MARYLAND Black Bass.

A BOUT 10 years ago movement
= started in this country to take
that premier sport fish. the black bass,
off the markets of the Nation. AS a
result 80 States and the District of
Columbia prohibit commercial sales Of
bass regardless of where taken. and six
States prohibit sales if taken within
the State. In other words, with the
exception of Maryland and two other
States all markets are closed to black
bass.
There are at least two dozen
common fish which make better
eating than black bass. so the
housewives Of the Nation have
not been handicapped by this
movement.
But you have to go a long way to
find a fish which will furnish more
sport TO anglers or which is more
widely distributed in the streams and
rivers of the country than black bass.
For years sportsmen have tried to get
Maryland to fall in line with the con-
servation movement, but the only re-
suit has been local ordinances in Balti-

closing markets there. That Is not
much, but it is something, and now
pressure is being brought to bear to
destroy the good work done in Balti-
more with the introduction in the
City Council of Ordinance No. 976 to
repeal No. 470, or in other words, to
permit the sale of black bass.
That this is blow to conservation
lists and sportsmen is putting 1t mildly.
We pay good money for licenses, which
goes to stock streams with bass, and
it is CALLING to think that few COM
mercial interests are trying to spoil our
sport. Maryland is not the most for
ward Of the States when it comes to
conservation legislation, and if the
Baltimore sales prohibition is re-
pealed 1t will drop the State way down
near the bottom OF the heap.
Bass Prices Compared.
EOR its own interests Maryland
should see that this ordinance is
not repealed. 1t has been estimated
that bass caught by. sportsmen costs
in the way of licenses, tackle. expenses,
etc, about $3.50 a pound, while COM
mercial men cannot hope to get more
than IS cents a pound at top market.
And the opening of the Baltimore
market will give bootleggers in other
States more incentive to ply their
trade, which already Is f1ourishing in
some parts of Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania to supply the open Maryland
markets,

 Previously, records showed, he had been convicted on several charges since 1923, including assault with a dangerous weapon, attack on a young boy, and assault with intent to kill.
 Tire marks found near Neville's body in Clifford clinched identifica- ton of Long, 8 former Belmont, Mass, resident, as the possible slayer.
 Plaster of paris casts of the tire marks matched the tires on Long's car, which was found parked out- side his filling station, Elliott said. A piece had been cut form the rear seat, he said, and the edges appeared to have been burned.

ANOTHER MOVE TO GUST O'HARA

Providence, R. T., Sept. 16-(UP)- In a surprise move, a stockholder of Narragansett Park Race Track today sought a Superior Court re. ceivership petition for the track which, If granted, would oust Wal ter E. O'fIara as the $l6,0OO- a-year managing director of the S3,OOO ,OO0 racing plant. The move was dis- closed when resumed state racing commission hearing on the question of revoking the tracks license was adjourned abruptly to permit coun- sei for O'1lara and the Narragansett Racing Association, Inc, to go to Superior Court and confer with Judge Jeremiah E. O'Connell on the unexpected action.
 The receivership petition is sought by Henry F. Grove, Providence at- torney and said to be e Substantial stoclkholder in the track.

renee Reed, boarder at the Hivon home, who reported to authorities that he heard shots at the house and heard Mrs. Hivon scream. He Jumped from a window, he said, to spread the alarm. Constables and state police sped to the scene, but there was no trace of the woman's assailant.
 Hivon was released only Monday From New Haven County jail, after serving a sentence on breach of peace charge growing from an ale legged beating given his wife. While in jail he was served with divorce papers in an action brought by Mrs. fzivon. Jailers said he became moody after service of the papers. Mrs. Hivon was apparently in bed when the assailant appeared.
 House 8 Shambles
 The house, one and one half Story frame building, in poor condi- tion for 8 number of years, was more of a shambles due to the dis turbance last night.
 Several bullet slugs passed through the first story window of Mrs. zzivon's bedroom, and were imbedded tn the bed post, the walls and the ceiling. Another passed through the window of the boarder's room, Law renee Reed, imbedding itself in the ceiling also.
 Rather ironically, the body of Mrs. Hivon was found in the shadow of rose arbor. Near her body were the bullet scared oil lamp, and stock and spring of the .22 caliber gun used to shoot her first and then club her to death. A large pool of blood surrounded her.
 x It appeared that Hivon had been Intoxicated, and neighbors and friends stated today that he was a heavy drinker.

