 March First

American and Canadian halibut fishing fleets of the North Pacific Coast will delay operations until March l as a result of a vote of the Fishing Craft Owners Associa- ton, according to Associated Press reports received by The Empire.

was when he had reported in at
headquarters after the nights work
and learned of the report concern
ing the yellow car that had been
received after he had gone out on
his beat the night before.
When the information that a
long, yellow roadster had been seen
leaving the marked road was re-
ceived by the officer on the desk
Tuesday night, he shook his head,
entered the report on the book, and
went through the usual routine in
an effort to check back on the pay
station from which the call had
come. But he was, this police Off
Ger, little emt arraSSed as he did
so, for he was quite convinced that
the whole thing was practical joke
And there was some ground for
this suspicion when you stop to con-
slider that until now, and including
this last bit of anonymous testi-
mony, the police had no proof that
there had been murder, only thu
note scrubbed to the superintendent,
such evidence as the detectives had
gathered on the Snow-covered road,
ard this last call.
In the absence of anything more
than the original note, it is only
reasonable that the matter would
have been dropped and forgotten,
for it is not rational to look for a
murderer when one does not know
there has been a murder.

bloodshed, though, of course, it
may have been nothing more Sc

nection between the note and the
blood-stained leaves; but, on the
other hand connection was i'm
piled and this was enough to keep
the police interested, though not
enough to keep them from being
skeptical. This telephone call about
the yellow car :. it merely added
little zest to the problem on paper.
There we're many long, yellow
roadsters in Connecticut; quite a
number in Waterbury, in fact; and
even if the informer had been tell

eventually discovered, was it not
