Catch OF Menhaden

More than 1000, OOO, 900 menhaden
were caught off the coasts of New Jersey,
New York, Delaware, Virginia and
North Carolina in 1912, the United States
Bureau of Fisheries reported in reciting
the prosperity that attended the business
of catching the fish and transforming
them into oil and guano. The season
was one OF the most successful of the last
half century. The oil derived from the
fish, according to the bureaus figures,
totalled more than $685. 900 gallons,
while 90, 900 tons OF fertilizer were pro-
duced. Forty-eight factories and $50
vessels engaged in the business. -
Some instances of abuses in the taking
of the fish were found by the bureaus
Investigators. In the Chesapeake Bay
herring and perch, suitable for human
food, were knowingly converted into
fertilizer. This abuse, the bureau declar-
ed, is to be corrected through the net
fisheries at the head of the bay.

Happy Wedding Announcements
MILLER-TaoMPsoN


In Chicago on Wednesday, November
twenty-sixth, Miss Lou Dalbow Thomp-
son, of Penns Grove, and Howard Dixon
| Miller, of Frankton, Ind, were united in
marriage in simple service. The ceremo-
ny took place in the Church of the As
cension at half after two o'clock. The
Rev. w. B. Stoskopf read the beautiful
and impressive Episcopal ring service.
The bride was charmingly attired in a
soft clinging gown of white marquisette
with TRAININGS OF carrickmacrosse lace
and bands OF ivory white satin. She
wore a becoming hat of white with deli
cate pink rose buds nesting underneath
the crown and at her corsage was a bOu-
quet orchids and vail y lilies. Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller after a brief honey moon spent
in Chicago will make their home in Frank
ton, Ind, where the groom is associated
in business with his brother.
There is probably no young girl better
known and more charming in Penns
Grove than the bride. She come from
one of the oldest and first families here
being the elder daughter of j. Ford
Thompson. She is possessed of personal
charm that is rare and accomplishments
that are delightful and what Penns Grove
loses i'll her marriage Frankton gains.
Miss Thompson and Mr.. Miller met in
Haliandale, Fla, where the Thompsons
have been wintering for the past several
years and their marriage on Wednesday
was the elimination OF a pretty omance
with the lovely South as a setting.
Another pretty bit of sentiment in con-
nection with the wedding is the date, the
bride choosing the date of her mothers
wedding anniversary Tor her very own.
Miss Thompson-she was then-left
Penns Grove November first and since
then has been visiting relatives and
kriends in the middle West. Her count
&hss friends in Penns Grove will hasten to
lend their congratulations to the hap
room who is gem rally conceded to

CONFERENCE REPORT
ON TARIFF BILL is
ADOPTED BY HOUSE
sC.nt.nued from Page o.e,


order to discuss 1t at all, the House would
have receded from its original Disagree
ment to the Clarke amendment of the
Senate. Those democrats who opposed
putting any cotton regulations into the
tariff bill made their first stand at this
point and tried to prevent the House
from receding, believing that such ac-
tion would kill the entire proposition.
They were defeated. 203 to 137. Represen-
tative Underwood then brought forward
his compromise amendment and it was
adopted.
Mr. Underwood amitted that he would
personally have preferred to have the cot
ton futures question dealt with sepa-
rately, but said the compromise amend
ment would be greatly preferable to the
Clarke amendment because the former
would regulate cotton exchange while the
latter simply tried to tax gambling in flu
lures out of existence.
A petition urging tariff caucus tomor-
row morning circulated by Senator Reed
and signed by a number of democratic
senators, among them Senators Pomerene
and Hitchcock was submitted to Senator
Kern. the democratic leader, tonight.
Senator Kern said he was in doubt as
to whether the petition bore a sufficient
number OF signatures and that no action
would be taken toward deciding on the
validity of the petition until tomorrow
morning.
The rules of the Senate caucus make
no provision for a call by petition, and
Senator Kern was not willing to say what
number of signatures would be consid-
cred sufficient. although he thought one
fifth of the membership of the caucus
probabl the proper figure. Senator Sim
mons said tonight that he did not know
whether the calling of a caucus would
throw open the entire conference report
to revision.

HOLY ROLLERS FA|TH.
MAY CAUSE DEATH.
Divine Power Fails to. Ward
Off Poison of Ser
pent's Bite

Gadsden, September 30.-tSpecial.)
To prove his faith In God. the Rev Mr..
Halsop. a holy roller preacher at Boaz
Sunday told his congregation that he
had divine power. could heal the sick
and was willing to be put to the test.
Halsop said that the bite of a serpent
would not hurt him. Yesterday two
young men found a rattler's pilot and
brought 1t to Boaz in bag. Hearing
of the preachers challenge. they
brought the reptile to him. He col
lected large crowd, which. listening
to his address, was horrified to see him
plunge his arm into the bag and draw
1t forth with the snake. The serpent
struck at the wrist and arm five times.
The preacher refused the services Of A
physician, and although his life Is de-
SPARED of, he still contends that he will
survive. The Rev. Mr.. Miller who as
sists Halsop in the meetings, attempted
in vain to heal the wounds.
