-IGHT boat captains and 16
l. members of their crews were
placed under arrest in Herring
A Bay Monday and Tuesday
charged with illegal fishing. Taken
before Justice of the Peace Burns at
Shady Side, Md, the eight cap
tains were released on bond and their
cases will come before the october
term of the Circuit Court at Annapolis.
The members of the crews of the
boats were released, but warned not
to board similar boats until the case
is tried.
The Maryland Conservation De-
partment is confident 1t has q good
case against the men, as the attorney
general of Maryland has ruled that
both purse nets and drag nets are
illegal. The men claim they were
using a drag net and not q purse
net. but pursuant to the action of
Judge Burns their boats and equip
ment will be held until the trial in
October.
This column has been waging
campaign against illegal fishing and
last week called upon the Maryland
Conservation Department and re-
quested that patrol boats be sent to
Herring Bay, Solomons Island and
Southwest Middles.
A NEW sporting organization to be
known as the Southern Mary
land Anglers Club is being formed
at Annapolis, headed by Mayor Louis
N. Phipps.
According to Mayor Phipps the new
organization will sponsor legislation
to protect fish in Chesapeake Bay
from purse nets, for, he asserts, more
people have lost employment through
use of the purse nets than have gained
work. In past years many people at
Annapolis, he said, have gained
livelihood by taking out fishing par
ties. This sindustry now is negligible
and for every person using the purse
nets 20 lose employment in catering
to the wants of the anglers.
The State patrol boats have been
arresting persons who violate the net
law, but the practice continues.

THEY DON'T LIKE 1T

7 seems that the patrons of Uncle Sans ex-
L pensive new rest cure on Alcatraz Island in
San Francisco Bay are far from satisfied with
the service these days.
Some enterprising journalist recently con-
tacted gentleman who had just ended an ex-
tensive stay at the Alcatraz resort. This man,
who used to be prominent in Chicago racket
circles, says that Alcatraz is decidedly unlike
other prisons.
There are no radios, no newspapers, no
privileges of any kind" he complains. Not a
word can be spoken by any of the convicts in
line at the table. at work, or in their cells. On
Saturday afternoons this restriction is re-
moved, when the convicts are allowed in the
yard. They can talk then from to $780,
When the convicts file through the cafe
terra for meals. each one has to eat everything
that he puts on his tray. If he fails he gets
punished. If he buys magazine the warden
tears out whole pages to shield him from stor-
les about crime prisons or detectives.
All letters are rewritten to prevent the use
of codes. A convict may receive one visit
month"; from a relative, and must converse
through a plate glass wall by means of
speaking tube.
Its as near escape proof as anything can
be made" the prisoner adds. Its the toughest
pen I've ever seen. The hopelessness of it gets
you AL Capone feels it. Everybody does You
know you'll never get a parole There's no
chance there for anybody-only that God-aw-
full silence that gets on your nerves"
All of this leads one to believe that the Fed
eral authorities used some real intelligence
when they put Alcatraz prison together.
Ordinary prisons can not be run on such
rigid lines. They contain huge numbers of
short-termers; men. who will presently be back
in ordinary life again, and who must be han
died in such way that they will have a fair
chance to become decent law-abiding citizens
once more A too hard-boiled regime, making
them feel depressed and resentful, defeats its
own aim.
But Alcatraz is different. 1t gets no first
offenders or short-terrners. Its doors open
only to real tough guys-the men whom it is
idle to reclaim" for honest society. These men
understand just one kind of language.
As general thing, it is probably true that
discipline in American prisons is too severe
and unyielding But not at Alcatraz. The kid
napers, murderers, racketeers and bank rob-
bers who make up its clientele can't be han
died with kid gloves.

that if the pigs had not been taken out of

the 1884 short corn crop that prices would be

Triple A shows that the price spread from
