WANT NEW GAME LAWS CAFE MAY MEN GO TO WASHINGTON TO PROTEST AGAINST EXISTING REGULATIONS. K if . K ' A hearing was had on Tuesday, June ' J 27th, before an Official Board of the U. ' c & Biological Survey in Washington, r upon the various questions arising from f certain Federal restrictions, present and proposed, upon the rights of the people, to hunt the wild fowl frequenting ' jr. the waters of the various states. > Ij is well knowq that Bince the earlf lest settlement of this country the control of hunting has been almost en- . tlrely a local matter; first, by the I P" never*! colonies, and later by the in-. ' dividual states into which those col- j 1 onies merged, or which grew out of. the |' Bi.\ wilderness, or out of the lands added to ' our onion from time to time by pur- 1 i chase or conquest. It is equally well known that each ' | " state and territory has its own code 1 of game laws-, varying according to i ? conditions of locality, latitude, climate and the habits and migrations of the A game, native or transient, within its ' Quite recently the Federal Government has shown a strong and increasing disposition to take from the states centralize the same under Federal juris- ■ f diction. F From the very first many lawyers I have doubted, and some have flatly de- 1 |, nied, the power of the general govern- 1 ment to do this, and its constitutional ■ right was promptly challenged In the E - Federal Courts. F The first case was tried in a Western Br - state and brought a prompt decision i | against the government and in favor of < E ..." state control. A second decision and j . by another court upheld, while a third ! I again denied, the powers of the central ■, ' government! and affirmed the rights of n the people of the various states acting., through their legislatures. The matter was carried to the IT. S. • , b Supreme Court whose decision, long f awaited, is still withheld. A Federal -i ' statute however, places the matter j E • within the control of the authorities ' first .mentioned, a branch of the Dept. ■ of Agriculture, and a set of regulations!, has been made, issued and attemptedly | , enforced, often varying from, and some- | "time flatly conflicting with State law; E to the perplexity and hardship alike of gunners, resident and non-resident, B. - properly holders and lawyers; Insomuch that a citizen of almosp any t- state licensed and desiring in good faith, P- as every true sportsman does, to comply i with the laws of his sUte, may find himself a criminal and liable to fine or ' imprisonment by the strong arm of the mi Federal law and this pending the decision of the Court of Last Resort it to the very right of the Government so to penalize him.

In this already complicated state of things the Department has under consideration other changes of time, oon- . Alliens and manner of hunting, or rather of not hunting; as the tendency appears to be toward further restrictions and . . rather in the interest of the wild game | . than of the sportsman. Deep and increasing feeling has been I aroused in all waterfront sections of this , and perhaps other states, and when pub- j notice was given of said proposed restrictions, and of public hearings by . . the Depart ufent thereon, meetings were . held in various localities and committees appointed to appear before the Fed- , eral Commission in the interest' of the ^ The delegates from Cape May Coun- ] . ty, Messrs. Hildreth, Steel and Colo were met by Counsellor Frank L. Feck- ! ham of . Washington Ba^ who placed . | himself, his auto and liis thorough ■ j knowledge of Departmental practice • absolutely 'at their service; and from i j tjie moment of arrival to that of de- . parture devoted himself entirely to their. mission with the proverbial courtesy of i the Southern gentleman and the zeal • of a true lawyer. He had already as- ' i certained the hour, place and conditions • ' th<' hearing and the Board before I • which it was to be held; leaving the I delegates the entife evening to confer | together and prepare their case. . On Tuesday morning a meeting of the . Ocean ounty and Cape May men was ! i held in the office of Congressman Bach- i . uraoh who joined the delegates and cordially aided their work. The resolu- | l tions of the Cape May sportsmen tallied | . exactly with the wishes of the upper | . coast men and prompt agreement was [ had on all points l The Board before which the united delegations appeared consisted of . i Messrs. H. W. Hens hall. Biologist and ( l Chief of the Bureau; E. W. Nelson, as- | ' sistant; A. K. Fisber, assistant in charge I j of Economic Investigation, and later Mr. | I I D. C. Mercer, of the same bureau. I • Congressman Bacharach named the E gentlemen present and at his suggestion f Judge Hildreth opened the matter in I j liis usual suave and clear cut manner. . adverting to the deep feeling among the ' ! ( sportsmen of the coast at the present I ; condition of the game laws and at the! r | further changes which he understood to I | contemplated, and against which . i there appeared to be a- decided consensus > of opinion to the extent of bringing to- . ■]gether the people of. many localities, - seeking to obtain different conditions ; in the matter of gunning. That he was f not, himself, a gunner to any great ex- , tent but attributed his presence on the - delegation to his practice as a counsel - r lor and the confidence of the people in , his willingness to present to the Fed- - eral authorities their wishes as de- i 1 clared to him. That one of his col- 1 r leagues was both gunner and lawyer, " and the other a practical gunner and - game warden of long experience, well s known zeal, and with exceptional o knowledge of the subject matter from • all standpoints. That both were better s prepared to stand a cross-examination t than himself, and he would Mk Mr. S dole to present the subject to concrete e form as the delegates had conferr-j e apon it and were of one - AddrsMtog th« thmUa Mr. Cole «»Md the em of the expatt base ball

