JAPANESE COMPETITORS
IN OYSTER BUSINESS

Sea-food interest of the Eastern
Shore are becoming alarmed over the
activity of Japanese competitors, who
they say are continuing to bid for a
share of the sea-food business by
quoting prices on frozen fresh oys-
tiers at delivered price which con-
petes with domestic producers.
This information was laid before
Senator Radcliffe by j. M. Clayton,
Cambridge sea-food dealer, who said

that 1--WE have given the matter little
thought as it appeared impractical
to ship oysters frozen yet we know
that it damages shucked oysters very
little to freeze them. if they are
thawed out in cold water"
He also told Senator Radcliffe that

ing and is real menace to the oyster
producing sections of the country, and
we cannot compete with the cheap

Rose Hedge Keeps Trespassers
Off Property, Says Florist

Before he left his native land,
Springer had been a florist In Stutt-
CART, so miles from his home town of
Rosenfelt, and in Switzerland; had
cared for the gardens of Rector Sperl
of Munich University and had served
three years in the Imperial German
Army.
Since 1928. however. Springers had
been emigrating to America. Conrad
Springer's great uncle Philip had
sailed across the Atlantic in 1928,
made the difficult trip to the frontier
of Kentucy and settled in Louisville.
His brother -in-law carried guns for
the Virginia Militia when it gathered
at Harper's Ferry to repell John Brown
and his raiders. One part OF the
family settled in Delaware and owned
land which now is included in the
Dupont estates.
Conrad Springer went first to Louis
vile, where he continued as florist.
He moved to Washington in 1893 and
worked first for John Saul. leading
florist of the Capital Of that day, and
then became florist at the United
States Reform School. After marrying
the daughter of Leonhard Goetz and
Barbara Goetz, who came TO the
United States from Wurtenberg in
1856, he settled on the property he
cares for to this day.
Some times I would like to 60 back
to Germany" he chuckled yesterday,
but Mrs. Springer wants to stay
right here. She doesn't like water
travel"

HEART PROVES
LARGER THAN HIS PURSE
Discovery of $102 Total Checks
Offer to Pay Water Bill of
Needy Woman.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May LAp.-The heart
Of Circuit Judge G. Fred Rush was
touched today by the pitiful story of
a woman living under primitive con-
ditions in the heart of the city-but
he managed to save most of his pocket
book.
Mrs. Julia Wallace, threatened with
eviction from an apartment building
in which she formerly had an equity,
pleaded that her family was on relief,
none of her nine children could find
work and they obtained water by
carrying it from neighbours because
Of an unpaid bill.
I'll enter an order that you be
allowed to live there without paying
rent as long as 1 am on the bench"
said the judge. Then he added: I'll
pay the water bill myself and have
service restored"
But when the woman returned with
the bill, he nearly tumbled from his
seat. 1t amounted to $102.60.
I'll see what I can do" he said,
handing her IS bill.

II you want to keep neighbors of
your property, the method recon-
mended by an expert is to plant ram
bier roses along your fence.
This advice was contained in a let
ter to The Star from Conrad Spring
er, florist since the early l880s, in
refutation of his neighbors' stories
that he used poison ivy.
THE poison ivy story is mistake, VI
wrote the man who for 40 years has
been raising flowers for sale in his
green house on Gates road. 1T was
hedge of red gambler roses, still in
existence. The old wire fence would
not hold some of the mean neigh
bors. The experiment worked and
can be recommended.
The huge-framed German flower
lover last night scotched another ru-
NOR current among Gates road resi-
dents to the effect that he came TO
Washington with Coxey's army, and
then he launched into an interesting
recital of his own history and the
history Of the walled town of Rosen-
felt, where he was born, in the Black
Forest of Wurtemburg, near the east
bank of the romantic Rhine.
You might say Coxey's army was
a rebellion against the Government, "
he told reporter. He stood in the
yard of the frame house he moved
into in 1896, five years after he came
to the United States, and which. If
Mrs. Springer has her way. he will
never leave. I've never joined any
revolutionary movement. I've too
much sense for that"

STRIKING SEAMEN
EXPELLED BY UNION
Action Against Curran's Outlaw
Group Bars Men From 80
Ship Lines

0u1 4luCS.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2.-David Z.
Grange. vice president Of the Inter-
national Seamen's Union, announced
today the expulsion Of Strike Chair
man Joseph A. Curran and 10 other
sailor members of a rank and file
revolt which scheduled a general sea-
mems strike at the port here for
Monday.
Grange said the expulsions, to be
followed by similar proceedings against
fremen, cooks and stewards taking
part in the outlaw strike, would bar
the men named from employment on
some 80 shipping lines with union con-
tracts.
The Panama Pacific liner Califor-
MIA. on which Curran led q strike at
a San Pedro, Calf, pier In March,
sailed today with a full crew after
being withdrawn from service for ~
days. The previous sailing was can
celled because Of the strike.
| A hundred pickets paraded her pier
today at departure time, but there was
no violence. The line said the only
requirements were some deck hands
and engine room workers.
A suit by union executives to en-
join Curran from identifying his group
with the unions name. was to be re-
sumed Monday after failure of the
presiding Judge TO achieve an amicable
settlement in chambers.
