LEASING OF OYSTER
BOTTOMS rs OPPOSED

A fight on the policy OF the COM
mission on fisheries in leasing bot
toms in Chesapeake bay for deep
water Oyster planting was aired be-
fore the house committee on Chesa-
peake river and its tributaries last
night, when q hearing was given on
a bill introduced by Delegate r. TT.
Stubs repeating the law under which
the leases were made.
Mr. r. w. Darling of Hampton,
explained to the committee that his
firm was the pioneer in this work,
which was really an experiment. and
they were working under the author-
ity or @. twenty-year lease granted by
the state. II successful, the work
would ultimately lead to development
of a large oyster industry in the wa
ters of the Chesapeake, similar to
that in Connecticut and Rhode Is
land. They had invested $4,000 in
the enterprise, were paving taxes on
10000 acres. which represented more
than the combined interests of tho
relatively few clammers and crab
bers who might be indirectly affect
ed. II this experiment works out sue
cessfully it will mean the develop
ment of An important and profitable
industry for the state.
Those favoring the repeal of the
leasing law were Captain John Gam
DIV end Captain r. w. Belts. of Tide
water; William BloXom, president of
the Oystermen g association: Rn<us
Miles. and l. r. Ballard, of Norfolk.

FORTY-NINE GERMANS
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED

Up to the closing hour for registra-
ton of German aliens at police head
quarters last night forty nine had ap-
pcared before Bertillon Operator
Toler and received thoir cards. This
made the number yesterday slightly
in advance OF that of the preceding
day, and totals more than half of the
estimated number of German enemies
in the city.
1t was estimated by the authorities
that the number would probably reach
sevcnty-five, but the large numbers
that have recently arrived due to the
order that expelled them fSom Wash
ington have augmented what amount
by several and the estimate may prove
short of the real number.
The registration will continue or
through February 3, and by that time,
at the present rate all living in this
city will have registered,
One of the men registered yester,
day was an officer on The kron Printz

termed In Norfolk before war was de-
Jared between the United States and
