KILLIAN is OFF TO
INSPECT OYSTER BEDS

William H. Killian, secretary of the
Maryland State Conservation Commits
sion, left Baltimore yesterday for an
inspection trip of the oyster beds of
the Bay.
The question of establishing two
new fish hatcheries, to ODE located
on the Eastern Shore, has been reviv-
ed and Mr.. Killian will inspect several
places which have been suggested as
desirable sites.
The cultivation of fish by the con-
servation commission at the hatch
cries has proved that fish culture can
be carried on with gratifying results,
as has been demonstrated at the hatch
cries now located in Frederick county.
The production of fish on a large scale
is what the commission desires to do,
thereby not only replenishing the wa
ters of the State with marketable fish,
but increasing the food supply.

MIDNIGHT PROWLERS
IN WESTERN SECTION
Many Homes Visited Nightly by Some
Unknown Intruder. st. Bernard
Frightens Him Away

For several nights, indeed almost
nightly the past week, homes in the
vicinity of Jefferson. Hill and other
streets in the Western section of the
city, have been visited by midnight
providers.
Last night the visit was to the home
of Mr.. A. B. Chambers. on Jefferson
street, whose family was alarmed ana
considerably frightened. The night
before the home of Mr.. Malcolm De
Conway was the scene of the intru-
sion and the prowler deliberately
flashed light into the window of a
lower room.
Some days ago, as noted in these
columns, an attempt was made to en-
ter the home of Mrs. Roland Meade on
Hill street, and the family was con-
siderably frightened by the would-be
burglar, but an outcry was made and
ne was scared off.
The families who have been victims
of the midnight marauder, nearly ev-
cry night the past week, owe the good
fortune of no actual intrucion to St.
Bernard dog, owned by Mr.. Paxton in
,he neighborhood. Thet dog barked
furiously, frightened the prowler, and
1T the same time awakened the resi-
dents of homes he was apparently
about to burglarize.

tion have been sent a letter by Dr.
B. Holly Smith. president of the or
ganization, urging all of them to take
out Statewide licenses, costing $5

from licenses in Maryland would
amount to $4,000 or $4,000 should
be met by the members of our Asso-

VALUABLE EYEGLASSES
RECOVERED NEAR HERE

After having reposed placidly on
the bottom of the bay off Thomas
Point near this city for some months a
valuable pair of eyeglasses lost by
President John II. Robinette, of the
Baltimore Commission for Opening
Streets, fifteen months ago, were re-
turned to their owner yesterday. They
were found by oyster tongers, and
were intact, save for one of the side
frames, which had rusted off. Young
oysters were clinging fast to the nose
piece.
The glasses are valuable. because
the lenses were difficult to duplicate
during war times. Fishermen and
others tried in vain to recover the
glasses at the time they were lost and
President Robinette, being unable to
get along without them, was forced to
employ pilot to guide his yacht to

but few hours, the sum of $52.25 is
considered very good. This is the
amount realized at the crab supper

one.
