Will Prosecute Violators of Fish
ing Laws.

Dynamiting of fish in Hunting creek
and streams in the northern section
of Frederick county continues, ac-
cording to the reports that were made
at the meeting of the Frederick Couu-
ty Fish and Game association, which
was held in the Frederick Y. M. C. A.
Friday night The association, which
will probably be incorporated today,
has offered a reward of $40 to the per-
son giving information resulting in
the conviction of persons of dyna-
hitting fish of the county. The attor-
neys at law of the association, and
there are many, will attend each hear
ing before magistrates and will assist
the game warden, collect and submit
evidence against the alleged dynamit-
ers of fish. These attorneys were au-
thorized last night to appear for the
interest of the association.
The officers and various members Of
the association will go to Washing
ton soon in order to secure an appro-
priation of fish to stock the streams
of the county.
An invitation has been extended to
OdhiCo Oul ICY, OIdIS Sdll6 WdTQSH,
Baltimore, to come to Frederick and
have conference with the members
of the association with view of max
ing arrangements for the enforcement
of the fish and game laws of the
county. The date of the official visit
to this county will be announced
later.
The legislative committee was in
structed to submit a draft of the leg
islation which the association will
make an effort to send through the
Maryland Legislature at the coming
session, and submit it at the next
meeting Of the association in Octo-
ber. This will be one of the most
important meetings of the associa-
ton for some definite outline of the
legislation to be enacted will be made
then.
Arthur Levy, secretary of the as
sociation, has offered $40 in fishing
tackle to the member of the associ-
alton catching the largest bass during
this season. The fish must be weigh
ed at the store of Mr. Levy and the
person making the catch will prob
ably be required to substantiate his
statement by an affidavit before a no.
tary public.
The constitution and bylaws Of the
association were adopted last even
ing.

Addresses the Frederick County
Agricultural Association.

Frederick county farmers were on
Saturday afternoon called upon to
consider their sons and the graduates
from county agricultural schools and
courses in unique light when pro-
fessor Sidney S. Stabler, head of the
agricultural department of the Fred
erick boys high school in an address
on practical Education" treated the
farmer boy from the standpoint of
whether or not he was an economical
proposition to the farmer and to the
county. He spoke at the Y. M. c. A.
before the Frederick County Agri-
cultural association Consider that
the graduates from an agricultural
school has cost the county $780,"
said Professor Stabler, "At that time
what would his value be to his COM
munity? II he is not worth that
amount, the education of a boy is a
tossing business. On the other hand
If that boys influence, his leadship
and his training in practical scientific
farming is instrumental in bringing
about greater yield of crops his val
lie is more than the nominal sum
spent in his education and for that
ANeeSOAAi "oo q PAOnCSlDlC plO-
position to the county"
1t is doubtful if any one farmer
of the association had ever consider
ed treating his and his neighbor's
sons in the same light that he would
a cargo of wheat or herd of cattle
or teams of horses. The farmers
shifted about in their seats, looked
at each other and nodded their heads
in approval. They were interested
in considering their sons from
monetary standpoint. In the general
discussion that followed several of
the farmers declared that since their
sons had been taking the agricultural
courses they had learned new rink
les in farming that had results in
corresponding profit to them
The farmers smiled when they were
told that the members of the agricul-
tural department of the Boys high
school had organized a farmers as
sociation" in their department, that
was fashioned after the Frederick
County Farmers association There
was mutual understanding among
the farmers on Saturday afternoon
that they would assist and help this
association whenever and wherever
they could.

