BILL WOULD CURTAIL BLACK BASS SEASON | Zihlman Offers Measure, at Request of Commissioners, of Interest to Fishermen. At the request of the District Com- missioners, Chairman Zihlman of the House District committee today in- troduced a bill to extend the present closed season for catching black bass | (otherwise known as green bass and chub) and_ crappie (otherwise known as calico bass and strawberry bass) between January 1 and May 29 of each year. The Commissioners explanfed that the object of this legislation is to extend the closed season for black bass within the waters of the Poto- mac River in the District of Co- lumbia. Under the present law the closed season for bass extends for a period of only two months, namely, from April 1 to May 29, inclusive. This is belieyed to be entirely too short. The Potomac Anglers’ League, which is a chapter of the Izaak Wal- ton League of America, and which is the only fish protective organization operating in the District of Columbia, has urged this legislation. Under the present short closed season it is be- lieved to be only a question of time before the Potomac and its tributaries within the District will be depleted of their entire game fish life. During | the months of January, February and March the fish are more or less in a dormant state. Last year the State of Maryland, becoming alarmed at a similar condition in its jurisdiction, declared a closed season for bass in the upper tideless portion of the Po- tomac River as well as its inland waters, from December 1 to July 2. The closed season in the State of Vir- ginfa runs from March 15 to June 15, but it is understood that a movement is on foot to extend this closed period.V Ordered First Lieut. John P.

PLOTIS CHARGED - BYDRY OFFICIAL {New Jersey Administrator | Adds Mystery to Series of Arrests and Resignations. By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J., January 5—Pro« hibition circles today were puzzled by a serles of events which began with the arrest of a young couple Who were connected in some manner by Administrator Ira L. Reeves with a supposed plot to ruin his reputation and drive him from office. The couple, who said they were MF. and M irmaly Meineide of New York g arrested in West New York, N. J., on charges of m- personating Federal officers and at- tempted extortion from a saloon keep- | er. The woman said she was a daugh- ter of Col. Earl McManus, chief en- forcement agent and special investi- gator for Col. Reeves. This, however, was denied by Col. McManus and Isadore Stern, their counsel. Shortly after the arrests Col. Resves announced the dismissal of Col. Mc Manus “for the good of the service. At the same time the administrator told of a comspiracy against him, backed by bootleggers, who had raised $150,000 for the purpose. Seven secret service men from Washington were investigating the matter, he said. The mystery became deeper when, at a meeting of the directors of the Ivori-Craft Co., a manufacturing con- cern, Col. Reeves resigned as presi- dent and member of the board and Isadore Stern resigned as counsel. Col. McManus was once sales man- ager for the concern. BUYS CONTROL OF FIRM.
