CASE OF THE TUG GRAN&ER.
Referee E0dney Awards Baizley Damages

Referee Rodney Awards Baizley Damages
ana Decides That He Owns the Vessel.
John II. Rodney On Saturday banded
down his decision as referee 10 the case
OF John Bailey vs. l'eirco Goulti,
sheriff, awarding the plaintiff SAL. AZ
FOR damages TO the tug, Ethel Gran
mer and deciding that the title OF tho
vessel was in him. Thomas {. Gran.
mer, tho former owner OF tho tug, had
sold 1t to Bailey, who owned il when
it was seized Ivy the then Sheriff. Gould
upon claim OF the Baker Whitley
Coal Go. Of Baltimore, against Thomas
U. Cranmer. While in the ahpriH 9
possession the vessel sanE iu the Chris.
tiana. 1t WAS raised at Mr.. Bailey q
expense. At the hearing before the
referee, bailey was represented by
Low q. Bird and Andrew T.. Sanborn,
ami the aheriIf by Ioifecker Il ljof-
fecker. The referee decides that the
title tn ship would pass upon dc.
livery for valuable consideration and
that as between the parties to the sale
it was perfectly valid without ths
necessity of having written evidence
of title, as bill OF sale, recorded in
tho office OF the clnrk Of customs of the
home purt OF the vessel, as provided by
United States statutes in regard 10 the
recording of bills of sales of ahips. lie
also decided that it was the law that
the attaching creditor could acquire no
greater right III personal property seized
under q writ OF attachment than the
Defendant under tine attachment had at
the time it was made. IN this cRse the
attachment was against Thomas q.
Cranmer, Il former owner of the boat.
He had sold it to Bailey several
months before the attachment, and had
given him bill Of sale and delivered
the vessel to hin. Although Barley
had failoil to Put the hill of sale on
record as provided, yet undsr this
principle of law the Baker Whitley
Coal Co., who were the plaintiffs in the
attachment could have no greGter right
tn the ship at tho time the attachment
was laid than Cranmer bad. As he hat
no titie to it at that time the attach
msnt was not valid. The titlp to thu
tug RENAME. therefore, in Baizley.
by agreement Of counsel the referee
decision is final.

Impressive Work of the Fish Commission
the Past Year.
Washington, Nov. s. -Notable statis-
tics as TO the artificial propagation of
fond fishes ARE presented in the report
Of Fish Comm issioner Brice.
As result of tho season's operations
at tho cod stations in New England
$50, 600, QUO eggs wore collected, from
which 98, 600, QUO fry we're liberated on
the natural spawning grounds along the
coast Of Massach usetts. The results
secured were 40, 900, 900 in excess of tbs
previous year.
At tine completion OF the cod work,
the propagation OF the fiat fish Winter
FOUNDRY was undertaken at Woods
lioli Mass, on scale much larger
than heratofors, az evidenced by an out
put of over q, 900, 900 fry from total
collection of so. 0D0. 900 eggs.
To further extend the propagation of
the lobster, which ia rapidly decreas-
ing, it was arranged to mako systematic
collections from fishermen operating on
the coast hetween Rockland, Me-. and
Nonnk, Conn. As result OF this ex
tsnsion OF the work, notwithstanding the
poor catch. over 1913, GOO, 600 eggs were
secured, producing 1l5, 600, 600 fry-an
| increase OF ~. UUU, UuU.
10 further test the feasibility Of the
introduction of qulnnat salmon in East
ern waters, 5000, 600 eggs were trans
ferrsd from the Battle Creek, CAL,

Assurance has been received OF the sue
cessful introduction OF the Atlantic
salmon in the Hudson and Delaware
Rivera. The rainbow trout. native only
to the mountain streams Of the Pacific
coast, has heen successfully Rcclima-
tized in nearly every State east of the
Rocky Mountains. Reports from all
sections of the country indicate the sue
cesHful naturalization of the largs'
mouth black bass in streams hitherto
unoccupied by them.
Last summer the Albaiross entered
on an important examination OF the
salmon streams Of Alaska. The active
prosecution of tho fisheries in certain
streams threatens to reduce the supply
seriously. unless prompt measures are
taken to overcome the destruction.
Near Albemarle Sound over q, 600. 00t
shad eggs were collected. This, with
the collections on the Potomac, SuHque-
hanna and Delaware Rivers. made ar
aggregate OF over 203, 600. 600 for the
season a work, an increase of 90, 600, 00(
