HUNTING RESTRICTION

100000 persons. estimates the Bioiogi-
cal Survey Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. will go out with
a gun into the woods and fields of Amer
lea. Their going emphasizes the grow

laws to conserve and protect the coun-
try's dwindling game supply.
"It has been the practice in many
States" the department says. ito issue

all applicants. with tuo little regard foI
the available game supply of any par
ticular area. The hunters may far out

tions the extinction OF big game espe-

THE Department OF Agriculture ad-
vocates a limited license plan for big
game, based on annual estimates oil

means that the number OF big game
licenses issued for given area In one
season would depend upon the number OF
game animals which 1t has been deter

RAIL RATE INCREASES
IN ARGENTINE VOID
British OsDned Roads Must
Return Excess Receipts.

BuENos AIRES. Oct S.--Rate increases
which the British owned railways of Ar
gentine put into effect last March.
amounting to 10 to 25 per cent, have
been declared null and void by a decree
Of President Yrigoyen. which orders the
roads to return the money paid in excess
of the old rates to the shippers inter-
ested.
The action was taken following a note
addressed by the Ministry of Public
Works to the railroads, stating that the
raising OF the rates without previous
sanction of the government authorities
the State over these public utilities.
The roads contended they had the
right TO raise the rates under an inter-
pretation OF the law and continued to
keep the increases in force, notwith-
standing that the Ministry OF Public
Works proceeded to levy fines upon them
OF 1000 pesos (about $500 a day and
later 10000 pesos a day.
Recently, however. after much discus
sion, the roads Informed tho Govern
ment that IL had not been their inten-
tion to disregard the authority Of the
nation, and that they were ready to ac-
quiesce In any decision the Government
might take in the matter.
The President In his decree RENTS the
fines and directs the Ministry of Public
Works to proceed to the revision of the
existing rates.
