CONSIDER FOOD
FISH PROBLEM
Government Expert Meets
State Officials in Rich
mond.
PROBLEM PRESENTED.
Chairman Lee Would Not Agree to
Anything Calculated TO Cripple the
Industry.
Industry.

Richmond. Va, July 23.-Dr E. Les
ter Jones, United States deputy fish
commissioner, Chairman W. McDon-
aid Lee, Of the Virginia State Fish
cries Commission, and Governor VIM.
Hodges Mann held an interesting con-
ference in the executive office yester-
gay relative to the matter of the con-
seryation of food fish, particularly the
shad and herring. a subject which Is
now being agitated by the United
States bureau of fisheries and IS also
receiving the attention of congress in
the shape of a bill recently introduc-
ed y; Congressman Linthicum, OF
Maryland.
Views were freely exchanged at the
conference as to the best methods OF
arriving at the desired end, and the
question of the various kinds of nets
arl fishing methods entered largely
into the discussion. Chairman Lee
briefly reviewed the State laws,
which are regarded as the most ad-
vanced or the Atlantic Coast, and sat-
is1icd the conferees that they are be-
ing enforced, but it was agreed that
there is 4 mead of even better regu-
lation in the present crisis, which is
admittedly grave, if it can be brought
about without crippling any indus
try upon which ten thousand people
in Virginia alone, are dependent for
a livelihood. Chairman Lee was hrm
in the stand that he would not agree
to any regulation based on the theory
which might have that effect, and DR..
Jones, who is native Virginian and
a practical scientist, showed dlspo-
sition to agree with him.
The object is to find a way to bet
ter protect the shad and herring par
ticularIy, without crippling the in
dustrv. and the situation, which pre-
sents a complex problem, will be
thoroughly threshed out at the con-
ference to he held shortly in WASH
ington. at which representatives from
Virginia. Maryland and North Caro-
lima. will be present. DR.. Jones, at
the conclusion of the two-hour confer
ence yesterday, invited Governor
Mann to appoint representatives
from Virginia to attend the confer
cnce, and also urged the Governor to
be present himself. The Governor
promised to name delegates to rep
resent the state and also to attend
himself is his duties permit. Cover
nor Goldsboroueh. of Maryland. is ex-
pected to be present. The conference
has been arranged by Secretary OF
CoYmqrce Rcdfeld. am! the date will

organizing the Alexandria Fairfax
Savings Bank vii! probably be con-
cIuded by next Saturday, when an
other meeting of the promoters and
,othcrs interested will be held in
Washington for the purpose of MAX
ing final arrangements.
It is probable that officers and 4
board of directors will be elected at
this meeting and subscription books
opened soon after simultaneously at a
number of places in this city, Alexa1-
dria aad Fairfax county.
When interviewed this morning by
representatives of the press, Capt.
F. l.. SIaymaker, chairman of the
committee of those interested in the
Organization of the proposed new
Alexandria Fairfax Savings Bank re-
tportcd very favorable interest by
i-Alexandrians and people in the coun-
Ety in the project, and quite large
block of the stock already applied for
in advance of the actual opening of
the subscriptions.
! No confirmation can be found for
ithe rumor circulated in the last few
days of second bank with capital
of s5OO.00O, in which the report stated
Philadelphia capitalists were interest
! ed, and it is believed that this is
merely rumor growing out of ano

FIRST FAMILIES
ARE CHAR TERED

State.
ANCESTRAL T R E E S.
Organization Will be Known as "The

ginia."
ginia." !"

Richmond, Va, July 23.-Descend-
ants Of the jamestown Indian fight
ers who have strayed from the ances-
trail halls are now pining for Virginia
hoecakes and bacon under the Wiscon-
sin sun. and desire some visual re-
minder of their proud lineage for
themselves an6 their children. The
State Corporation Commission yes
terday granted charter to the So
cial organization with the title of
''The Order of the First Families of
Virginia"
In order to comply with the legal
requirements, the F. F. VS. must
have a resident agent in Virginia,
and to Lyon G. Tyler, at Williams
burg,who delegated that honor. Will
liamsburg is not more than stones
throw from jamestown, SO that Po-
cahontas flavor will be still strongly
perceptible on the oder. The organi-
zation has no capital stock, and as
sets are represented by mutual family
trees of proud proportions. To be-
come an F. F. V. in something besides
name, one must now be able to show
conclusive proof that ones ancestors
killed mosquitoes and wormed tobacco
on jamestown Island at period
earlier in the history of Virginia
than in The year Of our Lord 1920. If
ones ancestors arrived about 1909, for
instance, there is no limit to the high
degree attainable in the Order of the
First Families of Virginia. If the
great forbear set foot on Virginia soil
in 1921, however, one can hope only
to become a second family of Vir-
ginia.
Among the incorporators are:Mrs.
NJ. G.Cook, Milwaukee, Wis; Mrs..W.
Roy. of Rochester, N. Y; Mrs. S. E.
G. Sperry, Anna May S. Bormie,
Owen Cartwright, Ida B. Wilson, Isaac
T. Woodson, Jr.; Eliza G. Martin,
and Martha Ely Bailey.
