She is survived* by a number of nieces and nephews. Miss Darrow had resided for many years on West Main street. Funera) services were conducted at the late residence of the deceased Wednes day at 2 o’clock, the Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Rdesch, pastor of the First M. E. Church of Riverhead, officiating. In terment was in Riverhead Cemetery. Mrs. Theodore G. Topping Funeral services for Mrs. Theo dore G. Topping of Southampton, were held at the home, Sanford street, Monday afternoon. Mrs. Top ping died Sunday, aged eighty-four. She was the oldest member of the Methodist Church in Southampton. Besides her husband, she is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mary Thompson of Hampton Bays and a brother, Wal lace Aldrich of Southampton. The South Dakota girl who at tempted to rob a bank of twenty-four dollars should have been more mind ful of her professional standing. Determined at all costs to prevent the passing of a “ sportsman’s” fish ing bill and to safeguard their local fishing interests, a group of men prominent in the eastern Long Is land fishing industry went to Albany Wednesday to attend a hearing of a bill before the Senate, which bill, the fishermen believe, would be a serious blow to their investments on the Long Island shore. The men re presenting the Long Island fishing industry who journeyed to Albany today included Captain E. J. Ed wards of East Hampton; William R. Morse, president of the Triton Oil & Fertilizer Company of New York, who maintains a large fish fertilizer factory at Promised Land; David Tuthill of Greenport; Captain Wm. S. Downs of Bay Shore, secretary of the Middle Atlantic Fisheries As sociation, and other men from the western end of Long Island. In substance, this proposed bill would make it unlawful for anyone to use pound nets, gill nets, seine or any such similar device in any of the waters along the south shore of Long Island from a point one mile east of Fire Island Inlet ^and extending westerly to the boundary monument between the states of New York and New Jersey, including all inlets and bays and arms of any bay within these waters. The bill proposed, how ever, specifically states that the pro visions shall not apply to the use of hand nets used for taking bait for the purpose of angling. Before leaving for Albany one of the party was indignant over the possibility of this bill’s passage. It would mean, he said, the killing of the trap fishing industry out of Fire Island Inlet. Fishermen of Bay Shore, Babylon and Islip who have approximately half a million dollars invested in fishing gear would be “ out of it.” Men who have been furn ishing the markets of Manhattan with food fish for ydars would find that their own state had legislated against their carrying on with the only business that they knew, he con cluded. The catching of menhadden, which are used for fertilizer and oil, would also be prohibited if this bill is pass ed. There are a number of factories for the manufacture of fertilizer and oil established on eastern Long Is land and those interested in them would also be very hard hit by this proposed measure. The Long Island shore is a good locality for menhad den. They collect along shore." going in and out of the inlets and New York bay, working down the beach and are abundant around Sandy Hook, Beb’s Inlet, Jones’ In let and Fire Island Inlet. Conse quently, the fishermen interested in the fertilizer and oil industry are very anxious to prevent the passing of this bill. “ Menhadden fishermen,” said one man in this business,- “ seldom catch enough food-fish for their own crews to eat, for menhadden never mix with food-fish and are never caught in the fish traps. The proposed bill is unfair to us for we are a catching a fish that is not of interest to the sporting fisherman.” Montauk fishermen - are strong in their support of fishermen along the western shore of Long Island in their fight, for they feel that if the pro posed bill should become a law the boundaries would be next extended as far as Montauk. The mere thought that trap fishing and purse seining might be legislated against by the State of New York seems impossible to men on this end of Long Island; for generations their fathers before them have fished the seas and it is their life. “It seems silly to me,” stated an I executive with one of the biggest fishing concbrns on eastern Long Is-, land indignantly, “ that our lawmak ers in Albany would consider a bill such as this. I have always thought that a fisherman was about the same as a farmer/ one tilled thi soil and reaped his harvest there while the other brought in his crop from the waters. The farmer supplies food stuffs and so does the fisherman.” “ The proposed bill is uneconomic as well,” he continued, “ for they might just as well restrict the farm er from raising crops for sale as to restrict the fishermen from fishing commercially. The fishermen and the public as well will suffer if commer cial fishing is prohibited, for, evert if a man has a taste for fish, he can’t go out in the afternoon to catch a fish if he wants it for his supper that night. Can he?” The present, clash between sports men and the men in the commercial business is the first in three years; the professional fishermen defeated the sportsmen three years ago when a bill of a like nature was brought up. Three years ago a similar bill was | introduced that would have had as disastrous an effect upon the com mercial fishermen as the proposed bill would have, Frank J. Tuthill of East Marion, and a prominent figure in Long Island fishing, made