Laws Desired Outlined After Discussion of 139 Subjects. BV WILLIAM F. COLLINS Times Special Writer There are a number of antique laws on our statute books relating to fish and game. A large number of Indiana sportsmen have complained about the inadequacy of the old laws tc meet modern conditions Up to the moment it has been mv experience in trying to get a revision of these laws through the legislature that conservation subjects were the last order of business and thp most carefully thought out bills were keyholed, pigeonholed, pocketed or tabled or done something to that politicians know about when they are not interested. Then for two more years we struggle along with inadequate remedies looking pleasant and waiting for the next session always hoping and seldom accomplishing. There promises to be a different outcome when the next legislature meets. Eighteen men, representing eighteen different divisions of Indiana, each man the spokesman of the sportsmen s clubs from his division met in Turkey Run park and after the longest legislative session I ever sat in, worked out a program for the state, after discussion of 139 different subjects, all pertaining to present fish and game laws. Out of this welter of information there doubtless will develop anew code of legal rules for the Indiana conservation department. It is not passible to go deeply into the subject in the short space of this column. I will endeavor to briefly outline some of the more important aspects of the future laws, if not completely in this article, then in some future one. In the order of their importance, it strikes me that a lav; giving the

The Romantic and Beautifyl LOVE LETTERS OF DICKENS

Two Amazing Interludes in a Great Artist’s Life BY H. H. HARPER

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Probably the most amazing love romance history records is that of Charles Dickens for Maria Beadnell. It projects into the drama of Dickens’ life two amazing “interludes." The “First Interlude” terminated when the beautiful and wealthy Maria rejected the youthful and then unknown but brilliant Dickens, after three years of ardent courtship. The astounding "Second Interlude" was begun twenty-two years later. His lose for Maria, Dickens had always carried deep in his heart. He was now a world figure, wealthy, feted by royalty. Maria, still beautiful had married a staid sober business man named Winter. She wrote to Dickens. The old love flamed anew and produced a series of wonderful love letters in Dickens’ own handwriting, one of which literary authorities pronounce the "greatest love letter ever written.” Dickens now cools and wishes to withdraw, but Maria has the compromising letters. Maria now plays her last card.

IT requires no stretch of the imagination to picture the train | of romantic hopes to which this I bit of news gave rise in the mind | of Mrs. Winter; that she discreetly waited two months and a half | for conditions to calm down, bej fore undertaking to pierce Dick- | ens with her last Cupid's arrow. Recalling how his emotions had I been stirred three years before by ; her letter with its touching refer- | ence to the old days at Lombard street and also how her sister ; Anne had always sympathized with Charles and had held his i friendship until she died, in May, 1836 (three years after her wedding dav>. the persevering Maria again tried to revive his tender feelings by sending him a poem | written by Anne—the last remaining conciliatory weapon at i her command. This method of reawakening a lost love was not original with Maria; it has been resorted to thousands of times, before and since. In the letter accompanying the poem she asked Dickens to meet her in Liverpool as she was staying at her father's house nearby. Instead of bringing the ‘‘cold reproachful'’ answer she had made to his last boyhood appeal, it brought a warm, friendly reply, with a touching reference to the old past; that having shrewdly penetrated her designs he pleaded that the press of - 'business” made him so "self denying and heroic” that he could not see her. BBS BUT with his letters still in her hands, and his domestic eruption fresh in the public mind. Maria was still a possible menace; therefore, after discouraging her all he could, he discreetly dropped

department discretionary power to regulate hunting and fishing by zones leads the list. If that law is passed, it w-ill be possible for the administration to open or close the season by giving ample notice of intention in any locality where the game or the fish have been done to death, either by the human element or the natural As an example, if natural disaster or human hands take all the small mouth bass out of a certain stream, leaving it barren of that species, it will be possible to close that stream on the taking of small mouth bass, restock it and hold the season closed until nature has restored the balance That is a common sense thing to do. It does no one injury; on the contrary it makes for a more universal supply of game fish. The same thing would apply to quail, pheasants, ducks or what not. It would also protect fur when any species is likely to become extinct so far as a described area is concerned. Zoning the state also would include opening and closing the regular seasons according to latitude and to yearly climatic conditions. In some seasons the bass spawn two or three w'eeks late and under the present laws are fished for when they are still heavy with spawn. It is also recognized that the south end of the state is from two to three weeks earlier in season than the northern end. The picture accompanying this article shows another result of an inadequate and possibly obsolete law'. The old pitchfork bill that was designed to aid farmers to take coarse fish out of Indiana streams with an unmodified pitchfork w'as used by predatory fishermen to do the damage illustrated. Here are forty-nine bass pitchforked to death in the Tippecanoe river below Norway dam. This law' should be modified or changed to meet modern conditions. Personally, visiting the site of the