May Establish Cooperative Dairy

A cooperative dairy may be con-
structed in Frederick county through
the influence of the Frederick County
Farmers association, and the stock
holders to be the dairymen and farm
ers of the county. This scheme was
brought to light at the regular meet
ing of the association in the Y. M G.
A. on Saturday afternoon when it was
announced that two expert from the
dairy department of the United States
Department of Agriculture would
come to Frederick at the meeting in
July and confer with the members of
the association on the construction
of such plant.
Dairying in Frederick county, ac-
cording to the estimates of the Mary
land Agriculture College, is generally
speaking not a paying proposition.
The college experts declare that milk
in order to be profit to the farmer
must be sold for not less than 16
cents per gallon the year round. The
average price paid farmers of this
county for milk is about 13 cents or
fraction over.
1t is claimed that if the farmers of
this county united in the construction
of this pasteurizing plant that they
could demand a price that would put
the dairy business into the profitable
list if it is not there ncw Many mem
bers of the association seem to be
favorably impressed with the scheme.
No official action was taken on the
proposition on Saturday. All action
will be deferred until after the con-
ference with the experts from the de-
partment of agriculture.
1t was reported on Saturday that
milk purporting to come from tuber-
culine ested COWS but not from tested
animals is now being shipped from this
county. Several men declared that
they kntw of specific instances where
milk, tabled as coming from tested
herds, was in reality the product
from a non-tested herd. The assoc
iation took no action in regard to
this question, feeling that it was up
to the authorities of the District of
Columbia or other cities buying this
milk.
Officials from the Department of
agriculture will be invited to come
to Frederick county on Thursday,
July 49, when the annual picnic of
the association will be held ct Brad
dock Heights. Other speakers OF nat
ional Importance will be invited to
attend the picnic. The members of
the Middletown Farmers club will
cooperate with the association in ar
arranging for this picnic. Plans are
being made to make this picnic one
of the largest affairs ever fathered
by the association.

Merchants Violate Market Rules


Claiming that some Frederick mer-
chants grab up large quantities of
produce early on market morning be-
fore the housewife has an opportunity
to make her selection, many COM
plants of violation of the market reg
ulations have been filed with Mayor
Lewis r. Fraley. Some of the house
keepers declared that it was unfair to
the general public to permit such con-
ditions to exist and if they were to
continue it would be useless for the
housewife to attend market.
1t is reported the marketmaster, j.
Henry Schmidt, will enforce rigidly
all attractions of the law. The mayor
merely explained last evening that
there were ordinances providing that
no produce could either be purchased
or engaged on the market by mer-
chants until market was closed.
Some of the irate housewives claim
that they intend to have the matter
brought to the attention of the men,
bers of the board of aldermen unless
the practice is stopped. Some years
ago this practice became so common
that it was necessary for the alder
men to enact drastic ordinances to
give the housewife and general public
protection.

Thrown From Wagon and Killed

Thrown From Wagon and Killed
With fractured jaw, concussion of
the brain, bruised and cut about the
face almost beyond recognition, when
he was thrown from his wagon on the
Emmitsburg pike about six hours be-
fore, George Bruchey, about 60 years
of age and a farmer of near Chestnut
Grove, died last Friday evening at the
Frederick city hospital at about $50
o'clock without having regained con-
sciousness. Early last Friday after
noon his wife and two of his children
went to the hospital At no time dur
ing their visit was Bruchey conscious.
Bruchey was picked from the road
side early in the morning by Mr. Charles
Klipp and Solomon Stern. He was
found laying along the roadside in a
pool of blood, his face badly disfgur-
ed. Both of his ears were partly sew
cred from his head. Bruchey was TAX
en- to the hospital by Mr.. Klipp.
Last Friday morning Bruchey started
from Frederick in two-horse wagon
for a load of brick Between the pro-
perties of Charles Bell and James
Houck, it is supposed that he was
thrown from his wagon. The team
was stopped about half mile distant
Nothing definite concerning the true
story of the accident is known. 1t is
believed that the horses became fright
ened.

PEACH CROP TO BE LARGE

Fruit growers of Frederick county
predict that the peach yield this year
will be as heavy as usual, despite
the blight that is said to have caused
serious injury to the apple crop.
Apples and pears, it is believed by
some, will not be so plentiful. The
yield of cherries will also be COM
paratively small, it is believed, but
the outlook is said to be bright for
this fruit to be of the best quality.

AEEXANDER'S ARM IS
WORTH SMALL FORTUNE

sAl Orth, the umpiring person, seems
TO be unduly worried about Grover
Alexander, the pitching wonder of the
Pbillies.
"Alexander throws such a speedy
ball that eventually it will hurt his
arm says Orth. "No pitcher can last
very long If he puts all of his arm
powsr in a ball, the way that Alexander
does.''
However. Alexander seems to be
shooting Orth's argument to pieces
right now. Alexander busted into big
league baseball quite a few spells ago.
Ever since then he has been throwing
bullet ball. II such a delivery is to
hart, il would seem that Alexis wing
should have started backwards about
three years ago.
Y Instead of starting backward, how
eyer, Alexander arm seems better
and stronger this year than ever be-
fore. The speed of the Phillie phenom
never was so great as it is now and his
arm Is In such shape that he could
pitch every third day and not feel the
strain.

