SEEMING NOW PROHIBITED

SEEMING in practically all of the
Goose Island sloughs and lakes living
in Vernon county and in certain other
waters is prohibited by the eonserva-
ton commission of Wisconsin in an
order just issued and a copy of which
, was received by the parties interested.
The order of the commission stopping
seining in Vernon county follows a
similar order issued early in the
month, which prohibits SEEMING in all
waters in Lacrosse county exeept the
main channel of the Mississippi. The
order of the commission affecting the
waters of Vernon county is printed
in another part of the Censor.
! The Censor receives the following
communication from LACROSSE
The meeting of the Lacrosse Rod
and Gun Club Thursday evening was
attended by a large number of sports
men and all were very much inter-
ested to learn of the great work which
the club was doing in the way of bet
ter laws passed for the protection of
! fish and game. Correspondence was
received from the Caledonia. Mime
sofa, club stating that the people of
Houston county were circulating a pc
tition to have all net fishing stopped
/ in Raft channel which borders on
Houston county. 1t was also learned
that the pole and line fishermen of
Buffalo county, Wis, had circulated
similar petition TO have all net fish
ing discontinued in Fountain Bay.
The conservation commission will hold
hearing on hits petition April 8, at
Fountain City.
1t was rumored that another hear
ing on this same petition is going TO
be held at Arcadia In the near future,
all this going to show that the pole
and line fishermen are fast becoming
aware of the fact that in order to
preserve pole and line fishing. some
thing must be done at once. Another
matter that was of great Importance
and interest was the combining of dogs
to places other than the woods during
the summer, for it has ben discovered
that the destructive damage of young
birds and rabbits occasioned by dogs
when allowed to roam at will has been
exceedingly great. All true sports
men are urged to lend their support
against the dog which is allowed to
roam at will during the will during the
summer, for the protection of young
game during the breeding season.
This club is now putting on a men,
bership drive, and it might be added
that the member acquiring the larg-
est number of new members will re-
ceive box of extra fine cigars. To
the member obtaining the second larg-
est number of new members will be
presented FIVE pound box of choco-
lates. Lets all get together on this
proposition and put our shoulders to
the wheel for worthy cause and
am more hanconfidentthat the sports
men in general will benefit greatly
by our efforts and the work the club
is doing" said Mr. Schurz. Cigars for
the first place in the membership CON
test were donated by the president of
the club, Mr.. L. c. Hirscheimer, while
the candy comes as donation from
Mr.. G. F. Galloway, vice president.

comes Law.

A tentative draft of a bill pro
viding for a gasoline tax in the
District to substitute for automo
bile taxes based on horsepower is
being prepared under the direction
Of Engineer Commissioner Keller.
Under the proposed bill. a small
tax per gallon on gasoline would
be levied on wholesale dealers. who
in turn would collect the tax from
consumers through the retail deal
ers. A registration tag would be
required on all machines but such
a tag can be obtained under the
new bill at a moderate fee.
A gasoline tax Is used in Mary
land at the present time and
should the tax be adopted here a
reciprocity agreement is hoped for
whereby District motorists could
drive into Maryland without pay.

State tax required on gasoline pur-

sore clean through. My wife

my money and bought her gentle
man friend a pair of shoes. 1

the man offered me the shoes.
Such was the complaint OF

his wife.
The woman was so frightened
when she came into court that
she sought refuge IN the witness

She denied her husbands charge
that she bought another man q
pair of shoes. She explained her
husband had threatened to take
her life because she refused to live
with him any longer. The wife
also claimed her husband sold all
the household furniture and invited
her to sleep on the bare floor.
Belt was SO surly in his attitude
toward the woman and the court
that Judge Hardison remarked. 81

quested by Representative Roy G..
Fitzgerald, of Ohio, member of the

yesterday that while Washington
