OIL NUISANCE BILL PASSAGE IS URGED Advocates of Willis Proposal Push Fight for Enactment Before Session Closes, Advoctites of the Willis bill, designed to prevent petroleum trans- ports and oil burfing vessels from throwing adhesive gobs of the ofl on the pustal waters, destroying vast numbers of fish, water fowl and ruining the hundreds of bathing b es cattered along the sea- s, began a vigorous fight in the se'yesterday to have it_enacted into law during the closing hours of sion of Congress. The the Senate in Janu- having an effect on the climatic conditions, destroying water fowl and ng bathing anything but a pleasure, the oil coated waters, proponents of the bill point out, kills countless millions of the egis of valued food fish such as cod, halibut, flounders, and mackerel. The oily waters also were described by advo- cates of the measure as an economic measure as it has taken hundreds of fishermen from a legitimately gainful occupation. Proponents of the bill belleve that it will stimulate and strengthen the hand of state officials to act strongly and efficiency for the public benefit in protecting both vested interests and all public and private rights in our coastal waters, KENDALL HELD TO JURY Prisoner Maintains Silence. About Shooting—Eyewitness Tells Story to Magistrate. Special Dispateh to The Star. FREDERICKSBURG, Va., May 31.— Following a preliminary hearing be- fore Magistrate S. A, Ort, at Spotsyl- vania ocourthouse thia afternoon, Charles Kendall, twenty-three years old, farmer, charged with the murder of Dr. Hobert L. Powell, at Granite Springs, on May 17, was held to the grand Jury which convenes Monda; ‘William W. Butsner of Fredericks- burg, and Harry M. Smith, jr. of Rich- mond, counsel for the defense, stated they ‘would apply for bail upon in- dictment of the accused. Prosecutor Goolick states he will oppose release of the alleged slayer on bail, and will ask for trial during June. Young Kendall is now in_ Spotsyl- vania jail, and has maintained a stolid silence since his arrest two days after the murder. Massie V. Harris, eye- witness to the slaying, téstified he was in his yard when he heard reports of a revolver and looking toward the road he saw Kendall firing a pistol at Powell, who was trotting away fol- lowed by the youth. Five shots were fired. The witness then told of re- moving the wounded man—into his home, where he expired two hours later. He made a dying declaration naming Kendall as his slayer? ¥ IN SLAYING OF DOCTOR| THE SalmSeadt »y THE GENUINE CLOTH MFD.
