thousands of the choicest mountain
trout were saved from destruction, the
commissioner said.
In contrast to the defamation Of the
fish life Commissioner Lee pointed out
that the drought was very favora BILE
to the propagation of animal life, deer,
squirrels, rabbits, quail, pheasants and
turkeys having increased in great
numbers due to lack Of torrential
rains and chill nights.
Crabs are coming into the Chesa
peake Bay and it's Virginia rivers in
such unprecedented numbers that
they are clogging the nets of fisher
men, the State Department of Fish
cries announced today. 1t was said
that the Summer drought had so re-
duced fresh water in the rivers empty
ing into the bay that crabs were
being taken at Fredericksburg on the
Rappahannock and Windsor Shades
on the Chickahominy. Never in the
history of the department has such
condition prevailed before, it was
declared.
The department attributed the large
number of crabs to the strict enforce

of the disaster early today TO the Navy

He said he was in the water ! hour
and Is minutes before he was rescued
by a life boat of the steamer City of
Rome and that he saw five other men
in the water who apparently drowned.
Asleep at Time.
At the time of the crash, he said he
was asleep in the forward battery and
was awakened by a piece of cork
striking his face. When he reached
the bridge. he declared he was washed

suction.
AS he went overheard. he said he
saw the City of Rome close by and
she backed away. lie asserted that
no Searchlights were used ana that
the steamer left the scene 45 minutes
after he had been rescued.
The submarine was on the surface
when struck, he added, and all of
the deck matches except the coming
tower hatch was closed. He expressed
the belief that all compartments for

MYSTERY DISEASE
At HOME CHECKED
Nature of Malady That
Claimed Three at Critten-
ton Remains UnsoIved.

After nearly week of investigation
by leading physicians of the city, in
Guiding experts of the District Health
Department, the nature of the malady
which has caused three deaths among
the babies of the Florence Crittenton
Home remains a mystery, DIR. w. G.
Fowler, health officer, admitted last
night.
The third death occurred early yes
terday at Children's Hospital, despite
heroic measures reSorted to by stan
surgeons to save the nameless young
sters life.
Blood TRANSMISSION operations,
comparatively rare step in the treat
ment of infants, have been performed
on all four of the tiny patients still
confined to the hospital. but no marked
improvement in their condition has
been noted, it is said.
Spread of Disease Checked.
The baby who died yesterday was
subjected to such an operation several
hours before it's death, but it grew
steadily worse, it's appearance being
markedly emaciated at the end
The spread of the strange disea Sc
among the other babies at the home
appears to have been successfully
checked. however. Because of the fact
that the preliminary symptoms of
illness shown by those fatally stricken
were suggestive of a minor digestive
or intestinal disorder. such as infants
are subject to at this time of the
year. it has been extremely difficult
for the home authorities to distinguish
between children having only common
and those afflicted with the
mystery malady."
Chemists Seek Cause.
The first symptoms of the disease
are vomiting and diarrhea, with rapid
changes. DIR. Fowler Is
that the ailment is
form of dysentery, the exact
diagnosis of which. however, cannot
be made at this time.
No cases of similar illness have
been reported from any other part
of the city and DIR. Fowler therefore
a ssumes that the trouble originated at
and rs confined to the charitable in
stitution at Conduit and New Cut
roads.
Specimens of the viscera of the de-
ceased babies now are being examined
by laboratory experts Of the Health
with view to determin-
ing the meteorological content of the
vital organs. In this way II is hoped
that a positive diagnosis of the cases
may be reached within several days.

KHAN PARADE IN HERRlN
NOT HELD AFTER PROTEST
Mayor Had Urged Cancellation.
Fearing Disorder-Rain Be-
lieved Possible Reason.


HERRIN. Ill, September ga ku
KluN Khan parade scheduled here to-
night was called off late today. Mayor
Marshall Mccormack. who had urged
cancellation of parade plans because
of possible disorder, was informed by
a representative OF Gale Carter Of
Springfield, grand dragon of the Hi
nois Khan, that the parade would not
be held.
Mayor Mccormack said the khan rep
resentative gave no reason for calling
off the parade, and did not indicate
whether it was in response 10 the
mayors letter a few days ago in
which he declared the Khan meeting
was renewing old feelings" and a
parade might result in more out
breaks
Heavy rain fell during the after
noon. however, and the mayor be-
lieved this had something to do with
calling off the parade. A slight driz-
zle was falling early tonight.

