Jurisdiction Questioned.

In his motion to dismiss Secretary
Lane declares the court lacks jurisdic-
ton because Congress has vested in
the discretion of the Secretary of the
Interior the approval or rejection of
leases made by the Indians. He points
out that leases can only be made with
the approval of the Secretary after be-
ing directed by the council. These
leases in question, he says, have been
passed by the council and executed by
the chief of the tribe. Secretary Lane
denies the charges of coercion.
Former Senator Charles A. Towne of
New York and Attorneys Fox & Fox
of the local bar, represent the plain
tiffs. Solicitor A. T. Vogelsang and
Attorney c. Edward Wright appear for
the Secretary.

Bureau of Fisheries Activities for
Benefit Both of Trade and

Much good has resulted. according TO
the commissioner of fisheries, from the
article published in last Thursday
edition of The Star showing that there
is no scarcity of Potomac shad. ana
that stories to the effect that the nsh
are not as plentiful as heretofore have
been circulated by fish dealers with
view of boosting prices. The article
was based on information received by
Commissioner of Fisheries Hugh NJ
Smith that shows that. instead of being
scarce Potomac shad are being caught
in greater numbers this spring than
has been the case for several years.
According to the commissioner. re-
tail prices charged at certain STANDS

No Delaware Shad Offered.

1T is interesting to observe that
dealers who two days ago were decry-
ing shad from the Potomac and Offer
ing Delaware river shad at fancy prices
were-selling Potomac shad yesterday
and today and saying nothing about
FISH from the Delaware
1T is also significant that the local
transportation companies have advised
that they have handled no shad from
Delaware river points. but. on the con-
trary, all of the express companies have
been making large shipments of
Potomac shad to Philadelphia. New
York and other northern seaboard
points Furthermore. the bureau of

vices from the Delaware river confirm
ing the statement of the local express
