FISHERMEN SEEK TO
CATCH SURGEONS MATE

The catching of large sturgeon
in the Nanticoke River early Satur-
day morning is expected to be an in
centive for fishermen to double their
efforts in the hope that another of
this specie may be lurking in these
waters. The sturgeon was caught by
Hartzell S. Walker of Blades, and Ed
gar Lloyd of Seaford, who were shad
fishing with a float seine. 1t measur-
ed six feet and six inches in length
and weighed 1T pounds.
While the huge fish afforded choice
steaks for large number of citizens
it was buck and contained no cavair,
an expensive luxury. Old fishermen
say that as a rule the female ac-
companies the male fish, and in
hopes of snaring the more valuable
female which contains the cavair, it
is more than likely that fishermen
will double their efforts.
Fishermen in that vicinity have ex-
perienced much trouble this season
with their nets being mysteriously
cut and torn and it is believed that
with the catching of the sturgeon this
difficulty will be partly eliminated.
This is the first sturgeon caught this
far up the Nanticoke River for over
Is years.
The prevalence of continued cold
easterly winds is playing havoc with
shad fishermen on the Nanticoke Riv-
er. A catch of 80 shad per boat in
one nights work is considered a good
average due to the adverse weather
conditions. Fishermen report the
catch of roe shad exceeds that of
bucks. Last week the prevailing price
on the river was 20 cents for bucks
and 45 cents for roes.

FELIX WARBURG,
BANKER, IS DEAD
Head of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
SuccumbS to Heart Attack
in New York Home.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 20.-Felix M.
Warburg. Sc, member of the powerful
banking family of two continents and
a noted philanthropist, died here to-
day shortly before l pm. He was
president of Kuhn, Loeb g. Co.
Death occurred at his Fifth avenue
home. Shortly before his death his
Office said that he had been confined
to his home for few days suffering
from a slight heart attack. Members
of the family were at his bedside.
Member of a family famous in in
ternational banking, Mr.. Warburg
amassed fortune and then devoted a
large share of time to social service,
both in the United States and abroad.
Better education for the youth of
America, help for distressed co-reli-
gionists caught in the crushing pin
GERS of postwar Europe, and the for
warding of Palestine as a home land
for Jews, formed his chief phi
lanthropic interests.
Caused International Juror
He helped cause an international
Juror in October, 1880, when, with
DR.. Chain Weizmann and the late
Lord Melchett of England, he re-
signed from the Jewish Agency for
Palestine. The three quit their Of
fees as a protest against the famous
"Passfeld white paper" claiming i:
revoked Great Britain's policy of en-
couraging Jewish settlement in Asia
Minor.
Aside from incidents of this stamp
which projected him into the lime
light. Mr.. Warburg's part in the vari-
Gus causes which he espoused was gen.
orally quiet one. But in 1880, when
the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity awarded
him the Gottheil Medal as having
done the most for Judaism in the pre-
ceding year, the citation said that his
benefactions in the postwar decade
had reached S10,0O0,000
He gave freely, too, of his time. for
example, as chairman of the Ameri-
can-JeWish Joint Distribution Com
mittee formed in war days to co-ordi-
nate relief work in distressed Europe
In IS years the organization under
his leadership dispensed S80000,000
in as sections of the old world.
1T was one of the worlds outstand-
ing pieces of human engineering"
said President Hoover of this work.
Gifts for Education.
The Warburg interest in education
led him to contribute heavily to the
Fogg Art Museum and the graduate
school of education at Harvard. He
was a trustee of the Teachers College
at Columbia University, the Jewish
Theological Seminary, the American

Campbell said the entire force of
his agency is tracing shipments Of the
preparation. Its medicinal agent, he
added, is reported to be sulfanilamide.
"a newly developed drug which has
been widely used in the treatment OF
infections"
I'VE do not know as yet the ex-
PLANTATION Of the fatalities" he added.
1T has been reported that the SOL
vent diethylene glycol, is probably the
responsible agent. We do know that
there was something radically wrong"
Chemists at the National Institute
of Health said that sulfanilamide itself
has not caused any of the deaths.
They added that the diethylene glycol
sometimes used with it is akin to
radiator anti-freeze and has not been
approved for internal use.
Sulfanilamide, it was explained, has
been used successfully in the treat
ment of many diseases. including
childbed fever, scarlet fever, gonorrhea
and streptococcus infection. 1t is al
most lnsoluble.
A like appraisal of the situation was
made in Chicago by DR.. Morris Fish
bein, editor of the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. who
said laboratory experiments made it
quite evident the diethylene glycol,
not the sulfanilamide, was responsible
for the fatalities"
Present tests made in our Office and
bv the associations Council on Phar-
macy showed a solution of diethylene
glycol tested on animals had exactly
the same effect as this elixir" DR..
Fishbein said.

In every instance where the drug is
found the Agriculture Department is
obliged to notify the Justice Depart
ment, as seizures may be made only
on court order.
Thus far action has been instituted
only in Oklahoma and New York, but
