THEY REPLY TO MATHEWS 'Answer of the Majority of tile Joint .Committee on Oyster Legislation. THE RETORTS MADE BY THEM Say Mr. Mathews Was Absent a Part of Time and Docs Not' Know Just What Was Done. Hons. W, D. Cardwoll, E. C. Jordan, A. D. Wnlklne and Julian Bryant, tho majority of tho loglslntlvo Joint Commit? tee on Oyster Legislation, have prepared a statement In tho nnturo of an answer to tho minority report filed by' Hon. 8. Wilklns Mathews, n. member of thu com? mittee, In tho course of which they an? swer In eorno detail tho asHcrllotiH and arguments of Mr. Mathews and defend tho ' accuracy of their report. It Is n typewritten document of moro than six puges, and therefore too long to print in full, The committee denies that It examined only ten lior cent, of the area, embraced within thy Baylor survey. Tliey stty In reply that forty per cent, of tho.State's oyniur rock la situated in Accomac und Northampton counties, and that they ex? amined practically ull this. They deny that they only spent a small portion of tho time In examination. They declare that they worked all the seventy-seven days except In storms, and even then talked to the people. They retort that Mr. Mathews himself was with the committee but a portion of the time, and could not tell what tho majority actually did. Tho committee specify various extensive areus examined, without Mr. Mathews ac? companying them. REPLY TO CHARGE. ' An to tho charge that, they picked the rocks to examine at tho suggestion of packers and planters, actuated by solf InLerest, they reply that It could not be expected that any save those desiring to lease rock would tnko the trouble to show ?the committee where the Imrren or de? pleted portion was. Accompanying the committee wero twenty limes as many longer* na planters, and the longors V'ere represented whenever they examined rock. The committee then quotes Mr. Ma? thews against himself, printing the pre? amble of a hill offered last year by him In the Houso and enacted Into law, as follows: Whereas, there are within the Hints of tho Baylor survey, on tho eastern or ocean side of Accomac county, many acres designated,'as natural oyster rock, which aro not now natural oystur rock, much of which mild ground wos Included In' said survey by misapprehension, and much of which has been depleted since H.-iid survey was made, to such an extent that there Is no hard substance loft upon which oysters can catch; and Whereas tills condition exists on tho ?-.intern or ocean side of wild county to :ir. extent far more Horlous than in any r ll;er counties of the State, a KTeat. neces? sity exists for an Immediate remedy; and Whereas tho State at thlB time receives no revenue from the said ground, etc. .?The act has since been repealed, but tne facts recited therein by Mr. Mathews, ihe committee aver, have not changed. There are other counties In which a more n< rlous condition exists than in Acco mnc. SAFEGUARD PRODUCTIVE ROCK. The majority promise to rigidly safo Kuard tho productive rocks from any dan? ger as a result of leasing out barren or depleted rock. Tho committee cannot i-ee how the lease of depleted rock can pauperize bo many, ns Mr. Mathews nl leges It will. They contend that on the contrary, employment will be furnished those now eking out a livelihood and at more remuneration. Ten acres, they con? tend, when planted will furnish more em? ployment nnd bettor returns than 100 Jjarren ncres, as now. The committee deny that there Is any? thing In the Jordan bill that will injure iho clamming Industry. This clnw catch clams under their oyster license. No extra tax Is exacted therefor. Working of clam heels In oyster spawning scaBon. the com? mittee contends, tends to the destruction of tho oyster beds. The comsiltteo answers the charge that negroe-H will ho enlisted as employes by planters by asserting that alnrtjo majority of the tongers aru negroes. The commit? tee denies that the Jordan bill will "break tip" or In any way affect tlio crabbing In? dustry, as Air. Mathews charges would rcstitl. Tho amount collected from crab? bers last year was but $570. Tho commltte express amazement at Mr. Mathews' chargo that there has been no diminution of the quantity of seed oysters. Every tonger who appeared, they reply, admitted that tho quantity of both peed and marketable oysters on the nat? ural rocks 1b decreasing year by year. The increase In the business Is attributed to planted beds, and it Is thus that tho com inittee bill hopes to foster the Industry nnd Increase tho State's revenue. The nnswer of tho committee quotes statis? tics showing how tho Industry hns-grown in other States and countries by the very plan they propose, viz.: Lease nnd culti? vation of tho barren or depleted rook.

From tho press stand sixty yards ucros3 to where tho runner was thrown it was Impossible to recognizo jhe player with the. ball, and all tho reporters erred In attributing the run to Pollard, who had made many dashing gains.

Tho turkey which President Roosevelt and family will discuss on Thanksgiving Day will not bo among?tho many tho President will purchase.

Snatching a Pocket-Book From a Lady. POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION Dragged Her Along the Street for Nearly a Block, as She Screened, What may turn out to be a most Im? portant arrest was made by Policeman Wiltshire, of Ire Second District, last night about 10 o'clock, when he landed be? hind tho Second Station bars a', negro named James Taylor, better known us "Tho Kid." The specific, chargo against him was pocket-book snatching, and ho was Identi? fied by Mrs. Gus Perkinson aB tho man who grabbed her purse containing J32.50, as sho wns about to enter her front gate, at No. 1918 East Broad Street, shortly after S o'clock last night. Mrs. Perkinson had been to her huH bnnd's place of business to tako him cer? tain articles of clothing, and was return? ing home. DRAGGED HETt ALONG. When near her front door, the negro inn up to her, caught hor purse, which was hanging from her wrlBt by a small chain. Mrs. Perklnfion held tight to the chain and screamed. The negro nulled savagely, and dragged tho lady almost to Nineteenth Street. Finally, the chain gavo away and the man ran ilf. Sho had t'.mo enough to see him arrJ to b? able to Identify him. She quickly sent word to Mr. Perkinson, the police were notified nnd Officer Wiltshire went out on tho case. The description given him was a good one, and tallied with that of a negro ho hnd under suspicion for some time. He went to his room at No. 1421 Brown Street, and arrested the man. PREPARED FOR A TRIP. Taylor had Just purchased a new over? coat, a satchel and other articles, and hnd evidently prepared himself for a trip. In his pocket he had $4.53. He was carried to the station-house, and at that place told Sergeant Hold croft that ho had bought the new stuff with money he had won at cards In a place on Seventeenth Street. After placing him In a cell Mrs. Per? kins was sent for. The moment she saw tho negro sho said: "That's the man," and It seemed a set? tled fact that the pocket-book snatcher who had operated around tho city for some time, and against whom several complaints had been lodged, had at last been caught. The negro denied that he was the man wanted, but the Identifica? tion was so complete, and the circum? stances surrounding tho coho wero of such a nature, as to cause the police to feel that they had the right man. Others will try to identify him this morning. Tho case will be heard In the Police Court to-day. United States Court.
