Officers Come Aboard

On June 8, 1884, we were at anchor outside the three mile limit off Cape Senavena in Ber- ing sea and Japanese navy transport, the Hakayu Maru, was lying about two miles from us al- so at anchor. In the afternoon went out in dory to try an out board motor and while l was ab- out mile from my vessel the transport lowered boat which steamed over alongside my vess- el. I immediately returned and found two Japanese naval officers with gold braid all over them, on board
 They told me that they tus to inspect your manufacture. This I refused, whereupon one of them said, We demand to know why you refuse permission to in- spect your manufacture I still refused, whereupon they stated that they were making a survey of the coast of Alaska and that they were testing the bottom with nets for crabs and that if we got our fishing gear caught in their gear that we must cut ours away but under no condition should we damage their equipment. They then wanted to know how many fish we got each year, how many men, how much our cost was etc, and l told them to get tc

Queer Frenzy is Unexplained In
 French Factory

fBv The Associated PreSs)
 PARIS, June IA, - Medical x psychological specialists puzzled today over a mysterious hyst- erical manifestation by 200 young women at a sugar refinery at Lille. For the time being they would venture only to call it an incomprehensible collective psy- chopathological attack.
 Four hundred women were working in one big room at the factory yesterday. One fell to the floor, apparently unconscious.
 Others hurried to aid her. But, according to the stories told to- day, as they reached the prost- rate woman, the others began to shriek, whirl about as if dizzy and fall to the ground. Some faint ed it was said.
 Other women started for the scene, 1t was said, and these went into convulsions, apparent ly affected by the sight of the other victims. Some of the wo- men attacked others, it was as- serted, and there was tearing of clothes, ear pulling and raking of faces with finger nails.

Chamber of Commerce Informed of Crab Fishing by Japanese

Unless the people express them selves forcefully, the matter of possible Japanese encroachment on the Alaskan fisheries will not get the attention it deserves in the nations capital, according to a letter read to the ketchikan Chamber of Commerce recently.
 The letter was from Miller Freeman, publisher of the Pacific Fisherman. 10 Frank s. Shelton, secretary of the ketchikan cham Der. It was in response to com munication from Mir. Shelton en- closing copy of resolution adopt ed in Ketchlkan urging that the American right to the Alaskan fisheries be clearly stated.
 If the Japanese are success tul in invading the Alaska sal mon fisheries" Mir. Freeman said, "it will in effect amount to con- fscation of c large part of that resource. The ships, labor, gear and all other equipment and SUD- plies will be foreign. The pro- duct will then be sold in markets we have hitherto enjoyed"
 MT. Freeman enclosed copy of letter from J. E. Shields, master of the cod fishing boat Sophie Christensen. which throws much direct light on the entire question The major parts of the letter dated March 2, follow:
 During the past four years nave fshed in Bering sea as mast CT and owner of the schooner Sophie Christensen, right in am. oAgSt these Japanese vessels. We hold every American record fol

These crab fishermen although they have the entire Boring sea to fish in per sistently come and set their nets right alongside of us.

Crab Nets Found


 On May ', 1886, l passed Am ak island which is an American island on the Boring sea side of the Alaska peninsula. There l saw Japanese crab nets, set by Japan csc vessels within three-quarters of mile of the green grass of the island. Never mind the three mile limit, these were within three-Quarters of one mile. l pass ed there one week later and the nets were still there. In fishing crabs the nets are set and left two weeks before they are lifted. When l passed the first time l wired the coast guard, We sailed today past .Amak island sighted Japanese crab net markers one mile north from island signed Shields. If the Japanese can fish within one mile of the beach and not be bothered even when re- ported, why talk about three mile limit.
 "On May s, 1885, we were ly- ing at anchor in 55.l3 north l63 40 west when four Japanese crab net layers came and set two cir cles of nets entirely around us We were outside the three mile limit. This made fishing almost impossible as our dories mus drift with the tide. A storm came up and we dropped the ships an chorS and fouled these nets SC we could net heave up our an chors until the storm subsided

MAPLESAP NOW

Vermont Farmers Busy Harvesting Sweet Crop
 After Mild Winter

According to the Connecticut Con sumers' Information Service, a WPA Project at the state deartment of agriculture, the maple sap, due to a mild winter has started to run and the Vermont farmer is now in the midst of harvesting his sweetest crop. +o b The Consumers Counsel of the agriculture adjustment administra- ton states that those living outside of New England, who are unfami- liar with pure maple products are often misled into purchasing sirup of an inferior quality, which is of. times merely 8 blend of cane or other sirups carrying small quan- tity of maple for havoring purposes. This has had a detrimental eect upon the popularity and consump- tion of pure maple sirup.
 According to the Consumers, Guide, there is no reason for anyone today purchasing a so-called syn thetic" maple product, if they desire the. pure food product. It is quite easy to determine if the genuine

 Enjoy Benefits
 Tn commenting upon the progress of his work during the past six months Mir. Mininberg says: "The plan of having a number of small groups rather than one large or chestra for each city is based upon the expressed preference of the young people themselves. This is in conformity with the purpose ex- pressed by the state director of the National Youth Administration in setting up the plan. Namely to of fer young people as widely as pos sible the benefits which can be de- rived from group expression and the social discipline of cooperative effort. Each group is rapidly be- coming self-sufficient, selecting their own music aud deciding all other matte~r for themselves"

Waterbury Orchestra Listed Among Most
 Successful Groups
IF Active Members Here With Average Age of 2l. Invited to Play for Cosmopolitan Club at Yale
 University on Occasion of Annual Dance

Eleven bands, orchestras, and other musical groups, have been formed throughout Connecticut tln- der the direction of the National Youth Administration since the middle of October, according to nil announcement made today by Thomas J. Dodd, state director. There are units now playing in New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury Hartford, and Stamford.

The organizations are made up of young people whose average age is about IT and whose only qualification for membership is the possession of a musical instrument with some ability to play it. The IVA furnishes leadership, secures rehearsal space, and arranges for public performances as fast as the various groups are ready to be heard. Some 15 public appearances have already been made by the fdE4OuS uiAto. %
 No Compensation
 Eight of the units are orchestras playing classical, semi- classical, and dance music. There is also brass band, a choral group, and a swing band.

Mininberg, gradu- ate of the Yale School of Music.
 The enthusiasm shown by the young people at rehearsals is partly accounted for by the, fact that near ly all of them hope to earn a few dollars later by playing in pri- vate dance orchestras, but much of their interest is due to the pleas

product is being purchased by read- ing the labels before purchasing. Pure maple sirup costs no more than cane sugar favored with maple. If the label on the bottle or can states that the contents are 1008o pure, according to this pulp lication, the consumer can be as- sured that the maple sirup pur- chased is pure and unadulterated.
