MILLION FISH FRY PLANTED.
supply Is Put In Lake Superior, Neal
e Marquette.

MARQUETTE. Mich. April 29.--
More than one million whitefish and
lake trout fry have been planted In
Lake Superior in the vicinity of this
port within recent days. The minia-
ture fish came from the United States
hatchery at Duluth and were trans
ported in one of number OF special
ly constructed railroad cars maintain
ed by the federal government. The
planting was done with the aid Of a
fish tug. Fry are deposited In the wa
ters off the shore at this point once
each year. Similar work is carried
on at other ports, and because OF
these operations the commercial fish,
ing business on Lake Superior con-
tinues an important industry.
In the neighborhood OF forty or fif-
ty million fish are hatched at the Du-
luth station every year. The great
bulk of these are whitefish and lake
trout, but other Ash are produced as
well, among the varieties being brook
trout and walleyed pike. The lake
trout eggs are obtained through CO.
operation with the commercial fisher
men during the spawning season in
the fall. The whiteflsh eggs are pro-
cured from the Michigan state hatch
cry at Detroit. The eggs OF the other
varieties OF fish come chiefly from
private institutions. II requires sew
eral months for the eggs to hatch.
The process IL comparatively simple
In itself, but II entails a great deal
of work. Eternal vigilance and much
sorting and handling are necessary.

SAVANNAH, Ca. April 29.-The
granddaughter of Admiral Raphael
Semmes of the confederate navy has
been appointed by the United Sons OF
Confederate Veterans as sponsor for
the whole south for that organization
at the annual reunion Of the United
Confederate Veterans, to be held at
Little Rock, Ark, In May. The distin-
guished ancestry of Miss Eunice A,
Semmes makes her appointment par
ticularly interesting. She Is strik-
ingly beautiful girl, and one OF the
most prominent and popular of the
Alabama smart set.
The spirit of Morse Viking in the
bosom Of southern gentleman made
the elder Raphael Semmes unique in
his day. The ambitions of his youth
were divided between the law and
the navy. He was commissioned mid
shipman In 1888 by President John
Quincy Adams. He was admitted to
the bar, but found that the adven-
turous life Of the sea had charm
for him.

JUSTICE JEFFRIES AND THE
POLICE BURY THE HATCHET
All Differences Settled In Conference
Between Commissioners crouI ana
the JUDGE.

Justice Jeffries and the police de.
partment have buried the hatchet, as
result of conference between the
justice and Police Commissioner
Croul The olive branch is said to
have been extended by Justice JET
fries.
AS the police justice said to The
Times, in explaining his attitude to.
ward the police, a couple OF days af-
ter his reelection, he doesn't want
to be known as an enemy Of the
police or friend of the lawless. He
simply wants to do his duty towards
oil parties concerned In the cases
brought before him.
Police Commissioner Croul is
pleased with the armistice and hopes
1t will continue. He says the settle
ment of the differences between the
police department and the court can
not fail to be big benefit to the COM
munity, as much progress can be
made towards removing bad condi-
tions when the courts and police
work In harmony.

MAYOR OF
OHIO 10 CITY AABBED
Josiah Kirby Charged With Swind-
ling Ben Blumberg, Detroit, in
Stock Deal.

Josiah Kirby, former mayor OF
Wyoming, o., and said to be an OFF,
cial of the Civic Federation OF Gin
cinnati, Is under arrest on charge OF
having obtained $500 by false pre-
lenses from Ben Blumberg, brother
of Simon Blumberg, purchasing agent
Of the Wayne county jail.
Detective Con Sullivan brought
Kirby to Detroit from Cleveland, Sat
urday morning, and he was arraigned
before Police Justice Jeffries, who
held him under $4,000 bonds, to APP
pear May 2, for examination.
According to Blumberg's story, Kir-
by represented himself as an agent
for the United States Publishing Co.,
Cincinnati concern. He sold Blum
berg $500 worth of stock, at 500 a
share. The arrangement was that q
branch Office would be opened here,
with Blumberg as local manager.
Blumberg says Kirby told him the Arm
was incorporated at 100000 and that
stock was worth 500 share.
Offices were established In the
Chamber of Commerce and shortly aft
er. Kirby went away. Later, Blum
berg received mail from Kirby, in
which the latter spoke Of the failure
OF a Cincinnati bank, which would
temporarily embarass the United
States Publishing Co.
This naturally alarmed Blumberg,
who started an investigation. He
says he learned the firm was incor-
porated for only $4,000. instead OF
100000 and that In place Of the
stock being worth 500 share, 1t was
worth only $40.
Kirby was arrested Friday by the
Cleveland police and waived extradi-
ton. He is a man OF pleasing ad-
dress and when he was seen by a
Times reporter In the jail, he pleas
antly refused to discuss his case.
II may talk later" he aid. How
ever, am not certain about my office
hours here and l do not know Just
when you may call"
There is some hint at a settlement
and the former mayor of Wyoming
intimates that he expects to be a free
man before another day.

DYING WORDS
ARE OF HUSBAND
Coroner Believes That Goldie How
land, Suicide, Was Secretly Mar
ried-Mystery in Case.

Coroner Burgess investigation into
the death OF Goldie Rowland, the 1S-
year-old girl who swallowed strych-
nine in the laboratory OF Parke, Davis
& Co.. where she was employed, Friday
afternoon. has developed considerable
mystery.
The authorities are trying to learn
II she had been secretly married. She
sat at table In the laboratory and
suddenly tossed couple of strych-
nine tablets across the table to Vera
Barrett, friend.
+ These are poison" she said. Il
have taken one of them"
Her fellow-employes treated her re-
mark as a Jest. A while later, how
ever. she collapsed.
Bending over her, Miss Barrett
heard her murmur: "Oh, II Frank We're
only nere."
Frank! Who is Frank?" asked
Miss Barrett.
my husband" she whispered. HE
died two years ago."
Those were her last words. She
lapsed into unconsciousness, and be-
fore the ambulance could get her to
ST. Mary's hospitel, she died.
Her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. John
Howland, No. 62 Portland-st., say they
never knew of their daughter having
married. She had been living with her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. N. l.. Frey.
II Miss Howland was welded to the
Frank, of whom she spoke her dy-
ing words, two years ago, she would
then have been but 16 years old. The
theory or the coroner Is that the girl
married two years ago and that her
husband died shortly after their we'd
ding. The girl probably resolved TO
Join her dead husband and took that
means of doing 1t. The investigation
