New Force Gets Busy.

The new department was formally
organized July 21. Colonel Lutz got
his patrolmen busy at once. In eight
instances they caught members of the
crews of different steamers trying to
take ashore packages containing goods
on which no duty had been paid A
valuable lace spread, q number of
finely wrought fancy boxes, valuable
Jewel case and boxes Of cigars and
bottles of bay rum were among the
finds. In every case they were being
brought ashore when it was supposed
the customs officials had gone for the
day.
Never before in the history of the
customs service has a watch been kept
at night The steamship companies
have always had watchmen at piers.
At least they were supposed to watch.
but according to general report they
were either asleep or oblivious to what
any of the crew might bring ashore.
There will be strict discipline main
tanned of the new force in order To
demonstrate that its organization and
operation may prove its usefulness
The roundsmen will be held account,
able for the detection of delinquent
patrolmen at piers where one man is
assigned on the midnight shifts. The
lieutenants will make unexpected trips
to see that their immediate subordi
mates are really making the proper
rounds.

SHAD LAWS NOT
 TO BE CHANGED
Fishermen Cannot Agree on Excisions
 and Alterations That Should Be Made.
Especial from United PressA


 Hartford, March 23.-The joint com mittee on fish and game has decided to report ill favor of no material changes in the shad law at present on the statute looks which makes the open season for shad the six weeks from May to June Fist. This was passed in 1907 and changed the begin ming of the season from March IA to May 9th in order that fishing earlier than May 9th must not stop the shad from getting up the river to spawn as it seemed had been the case
 The Connecticut river is the only river in the state where shad run and the result of two years of this short season has seen no marked increase in the number caught but a remark able increase in the number of meas ures amending the shad law which were introduced in this session of the legislature. The river fishermen want the river left open and the tributaries the Pennington river, Salmon river, Hamburg Cove and the rest, closed a term of years, on the calm that catch ing shad off the spawning beds is do- ing damage and the tributary fisher men want the river closed on the plea that it is the river fishermen that pre- vent the fish from getting to the spawning beds.
 Meantime the fishermen up stream are at odds with those on the Sound who claim that the present closed sea-
