Secretary Hughes nd the President. In fairness to all sides, the facts of the Incident ought to be stated. Mr. Harding submits twice a week to in terrogation by the newspaper cor respondents. They offer their ques tions in writing and Mr. Harding can answer or not, as he pleases.

Viays Fisheries Commission Meets To Pass On Fishing Grounds Dare County Fishermen Want Restricted Area North Of Croatan Sound Opened To Pound Nets, And Edenton Fishermen Strongly Op pose It Before Meeting Here Thursday Whiitlier or not the area at the north end of Croatan Hound, in j which pound-net fishing had been prohibited since the passane of the! Vunn. bill In 1905, should be re- i 0IM.,,d to pound net Itshermen, was, jthe principal mutter taken up by the 'North Carolina Fisheries Commis- jslon, which met at the Chamber of morning at ten o'clock. The Com - imi.ssion went into executive sess.on to puss lipon this and other queatious ,m lne cliny anernpon. The prescribed area under con sideration is at the northwest end of Roanoke Island, and is roughly a square between 2,000 and 3,000 yards on each sldo. The fishing grounds in upper Croatan Sound have been materially reduced by the j government ch.aIlnel-dredgiIlg, oper- Rations now in progress in the sound, land the fishermen of Mann's Har- bor, Stumpy Point, and Mashoes con tend that they Bhould be allowed this new territory ln place of the fishing areas lost to their pound nets there-; by. Among thoso who appeared be-j fore the commission Thursday morn ing to advocate the opening of these grounds were W. B. Twiford, W. C. Tillett, S.'L. Fulcher. R. A. Hopkins, Jay Burruss and C. W. Mann, all of Mann's Harbor. Those opposed to the opening of the fishing grounds in controversy are mainly the pound net fishermen i 1 of Edenton and vicinity. They claim that pound netB located in this par-! to appoint a commission for an ela tlcular area would tend to cut off the ' borate comprehensive scheme for fish that might otherwise go on up i the rehabilitation ot Central Europe Albemarle Sound, and eventually be ad Russia. The United States will caught In their nets. In support this contention they point out that the grounds are directly ln the route of fish coming northward through either Roanoke or Croatan Sound; and that to permit the Dare County fishermen to set their nets there would work their Ashing Industry great harm. Frank M Bond, Jr., T. S. Sheppard and Julian Wood, Sr., were leaders of the Edenton delega tion opposing , the opening ot the I grounds. State Fish Commissioner J. A.

These asked that they be permitted to ship the fish thus caught up to April 30, from Currituck County. As the fish ing regulations stand, they are al lowed to catch -fish in the waters of Camden County, and to ship them Ifrnm that county, up to April 30; but the laws governing fishing in the waters of Currituck County do not; permit them to catch or ship the fish j after April 1st.
