THINK PHONE CALL
IN BAFF CASE CLUE
Police Trace Message Jersey
City Man Got on Day of
Murder.

NEW YORK Dec. A telephone
message being traced today by detec-
tives may aid in solving the murder
Of Barnet Baff which the police admit
is as far from being cleared up as
when committed eleven days ago. The
message is believed to have been sent
from Manhattan to ii man in Jersey
City and ultimately may prove as
important as certain telephone mes
sages did in the Rosenthal assassina-
ton.
Tho detectives have learned that
une man under suspicion has an alibl
prepared with scrupulous care, 1t
had been his custom TO leave the
railroad yards in Jersey City early in
the afternoon for the West Washing
ton Market. On the afternoon Of the
murder he remained in Jersey, saying
he had q business engagement. He
telephoned his family he would not be
home fer supper. He played pinochle
with friends and remained about the
freight yards until after o'clock, but
so far as amy one knows, had no
business engagement.
shortly after T o'clock ne received
Il telephone message. after which he
hurriedly left for Manhattan. This
was after the murder. IF the de-
tectives can ascertain whence came
the call, they may learn who sent 1t,
a nd why.
The police have not yer found any
trace OF a son of certain Brooklyn

Gay who formerly was associated
with the Chicken handlers union
and has not been seen since the night
Of the murder. They want TO ask

a coroner's witness as the result of
q shooting, which took place in the

The wounded man is Harry g.
Pldmmer. until about a year ago a
saloonlieeper at louisville. His wife
is said TO have fired the shot which
killed the unidentified man.
The shooting occurred at Plum
mer's home, when two men rang the
door bell and said: I'VE have mos
sal sc for you from Louisville Harry
Plummer opened the door and the
men opened fire. Plunmer fell to the
floor with two bullet wounds. His
wife. in her room upstairs, heard the
shooting, seized a revolver and fired
at one of the intruders The dead
man vas found by the police in the
rear yard.
, Plummer says he knew the men in
Louisville, but does not remember
their names. The police discredit his
story. The theory is that the shoot
ing is the result Of an infraction u
underworld rules and that the four
men came here to wreak vengeance.

Aid Sent TO People OF
Labrador Made Destitute
by Small Fish Hauls and War

ST. JOHNS, n. f.. Dec. 4.--Relief
for the destitute inhabitants of the
barren Labrador region has been un-
dertaken by the Newfoundland gov
eminent, and the steamer Kyle is
now ploughing her way through the
e-laden waters off the labrador
coast. The Kyle is carrying a cargo
of provisions to Sandwich bay, which
is about a hundred miles north of
Battle harbor. where DR.. Wilfrid T.
Grenfel maintains his mission sta
tion and hospital.
The Kyle was chartered by the gov
eminent after word had been re-
ceiyed from DR.. Granfell and others
of the serious conditions prevailing
in Labrador. Because the sea was
choked with ice as late as August 1.
with resultant low tempera lures on
land. the cod and other large fish
We're too torpid TO mesh in the nets
or take bait. the smaller fish held far
off shore, potato plants did not APP
pear above the ground. and the berry
crop was practically a failure. The
people had nothing to live on but
bread and tea. There was a month
of good fishing. then winter set in
a2aln.
With the outbreak of the war in
Europe the market for Labrador fish
was almost completely cut off and
there was a rise in the price of food
stuffs which made the cost Of -four,
sugar, meat and butter prohibitive
TO the impoverished fishermen.
The war also led TO the suspension
Of operations on the ALWAYS con-
st1uction in Newfoundland and the
closing Of mines at Sydney and Belle
Isle.

OYSTER INDUSTRY
NEEDS PROTECTION
Jerseys Output Can Be
Doubled in Five Years With
a Little Aid.
srecial % the Erening star.

TRENTON, Dec. 4.-Slowly but
surely the people Of New Jersey are
realizing that they have no inherent
right to dig CLANS or oysters Just as
the notion seizes them, and they have
lust about reached the state of mind
in which they appreciate that they
have to be governed by the laws OF
the State, according to the annual
report of the State Bureau of Shell
! Fisheries, just made to Governor
Fielder. Charles r. Bacon IS the
chief of the bureau, and he has been
at the head of the shellfish INDUSTRY
for the past twelve years In the
report he makes many important an
suggestions for the advance or the
industry.
Chief Bacon states that il has
always been the impression of citi-
ems living within reach OF the
oyster and clam-bearing areas that
thew can seize the products OF the
beds ut any time whatever. I'VE are
eratified," says Chief Bacon, to note
that we have at last reached tIle
point where the citizens Thoroughly
understand that this industry Is the
propertv of the State. which means
all the people. and that it is tneum-
bent upon the State, through It's rep
resentatives in the Legislature. 10
pass adequate laws for its eonsefVa-
ton and extension.
1.-THE past season has seen a gen
ersl Improvement in the Sheililsh IN
dustry of the State along all INES
according to the report. Reports
rom the shipping centres show that
rho wear has been most excellent for
the rapid growth of oysters and that
the stimulated demand in the mar
kets has displayed such marked IN
crease that all shippers are grained
to note the general advance IN busl-
ness over the previous year.
The report rather sharply criticlses
the recommendation of the Economy
and Efficiency Commission of last
wear that a new board of seven eom-
n1issIoners. without salary, be
named. and that q chief commission
be appointed at a salary of $2,oO0-
The report continued that 1t would De
utter folly to attempt TO attain
man of that character and capacity
with the scientific knowledge neces-
sary. ct such a ridiculous salary.
"There is Il constantly growing de-
mand for New Jersey oysters tne
report saws. There is an unceasins
and growing demand for our CLANS;
Prices for the former have remained
substantially stationary for a dozen
years or more, while the price OF
clans has risen gradually, until the
increase has amounted to about ttty
per cent. in the same period. There
are practically no laws governing
the taking of CLAIMS, and such re-
strictions as are contained in the
laws are difficult of enforcement. We
must approach this subject unhesi-
tatingly. and enact laws which
will give more adequate protection
for this species of shellfish and |
greatly extend the output
