denied that foreigners were molested

suggested to the supreme commander

Villa has guaranteed the safety of
all foreigners except Spaniards, who,
he says, have always taken an active

always against the people. Villa told

1 IK large number of men interested
in the oyster _business atwniivii B-
meetng ln the _Board oi Trade room,
convened -for the purpose of organiz-
ing an association, the oblect of
which, as not forth in one of the re-
solutions passed, “sbnll be the con-
servation and development of me
oyster lndustry so as to make it a
greater source of profit to the fisher-
men and others interested in the
buslness.”, On the motion of Mr. J.
K. Ross, who stated that the present:
meeting was only a continuation of
a previous one at which Mr. L. P.
'Canton acted as Chairman, that gen-
tleman was unanimously elected to
the chair. Mr. Tanton having an-
nounced the purpose of the meeting,
Major A. A. Bartlett was elected act-
tlon, moved by Mr. Ross and secon
read and adopted: “That whereas it
is advisable, in the best interests of
the oyster industry in this Province,
that there should be a larger mea-
sure of co-operation of the fishing,
growing and selling interests; and
whercus it is deemed advisable that
this can best be served by the form-
for the Province, whose Objects Shall
be the conservation and development
of the oyster industry so as to make
it a greater source of profit to the
fishermen and others interested in the,-
businees; therefore resolved: That an
association be now formed, to be
known as “The Oo-operative Oyster-
men’s Association of Prince Edward
Island,” the officers to be a Presi-
dent, Vice-{President, Secretary-Trees
urcr, who, with seven other persons,
shall form the Executine Commit-
tee."
ation of an Oysterlnen's Association
I
O‘i"1‘IMISM PREVAILING NOTE.
Having read this resolution, Mr.
Ross spoke in optinllstic terms on
the oyster industry of the Island.
'i‘-iieyllad to realize, he said, that
there were possibilities-big possibi-
lities-in the future of the business in
Prince Edward island. A gentleman
from the homeland who had visited
Canada, was reported in that morn-
ing’s Guardian to have said that the
Maritime Provinces were the best
pnri of the Dominion, and they were
beginning to recognise that fact.
Audthe people here, he added, were
beginning to realise that Prince Ed-
ward .lsland was the best part of the
Maritime Provinces. There were a
great many things here to boost
whicn they were not boosting. Cer-
tain men had left the Province whose
departure was not deprecated-those
men were "knockers" and Canada
had not much room in these days for
pcssiuiistic people. There was a.
great deal of difference, however, be-
itweou the Maritime and the Western
Provinces and that was that the lat-
ter were more imbued with the spirit
of progresslveness. That spirit was
conimeucing to assert itself in our
own province and wonderful strides
were being made. The oyster busi-
ness could be made a source of great
proilt, Malpeque oysters had made
our island famous and they could not
bs beaten. The one great thing
which was needed was co-operation in
-the development of the industry.
They must bear in n ind that the oys-
ter business was not a "get-rich-
quick” proposition; it was a sound
profitable industry, but it required
three or four years to grow oysters.
The true secret was the scientific
glowing of the fish from seed; pa-
tience in this was an essential. In
conclusion Mr. Ross urged earnestly
the ncccssityfor co-operation, und he
suggested that a nominal fee mfight
be charged for membership,
OFFICERS ELECTED.
Major Bartlett here .moved that a
cnmnllttee of three be appointed to
suggest to the meeting names of
those who might oe considered a re-
prnselltatlve body of officers to con-
trol tiie affairs of the Association-for
the next year. Mr. J. A. Dewar,_
Capt. T. I-l. E. Inman and Mr. John
Mcilulllnn were appointed. This
Committee, after consultation, pre-
sented to the meeting the following
lllt of officers of control which was
approved: President, Vice-President
and Secretary: Messrs. W. H. Aitken,
,Harry Holman and A. A. Bartlett,
respectively; and additional members
of executive, Rev. Fr. J. A. McDon-

