that the pungy- L. c. Spencer. the bug

Several vessels are reported in trouble

CHARGE GRAFT TO AGENTS
Labor Union Business Representa-

tractors, Is Accusation.

CHICAGO. July 4.-Evidence of extor-
ton by business agents Of labor unions
of large sums of money from manufac-
turers outside Of Chicago and from local
contractors will be presented to a special
federal grand Jury July 13. Albert B.
Hopkins, assistant district attorney, an
nounced today.
The government prosecutor said he
would show these agents have mulcted
employers by threatening strikes, by re-
fusing to deliver products and by other
demands.
The evidence which Mr. Hopkins has
collected in the last ten days shows that
union members did not participate in the
money which was collected, and that
strikes were called TO suit the whims
of a business agent. Members of the
unions were seldom consulted. Members
of unions have urged that action be TAX
en- against these agents.
The investigation was started by
charges made by John j. Mclaughlin
contractor and state representative, but
the government has found stronger cases.
G. S. Kittoe of Canton. Ohio, and George
Bright of Detroit have presented evil
dence which the district attorney con-
sidered sufficient for a thorough investi-
cation.

BOARD MAKES SURVEY
Of OYSTER BOTTOMS
Areas Examined by Experts to De.
termine Producing
Possibilities.

Under the Shepherd law, the new oys-
ter law of Maryland. providing for the
leasing of barren bottoms in oyser-pro-
duclng waters of the state to planters
the Maryland shellfish commission is
employed in making survey of the
western shore of Chesapeake bay TO de-
eide the condition of the bottoms The
Maryland oyster police steamer Governor
McLane and the oyster dredging
schooner John Martin, Capt. James A.
Turner, are employed.
While the original act of 1905 provided
for a survey of the natural oyster bars
which was made after five years of te-
dious work, it did not define what is a
natural oyster bar. The fight at the last
session of the Maryland legislature was
based on the fact that the definition of
the commission of a natural oyster bar
was too broad and caused the leaving
out of a large areas Of bars to which
the oystermen resort for livelihood.
Divided Into Sections.
The areas now being examined are
subdivided in sections of from so to $50
acres. These sections are charted and
then marked OFF with temporary flag
buoys and when section lies adjacent
to the charted oyster bar the large state
buoys are established as after the origi-
nal survey This work calls Eor ak

steamer is manipulated they keep the

ously aboard the dredge boat and with

Results Are Unexpected.
Up to the present time about 1000
acres have been re-examined and more
oysters have been found than were an
ticipated When the survey Of the west
ern shore of the bay was made In 1908
the area was found to be in bad condi-
ton. From the report Of the big catch
of spat last summer, 1t appears as though
this section has caught up considerably:
At a later date the commission Will act
on the classification Of these bay
bottoms.
Several years ago the state of Virginia
adopted a law that allowed the leasing
of barren beds to planters. AS con-
sequence many thousand acres of oyster
producing bottoms which had been
stripped bare were leased and are now
producing fine oysters. many of which
are brought to this market Under this
plan the oyster industry has been bene-
fited, 1t is declared, and the state is
deriving a good revenue from the leased
bottoms.

HOPE FOR AGREEMENT
ON THE DISTRICT BILL
Conferees Likely to Settle Dispute
Over Items Within Pres
ent Week.

The Senate and House conferees on the
District appropriation bill will make an
attempt during the present week to reach
an agreement on the three items in that
bill still in dispute. The resolution adopt
ed by Congress continuing the old ap-
preparations for the District makes pro-
vision only until July 10. If no agreement
is reached by that time, it will be nee
essary to adopt another continuing reso-
luton.
OF the three items remaining to be set
tied that which is causing most trouble,
it is said, is an appropriation to pay
Thomas w. Keller. assistant doorkeeper
of the Senate, for property formerly
owned by him and condemned by the
government to change the parking and
building lines. The conferees originally
agreed to amend the original item for Mr..
Keller placed in the bill by the Senate,
so as to pay him $1,000 instead of 81. $50.
The Senate is standing firmly for this
1000 item.
Allege an Injustice.
Members of the Senate feel that an in
Justice has been done Mr.. Keller, and
that because he is an employee of the
Senate is no reason why his claim should
be throVn out. They point out that Mr..
Keller paid 5000 for the property. which
was condemned and taken from him by
the government. In addition to taking
his property without paying for it-some
/ 800 square feet-the authorities assess
ed him $3.50 for benefits which he was
compelled to pay.
In the case of the property adjoining
Mr.. keller's, upon which was erected a
small house valued at $1,000, the owner
was awarded nearly $1,000 damages. and
the government paid the money to him
for his property. Senators say that the
property taken from this other owner
was a corner lot and therefore somewhat
more valuable than that owned by Mr.
Keller. But they are at loss to under
stand why the government should take
away one mans property for which he
had paid, and then assess him for alleged
benefits, and on the other hand should
pay his neighbor a considerable price for
his property. They resent the attitude OF
some members of the House. who say
that the Senate is supporting Mr.. Kel-
ler's claim merely because he is an en-
ploye Of the Senate.
Items Probably Adjusted.
The other two items in dispute. the
eighth section Of the House bill which
would cover into the federal Treasury
all the revenues of the District in excess
of current appropriations. and the So
called Borland amendment relating to
the payment for paving the streets. will
be settled. it is understood. according to
the desires of the Senate without further
struggle. Both of these items are con-
sidered attacks upon the half-and-half
principle of appropriating for the Dis
trict provided in the organic act.
