To Stop the Lying.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature to require fishermen to
swear to the weight of fish caught
and pay a tax on same. This bill
is aimed at the man who exaggerates
as to the weight of the fish he
catches, but would not affect the
man whose biggest fish always es-
capes from his hook.

THE BURNETT CASE.

w. C. Mellish, who is associated with
Frank P. Goulding, yesterday dis
claimed all knowledge Of the rumored
plan Of the Burnett family OF South
boro to bring suits against the metro
politan water board in the supreme
court Of the United States. Mr.. Could
ing has for some time been the senior
council for G. S. Choate Of Boston, who
is the direct personal representative OF
the Burnett family. But so far as Mr..
Mellish knows no new steps have been
taken in the matter of late.
There is now pending on the calen-
dar Of the Worcester superior court the
case of Harry Burnett ct al. VS.. the
city of Boston. This case is merely to
determine the statutes under which the
metropolitan water board is to take
possession Of the land for the new res
ervoir. The water board claims author
ity under an act Of 1894, while the Bur
netts think that certain acts of 1912
and 1872 are the ones applicable.
Mr.. Goulding has been confined to his
bed with a severe attack of grip since
Monday. He was reported better yes
terday but will not be out for several
days.

yesterday that a man who gave the
name of 7. A. Green tried to pass

fraud.
The man in question purchased three
bales of hay and ten bags Of grain,
presenting a check In payment. Mr..
Rogers refused to cash the check unless
the holder was identified, whereupon
the stranger asked that the grain be
sent C. o. ID. to 56 Liberty street. His
request was granted, but the driver was
unable to find No 56; in fact, there is
no such number on the street.
