more than economical business man
agemert to make an excellent invest
ment for the city.

when Col Lane said:
You ARE doing me serious injustice.
You are making false statement about

Later ON Dr. Foster said he did not
mean 20 intimate that Col Lane, IN
drawing money for travelling expenses
from the funds Of the hospitals, in addi-
ton 10 the S3OD fixed by the legislature,
WAS attempting 10 rob the state, and

Lane withdrew his remarks concerning
DR. Foster, but went on the stand later

DR. Foster left the stand temporarily

THE DEFEAT OF ALLEE

When. j. Edward Addicks con-
trolled the major portion of the Re
publican party in Delaware and had
secured almost but not quite enough
members of the Legislature to elect
himself United States Senator, one of
his chief henchmen and leading ad-
vocates was Frank Alice. Thelatter
had been aided politically by Ad-
dicks money and was expected in
return TO do his bidding. Alice was
finally sent to the Senate in place OF
his chief. when it was found impOsSi-
BILE to elect Addicks. The election of
Alice was made possible by the gas
magnate and it was but natural to
expect that the new Senator would
stick by his old chief. Frank Alice
wasn't made OF the stuff, however,
that impels a man to loyalty, and
Addicks growing weaker politically
in Delaware, his Senator took the
first opportunity to desert the sink
ing craft and fOrwith installed him
s,lf as thepolitical boss OF that state.
AS VIGOROUSLY corrupt as is the Re
publican electorate OF Delaware, the
voters of that party still hadenough
manhood and AmericaDism lett in
them to condemn what they regarded
as treachery. Alice deserted Addicks
in his hour of need and the reward
for his desertion has Just been meted
out by the Delaware Legislature.
On Tuesday Frank Alleewas defeated
and badly defeated for reelection to
the L. s. Senate, after serving one
term in that body. No one has any
great respect for J. Edward Addicks,
but it will still be hard to find man
who wouldn t prefer to stand i'll Adj
dicks shoes rather than in those OF

THE FISHERIES BOARD

In anumber of instances since its fOrma-
ton, the present State Board OF Fisher
les has demonstrated excellent iudg-
uent in matters Of great Importance to
the industries over which they are
placed, but few decisions OF the board
are more commendable than the one
announced yesterday, refusing. at
present. TO grand deep water oyster
planting bottoms to the Norfolk appli.
cants.
The board in its decision stated that II
could not grant the petitions at present
intimatiDg that perhaps they might be
granted later on. In fact, IL was stated
that it was intended to grant the rights
at a future date. There are certain
laws, however, which will be passed boy
the legislature in the meantime and
when they are enacted it is possible that
there will not be such a vigorous rush
for deep water bottoms.
In the opinion OF many crab experts
the granting of the bottoms in question
would have had u most detrimental
effect on the crab industry in this section
and would have worked great hard
ships on the men engaged in the crat
industry throughout this community.
The present board of fisheries is un
questionably one Of the best bodies o.
the kind that the State OF Virginia has
ever had and the state should feel proud
OF it. Aside from the great financia
strides made under the board, by which
the states revenues have been greatly
increased, many wise policies have frou
time to time been adopted and mucl
good has been accomplished.
The present board devised a plan o
guarding the states oyster grounds
during the closed season by the use o
law boats with the greatest success anC
it is generally acknowledged there wal
less oyster pirating last summer than eve
before in the history of the state. Ii
fact, so efficient and well organized wa
the patrol that the pirates were prae
tcally put out of commission and steal
ing was almost unknown.
The appropriation made by the Stat
of Virginia for the maintenance of th'
fisheries board is absurdly small and j
is to be hoped that the next Legislature
will see it's way clear to increase it
Virginia allows her board only tri1inj
sum as compared To The appropriation
made annually by the State OF Maryland
and vet Virginia has many times TN
amount of water to take care Of Th'
Virginia oyster navy, too, is fleet o
small launches, and small fleet at tina
as compared with the modern anC
efficient navy maintained by Maryland
