PROTECTION OF FISH '.MEANS. BETTER SPORT, ARGUES SHIREMAN

State Commissioner Attends Banquet of Wayne County Game and Fish Protective Association. "The only way that we can ever hope to conserve wild life is to Interest the sportsmen in the protection of the fish and game." E. C. Shireman, commissioner of fisheries and game for Indiana, made thi3 statement when he spoke at the banquet of the Wayne County Game and Protective association at the I. O. 0. F. hall last night. "When the people get educated as to the need of certain game and fish protective laws, they will obey them. As it is now, they look upon such laws as taking away some of their inherent rights. Education is Needed. "This education can be brought about through associations such as this, and I am now trying to effect similar organizations in every .county. "It i3 an utter impossibility for me and my thirty-one deputies to police the entire state because 10,000 men would be required to come any place near of catching all the violators. "People are ignorant of the game and fish laws. I was in Governor Ralston's office one day when a friend of his came in and told about violating ivcry game law on the statute books of Indiana. The man did not know that he had violated a law." Advocates Fishing Licenses. The speaker also asked for the aid of the association in getting a law passed which would require flshemen as well as hunters to have licenses when fishing in their own or adjacent counties. The game commission is supported mainly by the hunters and In turn most of the money is spent to aid fishing. If this change were made, it would mean much more money for the commission and would make possible the liberating of many Chinese Rlngneck pheasants annually for the benefit of the hunters. He said that he was also trying to get a law enacted which would make a board of state commissioners Instead of a single one. This board would serve for no salary and tho terms would be so arranged so that the majority of members would have been in service over two years. John Holaday presided at the meeting.

HONEST FISH YARN TOLD BY ZWISSLER

John Zwlssler confessed that he has never caught a fish in his life at the game and fish banquet last night. Nor has he ever, shot a squirrel or a rabbit. "The only living thing, that I ever shot was a rooster," said Zwissler. "And I had to use a club to kill that after I had shot him. "The nearest time I ever came to catching a fish was when I lived at Kokomo. Tom Burk and I decided to go out in the country fishing one Sunday afternoon. I was dressed in my 'go to meeting duds' and he in his overalls. I Jet him fish while I laid under a tree and slept. When I woke up I saw my hat out on a limb over the fish pond. Out I went after it but when I reached for it, Tom shoved me in the mud and water. I was fishing for my hat." ties," he said. "This exists largely because of agitation by local demagogues. And with such a feeling there is not a ,town in the United States which is as undesirable a place for a public utility to operate and such a feeling is sure to have an effect on the amount of gas consumed. Fewer citizens will use the service where such condition exists." Attorney Bond Ignored. "There is not a word of truth in such statement," shouted Bond, but the witness gave the city attorney's volunteered declaration no attention. "The company had little to do with this feeling against it," . answered Wier in response to further questioning by Bond. "So the company has been an angel serving a long suffering people," said Bond, but the witness made no reply. Wier, being a non-resident of. Richmond, was asked to tell how he learn ed of any public feeling against Richmond utilities. Studies Attitude of City. "I observed a good deal of it," he answered. "How many days have you spent in Richmond in the past two years?" asked the city attorney. "I have been there ten or fifteen days. I kept my ears and eyes open and my mouth shut and learned much," he said. Wier's statement about the city being bunkoed in the purchase of the frivate company's light plant caused Bond to question him concerning his attitude toward municipal plants. Politics Big Factor. Alost municipal plants 99 per cent of them are run for political purposes," declared Wier. Wier has placed a reproduction new value on the gas property of $907,146 and a present value of $841,768. He admitted, however, that a recent court decision will cause him to revise his figures, subtracting' the value of tho uncut-pavements over mains. The commission's engineers have fixed $512,840 as the reproduction new value and $408,165 as the present value. Questions Involved. An important question to be decided by the commission in arriving at its conclusions is whether the value of the artificial gas plant, used before the introduction of the natural gas, shall be considered in the fixing of rates. It is said that the commission's engineers included a valuation on the portion of the plant which may be used for the manufacture of water gas in case of an emergency, but did not consider the coal gas plant. The company's engineers are said to have included the full value of the utility's artificial plant. snd recruits at North Capitol avenue LIEUT. DANIEL GLOSSB RENDER,

DEDICATED TO Lawrence Handley, Poet Laureate

Lawrence Handley used to write considerable poetry when he worked for Uncle Sam, but he explained at the banquet of the Wayne County Fish and Game Protective association last night that he hasn't had much time for writing squibs since he has "started to working for a living." However, he found time to write a squib qn Edward D. Neff, fisherman of the sunny south, and new member of the Board of Trustees of the Wayne County Fish and Game Association. This he read last night It follows: When the frost is on the pumpkins, and the fodder's in the shocks, When the wind is growing colder, and the geese go by in flocks, Then he packs his trunk and suitcase, and his fishin pole and hooks, ' And invades the sunny southland while the other fellow looks. When he's down there, 'stead o' restin and a. baskin' in the sun, He's out on the bay a fishin' and a havin lots of fun, While us poor old suckers up here wade in snow up to our eyes, And he catches red horse mackerel, while we're heavin' lonesome sighs. And when he came'nome some time ago he vowed he'd show us guys How to fish and always catch 'em and not tell so many lies, So he bought a new cane pole, twenty feet or so in length. And to wield it over Martindale took all his manly strength. ft '! So he gathered in a mess of bait, a line and lots of hooks, And a fresh supply of cuss words you won't find in any books, And he case and beat the water till it raised into a foam, But he didn't get a mackerel near his old Wayne County' home.
