SEIZE JACKLICHT
RUN BY DRY CELL
BATTERIES, ZINC CASE

One of the most unique jacklights
ever seized by a Maine game warden
was on exhibition at the State Mus
cum yesterday. This device con-
sisted of a light attached to band,
fastened around cap. The power
was furnished by four dry cell bat
teries in zinc case, which was car
ried in a knapsack by the user. "A
switch which could conveniently
be carried in the pocket, and by
which the light was turned on and
off. governed the use OF the same.
1t appears from the records at the
department that this light was seiz-
ed in northern Maine, near the
Canadian boundary, short time
since by a posse of secret game war
dens who were sent into that terri
tory by Commissioner Parsons. The
department had received many COM
plants that lacking was going on In
that section, as well as other VIOLA
tons of the inland fish and game
laws, and secretly dispatched three
strange wardens to the territory. The
wardens had not been long in the
Maine woods before they met Can
adian, with this jacklight in pos
session. AS the result of this incl
dent the state treasury was enriched
in the sum of 500, the fine paid by
the defendants.
AS the second chapter OF the in
cident, the defendant, Dominique
Bolduc in this case has made demand
upon the Department of Inland
Fisheries and Game for return of the
light which was seized from him and
a refund Of the fine paid, his claim
being now that the device seized
was not a jacklight but simply a
1lashlight.
Another group Of secret wardens
recently investigated parties sus-
pected of lacking in the vicinity of
Durham. These wardens were de-
tailed for duty there upon receipt OF
numerous complaints of irregularities
in that section. They followed a car
one night that was using light,
sweeping the highway on both sides
alternately, apparently with a view
of getting a deer. The wardens fin
ally overlook the car and one of the
occupants started to run towards
the woods. One of the wardens fol-
lowed him, first taking as evidence
the gun which was in the automobile.
The man was overtaken within a few
rods and when he and the warden
returned to the road the automobile
ndu QlSdppedT6u. by clever WOTk on
the part of the warden this inciden.
resulted in the payment of fine of
$50 and costs, imposed in the Belfast
court, by Frank Ford, charged with
having a loaded rifle in an automo-
bile.
From the Orient section. AroostooF
county, comes an interesting story of
lacking. There had been complaints
Of an epidemic of jack-lighting in
that section and wardens were re-
quested to give that locality special
attention. In consequence of that
investigation wardens Roy Whittier
and Frank Bartlett have reported
case of State VS.. Hollis Scanlin Of
Weston, charged with hunting in the
night time, using a jack. In conse-
quence of this incident the State
treasury has been enriched in by
500. the fine imposed by the court
in this case.
A number Of other wardens have
equally interesting experiences in
investigating jacklights. and as re-
suit the department has on hand
enough jacklights to start a small
hardware store.

plished and 1t is for this reason that
the open meeting has been arranged.
at which all will be able to see and
hear at first hand what has been
done.
At the meeting arrangements will
be made for the SNORING of several
reels of moving pictu.es all dealing
with Maine, touching ON her recrea-
tional, agricultural and industrial at
fractions.
All of these pictures have been
! made in conjunction with the De-
velopment and Publicity program and
have already been deemed of suf-
ficient interest and Importance by
the national and international NOV
ing picture companies Of New York to
have been released throughout the
United States and in some instances
in foreign countries, each having been
viewed by over 20,000,000 people.
Running hand in hand with the
paid newspaper and magazine adver-
Using made possible by the appro-
priations of the cities and towns to
the Maine Development Associa-
ton, there has been conducted an
intensive campaign through the press
of the country for free publicity
through stories on Maine of every
nature, which have been thought of
sufficient interest that they have
been printed without cost to the
State.
Clippings on hand at the offices of
the State Of Maine Publicity Bureau
show a total of $4,000 lines. The
average cost per line for the States
display advertising has Been IS cents
per lire which would give these clip
- tive VaIYYa nf
over $441,000.
These clippings will be on hand for
inspection at the open meeting.
Plans for Surveys Of State
Plans now drawn W for complete
surveys Of the State will also be Oh

ciates, whereby one subscription can
be made at one time for all con-
cerned, This will bring about q
united front and a United States, all
working to one end, and preventing
overlapping and duplication ana
assuring the utmost of service out
of every dollar received.
The budget system has been work
ed out after several meetings OF the
Associates, at which have been pres
emit leading citizens of the State who
are executives Of the associations,
whose business ability and integrity
