The other letter received from

included in last weeks message, also
a quotation from a letter received by

shown in Martins splurges by the To-

of deep concern to him. The question

The article published In the Bulle-

quoting Mr. Houck, their attorney, as
saying that he would recommend to
the international against them having
anything to do with the case. The
statement has since been confirmed.
Mr.. F1yzik is taking the matter up
with Mr.. Lewis during his present
visit to indianapolis.
He asks the question: Why doesn't
Brother Short meet him before the in
ternational convention? In the first
place Flyzik's attorney swore to the
court, on his application for postpone
ment, that the matter would not come
up there, and in the second place the
call for the miners international con-

from the miners constitution, which
would prohibit it:

hunters to the almost inaccessible

AS a result the Dutch government OF
New Guinea is considering a law to
protect them The birds are found
amid high mountains and waste, foul
smelling swamps and jungle, and hun
dreds of gunners, brave these perils
every year. Sometimes a party is
compelled TO live for months amid
perlls of poisonous everglades sur
rounded by deadly reptiles, hostile
savages and proWling animals. The
