WARNING GIVEN ON
CUTTING G:'|REENERY
Law Forbids Spoliation
Within 100 Yards of Any
State Highway
pafly Dispatch Bureau.

halelgh, Dec. 8.-Don't get your
christmas decorations within leo
yards OF any North Carolina highway.
unless you own the land on which .ho
decorations grow or ua!css you hava
express consent from the land owner
State Forester J. S. Holmes has just
issued warning, the law governing
"spoliation" of lands adjacent to high
ways will be strictly enforced and =;
special effort made to capture viola
tors.
The act to which he called atten-
tenor provides a fine of up to $50,
or Imprisonment for not more than
so days of 'any person, not being on
his lands, or without consent of the
owner thereof, who shall, within one
hundred yards of any State highway
of North Carolina or within a like dis
lance of any other public road or
highway, willfully commit any dam
age, injury or spoliation to or upon
any tree, wood, underwood, timber,
garden, crops, vegetables, plants,
lands, springs or any other matter or
thing growing or being thereon, or
who cuts, breaks, injuries or removes
any tree, plant or flower within such
limits, or shall deposit any trash, de-
bris, garbage, or litter within such
limits
The State forester pointed out that
to violate the provisions of this sta
tute is not only to damage private
property, but is an offense against
all the people who have a right to en-
joy the natural beauties of the road
sides.
One Of the most effective weapons
in the campaign against spoliation
has been a marked increase in the
number of people who not only frown
upon such practices, but who are in
terested enough to report violations
to the property authorities.

COTTON HOLDS OWN
DESPITE BIG CROP
Slight Strength Shown on Theory
Prices Have About Reached
Lowest Levels

New York, Dec. 8-(AP)-Cotton
futures opened quiet, three points low
er to two higher, with traders evening
up for the government crop report.
Failure of selling to increase in the
face of the sharp gains in the crop
estimate to the largest indicated total
on record led most traders to believe
the estimates had been discounted in
advance March sold up to 1893, and
was at 100 around midday, with
prices generally one point net lower
to two higher. In New Orleans, de-
spite the all-time record crop esti-
mates, cotton prices advanced 3 to 10
points on first trade after announce
ment of the forecast.
Trade circles attributed this to the
stronger technical position of the mar
ket, to government loans and the
theory that prices had about reached
their resistance levels.

son people who have heard of it, lest
the agitation should bring results and
eventually divert traffic from the pre-
sent national highway, which passes
through Henderson.
Information here today was that
the proposed re-routing of the high
way had been surveyed and it was
claimed a saving of II miles was pos
sible between Roanoke river and Ra-
leigh over the new route. 1t is I'M
officially estimated that construction
of a new paved highway over the
route sought would cost some ST.
600. 900.
1t is understood the survey made
would branch the new road off from
the present Route 1 at Roanoke river,
run by way of Warrenton, thence to
Louisburg and by Rolesville into Ra-
leigh.
According to information, a good
deal of ground work has been done
without much ballyhOo, and the urge
here today was that Henderson and
the other towns along Route 1 from
the river into Raleigh would do we'll
to protect their own interests by
arousing themselves against the pro-
posal.
There has been considerable agita-
ton here in favor of the widening
of Route one by two feet between
Henderson and Norlina, stretch that
bears the greatest volume of traffic,
since routes from western North Car
DINA and from the south and north,
and to Norfolk, converge in this strip
of territory.
A Henderson citizen who was in
Warrenton Monday at the time of the
meeting told about it here today, and
said he thought Henderson should
,sscrt itself for its own protection.

Bruins, Leafs And
Officials Put On
Hockey Side Show
BY ERNEST BARCELLA

UNITED Press STAN COrreSpOndent)
Boston, Jan. MISUNDERSTANDING
Bros. g. Barnum and Bailey are a
pretty swell circus outfit, too. But
my vote for the best combined
troupe of 1897 goes today to the
Toronto Maple Leafs 81 Boston
Bruins, Inc, Of the National Hockey
league-the little devils.
Those old rascals put on one OF
the grandest shows you ever did see
as q sell-out crowd Of $4,000 roared
their pretty little heads off at the
Garden last night.
A three-ring circus? Tskl Tskl
These Leafs and Bruins aren't pix
ers! No sir! Why they played
everything from ing-around-rosey
to top hat, white ties and tails
(honest).
Please don't misunderstood me.
Technically speaking, they did play
some mighty bruising hockey. In
fact, one Of the best games seen
here this season.
But 1t was the skits they staged
on the side that really stole the
show.
For while, II looked as II Man.
ager Connie (Whatta CardD Smythe
of the Leafs would take top honors
for the best side-show. AS adver-
tised, Connie showed up on the
bench at game time dressed in
formal morning mufti--to carry out
q dare made by his arch enemy,
ce-Presidcnt and Manager Art
Ross of the Bruins.
Then, quite Unexpectedly, Presi-
dent Westy Adams Of the Bruins APP
peared on the scene wearing the real
thing for an evening function-top
hat, white tic and tails.
But you hadn't seen nuthin' yet!
The real show--also unexpected
came midway through the third pc
Rod.
1t all started when Boston's
Hooley Smith resented bit Of
holding on Toronto Jimmy Fowler's
part. First thing you knew Smith
was wrestling with Red Horner also
of the Torontos. Through a tricky
combination of a Kerry flip, top
body press and Ir ~ whip, Hooley
finally won the fall by freezing
Horner's face.
All this time. Boston's Ray Get
life and Goalic Hal Broda Of the
Leafs were having their private lit
tie brawl Off In one corner. Then
practically every rival player was
hugging the other. almost ex-
pected the management to dim the
lights for a moonlight waltz.
A lot OF punches also were thrown.
But from my particular perch they
didn't seem harmful enough to
mash q boiled potato.
Horner finally came up swinging
like he was waving at somebody
he knew.
Here the play had just about run
itself out and while Referee Babe
Dye stood idly by, his partner, Bald
Bill Stcw6rt restored order BY send"
Ing Smith. Horner, GctIifYe and
Fowler TO the Jug fer five minutes.
Oh yes. Toronto won at hockey,
SO. I almost forgot.
