ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-The
rivalry between men who fish for
sport and those who fish for a
livelihood over which group shall
catch the black bass which in
habit waters around Charles,
Kent, and Cecil counties will
come to a head tonight in the
assembly, where the black bass bill

Led by Washington county dele

strengthening their backing for
the bill, which would prohibit
commercial taking of black bass.
Professionals Busy
However, delegates from the
three counties where many resi-
dents depend upon their CONNER
cial fishing for their incomes are
also Tightening their battle lines
to prevent passage of the mea-
sure.
The bass bill had a narrow
escape as the legislature ad-
journed for the weekend, being
brought in by committee without
recommendation either way fol
lowing a tie vote. A vote to table
1t permanently was nearly success
full.
Gas Tax Up
1t is also likely that the gasoline
tax question will be threshed out
tonight if leaders figure the time
is ripe to bring the administra-

If Delegate James j. Lindsay,

State insurance Head, Held
Here on 100000 Shortage,
to Return to Nashville

Joseph I. Reece, former Ten
nessee State insurance commits
sioner arrested here Saturday on
a charge of being short more
than 100000 in his accounts,
today agreed to waive extradition
and return to Nashville.
Reece made this decision fol
lowing a conference at the Fifth
precinct headquarters where he
has been held following his arrest
Present at the meeting were Capt.
Bernard Thompson, assistant chief
Of detectives; Assistant U. S. At.
torney Charles Murray, and Jo-
seph E. Dixon, of the Nashville
police department.
Innocent, He Says
Despite his willingness to re-
turn, Reece insisted that he is
innocent of any wrong-doing, po-
lice said.
Reece, a former college dean
and slender, mild man, was not
kept in cell at the precinct, but
locked in a witness room. AS he
left this morning he turned to
the booking officer and said:s
81 wish to thank you all for
the courtesy that has been
shown me here"
Dixon said that he will confer
with Nat Upton, assistant State
attorney general who came here
with him, and that they may all
reurn to Nashville today.
Money Reported Here
First they will run down reports
that Reece has deposited large
sums of money in local banks.
If this money should be discov.
cred it will probably be i'm
pounded by the State, Dixon said.
The alleged shortage was dis
covered after Reece left office last
month following a change in
State administration.

Just as the Presidents own mother

put the matter out of his mind.
Now he grew interested, and hunted up the
correspondence again. After all, he had two
sons who-like himself-had followed railroad
ing and two daughters besides Grandchildren

it, if they were blood-relatives of the New

So that was how Thomas Severence Delano,

pierces the Nevada desert, there's munlclpal
street-sweeper who takes an almost proprietary
interest in the doings of the White House.
His name is Thomas Severance Delano, Jr.,
and he's husky, healthy Westerner 66 years
young. He's former railroad engineer. The
reason for his interest in White House affairs is
this:
"Tom" Delano has lately found out that he is
q fifth cousin of our President, Franklin Delano
'''';; The same records which established this
relationship, also prove that "Tom" Delano, the
gtreet-Sweeper, is as much "MayfloWer
descendant as President Roosevelt himself.
More than that-the same extraordinary
Delano and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also
gave them kinship with no less than five pre-
vious Presidents of. the United States! They were
John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Zachary
Taylor, Ulysses S. Grant and William Howard
Taft.
President Roosevelt himself, of course, is
sixth cousin Of yet another President the late
fathers side. The Delano connection is on his
mothers side, the Presidents mother having
been Miss Sarah Delano. "Tom" Delano OF
Sparks, Nevada, doesn't acknowledge any reIa-
tionship to "Teddy" Roosevelt except as very
remote in-law.
But that's only a small part of the story-th9
American part. A yet more romantic series OF
revelations clearly established by genealogical
proof, shows that the two American ancestors
from whom "Tom" Delano and President Roose-
welt are jointly descended had amazing-almost

erroneous habit Of pronouncing his last
name "deLAYno."
The President calls it "Dellano," with
the accent on the first syllable.
Tom was reading about the President

Shot and seriously wounded by a
gang of unidentified men, La
verne Miller, 14-year-old daughter
of a special deputy appointed dur
ing the coal mine union strife,
was in a critical condition today
as authorities sought her assailant.
The gunner opened fire from
a green sedan last night as it
passed the Miller home. One Of
the bullets struck the girl, pierc-
ing a lung, as she was studying
her school lessons. She is not
expected to live. Two other homes
adjacent to the Miller residence,
both occupied by members of the
United Mine Workers of America,
were raked by bullets.
Vernon Miller, father of the
wounded girl, is a guard at the

VIRGINIA FACES
STRONG NINE

UNIVERSITY, Va, April Z.
Virginia's baseball players face
one of the strongest college teams
in the State tomorrow afternoon
when Randolph Macon College
comes to Lambeth Field for the
third game on the season.
The Cavaliers have taken two
victories by Z to 2 scores in their
opening games. First William
and Mary was licked in Williams
burg. Then when Vermont came
to open the home schedule yester-
day the Cavaliers duplicated their
first count.
Virginia's co-captains will prob
ably form the battery. Ward
Brewer is expected to take his
turn pitching while Buck Poss
does the catching. If Brewer
doesn't pitch the mound work
will more than likely be done by
either Orlin Rogers, George
Fletcher or Palmer Lawler.
Brewer is leading the Virgin
ians at bat as the result Of his
fine hitting in the two opening
games. He has gotten five hits
out of seven times at bat. Brewer
plays right field when not pitch
ing. >,
Homer Drissel, center fielder is
next to Brewer at the bat with
four safeties in seven times up.
DrissePs home run against w.
and M. was the first for any Cav
alier this spring. Rogers, who
play in left field when not hurl-
ing, drove out the first three-base
hit in the Vermont game.
Despite what these top men
have done at the bat, Coach Gus
Tebell is far from pleased with
the hitting of the team as a
whole. He is calling for as much
batting practice as can be wedged
in between a series Of frequent
hard games. --.---A.A-4--.4.A--
