CHESAPEAKE RAY FISH
More Caught In Its Waters Than

AAAvA y N@Ps@&5AAwfeAA @srs' esss|>Ss = A~AAtsAA
Other Famous Fishing Grounds
The brakish waters OF Chesapeake
Bay produced per square mile more
than three times as much fish as
Georges Bank, the famous ocean
fishing grounds OF the New England
coast.
According to a bulletin just issued
by the United States Bureau OF Fish
cries, Chesapeake Bay and its tribu-
taries contain about 400 square
miles and produce about eleven tons
of fish per square mile. whereas
Georges Bank, with an area Of about
1000 square miles, produces only
three tons to the square mile.
More than 50,0O0,000 pounds OF
edible fish are annually taken in the
Chesapeake and, in addition, up to
5000, 100000 pounds OF menhaden.
The value Of the former is more
than $3,000,000 while the products
of the menhaden industry, chiefly
foods stuffs, amount to another ST.
600, 000.<- About 10000 persons, the
bulletin shows, earn their livelihood
in some activity connected with
Chesapeake Bay fishing.
The property, boats and gear of
the commercial fisheries represent an
investment of around $12,0OO,000
while that of menhaden industry is
about $5,000,0 900.
More than two hundred distinct
species of fish have been recorded as
inhabiting the waters Of the Chesa-
peake. After the first of November
practically all of these disappear.
leaving only few species, such as
the rock, cod, the white perch and
the common eel. Just where these
fish migrate to even the Bureau of
Fisheries experts do not profess to
know. The shad and the herring
are the first to come back after their
winter sojurn. The shad is the aris-
tocrat of the bay and represents full
ly half Of the value Of the total catch
each year. In point Of quantity the
alewife easily ranks first.
With the exception of sea bass and
the tautog, which are caught by
hand, practically all the commercial
fishing in Chesapeake Bay is done
with nets, the pound net being the
most widely used.

For the third time in three weeks,
the prosecution against William
Schiffrin, left wing worker being
held on a charge of homicide, again
asked for and secured post

The complete lack of evidence on

SIXTY WORKERS
ARE POISONED
Railroad Dishes Out
Decayed Food

Sixty workers employed by the
Lehigh Valley Railroad came down
with ptomaine poisoning early yes
terday morning after eating food
dished out at the labor camp at
Wheeler Point Road and Bay Ave-
nue. at which place they were en-
ployed.
The men were rushed to the New
ark City Hospital for treatment. 1t
is believed that canned frankfurters
unfit to eat which have been on the
shelves for long period and said
to have been purchased by the rail-
road at a reduced price, were the
cause of the poisoning. One work
er, Vincent Bamiro of Newark, is
seriously i'll and may not recover.
A patrol wagon from the Newark

PLAN BIG TRUST

ANGLO OIL WAR
Standard Oil in Bloc

Trust
Increases War Danger
Imperialist Struggle Is
Sharper

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-Mergers that
are certain not only to revolutionize
the oil industry but to sharpen the
war between the Standard Oil Com
pany and the Royal Dutch Shell are
underway, according to rumors
widely circulated in industrial quar-
ters. Both of these huge oil cor
porations are planning to absorb
chemical and dye trusts in their
worldwide struggle.
Forming Bloc.
Observers here point to the recent
conferences between Walter C..
Teagle, president of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey and Of
ficials of the German dye trust as
evidence of bloc of the American
oil and German chemical trusts.
While this merger is being con-
templated, it is stated, Sir Henri
Deterding, head of the Royal Dutch,
has been conferring with Lord Mel
chett, head of the huge British
chemical trust.
The bloc assumes especial signifi-
canoe in view of the recent efforts
on the part of the German dye trust
to produce fuel oil through the
liGuefaction of Ignite or brown coal.
Oil War to Spread.
If the rumors are correct, the oil
war between the American and
British interests will take place on
a much larger scale and will be
much sharper than ever before.
With the difference between the
United States and Great Britain
more acute as the result of the
Anglo French naval pact, the COM
bines promise to be fraught with
serious political consequences.
