The neglect of the herring schools
to visit the coast of Maine with their
accustomed frequency this year. has
resulted in a shortage of the canning
supply which threatens to send up the
price of sardines for the year 1913.
There was somewhat plentiful sup
ply of fish in eastern waters att the
opening of the season., but the schools
have rapidly diminished in numbers
until within the past few weeks only
few wandering schools have fallen
prey to the fishermen. The Gamers
usually plan TO close the season with
supply of 100000 cases in stock,
hut this year even with the 100000
cases II carried over there appears
little prospect of securing the normal

FIXING STATE
LINE ON BAY
P. S. c. Digs Up Old Agree
ment With Jersey.

Periodically the question Of the
boundary line between the states
comes to the surface and creates
considerable interest. The latest is
that Of the question as to the boun-
daries of the states of New York
and New Jersey in the bay and their
respective rights over the waters of
the harbor has come up in a dispute
owe express rates before the Public
Service Commission. M. Rockefeller,
of No. 1866 East Fourteenth street,
S~heepshead Bay, complained that
the United States Express Company
had charged him an unjust rate for
the transportation of a package from
st. George to his home. The COM
pany replied that the commission
had no Jurisdiction, as in the course
of transit the ferry carried the pack
age across the New Jersey line, and
that consequently the transaction
became n of interstate commerce..
This novel argument set the Pub
lie Service Commission at work
hunting up its ancient history. 1t
found that in 1888 the states of New
York and New Jersey made an
agreement as to their boundaries in
the Hudson river, the bay and other
boundary waters. The first article
set the boundary in the center of the
Hudson, the bay, the kills dividing
Staten Island from New Jersey, and
Raritan bay except as hereinafter
otherwise particularly mentioned"
The next article gave New York
exclusive jurisdiction over Bedlow's
and Ellis Islands, and the third
widely extended the maritime juris-
di;t1on Of this state. 1t granted to
New York exclusive jurisdiction over
all the water of the bay of New
York, and of the Hudson north of
Spuyten Duyvil creek, as far as the
low water mark on the Jersey shore,
subject, however, to certain property
rights reserved to New Jersey.
New Jersey retained the owner
ship of all lands under water as far
as the center of the bay and the
Hudson, the jurisdiction over all
aground on it's shores or tied to n
of its docks, except that these YES
sells were subject to New York's
quarantine or health laws. More
over, New Jersey retained jurisdic-
ton over all fisheries west of the
center line, provided navigation was
not o~bstructed.
In the face of this agreement that
New York should exercise exclusive
jurisdiction over all waters up to
the Jersey ~1ow-water mark, which
has been confirmed by congress, the
Public Service Commission will
probably assert the right to control
the express rates between Staten
Island and other parts of the city,
even If the ferry did steer west of
the center of the bay.

SPECIAL GUARD
FOR PRISONER
Hot Springs Police Fear At
tack on Sam Schepps.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 13.-Sam
Schepps, said to have been the pay
master who provided the murderers of
Herman Rosenthal with money with
which to make their escape after they
had killed the New York gambler, is
still here.
Schepps has succeeded in attracting
much attention In this city. Acting
Mayor Petit, alderman Of the Third
ward, who is officiating In the absence
Of Mayor Waters, received a telegram
from District Attorney whitman stat
ing that Messrs. Turbin and Stewart
would arrive in Hot Springs, coming
from him today, md that Officer Thorn
as would arrive later.
1t Is believed from the New York
prosecutors telegram that Turbtn and
Stewart have stopped in the various
state capitals en- route here and Sc
cured the necessary requisition and le-
gal papers In order to be sure that
they would have no trouble on their
return journey. Why they should have
ia all this trouble is a mystery to
the local officials who have Schepps In
charge and especially SO to the noted
prisoner, who said: "They needn't have
gone to all the bother OF getting requi-
sition papers, for I'll go back with
them the moment they arrive whether
they have requisition papers or not.
am anxious to see whitman, and when
l tell my story to him, which l will do

ment that Schepps has made, denying
all newspaper men an audience.

Acting Mayor Petit gave Captain of

did not care to be in his room, and the
officials acquiesced in his request to
take a walk. Schepps has attracted
hundreds Of persons to the Marquette
hotel. The lobby has beer filed with
a steady stream Of curious callers,
many of them asking permission to go
to his room. Schepps, accompanied by
Howell, came into the lobby of the
hotel after the lunch at a nearby res
t%aurant. Mrs. Petit jokingly asked
him If he would object If she got a
tent, put him inside and charged an
admission fee, as every n seemed SO
anxious to see him.
"Ill do anything to accommodate the
ladies'" laughingly replied Schepps.