the hint that he hoped to see her in London. Gad s Hill Place, Higham by Rochester. Kent. Monday, Sixteenth August, 1858. My Dear Mrs. Winter: I have read poor dear Anne’s prayer with great sorrow, and with many emotions of sadly affectionate remembrance. It was written, no doubt, under a presentiment of Death but it must always be remembered that such a presentiment often exists when it fails to be fulfilled; and it is very commonly engendered in the state of mind belonging to the condition in which she composed the prayer. It would give me great pleasure to see you at Liverpool, if I had the least confidence in my own freedom for a moment under the circumstances which will take me there. But I have so much business to transact at times, and have to keep myself so quiet at other times, and have so many people to give directions to, and make arrangements with (four travel with me) that I see no one while I am on this Tour, and have to be always grimly self-denying and heroic. So I shall hope to see you in London, at some time when I am in a less virtuous, and less hurried and worried condition. With my love to Ella, and kindest regard to Mr. Winter. Ever affectionately yours, CHARLES DICKENS. B B B SHE must have got a sensational thrill, if only for a moment, out of his facetious remark about hoping to see her in London when he was in a ‘‘less virtuous condition"; but there is no record, so far as she is concerned that he ever relaxed from his determined self denial. There was another meeting or two. perhaps—meetings that held little for her, seeing that the cause was hopeless. With only her garland of fading memories she could not compete with the younger and more engaging beauties of society and the stage for such moments as he could spare from his work. A few months later she was over-taken by another calamity, and no longer able to claim his love, she was forced to appeal to his charity. Her husband had failed in business and she turned to her old sweetheart to ask if he could with a word, help them out of their difficulties. BBS IF it humiliated her to ask that aid. it must have chagrined her even more to receive the following letter of sympathy and sound advice in return: Brighton, Saturday. November 13th. 1858. My dear Mrs. Winter: I have been so constantly and rapidly changing from place to place during the past week, that I am only just now in receipt of the intelligence of your misfortune. With the utmost sincerity and earnestness of which my heart is capable, I condole with you upon it. and assure you of my true sympathy and friendship. It has distressed me greatly. Not because I am so worldly or so unjust as to couple the least reproach or blame with a reverse that I do not doubt to have been unavoidable, and that I know to be always easily possible of occurrence to the best and most fortunate of men, but because I know you feel it heavily. I wish to Heaven it were in my power to help Mr. Winter to any new opening in life. But you can f

bass slaughter shown in the picture for the last three years, I can vouch for the fact these forty-nine bass are but a tithe of the game fish taken yearly in Indiana streams by pitchforkers. That is w'here your sport goes, you law abiding fisherman. You pay your money to take a fishing outing and find that the man who never sleeps has been there ahead of you with dynamite, nets, pitchforks and other wholesale fish killing devices. Then you return home and "cuss’’the state for charging you $1 to fish, but gives you no fish. We will have a better control over the bait seller who bootlegs young game fish for minnow's. Nets w'ill be licensed in about the same manner as the present Michigan law'. It has proved as impossible to keep nets out of personal possession as to prohibit whisky. When you can't lick the situation, join it by giving the owner of a net a license to use it under local club regulation and keep the nets in the county clerk's office. We have done the same thing after a fashion with liquor. Dynamiting w'ill draw' a heavier penalty and some other gross violations of the fish and game laws will be dealt w'ith more rigidly. Spading up the w'eed beds in our rivers for mussel taking will be taboo except under game wardens’ supervision. Wider latitude will be given authorized game and fish clubs to take predatory fish, to raise and sell fish or game to the state for propagating purposes, and there will be a law to prohibit the sale of black bass no matter w'here they W'ere caught. Indiana is one of the three states now' permitting that. The legislature will know that Indiana sportsmen want these things, there are more than 40.000 of them tied into club units and w'hen 40,000 men speak even the statehouse dome leans over to listen.

hardly imagine how powerless I am in any such case. My own work in life being of that kind that I must always do it with my own unassisted hand and head, I have such rare opportunities of placing any one, that for years and years I have been seeking in vain to help in this way a friend of the old days when the old house stood unchanged in Lombard street. To this hour I have not succeeded, though I have strenuously tried my hardest, both abroad and at home. Commercial opportunities, above all, are so far removed from me, that I dare not encourage a hope of my power to serye Mr. Winter with my good word, ever coming within a year’s journey of my will and wish to do it. But I really think that your father, who could do much in such a case without drawing at all heavily upon his purse, might be induced to do what—l may say to you Maria—it is no great stretch of sentiment to call his duty. Has not Margaret great influence with him? Have not you some? And don't you think that if you were to set yourself steadily to exert whatever influence you can bring to bear upon him, you would do the best within your reach for your husband, your child, and yourself? Is it not all important that you should try your utmost with him, at this time? Forgive my recommending this, if you have so anticipated the recommendation as to have done all that possiby can be done to move him. Bu„ what you tell me about George seems so strange, so hard, and so ill balanced, that I can not avoid the subject. I write in the greatest haste, being overwhelmed by business here. On Monday I hope to be at Gad's Hill, and to remain either there or at Tavistock House for months to come. I enclose a few lines to Mr. Winter, and am ever, Your faithful friend, CHARLES DICKENS. B B B IN recommending that Mr. Beadnell be asked to aid the husband—who was perhaps one of the preferred suitors of the days when he himself was considered so unworthy. Dickens could hardly have been unmindful of the irony in the situation. (Copyright, 1934, John F. Dille Cos.) In tomorrow’s treat episode the amazing “Second Interlude” draws to a close.

