DISAPPEARING
Despite Artificial Propagation Efforts
They Are Scarce in American
Waters.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.--S.:ad
and Holsters are disappearing rapidly
from American waters despite artif-
cial propagation efforts, according to
the annual report today of the United
States bureau of fisheries. Coopera-
ton and aid by state fishery authors
ties is suggested as a remedy for
threatened depletion.
Shad fishing in the Chesapeake bay
last year was the poorest known, said
the report Hatcheries maintained by
the bureau are inactive through inabil-
ity to obtain eggs, it added, and would
remain so unless shad were protected
on their way from the sea to the
spawning grounds.
The decline in the lobster industry,
the report declared, was viewed with
great uneasiness. More efficiency in
artificial propagation was urged as
necessary to arrest diminution

Paris. Dec. pa bill aiming at the
radical reform of the French judiciary
was presented in the chamber of depu-

The bill provides for the substitu-

assessors in grave or doubtful cases.
However, Judge would be entitled to
call in colleague in a purely advis-
DRY capacity the judge being alone
responsible for judgment.
1t is further proposed to adopt a
modified circuit system, the existing
$50 local courts being grouped around
lAs judicial centers whence judges
would be sent periodically. The COM

remain unchanged. In correctional
cases of exceptional gravity judge
might have the assistance of several
citizens, drawn by lot from jury lists,
in considering the penalty to be in
