Wholesale depredations upon the
oyster bottoms of the State are being
constantly made and in the most open
way, says the correspondent of the
Times Dispatch in late issue of that
paper. The Virginia oyster beds, If
the statement is correct, are be ng
removed bodily by Marylanders, with
enormous loss not only to the State,
but to all the citizens who are en-
gagged in the oyster industry, and Vir-
ginia is being thus despoiled,i 1T seems,
without so much as protest on TIE
part of the Virginia authorities. The
Virginia oyster navy, created for the
purpose of protecting the oyster beds
of the State, it is even stated, not only
is making no effort in that direction,
but is never seen in some of the wa
tiers of the State. The Marylanders,
if the report of the correspondent Is
to be believed, are given such free
manu- III luSl NS ~ SNoN4NhSi NAANNN 49,
make no cOncealment in the matter
but make the boast that they have too
good a thing at our expense to surren-
der the privilege they now enjoy, until
they are compelled to do so by the
Virginia authorities. This is bad
state of affairs, if true, and shows
sad neglect of Virginia property, tc
say the least of it, which ought II
some way to be remedied.
The Board of Fisheries, in reply
to the charges in this article of the
Times-Dispatch has, according tC
later advices, issued statement de
filming the work of the Virginia oyster
navy, its inability to properly police
the waters of Virginia, and showing
that Virginia has no control of thu
oyster grounds in the Potomac river
The board will ask to be be empowered
to build, man and equip boat 10
properly policing the waters of Viz
ginia. The boat will cost about $50,
900 and will be speedy craft.

Richmond to Have State Fair.

A State Fair in Richmond next fall
now seems an assured fact. The
organization proposes to arrange this
enterprise not only to arouse competi-
ton among our own people but to at
tract investors other from states. The
amount of $3.50, 900 raised by the peo-
pie of Richmond indicates their pur-
pose to spare no expense to make the
occasion a grand success. Many sec
tions of the state have already indica-
ted their purpose of extending a
hearty and cordial support, appreciat-
ing the results that would materially
accrue therefrom. The President OF
the Fair is Hon. Henry @. Stuart OF
Southwest Virginia, a man of in
domitable energy, extensive acquaint'
ance and successful business expert
ence.

jamestown Exposition Scheduled to
Open on April 70, 1907.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 12-The formal
opening of the jamestown Exposition
has been set for April 26, 1907, instead
of May 10, 1907, as originally planned.
1t was on April rs, 1907, that the
English settlers in the London COM
pany first debarked at Cape Henry,
Va, and in the desire to fittingly cele-
brate the three hundredth anniversary
of that event, as well as the tercen-
tennial of the settlement at James
town, May 10, is found the reason for
changing the date of the formal open
ing. The celebration of the landing
anniversary, May 19,will be made the
occasion Of a monster celebration,
which will be the great event of the
exposition.

The Senate committee on finance
Thursday reported favorably the
house bill which appropriates $500, 900
for the benefit of the public schools
of the State of the primary and gram
mar grades. Tie bill has passed the
house, and was communicated to the
senate several days ago and referred.
The State already appropriates $780,
600 direct to the schools, and this will
double the amount. The bill was re-
ported just as it passed the house, and
the action of the senate finance com
mittee presages its passage by that
body. The appropriation will be pay
able during the coming school year,
which begins Sept. 1.

Impure Food Kills Babies By The

milk. If we know nothing of the
fresh milk we get, surely our knowl-
edge is more limited as to the product
that is put in cans. The Lord IN

TH|EvERY IN NAVY YARDS
Department Says Something Must
Be Done to Prevent Il.
YARDS BEING CONSTANTLY ROBBED
STORAGE PLACES TO BE ERECT
ED AT ALL YARDS TO KEEP
MATERIAL.
YARDS BEING CONSTANTLY ROBBED

