most of them are beyond the first

Judge Coke Holds Federal
Law Regarding Migratory
Birds is Unconstitutional
. t Special to Tho Tlmos.)
COQIMIX!-:. Or.. Doc. 11.- Judge
Colto this morning rendered n de
cision for the first time in the United
State on thu Hiibjuct of thu consti
tutionality of tho Fedural law which
baa been hitherto held miprenio to
tho Htnto law regarding tho taking
and killing of migratory blrdn with
in the limits of u slate. Tho Judge
held that thu Htnto law Is Hiipromu;
tl'ut tho government has no Jurisdic
tion over game within tho boundiirlus
of u stnto nnd therefore a giimo war
den of tho government Iiiih no right
to enforce the federal law within thu
stntu of Oregon.
Tho duclHlnn was brought up In
connection with tho enso of tlio Htnto
of Oregon vs. 1 1 111 Ih Short, who was
arrested by (litmo Warden Thomas
acting under Instructions from Pros
ecuting Attorney Mljoqvlst last your
for killing ducks from n giiKolIno
boat In Ten Mile l-ako. Short was In
dicted by a previous grand Jury about
twelve months ago.
Argued l-Vilernl Iuvh.
Attorueya for Short pleaded that
tho Federal law, passud within tho
last two years, has In hand thn pro
tection of migratory birds; ostubllsh
oh u game -ouo and admlulsturH pun
ishment for any Infraction of thu
law. And furthermore tho attorneys
for Short declared that tho Federal
law has no Htntutu making It uulaw-
l fill to kill duckH from a gasoline
I boat and therefore Short wus Inno
cent nf uuy crime. They uIho brought
up tho question as to whether Ton
Mile I.uko Is publicly or privately
owned.
Government Xo Authority.
It was from this nrgumont that
Jiidjto Coke handed down his do-
clslou, overruling a demurrer to tho
Indictment. Ho declared that tho
1 L'ulted States has no authority ovor
,stuto game lawn and therefore their
statute aro unconstitutional mid
Short Ih amenable to tho statu of
Oregon for shooting ducka from n
, power boat.
Ills decision In part whs as fol-
lows: "The Con gross of tho United
1 Status Iibb no logul right to regulate
or attempt to regulate tho taking or
killing of migratory game bird with
in tho stntu of Oregon. " Thl was n
j test case,
.May (in lit Supienie Court.
i The decision of Judge Coke will
bo taken bu'fnro the Htnto Supreme
' Court for their action and will prob
ably eventually bo decided by tho
1 Supromo Court of tho United Status.
Judge Coke loaned heavily on do
clalnus In the Arkansas state laws
that have been somewhat similar to
I hla decision this morning. Tho do
! clslou upholds the contention of
j Prosecuting Attorney MlJuqvUt that
, tho state Maine laws aro supromo to
