the State Sentinel and Delawarean

having been the law offices for many
years, of Edward Ridgely, and Henry

building prior to their admission to
the bar, among them Chancellor
Josiah o. Wolcott, Henry Ridgely,

SEEK UNIFORM FISHING LAWS
Give Up Attempts to Regulate Della
ware Bay Fisheries

Enactment of uniform laws by New
Jersey and Delaware for the regula-
ton Of fishing in the Delaware river,
is the goal toward which the Della
ware Fish Commission, appointed sew
eral years ago by Governor Denney,
is now concentrating its efforts. Hope
of ever agreeing on and securing con-
current legislation to regulate fishing
in the Delaware Bay has been practi-
cally abandoned by the fish commits
sions Of this State and New Jersey,
but agreement on uniform legislation
SO far as the river is concerned seems
assured.
The Delaware commission now has
before the State Legislature a bill
which would govern fishing in the
river. A similar bill will in all like
lihood receive favorable action in New
Jersey if it is passed in this State, ac-
cording to the fish authorities of the
other State.
The compact Of 1905 between the
two States, which was ratified BY
Congress, stipulated that there" must"
be common right of fishery in the
river and "may" be concurrent Iegis-
lation on the bay. The compact also
defined the dividing line between the
river and the bay, the line extending
from Liston's point, on the Delaware
side, to Hope creek, on the New Jer-
sey side.
While the compact was effected in
1905, no common right of fishery has
been established by law in Delaware
and New Jersey up to this time. 1t
was to bring about an agreement be
tween the two States respecting both
the river and bay that the Delaware
Fish Commission was appointed. "A
similar commission was appointed at
the same time by New Jersey.
Since their appointment, the mem
bers of the Delaware commission have
almost continuously conducted nego-
tiations with the fish authorities of
New Jersey, but their efforts as re-
CARDS the bay have been fruitless.
Menhaden fishing is one of the ser
ious bugaboos in regard to the bay
New Jersey has on its bay coast large
menhaden fishing centers and, it
seems, the best menhaden grounds in
the bay are on the Delaware side to
which the New Jersey men come.
The members of the Delaware COM
mission are ]. Hall Anderson, of Do
yer, and F. D. Bender and Harris
Samonisky of Wilmington.
Attorney General Clarence A.
Southerland has taken an active in
terest in the negotiations between the
commissions of the two States and
has given the Delaware commission
every aid possible in its efforts to
come to terms with the commission
of the other State. He made several
trips to Trenton to confer with the
attorney generals office of New Jer-
sey and has held numerous confer
ences with the members of the Del
aware body.

VOIKOFF'S SLAYER SEEN
SURE OF DEATH PENALTY
Special Court at Warsaw to Try
Monarchist Student Who
Killed Soviet Envoy.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
WARSAW, Poland, June 13.-An Of
fetal inquiry has been completed into
the assassination in Warsaw last week
of Peter Voikoff, Soviet minister to
Poland, and it was decided that the
assassin, a young Russian Monarchist
student, Boris Kowceda, shall be
placed on trial quickly before a spe-
cial court. The general opinion is that
he will be sentenced to death.
Poland sent a note to the Russian
authorities expressing regret for the
assassination of M. Voikoff. The re-
ply Of NJ. Litvinoff, acting Soviet for
eign commissar, as made public at
Moscow, asked Poland to take neces-
sary measures for a full investigation
of the assa ssination and all the rami-
f1cations of the plot and to impose
strict punishment on those guilty, es-
pecially the actual assassin. 1t was
stated that Poland must take imme-
date and stern measures to dispense
terrorist organizations and persons in
Polish territories whose activities are
directed against the Soviet Union and
expel them from the Polish republic
The compensation offered the Voikoff
family was declined.
