.BULLER RUSHES
HATCHERY WORK
Commissioner of Fisheries
Getting Young Fish Out
Into Streams Rapidly

State Commissioner of Fisheries
Butler said to-day in discussing work
OF his department this fall:
The Department of Fisheries has
every available man at it's six hatch
cries busily engaged in the distribu-
tion of fish for the purpose of stock
ing the streams. The fish which are
oeing sent out are yearlings, and
consist of Brook Trout, Brown Trout,
Black Bass, Blue Gills, Yellow Perch,
Cat Fish and Frogs.
The distribution of these fish will
continue as long as the weather con-
ditions permit, and the numbers will
run into the millions. The depart
ment has been greatly handicapped
in some of its work on account of Il
number of its trained men having
been called for service.
Extensive improvements are be-
ing carried on at Pleasant Mount
where a large number of permanent
concrete rearing pools have been
added to the plant besides other
work. At this plant it will take sew
eral years before the plans as for
mulated can be fully carried out.
The department has also decided
to make extensive improvements at
its Union City Hatchery. Plans are
now being drawn for the erection OF
new Matching house to be equipped
with electrical power and pumps, and
all the latest improvements known.
Much work has also been done al
Bellefonte. A new Matching build
| ing has been constructed and equip
ped with electric lights, and a NUNS
Der of additional concrete rearing
pools have been erected. The dwell
ing of the superintendent of this
hatchery has also been improved.
| AT Cory much work has been
done to beautify the grounds, and q
number of new rearing pools have
ben added. The department con-
siders the Cory Trout Hatchery q
most beautiful and up-to-date plant
| This hatchery attire cts many thou
sands of visitors yearly.
AT Erie the department has in
creased the capacity of the hatchery
100 jars, and also has under con-
sideration the construction of a
dwelling place for the superintend-
ent. The department is bending
every effort to keep up the supply
of fish in Lake Erie, as 1t is a very
valuable and important food supply.
! The Fresh Water Fish Producers AS
ISOLATION reports that while the catch
was not so large early in the sea-
son the enormous catch later was
much better than it has been for
years. They also report that their
freezers are full of "A No. l. stock
The embargo placed some time ago
by the Express Company on the ship
nient of fish has handicapped them
in reaching interior ports, the de-
partment understands, however, that
this embargo has been lifted.
Commissioner Butler expects to go
TO Toronto and Ottowa to arrange
for the collection of white fish eggs
this fall.

state Capitol.
"These figures were taken from
statements of the institutions re-
porting under the calls of March %

 '"The community, as it is al present cannot defend Russia.

GlJNMAN BOUND OVER
 DESPITE WIPES PLEA
Mrs Fabrizzio Objects to Testifying Against Illus
 band Who Shot Her.

Charged with assault with Intent to kill his wife, Giovanni Fabrizzio of 86 Pleasant street was bound over to the December term of the superior court this morning by Judge James T. Meskill. Bonds were fixed at s2,ooo.
 The assault took place on the morning of October 16 when Mrs. Florence Fabrizzio was shot five times following a family quarrel in which the husband alleged that his wife had been unfaithful. Attorney Conti of Hartford appeared for FabrizZio.
 Officer Richardson was first called to the stand by the state. He testi- fled that about 8:30 o'clock on the morning of the 18th he was called to the Fabrizzio home and found Mrs. Fabrizzio on the kitchen floor bleed- ing. The woman told him that her husband had shot her. She was then taken to the hospital.
 Mrs. Fabrizzio next took the stand and said 1T don't want the case tried and don't want to appear against my husband" When told that she must testify she proceeded as follows: During the night we quarreled and he called me lot Of names. In the morning he got up and said he did not want to go to work. I told him I wasn't going to live with him and he tried to hit me with chair but the boarding boss took the chair away from him. He was around smoking g for a while and then went out. He came back after a short time with some candy for the children. I then went into the pantry to get some salt 1 to do some cooking with and when came out into the kitchen he shot me. I fell to the floor and he fired three shots at me while I lay. on the floor. I was shot in the head, mouth, shoul- der and back.'
 She added that six shots in all were 1 fired but only five of these took effect. 1 Attorney Cont, for the defense, brought out the fact that Mrs. Fab rizzio went to Rochester some time ago with a man called "Joe" and 1 lived there with him. Her husband
 went after her. The attorney for the 1 defense asked that the bonds be fixed as low as possible in order to give the
 defendant and him a chance to be able to interview several witnesses be- fore the next court session.

PERSECUTED NATIONS
The League of Small and Subject Ma
 tionalities Opens a Three-Day Con- ference in New York City Today.

New York, Oct. 29.-The League of Small and Subject Nationalities, con- sisting of representatives of a score or more persecuted and pillaged provinces and dependencies, opened a three-day conference here today with the object of esta blishing a permanent congress and to assert their right to a separate representation at interna- tional peace conferences after the war.
 Interest in the meeting was height ened by an attack on the object of the league, made last night by commit tee, consisting of eight representatives of Arabic, Armenian, Greek and Slavic interests, on the ground that it ''can serve no purpose but that of the Ger man government" The objectors, in an open letter to the press said:
 We make no wholesale accusa- tions against the personnel of the gathering or the speakers at the con- ference. It was, apparently, origin ally initiated by honest but naive and easily deluded persons, and several prominent Americans have consented to speak. A few genuine representa- tives of oppressed nationalities, in no way tainted with pro-Germanism, gave the organization their tenn porary support.
 Frederick c. Howe, commissioner of immigration, president of the league, will open it with a talk on '"rhe Principles and Purposes of the Congress- William I. Hull, pro lessor of history at Swarthmore col lege, will speak on. Small Nations. ;"
