QUINN WANTS
 POND OF FISH ON EVERY FARM
Ala, May P.
 W Especial. IA campaign will

MNONTGOMERY, Ala, May p. W Special. "A campaign will
 be begun during the summer, after the crops are laidby, to induce the farmers of Alabama to stock their ponds with fish, it was stated today by I. T. Quinn, state game and fish commissioners. The slogan for the campaign will be "a fish pond on every farm"
 ''It is fact which has been dem- Onstrated that practically without cost more ponds of fish can be grown on one acre of water than can be produced in pounds of poul- try. pork or beef on a like area of land" said Mir. Quinn.
 Every farmer who has a spring on his place can, at little cost, con- struct a dam four or five feet high and begin fish culture right away. Instead of waiting for the federal government or the state to supply his needs, let him go to some near by stream with a barbless hook and take a few specimens of brook stock of bass or Dream, and raise his own fish"

can play the part of judge. On Sun

Discuss Plan at Conference
for Increasing Hospital
Facilities Here.
SUGGEST TWO UNITS

Plans for the building of two fifty
bed hospital units, one at the St
GATHERINGS hospital in the near fut-
ure and the other later at the Kenosha
hospital, were discussed Tuesday
afternoon at a conference held at the
Elks' club with representatives of the
Manufacturers association and the
physicians Of the city in attendance.
While no definite action was taken at
the meeting, arrangements were made
for further conferences when more de-
finite information is TO be presented
and definite action probably taken.
Several weeks ago the Manufact-
urers' association made survey Of
the hospital situation in Kenosha and
reported that this city was in imme-
ties to the extent of not less than one
hundred beds.
At the conference held on Tuesday
a plan was informally presented,
whereby the st. GATHERINGS hospital,
if aided now to meet certain obliga-
tions can secure the financing of the
erection of new unit there which
would provide accommodations for at
least fifty patients. The Manufact-
urers' association committee looked
with favor upon the plan and agreed
to cooperate but asked for more
definite presentation of it and, for time
to present the project to its organiza-
ton.
1t is the ultimate plan to build two
units, one at each hospital and the
erection of these would enable the
present hospitals to handle any
emergencies which might arise in Ke-

Long Voyage No Bar
to Winning Cup

London ecturing on the "Ameri-
cas- Cup" which Sir Thomas Upton
has been trying to annex for some
years, Major B. Hukstall-Smith said
the cup was worth winning back and
he believed it could be done if yacht
clubs and yachtsmen encouraged the
sport of yacht racing and gave design
ers the opportunity.
The lecturer commented on the gen
eral opinion that because the British
yachts had to cross the Atlantic, they
were handicapped in having to be
more strongly built. He doubted
whether that would bear the cold
light of scientific examination. He
believed the reason was one of de-
sign, and expressed the opinion that
the time would come when British
designers would rise to the occasion
and recover the cup.

Stephen Kluberg Tells the
Judge he Burglarized
Rouse Harrison.
Is A STRANGE FELLOW
Lad of Seventeen Who Occu-
pied Ezra Simmons Home
Puzzles the Officials.

Stephen Kluberg, II, of ALP Collins
street, pleaded guilty in the municipal
court Tuesday afternoon to the charge
Of burglary in the nighttime of the
shop of w. Rouse Harrison.
Kluberg, whose erratic and wild be-
havior had puzzled the officers who
had to handle him the day beforej
came into court this time as meek as
lamb. The day before he had tried
to bite the hand of Lieutenant Rock
when resisting arrest, but Tuesday he
behaved in the court room as if but
ter would not melt in his mouth, and
tried an entirely different line of be-
havior. In general his behavior sug-
gests a youth of wild tendencies and a
strange mental bias.
Court Considers Case.
The lad of seventeen had no eX-
PLANTATION to make for his wild behav-
Tor when as fugitive from the police
he resisted arrest Monday afternoon
when crawling out of the basement of
the Ezra Simmons home he was ar
rested by Lieut.. Rock and Secretary
Meissner.
"See, judge, my mother needs my
help" the youthful defendant plead
ed. IF you gave the other fellow
chance
81 haven't given the other fellow a
chance" answered Judge Slater, zone
of you three boys has just been sent
to the reform school for three years"
Kluberg was identified as the lead
err of youthful trio, consisting of
EHneaV fob orJ ond
himself, the last two of whom pleaded
guilty in court to the charge of car
rying concealed weapons, loaded guns.
Eyes, but you gave the other one
parole" said Stephen.
81 did not" answered the Judge.
''Yes, you did," persisted Stephen,
not hesitating to contradict the court.
II deferred sentence until l could
look up his record further replied
the Judge.
The same action was taken in Steph-
ems case, sentence was deferred.
Youth is Handcuffed.
In spite of Stephens lamb-like be-
havior, the officers took no chances
with him this. time. He was hand
cuffed to Detective Breidt while COM
ing from the city hall and again when
conducted to the county Jail.
''I'm not going to run away" cried
Stephen.
''No, and I'm not going to chase you
either" replied the police detective
with equal good humor.
Stephen was found hiding in the
vacant home of Ezra Simmons on
West Park Place Monday afternoon,
where he had apparently made him
self at home for several days. He
had made up bed for himself, helped
himself to the linen and silver, cooked
his meals and was reading a book
from the house library when inter
rupted by the arrival of police. While
one officer tried the front door and
one the rear, Stephen crawled out of
cellar window. He was caught by
the two policemen but only after the
youth put up all the fight he had in
him to resist the capture.
