WILL ISSUE WARRANTS
FOR AUTOISTS USING
1928 TAGS IN SUMTER
Grand Jury Not TO Be Consult
ed Regarding Criminal Ac-
ton 90 Be Instituted
TINE LIMIT EXPIRED
No More Applications to Be APP
proved By Sheriff, It Is
Announced Today

Sheriff Lucius Harvey is going to
make cases against all automobiles
operating cars in Sumter county
with 1928 tags. This became
known today when the sheriff au-
thorized the statement that the
time during which he is permitted
to approve applications for license
tags expired May 1. No more ap-
nlications will be approved
through his office, and just as soon
as other business will permit he
will begin having warrants issued
for offenders against the state mo,
tori vehicle law.
It is the sheriff's purpose, he
states, to bring all cases againso
such offenders in the City Court OF
Americas, swearing out warrants,
with accusations drawn by solicitor
Dan Chappell being based upon
such warrants. This insures a
speedy trial of all such cases with
out waiting for action by the grand
jury and Independent Of any no.
bill or other action that may be tat.
en- by that except in cases where
indictments are returned against
accused individuals, and in which
instances, such cases take the same
course as though warrants had been
issued.
So, it is stated, all persons who
have cars without 1924 tags must
either lay these aside for the re-
mainder of the year or pay stiff
penalty for not having already s.
cured these.

Senate Agrees To
Insurance Bonus

WARRINGTON, May Without
a record vote, the senate late
Thursday adopted the soldier bonus
insurance bill as agreed by the
house and senate conferees. After
the house acts, probably today, the
measure will go to the president.
Before the vote was taken sena-
tors Underwood, of Alabama, and
Reed, of Missouri, criticized the
measure. The conferees made the
provisions of the measure effective
March /, next, and struck out a
senate amendment which would pre-
vent the charging of compound ir-
terest on loans made on bonus in
surance policies.
A slight furry arose when the
report of the conferees was pre-
scented. An effort by Senator Curtis
of Kansas, republican whip, to have
it approved by the few senators who
were present aroused objection, and
a roll call was ordered.
Senator Underwood OF Alabama,
who voted against the bill declared
that he wanted to express his OBJ
lection to the conference report be
cause he opposed the legislation,
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi
author of the amendment to prevent
compound interest being charged on
loans when the soldier was in ar
rears on his payments, protested
against this concession on the part
of senate conferees, but said he
would Voc for the renort.

MEDICINE BOW FOREST
HOME OF MANY
ANIMALS AND BIRDS

A recent estimate of game animals
OF The Medicine Bow National Forest
indicates that deer are about hold
ing their own while elk are on the
increase due to the continued pro-
lection given them. Elk are now
commonly found on the Bow River,
Cedar and Coad mountains and with
In the Sheep Mountain game refuge.
A conservative estimate places the
number Of deer on the Forest at
1000 and the elk at 300. Due to
early SHOWS. conditions for trailing
deer during the hunting season we're
more favorable than usual and as a
result more deer were killed than
during the average year. Reports
were received showing that 90 bucks
were killed on the Forest /but it is
certain that many We're killed which
no record was secured of.
A large number of willow and blue
grouse were killed on the Forest
both during the summer by game
violators and by sportsmen during
the established hunting season. The
number has been reduced to n low
figure and it is imperative that the
season be closed for a period of
years If grouse are to become a COM
mon sight on the Medicine Bow. 1t
also seems that some action must
be taken to keep the 22-rifle out
of the hands of the tourist if the
Illegal killing of grouse is to be pre-
vented during the summer months.
The ptarmigan or mountain quail
which inhabits only the region above
timber line on the Snowy Range is
but holding its own. Fighting con-
stantly against the weather, both in
winter and in summer, ii seems re-
markable that the bird is able to
secure sufficient food supplies.
Those who have climbed to the fire
lookout on Medicine Bow Peak have
frequently seen these birds which in
spring are a mottle of brown and
white, then become entirely brown in
summer and with the approach of
winter turn a pure white, all Of these
colors serving as a protective color

LAW PROVIDES
 | CHILD SUPPORT
Alleged Father Of He gitimate Wins Case
 Under Old Code
(State Capital Bureau(

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 20.-Un- der the law as it existed prior to the adoption of the new code of 1923, a juvenile court was without authority to compell the father of at illegitimate child to support the child, under a de cision by the supreme court today. The decision was handed down in case originating prior to the adoption of the new code, which contains a provision making the father of an illegitimate child liable to the same penalties as It's lawful father, in non-support cases. " The supreme courts decision was in the case in which Jess Newsome, Mont gomery county, sought writ of pro- fhibition to prohibit the Montgomery juvenile court judge from collecting from him $2 per week for support of his al | legged child pending appeal to the circuit court from judgment of conviction for non-support of the child and to further prohibit the juvenile court judge from punishing the petitioner for contempt of court upon his failure to pay the $2 weekly pending appeal. The supreme court granted the writ of prohibition sought.
 It was held by the court that the act of 1919 providing penalties for 'par- ent" for failure to support a child did not apply to the father of an illegitimate child who is not legally it's parent"
 The supreme court pointed out that the 1925 code contains provision writ
 ten by the code commissioner, and adop
