(C. P. By Gil-Milan's Special Wire)

HALUAX, Jan. 23.—-DBlEflBLl0DS froni various branches of the Nova scotla and Maritime Fishery were received today by Minister of Fish- eries J. E. Michaud.

Petitions from the Nova Scotla Fish and Game Protective Associa- tion, United Maritime Fishermen and the canned fish section of the cnnndlan Manufacturers 555mm- tion iu conference here, were heard by the visiting minister.

Tomorrow, before Mr. Michaud returns to Ottawa he will receive representatives of the dried fish. pickled fish and fresh industries in the Maritimes.

The government wasurged by the canned fish representation who had gathered here in annual convention in order to ‘meet the Minister, to enact legislation without further tleluy requiring higher standards of production in canneries, _

Requirements-of steam retorts for cooking lobsters in preparation for cunning and other equipment, to in- sure high standards were among their suggestions.

A study of the natural history of lobsters now being made by the Biological Board of Canada should be intensified, in the opinion of the cauners.

’I'he great importance of the lob- ster fishery to this part of the country was cited as the necessity for maintaining it at a high level of production.

Mr. Mlchaud was told of the cd-_ ntnces made in education and pro- duciion through the co-operative work of the United Maritime Fish- ermen.

The support of the Fish and Game Society to the Fishery De- partment in every feasible way was pledged. Representatives of the as- sociation emphasized that sport fishing in Nova Scotia was at a low ebb after" being subjected to a tremendous drain in recent years through the increase of fishermen taking advantage of improved roads an (father methods of travel.

As far as could be learned from Deputy Minister W. A. Found at a press conference tonight, the dele- gatloti that kept Mr. Mlchaud to his hotel throughout the day had not urged a great deal of legislation.

Mr. Found would not predict whether dried fish representatives would seek a bonus from the'gov- ernment for their industry when they met the Minister tomorrow.

Mr. Michaud had said last night that any proposals of that nature would have to be considered care- fully because of the danger of los- ing existing markets through trying to gain-new ones.

HALIFAX, Jan. 28—A bonus on the export of dry fish might ra- suit in an immediate tariff jump in countries where Canadian fish was marketed, Hon. J. E- Michaud, Minister of Fisheries, said on ar- riving here tonight. ,Proposals for the bonus would have to be considered from all angles, he added. There was ul- ways the danger of losing markets alrcady heldinstead of gaining 110W GEES. '

The Minister came to Halifax to confer with representatives of the fish industry, the lobster canners branch of the Canadian Manu- fuctflrcrs’ Association and i-he Board of Trade;

lie was met by Premier Angus Macdonald, Robert Finn, M. P., G. B, Isnor, M. P., and M. B. Archi- bztid. president of the Nova Scotla Liberal Association, with whom hc cottfcrrcd before retiring.

No ltgislation of importance re- specting the fisheries was to be expected at the forthcoming ses- sion of Parliament. the Minister said.

"We have legislation enough," hc continued, adding that the two things Nova Sccilans were interest- rd in today were oyster culture iuul sports fishing to attract tour- sts

During the summer the depart- ment propbsed to make a further study of the sports fishing sil- uation in Nova Scotia. Last summ four scientists had been engaged in n study of the margarea, in Cape Breton, and they had determined that neither netting nor line fish- lug were responsible for the scar- dlty of fish.

MilRRil CASTLE UFFIIBERS SENTENBEII

Acting Captain And Chief Engineer Giv- en J ail Terms — Steamship Company Fined.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

NEW YORK, Jan. 28. — Prison terms were meted out to two of- ficers of the ill-starred S. s. Morro Castle today by a Federal Judge who called for more rigid enforce- ment of the maritime laws, ._ In sentencing chief engineer Eben Abbott to four years and acting Capt. William Warms to two years in prison, Judge Murray Hulbert de- clared that much of tha blame for disasters like the Morro Castle hor- rors rests with the government and passengers. The Morro Castle, a $5,000,000 "luxury liner" plying between New York and Havana, burned of! the New Jersey Coast Sept. 8, 1934 with a loss of 124 lives.

