Ten Davenporters Fined for Having
Fowls in Cold Storage.
Davenport, Oct. 9.-Informations
were filed In the United States dis
trict court yesterday against ten
prominent business men Of Daven-
port, most OF whom are members Of
the Beardstown, ILL.,, Gun club. and
arraignments resulted In fines Of 81
and costs being levied against each
defendant for violation Of the federal
migratory bird law. The defendants
having ducks in their possession in
cold storage, after, January 10. the
closing date provided for the last
hunting season.
Among those named in the
informations were Judge J. w.
Bollinger, Reuel B. Cook, r. r. En-
geihart, G.. Decker French, II. q.
Roberts, A. D. Ficke, John Schmidt
and Walter ]. Kunkel.
AS explained by Judge Bollinger,
the prosecution Of the Davenport
men was caused by information Civ
en- voluntarily by Judge Bollinger
and several of the hunters to fed
eral games wardens who we're tracing
the ownership OF a quantity Of ducks
stored in the BeN-Jones Company
storage plant. Judge Bollinger
said he and his associates readily
told the officers everything they
knew about the ducks and even fur
nished an affidavit to show that the
ducks were owned by the defendants
and had been acquired legally.
District Attorney e. G. Moon said
that the department had given or
ders fo- vigorous prosecution of the
case and that nothing was said about
keeping the defendants affidavits
out Of the evidence. The criminal
informations1 followed.
According to the district attorney,
the new migratory bird law prohibits
the keeping of ducks shot during the
hunting season, after January 10.
The defendants ducks were being
stored for summer use at the Bell
Jones Company plant, where they
were discovered by federal game
wardens who searched the plant
Some months ago for a lot OF 500
birds supposed to have been stored
there for commercial purposes.

different students have already en-
rolled in the State University of Iowa
this year. and with registration for
the present semester still incom-
plete and the increases of the second
semester still to be added, it seems
reasonable to expect that the antici-

tinued increase at last years rate is
will have reached $500 by that time.
This represents an inuease over
last year of about 143s per cent If
last years figures for about this time
are compared with the present in
complete total. On Oct, "a, 1919, the
total attendance was 1915.
Excluding student nurses, at the
end of the first two weeks last year
there were 1866 students on the
campus. This year there are 4.21s.
This increase is 534 or 14k per cent.
The colleges OF law and medicine
show the greatest PERCENTAGE Of
growth this year, each having gained
II per cent. There are 1872 students
in law against 1873 at this time in
1919 and a57 in medicine as compared
with 219. In dentistry the increase is
at least. 7La per cent, but the atten-

further notice, but be relaxed as the
situation warranted.
The commission also ordered all
outstanding permits for use Of coal

Not only this but Captain Mi chaelson, minus blanket and the crud- est rudiments of shelter, was con- pelled to get what comfort he could from a campfire, while he watched ship after ship and boat after boat pass him by day and night failing to note his signal fire.
 A search for Michaelson had been in progress since December 1, when Rev. David Waggoner called atten- tion of Commissioner Burton to a let ter addressed to Michaelson's wife, in | which he stated that he was about to depart from Hoonah for Juneau, Earl L. Hunter was dispatched to search for Michaelson, but returned to Juneau empty handed.
 It was due to the primeval instincts of a native, Captain Albert Judson of the gasboat Grander, that Captain Michaelson was rescued, and but for the bravery of Judson, which en- braces the best traditions of the sea, | N;chcelson might have perishel for succor.
 Captain Albert Judson was journey | ign from Hoonah to Juneau, and while skirting the shore saw Captain Mi chaelsons signal fire. Knowing the | country and that it was uninhabited, the young captain called the attention of his father to the smoke and said something was wrong.
 | 'Too much praise cannot be given Captain Judson for his gallantry in
 taking me off the beach" said Cap
 tain Michaelson, speaking of his res, | cue. "There was a high sea running and the shore line is full of dangerous rocks, but with remarkable skill and daring he threaded his way through the treacherous. waters and by the use of a slkiff took me off. He brought me to Juneau"

MUSEUM GIVEN
 SOUVENIR FROM
 HAWKER FLIGHT

ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 12 (by As sociated Press) The undercarriage which Harry Hawker dropped from his airplane when he took flight from here year ago on his pioneer attempt to cross the Atlantic without a stop, has been recovered, and presented to the public museum for keeping with other exhibits associated with the colonys history. The gift was made by w. B. Grieve, M. L. C., who purchased the carriage after fisher men had picked it up off Cape, St. Mary's, 200 miles south southwest from the point where 1t was dropped into the sea. r1 .,
 When HaWker set out on his trans oceanic attempt on May 1s, 1919, he flew over the airdrome of Frederic F. Raynham, almost on the edge of the coast Within sight of his rival, who was standing by his plane unable to start because of an adverse wind, Hawker cut loose his undercarriage as a guage to contest for honors of the cir, and to tighten his load, theD winged away seaward with Ireland as his object Raynham, accepting the challenge, sought to start, notwith- standing the unfavorable conditions, but he was unable to leave the ground and his machine was wrecked, he was injured, and his navigator, Major c. ". F. Morgan, almost killed. Hawker it will be recalled, flew HOO miles before engine trouble brought him down.
 The undercarriage was actively sought by Hawker's agents and by others as a souvenir, but search of the coast and of nearby waters, long-con- tinued, failed to disclose the wheels and their mount. Fishermen recently picked the carriage up off the coast, southwest of Cape Race, and brought it into Presque, where they disposed of it for a nominal sum.
