Ad Special Dispatch to The HAGERSTOWN, Suit to enjoin the Marvland game warden from destroying fish pots along the Potomac Rived was filed in court here late yesterday by four owners of fish pots in Maryland and West Vir- ginia. Game Warden Le Compte and As sistant Game Warden Crampton were given until June 29 to show cause why they should not permit these devices to remain in the river.

The old law stipulates that fish may be caught with the aid of fish pots in the Potomac River above tidewater. There are some 70 fish pots in the river. ‘Theswork of destroying the fish pots was halted in consequence of the suit until the court decides whether the injunction shall be permanent.
