A Pearl Set Ring, valued by customs officials at from $12,000 to $15,000, and owned by his wife, caused W. E. Co- rey, former head of the United States Steel corporation, to have an Inter- view recently with General Nelson Henry, surveyor of the port of New Xork, “The postoffice department has is- sued an order prohibiting acceptance for mailing of game killed or offered for shipment in violation of the laws of any state, territory or district iIn which it was killed or tendered for shipment. The order permits accept- ance for purposes of mailing of game lawfully killed and offered for ship- ment, but fresh game may not be mail- ed beyond the second zone.” The telegram comes from Third As- sistant Postmaster General Dockery. In a statement by President John B. Burnham of the American Game Pro- tective association, he said: “This mat- ter means a great deal for game con- servation in this country. “Ever since the pareci post hac been in operation it has furnished an ideal means for the shipment of illegal game and added to the worries of the game commissions of the various states and the officials of the biological survey of the federal government. “The express companies,which handle most of the game shipped in interstate commerce, have very generally lived up to the law, and where they have been imposed upon they have always been ready to aid officials in conviet- ing shippers of illegal game. When, however, the parcsl post invaded the express companies’ field, the old meth- ods of preventing the shipment of ille- gal game were no longer effective. Just { as soon as the pot hunter had deliver- ed his_partridges or wild ducks into TUncle Sam’s keeping. he was safe from punishment for any illegal act connect- ed with the shipment, for the simple reason that no game official had a right to examine the package and the postal authorities themselves would not do it* Incidents In Society Mr. and Mrs, Henry A.
