I the t,obter Doomed T The asents of tbe Massachusetts fith and game commisfion are doing their part in enforcing the short-lobster law, and when the lobster eventually "pasi:es," as many think he will, there will be quite a falling off in the state revenues. One Lynn man was recent ly "soaked" to the tune of $275, over fifty "short" lobsters having been found in his possession, and many other fines of from $10 upward have been assessed. A seafaring man who is familiar with the entire coast and Its lobster fishing and packing indus try from Cape Cod to New Koundl-ind, expressed the opinion that the lobster is surely doomed. "If I had my way," eaid be, "I would repeal all tbe short lobster laws and let the fishermen make a grand scramble for every lob ster In sight.
