ON DECORATION DAY CRUISE.
Number of Pleasure Craft Already
on Way Down Potomac,

While a number of pleasure craft left
here last night for over Decoration
day trips to the lower river resorts,
and others will sail today with pleas
ureseekers aboard, the large majority
of the boats will not leave until Mon
day night. Practically every pleasure
craft. large and small, that is in con-
dition for a trip down the river will
be out with parties numbering from
two to a dozen aboard for a trip on
Decoration day. The larger boats will
go the Colonial Beach. Coltons, St
Georges Island and other points in the
lower river. while the smaller craft
will seek spots nearer home to lay
for the day while those aboard fish,
swim and amuse themselves.
AS the nights are still rather cool
and many of the launches are without
means of being heated. most of the
pleasure fleet will be back in their
berths Tuesday night At all the boat
yards pleasure craft owners are hard
at work putting the finishing touches
on their boats, and it Is safe to say
that by tomorrow noon nine-tenths of
the large fleet of pleasure craft owned
here will be ready for their Initial
cruise of the season.

BALTIMORE. May 27.-Marylands
first conservation commission will be-
gin work next week. when the three
members-W. Thomas Kemp, William
H. Killian and Charles White-will
meet and outline plans for fisheries and
game protection. The most important
question to be handled will be that re-
garding oysters, one of the states big
industries. The first step to be taken
by the commission will be to encour-
age oyster planting. II oysters can be
produced on barren bottoms every eff
fort will be made to make it profitable
for the planters. and it is planned to fix
a lower rental than has heretofore been
power to fix the rental as low as 25
cents an acre. The Gull law. which has
been more or less of a dead letter, VIII
be enforced rigidly everywhere.
A new feature of the law relates to
crabs, and, while it is not all that the
commission desires, owing to opposi-
ton from some of the counties, there
Is good law for Somerset county.
which produces more than one-half of
the crabs in the state. This relates to
size, while the other counties have only
a licensing law, and without regard to
size. The oyster navy will be used in
enforcing the crab law, as 1t SO hap
pens that in the months when there is
nothing doing in the oyster industry
the crab business is at its height.

in Time.
Special Correspondence of The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md. May 81
A case that is attracting statewide
interest, on account of the fact that
prominent officials are concerned, is
the injunction proceedings filed by
Willis Johnston, John r. White and
Ebert 7. Johnson, citizens and tax
payers of Bowie, Prince Georges coun-
ty. against William Luers. r. P. Watts
and Thomas P. Littlepage, who were
named in the charter incorporating the
town of Bowie passed by the recent
session of the legislature to act as
commissioners of Bowie until June,
1917 The compliments are attempt
ing to prevent the commissioners from
holding an election in Bowie on the
second Monday in June, and the main
ground for the injunction is the allie
cation that Gov. Harrington failed to
sign the bill Incorporating Bowie
within six days after the adjournment
of the legislature.

AUTOISTs ARE CAUTIONED.
License Tags Must Be Clean if You
Run in Baltimore.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 27.-Motorists
from Washington into Maryland should
be careful to keep the license tags on
their cars clean. as the automobile and
police authorities are waging a cru
SADIE against owners of cars whose tags
are not clean enough to be read at a
reasonable distance. The police de-
partment has issued the following
statement regarding the crusade:
The automobilist who deliberately
obscures his sign number must do 1t
for an unlawful reason. If an accident
occurs or there is any reason for the
police to trace an automobile or motor
cycle their work is hampered. 1t is to
be hoped that the police magistrates
will impose heavy penalties upon those
who violate the law"
The first violator of the law was ar
rested this week, convicted of having
his tag obscured by dust and grease,
and fined $50 and costs.

progress of science at any time make
the prosecution of further researches
in regard to epilepsy unnecessary, then

determine in the prosecution of other
researches into the cause, prevention
and cure of other diseases which may
then require scientific study, as does
epilepsy now"
