PBNNsGRovE, N. j., Nov. 20 The
shad fishermen along the Delaware
river from Psulsboro to Pennsgrove,
have organized Shad Flshermen's
Protective Association, and the follow.
ing officers have been elected: Pfesi-

George Watson; Treasurer, George
Jordan; Sscrt tary, George P. Cam
Assit tant Secrt tsry. Sylvester Bowen;
Inside Watch, Harry Bowcp; Twine
Agent, E. 8. Harris.
The association was formed for the
purpose of looking after the interests
of the fishermen of South Jersey.
The President says: "There are a lot
of spoi tsmen, gunners, fishermen and
fish wardens In the upper pal, OF the
State who are agitatipg a repeal of all
game and fish laws and in their stead
desire to In troduce a bill which, if it
becomes law, will destroy our bust
ness.
We cannot afford to- sit idle and
allow these men to take away our liv-
ing. Such laws as these men advocs to
would be en- outrage against the
people of South jersey, therefore the
members of the Shad Fishermen's As
ISOLATION will be g. unit against any
bill that may be Introduced in the
Legislature discriminating In favor of
the fishermen of Pennsylvania and
Delaware and against the fishermen Of
New jersey"
The law thst the Upper Jerseymen
desire provides for close day in the
middle of the week to give the shad
chance 10 reach north Delaware river.
The South Jersey fishermen would be
at great loss to have a close day.
and they will use every means to pre-
ver the passage of such a bill In the
Legisls ture this winter.

A MISTAKE MADE.
He Had No Beer, No Whtskey,
Nothing but Harmless, Sots
Gems.

Somebody has made mistake.
There was no need of Willie Foxy Gar
rison skipping out of town and re-
manning for Sc yeral months. There
was no beer on the Fair grounds, and
the Municipal League made mistake.
That is if the testimony offered be-
fore the Mayor was entirely true.
There were several witnesses called
this morning In the case, but none OF
them could remember e, tting beer on
the fair grounds last August.
The testimony showed thst Foxy
had stand for le sale of drinks, al
the we,t end of the grand stand.
There was big run on ginger ale.
Men stayed about the stand and drank
eight or ten glasses Of the ginger with.
out turning hair. They never found
ginger ale so popular, but on this oc
casion they enjoyed it hugely Net
one of the half dozen witnesses get
anything else. They would have been
surprised if they had.
City Solicitor Trenchard used all his
persuasive cunning. His questions
were many and varied, but the ginge,
ale story started in the beginning and
1t ran through thewhole story. Gin
ger ale and nothing else.
M. Lippincott represented Garri
son. His ask was an easy one for the
witnesses for the city were all his way
When the city rested, there was no de
tense to make. Lippincc tt asked for 6
discharge. Mr.. Trenchard could no1
contend for conviction under the evi
dence, and the Mayor had nothing
e'se to do than allow Willie to slip out
of the net and depart.
