CANNIBALS ARE
 TAUGHT LESSON
Australian Sailors Use Ma chine Guns on South
 African Tribe.

Melbourne, Mar. 1S.-(Correspon- dence of The Associated Press) The Australian naval vessel F'antome was sent to the New Hebrides islands re- gently to chastise a tribe of cannibals accused of having committed mur- ders. The man-eaters occupied the northern side of MaIekula, Island and were accused of the murder of q French cocoanut planter.
 As the New Hebrides are owned Jointly by France and Great Britain, the Australian warship was selected to punish the savages. The F'antome landed & punitive force Of 65 officers and men at Malua Bay where the party were joined by IS native guards.
 Having reached the outskirts of the village where the murderers were supposed to be hiding, the comman- der of the expedition sent an inter preter to barley with the villagers for the surrender of the men sus- pected of the murder.
 Groups of armed savages from the interior were hiding on the hill-sides overlooking the village and two of their chiefs shouted to the villa gers that if any Of them surrendered to the expedition the village would be fired upon. Seeing that these island tribesmen were making all the troub- Ie, the punitive party opened fire up on them with rnachine-guns and fol- lowed this with a charge by a detach- ment of the bluejackets, who took the ridge and drove the savages ost. This ended the affair, the expedition suffering no casualties.
 British and French residents de- clared the cannibals had been taught a severe lesson which would insure the future safety of the white resi- dents of Malekula.

THE FATHER OF
 FISH CULTURE

Fishermen the world over have good reason to celebrate today the ami versary of Seth Green the father of fish culture. The methods he initiat- ed; since greatly improved upon, have resulted in an incalculab1e increase in the propa gation of the finny tribe. Fishing, both as a sport and as an in- dustry, owes much to this pioneer pisciculturalist, whose long life was devoted almost exclusively to conserv- ing and improving the fish supply.
 Green was born at Irondequoit, N. Y, just 1o2 years ago today. March 19, 1917. and received & common school education. Tn his young man. hood he became fisherman and built up a thriving industry, along the lakes and rivers of his native

state. Observing that the supply of fish was slowly but surely failing, and being of that type of men who have at heart the interests of coming gen eradons as well as their own, he be- gan to give serious thought to the problem of replenishing and main taining the fish crop" He began to experiment first with trout and sal mon spawn and succeeded in increas-
 ing the yield of fish from 25 to 95
 per cent.
 It was 52 years ago in 1887, that
 Green invented his matching box, by
 the use of which the Connecticut
 river was restocked with shad. He
 then restocked the Hudson, the Sus- quehanna and other rivers and lakes
 In 1869 he succeeded in the artificial propa gation of fish, and two years later carried young shad from the At lantic to the Pacific coast. For some years he was superintendent of the New York State Fish Hatcheries at Caledonia The pioneer piscicuIturaI- ist died at Rochester in 1888. Since then his methods have been much i'm proved upon, but he is entitled to all the honor that accrues to the pioneer Green was the author Of Trout Gull ture,'' Fish Matching and Fish Catching" and various other works.

BETTY WANTS
 ANOTHER TRIAL
Woman Charged With
 Fleecing Man Not Pleased With Disagreement.

New York, March 19.---Twelve tired men filed into the court room of Jus tice Davis at 10 o'clock last night and announced they were hopelessly dead locked over the guilt or innocence of Bettey Brewster Inch. She is accused of extorting s215 from Eugene P. Herman.
 Betty received the verdict with the easy manner of a lady presiding over Tonr'bs a, few minutes later, pending the issuance of 8. new bail bond, to day, she waved her hand at the turn key and said laughingly:
 ''Betty's coming home early and so- ber!''
 After the jury had been discharged. the defendant turned to newspaper men and asserted: T am going to get that S215 Herr man owes me if I have to stand a trousa ni5, more trials. Furthermore, [ shall deu1a nd another trial so that [ can be cleared of this ridiculous charge. Don't you know me well enough to be sure I wouldn't stoop to nicldng' a millionaire of q. paltry s215 unless I was collecting it for a friend ?''
 Told that members of the tury said they had stock six tS six during the whole course of thetF ten hours of de1iberation. Betty vocalized as fol- lows:
 ''Ain't 1t strange how God makes some of us so bright and some to stu pid?"
 Jurymen said the unex xpected ap- pearance of May Hayes and the bold assertion of the girl of mystery that she was intimately acquainted with IT d. division of the jury. The jury in Betty's first trial voted Il to 1 for conviction. Betty testified then, but May didn't.
 One jurynan said:
 Half of us thought Betty con- ceived a. blackmau scheme. The other half doubted Herrman's credi- biilty, particularly his fiat denial of friendship for May Hayes

Mrs. DeWolf Hopper, who is seen as Mrs. Irna Della barre, was obliged to provide herself with nine new gowns and frocks to keep pace with the demands of George Loane Tucker, director for Miss Stewart, for the proper costuming of the women principals who play the part of social personages.
 other styles of feminine garb are worn by Virginia Norden as Mrs. Teake, Sr., Katherine Lewis as Mrs. Teake, Jr.. Lucille Clayton as Miss Rushin and Gwen Williams as Kitty Lightbody.
 Aside from the tremendous inter terest of the story itself to every wo- man the remarkable display of late styles will not only prove a delight but q genuine revelation to every feminine mind, Certainly the patrons who have witnessed the production so far this week are enthusiastic over it and readily pronounce 1t the most entertaining production that has yet been offered in Bridgeport.
