Fertll1Zer from herring

reau OF Fisheries for 1910, when
mat bureau was ably managed by
executives who recognized their
Response Dilities as trustees OF our
fisheries, the question OF making
fertilizer from herring was thus
summed up:
The use OF herring in the
manufacture OF fertilizer and Oil
as conflicting with it's use by man
directly as a food and bait fish,
and indirectly through the depend
ence OF the valuable king salmon
nsnery upon it as food material,
gives raise to a somewhat puzzling
question OF right and administra-
tive policy.
The present fisheries law does
not prohibit such use OF food fishes,
and there is now one plant, that
of the Alaska Oil & Guano Co., at
Killisnoo, in S. E. Alaska, engaged
IN the industry. This year this
plant caught $4,000 barrels of
herring, with an aggregate weight.
roughly, OF 1I,SOO,0OO pounds. OF
these all but 100 barrels which
were picked for use as bait, were
converted into fertilizer and oil.
1t is easy to conceive of COM
mercial uses to which fishes arc
put which take precedence over
other uses with respect to public
advantage. Thus the manufacture
of fertilizer and oil from fishes ia
a lower use, inferior to the bus
mess of preparing food products
from fishes, or even to their use
as bait for food fishes. Thus the
menhaden ranks lower than the
herring. Such a view in par
grows out of the fact that these
fertilizer and oil products, quite
legitimate in themselves, do not
depend entirely on fishes for their
raw material. Furthermore even
fish fertilizer and fish oil do not

 The diver has been at the Marine hospital at Chelsea since. but was expected to rejoin the forces here today.
 Coincident with his return, it was expected that the force of mon at work here would be considerably augmented as a result of a navy de- partment order directing the imme diate transfer of all qualified divers to the Falcon for temporary duty.
 The order was interpreted as evidence of the naNy's determination to press the raising of the suhma- rine as eXpeditiously as possible

APPLEbY SHAVING
 TAKES ATTENTION
Los Angeles Police Trying to
 Reconstruct Crime

Los Angeles, Dec. q (P>-Sheriff' $ investigators dug into a growing mass of tangled clues here today in all effort to reconstruct an orderly story of the staying of Mrs. Amelia Appleby, widow Of a millionaire Chi cago inventor,
 A piece Of patched canvas and some bits Of cord which correspond to those used to wrap the body were iadded to the chain of evidence by which the prosecutors expect to con- Vict Dr. Charles NJ. McMillan of the murder.
 Although McMillan continued to assert his innocence, the authorities declared their case against him had been materially strengthened by the finding Of the canvas and the cord and by word from Chicago that he had been involved in the financial affairs of the woman.
 The canvas and the pieces of rope, according to the officers, fixed the probable place of the staying in a north rear room of Mrs. Appleby's home here. It was there also, the officers said, that the body was wrapped in the canvas before trans porting it to the outskirts Of the city, where it was found Monday.
 The officers declared they had not yet obtained satisfactory eXplana- ton from the doctor of two pairs of shoes of the slain woman found in his apartment. There were no shoes on the body when foInd.
 Likewise, the investigators plan 10 question the doctor further on why he rented Mrs. Applebys house on the day the body was found. If he had told him, as he had contended, that she was going to san Diego for only a visit.
 They have placed in the hands Of handwriting experts a purported will of Mrs. Appleby in which she left her fortune to Dr. McMillan, who had lived with her and in recent months managed her business af- fairs at q salary which he said was Sl0o month. The officers believe the body of the will is in the doctors handwriting.
 Also a part of the investigation in the mysterious staying is the where abouts of jewels valued at S60,000 which Mrs. Appleby was known to have had in her possession.
 One phase of the investigation switched to Chicago as the officers sought to determine why McMillan dispatched a letter to lessees of one of the slain woman's Chicago pro- perties instructing them to be to him at his apartment.
 Another discrepancy was discov- cred according to the officers. when they telephoned to the minister of said he attended services last Sun day night. The physician said the pastor delivered his sermon without notes. The minister aaid that al though It was not his usual custom, he used notes in delivering his ser mon.
 Mrs. McMillan. the doctors es- tranged wife. who is living in Los Angeles, declared her intention of standing by him in the present case,
