss of valuable parts Frank Rem
shaw and ]. d. Carroll are among
those who have made hscomplaints
1t is possible that there is some con ;
nection between the ones who have
been stealing parts and the ones who
stored such parts in the Rosario build
ing. Mr.. Rosarios promptness in get
the sheriff's office on the trial was
much appreciated.
