CALIFORNIA FISHERMEN
QUIT IN PRICE DISPUTE
Industry May Be Crippled in Bit
ter Fight With State
Exchange.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, November g.
The most bitterly contested war" in
the history OF southern California's
fishing industry loomed today as re-
suit Of the controversy between San
Diego fishermen and officials OF the
California State Fish Exchange rela-
tive to prices to be paid for all species
of sea food by the wholesaler.
Demora lization Of the local fishing
Industry was forecast by the action Of
the lobster fishermen IN joining the
idle feet Boats operating for the can.
neries will be tied up as they reach
port from the banks, thus throwing
more than 1000 men and women out
of employment and temporarily clos
ing down the canneries.
One phase of the present controversy
is that the wholesalers are willing to
pay the price asked by the fishermen.
but are afraid to do 20 because of
threatened court action by the State
Fish Commission.

Carol Seeks a Referendum.

Ever since the death of King Ferdi.
nand of Rumania and the proclama-
ton Of the six-year-old son Of former
Crown Prince Carol as his successor
there have been rumors Of an intend
ed effort by Carol to reach the throne
through a cancellation of his own re-
nouncement of the succession. Carol
has been living in Western Europe,
mainly in Paris, and has maintained
silence regarding his intentions and
desires. But 1t has been evident that
intrigue has been at work in his behalf
at Bucharest, and suspicion has been
engendered that former Queen Marie,
his mother, has been active in his
behalf.
Today comes the not surprising an
nouncement that martial law has been
declared in Rumania upon the discov-
cry Of a clandestine correspondence
by Carol with certain of the leaders
OF the opposition, proposing popular
referendum on the subject Of his eli.
gibility to the throne. Monoilescu.

the former Averescu cabinet, has been

though there is much excitement, the

turn in favor Of Carol. Nevertheless
conditions are favorable to any sort
of upset, as there is strong Caroliar
party in Rumania.

scandalous conduct. He formally re.
nounced his succession in q letter to
his father, which was accepted by a
parliamentary enactment nearly two
years ago. His partisans have since
claimed that this was forced upon
him. During the period of his fathers
illness there was continuing anxiety
lest he attempt a revolution in his
own behalf. He seems, however, to
be young man Of somewhat indolent
nature, who personally prefers a life

his own disposition were alone the de.

the political situation in his country.
But the opposition to the present gov.

Yesterdays Quake.

When the seismographic needles yes
terday began to jump in the .astro
nomical observatories in this country
indicating a severe disturbance within
the earth's crust somewhere on this
continent. there was great apprehen'
sion lest disaster Of magnitude would
soon be disclosed. Computations OF
the distance Of the rupture from the
point OF observation varied widely.
Guesses as to the location were equal.
ly diverse. The site Of the quake was
placed in South America, Central
America, Mexico, Southwestern United
States and under the Atlantic Ocean.
Now 1t appears that the disturb.
ance was in southeaster Alaska and
that owing to the fact Of sparse in.
habitation little damage was done.
Had the quake occurred on the Pa.
cif1c Coast Of the United States or in
the more populous regions to the south
of this country. doubtless a catastro.
phe Of magnitude would have resulted.
The variance Of estimates as to the
location Of the quake and as to It's VIC.
lence Is an interesting phenomenon.
The seismograph Is an exceedingly
delicate instrument, capable Of record.
ing the slightest disturbance of the
earth's crust. According to tho vigor
Of the movements of the recording
needle Judgment Is formed as to the
distance and the severity of the slip
or slide or upheaval. Scientific skill
is necessary to differentiate between
the nearby slight tremor and the far
distant violent one. Yet there is no
known method Of locating the area of
upheaval or displacement. as this lat.
est instance illustrates.
A disturbing possibility occurs in
this case, that the Alaskan quake may
have set in motion tidal wave which
moving southwark with violence may
affect Hawaii. Warnings to that ef.
feet have already been sounded at
Honolulu. but at this writing no indi.
cation has come Of such an oceanic
pulse. which might conceivably take
heavy toll Of shipping and Of life on
land, as was the case in the great

