MILLIONS OF CLANS ASHORE.
Piled In Heaps BY Floods on Rockaway
Point

New York, March 13.-The problem
Of inducing millions of clans to return
to their open beds is causing anxiety
among officials of the borough Of Queens.
Maurice f. COMMODITY, borough president,
knows of no means by which he can COM
municate his wishes to the clans, and
the latter, cluttering up Rockaway
Beach for a distance of 10 miles, are
displaying all the listless reticence for
which they are celebrated.
If the CLAIMS are to be removed, If was
said today, approximately Sl,00o.n 600

that they be burned with crude oil.
The clans, washed ashore by recent
gales. are piled from one to three feet
deep from Rockaway Point to Edgemere
Fishermen and oystermen have reaped a
rich harvest. but so dense are the bi-
valves that scarcely any impression has
been made on the accumulation.

from a great height and then TO swoop
down upon the succulent morsels thus
exposed. The gulls are not at all careful
as to where the shells strike, and In
numerous cases the heaos of unsuspecting
citizens have been used by them as clam
openers.
Residents thereabouts also fear that
the fragrant sea breezes will not be quite

the special session. Not one of them is An
actual necessity and forty thousand dol

governor is reported as saying we have
plenty Of money in the treasury, and we
can afford to help out on the School Code
and make the tax on us poor souls less
II we have 40 much money, which IS \
dangerous thing to have, because 1T is
generally wasted, AS they are gong TO do
now at this special session, why not re-
lievc us of the State income tax, which
is another burden on the people. And will
not the members Of the Legislature from
Wilmington have something to say about
taking State money to use for rural schools
when they will not benefit thereby?
| understand the Representative from
this hundred is opposed to the special
session. but the Senator is highly in favor

for a great many years, and very good
man he was. He always practlccd economy
and tried to teach 1t to his family, but
am afraid our Senator has got mixed up
somehow with lot of ficklc-minded
women who have impaired his mind and
affected his vision. The great majority of
the good women of this State are opposed
to suffrage, bless their hearts. ] wish we
