THE OYSTER GULL LAW CASES.
Heard Before Justice John N. Davis
This Morning.

Justice Of the Peace John N. Davis
decided an important point this morn.
ing in connection with the carrying
out of the Gull law IL arose in tho
case of the nine oystermen who were
arrested last Tuesday on the charge OF
having more than . per cent of un-
culled oysters ana oysters smaller than
the size which is permitted TO be
caught
The cases were not ready TO be tried
this morning, as Captain Sanders. of
the May Brown, who had made most
of the arrests, had claimed that under
the law he could compel the captain OF
the boat containing the suspected
cargo, to Gull them in order to deter.
mine whether or not they contained
more than the legal proportion Of
small oysters aud oulls. This the oys.
ter boat men declined to do.
The justice decided that the oyster
men could not be compelled TO Gull
the oysters and thus furnish evidence
against themselves. However, no held
that there was ample authority under
the law for the officer to have the
cargo eulled in any manner he wished.
The captains of the boats then prom
ised to Gull the cargo under the su.
pervision of the legal authorities.

Shopper Comes to Grief.

In the throng of Christmas shoppers

urda night. an aged Irish woman was
threading her way through the crush
OF shoppers at the busiest hour of the
evening, when she received a sudden
jolt from behind which sent her top
pling into the muddy gutter The
man guilty of the unintentional
offense, who happened TO be one of
three students from st. Johns Col
lege on a visit to the city, hurried to
the assistance of the old woman, who.
despite her ragged and unkempt ap-
pearance. had evidently seen better
days, but was greeted with such a
string Of vooiferous epithets that he
recoiled without Offering his arm, as
he had evidently intended doing.
When the woman finally managed to
regain her foothold she made the air
blue. but was pscified by the presenta-
tion of a coin of the republic. Not
withstanding this display ON the part
of the half intoxicated woman, the
spirit shown by the crowd was good

BOARD RESUMES ITS SESSIONS.
Investigating The Case of Mid
shipman Kimbroueh.

The Board of Investigation detailed
upon the recommendatii Il Of Superin-
tendent Sands, resumed ITS sessions M
the Naval Academy this morning be-
hind closed doors.
IL Is not generally understood that
this board was not assembled for the
purpose of investigating particularly
the case Of the hazing of Midshipman
kimbrough, but was designated before
the discovery of that case and fer
the purpose of "inquiring into every
illegal custom among the midship.
men," As matter of fact this board
had nothing to do with the Kim.
brough case, except that the testimony
given by him before it undoubtedly
brought on the hazing.
The perintendent's recommenda-
tion for the expulsion of Coffin and
Vanderveer is not causing anything
like as much excitement among the
midshipmen as is the apprehension of
what the board may report. 1t is
known that they are inquiring into
matters which occurred when the
present first class was the third and
second class. 1t is the inquiries of
this board and not the cases of Coffin
and VanDerveer which has called forth
the midshipmen's threat that they
will confess hazing in a body.
In regard to this threat ii was said
in semi official way this morning
that the midshipmen will be welcome
TO come forward and give specific in
stances of hazing and dismissal would
surely follow. No general confession
of hazing, however, would be allowed.
Any united attempt to take such a
stand would be considered a breach of
discipline and would be punished ac-
cordingly.

der restrictions owing to suspected
participation in the hazing of Mid
shipman Jerdone p Kimbrough. He
is a son of Captain Lemly, of the

The statement is made that Lemly

was in an unconscious condition. but
it is not regarded by the authorities
as certain whether he took part in the
hazing or was merely acting from
motives of humanity.

here has held her office for forty con-
SecutiVe years. and her services nave
been so satisfactory to the patrons of
the Office and to the government that
every effort by others to get her posi-
ton has been a dead failure. She IS

Gus and polite to everybody. In addi-
ton to all this she has for years given
employment to deserving young ladies
Her name is a household word in
every family that gets its mail from

"Insurance Waste" Bill.

To the Editor:-The writfr was
astonished to see in yesterdays paper
notice of the passage of the IF re
Waste Bill to go into effect July j,
1905,a nd the further statement of its
strong Endorsement by our insurance
commissioner.
We were unable to go to Raleigh
durinfig the last session of the general
assembly, but we were under the i'm
preston that this bill had gone over.
No wonder the insurance companies
that have drained away our sadly
needed capital for years look upon
North Carolina as easy fruit" and
"fallow ground" and on her citizens
as Simple Reubens from Grass
villei"
Six years ago we presented to the
joint insurance committee bill giving
us the valued policy law" now in
force in the States about us and in
over half of the States in the union;
just law that requires no argument
to sustain, one requiring insurance
companies to settle losses on real prop
erty on the same valuation on which
they take premiums. that is where
they insure house for $1,000, and
accept premiums on that valuation
and there is a total loss. they must
settle on the basis of $1,000, and not
lily W pSdl the INSURANCE uoNH W
$500.
But against the insurance forces
and the committee and the insurance
commissioner, we were as nothing.
and might just as we'll have spent our
time kicking against stone wall!
Four years ago it was the same.
At the last session, we had present
ed, after examining the records and
showing the insurance drain, lit
tie bills repeating a pet clause in their
legislation known as the "anti-rebate
law. The effect of this would have
been to have thrown them into com
petitions and lowered rates. And here
let me state that, though every farm
er and producer in North Caroline
has to dispose of his goods on the
open market and in close competition,
these little insurance companies have
actually had us to pass laws making
1t unlawful for them to sell us their
policies under a certain price.
Our representative said that they
jumped on him like hornets. and just
as the writer knew, he was utterly
powerless. Again. the committees and
the commissioner were against him.
And the house bill was actually taken
up and reported back unfavorable
while the house member (Mr. Nc
GilD was absent to Morganton with
the committee of inspection.
And they did the same with me in
1901, while / was occupied with other
committee work and beset with tenn.
