Commander Howard of the oyster
navy has secured boat and put it at
the disposal of former Police Captain
Edward Schleigh for the purpose Of
experimenting gunners who violate the
law by shooting at ducks and other
game from motor boats on the Chesa-
peake Bay and its tributaries. Captain
Schleigh has been given the title Of
admiral and crew of two men and
sent out to keep watch for such illegal
acts. 1t is charged that the gunners in
boats follow the ducks from one resting
place to another, keeping them continual
ly on the wing Moreover, the noise of
the boats alarms the birds and the
ultimate effect of cunning in this way

The death of Mr. James Allison
Landlord occurred at the Peninsula
General Hospital in Salisbury on Satur-
day morning. About week previous
Mr.. Landlord was taken to the hospital

trouble. 1t was thought that he would

his many friends. Mr. Landlord was
native of Worcester County and was
in the seth year of his age He was a
son of the late Joseph and Elizabeth
Landlord, and for a number of years
had resided in the Beaver Dam neigh
borhood. He was married twice and
leaves a widow, Mrs. Esther Landlord,

With a view to closer and quicker
business connections with the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, the executive com
mittee Of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association, of Baltimore, the
early part of the week, made provisions
for a survey in connection with the pro-
ject of bridging the Chesapeake Bay
In discussion of the scheme by the
committee General Trippe expressed
apprehension that the bridge. if built,
might come under control of the Penn
sylvania Railroad but other members
of the committee did not consider this
probable. The committees report de-
clares that plan for bridging the
Chesapeake from the Baltimore County
to the Kent County shore is perfectly
feasible and involves no great engineer
ing difficulties. The only drawback now,
it is said, that confronts the committee
is the financing of the proposed project.
Much unjust criticism has appeared
in the Baltimore papers within the past
two weeks about the State Game Warden
and the manner in which he was enforc-
ing the State game laws. 1t was very
evident that this criticism was inspired
by person who was an unsuccessful
applicant for the office now held by Mr.
Harmonson. The duties of State Game
Warden are not at all pleasant and as
far as a strict enforcement of the law
is concerned. it is next to impossible
Secretary Denmead of the Maryland
State Game and Fish Protective AS
ISOLATION, strikes the nail on the head
when he says: Whenever number
of violations of the game laws are
made public. the people Immediately
blame the paid official in the State for
those violations. want to put one
question to the public: How can one
paid Game Warden in whole. State
prevent several hundred intricate game
