Mr. Lones was arrested by |Earle R. Greene, representative tof the United States Biological Survey and his assistant, Joseph |E. Warren. At the preliminary ‘hearing it was brought out that Mr. Lones had been warned he was liable to arrest unless he se- cured the required license. Hearing for Alvio Acevedo, also arrested by Mr. Greene for hunting without a license, is ex- pected to occur today. Mr. Greene has been advised by the Biologic- al Survey that the case should be handled locally rather than through a state court, which may render a very strong sentence. The arrest was made Nov. 1. Gun has been confiscated in the Acevedo case and the two ‘doves he had shot were confis- cated and turned over to Mer ,cedes Hospital. Mr. Greene emphasized that the dove hunting season will of- ficially close Wednesday and said ‘that non-observance of the clos- ing date will be followed. by ar rests.

B, Hatters- ley, Oak Park, Illinois, who _ have been staying at the Overseas Hotel with their daughter Gene and son Gor- don, for the past ten days, have had several days of excellent fishing with Cap- tain Ted Canova in his boat the “Mary B”. The catch has included a dozen varieties of fish caught in the Gulf Stream, along the reefs and in chan- nels with the young Hat- tersleys getting their full share of large barracuda, jacks, grouper and dolphin. On Sunday, Mr. Hatters- ley caught the first sailfish of the season here. It was a perfect specimen, seven feet five inchs in length and weighing fifty-five pounds. Lightly hooked, it required over half an hour to land. The Hattersleys are en- thusiastic anglers. They have fished a number of lakes in Wisconsin, other waters in Canada and on the Pacific coast. They are convinced, however that the finest all- round fishing is provided at Key West. They returned this year to repeat the en- joyable vacation they spent last November. Mr. Hatters- ley is an executive of Sears, Roebuck and Company in the offices at Chicago.
