16-A THE OMAHA ST'NDAY BEE: JUNE 7, 1914. MIGRATORY BIRD LAW GOOD Two Decisions, trically Oppo site, Pat Validity to High Court. WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED Dr. William T. llnrnmlnr Write n Oprn letter to thr Politic Jet llnff Forth rionn of nirtl Protection. William T. Hornaday of New York, the jrll known ornithologist and conservator Of the National museum, has addresaed tha public In an open letter Concerning th recent decision of a Judge of the fnlted States court In Arkansas holding the federal game law lo be unconstitu tional. The case was brought at the in stance of some Kansas City shooters, who resented having spring shooting inter fered with. Dr. Hornaday says: "To the Tress and the Public at Large: In a short time the enemies of the migra tory bird law will, with great glee, an nounce once more that the law Is 'un constitutional.' This time the statement will have a little moro to rest upon than the soap-box decisions of learned spring shooters of wild fowl who never even saw the Rational constitution. "In the wilds of eastern Arkansas, at Jonesboro, on May 27, In the United States court, the case of the United States against Harvey C. Schauver, for a viola tion of the federal migratory bird law, was heard by Judge Jacob Trleber, who decided that 'the law Is unconstitutional.' Of course the United States will carry the case up until It finally reaches the I.'nlted States supreme court, where, with extra expedition, a decision may bo ex pected In about eighteen months. "The first decision on the status of the migratory law was that rendered In South Dakbta on April It; 1814, by Judge J. D. Elliott of the federal court, who de cided. In the case of A. M. Shaw, that the law Is constitutional. Mr. Shaw pleaded guilty and was fined $100, which was paid. Test Cne l Welcome. "Inasmuch as a test case was neces sary, wc are very glad that the name of no real game-protecting state Is In any way connected with It 'Tho Arknn saw Case' soon will rival tho fame of tn 'Arkansaw Traveler,' and the natne of Schauver will go thundering down .the ages as the Inheritance of the chil dren of the man who permitted himself to be used in the abortive effort that was made In 1914-15 to destroy the only law that was able to save the migratory Wrds of North America from annihila tion. "The friends of birds need feel no alarm over this Incident, nor anything more serious than mild Interest. Unlesa he United Btatcs supreme court delib erately elects to pull down a full scoro jt laws that tho representatives Of tho American people hayo enacted In con jrress for the greatest good of the great est number, the federal migratory bird JaW will stand, The side of tho people and the birds will be taken care of, It need be, by a hundred' ab'le lawyers, who re fully convinced, that the law Is con stitutional, and that Its stability can ho demonstrated to the satisfaction of any open and logical legal mind. "In addition to' the score or more of Cw York and .Washington lawyers -who havr offered their service, to-tula cause, aomoiof whom already, haveiprepared ex pended brief s, . Frederic K. CduderJ, bhtf .of the most distinguished member of the American bar, has volunteered his Service on the side of the birds an offer :whlth undoubtedly will be accepted. The United States Department' of Justice, headed by Attorney General Mclteynolds, can confidently be trusted to conduct the people's fight for the birds with all the legal acumen and resources of' that de partment, aad the organized spring shoot era of Kansas City now will have an opportunity to contribute money In aid of their cause and Mr. Schauver. Spring Shooters Will Hhoat. "Of course the enemies of the law will laugh first, and claim the decision In advance. The Kansas City spring-shooters wilt make ft great effort td rush the supreme court and secure i. decision In their favor In time to give them their be loved sprlng-shootlng privilege next Jan uary; for dear to the heart of tho spring hooter of 1911 Is the privilege of slaugh tering egg-laden ducks and geese In March, April and May, For that they are willing to rob the farmers and for est owners of America of the only law that ever can or ever will adequately protect their best atltes-the Insectivor ous birds. It Is this feature of Kansas , City selfishness that Is so exasperating, and we may weft believe that the mem bership of the Interstate Spring-shooters Projective association contains not one larmer, fruit grower or forester- "WIIA.IAM' T.
