REFUSE TO LEASE
PUBLICLANDS

Special to The Evening Journal.
DOVER. Aug. 24.-At a meeting
OF the Public Lands Commission Of
the state held here the subject Of
leasing the public lands running
from Rehoboth to Fenwick Island
for cunning and trapping purposes
was discussed. Considerable oppo-
sition has developed TO the leasing
OF these public lands TO private par
ties tor fear that in a short time
It would result in a few people get
ting control and consequently bar
ring many gunners who now enjoy
duck shooting on these lands from
the sport in the future. The COM
mission decided to notify all appli-
cants for leases for cunning and
trapping that action on the matter
would be postponed for the present.
The commission also announced
that the trapping, shooting or TAX
Ing Of muskrats on the public lands
In any way would be barred. The
commission feels that a closed sea-
son for muskrats on these lands for
two or three years would increase
The value Of the land for trapping
purposes.

Safety Deposit Free.

The story comes from Scottsburg
and 1t shows all the shrewd persons
are not In the large centers of popu-
lation. A stranger Of ordinary ap-
pearance and apparently Of moderate
means walked into the bank and
asked to borrow So. He was told the
bank did not loan such small sums,
but when he insisted that the business
of bank was to loan money, that he
needed the sum mentioned and that
he had good collateral, the note was
made out, the banker regarding 1t as
a good joke. Then the stranger
pulled out $4,000 worth Of Liberty
bonds as collateral and left them, re-
marking that at another bank they
had wished to charge him SIS for q
safety deposit box to keep them In,
but now the bank would keep them for
him free, and he would have the banks

ing enforced throughout the country,
some of the most notorious resorts
being affected by it's operation.
Conferences will discuss the pro-
posal made by certain directors that
Bertillion records be kept of every
captured bootlegger and moonshiner
in order that prompt and accurate
identification may be made of per-
sons who violate the prohibition laws
as we'll as other criminals. The
records would be sent to the police
departments all over the country,
and it is believed, would aid material
ly in suppressing bootleggers' ac-
tivities.
Unspeakable conditions surround
the manufacture of bootleg whiskey

ceived by Commissioner Haynes con-
corning the unsanitary location of

Perhaps the most revolving method
employed by violation which has yet
come to the notice of the enforce