the trip to Albany at that time to protest against the bill in person. Tuthill rose to speak, and, as he gained the attention of his audience, he flourish ed an American flag before the as semblage. “ Gentlemen,” he said, “there’s the flag. My flag. As an American citizen who has spent over sixty years in the fishing busings land The greatest auction sale in the | history of Eastern Long Island is an- i ! nounced by I. Lincoln Seide Com-J I pany, Auctioneers, for Edmund J. I Jonakowski, as agent for the owners, I I on Tuesday afternoon, April 5th, j 1927, at the Hotel Pennsylvania. ! Fourteen well located parcels in the vicinity of the Carl G. Fisher de velopment will be offered for the high bid. Included in the sale will be busi ness property on Main street, and Newtown lane, East Hampton, a business plot on Main street, Ama- gansett, and a number of the . choicest parcels of residential pro perty on the Montaulc Highway and intersecting thoroughfares in East Hampton, in addition to desirable acreage in Bridgehampton. Interest in the Eastern Long Is land real estate situation has been considerably heightened in recent weeks by the steady progress of work on the major building opera tions of the Carl G. Fisher develop ment at Montauk, and the announce ment that a number of the large de velopment companies in the same territory are completing their plans for spring activity. Sayre Estate $46,715; * Church Bequeathed $1,000 j The estate of the late 'Henrietta J. Sayre of Bridgehampton, has a net value of $46,715, according to the transfer tax schedules filed here, and it js diveded as follows: The Methodist Church, - Bridge hampton, $1,000; St. James Metho dist Church, Lynbrook, $5,000; Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, $3,- 000; Brooklyn and Long Island Church Society, $2,000; Bridge hampton Library, $100; John C. Sayre, Warren Sayre, Luellyn Sayre, Stephen Sayre, Gelston Sayre, Mary Sayre and Eugene Sandford, each $1,750.01. The transfer tax amounts to $869.35. Letters of administration in the estate of Caroline H. Terry, value $11,700, have been granted to Howard H. Terry, son, Southold. Of course, if President Coolidge is not to bfe president for another four years, the government will have to get somebody to run the country instead of Secretary Mellon, unless they elect him president in his own right. , ’« “ Are you going to take the flag with you this time,” one of the party was asked this morning as be left for Albany. “ No, I guess not,” was the reply, “ W e’ll depend on the good judge ment of our men in Albany this time. But, if things look too black for the fishermen, we’ll try and have a talk with Governor A1 Smith. He’s an old Fulton Market boy— and should be able to understand ‘fish talk’.” BACON ON TRIP TO PORTO RICO To Study Insular Affairs And Conditions SPONSORED NEW LEGISLATION Will Urge Re-draft of Porto Ricai Act and Proposal for Self Government With the adjournment of Con gress, Representative Robert L. Ba con left Washington on an unofficial trip to Porto Rico and the Virgin Is lands for a study of insular affairs and conditions, in these possessions. As a member of the House Insular Affairs Committee, Representative Bacon has given considerable of his time to the problems of Porto Rico, the Philippines and the Virgin Is lands, and is taking this opportunity of getting some desired information on the spot. Important legislation touching these possessions will be considered at the next Congress. The recent law conferring citizen ship on the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands was due primarily to the sponsorship of the proposal by Re presentative Bacon who bitterly as sailed the anomalous situation these people were placed in, of being “ people without a country,” although under the jurisdiction of the United States. MONTAUK BEACH NUTS C. Lapp (Wally) our honorable office boy, has decided to join Capt. Holland in taking up a course on the “Successful Operation of a Ford I Car.” This school of instruction was | started some time ago by Chief Fiigon, but as yet there hiive been no graduates. If the M. B. D. C. organizes a football team this year, they won’t have any trouble finding a cheer leader. Sam Hoerger has applied for the job and we*think he is well fitted for the position. What say, Sam? How’s your voice? Montauk has a reputation for various things, but— we now claim to have the record for big feet. Joe Sorentien, -our old reliable of the policc department, (claims that Jhe wears a number eleven shoe, but a number twelve feels so comfortable that he wears a number thirteen. This contradicts the table of length — that three feet equals one yard. SPRINGS Wednesday mornipg. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Smith at their home at Broadview on Monday, March 7. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert E. Miller celebrated their eighth wedding an niversary this week by a few days’ visit to New York. Mrs. Edna Thomson of Inwood, L. I., made a brief visit with Her sister Mrs. B. C. Talmage, during the past week. Some people persist in buying wild cat stock as if their bank rolls had nine lives. Leonard Miller has accepted a position with Oscar Brill at East Hampton.

She was the oldest m em ber o f the M ethodist Church in Southampton. Besides her husband, she is survived b y a sister, Mrs. M ary Thom pson o f H am pton Bays and a brother, W allace A ldrich o f Southam pton.
The South D akota girl w ho attem pted to rob a bank o f tw en ty-fou r dollars should have been m ore m indfu l o f her professional standing.
