First BivaIves Propagation
Achieved by William Firth
Wells, N. Y. Biologist

The first incubator oyster has
been successfully reared.
After experiments continuing over
quarter of century, scienticts
of the New York conservation COM
mission, acting in cooperation with
the public health service, have
finally reached a process OF propa-
eating the bivalve ratificially.
The test will come tonight IN
New York city, when the first
oysters which spent their babyhood
in incubators will be spread upon
the banquet table before the Ma
tional Association Of Fisheries Com
mlSSiOnerS and the National AsSo-
citation of Oyster Growers and
Dealers.
William Firth Wells, biologist of
New York State, is the expert VINO
has succeeded in raising the oyster
under artificial conditions and in
developing a process which will
have much to do towards increas-
Ing the production of the bivaIve in
all the seaboard States.
Under the new propagatingl sys.
tenn, the properly reared oyster no
longer will spend its young life In
environment precarious because Of
parasites and contaminated waters.
1t will be developed by artificial
fertilization of the egg, will swim
through pure water to q specially
prepared plate, and there will stay
with thousands Of its brothers and
sisters until it is strong enough
to be placed out on suitable
oyster bed for mature.

oyster growers are convinced by
the results of the experiment that
the process can be made successful in
general application to the oyster
industry, 1t is predicted that the
annual production OF the bivalve in
the United States can be increased

COOLIDGE AGAINST
TARIFF DUTY CUT TO
help out GERMANY

Swampscott, Mass, June 26-(AP)
President Coolidge is firmly oppos-
ed to suggestions made abroad that
the United States lower its tariff du-
ties and curtail production as a
means Of aiding Germany to meet
reparations payments and European
governments generally to pay their
debts.
The presidet's view, outlined today
at the summer white house. concern
ea particularly the proposal on tariff
reduction and production curtailment
made before the international CHAM
her of commerce, meeting at Brus-
sells, by Secretary Joshua Stamp, a
British banker, who served on the re-
parations commission.
The president is of the opinion
that many plans proposed for the
betterment of conditions abroad are
simply left handed efforts to get the
United States to pay reparations.
The pepole of the United States on
whom the burden Of any proposal, If
adopted, would rest, Mr.. Coolidge is
convinced, are determined not 70 be-
come involved in the reparations
problem and are unalterably opposed
to debt cancellation. He believes that
they have no sympathy for such a
plan as outlined by Sir Joshua Stamp.
IN the presidents opinion the n
crease In American imports during
the last few years is sufficient an
swer to the suggestion that tariff du-
ties should be lowered He considers
it significant that American trade
volume is approximately fifty per
cent greater than before the war
while the import and export business
of most European countries is less.
While Mr.. Coolidge holds to the
view that the American public feels
that Germany must pay reparations
and that other European nations
must meet their debt obligations he
believes that to an extent the people
of the United States have a concern
in world conditions which they would
be glad to alleviate through any plan
which did not shift unwarranted
burdens on their shoulders.

Hayward-Cannot Be SEN
fenced Until September

By no authority in the statutes can
Harry A. Kirby, alias Louis Blunt,
confessed murderer of Aida Hayward
of winthrop, be transferred from the
Kennebec county jail to State
prison for safe keeping pending his
trial in September and every precau-
ton should be taken to insure his
safe custody in jail
This is the substance of letter
sent Friday by Governor Brewster
to Henry +. Cummings, sheriff OF
Kennebec county, in reply to the
sheriff's question regarding the pos
sibility of placing Kirby in one OF
the strong cells at Thomaston.
The next session of the grand jury
for Kennebec county will begin the
first Tuesday of September and kir-
by cannot be sentenced until that
time unless special session Is
called, which seems unlikely.

"In accordance with your request
1 took up with the Executive Coun-
Gil and the Attorney General the
question of transfer of Harry A.
Kirby to the State Prison at Thom-
aston for safe keeping pending the
trial in September.
1.-THE Attorney General advises us
that there is no authority in our
statutes for making a transfer OF
this kind and that serious question
as to its legality might be raised If
it should be undertaken. None Of us
would wish to take any hazard what
ever of legal technicalities being
raised in a case of this public impor-
tance.
1.-THE Executive Council expressed
very great concern as to every pos
sible precaution being taken to in
sure safe custody in this case. l
stated to them the circumstances as
you presented them to me and they
were very strongly and unanimously
of the opinion that an additional
guard should be provided to assist
you in this case.
1.-THE Executive Council have voted
that their position should be COM
municated to you and that it should
be made a matter of public record
in view of the Importance of the in
terests which are at stake"
