No Tuberculosis Sanitarium
 Hope for the establishment of a tuberculosis sanitarium vanish~! last night whcn the board of finance and tXation declined to make the necessary appropriation, automati- cally tabling the measure at least until the next budget is drafted.
 Dr. Louis J. Dumont superin- tendcnt of health, had been given virtual assurance that the money would be granted when he left the meeting, it is said, and he planned 10 call the health board to meet today 10 draft formal rccommcnda- lOns to the common council.
 Members had discussed the spc- cial tax of onc-fGth of q mill which would provide $23,G00. Of this amount, $l5,00O was to be given to- ward park Improvements, and the balance used on the hospital build ing. With this amount, the board planned to place the amount remain ing in the vencreal disease clinic ac- count after equipment, cost about SSOo, had been purchased. Repair items alone exceed 5000, and if the health department begins the work of renovation, it cannot be complet- ed with the fund at hand Chair man F. r. Hall of the finance board does not favor making a start when work cannot be finished, and Dr. Dumont agrees.
 Dr. Dumont Explains
 Mayor Paonessa who had nladr an effort to have the state share maintenance costs, but was told no appropriation was available for this work invited Dr. Dumont to last nights meeting to discuss the mat ter.
 The health department super Intcndcnt spoke of the wisdom of having the building in rcp3 r in the event Of epidemic, and told of the important curative work that can be done in tuberculosis cases.
 Replying 10 questions. Dr. Du- mont fixed the number of consump- lives in New Britain at BIO, of which more than 100 have applied 4ol dlHllSSlOn to SanllHrlu, l , of whom are ready to go into the city hospital as soon as it is opened. The cost Of treatment was fixed at $50 a week for each patient
 When it became known that thc 5000 for a venereal disease clinic has not been spent, it was agreed that the balance left after equip ment is purchased, should be used for this hospital.
 Furnishing Dr. Dumont with the financial table, members asked him if he could maintain the building until the opening of the next fiscal year. He answered affirmatively. and was excused from the meeting, expecting favorable action.

 Attorneys for defense made the following statement relative to the case:
 Neither MT. Koroff's person ality, citizenship nor status in any particular figures largely in the matter. He just happens to be the individual who directly suffers from misconstruction of a statutory enactment. And while the consequences are seri- ous to him, that phase is of a trivial consequence in itself com pared to the menace to society involved in the judicial perver- sion of the law. If even the low Hest human creature living un- der our flag can be arrested up on a doubtful charge admittedly involving no moral guilt, and then be imprisoned upon mere suspicion of other offenses with which he is not judicially charg- ed, it is a matter of vast concern to every citizen who values his own reputation, liberty and pro perty rights.
 The circumstances that MT. Koroff pleaded guilty, that he frankly admitted he owned a pistol which he kept in a drawer in his cabin, cannot be accept ed as an act destructive of the game birds and animals the law lis solely designed to protect. The lplea of guilty will present some technical difficulties, but I think

HOOVER SHOULD DO BETTER

About this time, eight years ago, Warren G. Harding was en- gagged in the same task which now couples President-elect Hoover-the selection of 8 Cab inet. On March 4, 1921, Hard ing submitted his list and it was confirmed by the Senate. It in- cluded the following names:
 Harry M. Daugherty,
 Attorney General. Will H. Hays,
 Postmaster General . Edwin Denby,
 Secretary of the Navy. Albert B. Fall,
 Secretary of the Interior John w. Weeks,
 Secretary of War 1AAA04CW w. NACAAOA1,
 Secretary of the Treasury. Daugherty made the Depart ment of Justice a rendezvous for criminals, was exposed by Sem ator Wheeler, and retired in dis grace. Fall and Denby signed the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills leases to the naval oil reserves before they had scarcely warm ed their Cabinet chairs. Hays paid off the Republican cam paign deficit of 1920 with Lib- erty Bonds accumulated as a corruption fund in the leasing of Teapot Dome, with Weeks and Mellon assisting him in concealing this fraud upon the party and the country.

that experience is the best and the only teacher. I built and operated the Trask and Kla- math Falls Hatcheries for the State of Oregon in 1909 and 1913, and as Superintendent launched the pond rearing sys- tenn March 11th of that year. (See Tilla mock Headlight). Now listen, built some dandy little ponds good enough to swim in. They now have the same kind, at dear old Bonne- vile Hatchery on the Columbia, Oregon, where they raise mil lions of young salmon, taken from eggs shipped from Alaska. They are kept in these small gravelike ponds for a period of two years, and then distributed at the cost of about one dollar per fish, four inches long. If they ever should return, are they coming back to those same ponds when matured for spawn ing? Now I don't believe this, neither does the poor fish.
 In retaining ponds for young salmon it is always customary to put a screen in the lower end of the pond to keep the young salmon in and trout and other enemies out. Now when the in stinct of the salmon asserts it. self, he wants and must have his freedom to go to his future home, the sea. AND IF YOU YOU COMPEL HIM TO RE MAIN IN THIS POND HE BE- COMES STUNTED IN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND OF COURSE, DIES.
 Take for example, one hun dred thousand salmon to be held in pond for 9. period of two years in order to protect them until they were good sig ed fish before being liberated. The following results will take place: CD Because of the lack of natural microscopic food, found in all tundra water, and that cannot be artif1cially re- produced, all artificial pond fish go bad sooner or later, usually about the third month. 2. All salmon pass from fresh to salt water by an instinct of nature. They never have consulted any human being as to that time, for they have their own fixed sched- ule, rain or shine, high or law water. (3). And if they cannot go at their own specified time of the year, they either die, be- cause you have them penned up against their better instinct, Tor you have stunted their development and growth for all time to come; and worse still, by continuous confinement and un- natural food, freedom and en- vironment, YOU HAVE INTER- FERRED ALSO WITH THE RE- PRODUCTIVE ORGANS AND LIBERATED BARREN FISH. THE RESULT IS THAT THOU