Urges Strlctcr Supervision

Judge Hulbert urged the govern- ment to place agents on vessels as passengers to see that fire and boat drills are carried out 1n accordance with law. At the same time he warned the sea-going public to take more interest in the drills provided for their safety. There was testi- mony at the Morro Castle trial that fire and boat drills were carried out haphazardiy.

Declaring it, would “not bring back life to have extended the term of sentence which I have imposed," Judge I-lulbert said:

"The real thing we are interested in here is that the indictment will have had a salutary effect"

Suspended Sentence

Henry Cabaud, executive vice president of the New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company, received a sentence of one year, suspended on condition he pay a $5,000 fine. The steamship Company itself, con- victed of criminal ligcncc along with the individual defendants, was fined the maximum of $10,000.

Cabauds conviction was the first since the laws were amended to permit the ncluslcn of corporate defendants in criminal negligence

cases.

Judge Hulbcrt berated the con- duct of Abbott. who formerly lived at Yarmouth, N.S., and Warms, but tempered his u ' ‘ , of the acting captain with the observation that he had followed the tradition of "sticking to his ship until ordered off." The Judge said he could visualize Warms "pacing the bridge shouting orders. orders which nobody pcid any attention to."

'I'hc defendants were continued in 82.000 ball pending appeal.

in Shclburnc County, where an old mill dam site would be harnessed for water control purposes.

"If the work is successful then it will bc extended to other streams," he said.

Oyster culture had proved worth while in Prince Edward Island. As a result negotiations with the Nova Scotla Government probably would be concluded in the next few d»?! by which suitable beds would bc taken over by the Dominion from the Province and used for mm culture.

The industry had been rehabil- itated m the Island and thcrc was reason to believe this could be cc- cd in Nova Scott; cc wcll.

(C. Psby Guardian's Special Wirc)

The British Empire and the rest of the world yesterday united tn paying last respects to King George

Solemn memorial services, the booming of guns and the tolling of bells signified the universal grlcf on the occasion of the funeral of the sovereign.

Throughout the Empire a two- Jnlnuie silence was observed- Tralns halted in Melbourne for that period. For the first time since it was opened, all traffic across the peace bridge, linking Buffalo and Fort Erie, Ont., was moment- arily suspended.

Canada observed the day as one of mourning. It was a national holiday, with business and ordinary pleasures alike at a standstill. In Ottawa the Governor-General. attended two special services.

The ‘mo-minute silence was ob- served in the Dominion IS __the hour of 1.30 p. m. was reached in the various time Zones. Guns iloomed a solemn farewell salute of ‘l0 notes-one for each year- n1 m; late Sovereigns life.

In Great Britain

In Great Britain it was not an official holiday. In accordance with the express wish of King Ed- ward VIII. it was left to everyone to mark the occasion as seemed fitting to himself. But normal act- ivities were suspended while the service took place at Windsor and services were held in many other places. Afternoon papers published as usual but most theatres remain- ed closed.

In Washington high officials of the Unit/ed States Government al- fended a service at the N tional Episcopal Cathedral. Sir onalu Lindsay. British Ambassador, was present. Mlr- Roosevelt represent- ed the President.

While a blizzard stormed, a mat crowd thronged St. John's Angli- can Cathedral in Newfoundland. Governor and Lady Wayn and other Government officials were present.

Similar services were held in the various British colonies in the West Indies.

The Governor-General of Aus- tralia, Lord Gowrie, made~hls first official appearance in Canberra, the capital, at service on the steps of the prllament building. Prime Minister Lyons and members of the Cabinet also participated-

Fin-a] Tribute Paid In Brief a n d Solemn Ceremonyln St. George’s Chapel.

