Strange But True

More persons are ac-
cidentally killed in farm
work than in any other oc-
cupational pursuit. The
National Safety Council esti-
mates that 1000 were killed
in 1884 agricultural mishaps
as compared with 1900 in
manufacturing and 2300 in
construction.
Fire arms account for
800 accident fatalities each
year according TO the Ma
tional Safety Council Ii is
significant that 50 percent
of the victims are between
the ages of 10 and %.
$4,000 persons were killed
on the high ways in automo-
bile accidents in 1884.
Automobile accidents re-
sulting fatally showed an in

crease in the rural areas dur

A few years ago, the
government offered a new

would build a house of

AGREEMENT NEAR.
Drafts Already Being Pre-

BY the Associated Press.
Following c osely the recommenda-
ton Of special cabinet committee
that voluntary agreement be reached
between Japan and the United States
on the matter of textile markets, 1t
was revealed yesterday that drafts
of such an agreement already are
being prepared.
Secretary of State Hull and Hirosi
Saito, Japanese Ambassador, initiated
the negotiations in discussion Of the
general phases of the problem, it was
learned, with other representatives
of both nations carrying on the task
of preparing the actual terms Of
agreement.
American cotton textile maufac-
turers have protested vigorously
against the capture Of American and
Filipino markets by Japanese textiles
and demanded protective action by
this Government.
Tariff Barrier Considered.
The Philippine Legislature, on
recommendation Of Gov. Gen. Frank
Murphy, also has considered raising
a tariff barrier against Japanese tex
tiles as a remedy.
officials declined to reveal what
limitation or restriction suggestions
and proposals have been made in the
discussions. But they admittedly are
attempting TO reach an agreement
by which the Japanese, who have
captured the lions share of the
islands market in the last two years,
will make a percentage reduction In
their shipments.
Voluntary restrictions on exports
of lead pencils and rag rugs to the
| United States were imposed by the
Japanese as a result Of previous con-
| ferences, In which that control
method was employed to solve q
question which might otherwise have
developed into a trade war.
U. S. Textiles Gain Ground.
Although the japanese made con-
siderable inroads into American sales
in the Philippines last year, the lat
est available figures show that Amer
ican textiles have regained some Of

also is secretary of the Washington

The Commissioners are expected to
start plans soon for administration OF

1t is expected the Commissioners

ANNAPOLIS, August 27.-The use
of gill nets in the Chesapeake Bay
was declared a violation of the law
today in a decision handed down in
the Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court by Judge Linwood L. Clark.
The ruling was made in the case
of w. C. Jackson, fisherman Of Thigh
man Island, who was charged with
fishing by use of destructive devices
similarly to drag nets or drag seines
hauled by power boats
The fisherman also was accused Of
thrashing the water to scare the fish
into the net.
jackson was fined SIS, but his
equipment was not confiscated. For
mer Judge Robert Moss and Benja-
min Michaelson, counsel for Jackson,
announced that they would appeal the
cases to the three judges of the fifth
judicial circuit The appeal cannot go
to the Court of Appeals since it origi-
mated in a Magistrates Court and its
appearance before Judge Clark is con-
sidered as an appeal from ruling Of
the lower court.
jackson and three other fisher
men, were arrested in Herring Bay
on August l9. BY agreement, the
charges were dropped against all but
Jackson.
The State, after Judge Clark's de-
cision, settled charge against Jack
son Of "thrashing the water inside
the net with oars. poles. sticks and
power boats for the purpose Of driv-
ing fish into the nets"
The charge was brought before the
court as a test case The fishermen
have been using the new type of
net in an effort to get around the

eral have protested and the arrests
were made by the State conservation
officers. e.
