vORACIOUS TUNA FISH BITE ON BARE HOOKS
Clippers Crew Exhausted by Work of Hauling in
 Catch

San Diego, Cal, March 26 Pl-- The crew of the good ship Nayi- gator, a fishing clipper, was back home today telling about run of giant tuna with such voracious ap- netites that they bit at tin cans, bare hooks and pieces of cloth.
 Th" hsi men brought back 1S0 tons of yellow fin tuna in the re- frigerating space of the Navigator as evidence. The big fish were taken off Cocos island in the Pacific 2,400 miles south of San Diego.
 So rayenous were the big tuna that the fishermen threw away the 150,000 sardines which they had taken along as bait.
 Captain M K. Freitas of the Nav igator said that the fishing ground was apparently new to fishing boats. Fish were caught faster than they could be put in refrigeration and men collapsed from the heat if they worked more than three, hours at stretch. Twelve men working in three pole teams started catching. and two men tried to stow, away fish as caught. Inside half an hour one crew was taken off to help stow fish,

Washington, March 26 R)-Anti. prohibitionists were accused today at the house judiciary committees dry law hearing by r. Scott Me- Bride, superintendent of the Anti Saloon League. of having failed to prove three essential propositions in presenting their case for repeal of the eighteenth amendment.
 He said the propositions were:
 That the eighteenth amend- inent had failed.

 3-That the prohibition group had a constructive program with which to solve the drink problem McBride insisted the testimony of the vets had failed to answer these propositions.
 Canada's experience with govern- meut control of liquor was cited to- day at the prohibition hearing as g. warning to the United States not to embark upon such plan. F. c.

 Actually, it has been closed since Saturday night, whos the proprietor, Frank Leung, decided, with Oriental calm. that this business of catering to New Britain palatcs was hardly worth the effort.

POPE TELLS MISSION
 WORKERS TO STAY ON
Remain at Posts" Order to Churchmen in Chinese
 Trouble

Vatican City, March 26 LTp-"Re- main at your posts" is the order that continues to go out from here to 21S American Catholic missionaries and thousands of others of various natfonalities in restless China, des- pite the ominous, thin-ice conditions there and the recent murder of two missionaries, including an Italian bishop.
 The Natican's attitude during the last seven years of increasing diff culty in China has been unwavering, although 24 priests, including three Americans, have lost their lives in their heroic struggle to convert the Chinese. Pope Plus four years ago issued a personal appeal to the mis- sionaries to stand fast, and today he maintains the same position.
 Numbers in China
 Figures of the Fides service of the propaganda fide, which controls the enormous missionary work of the Catholic church, show there arc 1.- tl5 foreign priests, 9SS foreign re- ligious sisters, and 2O1 foreign re- ligious brothers working in China. Added to these arc 1,132 native priests, 2,029 sisters and 176 broth CTS.
 One of the reasons why there Is to be no fiinching ip the ranks of the missionaries is, that already in China there are 2,373,677 Catholics, and the number is healthily growing. A Catholic hierarchy has grown up. consisting of 70 bishops, of whom Il

Trumbull Discusses Facts Found With Meriden Institutions
 Board Of Trustees Today
FINDINGS STILL SECRET;
 SOME OF CHARGES TRUE
Health Boards Checkup May Be Basis For Legislative Recom- mcndations-Execu Personal Commission Examined 60 of Boy Inmates During Hearings, Officials Admit.

Hartford, March es P}-Condi- tions which have existed in the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden, as revealed by the several inquiries made by the school trus- tees, the state department of public welfare through it's executive secre- tary, the state department of health and, more important than all, through commission named by him, arc known to Governor John 1T. Trumbull, who this afternoon discussed them with the trustees. Yesterday afternoon the governor was handed the report of his own commission by the chairman, Judge George H. Day, and met the com mission in his office for a verbal re- view of the evidence which has been incorporated in the report.
 May Recommend Changes
 The survey by the state health de- partment had to do with sanitary and hygienic conditions at the insti- tuition and it's report will be one on which legislation proposed at the next general assembly may be based, as the. charge had been made from time to time that state mainte- nance allowances have been too mea- gre for an institution of this size.
 Gov. Trumbull indicated today that none of the reports will be made public until he had thorough 1y digested them, to arrive at a clear knowledge of conditions, and whether the commission and the school trustees had found evidence to prove charges of brutality and inhumanity in caring and handling of the lads in the school. Although the inquiry into school conditions has been prolonged one and prob ably wide in it's scope, very little information as to nature of the evil dence has come out.
 The governors commission made up of Judge Day, Judge Walter M. Pickett and William X. Hendrick Of New Haven moved faster in probing conditions than the others, due, it was explained, to the fact that the three members on it are trained in examination and cross examination,