Midcity Site Is Advocated
AS Place for Farmers Market

Washington very much in sympathy
with us. as attested to by having in
dorsements from the following organi.
cations and individuals:
TWenty.four citizens associations,
So dealers on Louisiana avenue, the
Women's City Club. the Citizens Ad.
visory Council, ". M. Jardine, Secre.
tary of Agriculture: 444 farmers bring
ing produce to the Farmers Market,
5 farm bureau locals Of Maryland, 135
dealers located in Center Market.
We are convinced that farmers
market Is absolutely necessary for
Washington, not only for its compe-
tition with other agencies in regu.
lating the price Of green produce and
vegetables the entire year around,
but the excellent facilities it affords
our people to secure these products at
the lowest possible cost, and strictly
fresh and wholesome, and the encour-
agement 1t gives to the farmer, who
certainly needs help.
To give some idea Of the business
done at the Farmers Market there
were sold during the last fiscal year
6O,923 truckloads of farm supplies and
produce, an increase over the pre-.
vious year Of 3,031 loads, all of which
was disposed Of to retail trade prin.
cipally, Notwithstanding statements
to the contrary by advocates Of site
in the southern part Of our city.
Destroy the farmer and you elimi.
nate all competition in farm products
in the District Of Columbia.
1t has been suggested that there are
sites in certain parts of Washington
that can possibly be purchased at a
cheaper price than the one we advo.
cate at Fifth and K streets. Pos.
sibly that is true, but what sane bust.
ness man would even think of locat.
ing his store at some obscure place
from the business and trading center
at the saving Of few dollars for
ground space? His first ambition
would be to secure the most desirable
piece of land. upon which to locate
with full realization that the in.
crease cost Of the land would be fully
offset by the additional business that
would naturally come to him on ac.
count Of the convenient location Sc.
lected to the purchasing public.
1t has been suggested by those ad.
vocating the waterfront site that il
would be more economical to have the
farmers located near the Municipal
Fish Wharf. I fail to see by what
power of reasoning this view could
possibly be arrived at, with practically
all our largest hotels, restaurants,
chain stores. as well as Individual
stores. and the greater number of our
residents located far from that point.
an OF whom would have to cross the
city and attempt at least to proceed
through the congo 7ted traffic zone in
order to do their trading, and, Of
course, return to their homes or places
OF business through the same lines of
traffic.
So let US place this market in a
section Of Washington where it can
be reached with the minimum amount
OF trouble and expense. and that 10.
cation, we are convinced, should be at
Fifth and K streets, adjacent to Con.
vention Hall Market, the largest and
most up-to-date market building in
Washington outside of the present
Center Market.

@. Are blasting caps the cause of
many accidents?-E. F. F.
A. The Institute of Makers of Ex-
plosives says that blasting caps are
highly useful objects when used to de-
tomato explosives, but, through care
lessness, are often left lying around
where children can get them. The lit
tie ones try to experiment with them,
with the result that figures show some
500 are blinded or MANNED each year

@. What Is dazzle painting?-H. P.
A. This scheme embodied entirely
new ideas on sea camouflage and sue
ceeded by the fact that the proposer
was able to supply designs to scale in
large numbers, all bearing out CEN
trail idea. 1t was called, for distinc-
tion's sake, in official documents,
dazzle painting.
@. How are Chinese villages policed?
&C. p. +.
A. Prof. f. T. Williams says: while
theoretically the police powers Of the
whole country are exercised by the
minister of the interior at Peking, in
reality except in some of the principal
cities the peace is maintained very
much as of old-by control through
the village elders and the system of
mutual responsibility. -. On the whole
the method of holding the neighbors
responsible for one anOther'S conduct
and the elders responsible for the viii
lage tends to check serious offenses.
On the other hand, if the general SEN
timent is opposed to any regulation,
such as that forbidding opium smok-
ing, the probabilities are that the
neighbors will shield one another. The
responsibility of the ti-pao, as the
principal elder, for the good order of
thing but a sinecure."

