by the high court Holding that Rev. Swensons
Lutheran church did not countenance the confess
sion, Judge Guilford warned the minister that UNI
less he testified on what Sundseth had told him a
contempt of court sentence would be imposed.
Sundseth told the judge that confessions made
to Lutheran pastor were equally privileged with
any other confession Lutheran groups of the state
took the ensuing to the state supreme court In
the courts opinion, to be privileged confession to
clergyman must be ''penitential in character and
made him in his professional character as clergy
man in confidence while seeking religious or spirit

The court cannot require the disclosure OF the
confession if it is privilege the high court ruled but
must determine that question from the circum-
stances and facts leading up to the making OF the
confession"
The disclosure should not be required unless it
appears that the claim of privilege is enormously
made the court held Under the facts stated in the
opinion the confession was privileged.
The decision was viewed victory by Luth-

an interest in Swensons and had led the light

More Deer, More Tourists,

Washington-Two herds, threat

ion, form the latest nightmare of
trouble brought upon officials by the
too prolific mule der of the Kaibao
National Forest, a high plateau on
the north rim Of the Great Canyon

American Game Association, is the
tourist herd-which are also in
creased at great rate on the north
rim Of the canyon, largely be-
cause of the added attraction sup
piled by the Kaibab's deer.
The tourists, but especially Ari-
zona citizens interested in this hui
man herd, have raised a howl
against efforts Of government agen-
cies to reduce the deer herd.
A growing faction Is claiming
that If the number of deer is de-
creased the north rim tourist trade
will die out. The officials, repre-
senting the U. s. Forest Service. the

Game and Fish Commission, have

fish, says a bulletin of the Amer
lean Game Association.
Barbless hooks are easy to re-
move and seldom seriously injure
fish caught on them. Game offic-
iais believe their wider use will
prevent tremendous waste of un-
dersized fish caught and returned to
the water badly lacerated.
Many sportsmen are reported to
be using the barbless hooks and re-
turning all of their catch to the
water, declaring they fish for the
sport and not for meat.

Natures War Birds Entered
In Rodent Fight

Observation-Disclosures of dead

itural colleges as an urgent neces-
sity in combating a threatened
large increase in the number of
field rats, mice and other rodents
and the possible destruction of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth Of crops.
The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture has issued a warning that due
to the drought and the mild winter
an unusual number of rodents can
be expected in most sections of the
country, according to a bulletin of
the American Game Association.
Rudolph Bennitt of the depart
ment of zoology of the University
of Missouri has devised the Mis-
souri, department of fish and game
to encourage protection of benefic-
ial hawks and owls. Among the
most effective enemies of rodents.
Though there are more than 80
species of hawks and owls in the
state, Bennitt said, and only four

Unfortunately and indirectly

eating birds and gone from de-
structive small animals.
Sportsmen and farmers, before
shooting hawks and owls, should
apply to their state game depart
ments for detailed information on
which species are harmful and their
description, the association report
advised. This was declared i'm
Iportant since certain species con-
sidered undesirable in one section
have been declared valuable in an
other.
The only hawks generally recog-
nized by game officials as enem-
les of bird life are the Coopers or
"blue hawk" the sharp-shinned
hawk, the goshawk and the scarce
duck hawk and prairie falcon, the
report stated. The outlawed owl
is the great horned owl.

Crime to Burn Fields

Washington-"The time is fast APP

be recognized as crime to be
controlled by some official agency
in the opinion of Seth Gordon, pres
ident of the American Game ASA
citation.
"To penalize a man for killing
game out of season and then let
his neighbor destray ten times as
much with one match, because of
his erroneous belief that burning
off his land will help his crops, is
not at all equitable.
1.-THE many forest fires started
by this practice, and it's wholesale
destruction of game, especially of
nesting ground birds in the spring,
will not long be tolerated-now
that the nation has been awaken
ed to the waste of forest fires and
the plight of game" Mr.. Gordon

Washington That warning to

the water has been paralleled in
Maryland by legal advice which is
causing great stir among the ang-
lers of Virginia and West Virginia.
The attorney general of Mary
land recently dug up an old agree
Iment revealing the states bound
airy between her two neighbors to
be the opposite shore of the Potom-
&C River instead of the center of
the river, as it has ben commonly
understood for years.
If this opinion holds, comments
a news bulletin of the American
Game Association at Washington,
fishermen of the Virginias may
stand on the bank of the Potomac
all they please but can't cast a line
into the water without first paying
Maryland for a non resident ang-
ler's license.
By the same agreement, duck
hunters this fall may build their
blinds along Virginia shores but
will not be able to shoot over the
water without an accounting with
Maryland's game department.
Because of the controversy
aroused by the opinion, Game Com
missioner Swenson Earle, of Mary
land has invited officials of the adj
joining states to a conference early
in July where a mutually satisfac-
tory arrangement may be adopted.
Anglers of the District of Column
bia hope to be represented and to
profit by the decision. There being
no fishing in the District, residents
must now buy the higher non-resi-
dent license for all their fishing,
whether in Maryland or the Virgin
las.
The Maryland attorney generals
report if sustained may set other
states having lake and stream
boundaries to porting through old
files. Most states have a mutual
understanding that anglers Of eth
er state may fish from bank to
bank.

OF course was the absolute truth.
But Mr.. Coolidge, you wouldent
get him coming out declaring any,
hing as definite as that. Course
Calvin made good old straighta-
way, just what you would expect a
politician to say of any of his own
party, touched on politics of course,
and told what the Republican party
had accomplished under Mr.. Har-
ding. Even in death they got to
give the Grand Old Party boost.
But Mr.. Hoover really touched on
his humaness, and then when he
brought out so strong about how
his friends had imposed why that
was a fine and rather a brave thing
for a politician to do. Course it's
exactly what man in real life
would do. But when you are in
politics and depending on some-
body to keep you in, why you real
ly amt able to act like real life. It
must have been mighty nice af-
