FOR NEW DEAL IN 8A LT
HATER FI8HERIES
at the moment representing the jxiund
net owners in a conference with the
attorney of the borough.
"We desire to show that e fishing in­
dustry worth at least $ 10 ,000,000 is
without a governing head, end that at
present any person can place in the
waters of the State at any time and at
any spot fish net* and apparatus of all
descriptions without even the formality
of an application, a privilege that no
other State gives.
"Seine nets," the report says, "are
capable of doing untold damage to the
food fish that como to the bays and
rivers of the State, and there are hun­
dreds of them in use during the entire
fishing season. They are dragged over
the spawning and feeding grounds and
gather in thousands of small unmarket­
able fish, including kingfish, bluelish,
striped bass, weaktish and other varie­
ties."
The commission failed to find n net
owner who compelled his employes to
use the slightest care in 'handling these
small fish or to return them to the
water with as little injury as pos&ibte.
A heavy penalty is urged to prevent
such practise.
The report attacks the practise of the
recently organized Fish trust which it
holds responsible for exorbitant prices
alleged to be charged to consumers. As
an example, it is stated that during the
immense runs of cod and whiting to the
Jersey shore last December the commis­
sion found 200 b an d s of cod in one
shipment, for which the owners received
two cents a pound.
The fish were delivered in New York
and traced thence to Newark, Jersey
City, Elizabeth and other Jersey towns,
being sold to the consumers for sixteen
cents a pound.
The retail men had paid ten cents a
pound to the commission men, who, it
was figured, had cleared a profit of no
less than seven cents a pound on fish
that cost them not more than one cent
a pound to handle. Publicity, the com­
mission believes, would aid in prevent­
ing a continuance of such methods.
The commission recommends the en­
actment of restrictive legislation to
regulate the pound net fishing, primarily
upon the ground that, as now engaged
in, it causes a wholesale destruction of
immature and small fish. The report
discusses fisffing as a recreation and the
value of amateur fishermen from a com­
mercial viewpoint to the State,
Among the recommendations made
to the commision are:
That all the marine fishes in the
waters of the State be declared by law
to be the property of the State, and
that permission to take them for com­
mercial purposes by any person be
granted only under certain conditions to
be specified by the Legislature; that
the taking of all marine fishes in the
tide waters of the State by pound net,
fyke, drift, seine or other fishing ap­
paratus be regulated by the Legislature;
that a marine fish commissioner be ap­
pointed to have general supervision
over the industry.
A remedy which the commission thinks
would afford much relief and which it
says can be practically enforced, is to
require the pound operators to lift the
nets more frequently than is usually
done, so as to liberate all small fish, and
to bring to the shore only such fishes as
are marketable.
A bill intended to cover the points set
forth by the commission accompanied
its report. It is entitled an act for the
appointment of a commission of marine
fisheries for the better protection of the
fishing interests in the tidal waters of the
State of New Jersey, including the
waters of the Atlantic Ocean, within
three nautical miles of the coast line of
said State.
|v recommendations favored by
(fishermen are included in the ret submitted to the (Governor last
the special commiaaion apI by him to investigate the aalt
r Ashing of New Jersey. The comu. which c o n a i a t a of Senator
H. Shinn, of Ocean; Joseph

