CONFEREES BAR ALIEN FISHERMEN Seattle, Wash.—After an 8-hour con ference between members of the Wash- ington and Oregon legislature the joint delegation adopted two resolutions as a@ result of their deliberations, one of which provided that commercial fish erman shall be American citizens and the other related to taxes on fish. The conference was called to discuss joint legislation affecting the Colum bia river, which borders both states Decision to limit fishery operations to American citizens, patterned after the British Columbia statute, was un- animous and the conferees believed that this action, if passed by the Wash ington legislature, would mark a great step in preserving the fishery re sources of the Pacific northwest for Americans. Such a law, passed in 1919, is now effective in Oregon, but the bill failed to pass the Washington legislature of 1919 HAYS TO REMAIN AT HEAD March 4 Will Not Change Republican National Committee Washington. — The republican na- |} tional committeemen and other of- | tictals of that party, from Chairman Hays down, will be kept in the posi- tion for a time after March 4 regard less of cabinet or other federal ap- pointments, according to annouuce- ment at republican headquarters, It was regraded as certain, they said, that Chairman Hays would be appointed to the cabinet, but that | this would not affect his political position, at least for a time after March 4.

Their lingering footsteps had at last brought them before the desk, and now the polite clerk was observing them with a sort of detached inquiry. Esther tremulously nudged her hus- band, “Oh—ah—O, yes, the register,” ex- claimed Ned. Now—Great Scott !"— the pen fell from his nerveless fingers. “My father!” “Where?” quavered Esther, looking nervously over her shoulder. ’ “Here, on the register. mean.

He's pretty much like the old man, after all. Oh, by the way,” to the clerk, “did you happen to notice Mrs. Burton?” “Oh, yes, sir,” the obliging clerk has- tened to explain, “Not very tall, sir, brown eyes, had a white feather in her hat and—" “Yes, sir,” interrupted Mr. Burton. “Much obliged.” luck!
