DENIES MARRIAGE STORY
Declares There Has Been No Recon-
Citation With His
Former Wife.

denied reports circulated to the effect
that he had remarked his former wife,
Claudia Ibbey Hams, on whose account
he killed William E. Annis three years
ago.
When seen by Star reporter at the
office of his father, Gen. Peter G. Hams,
where he is working. Capt. Hams said
that there is not single word Of truth
in the statement that there had been a
reconciliation between himself and his
former wife.
II only got my divorce about four
weeks ago and had to pay money for 1T, -
said Capt. Hams, so 1 am certainly not
trying to reach any reconciliation with
my former wife. AS for the reports that
were circulated in New York and else
where as to our remarriage, l guess it
was a case Of too much Christmas cele-
bration on the part of certain parties. 1t
is absolutely false, and there will never
be any reconciliation between u.s.
Capt. Hams has been in Washington for
some time, and is engaged In engineering
with his father, with offices in the Union
Trust. building. 1t Is not decided how
long he will remain in Washington, and
If he leaves here it will be to superin-
tend work elsewhere under his father s
orders. Both he and Gen. Hams said
they deeply regretted the numerous re-
ports that have been circulated since
Capt. Hams release from prison.

1t is the clear vowel sound that in sing

nearly every italian word ends with one

Italian possesses tho supremacy of song.
Italian words shape themselves to the

But what do we have in English? We

CHESAPEAKE BAY CROP
MAY FOLLOW LOBSTER
Is in Danger of Extinction Un-
less Steps for Preserva-
ton Are Taken.

Secretary Swepson Earle of the Ma
tional Association of Shellfish Com
missieners, who surveyed and planted
the oyster grounds of the state of
Maryland. has begun a campaign for
legislation by the states of Virginia and
Maryland that will prevent the extinc
ton Of the green crab of Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries. The wasteful
methods in taking the crustaceans are
rapidly reducing the yearly catch, and
will soon have the crabs as scarce as
Holsters now are in Massachusetts,
waters. Mr.. Earle had ample oppor
tunity to observe the methods of the
crab fishermen while working on the
Maryland oyster survey, and through
w. Mcdonald Lee Of the Virginia fish
cries commission and Gov. Crothers of
Maryland has made the following
recommendations to the legislatures of
the two states:
Restrictions Urged.
To require all boats engaged in TAX
ing soft-shen or shedder crabs with
scrapes to be licensed; also all boats
under sail or gasoline power engaged
in taking hard-shell crabs with trot
lines or nets.
To require all crabhouses engaged in
picking. canning or shipping hard or
soft shell crabs to be licensed.
To prohibit the taking of bear
ing female crabs at any and all times.
To prohibit the catching of "dou-
blers" in. August. September and Octo-
Der Of each year and the sale Of soft
shelled females so obtained.
To prohibit or restrict the taking or
sale Of all hard-shelled crabs under
three and one-half inches in length
from tips Of shell.
Need Of a Gull Law.
For the lack of q Gull law Mr. Earle
states that many million understood
crabs are taken. and, with the larger
crabs. are thrown into the pots at the
crab meat picking houses. and, being
too small to pick. are thrown into the
trash. Thus many millions of crabs
are uselessly destroyed for want of a
Gull law.
Mr.. Earle believes the revenues aris-
ing from the crab licenses in excess
of the expenses of carrying out the
provisions of such an act should be
expended in conservation.
The state laws Of Virginia now pro-
hibit the taking of the egg bearing
female crab. and also the provision for
the licensing OF boats and crabhouses.
The Virginia legislature will be asked
to enact supplementary laws to pro-
hibit the taking of "doublers" and
crabs under three and one-half inches
in length.
