DEFIANT OYsTERMEN.

Determined to pull up every oyster
stake in James river, about 800 armed
oystermen swept out of Pagan creek,
from Battery Park near Newport News,
yesterday morning, but were inter
cepted near the mouth OF the creek
by the gunboat Commodore Maury,
flagship OF the Virginia oyster navy,
with Chairman Mcdonald Lee, OF the
State Board of Fisheries, on board.
When the policeboat ran i'll front OF
the outbound fleet, the little boats
quickly circled round her and the
armed tongers dared the men aboard
to open fire.
For an hour conflict between the
tongers and the police seemed imml-
nent, but after long party, the ton
gers agreed to desist from their in
tention of tearing up the stakes If
Commissioner Lee would agree to
have a complete resurvey Of the James
river made and not allow the planters
to stake in any of the natural rock,
whether the rock is within or without
the lines of the Baylor survey. In
order to prevent bloodshed Commis-
sioner Lee agreed to have the resur-
vey and to drive the planters back
from the natural rocks and keep their
stakes away from the edge OF the Bay
lor lines. The commissioner promised
to have the work on the resurvey be-
gin next Tuesday morning.
The oystermen announced that
unless the resurvey was begun at that
time, they would proceed to pull up
all of the stakes in James river. and
that all the police boats and inspectors
of the Virginia oyster navy could not
stop them.
Commissioners Lee arrived at New
port News early yesterday morning III
response to message from the in
spector at Battery Park. The inspector
had learned that the tongers meant to
move yesterday against the stakes. as
the oyster season opens today. The
AIaury stopped at Old Point, and
Chairman Lee conferred with Inspector
". E. Lawson, of Hampton. Aboard
the Maury was force of armed men
and the one-pound rapid-fire gun at
her bow was cleared for action.
The scene enacted off Pagan creek
is unprecedented in the history OF Vlr-
ginia. Commissioner Lee had been
warned to be ready for trouble, and
he was prepared. The oystermen
seemed equally as determined, and for
a few minutes cries of Fire at u.s."
Fire at usl" came from the tongers,
who were armed with shotguns, rifles
and revolvers. Standing on the fore
castle deck of the Maury, Commodore
Lee parleyed with the irate oystermen,
and finally the hubbub subsidized, and
q committee of the tongers came
alongside to confer with the commits
sioner. The upshot was that the COM
missioner promised the resurvey and
the tongers agreed to abide by the
decision. At noon the tongers dis
persed and Commissioner Lee con-
tinued up James river to the Rocks
He returned last night on the Commo-
dore Maury.

Tim Donohue, special customs IN

Levine, accompanied by his wife, returned
home to New York yesterday in the first
cabin of the Kronprinzessin Cecilie Mr.
Levine. according to Tim, declared a
gold watch. which was valued within the
500 limit. and nothing more. The pair
standing on the Hoboken pier by their
baggage excited Tins" curiosity.
And what be We afther carryin' there,
NAV I ask" said the dignifed sleuth to the
astonished Levine, who had seen nothing
to suspect in the elderly gentleman with
white whiskers and faultless attire who
now stood leaning on his umbrella in front
of him
There was bulge in the traveller S
lower right hand waistcoat pocket just
across from the pocket in which he carried
the watch he had declared. Before he had
time TO protest, against the intrusion Tim
had ''frisked" him. and drew forth, he said,
another gold watch Then he showed his
badge and asked for Levine's pocketbook,
and in this. Tim said, he found q dia-
raond and ruby bracelet. This was enough
to cause the deputy surveyor 10 seize the
trunks. The trunks will be searched at
leisure. and in the mean time Mr.. Levine
must appear to-day before Special Deputy
Surveyor Smyth at the Custom House.

HENRY IN; LOEB PLEASED
Collector Sure Surveyor of Port
Is in Sympathy with His Plans.