LARGE 8UM8
PLETED 8TATE BE08
Word come* from Trenton that a
movement it on foot to make a five
year* eluted season of all State oyster
seed beds to let the oyster have anoth­
er chance. The story goes that a num
ber ol, legislators had their eye* opened
to the site and importance^ the oyster
seed problem by the inquiry of the
commission appointed to investigate
Riparian grants, when that commission
visited Tunis River and took up certain
phases of the oyster seed question.
It i* added that some legislators who
were not at all familiar with the oyiter
seed problem before, have since that
time had it called to their attention
and they see no way to solve it but by
along closed season. It is hinted that
a bill of this kind is in preparation, and
is likely to be brought to light at any
session.
It goes without saying that such a
measure would be opposed by our oystermen. It is true that the seed prob­
lem is a vexatious one; thnt seed is
scarce and high priced; that beds have
been tonged and scraped almost to the
mud bottom in the effort to get oyster
bearing cultch—but with all this they
say that a long closed season would bo
ruinous. The objection comes not
alone from the tonger, who would be
shut out of his chance to make a little
hard cash, but also from the plant
er. The tonger's objection needs no
explanation. He wants work every
year and five years is a long time to go
hungry, even with the prospects of good
money at its end. When there is no
certainty of results, the five year closed
season seems the greater hardship.
The planter’s objection is based on
the fact that he has now but two sources
of seed: Our own bays and rivers,
and Long Island Sound. The canny
Connecticut Yankees watch laws of
States as well as laws of trade. Before
now, when no appropriation was made
to shell Barnegat and Great bay beds,
the Connecticut dealer at once put the
price of his seed up several notches.
If he knew he had amonoply of furnish­
ing Jersey planters with seed oysters,
the price would be a dollar a bushel.
There is only one hopeful sign about
the oyster seed situation, and that is
found in the fact that Delaware Bay
and Maurice River Cove, where five
years ago the seed supply was said to
be exhausted, and was in fact in even
worse shape than the Barnegat and
Great bay beds, are now prolific with
seed. Last fall saw the biggest seed
growth in the history of the trade, it is
said, and this spring planters are offer­
ing charters of seed to the less fortun­
ate oystermen of Ocean and Atlantic
counties.
It might be well for the oystermen of
the Atlantic shore to look into the
Maurice River situation, with the idea
of learning if possible how this change
was brought about, and if it is likely
to last. If it has the elements of per­
manency and if it is based upon the nat­
ural laws or laws of the State, then what­
ever brought about the situation in
those waters should be emulated or cul­
tivated here at home.
One thing is certain they had had no
five year closed season in Maurice River
Cove, and it cannot be said that they
replenished the seed supply in that way.
An ordinary "notice to creditor*."
published in the Point Pleasant Beacon
is the starting point from which might
be unraveled a romance affecting tour
lives, and full of crosa purposes The
notice is to the effect that creditors of
the late Alexander M u i r h e a d of
Point Pleasant, must bring in their
claims against the estate, etc., etc.,
couched in the usual legal form. But
there is nothing in the notice itself to
cause one to suspect the romance.
Muirhead's will was filed on January
25th in the Surrogate’s office at Toms
River, and it is supposed to distribute
an estate of from $125,000 to $150,000.
I t has a clause by which it leaves $25,000 to "Caroline Johnsonv^ n o w n as
m y Hitt." and in those six words hide
the romance.
Muirhead came to Point Pleasant
years ago. He was then middleaged,
and well to do. He was never known by
Point Pleasant people to do any work,
and so was supposed to be rich. He
lived well, and minded his own business
and taught other folks to do the same,
so far as he was concerned.
Muirhead’s estate, after his wife is
taken care of, is divided into four equal
parts, going to two neices and two
nephews: Josephine Morine Goosh of
South Orange; Lucy Ackerman of Bar­
rington, Mass.; Thomas and Harry
Pope of Manasquan. Since the will was
probated, Thomas Pope died on Febru­
ary 1 1 th. It is said each will get more
than the widow’s share of 825,000.
Muirhead is said to have watched the
stock market with great care, and to
have made much on the “street."
Accuse Senator Cranmer of

a Barnegat dispatch in yesterday’s
Newark Star says: Friends of George T.
Cranmer, of this place, former Sena­
tor from Ocean County, and for the
past fifteen years clerk of the United
States District Court at Trenton, are
wondering if the recent utterances from
Washington about political activity on
the part of Federal appointees applies
to Mr. Cranmer.
The political enemies of the former
Senator are gleeful over the agitation,
It is hinted that they have a long list of
cases of 'uncalled fot" political activi­

