The mill dam forms n hole of water,

vicinity have long imagined that there
was lot of fish in this pond, but had
never been able to capture but a very
few CT them. Those fishing with gigs
could see in all the water except Il
small and very deep portion around a
huge boulder which had in time fallen

river and rolled into the water The
current of the stream keeps all the
sand and gravel swept away from
around this boulder. Two young men,
upon the advise of Uncle Calvin Wat
kins, owner of the dam, tied COW bell
on the end of long pole, ran the bel
led end Of the pole into the water near
the bottom of the big boulder and rang
the bell as loudly as possible The
fish came out of the hole like sheep out
of barn. The men, assisted by two
others, gigged more than a hundred
| fine fish that day, and by using the
bell device hundreds more have been
taken since.

%. - President Coolidge has not
reached a decision regarding the ap-
pointment of a successor to Frederick
A. Fenning as Commissioner. Accord
ing to those in his confidence, the
President is finding the task of max
ing a selection a most difficult one,
and 1t is thought that some little time
may elapse before an announcement
is made.
1t was said at noon today by one
Of the Presidents intimates, who had
just been in conference with him, that
the President is no nearer making a
choice today than he was when he
asked for Mr.. Jennings resignation
and later when he made public the
resignation.
The President is described as being
of an open mind and is anxious for
suggestion.
Several Names on List.
True enough, there are half a dozen
or so names before the President
which he is considering, but there is
nothing to indicate that any one of
these is the answer the President is
looking for in landing the type of

AGREEMENT DENIED

Has Not Planned to Give
Stock to England.
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Borah of the Senate for
eign relations committee was inform
ed today by Howard Sutherland, alien
property custodian, that no contract
was ever entered into between the Gus
todians Office and the British govern
ment relative to turning over certain
property to the British government.
Mr.. Borah wrote to Mr.. Sutherland
several days ago. asserting he had
been informed such an agreement was
on file, and later, in reply to a letter
from Thomas w. Miller, former Gus
todian. in whose administration he
said the transaction took place. he
said he was interested in knowing
why the custodian did not seize, "on
the books" of the enemy companies
taken over, all OF the outstanding
shares. He also inquired as to me
gotiations pending with the Canadian
government relevant to alien prop
erty."
British Return Certificates.
Replying, Mr.. Sutherland said there
had been mo delivery of property by
the alien property custodian to the
bIIlISl pODllC II uoAcC'
"On the contrary" he said, "the
British public trustee has returned to
the alien property, custodian certifi-
Gates of American corporations of the
approximate value of $125,000,0 900
where the alien property custodian
had seized the right, title and interest
in the same"
Referring TO a statement by Mr..
Borah that the Supreme Court had
commented on the failure of the Gus
todian to seize shares on the books OF
a company, Mr.. Sutherland said the
decision referred to resulted in the
British public trustee returning certifi-
Gates which were in British territory
at the beginning of the World War.
1.-The alien property custodian holds
all certificates of stock demanded and
seized by him in Canadian corpora
tions, the right, title and interest in
which was also demanded by the
Canadian custodian of enemy prop
erty. except that which has been re-,
turned to the actual owners by and
with the consent of the Canadian GUS
todian," Mr.. Sutherland said

He added that the question as to
AH''NSNA
Canadian corporations were evidence
of ownership in the corporation or
were property in themselves had not
been determined by the courts Of Can
ada. American State, Treasury and
Justice officials, he said, had agreed to
suits In Canada to determine the
rights of the Canadian custodian in
the matter of stock certificates seized
as it affected Canadian corporations.
Unable to Appear Now.
Mr.. Miller, through his attorney, to-
dav informed Senator Borah that he
would be unable to appear before the
Senator's alien property investigating
committee at this time.
The attorney, however. said Mr.. Mil
Ter would be at the disposal Of the
committee after his trial, which is set
for September Z. Miller is charged
with misconduct in administering

Miller to appear for examination for
ali alien property transactions.

for the inquiry, but Senator Borah
said he personally would guarantee
the cost of hearing Miller.
