HONORABLE MENTIONS 



AWARDED BY THE TRUSTEES FOR VALUABLE SERVICES TO 

 WILD LIFE. 



Hon. Charles S. Whitman 



Governor of New York. 



Honorable Mention for courageously vetoing the Kasson 

 bill in 1916, designed to reopen the killing of female deer 

 in the State of New York. Regardless of consequences to 

 himself, that action was taken without hesitation, in support 

 of the highest ethics of big-game hunting, and by it the good 

 name of the state of New York was saved from dishonor. 



Stanley Clisby Arthur 



Ornithologist of the Louisiana State Conservation Commission. 



Honorable Mention for his services to Louisiana in help- 

 ing to secure, in 1916, the enactment of new laws for the 

 better protection of Louisiana birds. 



Claude T. Barnes 



Attorney, Salt Lake City, Utah. 



Honorable Mention for the services rendered by him in 

 the campaigns which culminated in the great victory for 

 wild life in Utah, in 1917, and also for his championship of 

 the game sanctuary cause. 



Miss Belle Williams 



Secretary South Carolina Audubon Society, Columbia, S. C. 



Honorable Mention for her investigations and "Report on 

 the Decrease of Birds in South Carolina," an object lesson 

 of great value to every southern state, and to many others, 

 also.