player who e-j'aimd to his audience a the matter and manner of meeting the t curve-, twisis, 'reboots, drois vie., c.f s a certain plicbi " "You see if yuu want I to hit the balls where they are, why, A you'll miss 'em because they ain't there; a so if you hit 'em ,at all you've just r got to hit 'em where they aint." t This advice he said was evidently the 4 theory and model on which our present Federal regulations were based. 1 They might be condensed fhto a para- 1 graph as follows: "Jerseyman may hunt 1 waterfowl when it is somewhere else, c hut not when it is where they can get- 4 it." Theat birds visiting our coast for c a few weeks in Spring on the way to 1 Hudson Bay or Labrador were rigidly 4 protected, and an open season was <j granted reaching to a time when they were along the shores of Mexico. The * same folly exists in the case of shel- _ drakes, only accessable in March and April, but open to our shooting while they are on the Great Lakes or Western rivers. As to the black dude, our principal game bird," we were deprived of February, our best month, while October now given us should be dosed; as the ducks< were just arriving, poor, pin- * feathery and easily driven away If hunt- J ed before they are located. That at least one hour after sunset and fcfefore ' sunrise were absolutely necessary frf ducks were to be obtained, as all went t to sea at sunrise and remained offshore till dark, except in such storms as make it unsafe for man to venture out. * Reading from a table showing the ^ state and federal laws, the present and proposed regulations, he showed conflicting and apparently absurd conditions in the department's zone rule, and : t from the resolutions adopted by meet- j ings of tiff people of the county, what . was desired by the guauers. Noticing j these referenda! the chairman asked that the documents be given them to file and consider, which was done. He j held, that Federal rules should accord 1 with the State law as the latter best j , conformed to local conditions and was J more responsive thereto than a code framed in Washington by central au- £ thority. Warden Steel then took the floor fortified with a thorough knowledge of existing law, state and federal; with an 'experience of five years in enforcing the I j same, constantly in touch with hunters . ■ of all classes and himself an ardent | sportsman, he handled the subject at) length and without gloves. With a bluntness that made the law- 1 yers gasp and the laymen to look at 8 each other, he told the commission that- , proposed regulations were fitted to j . j make law breakers of even the best dis- ) posed hunters. That they were so evi- . unfair to the people, of our toast i , that law-abiding Sportsmen, let alone ) those who were not, would be certain • to oppose and probably to break them. , Be went so far as to say that he knew . of one or more prominent and wealthy t sportsmen who would encourage eva- * f sion or even violation, by backing with I | legal and financial aid, men who were . ! arrested for doing so. He stated this not ' 3 jag a threat, but as an existing condi- ' f I tion, and that if the Government as rep- . resented by his hearers proposed going ■ 1 1 further in that direction and tried to enforce the suggested rules they would e need a very large force of wardens. s That on the other hand if the Federal . | regulations conformed to the wishes of . the people, every reputable sportsman . jand sportsman's blub would practically j be a law enforcer, and that associations rjof such kind would be formed to sej cure the best results. , Up to this point the hearing had been j literally a hearing, thp Commissioners f being good listeners; but now cross - j examination -set in strongly and it was . give and take to the end. The warden • , however was able to meet all comers I and held his ground, j Oyster Commissioner Austin, of Ocean t , County, next got busy and proved to be i a thorough expert,, completely at home ' 1 with subject and court. He has been i , for years the spokesman of the coast :• men of the upper counties, a member of ■ t various committees and commissions. 8 Having on his tongue's end the whol • i subject matter, present, past and prosi pective, he spared neither his words nor s his hearers and backed and amplified - . the previous speakers. If the saying ^ >, true that "faithful are the wounds of a ^ s friend," he was by far the best friend s the Fedeial gentlemen had in the,* del- • opt t ions. When he finished little ree maiued to be said, and his colleague, ■ - Assemblyman Conrad mildly poured oil a on the slightly troubled water while - endorsing the position of his associates. - j The Commissioners then produced and - 'read a series of replies to card inquiries \ they had sent out along the coast, largei 1'y to keepers of Coast Guard Stations. II The replies were largely optimistic, and 1 a smile that was slightly audible was n raised by an innocent remark from one r of the delegates as to how happily the n answers of these keepers agreed with the 1 '. known views of their questioners in e Washington. I I The Commissioners dosed by thanking < the delegates for their attendance and ■ e suggestion*. That while they would II not now commit themselves as to their

senWi; and whBe emphasising the largeness of the whole country, and the difficulty of framing rules suiting all sections, they hoped to be able to minimize actual causes of grievance. That the greatest good to the greatest number x^as their wish. Congressman Bacharach pleasantly them on behalf of his constituents, present and absent, and hastened away to his congressional duties; the conclave then dissolved Itself into units, and the world moved on. In formal conference among themselves toe said units agreed that the ground had been thoroughly covered, and nothing left unor unsaid that Ihey might have done or said. The outcomf is to be awaited.
