SEED OYSTERS IN POTOMAC.
QUESTION RAISED AS TO JOINT
LEGISLATION.
Both Maryland And Virginia Have AdOp-
ted Laws With Reference TO Taking
Small Oysters In The Rivers.

In connection with the discussion
regarding the taking of seed oysters
under the oyster culture act attention
has been called TO the status OF the
Joint legislation on the part of the
states OF Maryland and Virginia ap-
plying TO the taking Of such oysters in
tie Potomac river.
in a large part Of this river there
are many oysters which do not grow
10 marketable size for the same reason
that they do not in the upper portion
of the bay-namely, that they are de-
stroyed by fresh water. Both Mary
land and Virginia have adopted laws
I'm connection with the subject, but il
appears that the two states have never
uassed acts which are essentially the
same in their provisions.
Governor Warfield and DIR. Caswell
Grave have taken the matter up,
aud viii make certain whether or not
the legislature of Virginia passed an
act similar to the Act of 1904 passed
by Maryland relative to the subject.
III Virginia did pass this act Gov
ernor Warheld Will issue his procla.
nation, as required by law, an
nouncing that the Maryland Act Of
1901 has gone into effect. If the Vir-
ginia legislature of 1906 did not pass
the act, as is believed to be the case,
il will be suggested by the Maryland
authorities that such an act should
be passed.
In 1900 the Virginia Legislature pass
ed an act, conditional for its effective
ness upon the passage of a similar act
by the legislature of Marylard, which
provided that the Gull law should not
apply TO oysters taken from the waters
of the Potomac River above a line
drawn from Matthias Point, in Vir-
ignia TO Windmill Point in Maryland
during tho months OF April and
September. 1t was found that this
line was of little use TO the planters
as il was drawn at point on the
Potomac above where there was any
considerable growth of oysters.
In 1904 a committee from the legis-
lature of Virginia visited Annapolis
and upon the representation that Vir-
ignia would certainly pass a similar
act the Maryland legislature passed
Chapter 34l relating to the subject to
take effect puon the, passage of an act
embodying the same provisions by the
Virginia Legislature Of 1906. This act
allowed the taking of small oysters
June / of any year above line
drawn from Cobbs Point in Maryland
to Colonial Beach in Virginia.
This line is about twelve miles
nearer the mouth OF ~the river than
that established by the Virginia Act
OF 1900 and is about twenty-five miles
from the mouth of the Potomac
River. 1t is said that oysters are
plentiful in the designated portion
and opinions diiTer as 10 whether
they usually grow TO marketable size
or not.
Notwithsie ling the fact that the
Maryland act, was passed at the in
stance OF the committee of the Virginia
legislature the latter body apparently
passed over the session of 1906 with
out passing the similar act necessary
for the validity of the Maryland act.
forts are now being made to verify
this and it will be brough ht to tho at
tention of the Virginia Legislature to
its coming session.

ST. JOHNS WINS.
Give F. And NJ. Good Whackihg ST. Iohn's
Reserves Lose.

A large crowd saw some good old
time whacking of the ball at the st.
Johns grounds yesterday when the
nine of local colleglans defeated
Franklin and Marshall by score of
II to z. The fielding was not SO
good, but was partly excusable as il
is still necessary TO play the games
on the temporary field, which is
lumpy and anything but suitable for
accurate fielding.
In the fifth inning, with the score
6 to , in favor tof the visitors, st.
Johns began the most remarkable bat
ting fusillado ever seen in Annapolis
and with clean hitting and four err
rors by the visitors. eleven runs were
made in a single Inning, probably
the record in this vicinity since the
days of the odd Severns, when scores
used TO be III TO 81. Mudd pitched
for st. Johns and kept the hits fair
ly we'll scattered. though he was hit
hard at times. He was not respon-
sible for many of the runs made by
the visitors and no helped the run
getting for his side by making -four
clean singles.
The heavy hitting honors were with
Austin, who made n home-run drive
in the fifth inning and also had
triple and single to his credit.
Captain Carroll had three-baggor
and two singles during n game.