FOREST WEEK BODY
MEETS TOMORROW
Progress Made This Year to
Check Huge Losses
From Fires.

Striving to offset the record break
ing forest fire losses of 1924. the
forces working to maintain national
forest policy are taking much salts
faction in the advances made during
1925.
In 1924 more than 2S,OOO,o0 acres
were fire-swept and it is estimated
that the Nation suffered loss of more
than $500, 200, 900 in it's natural re-
sources. AS 1925 draws to a close.
conservationists point TO a record OF
progress toward the goal of restoring
those and other losses and minimizing
their recurrence.
Three outstanding events in the
conservation movement are listed for
September and October. The Amer
lean Forest Week Committee meets
here tomorrow at the United States
Chamber of Commerce at the call of
former Gov. Lowden of Illinois. On
October Is and 16 at Madison, Ind, a
four-State conservation meeting will
be held at the call of Gov. Jackson.
At Seattle. on the University OF Wash
ington campus, the $3.50, 900 Agnes H.
Henderson forestry building will be
dedicated with appropriate ~ceremonies.
The first survey of recent forestry
legislation in all the States now is
being distributed by the American
Tree ASSOCIATION. 1T SHOWS tndI ~
States already have State forests, 33
have forestry departments. 16 main
tain State nurseries and State forestry
appropriations approximate $500, 900
a year.
The year 1924 was marked by the
passage of the McNary Clarke law"
said Charles Lathrop Peck, president
of the association, land the date will
always be big one in forestry his
tory. Now the States must pass CO.
operation legislation in order to benefit
by that law.
1.-The big point to remember is that
the McNary-Clarke law is purely an
authorization law, and it remains for
each session of Congress to appropri-
ate the money. However, it estab-
lIshed a definite policy of Federal
financial and advisory cooperation

When the full limit Of $2,500,000 is
reached by Congress 1t Is hoped that
State and private organiza tons will
be spending s7,500,OO0 for the protec-
ton of forests from fire, making an
adequate total of $10,000,000 a year

parture of the City of Rome from the
scene, said it might have thought
when the submarine sank that all
aboard We're lost, which was not nee.
essarily the case with such craft.
The steamer gave bearings to locate
the spot, but Mr.. Wilbur declared
these were not always accurate. and
a slight discrepancy might delay res
cue work for hours. A dispatch from
the rescue crews yesterday said the
Sol actually was found mile and a
half from the points indicated by the
bearings.
From press advices and it's own dis
patches naval officers were inclined to
the belief that the Ssh was proceeding
according to its rights under the law
OF the sea when the collision occurred.
Both ships, IL was said, apparently
were approaching, with the steamer
on the port side of the submar ine
This would have given the SOL the
right of way and would have required
her to proceed without changing
course of speed until the collision was
unavoidable, it was stated.
Steamer Overlook Submarine.
In addition, the submarine, it was
said, was struck abaft the coming
tower, indicating that the City of
Rome was an "overtaking ship" and
should have given right of way to the
submarine for that reason also. That
Inc steamer saw only one white light
would be evidence of this, it was add
ed, as that was the stern light, while
from abaft the red and green lights on
either side of the submarine could not
be seen.
From where the submarine was hit
IT was concluded that If the bulkheads
held. as they should in depth to as
great as 200 feet, the officers and men
in the forward section, where the
crews quarters are located might be
alive.
For those in the engine room little
hope was held out, nor was there
much hope for any who may have
been toward the stern near the bat
teries because of the danger from
chlorine gas. That section, however,
is not frequented ordinarily by many
at night.

RICHMOND, Va, September 20
It will require at least 10 years close
cooperation by the Virginia and Fed
eral departments of fisheries to re-
stock the mountain streams of Vir-
