STATE OYSTER
CONTROL THE LAW.
COnstitutiOnality of the Law Pas.
Sed Upon.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 12.-Supreme
Court Justice Garrison to-day rem
dered an opinion in the case of Jacob
Nelson VS.. the State. which is of
great Importance to the oyster inter-
ests of New Jersey.
In 1888 the State assumed control
of the oyster lands lying under the
Delaware Bay and Maurice River
Cove. Prior to that time these lands
were in charge of the Delaware Bay
and Maurice River Cove Oyster Asso-
citation, which appointed an Execu-
tive Committee, which undertook to
execute the oyster laws and protect
the oyster lands from thievery.
Up to that time the only rights
that the oyster growers had in the
lands were those of the squatter. In
the winter of 1899 the Legislature
passed law which transferred all
rights in the oyster lands lying under
the waters named above to the State,
and a Commission was appointed by
the Governor, whose duty it is to
lease the lands and protect them
against invasion by the oyster thieves.
The lands were carefully surveyed,
and the lessee has clear and we'll
defined title to the lands that he
controls.
With a good many of the oyster
growers this law is unpopular. They
claim that it takes from them their
individual rights and prevents them
from exercising the rights on the
grounds that are justly theirs.
Prior to the passage of the g State
Control Law there was little or no
punishment of oyster thieves, but
lust as soon as the law became effec-
tive and commission was appointed
it began prosecuting trespassers on
the oyster grounds.
Jacob Nelson, the plaintiff in the
case mentioned above, was indicted
on d charge brought against him
by the Commission and he had the
case certioraried to the Supreme
Court with the purpose of having the
Indictment quashed. The real pur-
pose of the suit was to test the con-
stitutionality of the estate Control
Law"
Justice Garrison's opinion is brief.
The motion to quash the Indictment
is denied and the law declared con-
stitutional.

Indiana Looks for Reward.

indianapolis, Nov. 1O.-Leading
Republicans me to-day to induce, if
possible, Harry S. New, National
Committeeman, to allow the use of
his name for Secretary of War. Mr..
New has declined the Office so far,
and an effort will be made to get
him to accept the Cabinet appoint
ment it is felt here Indiana is en-
titled to. 1t is argued that no other
State, all conditions considered, has
made record of Republican gains
equal to that of Indiana, which was
regarded from the first as a close
battle ground, and Rpublicans con-
cede that large share of credit is
due to National Committeeman New
who, as member of the Executive
Committee of the National Commit
tee, also rendered valuable service in
the national campaign.

George Pfeiffer Will Not Be q
Candidate.

According to the politicians of the
Cumberland county Democracy,
George Pfeiffer, the late Congress
siona candidate, will not be Guber-
material possibility next fall. There
is a good deal of complaint hereabouts
concerning Pfeiffer. The leaders here
say that Pfeiffer gave them a cold
throw down at the very tail-end of
the campaign, retreating from the
fight when he should have shown his
nerve if he had had any. That he
was so overwhelmingly beaten also
makes him laughing stock with the
State Democracy, because he made
extrayagant claims to Chairman
Gourley, and declared to that gentle
man that he expected to win his fight.
That he lost every county in his Dis
trict, and that Congressman Louden-
slager's pluralities increased double,
tribe and in some counties quad
rupled, has placed Pfeiffer upon the
retired list. and he will have moth
ing to prevent him from proceeding
with the work of building the Mill
