SMITH SENTIMENT
+. IN MARYLAND SEEN
Democrats Show Trend To-
ward New Yorker, With
McAdoo Failing.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. February 16.-Whiie
tho most ardent McAdoo supporters
here refuse to admit that he has
been practically. eliminated from the
field Of presidential candidates and
believe he made a wise move in sub
hitting the question to a verdict of
his supporters. the general feeling
among state democratic leaders is
that the oil probe disclosures have
destroyed his availability. The name
of Gov. ZAP Smith of New York has
week in connection with the presi-
dency. and while no active steps look
ing to lining up sentiment for him In
Maryland have been taken as yet, there
is no doubt that his stand on many
questions-especially on the prohibit
ton question-meets with the ap-
prevail of the rank and file OF the
democratic party in Maryland.
That little trouble would be ex
pertenced in lining up the Maryland
delegation for Gov. Smith at the New
York convention was the opinion ex-
pressed the other day by one of the
leading democratic politicians who
heretofore has been classed as an
ardent McAdoo supporter.
Gov. Smith stands today as the
logical candidate of the party" he
said. and in every sense OF the word
is the most outstanding figure OF
true democracy in the country. While
there are other potential candidates
In the party whose stand on ques
tons of vital Importance to all Mary
landerS has been all that could be
desired, notably Senator Oscar Under
wood of Alabama, Gov. Smiths whole
life has been typical Of that brand
OF democracy that appeals to the
Marylander."
President Coolidge has continued
to gain ground in the state during
the week, number Of republican or
CARNATIONS having Endorsed his can
didacy and expressed confidence in
his handling of the oil leases.
The woman voters of both the old
line political parties have been hold
ing the political spotlight here dur
ing the week. The refusal of the
Democratic Women's Club to enter
federation has brought about dissen-
sion which resulted in the rcsigna-
ton of Mrs George NJ. Gather as sec
rotary. The election of Mrs. Jesse
w. Nicholson of Chevy Chase as
chairman Is said to have brought
about the feud between the two or
ganizations, as the Baltimore club Is
said to have slated Mrs. S. johnson
Poe for the place.
The republican women, on the
other hand. are fighting among them
selves but have declared war on the
men OF the party and demand recop-
milton on the city committee as well
as representation on the delegation.

Hiram Johnson and Robert NJ. La
Toilette will go before the voters of
North Dakota on March Is in the
second earliest presidential primary
in the country. Political conferenc
which have been aimed both at the

fight between Coolidge and La Fol-
lette delegates to the republican ma
tional convention in the primary, and

HARRY ELLSWORTH SELECTED
 FOR ADVISORY COMMISSION

Harry Ellsworth, member of the Territorial Fish Commission received a telegram this morning from Her bert Hoover, Secretary of the De- partment of Commerce, stating that he had been named member of the advisory board which will consider the present regulations governing laskan salmon fisheries to make changes and recommendation or ad- ditions to the present laws for the coming year.
 A letter was also received from Governor Scott c. Bone advising Mr. Ellsworth that the Advisory Com mittee of the Bureau of Fisheries would meet at Juneau the first week in September Commissioner Henry O'Malley will be in attendance as well as Delegate Sutherland.
 The value of having member of this advisory board in Seward can not be too greatly estimated. The Fisheries Bureau has built and is maintaining splendid hatchery at Grouse Lake has cleared the streams in this vicinity increasing the run of red fish, and will continue it's pol icy of propagation. Plans next year call for the construction of traps at Bear Lake and on Quartz Creek, to prevent trout from ascending to these streams.

ALLEGED PIRATE VESSELS
 LISTED BY CANNERYMEN
(Luneau Emnirel

The systematice campaign of trap robbing, said to have existed in the southern end of the division, near Ketchikan, has been dealt a body blow by the salmon packers them selves, according to word brought to Juneau by Maj. George D. Beaumont, U. s. Marshal who returned last night from the FFirst City. The can nerymen, he said, have entered into an agreement not to buy fish believ- ed to have been stolen.
 This agreement, said Marshal Beaumont, was reached at a meeting of Ketchikan canners and others in that vicinity and followed offical notice given by the governments at- torneys that persons or firms whom it could be shown were knowingly buying fish from trap robbers would be prosecuted either for conspiracy or for receiving stolen goods. Un- der the terms of the agreement the packers furnished each other with list of boats which they knew or had reason to believe were engaged in "pirating." The list is said to have included boats which had offer ed to buy fish from the watchmen on traps owned or operated by the individuals or companies represented at the meeting. It is reported that more than 30 boats were listed by the connerymen. Since the agree ment was made vessels listed have been unable to sell fish on the Ket- chikan market. The action created big sensation among the operators and owners of the prescribed boats and protests are said to have been made.
