WIVES MUST CONSENT
 TO HUSBANDS FISHING

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 15. - The Senate committee on wild lands or the Georgia legislature has before it a bill introduced by Senator Den- his Fleming of Dougherty county to make it necessary for husbands in this state to obtain permission of their wives before going fishing.
 Senator Fleming, fisherman him. self and a married man, was merely exercising his keen Irish humor when he introduced the measure, and had no idea of hearing an echo expressed through the curiosity of so famous a person as Hudson Maxim, the inventor and author.
 In a letter to s. G. McLendon, sec retary of state, MT. Maxim wrote: q see by the New York Tribune that a bill has been introduced in the Senate of the State of Georgia by Senator Dennis Fleming which contains some provisions so drastic that it has occurred to me that the whole thing must be a joke"
 Quoting provisions of the bill as described in the Tribune story, that "any and all married men who shall go fishing without the consent of their wives shall be guilty of a felony, and their sentence shall not be less than five or more than twen- ty years at hard labor" the inven- tor wrote: "I shall deem the cour- tesy very much if you will let me know whether or not such legisla- tion is being proposed in the State of Georgia. As I am writing book on lawless legislation in the United States, I am gathering any striking bit of legislation which may be use. full for my work"

Laszlo Schwartz, the famous mu- sician and composer, who was a passenger on the Northwestern, and whom Cordovans not up" on Who's Who in Musicdom had understood to be a pipe organist, is violinist, and as such could not play the score for the much-heralded "Sheik, which is written for the piano or or gan. The misunderstanding all came about through message received by A. Pinkus, manager of the En- press, from MT. Schwartz who wired ::
 "Cap play tonight and leave same boat. Lathrop has details. Wire re- ply" MT. Pinkus took the message to indicate that an arrangement had been made by MT. Schwartz with Capt. Lathrop to play at the theater on arrival, and with "The Sheik'

 Schwartz continued his jouruey last night on the Northwestern for An chorage, where he will give a con-
 cert before proceeding on to Fair
 banks. MT Schwartz is a Hungarian and an eminent viOlinist and compos- CT. His versatility does not stoI there, however, since he is a writer and cartoonist, and as a contributor to the Musical World' is known to a large circle of musical readers In connection with his varied talents MT. Schwartz tells with a chuckle a story on himself which occurred al Petersburg recently Booked to give a concert there, he wired the man. ager of the theater that he would arrive on a certain date on the Spo- kane and would play that right What was his dismay on landing in the town to find himself confronted with huge posters which read: Famous Hungarian Will Arrive or Spokane Will Play One Night Only Enid Bennett In Silk Stockings
 The producer of the poster had known more about his "bookings'
 than of punctuation. After his line up last night with "The Shiek," MT
 Schwartz is inclined to look upor his Alaskan tour as having given him some thrilling associations.
