Enforcement of Federal Game '
Law.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 23.—
“There seems to be a certain el- |
ement of people in Arkansas who j
are willing to resort to any !
means that may prejudice the
minds of others against the en
forcement of a law that places
restrictions around them,” says
E. V. Visart, federal game in
spector for the State of Arkan
sas.
He calls attention to the fact '
that for two months before he |
began the enforcement of the !
law tor the protection of migra
tory birds, he gave warnings i
through the press and otherwise j
and did all in his power to fam
iliarize the people with the new
law. and now there is scarcely e
ven an ignorant negro in a re
mote section of the state who !
does not know there is a feder
al law prohibiting the killing of ;
certain birds and water fowl, j
“And that element of people |
wrhose whole desire seems to be !

Visart, “but have no desire to
protect, realize that the new law
has met with favor among our
farmers, and not being able to
convince the farmer that it is a
bad law, have undertaken to pre
judice the minds of the people
against its enforcement by cir
culating false reports such as
have just come to my notice.
“There is a report being cir
culated that I as an officer per
suaded a man to go hunting with
me and after permitting him to
kill a duck, arrested him. So
far as I am individually con
cerned, I would pay no attention
to such reports, but for the bene
fit of those who may be misled, !
I wish to state that there is ab
solutely not a word of truth in
the report, and that it was no
doubt started by an enemy to
the cause.
“The nearest that could be a
ease of this kind was that of a
man arrested at Redfield. In
Mallory we ran across a man
who had stopped his boat and
camped near the duck shooting
grounds. He told us of killing
ducks the day before, and while
walking together, warned him
of the federal law. He cursed
the law and the game wardens,
and soon after a duck flew over
and he killed it. I placed him
under arrest, but when he was
taken before the commissioner,
I stated the facts, and asked
that sentence be suspended,
which was done.

keep them out of trouble, but I
will play no favorites, and when
ever I hear of a violation of the
federal game law, I shall use
every effort in my power to bring
the guilty party to justice.

I)r. Brough's Morning Address.
Dr. Brough of the State Uni
versity needs no word of intro
duction to the citizens of New
port. Dr. Brough came to New
port in response to an invitation
to address the members of the
Men’s Forward Movement. Dr.
Brough at 11 a. m- was intro
duced in the Baptist church by
Rev. S. D. Grumbles as the
speaker of the hour. In a pleas
ing manner he painted word
scenes of the Prince of Peace as
He holds today the reins of jus
tice, love and equity. His king
dom was different from the em
pires founded by Caesar, Alex
ander, Charlemagne and Napole
on. The four designated war
riors who moved amid the clash
of arms, and the fire of cannon,
leaving fields crimson with the
blood of the martyred heroes,
founded great empires and de
fended them by the power of the
golden sword; but they stood
upon the insecure foundation of
fear, and soon faded away, leav
ing dust alone to tell the world
of the site of a once proud king
-
VtVSAlA J V/Ui. Vila
The Prince of Peace reigns to
day in the second place because
He embodied in his ethical teach
ings the story of the “Immor
tality of the Soul.” He success
fully taught the fundamental
principle because His kingdom
was founded upon love, and the
principles of his government
were eternal and immutable.
The speaker said that all men
believe in the principle which
blooms as the Flower of Immor
tality.
Jesus reigns because He ex
hibited to the world by act,
look and devotion the doctrine
of social service. He came not
to be ministered unto but to min
ister, the significant fact that
unquestionably proves the dig
nity of the doctrine of social ser
vice in a sin cursed world.
Jesus reigns today because He
gave to the universe the funda
mental teachings of a bright,
happy life upon this mundane
sphere as the eye of the soul an
ticipates the dawn of eternal lfie
upon the shores of the Celestial
City, where Christ the fulfill
ment of all love, rules among
the angels of glory and among
the inhabitants of the earth.
“Peace on Earth and Good Will
Toward Men”, was the climax of
the good reign of the manger
cradled baby, who was born in
Bethlehem'almost two thousand
years ago

Five More Counts To Answer
Special to Independent.’
Little Rock, March 23.—Ther
are still five indictments pend
ing against W. W. Hurst, form
, er president of the' Valley Sav- 1
j ings Bank or Argenta, which
i failed last year. He has just
I been convicted on one count of
| having received deposits when
he knew the bank to be insolv
ent. The jury was out 73 min
utes, and his punishment was
fixed at three years in the peni
tent iary.
Hurst was the only witness for ,
the defense. The receiver, Geo. •
Vaughan, testified that on June (
17, when Hurst received a de- j
posit of $641 from J. A. Henry ,
of Argenta, the liabilities of the ;
bank were $178,644.78, and the ,
assets $106,205.96
There will be a motion for a ,
new trial, and in all probability j
an appeal to the supreme court, !
which will delay the case for j
some time vet.
