CHANGE OF THE maine LOBSTER
Law WILL Be STRONGLY OPPOSED

The strong opposition will be evident
at the Maine Legislature when the meas
ure to change the present Maine lobster
law is introduced is evident from the
talk being circulated all along the Maine
coast. Several of the largest dealers and
many fishermen favor changing the
Maine LAY, to laws similar to those OF
Massachusetts or to have a uniform law
in order that Holsters taken from Maine
waters will be legal in this State as we'll
as foreign states.
Commissioner of Sea and Shore Fish
cries Henry D. S. Woodbury. is in favor
of retaining the present laws. He says:
1.-THE next lobster question before our
legislative body at Augusta will be this
Shall we shorten the length of our Maine
lobster or shall We shorten their lives?
And this is a very grave and important
question. My own judgment brought
about through 50 years of experience is
this: To shorten the length of our
Maine lobster simply means to shorten
their lives. To let the length of our
lobster remain as it now is declared by
State law to be means to lengthen his

SUBMARINE Ii
IS LARGEST IN
THE j. s. navy

Quincy, Mass, Jan. 20-The sub
marine LII, to be launched at the
yards of the Fore River Shipbuilding
corporation today, is the largest sub
marine thus far built for the United
States navy. She is one of seven yes
sells Of the same type which have beer
authorized. The LII registers $50 tons
and measures 165 feet over all. If con-
tract stipulations are fulfilled, she wiz
develop a speed Of IA knots on the
surface and ten knots submerged.
Mrs. Elizabeth Scott Daubin, wife
OF Lieutenant Freeland A. Daubin, who
is to be the first commander of the
LII, was chosen to christen the yes
sci. The submarine will be put

life. Which shall We do? Much is said
about uniform law between the states
where Holsters are caught, and this, we
will all agree. would be right. But where
shall we begin this uniform length of
our lobster? Massachusetts, Rhode ISL
and, Connecticut and New York now
have a nine-inch law; theirs is uniform
already. What has been the result?
Why. simply this: They are largely de-
pendent upon Maine for their Holsters.
Why? Because they have reduced the
size OF their lobster to such a length
and with lack of enforcement that they
have practically destroyed their lobster
industry. OF the weight of a hundred
Holsters of their length and the weight
of hundred Maine Holsters of our
length, the Maine Holsters will have the
advantage of 40 pounds. Maine has land
ed over 100000 in 1914 while Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
New York combined have not produced
one-half as many This being the case.
where comes the uniform law? Shall we,
with these states experience, adopt their
law, or shall they with our experience
adopt our law?"

INDIGNANT over
STORY HILLmAN
LEFT HIS HOME

Houlton, Me-, Jan. 20-Friends nf
Harold c. Hillman, the missing Island
Falls deputy, are indignant over the
reports circulated to the effect that
he had left his home and family,
which has been current about the
county for several days.
Friends all agree that his character
was above reproach, that he thought
a lot of his wife and children and
would never have left them especially
at that time of year with the long,
cold winter months coming on.
Sheriff Elmer G. Bryson also is IN
dignant over the nany rumors afloat,
and he says: ANY one who knows
Harold Hillman would know that ne
was not the kind Of man to leave mis-
family in any such a way
Many letters have been received from
clairvoyants and spiritualists and many
suggestions have been followed out
with the hope that something might
lead to the finding Of the body, but all
have failed SO far.

The people of the little town Of Island
Falls, are talking over the coincidence
in regard to the finding of the latest clew
which was the imprint on the snow,
found by Deputy Bates and some of the
citizens of the town Sunday, which
looked as if the body of Deputy Hillman
had been buried in the snow at this place.
The location is about three miles out
of the town of Island Falls. on the
lioultcn road. and the place has been
known for years as Dead Mans Hollow
and the queer part is that at this place
a dead man was found about 20 years
and that Hillman's body should have
been laid at nearly the same place
seems uncanny to many.
This murder was never solved. The
man was working on the B. & A. r. r.
when it was being built and his home
was in the Province. He was killed
for his money. his watch being found
hanging to a limb of a tree where it
was evidently overlooked in some way.
IT was claimed that the mans name was
Johnson.

Chicago, Jan. 20-The powers that
control organized baseball or at least
are said to control it, were described
as oppressors Of minor leagues and
ball players, by Keen Arlington,
chief Of counsel for the Federal League
in his opening address today in the
antitrust suit against the National
Commission, the American League
and the National League. Addington
cited features Of the National agree
ment. decisions Of the National Com
mission and general practices Of base
ball authorities to show that the
game is governed by a group having
absolute power, with authority to
make laws, to judge Of infractions Of
the laws and impose penalties for in
fractions.
Arlington had not finished his
opening argument when court ad-
jcurned tonight and it was declared
the case probably would last we'll into
next week. The first session attracted
a large number Of baseball followers
and though the arguments had no
thrills for them, they were recompens-
ed partly by close views Of celebrat-
ed members. Mr.. Arlington devoted a
large proportion of his address to an
attrack on the waiver and draft rules
and practices. Arlington charged that