R|NCS|DE CRITICS Do
NOT FALL FOR COWLER

Despite the fact that Tom COwler
made brave stand against the season
ed Gunboat Smith in their recent bout
at NewYork, the general opinion of the
Rstic experts whereabouts is that Jim
COrbett s white hope will not do.
"LacAs even a smattering Of that
all important fighting essential
lass. - . marks the Sun.
q" Accent is on the Cow adds the
World.
Judging from the accounts of the
bout, COwIer took a dozen blows on the
chin that must have been felt by the
old folks back in England. He didn Z
vince, thus showing his gameness, but
fighter needs some other natural re-
quircments besides gameness, and pre-,
sumably GOwler hash I many of these
at his command.
1t looks as if COrbett over rated his
man Chances are the big heavy would
have made a much better showing a
gain"t some of the other leftover truck
drivers around New York.
CowIer is the 2l0-pounder who was
picked up in Portland by Corbett when
he was there a few months ago on his
vaudeville tour. Jecms took COwler to
Australia and Tom cleaned M three
second raters in fairly decisive fashion,
Australian critics said he looked
very promising. Possibly the New
Ycrkers would have given similar
boosts to the Englishman had COrbett
started him against something softer
than GunbOat.

TEAM IS COMING

Manager Pat Page and his Univers'
ity of Chicago baseball team are on
their way and with clear sailing should
arrive in Honolulu from San Francis
co in the steamer Mongolia next Tues
day morning.
For several weeks, Manager Page
has had the local baseball magnatcs
on the anxious seat regarding his
plans, but yesterday Senator Alfred l.,
Castle received a wireless from the
Chicago men stating that the team
would sail for the Orient via Homo
lulu.
Where the team will play, with
whom and how many games, has not
as yet been arranged for. Today, q,
L. Castle, Riley II. Allen and Others
will get together and fix up some sort
of a schedule for the Windy City ag
gregation.
There was some talk around base
ball headquarters last night of stag
ing the MarOons at Athletic Park, Sat
urday September 4, and Monday Sep
TENDER 9, in a double-header each day
This would necessitate sidetrackinl
the Meiii and International Leagn,
teams, something that does not strike
the fancy of the visiting japanese
team or the local boys. On the othel
hand, Moiliili Field is available fo'
baseball and it is possible the gamc'
will be staged there. At any rate thu
plans of those watching Chicago's in

MAVERICK OWNER

Transpaeifc shipping circles, in con

German submarine, said to be the U-40,
now operating in the North Sea.
Jebsen has led an adventurous career
from the time he first arrived on the
Pacific Coast from Hamburg and es-
tablished himself in the shipping bust
ness. He frequently has clashed with
the Mexican authorities on the lower
Coast, his latest trouble occurring when
the steamer Mazatlan, Of which he
was owner, was seized at Ensenada.
This was nine months ago and the yes
sci has never been released, although
Jebsen has at various times interested

cannot, we must take the mail to Hilo

"Our captains report that they do

about $50 feet long, has only eighteea

Some Other Objections
"Kihei would not be safe without a
pas buoy to indicate the location of
this shoal. Range lights, as suggested
by the harbor board, might be very wei
in fine weather; but, when there is rain
or fog, or dust from the mountain, the
range lights would not be enough for
the ships to go in by. Besides, the big
mass of Haleakala does not give land
marks. We would have to touch At
Kihci at night, it will be remembered.
"A gas buoy would remove objections
SO far as safety is concerned, but land
| ings at Kihei still would be open to
the objection that MeGregor is the
better place. When we cannot make
landings at Lahaina because of bad
weather, passengers for Lahaina are tn

unfair to T.ahaina passengers to force
them to go to Kihei to disembark.
'What we noped TOr was an exten'
sion to McGregor 5 to permit boats to
go to the landing without being ex'
posed to the backwash from the big

Jebsen is said to have succeeded tn
ehartering steamers and running sup

to inaugurate revolt against British