Cranmer was a friend and protege of

year in the Assembly and nine years in

DE8PERATE PLAN FOR 0TI8
AND CONRAD TO ESCAPE
TRIAL OF INDICTMENTS
Recent events would go to »how that
Messrs Conrad and Otis, indicted for
embezzlement a* the result of the re­
cent investigation of Ocean county af­
fairs by the Supreme Court, are making
u last desperate struggle to escape trial,
the effort being directed to have ■
Judge and a Prosecutor appointed who
will be under their influence. In that
event they would of course be safe.
From the time th at Conrad was con­
victed in December until a new trial
wa* granted him last week, the influ­
ences th a t Conrad and Otis awing were
all for the reappointm ent of Judge Mar­
tin
However, in le u than an hot»
from the tim e th at Judge M artin h a lf
granted Conrad a new trial, all these in-*
fluences had deserted Judge Martin.
In that time the word was going down
the line, to get busy the whole Free­
holder Gang and all their friends in the
support of another candidate
It was the same way with the Prosecutorship. Conrad’s friends had gone
to \V. 11 Rees, who hud been recom­
mended by Senator Shinn and Assem­
blyman Taylor for Prosecutor, and had
pledged him their undivided support.
But since the new trial was granted,
the same man who made this pledge
has been running around booming and
grooming another candidate for Prose­
cutor.
So that the Freeholder Gang and the
Lakewood Gamblers arc now in open
alliance: and whether or not they have
an open candidate for Judge and an
open candidate for Prosecutor, they are
willing to stand for anybody for either
office if in that way they could get rid
of Mr. Brown.
People in Ocean county do not look
upon the situation very seriously how­
ever, and are inclined to treat it as a
joke. That a Governor could allow
gambling house keepers and grafters,
caught with the goods on and comjielled to plead guilty or disgorge, to
select a Judge and a Prosecutor seema
to be beyond all human possibility.
From past experience the Freeholder
Gang know that Mr Brown cannot be
bought by promises or anything else,
that he cannot be scared away from
the performance of his duty, and that
he would rather lose office than gain it
through personal dishonor: and that to
him, refusal or neglect to do his plain
duty is personal dishonor. For that
reason they have determined if possible
to encompass his defeat. They don't
want him as Judge, but they would
rather have him there than as Prose­
cutor again; and they are trying every
method they can think of to prevent .
his appointment in either position.
Otis, though he pleaded guilty to mal­
feasance last spring, still has an indict­
ment over him for embezzlement. Ac-*
cording to the books as kept by Con­
rad, it is alleged that Otis was paid
twice for one job,and it was so convinc­
ing to the grand jury that an indict- •
ment was found. This case was post­
poned by Otis on various pretexts, and
a t the last term had to be put off by
the State because of the sickness of the
chief witness for the prosecution. It
is said th a t this witness is getting
better, and that Otis is consequently
getting anxious.

day that the coal barge Bala went

there are yet no reports from her crew of

The only medicine that a mother
should give on her own responsibility
is castor oil, says Emelyn Coolidge, M.

even many physicians would learn that
the little ailments of babies and young
children may be successfully treated by
proper change in the food and a few ex­
ternal applications, th e mortality
among infants would be greatly reduc­

children are very delicate and when

"Abe took It (tbeuii up on Ills own ac­

against cruelty to animals sud at
last came forward wltb a regular com
position on the subject. He waa very
murb annoyed and pained by tbe cooduct of tho boys, wbo were lu the habit
of n ich in g terrnplua aud putting coals

The third aud last school to wblcb
Abe went waa taught by a Mr. Rwaney
In 1830. To get there be bad to travel
■four and a half miles, and this going
back and forth so ‘great a distance occupled entirely too much of his time.
Hla attendance was therefore only at
odd times and wns speedily broken off
altogether. The uchoolhotise waa much
like the other one near the Pigeon Creek
meeting bouae, except that It had two
chimneys Instead of one. The emtra*
of Instruction wns precisely the same
as tinder Dorsey and Crawford, save
tbat Rwaney. like Dorsey, omitted
the great department of "milliners.”
"Here,” says John Hoskins, the son ol
the settler who had "biased out" the
trail for Thomas Lincoln, “wo would
choose up and spell as In old time»
every Friday night.’
Abo never went to school again In In­
diana or elsewhere. Mr. Turnhnm tolls
us that ho bad cxcolled all hla masters,
and It was no use for him to attempt
to loam nnythlng from them. But he
continued his studies at borne or wher­
ever he was hired out to work with a
perseverance which showed that he
could scarcely live without some spe­
cies of mental excitement. He was by
no means fond of the hard manual la­
bor to which his own necessities and
those of his family compelled blm.
Many of hla acquaintances statu this
fact with strong emphasis, among them
Dennis Hanks and Mrs. Lincoln.
His neighbor, John Romlne, declares
that Abe was “awful lazy. Ho worked
for me; was always reading aud think­
ing; used to get mad at him. He work­
ed for* me In 1820, pulling fodder. I say
Abe wns awful lazy. IIo would laugb
and talk and crack jokes and toll sto­
ries all tbe time; didn’t love work, but
did denrly love Ills pay. He worked for
me frequently, u few days only at a
time. Lincoln said to me oue day tbat
hts father taught blm to work, but
never learned him to love tt.’