MNyon arrangement" knew that Italy was suspected of providing sub marines to aid the Nationalists.
 Italy alone of Mediterranean pow ers-excluding the Spanish combat ants and Italy's little satellite AL bania-was out of the "Nyon ar- engagement.
 There were indications that Italy, suspected as the pirate" power, might yet be included in the patrol. Dispatches from Rome seemed to hint that Italy might join if her share in patrol work were made equal to that of France and Britain.
 Sea Lanes of World
 Today'S news in situation that is just really beginning to develop, is that the French and British ships already informally on patrol, joined formally and partitioneo the most impogtant sea lanes in the world between them.
 Admiralties of Jugoslavia, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Bulgaria, Rumania and Russia issued their own police fleet orders and made arrangements to provide assistance as asked for British and French fleets.
 It was impossible to ignore that Included in these cooperating na- tions were those like Jugoslavia with which Italy seeks close cooperatoin; Turkey, which looks with disfavor on Italy's Qualifications in the Do. decanese Islands off her coast, and Soviet Russia which accuses Italy directly of being the submarine ''pirate" power. All, for the moment, were allied with Britain and France.
 Next Move Up to Italy
 The next development hinges on Italy. She may decide to take her place in the "piraet" patrol. But she ma ytake the offensive diplo- niatically and attack the patrol idea before the committee of non-inter- .Tention in the Spanish civil war. This committee may meet here Friday. There was talk today that Italy might denounce the Nyon ar- lTangement then, with Germany backing her, announce 8 boycott oi the non-intervention committee which would complete a diplomatic isolation that keeps her from at- tending League of Nations meetings
 Tn the background was a thirc development the visit of Pre- mier Mussolini to Fuehrer Adoll Hitler of Germany late this month probably September "A.
 British and French ledaers be- lieved the mere presence of then patroling fleets had nded tn "pl- rate" submarine campaign If they art proven wrong the grave news might be flashed to the world al any hour that a British or French warship had captured or sunk d submarine identified as Italian.

 Proposed Ordinance
 The proposed ordinance stated that, in addition to being given tile power to license public museums and exhibitions for the cost of $5, the superintendent would require the sponsors to specify the nature Of the act to be done and other particulars; to investigate the cir- cumstances and alsho provides that the superintendent shall not issue q license if his investigation indi. cates that breach of the peace or any other violation Of the law may occur. The union feels that under this regulation the superin- tendent would have too much "dis. cretionary power".

any threat of war a matter of con- cern and take preventative action, and the principle of inviting non- member nations like Japan to par ticipate in any discussions regarding them.
 What China Hopes
 China hopes not only to force league application of these articles but eventually to apply the drastic article XVI providing for penalties against an aggressor, and also to enlist United States cooperation through rejuvenation of an old ad- visory committee, formed after Ja- pan seized Manchuria, on which the United States accepted member ship in an observers role.
 Let it be recalled" Koo said, "that Japan's policy aims not only at political domination and conquest of China but also extermination of foreign interests wherever Japanese swords hold sway; and the eventu- al expulsion of Europe and the Uni ted States from their territorial possessions.
 Japan Menace Dangerous
 "If the league and the great pow CTS fail to support China, then the menace of Japanese aggression soon will fall upon them. The burden of defense will have to be borne by them. Today Japan still bemoans the fact that her national resources are unequal to her appetite for con- quest, a handicap to her ambition to be war lord of Asia"
 Thoughts of many delegates turn ed to Shanghai, where Chinese troops, obeying reluctantly the de- mand of their German advisors, were retreating through rain and sticky mud to their new defense line under a shattering Japanese fire, while Welling Roo quietly continued his plea.

 The Wichita was reported due at San Pedro, Calf, today or tomor- row from the canal zone. It was believed the planes, and any other cargo affected by the presidents ban would be jettisoned at San Pedro before the vessel is permitted to proceed. Any foreign vessel could load the planes there and carry them on to their destination, if the ship couldw run the Japanese naval blockade.
 Reduce War Scare
 It was believed that the order, given late yesterday, would reduce greatly the possibilities of collision between this country and Japan over freedom of the seas" for Amer ican ships in the Far East. It made effective, so far as American ships are concerned, Japan's naval block ade of the Chinese coast.
 Administration officials appeared inclined to let pass unanswered the of1cial reactions in Japan and China to the action. Officials in Japan were reported well pleased Chi nese officials were reported dis mayed.
 The effect of the order, Chinese ofacials declared, was to place the warning nations on cash and car- ry" basis for war supplies from this country. They pointed out that Ja- pan has large merchant marine, protected by powerful navy, while China has neither merchant marine nor a navy.
 Chinese Leaders Hurt
 Shanghai, Sept. 15-(UP)-Chi- neSe leaders, aghast at President Roosevelt's restrictions on arms shipments from the United States ot the Far East, asserted today that its effect was @ direct aid to Japan. The presidents order was read here with astonishment, and realization of it's import brought pessinism equal to that which would have re- suited from news of an important Japenese military victory. It was telephoned to Q high Chinese offi- cial, who commented:
 Whatever purpose may have in- spired this order, its effect is to Help Japan, to hurt China"
 stops China'S Supply As Chinese saw the order, 1t stopped China's supply of munitions from the United States-from whom she buys more goods than from any other nation-and permitted Japan to buy at will.
 It was pointed out that Japan, with a merchant fleet of world irn- portance, protected by the third strongest navy in the world, could continue to buy as much war ma terial as she liked to augment the gigantic supply which is available to her ct home. That is because Japan can take war materials in her own ships from American ports, whereas China lacks corl- pletely Q maritime merchant fleet,
