Asked for Opinion. In reply to a letter from Swepson Earle, Maryland conservation commis- sioner, asking for an opinion of the decision of the attorney general of West Virginia, William P. Lane, jr., attorney general of Maryland, said: 3 “You call to my attention an opinion | recently rendered by the attorney gen- | eral of West Virginia in which, reply- | ing upon the compact of 1785 between the States of Maryland and Virginia, it was held that a citizen of West Vir- !ginia might fish i the waters of the | Potomac River from the West Virginia bank or in the river itself without ob- | taining a Maryland license i “In the case of Middlekauff vs. Le- | Compte, 149 Md. 621, the Court of -Ap- | peals of Maryland held that the pro- | visions of the compact of 1785 relating | to the preservation of fish in the Poto- | | mac River have no application to the | upper non-navigable portion of the | 1ver, In that case the power of the Maryland game warden and the deputy game warden to destroy fish pots main- residents of West Virginia in non-navigable portion of the | Potomac River was upheld, although the legislation under which the wardens acted (Art. 39, Secs. 81 and 90, Bagby's Code, 1924) had been adopted without reference to the compact. “I am therefore o the opinion that residents of Virginia or of West Vir- ginia may not fish in the waters of the Potomac River above Little Falls— | dividing line between the tidal and non- tidal portions of the river—without first obiaining & license under Sections 76 and 77 ot Articie 39." What the anglers in Virginia and West Virginia want to know is how to proceed | this Summer on their piscatorial _out- ings, especially those in the latter State. The Maryland Conservation Department wili certainly follow the ruling of its attorney general and make arrests for violation of her fishing laws, and the the decision of the attorney general of that State, are apt to find themselves in an embarrassing situation if caught by a Maryland game warden. Swepson | Earle, Maryland conservation commis- | sioner, says he will be compelled to have his wardens enforce the law. In all probability the matter will final- ly go through the courts to the Supreme | unless & plan outlin>d at the meeting of the con- commissioners of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, held at the December, is adopted. The plan sug- gested at that meeting was to have a commission to make regulations govern- | ing fishing in the Upper Potomac, said commission to be composed of the fish commissioners of those States and a representative of the Bureau of Fish- eries, Federal Officer Comments. Lewis Radcliffe, deputy commissioner | of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, when informed of the ruling of the at- | torney general of Maryland, said | “I'am of the opinion that Maryland has the last say in matters pertaining to fishing 1 the Potomac River under the compact of 1785. There should be some reciprocity entered into between Mary- land, Virginia and West Virginia in re- | gard to fishing in the Upper Potomac, | and I will go a bit further and say that | motorists_traveling irom one State to | another should be given a 5 or 10 day | fishing license at a nominal fee of $1 or | For example, take a man traveling across the country, say from Seattle, Wash., who wants to fish.

WINCHESTER, Va, April 21—A story of remarkable exhibition of will power and utter disregard of intense suffering_was told by relatives today of Mrs, Nannie Lineburg of Mine Bank, this county, who expired yesterday from the effects of a severe searing Friday, last week Mrs. Lineburg was burning brush in the garden of her home when the back of her dress caught afife. Practically all her clothes were burned off, vet she walked a quarter of a mile to the home of relatives. After treatment she fed the chickens and hogs on the place and Priday night retired as usual, tell- ing friends the next morning that she had rested comfortably. Saturday Dr. Spiggle was summoned from Strasburg and he informed her that she could not live long, adding that it was a miracle that death had not resulted earlier. During the re- mainder of her intense suffering Mrs. Lineberg never uttered a single groan until death removed her yesterday. She was 83 years of age. LAW ON ROADSIGHS MEETS APPROVAL Interfederation Conference Believes Maryland Legisla- tion to Be Satisfactory. The bill passed by the recent Mary- land Legislature to regulate and tax billboards was approved as promising satisfactory control of the signboard nuisance by the Interfederation Con- ference, meeting in the United States Chamber of Commerce Building last night. The conference is composed of delegates from the civic federations in Montgomery County. Md.. Arlington County, Va. and the District of Co- lumblia. In Line With Sentiments. Frederic P. Lee, vice president of the Montgomery County Federation, point- ed out that the billboard measure was in line with the sentiments of the con- ference as codified some months ago. The bill Mr. Lee referred to places all signs within 500 feet of a public road under the jurisdiction of the State Roads Commission and taxes them at the rate of one-half cent per square foot a year. According to Stephen James, presi- dent of the Montgomery Civic Fed- eration. the bill will not result in a “sweeping abolition of billboards,” but will place their regulation in a State agency which is given authority to re- move many that are objectionable. The bill was hailed, therefore, as a “vic- tory” for the civic forces that have been working for roadside beautifica- tion in Maryland for many years, Legislation Reviewed. Mr. James also reviewed other legis- lation passed by the Assembly on rec- | ommendation of the federation, calling particular attention to the measure authorizing a bond issue for the pur- chase of land for parks under the terms of the Cramton act. Only one bill, that providing an increase in the expense allowance of school board mem- bers, was passed in opposition to the sentiments of the federation, he re- ported. As chairman of the Public Finance and Budget Committee of the federa- tion, Mr. Lee reported he was making a comparative survey of the tax situa- tion in Montgomery County and north- west suburban Washington. The re- port should be ready for presentation at the next meeting, he told the con- ference. ROADBED BEING LAID Last Step on Four-Mile Run Bridge Being Taken. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md, April 21— One man was killed, a number injured and numerous dwellings destroyed as glant forest fires, fanned by high winds, swept over thousands of acres of virgin timber, converting the mountains of Western Maryland and Southern Penn- sylvania into roaring infernos today. Trapped by a shifting wind, John Leydig, 20, was burned to death near Hydman, Pa. His brother, Irving Ley- dig, and Raymond Burley, the latter a | forest warden, were seriously burned at | the same time and are in the hospital at Cumberland, Md. The three men were part of a crew of 250 fighting the flames at that point. In Washington County, Md., the most disastrous fires in several decades de- stroyed at least half a dozen homes in the vicinity of Blairs Valley, 15 miles northwest of Hagerstown. and _this morning had crossed the Mason-Dixon line mto Pennsylvania. 1t was necessary to plow around the Catholic Church at Blairs Valley to save that edifice. Thousands of acres of orchards in the Hancock fruit belt were menaced by another blaze which destroyed the home and shops of W. B. Sevolt, the barn of C. Yonkers and then spread to the mountains. Others to lose their homes were Henry Briden- dahl and Ernest Mills. A number of | small mountain homes and farm build- | ings also were leveled by the flames. William Steele and Bruce Hull, fire | wardens returning from the scene of the flames in Blairs Valley early today, reported about 3.000 acres of timber on the Maryland side had been burned, and Heath Stone Mountain, on the Pennsylvania_side, where hundreds of men were still fighting the fire, was a | mass of flames and apparently out of | control. High winds carried embers | hundreds of yards, and all efforts at | backfiring were futlle, the wardens| said. | ° | the Alexandria Hospital for X- 1 In Man’s Death | head injuries. pital for X-rays for Three Children Receive Minor In-i juries in Mishap at Alexandria.