put to work, and “dun him” became the

their fingers out of politics is said to

folks in the southern part of Ocean

that the collector of the port of Phila­

President; and it was not long ago that
the Postmaster at Louisville, was com­

These orders are alleged to have arous­

quarters where a big Federal appointee

with a following of postmasters and

The old saying that u "green Christmas means a fat grave yard,” has un­
fortunately proven all too true this
winter. T h e mild early winter
witli its fogs and rains, and the ice and
snow of February have alike been pro­
ductive of -grip, pneumonia and kindred
diseases. The nerve-racking grip seems

reason the deaths among the old and
the weak been many,
Judge Ten Eyck in Newark this week
gave some pretty tough sentences to
gamblers and bookmakers. Some of
them got as high as two years in State

If Judge Ten Eyck was an Ocean

majesty of the law and the morals of the
community in that way, he would have
to look sharp, or his head would go off.
At least that is the logic of recent
events.
Up in Jersey City it is proposed to

Would Abolish Freeholders
News dispatches say that Senator
Shinn on Tuesday introduced a bill to
substitute smaller boards of freeholders
for the clumsy and inefficient bodies
that now prey and graft on the tax­
payer. What the provisions of the bill
may be, is not yet known in Toms Riv­
er, where the newspaper dispatches are
theuuly sources of information, but the
law would be a poor one indeed not to
be welcomed with relief by the taxpay­
ers of Ocean county.
The preesent Hoard of Freeholders,
dominated by one or two men with no
sense of official propriety or decency,
uTVilu!} in Iïil'it acts, defiant of courts
and public sentiment, guilty of many
things that brought upon their heads
the condemnation both of the public
and of the courts and further guilty
of trying to hold up the courts in
this county—it is no wonder that the
respectably citizens a n d taxpayers
would be delighted to see the Board
wiped out of existence even if it were
necessary to pass a new law to do so.
The extravagance and graft of some
members of the Board have cost it the
respect and friendship of the citizens,
and while many believe that a member
from each township is a much better
system in theory than a small Board
elected at large, they will be onlyjitoo
glad of the change, and will not dispute
how or whence it comes.
Give the Native a Show
Fishermen at Forked River and Waretown are aroused over the proposed bill
to prohibit the taking of crabs in winter.
The fishermen say that the crab in
summer is a nuisance, and there is about
fourteen times too many of them. All
they can catch and market in the
winter, they maintain, makes no differ­
ence to the hordes that swarm the bay
in the summer, and if it did lessen the
number, they would be glad of it.
Besides the boys can’t see why it is
that the city sport want to shut them
out of every possible avenue of making
a living. The game, the fish and now
the crabs, it would seem, are to be “pro­
tected" from the men who live upon
arduous work on the bay, for the sake
of the city sportsmen and his pleasures.
They have no objection to the city man,
they like him to come down and have
his fun, but the would also like him to
give a little, and-not tak e all; and they
are willing to do the same, they say.
Any one acquainted with our shore
villages with their limited m eant of pro­
viding a livelihood can ace w hat the
return* from five hundred barrels of
winter crabe mean divided up among
the working men who perhaps would
otherwiee hardly make a dollar from
November to March.
This w inter shipping of crabs is what
the legielature is asked to atop on the
ground th a t it will exterminate the
crab supply. The people who take this
view are not acquainted with the condi­
tion* th a t surround the crab or the
habits of the crab. In the firet place,
the crabs caught in winter are full
grfiwn, and will never shed again. The
fishermen do not care to take crabs in
wintar unless they are from five to
eight inchee long.
These crabs seem to bury themselves
in the m uddy bottom of the bay on the
approach of winter and lay torpid till
warm weather comes. It is when they

About $80 was taken in. Sandwiches

of dollars worth of tax on real estate
has been left uncollected in that time
He added that a few of them concluded
that they would not pay, simply to
make the Collector take action. If the
Collector sold their real estate to secure
their taxes, then he would have to sell
all the real estate on which the tax was
unpaid. That every other means had
been exhausted, to compel the taxing
authorities to collect taxes, and it had
been unsuccessful, and this means Was
taken to force the issue.
The citizen referred to instanced a
farm of several acre's, situate jn the
town limits, that had paid no takes for
some years. He said that recently the
house on it burned down, and the own­
er collected some $1800 insurance on it
and had the farm left. Yet it paid no
tax. He also spoke of other properties,
carried on the tax books for years, un­
til their unpaid taxes ran up into the
hundreds of nollars.
“If all other means fail, there is still
one means left," said this citizen “and
that will probably be brought into ac­
tion at once. The .tax law of 1903
makes it the duty of the Collector to
collect taxes on personal property to
the extent of putting the owner in jail
if he won’t put up, andalso tocollect on
real estate by selling at tax sale. The
law goes farther, and says that the Col­
lector who neglects or refuses to collect
taxes is guilty of a misdemeanor, and
can be proceeded against criminally.
In addition to that, he is liable to suit
in any court of jurisdiction, and to be
penalized in the sum of $32 for each
item of tax uncollected.
“ You may have seen that in Jersey
City, Charles E. Hendrickson, Jr , son
of Supreme Court Justice Hendrickson,
and now a member of Assembly, has
commenced action to recover from Col­
lector Fry the sum of $360,000,on 11,000 items of uncollected taxes in the
years 1903, 1904 and 1905. In Dover
township, the amount that could be
collected under this law in the past
three years would probably run up into
the thousands; and would reimburse the
township what it has lost through fail­
ure to collect the taxes,
“Another matter that is objected to
strenuously is the habit of adding $1000
to $1500 to the budget each year, after
it is voted by the people, as an emer­
gency fund.”

