washington. May lin an opinion
the Supreme Court OF the United
states today decided the case of John
Leach vs. the State OF Louisiana in
volving the right of Leach, under a
license from the city OF Natchez. to
pilot a vessel from the gulf to that
city.
The charge was prosecuted by the
state of Louisiana because he did not
have a license from the authorities at
New Orleans as required by the
Louisiana law, but he pleaded the
Federal law of 1887. which auth orized
the employment of pilots with passes
from the authorities of either Louisi-
ana or Mississippi. Regardless of this
Federal statute, the Louisiana court
held against him. He appealed from
the decision of the Supreme Court of
that state with the result that today
he again failed to obtain relief.

Dredging TO be Recommended

Dredging 10 De Ke-cOmmenceu
The contract was signed last Satur-
day with the Hill Dredging Co., of At
Iantic City, for the dredging of the In
land Waterway from the Holly Beach
drawbridge to Stone Harbor. $50 900
has been appropriated by the state to
go on with this work and about 500, 900
will be spent here, the balance to be
used at Atlantic City. There are
some people in Atlantic City who want
the work done above there instead of
coming this way to meet the waterway
from Cape May to Stone Harbor. If
this is done the money expended will
practically be wasted as the nearest re-
sort up the coast is Beach Haven and
there is one stretch just above Atlantic
City which the engineers say will cost
from $50, 900 to $100, 900 to go through.
On the other hand If they work this
way this amount of money will enable
them to connect at Stone Harbor, thus
making a complete deep waterway all
the way from Cape May to Atlantic
City, taking in the Five Mile Beach
resorts, the Seven Mile Beach resorts,
Sea Isle City aud Ocean City and CIV
Ing these places the advantage of a
