For Liquor, Police Learn
CBy Associated P-essl

CALEXICO, Cal, Aug. 15.-The gov
vernment proved the wisdom of Poor
Lo" in naming liquor fire water
some centuries ago. One hundred
gallons of liquor confiscated by feder-
al customs officers was ordered emp
tied into the gutter in the usual way
yesterday.
The thermometer registered 120 in
the shade and when the liquor spatter-
ed on the pavement it burst into flames
from the heat of the suns rays
The officers moved to another loca-
ton and started pouring some into the
gutter. Again it burst into flames and
the flames flashed up the stream of
liquor and exploded one of the tanks.
The officers then poured the fire wa.
ter direct into the sewer.
Dozens of spectators saw the fire

Owners Of private fish ponds are,
under the Indiana law, entitled to pos
, session of a seine for netting fish in
their own pond u are not permitted
legally to possess any other kind of
fish net, gill net, gig, spear, etc. Under
the law no owner is permitted TO loan
his seine to other parties and shall
only use it himself in his own pond.
Due to numerous complaints reach
ing the fish and game division OF
the state conservation department,
that some owners of private ponds
have loaned seines to other persons;
also are alleged to have used their
seines in public waters. instructions
have gone out from Richard Lieber,
director of conservation in Indiana,
that wardens make a drive on the al
legged v%iolators.
I'VE much prefer that the people of
Indiana be educated to the fish and
game laws and cooperate willingly
with US to the end that Hoosier public
waters TEEN with aquatic life to lure
local citizens and tourists into the
OPEN" Mr.. Lieber said. But if pri-
yate pond owners whom the law per-
mits to possess a seine to use only
in waters owned or controlled by
! them. violate this law, then they must
take the consequence. In the forth
coming drive no favorites will be
played
In 1918 the attorney general gave
an opinion that under the law the own
er of a private pond is entitled to keep
a seine. Therefore the department is
calling attention to the provisions OF
this statute in hopes that general pub
lie cooperation will result to the bet
terment of the piscatorial sport in our
state, rather than it be necessary for
state wardens to make wholesale ar
rests.
The provisions of this law read:
The owner of a private pond may
not lawfully loan his seine to another
person; he may keep it for use only in
his own pond.
Neither the owner of a private pond
nor any other person whatsoever, may
lawfully possess any spear, gig, net oil
trap.
A private pond is one that is owned
wholly on all sides by n person oil
two or more persons jointly or in com
mon, and one that has no outlet or in
let, so that fish can not come into {
go out of the pond from or to othel
waters. Many persons, according u
reports, claim their pond is private
when in fact and in law it is not such
Mr.. Lieber says.
Conservation officials say that war
dens have been instructed to investi
gate all such waters and to prosecute
all persons found to be violating this
statute.
Fish Planting Increases
A total of 104. 143 baby fish from TIVE

said today. These fish were propa

Mr.. Manifold says his division ha,
up to Aug. l planted 2,715,843 younl
