Afternoon Session
The protection OF Holsters and the
question Of whether or not fish can hear.
took up the afternoon session Of the
Fourth International Fisheries Congress
assembled at the New Willard Hotel
yesterday, and both the lobster and the
gastronOmer we're pleased by the results.
State Fish Commissioner James DonO-
hue. Of Maine. assured the congress
that Holsters would be more plentiful
this year than for many seasons Also.
he assured them. they would be better
and cheaper. And the Holsters pleasure
came from the general decision that his
young should be protected by law Not
only was Il proposed 10 make more
stringent the rules against the catching
Of small CwstaCeans. but IL was sugn
geSted that the sale OF small Holsters be
prohibited since now the small members
OF the HDmaruS AmeTtcanus are sold
freely in the middle West where there Is
no law whatever TO regulate the trade
And as for the hearing OF fish, DIT.
Francis b. Sumner. director Of the fish
cries laboratory. Woods Hole. Mass.
said that some could and some could not
hear. It grew out Of the statement %
President Hermon Bumpus that the fish
had been frightened away from Nara

he said, the FISH didn't bite as they did
before. And thai was accepted as proof.