McQuiilan, North River; Thomas

'ren, North; Burleigh, Bldefordi
George Riley, Baltic; and J. K. Ross,

The chairman, in reply to a ques-
tmn by'/one of the ‘ audience as to
whether the Association would be

tion, when should fishing begin. In
connection with this, Mr. Tanton
stated that an explanation uf the de-
struction of oyster beds might be
-found in this-the fishermen, in tak-
ing up their oysters, threw back all
the shells they got.. This was re-
peated ovei and over again with the
result that the oyster beds got
smothered. 1-Ie thought that the
fishermen might be made to_ take up
everything, shells and all, and they
might dispose of the shells to the
planters. He further threw out the
suggestion that the fishermen should
be allowed to take oysters in the
spring for the purpose of transplant-
ing. and this might best be done by
disposing of them to 'the lease-hold-
ers.

areas.
Mr. Donald Mathieson, of Travel-
ler's Rest, could not understand why
the lishermen did not have the same
privileges of fishing und shipping as
the lease holders, I-le wondered why
anyone should think of making a dif-
,fcrence between thcin. In reply the
Preniicr said that in the case of the
lense-holder it was nur. advisable to
.interfere with private property as it
Ieould be left to look after its own
interest; while with the public pro-
perty, where everybody was reaping
,and nobody sowing, it was necessary
to have regulations for the conserva-
tion of the same. If, however, the
Ifishermeu could agree anrong them-
'selves as to the desiraibility of length-
ening the season be would promise on
|hehnlf of the Government to use his
'influence with the Federal authori-
ties to bring about the desired
_ change
Proceeding, he said that this in-
dustry was of paramount importance
Iiirst to the whole province, second
to the vested rights of the fishermen,
tbirdly to the public investing their
money in the industry, and lastly to
the consumer. The Government in
dueling with the industry as a whole
had to consider all these interests,
some of which niust necessarily be
conflicting. This organization should
for that purpose. They also com-
plained of some good ground being
ing longer than for the public fisher-
men.
Mr. H. Hf. Shaw, in answer to this,
said. that in making the survey of
Richmond Bay it was recognized that
ii: would be extremely dilncult to de-
finitely determine what constituted
barren areas.
ln deciding what was barren bot-
tom there were two extreme views:

burned to death early today in a fire
which practically destroyed a five
story apartment house in which they
lived at 366 Amsterdam avenue. It
was one of the most spectacular
apartment house fires seen in this
city recently, seven persons being
seriously injured by flames or by
jumping from windows.
The fifty occupants found the exits
out off when the flames shot up from
the basement. The firemen effected
many thrilling rescues. but Thomas
J. McManus, one of their number,
who was on 24 hours leave from the
station house in the vicinity, was
trapped in his apartment with his
mother, Mrs. Mary McManus, and his
sister, Mary. One of his mates,
Michael O'Sullivan, was probably fat-
iilly injured by falling from a lad-
der while trying to make his way to
McManus' apartments. All tlrree mem-
bers of the family were dead when
the firemen finally reached them. Mc-
Manus' was a cousin of Thomas J.
McManus, a prominent Tammany
leader, familiarly known as "The Mc-
Manus." _
The loss is estimated at $25,000.

ST. THOMAS, Ont., Dec. 11.-'A
mysterious attempt was made to
wreck a heavy G. 'l‘. R. freight thin
near here at midnight last night.
There is a bridge over Catfish Creek
and at this place the attempt wal
made. The bridge Is 125 feet high.
The truck had been under-mined and
thc ties taken out at a point six feet
frorr the bridge. Two new ties were
placed with ends under the rails, the
other ends sticking up together ,be-
tween ihe rails in such s. way that
the train would be derailed. The
west-bound train for which the trap
wus laid was late and the east-bound
was given the right of way, so that
when it struck the obstacle it was
from the other side and no damage
was done. The engine stopped but
was not derailed. Ther! ll hc clue
to the guilty partie! nl theta has
been no trouble on the road. Detec-
tives have the case in hand.
