TRANSPLANTING NOW
BEING GIVEN TRIAL

That the condition OF the oyster I'M
dustry in the Chesapeake Bay will not
measure up to normal. especially as
regards the waters Of the Western
Shore of Maryland, is the conclusion
reached by r. T. Truitt. of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, Depart
ment of Commerce. Mr.. Truitt has
just completed a thorough investiga-
tion OF conditions generally, and sub
mitted a report TO the Maryland Con-
servation Commission.
In his report TO Chairman Vickers.
of the commission, Mr.. Truit says:
Il regret that I can not make a
good report on the result of our trip
10 the Western Shore to overhaul the
oyster bottoms there. Conditions In
that section of the bay are not as
good as might have been expected.
oysters being scarce, and the few
present running will average 100 per
cent. marketable. Rarely any 'spat'
was found, and little, IL any, growth.
all OF which means that after q good
days work by the large oyster dredg-
ing boats the entire shore from above
Plum Point to Flag Pond, below Gov
eTnors Run. will be cleaned up This
strip Includes all the State reserve
area, with the experiments thereon.
Now this does not mean that trans
planting of oysters is, as a policy. a
failure. On the contrary, it is COM
mendable and, under the circum-
stances that existed while the work
was being carried on. doubly justih-
able. Except the areas upon which
the transplanted oysters died shortly
after planting. all the seed from the
frcsher waters up the bay matured
and were removed by the oystermen
frequenting that locality. They were
of much finer quality and of larger
size than the Upper Bay district af-
ford. Since oyster life in the territory
whence these seed came is practically
extinct, you will perceive with me that
the policy was good one. OF course,
it had defects, one big one, at least.

future time.

CIRCUIT COURT IN
SPECIAL SESSION

The Circuit Court for Anne Arundel
County, Judge Robert Moss on the
Bench, met in special session this
morning to hear the case of Bernard
Downing VS.. William F. Butler. both
of which parties were former resi-
dents of Prince George county.
The motion was to strike out a
judgment obtained at the last term of
Court by the plaintiff, Downing. the
ground alleged being that the defend
ant was not properly summoned and
therefore did not know of the trial
date set and was not present when
Judgment was rendered; also, that as
the property involved in the case was
held by himself and his wife. he was
not liable for damages for breach of
contract made by him in hisSown
name. the basis of the suit being a
claim for damages against Butler for
breach of contract to convey certain
real estate, and which he did not do
because his wife refused to sign the
deed.
During the progress of the hearing
this morning, the attorneys for both
parties reached an amicable agree
ment, which was approved by the
Court, and judgment was entered in
favor of the plaintiff for S40O and
costs.

CONSIDER TREATY
RIGHTS OF ALIENS
Bar Association Would Provide
More Adequate Protection
Amplify Other Laws Too

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26.-Enactment of
Federal legislation guaranteeing more
adequate protection to aliens in their
treaty rights was recommended at to-
days session of the convention of the
American Bar Association by its com
mittee on Jurisprudence and Law Re-
form.
This subject is entitled to very
serious consideration in the pending
Congress" in the opinion of the COM
mittee. It's recommendation. accord
ing to the report, results from 'vari-
GUS complaints that have been made
TO the United States by other nations
that the rights OF the citizens of those
nations, under existing treaties. were
not sufficiently protected by laws of
this country"
The proposed legislation provides
that the president be authorized to
direct the Attorney-General. in the
name and behalf of the United States,
to file bill in equity in the proper
district court OF the United States
against any person or persons threat
ening to violate the rights of citizen
or subject of a foreign country, Sc
cured to such citizen or subject by
treaty between the United States and
such foreign country; and that this
provision shall apply to acts threaten
ed by State officers under the alleged
justification of a law of the Legisla-
ture of the State in which such acts
are TO be committed
In cases where aliens are brought
to trial in State courts for violation of
State statutes, which are deemed by
the President to be contrary to the
rights of the defendant. the govern
ment. under the proposed law,
would have power to file an interven-
ing petition for the transfer of the ac-
tion to Federal court.
The committee also suggested am
plificatiOns of the judicial code to
clarity laws governing the removal of
causes and advised changes in the
rules of the Supreme Court so that
lawyers would not have to journey TO
Washington to file motions.
