OYSTER BILL IS
 WARMLY OPPOSED
Said the Small Town Repre- sentatives Will Not Favor Invasion of Town Terri tory.

Many natural "growthers'' interest ed yesterday i'll the hearing before the committee on shell fisheries at Hart ford, in the bill concerning exclusive state jurisdiction of the natural oyster grounds in. the towns of Milford and Orange or from the breakwa Gr at tn 2 mouth of the Housatonic river easterly to South End, off the old Light at New Haven.
 This is one of the oyster growthers'' bills, and strenuous opposition is ex- pected before the matter is finally dis posed of, as was evidenced yesterday.
 The strength of the fight against it will probably. come from the represen- tatives of the small towns. These lat ter will fight it vigorously, because it involves the principle of extend ng the line of state control of oyster lands still further into the Connecticut sh re north of the present state jurisdic- tion line, and interfering with what West Haven. Milford, and other long shore towns consider town rights. The right to control the Jurisdiction of the natural beds above indicated have hitherto been maintained zealously by the towns off which these natural beds lie.
 It is claimed that both the profes- sional oyster farmers and, seek to break over the state line and tow l line and dredge oysters on the town beds of both Milford and Orange.

 The Jules Henry was a French tank vessel. explained by M. Escoffier. The cause of the explosion is unknown. It occurred while preparations were being made to unload the ship.
 Later it was learned that the ex- plosion followed the entry into the tank hold of the vessel of a repre- sentative of the Veritas agency and the second officer who were inspect ng the vessel. Twenty men of the crew were at work at the time. They were blown high into the air and many of them mangled. Among the fatally in jured are the two inspectors. The deck of the bark was lifted off and the for ward part of the ship wrenched as- under.
 Fire completed the wreck. Neighbor- ing ships attempted to render aid but the Jules Henry burned so fercely that they could not come close enough to take anyone off.

 woodbury. Conn.,, April 1-In the matter of the disappearance of Rev. Augustus Dane, on the same day that Mrs. George s. Procter left town. the editor of the Woodbury Reporter, who has been a staunch supporter of the missing clergyman, says in his paper:
 To champion the cause of man an defend him even when standing almoss alone and this because you believe in the integrity of character and honesty of purpose of the man whose cause you champion-to do all of this and then witness the crumbling ruins of what you thought was substance-to have this experience and still retain faith in humankind is only possi ble when the victim of misplaced conf dence reflects that where there is one black sheep there are scores of the opposite color, that where one man goes astray, be he preacher or the humblest citizen of our land, th~re are multitudes who are not turned aside from the straight path of rectitude, and are not led astray by the glamour of their own diseased and d sordered intellects.
 We have no need to remind the read CTS of the Reporter that the writer has been persistent in his defense of the man whom the Methodist people of Woodbury honored by placing in charge of their parsonage and church during the past two years.
 We believed the man was all that we claimed him to be. But it seems that he had the power to deceive some of his most intimate friends, and deep and is the sequel Certa'n it is that in the days to come should any of the cloth hope to secure the aid of the Woodbury Reporter in his efforts to establish a reputation for the alleged personal possession of abfl ity and character, he must do so in ths of our advertising columns pai nat regular rates. and in ad-s