General Nelson H. Henry is now the Sur
veyor of the Port. He was sworn in at
noon yesterday by William Loeb. il, the
Collector, and from the few words MI
Loeb uttered after the ceremony 1t was
apparent that there was a pact OF SYM.
patty which should remove the friction be-
tween the two officers, friction common
in former administrations. Mr.. Loeb said:
Every head of an office likes to have
men who are in sympathy with his plans
and purposes around him. l am sure that
General Henry is in sympathy with what
has been done here in the last year, and
with what it is purposed to do. L con-
graduate the President and Secretary Mac
Veagh on the excellence of their choice for
Surveyor of this port
General Henry was surrounded by his
family and friends when he entered the
Collectors room. Mrs Henry and the
Misses Henry were near him when the oath
was administered Nearly every deputy
surveyor was present and Charles Ander-.
son. Internal Revenue Collector; George
". Wanmaker. the Appraiser. and Thomas
Lawler. Superintendent of Buildings, rep
resented other departments of the govern
ment service. Lloyd c. Griscon, president
of the Republican County Committee, was
among the crowd in the room.
In the afternoon the Surveyor witnessed
Captain Lutz's methods of applying mill
tary discipline to the large force of watch
men organized under Collector Loeb's adj
ministration. When seen just before clos
ing time General Henry said
Il appreciate the arduous, complicated
duties of the Office; there is much to learn
and I shall go slowly. 1 shall. of course,
perform the duties of the Office to the best
of my abilities, with fairness and justice
and with courtesy to all. In accomplishing
whatever 1 do I appreciate that l am only
one of the spokes in the wheel of the port
business. l shall work in absolute har
nlony with my associates in establishing and
maintaining the sd me policy that has been
inaugurated, and shall exact efficiency on
the part of my subordinates. l shall stand
by them in. every effort they make in the
line of faithful service, w out which my
individual efforts would be of no avail
Surveyor Henry has made a partial in
spection of the port, end in the next few
days will complete his journey to the

NV Dear Mr. Wolfram: | write to ask

cordial Invitation to attend the festival. my
great regret at MY liability TO keep the pro-
Vlsional promise which | at that time gave
the committee TO be present. I had al
ready accepted an invitation 10 review the
Memorial Day parade of the Grand Army
of the Republic at New York and had
hoped in connection with that trip TO New
York 10 take part in the shooting festival
The pressure OF official work was how
ever. so great that | found IT impossible
TO do more than visit New York Tor the
review and hurry back to Washington

the committee. but | learn nov, 70 my
great regret that il had not, and that there
IS some feeling on the part of those inter-
ested in the festival al TIE seeming lack Ct

I am sorry TO have given any cause for
this feeling but am sure you will under
stand that the failure to send a definite an

SEEKS TO SAVE CITY
Taxpayers Suit to Prevent Pur.
chase OF Croton Iron Mine.

Charles H. Bull. a surveyor in the De-
partment of Water Supply, Gas and EIec-
1ricity, began in the Supreme Court yes
terday a taxpayers action to restrain the
commissioners of appraisal from proceeding
further to determine the value of certain
parcels of land in Putnam County. which
the city sought TO acquire for the Croton
Falls reservoir. The first step was to OBJ
tain yesterday from Justice Erlanger a
temporary injunction.
The defendants are Henry NJ. Thompson
Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and
Electricity: William Church Osborn John
Quinn and William NJ. Benjamin, the COM
mssioners of appraisal. appointed in 1906
and the four members of the old Aqueduct
Commission, removed by Mayor Gaynor
The action is brought with a view to save
TO the city 81, 10000. the amount of a claim
made by the Croton Magnetic Iron Mines
for its property. which amount. with in
terest, will grow to nearly $6.G00OG0
According to j. Hampden Dougherty
counsel for the plaintiff. the mining prop
erty acquired had long been abandoned.
and, besides, the act of the AqUeduct Com
nlissioners in so changing their plans as TO
include the property was illegal and was
adopted without a public hearing