A. He was a pioneer and soldier,
but is perhaps most known as an in
terpreter and Indian agent. He nego-
tiated every treaty with the Indians
from 1852 until near the close of the
French and Indian War. He had lived
among the Indians in his youth,
understood their languages and habits
of thought, and dealt justly with
them.

A Conception Of Duty.

Justice George L. Genung Of the
Ninth Manhattan Municipal Court
district has been charged by the Citi.
zens' Union with "unjudicial tempera.
ment" and arbitrary and discour-
teous" treatment Of litigants and at.
torneys. In falling to indorse him
for reelection the union states that
while there Is no doubt Of his hon.
esty or legal ability, it feels that his
treatment Of persons appearing before
him has been unduly harsh. In an.
swer to these charges. Justice Genung
asserts that his object throughout his
ten years on the bench has been to
settle cases without trial and try
cases without unnecessary delay" His
statement follows:
Our calendars, as in all courts, are
filled with cases that should never
have been brought and with defenses
that should never have been inter-
posed. Such cases and defenses block
the administration Of Justice and i'm.
pede the work of the courts and,
therefore, call for drastic action.
Thieves are not entitled to the same
treatment as honest citizens at the
hands of the police. Dishonest liti.
gants are not entitled to the same
treatment as honest litigants, If in
my zeal to carry out my conception
Of duty my treatment Of litigants and
lawyers has appeared arbitrary it
may be charged to my conviction that
such litigants and lawyers were seek
Ing to block the orderly administra.
ton OF justice by bringing actions
without value and interposing de.
lenses without merit. Impatience with
such methods. and firm disapproval of
delay. should rather. in my opinion,
evoke favorable comment than ad.
verse criticism.
From this statement it would an.
pear that the Citizens Union is of on
the wrong foot in attempting to re-

Complete Refutation,

one or the chief talking points
against the establishment of compul.
sorry automobile insurance in the Dis.
trict has been that the insurance law
or Massachusetts,, similar to the pro.
posed law here, is an utter failure.
This statement has been made when
ever the subject was brought up rela-
tive to District compulsory insur-
ance statute. Those who have given
this news to guileless Washingtonians
have even stated that compulsory in
surance in Massachusetts had de.
creased registration and increased &C.
cidents and was an absurd sort of a
thing from beginning to end. For the
lack Of better information on condi.
tions in Massachusetts,. the local pop.
ulace accepted as gospel this state.
ment Of affairs.
An investigation, however, was
started by The Star in order to check
up on the accuracy Of these state.
ments, and from Frank Goodwin, reg.
istrar Of motor vehicles, and Wesley
E. Monk. commissioner Of insurance,
the two men charged with carrying
out the compulsory insurance law in
Massachusetts,, come expressions that
refute, in their entirety, every charge
against the new law. Not only is the
statute complete success, say these
officials, but accidents have decreased
materially.
Although not designed as a safety
measure in any sense Of the word. but
solely to provide compensation for the
sixty-six per cent Of hitherto uncom.
pensated victims Of automobile acct.
dents. the officials point out that the
compulsory insurance law, in its ten
months operation, has established the
financial responsibility of every motor
vehicle owner; reduced automobile
mishaps in all sections of the State;
provided an effective and simple meth.
cd OF eliminating the habitually reck.
less. negligent or careless driver, and
driven the ill-conditioned and dilapi.
dated automobile to the junk heap
after every other method had failed.
The compulsory insurance law,
therefore. accomplishes all Of the
things that any intelligent student of
traffic could desire. It takes Off the
road the driver with q bad record; no
insurance company will insure him,
and he can neither drive nor own an
automobile. That in itself will de-
crease accidents. It goes further than
that, however, in that 1t provides
compensation in every case for the
innocent participant in q motor acct.
dent, and when it is realized that out
Of twenty-five thousand accidents and
seven hundred and f1fty.five deaths in
the Bay State in one year only one
third Of the sufferers were able to sc.
cure compensation, 1t is apparent that
the law came to Massachusetts none
too soon.
1t is a sane law. and within the
decade it will probably be effective in
every State in the Union and the Dis.
trict Of Columbia. The day Of the