He had 20 days’ wages to pay-for, 20

"Wasn’t It Just tbe same wltb her

asked, not for Information, us he Im­
mediately answered himself. "You
bet It was! Didn’t ebo always rule
the roost? Yes, she did. She made a
god of Gene from tbe day be was
born. Ilniitry's house was run for him,
like Louden's Is now.”
“And look," exclaimed Mr. Arp, with
satisfaction, "nt the way lie's turued
out!"
"He ain't turned out nt nil yet. Ho's
too young,” said Buckalew. “Besides,
clothes don't make the man."
“Wasn’t he smokin’ a clgnroet!” cried
Eskew triumphantly. This was final
“It's n pity Henry Louden can’t do
something for his own sou," said Mr.
Bradbury. "Why dou't he send him
uwuy to college?”
"Funny won't let him,” chuckled Mr.
Arp malevolently. “Takes all their
spare change to keep Gene there In
style. I don’t blame her. Gene cer­
tainly nets the fool, but tbut Joe Lou­
den is the ornerlest boy I ever saw lu
an ornery world full.”
"He always was kind of mlsckeevous,” admitted Buckalew. "I don’t
think lie's mean, though, and It does
seem kind of not just right that Joe's
father's money—Bnntry didn’t leave
anything to speak of—has to go to
keepln' Gene on the fat of the land,
with Joe glttln’ up nt half past 4 to
carry papers, and him goin’ on nine­
teen years old.”
“It’s all he's fit for!” exclaimed Eskow. "He’s low down, I tell ye. Ain’t
it ouly last week Judge Pike caught
him shootln’ craps with Pike’s uigger
driver and some other nigger hired
men In the alley back of Pike’s barn."
"You ever hear that boy Joe talk pol­
itics?" asked Uncle Joe Davey, cross­
ing a cough with a chuckle. “His
heud’s so full of schemes fer running
this town, mid state, too, it’s a wonder
it don’t bust. Henry Louden told me
lie’s see Joe set around aud study by
the hour how to save $3,000,000 for the
state in two years.”
“And the best he can do for himself,”
added Eskew, “Is deliverin’ the Daily
Tocsin on a second hand Star bicycle
and gamblin’ with niggers and riffraff!
None of the nice young folks invite
him to their doin's any more.”
“That’s because he’s got so shabby
he’s quit goin’ with ’em,” said Bucka­
lew.
“No, It ain’t,” snapped Mr. Arp. "It’s
because he’s so low down. He’s no
more ’n a town outcast. There ain’t
ary one of tbe girls ’ll have a thing to
do with him, except that rip-rarin’ tom­
boy next door to Louden’s, and the oth­
ers don’t have much to do with her
neither, I can tell ye. That Arie Ta­
bor”—
Colonel Flltcroft caught him surrep­
titiously by the arm. “Sh, Eskew!" he
whispered. “Look out what you’re
sayln’.”
“You needn’t mind me,” Jonas Tabor
spoke up crisply. "I washed my hands
of all responsibility for Roger’s branch
of the fnmlly long ago. Never was one
of ’em hnd the energy or brains to
make a decent livin’, beginning with
Roger—not one worth his salt. I set
Roger’s son up In business, and all the
return he ever made me was to go
Into bankruptcy and take to drink, till
he died a sot,; like his wife did of
shame. I done all I could when I
handed him over my store, and I never
expect to lift h finger for ’em again.
Ariel Tabor’s my grandniece, but she
didn’t act like it. and you can say any­
thing yon like about her for what I
care. The last time I spoke to her was
a year and a half ago. and I don’t
reckon I’ll ever trouble to again.”

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con­
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the svstem, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do­
ing its work. The proprietors have such
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of tes­
