BELL IS NAMED HIN SUIT FILED
 BY HARRIS & co.
Latter Seeks to Enjoin Commissioned Bell from
 Closing Best Trap

In an effort to have set aside the order effecting the closure oi it's Anchor Cove fish trap in the False Pass region, P. E. Harris and Company last Saturday filed suit ir the Federal District Court of the Third Division, at Seward, seeking an injunction to stay the enforce ment of the closure.
 The action was started by J. A Hellenthal of this city after nego- tiations they started with Commis- sioner Frank T. Bell had proved futile. The Commissioner and every agent and officer of the Bureau of Fisheries, as we'll as peace of- ficers of the Territory, are named as defendants.
 Says Is Discriminatory
 The complaint supporting the pe- tition for injunction characterizes the order as void because it is dis criminatory because it doesn't apply to other traps taking fish from the same schools of fish in the same neighborhood It also raises a question of the constitutionality of the present Alaska fisheries law because of alleged arbitrary powers exercised under it, and because Congress attempted to delegate leg islative powers to the Secretary of Commerce. It claims that the Federal Constitution vests all leg islative authority in Congress alone and that the Congress cannot dele gate that power to any admin istrative or executive officer.
 Most Efficient Trap
 The company ayers that the East Anchor Cove trap involved is "the most efficient" one it owns and supplies about 25 per cent ol the salmon canned" at its False Pass plant. It fixed it's value without regard to it's value as g part of the plant" at $100,000, and that it is an indispensable part of that plant. Last year, it is understood, the trap caught more than 100000 salmon, most of the red variety.
 The complaint further alleges that the closure is part of an at tempt on the part of the Pacific Salmon Corporation to coerce the Harris company into selling the False Pass cannery to itself and eventually to acquire the ownership of the trap site.
 Not for Conservation
 It asserts that the closure is not necessary for conservation of the salmon runs of the immediate vi- cinity or in Bristol Bay. It ad- vances the theory that the runs of fish from which the trap takes toll are not American fish but run to spawning beds in Siberia. The company undertakes to show by tagging experiments conducted by the United States Bureau of Fish, cries in the district that few of the fish go to the Bristol Bay spawning grounds.
 The order reyoking the trap site permit was signed by the Secretary of Commerce on May IT, a few days after a hearing was held in Washington, D. O., which was at tended by MT. Harris. This order is declared by the company to have been issued without justification and that it results in the taking of property, especially that of the plaintiff, without due process in violation of the provisions of the Federal Constitution"

ROB AGED NEGRO OF $4,000
"Uncle Ned" Rogers, Old Slave, IOl
Years Old, Killed at Easton, Md.

'Uncle Ned" Rogers, thought to
be the oldest ex-slave on the East
ern Shore of Maryland, was murd-
cred by burglars at his home at
Easton, Nd, Saturday night. The
half-blind, defenseless old negro,
whose age was said to be 1O1, was
killed in his bed. His skull was
split open, probably by a blow
from a pipe. Apparently the bur
glars got what they were after,
for it was generally believed that
the old man kept from $500 to
$1,000 hidden in his house. 1t was
evident that there had been at
least two men in the house. They
entered through the back windows.
It was the fifth time Uncle Ned"
had been robbed. Two years ago
burglars got S198 and almost beat
him to death. The old man re-
peatedly had been warned against
hiding money around the house
and finally put much Of his wealth
in a bank. Recently it closed with
S3.4OO Of Uncle Ned's" money on
the books. After the Civil War
"Uncle Ned" worked for the Thigh
man and Goldsborough families.
Various members Of the families
left him legacies. Since his ''re-
tirement" he lived alone in his
house On Pleasant street, Few
citizens Of Easton had more re-
spect from either the white or
negro race. Sheriff Carroll has
made 40 arrest but said he'd find
the men who killed "Uncle Ned" if
it was possible for him to do so.

twenties, and were a mile from
shore in the bay when the rough
sea capsized their craft. They were
unable to right the canoe and were
forced to cling to the overturned
vessel, which was being tossed
about by the high waves. Persons
on shore, who witnessed their
plight, gave the alarm and a mo-
torboat brought them ashore.
There were about 5000 persons at

STORM DAMAGE DOWN STATE
Continued From Page One)

Beach was forced to evacuate the
into the reservation from the bay.
The soldiers made their way to
Milford At Slaughter Beach the
long fishing pier was carried away.
Some IF the cottagers made their
way on horseback over flooded
roads back to higher ground. All
persons were ordered to evacuate
Bethany Beach early last night
when a quarter of a mile section
Of the boardwalk gave way under
the terrific battering of waves
which poured far into the town.
The National Guard Camp nearby
was flooded. Ocean resrts in Del
aware and Maryland were being
evacuated as huge waves poured
in. smashing boardwalks and flood
ing cottages. Ocean City, Md,
which is on an island, was flooded
to a depth of three feet and was
cut off from the mainland when
the bridge was carried away.
Rehoboth Feels Effect of Storm
Mountainous waves smashed over
the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach,
undermining its substructure and
tearing away steps leading to the
beach. A 60-foot section of the
boardwalk was carried away. The
water swirled through the streets
Of the town and in many cases
flooded the ground floors of cot
tages. At Silver Lake, which Is
divided from the ocean only by
sand bar a few hundred feet wide,
large rollers crashed across the
bar and filed the lake until it
overfiowed into surrounding
streets. Water poured into the
lowest floors Of the Hotel Henlopen
and Belhaven and battered the
fronts of some Of the cottages. The
storm played havoc with roads
throughout the Peninsula Even
the main highways were impass-
able because Of washouts and
many were under water for long
stretches. All roads north of Sal
isbury were condemned and no
vehicles were allowed on them.
Crops of all kinds were destroyed
over large areas, especially along
the Delaware Bay shore, where the
salt water was inland for nearly
three miles from kits Hammock
to Lewes. The damage to crops
in Delaware is expected to be stu
pendous. Towns throughout the
lower end of the State were iso-
lated and in many instances, were
without gas or electricity. Every
town with which communication
could be established reported food
ed streets, damaged houses and |
many trees blown over.
Legislative Building Damaged
At Dover, thousands of dollars
Of damage was done to the Legis-
lative Building completed less than /
a year ago. The building was sur
rounded by six inches of water and /
the roofs of both the Senate and /
House chambers were leaking bad
.y All the offices on the east side
Of the building except those occu-
pied by Governor Buck had sprung
eaks. Some of the pricinpal
streets in Milford were flooded by
the Mispillion River which, swollen
BY dam breaks west Of town, over
1cwer its banks and crept up over
Walnut street. A large tree crash
ID down across Walnut street just
