WAR ON.
New York Oystermen Found
Dredging in Jersey Waters
Will be Arrested.

The recent arrest on the part of
New York state of several New Jersey
fishermen who were caught fishing
beyond the Jersey limits, in the bay
here, is likely to be followed by re-
taliatory action on the part of this
state. The bureau of shell fisheries
yesterday requested the attorney gen.
eral and the state oyster commits
sion to take immediate action for the
apprehension of all New York fisher
men who have engaged in oyster
dredging in Raritan bay.
The oyster act gives the state COM
mission full authority to prosecute
non-residents who use the oyster
beds within this state This rule has
not been strictly enforced, and proba-
bly, would not have beer except for
the action taken by New York. The
arrest of the Jersey fishermen, how
ever, was Immediately followed by
complaints against New York fisher
men. and it was then that retaliation
was decided upon.
The incident has stirred up some
of the Jersey authorities to consider
alton of the pound fishing along the
Jersey coast, much of which is carried
on by residents of other states, and 1t
is possible that it will be used before
the next legislature as an argument
for restricting the pound fishing in
dustry, or at least limiting it to resi-
dents of the state.

ANOTHER HORSE SHOT.
State Inspector Visited New
Brunswick Yesterday Or.
Fithian in Charge Here.

Although the watering troughs and
public sheds were about to be open
ed to the public. State Inspector
Lowe was in conference with local
Health Inspector G. w. Fithian, de-
cided that while no horses might
contract the disease from them, 1t
would be better to keep them closed.
The police were notified this morning
of the decision of Doctors Lowe and
Fithian and were ordered to keep all
the public watering places closed un-
til further notice.
State Inspector Lowe said in con-
versation with a NEWS reporter this
morning that while no cases are
known at present, a number may de-
velop from the past exposures, that
the horses have been submitted, and
he thinks that all the cases are now
in hand, but intends to continue the
strict measures until positive that
the disease is thoroughly exterminat-
ed
The veterinarian is making a tour
of the whole county, and will make a
thorough inspection of every place
in the state as soon as possible.
One more horse was shot yesterday
at South River, owned by the South
River Brick Company. where four
horses, infected with glanders, were
shot last week by DR.. Lowe.
The inspector was at New Bruins
onJ nyaO,iTad pyncV
camp outside of the city. These
camps, the inspector says, often are
the origin of the disease.
Local Inspector Fithian will con-
tinue the inspection in this city at
times, and will communicate with
Veterinarian howe should any new
cases develop.
