DELAWARE RIVER SHOREMEN
INTERESTED IN FISHING BILL
PROPOSE NEW LAW FOR BOTH
DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY
Already Draft Bill To Be presented
to the Delaware Legislature
Which Meets Next Week

Members of the Delaware Fish Com
mission held a conference Thursday, lat
which the final draft of the proposed
concurrent legislation with the State
of New Jersey was made. The bill is
now being drawn by ]. Hall Anderson,
attorney, of Dover,-who is a member
of the commission. The final session
started Wednesday night and it was
found necessary to continue all day
Thursday on the work. AS soon as
copies of the measure are prepared,
they will be submitted to the New Jer-
sey commission, following which there
will be a joint conference of the two
commissions. 1t is expected that this
session will be the last of the two COM
missions, as the bill in its present
shape is believed to be satisfactory to
the fishermen of both states, as we'll
as other persons who may be interest
ed in fishing. The Delaware commits
sion was appointed about two years
ago and since that time has held a
number Of conferences at points in this
State, at Philadelphia and in New Jer-
sey. Several months ago the mem
bers of the two commissions took a
trip down the bay and obtained some
first hand information about fishing
conditions. Although several COM
missions have been appointed in the
past to obtain concurrent legislation,
it has happened that this has never
been obtained. The present commits
sions of both states are in hopes that
their measure will be adopted, as
every effort has been made to draw a
measure which will be acceptable to
all persons. With the adoption of the
measure by the Legislatures of both
States, which is necessary to obtain
concurrent legislation, fishing condi-
tions on the river will improve great
ly. One trouble in the past has been
the fact that laws for certain fish clos
ed at one time in one State and at an
other time in the other State. This
was disagreeable to the fishermen, who
happened to lose by this law. Under
the new plans, the laws will be the
same for both States.

FOG DELAYS ALL TRAFFIC
Boat and Rail Transportation Held Up
By Worst Fog In Years-Few
Autos Turn Out Last Night

AuIOS luFn Out Last Night
Thick murky fog which spread over
this section of the county and the Del
aware River yesterday afternoon grew
in density until at 6 o'clock last night
all river traffic was suspended. The
Wilson Line steamers were tied up and
ferry service between Wilmington and
PENIS Grove was cancelled. Many
persons who patroniZe the boats were
compelled to remain either in Will
mington or PENIS Grove over night.
According to maritime authorities this
is the most serious delay to shipping
along the Delaware River that has oc-
CURED in many months. At the
Breakwater 18 vessels were fogbound
and there were unconfrmed reports
that three steamships had been in col
lision while attempting to make the
bay during a temporary lift in the
murk, but no word of disaster have
been received at the cost guard sta
tiOn at Cape May, and little credence
was placed by maritime men in the re-
port of a wreck. Many of the eigh-
teen steamships, now held at the
Breakwater, have just passed through
a series of severe gales in crossing the
Atlantic and there were reports, i'm
possible to verify last night, that sew
eral of them had been battered badly
by the incessant gales. The fog,
bringing reminders of the christmas
Blizzard" of 1909, which followed
thick weather similar to that last
night, began with a thin and dull gray
haze which soon thickened into a
murky fog, almost impenetrable to
ordinary sight. 1t compelled motor
men of trolley cars to run at slow
speed and frequently test their brakes,
forced motorists, no matter how care
/ less or speed anxious to run slowly
and railroad trains filled with home
goers to creep cautiously out from the
stations. Street lights and illuminat-
| ed store windows did little to pierce
the muIk as the night wore on and
the sidewalk crowds milled along at
an even slower pace than usual. Few
autos are out on the State Highways.
| Fogbound mariners hope that the sun
will soon dissipate the mist and per-
nit them to complete their voyages.
The Commercial Traveller, from San
Francisco, is fog-bound at Reedy Is
land, after having been aground on
Pea Patch Island, near Fort Delaware.
She was foated unassisted after sew
eral hours, and reached Reedy Island
at o'clock yesterday afternoon.

and disease problems. He stated that
Delaware is the only State east of the
corn belt that produces an excess Of
corn and that the University was ad-

product. SDr. c.. c. Palmer, head of
the Animal Industry Department of
the University addressed the members
on the work the Animal Industry De-
partment is doing for the livestock
interests of the State. His talk was
concluded by a resume of the research
and investigational work underway in
the department. The Investigations
upon livestock and poultry diseases
proved to be of special interest to the
members. Poultry diseases received
considerable attention as we'll as con-
tageous abortion in dairy, cattle and
hog cholera in swine. DR.. Ruhl of
Milford invited the society to hold its
summer meeting at Rehoboth. Newly
elected officers were: DR.. Harry Nc
Daniel, Dover, president; DR.. C. C.

Barely Escape With Their Lives

Mrs. H. o. Weatherly and her four
small children arrowly escaped being
burned to death when their home on
Stats avenue, Townsend, was destroy
ed by fire Tuesday morning of last
week. The noise of the cracking of
the flames awakened Mrs. Weatherly
between2.30 and o'clock. She man.
aged to get the children and herself
to safety. The fire, in the meantime,
had aroused other residents and the
fire companies from Middletown,
Smyrna and Clayton were summoned.
The fire destroyed the Weatherly
home, causing a loss estimated at be-
tween $500 and $4,000. Some of the
furniture and other belongings were
saved. The firemen prevented the
spread of the flames to the home of
DR.. ]. ID. Niles, which is said to be
valued at $4,000. DIR. Niles owned
the destroyed building. No, cause for
the fire could be given, although Mrs.
Weatherly said that an oil lamp which
she left burning in one of the rooms
upstairs might have been responsible.
Her husband, who is employed in Will
mington, was not at home at time.

and Smyrna stores generally reported
an excellent trade, some the best ever.
Christmas eve falling on Sunday gave
all the congregation of all the

churches. There were services at st.

partially filled with water and when
the mother missed him and began to
look for him she found him in the
boiler. Life was extinct
How he managed to fall into the
boiler is a mystery for he was so little

as high as he. There was not enough
water in the boiler to cover his body.
