ARDOR NOT LOST IN
BAD FISHING WEATHER
New York Writers and Professional
" Men Delighted With a Ten
Day Fishing Trip

Douglas VI. Dold, fiction writer Of
New York City, with party of sew
on friends, passed thru Elizabeth
City Wednesday. after ten-day fish
ing trip down the sound, where they
were guests of Virginia Dare Hunt
ing and Fishing Lodge on the
marshes below Nags Head. The par
ty went to fish with rod and reel
at Oregon Inlet and to cast for red
bass in the surf, but the rain kept
them indoors most of the time, and
the fresh water brought into the
sounds by the flooded rivers, spoiled
all the fishing they might have had
inside the sounds when the weather
was good.
The party was greatly impressed
with the section and spoke highly of
the treatment received at the hands
Of the fishermen below. They visited
Nags Head and Roanoke Island,
took in everything of any interest,
and were delighted with the sand
hills and other unusual things it was
their pleasure to come across.
During the World War. Mr.. Dold
was director of American and Brit
ish Red Cross activities in Nish,
which was at the time the tempor-
AIRY capital of Serbia. While at Nish
he was also Provisional Commander
of the city and was compelled to
surrender it to German and Bulgar-
ian troops who desolated the land
of the Serbs. During the war. he
became blind and was later sent
home. He now devotes his time to
writing features mostly on fishing.
for the New York evening papers,
and fiction. mostly devoted to detec-
tive stories for metropolitan maga-
zines.
The other members Of the party
were Prof. William III. Echols of
the chair of mathematics ut the
University of Virginia, and his son,
Robert Echols, Jr.; DIR. A. A. Syn
der, II surgeon of Washington, ID. c.;
II. Gwynne Tayloe, gentleman farm
er of Middleburg, Va; DIR. III. X.
Etheridge of Norfolk; and also DR..
William Il. Dold and son, William
Dold, Jr., who are the father and
brother respectively of Douglas
Dold.

DRY SHIP ORDER
To AWAIT COURT
INTERFERE TAT|ON
Enforcement of the Law
With Respect to Foreign
Liners viii Be Held in
Allegiance for the Present.

Washington, Oct. % (by the AS
ISOLATED Press) enforcement OF
the national prohibition law with
respect to foreign shipping within
American territorial waters will
await a final Interpretation of that
section Of the statute by the SUI
preme court, it was indicated today
by administration officials. This
Interpretation is expected by gov
eminent officers late next month
or in December.
Decision of Che executive de-
partment to withhold enforcement
of the law as construed by Attorney
General Daugherty in his opinion
Of October 6, was formally COM
municated today to Associate JUS
tice Brandeis, of the supreme
court, who subsequently refused TO
grant various steamship lines a
stay against the enforcement OF
Federal Judge Hands decision at
New York, dismissing their appli-
cation for permanent Injunction
restraining federal agents from APP
plying the Volstead act.
Justice Brandeis, who was sitting
in chambers, was understood to
have agreed with counsel for the
government and the steamship
lines that the decision to withhold
enforcement had removed any ne
cessity for a legal stay through Il
writ of supersedeas, which had
been requested by the lines and ac-
quiesced in by the department of
Justice The decision as to en-
forcement was incorporated in a
formal order issued by Secretary
Mellon to customs officials and
prohibition officers, which was
drafted after Mr.. Mellon had con-
ferrcd at length with Attorney
General Daugherty.
Would Cause Damage.
Counsel for the steamship COM
panies in their petition to Justice
Brandeis contended that enforce
ment of the Daugherty ruling
would cause irreparable damage to
their business and would lead to
diplomatic difficulties.
A statement by the department
