Gen. Mackenzie's Record.
OYSTER SHELLS IN DEMAND.
Supply at Local Wharf insufficient
for Crushing Plant.

Having used up practically all the oys-
ter shells that accumulated at the oyster
wharf in the oyster season that has just
closed. the Bryant shell crushing plant
is getting supply of shells from the oys-
ter packing plants down river to be
crushed up for use in poultry yards.
Within the past week the schooners
Brooklyn and Minnie May Kirwan have
arrived at the plant. on the river a short
distance above Alexandra, and several
more vessels loaded with shells are ex-
pected there within the next week.
Before the establishment of the crush
ing plant at Alexandria,. the problem of
how to dispose Of the big piles of oyster
shells that accumulated each season
gave those in charge of the oyster wharf
something to thing about. Many vessel
loads were shipped down river to be dis
tributed over depleted oyster beds to re-
new their productiveness or were ship
.ped to various parts OF the country for
lime making or road building. Since the
crushing plant has been in operation the
shells are taken away from the wharf
about as fast as they accumulate. and
the big pile OF shells behind the fish
houses on the wharf. which was a fea-
ture there, is a thing of the past.

SILENT AS TO FINDINGS

tative Report on the SUI
frage Parade Inquiry.

Senator Jones of Washington. chairman
Of the subcommittee of the District
committee which has investigated the
charges made against the police de-
partment in connection with the
woman suffrage parade March 3, said
today that he had prepared a tentative
report. which he will submit to Senators
Pomerene and Dillingham;. the other mem
bers Of the subcommittee, for their con-
sideration.
He will leave Washington tonight to
go to st. Louis and will not return
until Friday. He expects to call
his committee together as soon there
after as possible to complete a final re-
port for submission to the Senate.
Senator Jones said that he could not to-
day indicate what the findings of the
committee would be. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the police department will be
criticised, though the extenuating cfrcum-
stances brought out during the hearing
by the policemen will go far toward soft
ening the report.
