WANT EASIER LAW
FOR NEW JERSEY
NET FISHERMEN

PENNSVILLE. N. j., Dec. 2S.--As
a result OF the agitation for a revi-
sion Of FISH and game laws started by
market fishermen and gunners of this
region, the members OF the State fish
and game commission will make a spe-
cial trip into Salem county today to
make a broad investigation OF the
complaints. The sportsmen and fisher
men will be given a hearing before
the commission in the court house at
Salem tonight at o'clock.
Representatives of the fishermen's
association which has been backing
the movement for laws more beneficial
to the net fishermen Of the lower Della
ware river. will present the petitions
OF the fishermen to the commission.
Their especial plea is that they be
permitted to catch rockfish, perch and
weakhsh in nets Of three-inch mesh.
They also want all closed seasons for
hook-and-line fishing IN tidal water
abolished
Net fishermen who have each year
been making big profits from carp
fishing will endeavor to have the out
law carp protected and will seek to
have a limit placed on the size of
the fish that can be caught, so as to
leave the biggest ones for breeders.
The carp have yielded some of the
crews profits of S1,00 a season and
higher, and they say that there is
more money in carp than in surgeons
which have become scarce.
AS for sportsmen, they will ask tc
have the season for wild water fowl
such as ducks. etc, made a month
longer They object to the cutting OF
OF the reedbird season by the new
federal protective law.

SAILOR HAD FEATHER
IN HIS APPENDIX

A man described by the Journal
Of the American Medical Association
o. Chicago. in its issue yesterday as
-. r. r." sailor on the United
States battleship California, swal-
lowed a feather and he escaped death
by a small margin. The navy sur
geon describes the case in a treatise
on unusual combinations which pro-
duce appendicitis"
Some months ago the sailor ate a
piece OF chicken that gave him a pc
culiar sensation as II passed from
his mouth to his stomach. At the
time 1t occurred to him that he might
have swallowed a feather, because
whatever he ate tickled him so that
he couldn't resist laughing. The
tickling became more marked and fin
ally developed into acute pain.
The sailor underwent an operation
and inside the appendix was found
the feather.

WANTS COUNTY FARM EXPERT.

CENTREVILLE. Nd, Dec. 23.-Un-
der the direction of DR.. Augustus
Stabler, State agent for Maryland, pc
tltions are being circulated in Queen
Annes county requesting the delegates
IN the Legislature to introduce a bill
empowering the county commission
ers to appropriate $500 annually as
half of the maintenance Of an agricul-
tural expert. II is believed that this
will prove more satisfactory than hav-
ing the Department of Agriculture pay
half the expenses and raise the bal
ance by popular subscription. As
an increase Of farm productivity ben
efits the entire county, it is felt by
landowners and tenants that the cost
of agricultural instruction by an ex-
pert should be borne by the taxpay-
ers in a body.

Police Matron Mary White, who re-
tires from the police force on December