Determ ined at a ll costs to prevent the passing o f a “ sportsm an’s ” fishing bill and to safeguard their local fishing interests, a grou p o f men prom inent in the eastern L on g Island fishing industry w ent to A lbany W ednesday to attend a hearing o f a bill be fore the Senate, which bill, the fishermen believe, w ould be a serious b low to their investm ents on the L on g Island shore. The m en re presenting the L on g Island fishing industry w ho jou rn eyed to A lbany today included Captain E. J . Edw ards o f East H am pton ; W illiam R. M orse, president o f the T riton Oil & F ertilizer C om pany o f N ew Y ork , w ho m aintains a larg e fish fertilizer fa cto ry at Prom ised L an d ; David Tuthill o f G reen p ort; Captain Wm.S. Downs o f B ay Shore, secretary o f the M iddle A tlantic F isheries A s sociation , and oth er m en from the w estern end o f L on g Island.
In substance, this proposed bill w ould m ake it un law fu l f o r anyone to use pound nets, g ill nets, seine or any such sim ilar device in an y o f the w aters a lon g the south shore o f Long Island from a poin t one mile east o f F ire Island Inlet ̂ and extend ing w esterly to the boundary m onum ent betw een the states o f N ew Y ork and N ew Jersey, including all in lets and bays and arms o f any bay within these waters. The bill p roposed , how ever, specifically states that the provisions shall n ot apply to the use o f hand nets used f o r taking bait fo r the purpose o f angling.
B efore leav ing f o r A lban y one o f the party was indignant over the possibility o f this b ill’ s passage. It w ould m ean, he said, the killing o f the trap fishing industry ou t o f Fire Island Inlet. F isherm en o f Bay Shore, Babylon and Islip w ho have approxim ately h a lf a m illion dollars invested in fishing gea r w ould be “ out o f it .” Men w ho have been fu rn ishing the m arkets o f Manhattan with fo o d fish fo r ydars w ould find that their own state had legislated against their carryin g on with the only business that they knew , he con cluded.
The catch ing o f m enhadden, which are used fo r fe rtilizer and oil, would also be prohibited i f this bill is passed . There are a num ber o f factories fo r the m anufacture o f fe rtilizer and oil established on eastern L ong Island and those interested in them w ould also be very hard hit b y this p roposed m easure. The L on g Island shore is a good loca lity fo r m enhadden. T hey co llect along shore." going in and out o f the inlets and New Y ork bay, w orking dow n the beach and are abundant around Sandy H ook, B eb ’s Inlet, Jones’ Inlet and Fire Island Inlet. Consequently, the fisherm en interested in the fe rtilizer and oil industry are very anxious to prevent the passing o f this bill.
“ M enhadden fisherm en,” said one man in this business,- “ seldom catch enough food -fish f o r their own crew s to eat, f o r m enhadden never m ix with food -fish and are n ever caught in the fish traps. The proposed bill is u n fa ir to us fo r we are a catch ing a fish that is n o t o f in terest to the sporting fisherm an.”
M ontauk fishermen - are stron g in their support o f fishermen a lon g the w estern shore o f L on g Island in their fight, fo r they fee l that i f the p ro posed bill should becom e a law the boundaries w ould be n ext extended as fa r as M ontauk. The mere thought that trap fishing and purse sein ing m ight be legislated against by the State o f N ew Y ork seem s im possible to men on this end o f L on g Island; fo r generations th eir fath ers be fore them have fished the seas and it is their life .
“ It seem s silly to m e,” stated an I execu tive with one o f the b iggest fishing concbrns on eastern L on g I s - , land indignantly, “ that ou r lawm akers in A lbany w ould consider a bill such as this. I have alw ays thought that a fisherman was about the same as a fa rm e r / on e tilled t h i soil and reaped his harvest there w hile the other brought in his crop from the waters. The farm er supplies fo o d stuffs and so does the fisherman.”
“ The proposed bill is u neconom ic as well,” he continued , “ fo r they m ight ju st as w ell restrict the fa rm er from raising crops fo r sale as to restrict the fishermen from fishing com m ercially. The fishermen and the public as w ell w ill suffer i f com m ercia l fishing is prohibited, fo r , evert if a m an has a taste fo r fish, he can ’ t go ou t in the a ftern oon to catch a fish i f he w ants it fo r h is supper that night. Can h e ? ”
The present, clash betw een sportsm en and the m en in the com m ercial business is the first in three y ears ; the professional fishermen defeated the sportsm en three years ago when a bill o f a like nature w as brought up.
Three years ago a sim ilar bill w as | introduced that w ould have had as disastrous an e ffect upon the com m ercial fishermen as the proposed bill w ould have, Frank J. Tuthill o f East M arion, and a prom inent figure in L on g Island fishing, m ade the trip to A lbany at that tim e to protest against the bill in person. Tuthill rose to speak, and, as he gained the attention o f his audience, he flourished an A m erican flag b e fo re the assem blage. “ Gentlem en,” he said, “ there ’s the flag. M y flag.