B? Thou. T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Writer

WINDSOR. Jun. 28. — Windsor Curtis's battle-mental towers and walls were lashed intermittently by wind and rain as townsfolk and People from the Berkshire country- side lfaihcred almost before dawn 1°53? to behold their royal neigh- bor's passing. On the rising |l'0lll1l‘l Wllhlfr the castles curtain wall, and before Si. George's Chapel privileg- ed apectato began to assemble hours before special trains withof- flcials arrived.

The var- iety of them was endless Ofllcinl wreaths from governments and overseas dominion: and crown colonies lay beside remembrance! from London taxi men, shipwrecked mariners, ‘ boiler-makers in Ber- molulsey, children who remembered happy school treats in Windsor Park.

DIGNIFIED BEAUTY ,

In size and in dignity of appoint- ment St. George's Chapel surpasses more than one of England's ancient cathedrals. The fan tracery equals that of Westminster or Gloucester and most of the colored glass is ex- tremely rich. St. _George’s chief glory lies in its choir on each side whereof are the sumptuously carved

‘ stalls of Knights of the Garter with

the banner of each Knight hanging above the canopy of each stall.

In a building of such beauty very little addition was necessary to render it worthy of today's solemnl- ties. The nave is separated from the choir by a massive stone screen on which the organ is built. Seats in the nave today were arranged in shallow tiers on each side of the aisle and facing toward it. The aisle itself was carpeted in rich blue. Almost the only addition to the choir was the catafalque in the very centre, simply designed and draped in purple.

GUN SALUTE

The dull thud of guns firing a salute in the Long Walk heralds the drawing nigh of the funeral train. Meanwhile the great bell in the Castirfs round tower maintains its solemn toll. Then from without come the walling notes of the brass and throb of the drums in the Dead March from Saul. The scarlet- robed choir advances to the west door to meet the procession. We also hear faintly sklrllng pipes playing a lament and then the "pip- ing alongside" by the two bosons and eight bosuns' mates from the Royal yacht, “Victoria. and Albert." Thus are accorded King George the honors which fall to an admiral of the fleet when he comes aboard.

The procession at the west door takes some time in arranging itself. Indeed, the funeral ls now some three quarters of an hour behind time.

QUEEN WALKS BY BIER.

At length the great retlnue around the dead Sovereign passes slowly through the nave, through the great stone screen and into the choir. The Queen Mother, Mary, walks erect at the side of the King. Her face, like that of every other woman present, is heavily veiled, although Princess Elizabeth's little features are plain to be seen. She is taken to the Royal family's pew, a curious balcony-like apartment above the sanctuary.

King Edward stands before the coffin, his brothers behind him.

"I am the resurrection and life", intone: the Archbishop of Canter- bury. Othcr sentences from the burial office follow. Indeed in its essentials the service diflers but little from that performed on behalf of any humble member of the Ang- lican communion.

Summcrsidc Fish ermc n Salvage "Sear"

Fishermen putting out from Summer-side are bringing back "catches" of fishing nets, ‘lines and other gear, even dishes and

bedding.

Shanties drifting into Egmont Bay on cakes of ice are supplying the extraordinary harvest.

More than a score of the little fishing shacks have already arriv- ed at these shores. They are bc- lieved to have been swept away from New Brunswick fishermen of Mlramichi district by heavy gales a few days ago and to have been blown. across Northumberland Strait. l Local fishermen row up to the big clampers of ice which carry the shantlcs and with little trouble are able to salvage useful gear. Many of the little huts from which ice-fishing had been carried on, on the western side of the Strait, contain even stoves and fuel.

Memorial Services Are Held

At Summerside, where a snow- storm ovcr the Province was at its fiercest yesterday, worshippers thronged St. Mary's Anglican church and Summerside Presbyter- ian church for the memorial ser- vices. Most Rev. Archdeacon C. de W. White conducted the ceremony‘ at St. Mary's while Rev. Walter MaoCleary officiated at the Presby- terian Church. Rev. Mr. MacCleary as assisted byw Rev. J. B. Wilson and C. W. Watterworth.
