important to Fishermen

Owners of abutting property on
lakes which have no inlet or outlet
have a common right TO fish and boat
in any portion of the lake, according
TO an opinion rendered last week by
Attorney General Fellows
They can go where they will on the
lake to fish, provided. of course. they
are not guilty OF trespassing on the
shore lands of another.
They can also pass their rights TO
fish to their friends and no one owner
Of land around a lake can stop him
or his properly admitted friends
In many respects the opinion is re-
garded as the most important interpre-
tation of the fish law promulgated
for years. For a long time the ques-
ton as to the rights Of one riparian
owner in a lake without an inlet or
outlet has been an issue all over the
state
Controversy among owners Of abut-
ting property and a question of the IT,
tie at Silver lake brought the question
into the Livingston courts.
Criminal suits were instituted and
the Livingston prosecuting attorney
asked for help from the attorney gem
eral.
The attorney general sums up his
opinion as follows:
Riparian proprietors all may use
that portion OF the bed of the lake
which they own in fee for any purpose
for which they see fit, but the rights
OF boating and fishing on the surface
OF such lake are common to ALL

PEOPLE LARGE JEWELRY
CUSTOMERS AS EVER.

New York, Aug 24.-The fact that
people are again buying jewelry was
cited by T. L. Combs, of Omaha,
Nebr., president of the American
National Retail Jewellers Association,
in the opening session of its conven-
ton here as evidence that good times
are returning.
"The Jewelry business is a good
barometer" said Mr.. Combs. People
are now buying and there seems to be
no tendency to hoard money. In the
ieweIry business the panicy war times
are no more.
Samuel Hershenstein assistant
United States district attorney an
nounced to the jewellers that an effort
will be made in congress to amend
the penal code so the time during
which a bankrupt is absent from the
jurisdiction of the state will not be
included in granting exemption under
the statute of limitations.

Cotton Cargoes
to Neutrals Not
Be Confiscated
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Washington, Aug. 24.-Cotton car
goes for neutral countries will not be
confscated under the recent decree
of the allies declaring cotton contra
band if within the normal consump-
ton of those countries. This as
surance was given cotton shippers to-
day in a statement issued from the
British embassy.
The statement reads:
cit is Misrepresentation to suppose
that the declaration of cotton to be
contraband will further restrict those
eonsignments of cotton to neutral
countries which are proved to be ex-
clusively destined for the normal con-
sumption of those countries. The en-
bassy has no authority, however, to
give any assurance as to the i'm
munity of particular shipments, but
under the procedure of international
law relating to absolute contraband
evidence of ultimate enemy destina-
ton viii be necessary to the condem-
nation Of cotton as a lawful prize"

GERMANY ASKS THE UNITED STATES TO WITHHOLD ALL ACTIO
Bills Contracted by the
City of Pensacola During
Month of July Still Unpaid
Among These is Bill for
Lighting Streets, Amount
ing to About $4,000.

That the city has not yet paid the
bills contracted during the month of
July and which total over $4,000 is
shown by the last report of the
comptroller. With $1,000 on hand
August 1, these bills had to be passed
over, for no money was on hand that
would permit warrants being issued
in payment therefore.
Furthermore the comptroller's re-
port reveals the fact that the street
lighting expense, aggregating about
$1,000 for the month of July, remains
unpaid. There is no notation in the
comptroller's report showing that the
Pensacola Electric Co., and the PEN
sacola Gas Co., were paid for service
during July.
This is the first time in long nun
Der of years that the city has been
unable to meet the monthly bills.
On Sept. the commissioners viii
have on their hands July bills amount
ing to $4,000, the August bills OF
approximately the same amount and
their half-month pay rolls, reaching
total Of over $4,000. To meet
this they had on hand on August i
the sum of $1,000.
