EVANSVILLE. Ind..—"Sure. we‘ll
take you around and show you the
works. We'll see that you got all
want. just as long as you don't mug
us."
80 Charlie Blrgcr. southern illi-
aois gang leader. answered my re-
quest for a chance at photographing
the “War" that has been raging in
southern Illinois for weeks between
Birgcr and his followers and the
Shelton brotherr' gang.
The machine gun bulle‘. holes in
my nivver bear witness to how well
he kept his promise.
Arrangements were made for the
trip at Birgcr's home. in Harrisburg.

inside. and at the point of their

At State Capitol
The advisability of the revision of
several sections of the state fish and
gains laws and the Incorporation of
new restrictions will be discussed at
a conference to be held in the hull of
the House at the State Capitol De-
cember to. Sportsmen. farmers. lrup-
pers and others interested in the
conservation of wild life have born
invited to meet with the limo board
of fisheries and game at this tlino to
discuss problems and politics. it is
probable that the conference will
draw up resolutions for submission
to the General Assembly. The con-
ference will be held at to n. m.. with
the probability that there will be an
afternoon session. according to no-
tices sent out yesterday.
Among the subjects to ho discus-
sed are the advisability of changing
the bag limit. upon any of the game
birds or quadrupeds. the advisability
of having a closed season of one or
two years for grouse. the duration
of permitting hen pheasants to he
killed. the desirability of rest days
other tha'n Sundays during the open
season for game. the regulation of
shipment of poisons. such as the
poison capsules used in killing tons
and other fur-bearers: the prohibi.
tion of the sale of striped bass loss
than twelve inches long and the
closed season and size limit on the
calico bass.
in connection with these regula-
tions on the killing of pheasants it is
probable that the question will be
raised as to whether more freedom
should he allowed on private pre-
serves on which the pheasants have
been rt-nrml and propagated ill the
expense of private clubs or indivi-
duals.
