opportunity OF taxing any part IN the
great sport.
The state has taken keen interest in
trying to preserve what little game we
have left. 1t is the policy of the State
of Mississippi to build up its fish and
game industry. To accomplish this pur-
pose every unit in the organization
from the commissioner down to the most
remote hunter of the state, must work
ogether-harmony, teamwork and un-
derstanding must prevail if future gen
erations are to enjoy the great sport of
our forefathers. Every hunter who pur-
chases a license is furnished a copy of
the game laws, and of course is ex-
pected to familiariZe himself with them.
These laws reflect the policy of the
state, but the hunter should look be-
yond the letter of the laws and catch
the vision of their spirit.
In these hunts the game wardens will
play very prominent part. Wardens
are not mere fish and game protectors.
They are much more than that. They
are the state personified, and repre-
sent its interest in executing the law.
The state is not mere section of earth
confined within certain boundaries.
The state is the spirit of the people;
the instrument through which the peo
pie by their chosen representatives
transact their public business. Hence,
the warden, as citizen Of the state,
has & personal interest in his work
equal to that Of any other citizen. He
is not man apart from his neighbors
ard other citizens. He is one of them.
He has different duties to perform, of
course, but their interest and his are
the same; namely, the maintenance of
conditions that make for the greatest
degree of health, happiness and pros
perity and the greatest good to the
greatest number of our people and their
guests The warden should and does
regard himself as stockholder with an
interest in the fish and game business
beyond that of hired man.

COURTROOM, DECATUR, Ala,

negro's right to serve on Southern

han today denied motion OF de-

venire in the famous Scottsboro
attack case.
Judge Callahan brought the
defense attack on the jury venire
to a close a few minutes after
court convened, and after only
one witness had been placed on
the stand.
Quoting State Supreme Court

violation of the Fourteenth

The Supreme Court rulings
which Judge Callahan read had
turned thumbs down on previous
attacks on alleged discrimination
against Negroes for jury service

The judge, denying the trial
shift, ruled the defense had failed
to prove prejudice. He said the
defense witnesses were outlanders
while the State witnesses lived
here and should be able better to

CHICAGO, Nov. % GN.S.).
Earle Wynekoop, husband OF
the mysteriously slain Rheta
Gardner Wynekoop, was seized
by police today when he ap-
peared suddenly at the home Of
his mother, DR.. Alice Lindsay
Wynekoop, scene Of the murder.
Young Wynekoop, hatless, carry
ing a heavy suitcase, entered the
back door of the big three-story
house. AS he walked to the front
of the house, a policeman on duty
there seized him by the arm.
He led him to the front door and
thence into an automobile, which
was driven rapidly away, pre-
sumably to the Fillmore police
station.
Solution Seen Near
Wynekoop's appearance halted
nationwide search Chicago
police had instituted for his ap-
prehension for questioning in con-
nection with the operating table
murder of his pretty young red
haired wife.
Solution of the mysterious muir"
der was declared imminent by De-
tective Chief William Shoemaker,
who declared:
"The solution to the murder
of Rheta Wynekoop rests be-
tween the mOther-in-law and
the husband. We have practi-
calIy established that the girl
was slain after she had par
taken of the evening dinner at
the WynekOOp home and that
the killing was done by some
one in the household"
Confession Predicted
Police Capt. John Siege added
one more sensation to the amaz-
ing chain of circumstances when
he made the terse prediction that
"I'll have a confession before this
day is DONE"
After questioning members Of
the family all night and most Of
the morning, Captain Siege an
nounced that all indications
point to the murderer as per-
son in whom Rheta Wynekoop
had absolute confidence.
A circumstance that police arS
unable to explain as yet is why
young Wynekoop did not visit
his wife, although he was known
to have been in Chicago several
days and apparently had de-
parted by automobile for Kansas
City several hours before Mrs.
Wynekoop was slain.
Still another development today
was the discovery, police say, Of
chloroform burns on the slain
girls face. A chloroform mask
was also found, leading investi-

HEADSHOLD
His Company's Bids on Alumni
mum Held Up Until Code
Is Accepted

Former Secretary of the
Treasury Andrew W. Mellon
today found himself classed
with Henry Ford as an OPP
ponent of the national indus
trial recovery act.
The Navy Department moved
to hold up bidding on about
100000 worth of aluminium,
pending the acceptance of a rea-
sonable code for the aluminium in
dustry by the Mellon-controlled
Aluminium Company of America,
which has a monopoly on the pro-
duction and milling of aluminium
in this country.
Bid Opening Deferred
Bids on the contract were to
have been opened next Wednes-
day, but the Navy, at the request
of independent fabricators of the
metal. agreed to postpone opening
of the bids until December q.
Postponement of the awarding
of the contract will bring to a
showdown the refusal of the
Aluminium Company of America
to permit the MIRA to put in the
aluminium code a provision max
ing it an unfair trade practice for
the company to furnish ingot
aluminium to it's own fabricating
subsidiaries at less cost than to
independent fabricators.
Foreign Product Barred
Foreign aluminium cannot be
used in the Navy work, as Il
tracts require that every bolt and
plank of the new vessels must be
produced and finished in this
country.
The Borah amendment to the
national industrial recovery act
forbids approval by the President
of codes which permit monopo-
lies or monopolistic practices. !"
The Independents and the NRA
probably will force the Aluminium
Company of America to prove it
is not monopoly given to mon
opOliStic practices.

Arthur Brisbane recently quoted w. A. Seldom, vice
pdesident Of the Seaboard Air Line, as stating that
the one bright spot on the railroad map is the move
ment of ~perishable fruits and vegetables out of southern
Florida. Then, Mr.. Brisbane adds the significant fact
that so-called tariff reformers have a scheme to wipe out
these "bright spots f'They would, y he adds, "reduce
the tariff on such food products, and throw our market
open to competition. This would mean that Mexican per-
ishable fruits and vegetables would supply this country.
Everybody has a friendly feeling for Mexico, but Ameri-
cans should eat things grown by other Americans on
United States soil.'
There can be no question of the soundness of Mr.. Bris-
bane's statement. The same reasoning applies to other
products grown on the American farm, with which the
foodstuffs of Canada, and countries come
into competition. The reasoning is sound in spite of the
claims of the free traders that the protective tariff gives
our farmers no benefit. When talking about farm pro-
ducts the free traders have only wheat in mind. For pur-
poses of argument it is the only agricultural commodity
of which they take any cognizance, although it is by no
means the most valuable crop Of the American farmer.
Another bright spot might be created for the railroads
in the business picture by the shutting out of foreign coal
and foreign oil. This would undoubtedly be a boon not
only to the coal miners and operators Of the country but
to the railroads who would get the job Of hauling the
black diamonds from the coal fields of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia to the east coast. In fact a great many
things would be accomplished by a sane adjustment of
the tariff which would be made with a view to helping
American and not the New York importers and European
and Japanese employers of cheap labor.