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.
The navy department has come to the
conclusion that something must be
done without delay to protect large
quantity of valuable material, consist
ing most of copper pipe, now stored
in the open at the navy yard at
BROOKLYN. The commandant of the
ward has sent special report to Wash
ington complaining that he has not the
facilities to properly protect this ma
terial from thieves. 1t is thought that
word must have been passed among
people of that class that the material
was accessible, and there have been
a number of thefts, with as many more
exciting pursuit of the thieve.. Re-
Gently a marine officer was accidentally
wounded by the discharge of his revol-
yer while chasing persons who had de-
signs upon the material, and some time
ago one of the sentries killed a man
who was caught carrying off valuable
mining. 1t was recommended by the
secretary. on the strength of reports
from Brooklyn. that a large building,
to cost 100000 and to be used as g
coppersmith's shop, should be erected
at the yard. but the house naval COM
mittee. which has been considering the
estimates, cut down this item. 1t is
now considered important to furnish a
| storage place to be built of steel OF
dimensions necessary to take care OF
material of this kind, and not leave il
| as an invitation to thieves. 1t is esti-
mated that such building would cost
$40, 600.

WILL RAISE FUND FOR THAT PURPOSE

For the purpose of carrying on
throughout the state a political cam
paign for the advancement of the pr1n-
ciples of organized labor and represen-
tative government, it is announced that
the Central Labor counil of Seattle will
undertake to raise a fund of from
$1,000 to $500 for the use of the
Workmen's league for political work.
This undertaking was decided upon
at a meeting of the council in the
adoption of a report of a committee
appointed to investigate the Workmen' S
league, states a Seattle report. The
league is a semi independent organiza-
ton of union workmen, composed OF
members of the local labor unions, out
organized for promoting the work OF
advancing union principles through po-
litical organization.
It is virtually the same organization
which inaugurated some months ago
the municipal ownership campaign
which succeeded in electing Mayor
Moore.
The committee from the council TO
investigate and report on the work ol
the league has done excellent work
work which has been of value IN ad-
vancing the cause of organized LABOR
and saws that if given financial assist
ance if can do for the STATE
the same effective work it mas
ACCOMPLISHED in this city. Ii
mentions specifically the proposeo
direct primary law, which, the repor'
saws. is assured of passage, proVlo-
cd the workingmen of the state display
an active interest in promoting 1t.
The officers of the league dlsclain
any attention of seeking 10 orsohiA'
an independent political party Tor stat'
nurposes. but will undertake to "orf
in the present parties. securing pledges
from candidates and the nomlha'ioi
for legislative offices of labor unioiiis'' u
and their sympathizers.

minis republicans and made strong
fight for the nomination. In Thursday s
Ringgold county caucuses, however
the Perkins Hepburn combination won
out Perkins will have seventy-n nine
instructed delegates in the Ringgold
county convention and Cummins fifty
three. The county will thus give a
solid congressional delegation to
Hepburn.
F. E. Sheldon, the "standpat" candi-
date for the legislature, was nominated
over w. B. Buck, the Cummins candi-
date.
Perkins success in Ringgold is, from
his standpoint, the most encouraging
event Of the campaign thus far The
delegation was solid for Cummins five
years ago. The contest for the control
of the county began months ago, and
had been carried on desperately by
both factions Colonel Hepburn's
splendid record at this session of con-
gress gave strength to the "standpat
workers. Governor Cummins made five
speeches in the county.

vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the Diocese of Pennsylvania
opened here this morning at the Church
of ST Lunke and the Epiphany, on
Thirteenth street, below Spruce. This
convention marks the three hundredth
anniversary of the founding of the first
Protestant Episcopal church in Ameri-
ca, at jamestown, Va.
One of the features of this conven-
ton will be missionary thanks offer
ing by men of the church. Hitherto
women have supported this department
of church work The diocese of Penn
sylvania will endeavor to raise $780,
600 for it's donation to missions at the
general convention. The report of the
board of missions will be a notable
one. as more churches and missions
have been established in the diocese
during the last twelve months than
for many years.
