CHANGES IN LAWS

Our Legislature of 1919 made some
important amendments and additions to
our game and fish laws which desire
to call to the special attention of the
public.
l will take up first the changes in our

firm or corporation at any time of the

water streams in this State except
where the lunar tide ebbs and flows and
except in the Delaware ard Chesapeake
Canal for the purpose of catching any
kind of fish whatsoever or for any other
purpose. This is designed to absolutely
stop the netting of all of our ponds for
any and all purposes. All special laws
which heretofore permitted nets to be
used in certain ponds were entirely re-
pealed.
C. A daily limit has been placed on
our game fish as follows: Large mouth

Federal and State Officials Move
Through Courts to Have
Fuel Mined.
RECE|VERSHIPS ASKED
Kansas Mines Operated by State
When Court Takes Action-Fuel
Shortage Becomes Acute in
Part Of Country.

Chicago, Nov 1S.-A new phase in
the coal strike situation developed.
when proceedings were started In
Ohio and Kansas in an effort to re-
sumo operation of the mines.
In Kansas, the large mining proper
ties in Crawford and Cherokee coun-
ties passed into the control of the
state when the state supreme court
named receivers. The action fol-
lowed the filing of quo warrantO pro.
ceedings by Attorney General Richard
j. Hopkins to bring about the receiv'
ership Under the receivership Gov
ernor Allen hopes to have the mines
In operation in few days.
Receivers Have Full Power.
Under the order issued by the gu
p.eme court, the receivers have full
control of the mines, and mining prop
critics. They can fix wages, get out
the coal, arrange for it's sale and dis
tribution.
The Ohio supreme court was asked
by George H. Phelps, Findlay lawyer,
to direct Attorney General Price of
the state, to start custer proceedings
against Ohio coal mining companies
organized under the laws Of the state
for failure to operate and to have re-
ceivers appointed for the mines.
New Step in North Dakota.
Another situation developed in
North Dakota, where Governor FraZie-'
has seized the mines. Adjutant Gen
eral Angus Fraser and Captain L. r.
Baird Of the North Dakota home
guards were ordered " District
Judge w. L. Nuessle to appear before
him November 10, and show cause why
the court should not issue perma-
nent injunction restraining the home
guards from taking, holding and re-
tanning possession" of private coal
mines at Wilton, n D.
Coal Shortage Grows.
While reports indicated that there
were evidences of progress in the
wage scale negotiations between min
ers and operators in Washington, the
coal shortage situation was growing
serious in various parts of the country.
The regional coal committee in Chi
cago decided to halt all distribution
of coal for 4S hours, exceps for emer-
gency needs.
A total of 106 trains have been sus
pended since the strike began.

COMPROMISE is CONSIDERED
Looms Up in Struggle for Adoption
of Peace Treaty

Washington, Nov. 1S.-On the eve of
final vote on the peace treaty, Presi-
dent Wilson gave the senate to under
stand that, unless it modified the res
ervations already adopted, he would
take the treaty back to the White
House and lock 1t up in his desk
The first effect of the warning was
to stiffen the lines on both sides of
the senate fight. Then compromise
proposals of many kinds were thrown
out by the Democrats in a final effort
to break into the majority program.
They found the treaty's Republican
friends, all of whom had voted for the
reservations, disposed to listen but to
promise nothing, and the life of the
treaty seemed to hang upon slender
thread. The Reed reservation and two
others were rejected by the senate
