London, April 17.—England is about to witness a revival of interest in its waterways system through the action of the government in commandeering all canals in the country. The canal system has been allowed to fall into disuse since 1906 when the railways made it impossible for them to com- pete successfully. With the increased freight rates the advocates of the wa- terways system see a big increase in canal traffic. Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice, a consult- ing engineer of wide experience In polernment service, has been ap- pointed chairman of a committee des- ignated by the board of trade, to in- quire into the inland waterways of the country and to see where they can be improved for the benefit of the nation. In the United Kingdom there are Middletown-Portland Bridge. The committee on roads, rivers and the state will pay the expense. Open Ssason for Deer. The committee on fish and game damage done by deer, and the com- mittee deemed it unwise to change the present law at this session.

Mr. Gates of Saybrook favored the retention of the present law and without change. As chairman of the committee, he stated the action tak- en was unanimous for the rejection of the substitute bill Penalty For Trespass.

Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the sub- stitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work. People afflicted with bad breath find | form one intersecting whole, but ow- ing to their haphazard method of con- struction no one single type of boat can navigate the whole of them. Boats locks are not standardized. Nei is there centralization of the con- trol, the canals being under different companies. Railways now own more than 1.300 miles of the canal system, includins most of the important links. As show- ing the influance of the railways on the inland waterways it is stated that no waterborne traffic can enter or leave the rich manufacturing district of Birmingham without passing over water owned by a railway company. Advocates of inland waterways in England say they realize that this country is far hehind Germany and France in utilizing its canals but that they hope the lessons taught by the war, through high freight rates and congestion on the railroads, will re- sult in a bir impetus in canal con- struction in the days to follow peace.

ENGLISH SEAMEN HERE TO MAN THE APPAM Brought as a German Prize. Vessel Into Hampton Roads the breeding season, as the present lav permits. Mr. Fenton spoke in oppo- sition to the present law, and that the claim of agriculturalists for damage by_deer is excessive. Mr. Holt of New London, said the purpose of the bill was for an ope: season of short period, as well as a close season, and by a shot gun. He explained in detail the method of the deer hun. He believed an open hunt- ing sason in Connecticut would be traught with great dager and he fav- ored the acceptance. of the committee report. slr. Foord moved that the bill be re- committed. Mr. Peasley, the majority leader, said he hoped the vote to recommit would not prevail and then spoke in support of the retention of the present law unchanged. He said deer have exterminated orchards and that fruit growers wanted the deer exterminated as is permissible under the presnt law. He was opposed to a bill that permitted sportsmen to kill deer that had grown fat on the product of the farmers. The city sportsmen get the meat that the farmers have raised, even unwillingly, but_who are justly entitled to the deer. He told of going to Maine on adeer hunt, but saw no deer until he returned and saw a big buck in a Connecticut cabbage patch. Mr. Shaw moved that the quesuon be divided. He was ruled out of order, as Mr. Foord’s motion to re- commit was under consideration. Mr. Higgins, of Coventry, told of the damage done by deer, and state that one of the planks of the piatform on which he was elected was in effect that he would favor the retention of the present law, and oppose an open season for the benefit of city sports. The motion to recommit was lost. Mr. Shaw then made a motion that the question be divided. Mr. Peasley opposed and so did Mr. passage. Bank and Trust Companies.

The act concerning the fishing in Housatonic river was taken from the foot of the calendar, on motion of Mr. Keeney of Somers. He said tha¢ the proposed bill meant the close of fishing iver from Derby to the Massa tts line, a distance of fifty miles, during the months of April, May, and June. He said the bill was intended to protect a bass here and there in the river. Mr. Hall, of New Milford, spoke ir favor of the bill which he claimed ‘would conserve the fish in the Housa- tonic, and said that nowadays the black. bass are taken in violation of the but if the proposed bill becomes not only wiil the black bass be protected, hut so #ould every other fish in the Housatonic.
