OYSTER PLANTERS
FORCED TO VACATE
Will Be Allowed One Year to
Remove Oysters From
Public Rocks.
[speclnl to The T!mes-pispatch. !


Newport News. Va, September IL
Another echo OF the tongers war OF a
year ago on James River was heard
here to-day. when the State Commits
sion OF Fisheries took action in TWEEN
ty-eight cases of alleged encroach-
ment by the planters upon the public
rocks. and forced all OF the planters
to vacate. Seventeen other cases are
pending. and will be decided by tho
commission tomorrow at an adjourned
session.
Many planters and tongers attend :
ed the session to-day. and evidence
pro and con. was heard by the com
mission throughout the day. The de-
cisions were rendered late tonight
following an executive session. All
OF the cases were decided on the sur
vey recently made by State Surveyor
Reudiger. and neither the tongars nor
planters were questioned.
the right to move their oysters from
that part of the public rock upon
which they have encroached and, in
many cases. allowed one year for this
work. This does not meet with the
approval Of the tongers. fho argue
that the planters should not be al
lowed to take oysters from the pub
lie rocks upon which they have en-
croached.
This phase of the question may
again be brought up. for the tongers
fear that they will be the losers by
reason of the fact that the planters
could strip the public rocks on which
they had encroached and thus leave
the tongers nothing for the trouble
in getting the new survey.

STATE OF MAINE
VOTES FOR LIQUOR

CONTINUED From First Page.)
ernors Conference tomorrow express
ed widely divergent views upon the
result Said Governor Emmett O'Neal
of Alabama:
II am delighted to hear that Maine
has gone wet. We had the same fight
in Alabama in 1909, which led against
putting prohibition in the State Con-
stitution. AS the result OF our victory
we have disposed Of the problem In an
excellent manner"
Governor Albert w. Gilchrist. OF Flor
ida: 1T appears that prohib ton waves
sweep the country about every twenty
five years. In 1855 or 1856 the New
England States went dry Maine got
1t into her Constitution, and could not
get it out Later the Northwest and
the South experienced the same change.
Now comes the reflex action. the one
that will put the 'prohabassee out Of
business. My definition for a 'proha-
bassee' is man who. while taking a
drink himself. does not want to see
any one else take anything but stomach
bitters or soft drinks"
Governor Robert S. Wesley, of South
Dakota: II regret very much that
Maine has taken a backward step"
Governor A. ]. Pothier. OF Rhode
Island: Il am not surprised. When I
last saw Governor Plaisted. OF Maine.
close friend of mine. he told ME that
he was going to try to do what he has
seemingly done. I am not surprised
