Eastern Oysters in Sound Waters.

H OOihhlooioiCi ~ ". Ltttie, VINO
has been experimenting since last
April with Eastern oysters in the
waters of Puget Sound, considers he
has lndubltable evidence that this
variety OF bivalve will do better on the
Pacific coast than it does in the waters
of the Atlantic Today he received a
box of the Eastern oysters which were
planted at the oyster experimental
station at Keyport last spring. The
oysters show a growth made since
they were placed in the waters of the
Sound that Mr. Little declares would
require two years time to produce in
the waters of the Atlantic, At the
present rate OF growth all the oysters
placed in the Keyport experimental
station will double their proportions
within one year from the date thew
we're placed at Keyport. These oysters
came from Fairhaven; Conn, and were
three and four years old when shipped
The only drawback to the propaga-
ton OF the Eastern oysters is in the
matter of reproduction. The waters
OF the Sound are apparently too cold
for the spawn, and the increase is not
as rapid as it is in the oyster beds of
the East. At the Keyport station this

This pond lays open to the south.
the rays of the sun strike upon the
waters during the day which raises
the temperature of the water about
20 degrees. II has been found that
the spawn tiourishes best in temper
ature of Is degrees fahrenheit or there
abouts, and this temperature is main
tained in the waters Of the pond dur
ing the spawning season, which be-
gins in the latter part of May and runs
through June and July. The temper
ature OF the waters of the Sound ap-
pears to be all right for the growth of
the young oyster and the development
of a large sized variety of bivalve.
Mr.. Little believes the successful ex-
periments OF propagatlng and growing
these oysters in the waters of the Paci-
fic coast is most important CONNER
cial discovery, and declares fortunes
will be made in the industry.
"fhe Eastern oysters sell for II
cents per dozen," said he this after
noon, "and they can be grown for
about 3 cents dozen. We have not
obtained the amount OF young oysters
we expected, but there are number
of reasons why this is the case. Our
shipment of oysters came from the
East in April. just before their spawn
ing season, and the unatural life they
were subjected to in shipment doubt
less impaired their vigor for several
months after they arrived. Then we
were constructing our experimental
station and could not get our dam
built, and the water in the pond was
not up to the requisite degree of tenn
perature. Another seasons expert
ment will demonstrate beyond any
reasonable doubt that Eastern oysters
can be successfully grown in the wat
ers of Puget Sound and will develop
more quickly into full grown oysters
than they do in the waters of the At
lantic.-P.-I.

SINGLE TAKERS OBDURATE.
SWANSTROM REFUSES TO GO ON THEIR
TICKET IF BAKER IS NAMED
FOR SHERIFF.

The single tax element in the Brooklyn Citi-
zens Union. which practically controls the NOM
mating committee of forty-three of that Or
ganization, is still holding out for the NOM
NATION of Robert Baker for Sheriff of Kings
County. The anti-Tammany bodies in Brooklyn
having agreed upon the selection Of ]. Edward
wanstrom for the nomination for Borough
President 1t was generally supposed that fusion
was assured. Mr. Swanstrom was present at
the conference of anti-Tammany bodies at the
home of Lieutenant Governor Woodruff yester-
day afternoon, and agreed to the Citi-
zens Union candidate condition that that
body conform to the agreements of former con-
ferences If the Citizens Union people Insist on
naming Robert Baker for Sheriff, Mr. Swanstrom
announces that he will not permit his name to
appear on its ticket He WILL however accept
the nomination rendered by the other antf-Tam-
many organizations.
Northumberland Woodruff announced last
night that he would have nothing more to do
with the Citizens Union. If It chose to noml-
interfere He had almost exhausted himself in
argument, had made greater concessions than
they had a right to expect. and considered that
the Citizens Union ought to be satisfied with
the places allotted to it.
Only four of the Citizens Union conference
committeeman were present at Mr.. Woodruff's
house yesterday. They were Frank Harvey
Field, Ahner S. Haight, William H Ziegler and
Mr.. Barthman II was mainly due TO the ef
forts Of Mr.. Field that a compromise
reached on j. Edward Swanstrom for Borough
President These men will make strenuous
effort to conciliate their associates In the Cti-
Zens Union.
The conference adjourned TO meet again on
Friday at p m, when representatives OF each
OF the fusion bodies will present candidates for
the offices that have been awarded to them.

JEROME ON EXCISE QUESTION
HE WOULD PERMIT THE SALOONS TO
OPEN SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.

Since Justice Jerome was made the fusion can
didate for District Attorney. he has been sub
jected to no end of questioning both face to face
and through the mail. as TO how he stands on
Sunday observance. Many, without waiting for
him to explain his position, have concluded that.
because of his active part in exposing the exist
ing system of police blackmail Justice Jerome
advocated strict enforcement of all the blue
laws and desired a Puritanic Sunday.
When Judge Jerome asked yesterday to
outline his views in regard to this subject he
said:
This may surprise a few people, those who cry
blue laws" at my heels, but l am in favor of
amending the liquor tax laws in such wise as
would permit. under those proper restrictions
which necessary for the preservation of the
quiet and order of Sunday. the sale of liquors at
all hours. save election days within a
tain distance of the polling places-when these
polling places open-and between the hours
OF midnight Saturday and II or l o'clock on the
following Sunday afternoon.
While I believe that it might be possible to
allow. under proper regulations liquors to be
sold at all hours Sunday, think, out of re-
spect for the great number of persons TO whom
Sunday is day of religious observance, that
saloons should be closed during the morning
hours, while church services are being held

POSSIBLE TROUBLE OVER CITIZENS UNION
CANDIDATES FOR ALDERMEN IN THE
BRONX-woRRIED OVER AN
AMENDMENT

The interesting point was raised yesterday by
members of the City Club who are assisting the
Citizens Union in preparing the certificates for
candidates TO be nominated by petition that,
while the Citizens Union will only need 70 obtain
one thousand signatures for the Assembly ticket
in the two Assembly districts in The Bronx It
will at the same time require three thousand five
hundred names to nominate the seven Citizens
Union Aldermen. On account of the short time
allowed for doing much work members Of
the organization fear that in several of The
Bronx districts the Citizens Union ticket will
not have any Aldermanic candidates on It. The
two Bronx Assembly districts divided into
seven small Aldermanic districts by the new
constitution
Another point that is bothering the Citizens
Union people is amendment passed by the
last legislature requiring person who signs an
Independent certificate Of nomination to declare
on the face of the certificate that he proposes to
support the candidate named therein. These
two wrinkles may result in serious complications
in the campaign. and. in any case. will
much more work than that required to nominate
Mr.. Low in 1897. The amendment referred to is
as follows:
We, tho undersigned. duly qualified electors of
the district for which the nomination for public
lion 81 the Election law. do hereby declare
it is our intention to support at the polls the
mated for public office.
The uneasiness caused arises from the fact
that independent and. in fact all other voters
may naturally want to reserve the right to
charge their minds the candidates
mated, although at the time their signatures
solicited they may he perfectly willing sup
port the candidates named, and for this reason
decline altogether to sign the nominating pc
tition.
1t is recalled that the time allowed by law
between the date of the making of nominations
in the Low campaign of 1897 and the time with
in which the nominating petitions could be filed
was fully consumed, and the effect of this new
and untr;aS amendment is causing considerable
worry and anxiety to the independent leaders
