Afternoon Session.
AS soon as the Senate had reconven-
on the bill creating Commissioner OF
Fisheries was presented. The con-
forces accepted the Senate amend
mems. excepc as to the salaries OF the
chairman of the commission and the
and $1,000 respectively. Senator Walk
err did not sign the report, but pre-
serted minority report which did not
agree as to the amount of salary. The
remainder of the afternoon up to 6
o'clock was consumed in discussion of
the question before vote was taken.
Senator Walker declared that the
ehairnan of the commission was not

Soo besides travelling expenses, which
IN the last year have averaged $50 per
month. Senator Walker claimed that
the report of the board covered thirteen
months. and that the amount asked
FOR was far in excess OF what the COM
mission needle dor deserved Senator
walker did not wish to say anything
deragatory to the members OF the
board, nor did he wish lin any way to
reflect on the board as a whole. but he
declared that the report of last year was
so clearly erroneous as to be misleading.
He questioned the figures showing that
last year the September collection ex-
ceeded the October collection by about
eight times--a thing unprecedented. as
always heretofore the October collec-
ton had exceeded the September COL
lection by about six times. There were
many other features about the report
which Mr. Walker said he did not
understand. He went deeply into sta
tistics, which he claimed proved that
the amount asked for by the board
was exorbitant. The Senator spoke
with great force and convincing power.
and intimated that politicts in mea-
ksure had influence In the appointment
of members of the board.
He gave the following figures as
receipts by the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts for the collections from the
oyster Industry for the past five years,
for the months OF September and

two rabbits which he had shot, he was
accosted by James St~enerwald, game
warden, of South Amboy. The warden
discovered the two dead rabbits and
questioned the priest as to who had
shot them.
Father Guilfallar was congratulating
himself on the t%ruenes OF his aim and
the success of his hunting expedition

rabbits would cost him just $40 each.
He allowed the priest to go, but advised
him to remit the $40 and avoid further
