Concerning the preservation of
work done on the roads during soft

ton to the state law which makes the
act of travelling on a freshly dragged
road during the wet season on more

tered in contest are urged to file in.
formation against anyone guilty of
violations. The offenders will be pros
ecuted: ...~
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son or persons to drive or ride or
cause to be driven any vehicle on the

Live Fish at one,s Door

from the L0nd0n Lancet.
 When a person buys fresh fish in Co., penhagen he really gets 1t. More than tbat, he gets uncontaminated fish. The sewers used to empty into the sea at the nearest convenient points. Now the sew age is collected into a main trunk line and carried two kilometers out to sea before 1t is released.
 Thus there Is no longer any contami- nation of the harbor or the sea front. This not only puts an end to the nuis- ances that used to arise, but enables boats full of live fish to come close to shore and right into the town by means of the salt water canals.
 In this manner at least the smaller fish are kept alive until the moment they are sold. Any number of wooden boats are pierced with holes and filled with fish: these boats just float on the surface of tho water, and the living fish taken out of them when wanted
 But as every one cannot go to the wa ter's edge to buy fish there are water tanks on wheels and the live fish ars brought to the doors of the peoples houses. The principal fish market was built by the municipality and is let to a wholesale fish salesman.
 It is a delight to see how clean and bright these premises are kept. There is TO spreading the fish on slabs so tha, dust and dirt may settle on them. Yer, pretty tesseliated tile tanks are filled witt running water, and here the smaller fist swim about The larger fish, such as COG or halibut, are too cumbersome to keeI alive, and are, therefore, placed in tn, cold storage rooms

ARRESTS MAY FOLLOW
 IN BLACKMAIL CASE

Paris, December 16.-Further sensa- tional developments are promised in connection with the arrest in London of Alexandero Tschernieff, charged with conspiring to blackmail Lucy Tato De Choiseul of Paris, widow of Charles H. Payne of Boston. Tschernieff, who posed as a count, but who, according to the counsel for the prosecution, in reality was Russian peasant, was re- manded in the Marylebone police court December 13, bail having been accepted in the sum of $10.000.
 Attorneys for the Duchess De Choi- seul say that sother arrests, both in London and on the continent, are inn pending, and intimates that the plot to blackmail the former Mrs. Payne, which was based on alleged letters written by her to the so-called Count De Gatigny, who is under arrest for an attempt to extort from the com plainant $2O0,o00 for spurious pictures supplied to her late husband, had many ramifcations.

LOUISIANA MAY KNOCK
 OUT PRIZE FIGHTING

New Orleans, December 16.-Following the announcement of Acting Governors Lambremont that he would use all means necessary to prevent it, the scheduled 2c- roung fight between Toney Ross and Jimmy Barry, for the West Side Athletic club next Sunday, was called off by tho promoters this afternoon.
 The Louisiana laws explicitly prohibit prize fighting, and the announcement of the lieutenant governor that the Ross Barry fight would not be permitted was given out late this afternoon, following the receipt of an opinion by Attorney General Guion that the proposed contest would be in violation of the law.
 Sparring contests are not prohibited oy the Louisiana statutes, but the attorney general held that the Barry-Ross bout was intended as a prize fight, and therc- fore was unlawful
 Unless Governor Sanders on his return from Washington takes an opposite stand in the matter the action of the lieuten- ant governor will result in putting a stop to prize fights in this state.

YOUNG NEW ORLEANS
 BANDIT SENTENCED

New Orleans, December 16.-With smile upon his face, Willie Jackson, Jr., the youthful New Jersey car bandit, who confessed to a series of street car hold ups in this city, was sentenced in the district criminal court to serve five years at hard labor in the state penitentiary. "Its all right; it was coming to me, said Jackson, when sentence was pro- nounced.
 Single-handed the 1S-year-old highway man held up five street cars in New Or leans within week and relieved the con ductors of what company change they had. Jackson explained that he never asked for more than the company's funds, because he knew the conductors were poorly paid and needed all of their own coin.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS
 GET LONGER HOURS

Washington, December 16.-President Taft and his cabinet decided today that government clerks employed in Wash ipgton shall work a half hour longer each day in the future, or seven and half hours. The decision is in line with the police of the administration to bring about greater efficiency and economy in the government departments.
 If some of the departments decide that the efficiency of the clerks is satisfactory at present they may defer increasing the working hours to such time as they may see fit.
