CRAB INDUSTRY MENACED.
Remedial Legislation Demanded to
Prevent Its Extinction.

That the grabbing Industry in Maryland
waters is in great peril and is in danger
of extinction in ten years is the result OF
investigations made by Swepson Earle,
engineer for the shellflsh commission of
Maryland. at the request OF Gov. Croth-
ers Mr.. Earle made a study of the con-
ditions under which the crab propagated
and the methods used in taking the
crustaceans. spending several weeks in
his Investigations
Remedial legislation is necessary at
once to save the industry. according to
the conclusions reached by Mr.. Earle.
He believes that Maryland should i'm
port the laws which Virginia has enacted
and enforced and which have resulted in
the arresting of the extinction Of crabs.
Under the Virginia law female crabs at
certain sea sons are returned to the waters
instead of being sent to market. Such a
policy will not result in serious immediate
loss to crabbers. as they command prices
of only about one-fifth paid for male
crabs Mr.. Earle is also an advocate of
the Virginia law which places a tax Of
$50 on boats engaged in the grabbing
industry This law has been productive
of large revenues to Virginia, and may
yield as much as $4,000 per anAum in
this state. 1t is suggested that this fund
be used in enforcing the laws for the pro-
lection of crabs. The destruction Of the
industry would mean the loss of employ
ment Of thousands of men and boys. while
the gross receipts. which now amount to
nearly $2,OOO,OOO annually, would be gone
forever.
Gov Crothers. it is stated, will recon-
mend legislation for the protection of the
crab along the lines suggested by Engi-
neer Earle, who is Marylands expert in
such matters and who has had charge of
the work of surveying and mapping the
natural oyster rocks of the state. He
has been employed on that work for sew
eral years.

barges here. took aboard bunker coal.

TWO ROBBED IN HOTEL.
Razors and Gold Filled Bracelets Re-
ported Missing.

That a clever sneak thief is at work in
this city Is regarded by the police as
made evident by another report OF rob-
berries. At the Hotel Grand. 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest, last
night, Frank Manning Of Brooklyn, n.
Y, told Detective McNamee that some
one had entered his room and stole a
leather case containing six razors and .
shaving brush valued at SIC. The other
report was by r. B. Richards OF New
York city, who stated that a safety razor
and five gold-filed bracelets, valued at
$3.50. had been taken from his room.
1t is believed by the police that the
thief is the same who several nights ago
robbed guests at the st. James Hotel.
The fact that the robber takes only
articles Of small value Is causing the
police to wonder. In several OF the rooms
that have been entered the thief LETT
jewelry of considerable value.
