LOUISIANA, TOO, HAS OYSTER
TROUBLES.

Down in Louisiana they are having
troubles with the oyster industry
which appear to be somewhat OF
the nature Of our own.
The New Orleans States, comment
ing upon a complaint lodged against
the State oyster commission mildix
defends that body, but deprecates the
possible Consequences CT unwise ad-
ministration and declares that 1t Is
possible to make the industry rank
with the cotton and sugar industries
OF the State.
"Indistriminate depreciation" seems
to be the chief cause ct depletion Of
the supply in Louisiana The same
abuse has been alleged in this State.
The New orlesns papers observa-
tions follow:
But the talk of depleted reefs Is
not encouraging, In view OF the TACT
that Louisiana has had an oyster CON-
mission for q number Ct years ana
that the business OF that commission
ought to be to prevent the depletion
of the oyster reefs. whether natural
reefs or private leases. Colonel Wick.

oyster grounds In the State are no"
barren wastes. as result CT a
,ruinous policy of indiscriminate tie
probation. or course. this has not
occurred under the administration OF
the present board: perhaps much CT
the waste had been brought about
even before the State created our
oyster commission. We do not know.
But whatever may be the facts
with regard to the past We hope n
will be the policy OF the present and
all subsequent commissions to encour-
age the reclamation Of wasted and
barren territory. and to make impos-
sible any future depletion of the oys-
ter sesfs OF the State. There are
possibilities Of developing sources OF
great wealth by the observation and
propagation OF this important indus
try along practical scientific lines. 1t

TRYING TO FATHOM IT
TO ORIGINAL COURSE
EFFORT TO GET NEXT TO THE
CRIMINAL ITALIANS WHO
INFEST THIS COUNTRY

NEW YORK, March i6,~Discus-
sion OF the assassination in Italy OF
Police Lieutenant Joseph petrosino
brings out the fact that he was work
ing out the details Of plan check
ing the black hand, which was pre-
pared originally for the National lm-
migration Commission, which was
appointed some time ago BY Com
gress to investigate the immigration
problem and to devise means for
regulating the evils attendant there.
TO, After consideration by the com
mission the draft was turned over to
the New York police department and
il was considered an excellent
scheme through which the New York
authorities could work against Ital-
ian criminals, This is probably what
gave rise TO the rumors that Petro-
sino had gone to Italy on special
federal mission
Though the report covered the
ground in detail. it contained princi-
pal Recommendation as follows;
l--Get first from the tribunal rec
ords in Italy a list of the criminals
who have finished their terms OF
state prison in the last six years.
Establish which 81 these ex-
convicts went openly or secretly to
America. Get if possible the adj
dress. his photograph and then sec
ure the penal certificate necessary to
start here the proceedings for de-
portation.
3-Through the same criminal rec
ords get the names of criminals who
have been convicted, and whose
terms in prison expire within the
next six years.
These names kept in orderly rec
ord could furnish TO the immigration
means to prevent the in
into the United States Of
other criminals and would aid further
Investigations in the future.
In pointing out why Italian Grim
inals were anxious to come to Amer
ica, the report said:
'1The main reason why they come
to America is one very important to
be considered here, and that it is the
ease with which it is possible to
escape punishment in the United
States"

IL should like TO say that | believe
most clergymen to be good men, but
many good men are indiscreet," said
Mr. Barton in further explanation OF
his remark, "The same may be said
ot many women church members. a
clergyman should so order his life
and so safeguard his relations with
the women of his congregation that
no breath of suspicion should ever
be heard"
One OF the ministers who heard
the Rev. Mr.. Bartou's lecture said
that he invariably had his wife ans

can spy out evil motives in another
woman more rapidly than man.