—Sunday Sermon — POINTED TRUTH TOLD IN STORY OF TEN VIRGINS lesus Used Parable to Show Price Exacted by Foolishness. Text: Matt. 24:1 to 25:30. B B B BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance Among the effective illustrations of the kingdom of heaven none was more vivid or striking than that of the ten virgins with the ten lamps, going forth to meet the bridegroom. The lamps w'ere of no use without oil and it might have been supposed that oil would be the first consideration, but let any reader w’ho has ever been stalled on the highway with an auto out of gas cast a stone at the foolish virgins. The virgins were fair types of ordinary persons and it was not remarkable that one-half of them were so slack as to go forth with their lambs without oil. So it was that, as the bridegroom was late, they had fallen asleep. When they were aroused to meet him, the five wise virgins lighted their lamps aqd went forth, but the foolish virgins were put to shame, for their lamps had gone out and there was no time for them to go and buy more oil, though they went to seek it. The bridegroom came while they w'ere gone, and the door w'as shut. Pointed to Foolishness Os course, the story is constructed to point the moral that Jesus intended: namely, that persons are just as foolish concerning the greater things of life as they are about the lesser things, and the foolish are shut out just as relentlessly from the high sources of grace and truth, if they neglect their opportunity, as w'ere these foolish virgins. The teaching of this lesson is W'orth considering in a rather slack age. We do not today make quite so much of either heaven or hell as did a former generation. We go on for the most part without that terrible sense of destiny that has affected persons so deeply in the past, but the solemn truths of Scripture are just as solemn as they ever were. Lesser Sins Ruin Lives We see men and women make rack and ruin of life, not always through sinfulness, but often through foolishness. It is not downright evil that alone defeats a man's life, but his lesser sins and shortcomings as well. "I have played the fool,” was King Saul's candid confession w'hen he had made a mess of his life. That was a life of tragedy, stark and terrible, ending with suicide on a battlefield of defeat the career of a man, splendid in physique and endow'ment, who had been called to high responsibility under the most favorable circumstance. Tragedy begun in folly—that was Saul's history. And tragedy may enter our lives through folly. Be watchful, be well prepared and provided; leave nothing to chance, but bring all of life under the dominance of its highest opportunity and destiny—that is the lesson of the parable of the wise and foolish virgins.

MAIL PROBERS MISINFORMED, SAYS FRANKLIN Ship Magnate Insists Firm Invested Heavily in U. S. Lines. By l n’frd Pr< ss WASHINGTON. May 19 —P. A. S. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine Company, protested yesterday that the senate ocean mail investigating committee had not obtained a "fair picture" of his company’s foreign and domestic ship holdings. He said the "impression seems to have been created" that in 1932 the I. M. M. had $20,000,000 invested in foreign flag tonnage and only $1,500,000 in American ships. The figures, he said, were misleading. "The real extent of the I. M. M.'s interest in the American merchant marine is set forth in the fact that it, together with companies owning or operating American flag steamers, has invested approximately $23,300,000 in American flag shipping,’’ he said. "As against this the direct financial interest of the I. M. M. in foreign flag tonnage is limited to $8,600,000. This amount represents the total which wholly-owned subsidaries of the I. M. M. have invested in foreign flag tonnage. It is true that in addition to this the I. M. M. has on its books $11,387,500. representing an unpaid balance of quesj tionable value, due on the sale of the White Star line to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company in 1926. "In pursuance of its well established policy to develop solely under the American flag, the I. M. M. has cancelled by mutual consent all of its agreements with the British government. This paves the way for release from every foreign contact when the company ceases to be agent for the White Star line on June 30. "The thoroughly American char- ! acter of the I. M. M. and its assoj ciated companies today is shown by the fact that they either own or operate thirty-five American flag ships and only nine ships which fly a foreign flag." Mr. Franklin said foreign flag tonnage owned today consisted of four cargo ships and five combination passenger and freight ships, all under the British flag.
