STATES KEEP RIVER CONTROL.
Representative Treadway Prevails on
Administration Leaders.

Washington, April ll.--Congfessman
Treadway has prevailed upon admins
tration leaders to eliminate from the
rivers and harbors bill the provision that
the secretary of war be given control of
all navigable rivers in the United States.
Individual states always have had con
troll OF these waterways, but because of
war conditions the House committee in
serted provision that the control pass
into the hands of the secretary.
The section would have given Mr.. Bak
er authority to prohibit the turning Of
waste of all kinds into the rivers. Mr.
Treadway pointed out to the leaders that
the section would be hard blow to
mills and factories near rivers and said
that he would offer an amendment in the
House, unless the committee changed the
section.
He said many Massachusetts concerns,
especially those having plants on the
banks of the Merrimac and Connecticut
rivers, would be affected. The leaders
agreed at conference Monday to sub
stitute for the section provision calling
for an investigation of the subject.

TO DEVELOP FISHING.
American Canadian Conference Shows
That Great Need.

The American. Canadian fisheries con
| ference will hold hearings in Seattle be
| ginning April "a, after which hearings
will be held in Vancouver and Prince Ru-
pert, d. G., Ketchikan, Alaska, and at
other places in the Northwest which the
conference may deem advisable. 1t has
already held sessions in Washington,
| Boston. Gloucester and st. Johns, New
| Brunswick. At, these hearings several
subjects came with special prominence
before the conference. Chief among these
were the limitations now imposed upon
American fishing vessels in Canadian
ports and the restrictions which Ameri-
can law placed upon Canadian vessels in
our own ports. OF less general import
ance. but still having weight with the
states of Vermont and New York. were
certain existing conditions in Lake Cham
plain.
The hearings developed the fact that
large increase in the production of fish
for the food supply of this country was
both necessary and practicable, aud that
wisdom would provide for removing, az
far as might be possible, the difficulties
that hampered the development OF the
largest possible production. Following
the hearings mentioned above, the Cana
dian authorities took q courteous intia-
tive in removing, by regulation, the en-
barrassing conditions on Lake Cham.
plain. Shortly thereafter. with the pres
dents approval, Secretary Redfield il
sued, on Feb. ?, 1918, to the collectors
OF customs the following order;
To promote the vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war and to make the ut
most use jointly of all the resources
of the nations now cooperating, you
will permit. during the war, Cana
dian fishing vessels and those Of
other nations now acting with the
United States to enter from and
clear for the high seas and the fish
cries, disposing of their catch and TAX
ing on supplies. stores, etc, under
supervision, as in the case of mer-
chant vessels entering and clearing
for foreign ports, except as to ton.
mage tax and other charges specii
cally imposed on entry from and
clearance for foreign ports.
The effect of this order was to permit
canadian fishing vessels and those Of
'ther nations acting with the United
States in the war to proceed direct with
heir cargoes of fish from the fishing
grounds to our ports and also direct on
he outward trip from the ports to the
ishing banks This action was in due
curse made known to the Canadian au-
horities
