The District Commissioners took plunge
into publicity yesterday and SO far forgot
themselves as to admit the reporters
dangerous fellows-into the chamber of Sc
crecy to listen to q discussion Of a ques-
ton of more than passing interest to the
taxpayers of the District grave charge
had been made against the integrity of the
walls designed to enclose a new school.
The apprehension of the public had been
aroused lest the structure. when completed.
might collapse and crush scores Of young
lives. The arguments of those who ac-
cIsed the work as defective could not be
regarded except with the greatest interest
by every parent in the city. 1t Is vet to be
learned that the presence Of the reporters,
followed by their faithful record of what
happened. did any harm to any person or
any interest. Yet 1t is to be feared that the
Commission ers may now relapse into silence
and mystery. drawing into their shell like
the snail after it has made tremendous
effort at speed. Indeed the analogy be-
tween the Commissioners, in the self-inl-
posed functions as editors. and the tardy
gastropod has become very marked since
they first undertook to furnish the local
papers with all official tidings without de-
lay. Perhaps the Commissioners have be-
come 1mbued with the Sem1-troplcal idea OF
soonness; the influence of the land of the
manana may have spread even as far IS
First street. 1t is indeed little hard OH
the snail to make this classification and
comparison for it is trait of that interest
ing mollusk to achieve the end of his jour
ney whatever may be the undertaking. He
gets there after awhile On the other hand
there is a reasonable suspicion that The
ooti o1i
and proof-reaGe rs. dc not turn out a com
piete list of all the official news. There Is
a strong indication that the blue pencil Is
welded with no sparing hand in the sane
tum sanctorum of the recently-established
news shop in the District buildings. In
fact the periodical promulgations Of facts
by the secretary of the board greatly re-
semble expurgated editions Of famous
works.

the two methods. This might In q sense
operate against the interests Of the passen-
ger. but it will protect in a greater meas
ure the rights Of Inhabitants Of small towns
and perhaps will pave the way for a wider
and more immediate application to city
routes Of the equity that is evidently the
inspiration Of this decision. It might be
embarrassing for the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. which was the aggressive cause Of
this decision. to be confronted with that
principle in Washington by being obliged to
pay for its Use Of the thoroughfares Of this
city which it now occupies at great con-
venience to itself and at great ianger to
the citizens and to the detriment of their
property without making the least compen-
sation for the privilege This decision also
brings to mind once more the always in
teresting question Of the free distribution
Of valuable franchises to street railway
companies. Probably the safest rule that
could be laid down to govern the whole
matter would be to make every corporation
occupying public space pay for that right.

Aiming loves darts in melodies

TO PROTECT THE TERRAIN.
Movement to Organize n Fisher
mems Protective Association.

A movement is on foot 20 organize a
hshermen's protective association for
the enforcement Of the fishery laws A
petition with over thirty signatures OF
the terrapin fishermen in Chatham cOun-
~ is being circulated with view TO or
ganizing first for the enforcement OF the
law regulating terrapin fishing
Inc decrease OF The terrapln catches
caused by the fishing out OF season Is
causing much anxiety among those who
make their living from terrapin. There are
between forty and nifty white terrapin
fishermen in Chatham county.
IL IS the purpose Of those who have
the matter In hand TO secure the unani-
nous cooperation or. as nearly so as pos
sible, OF all the white fishermen in the
movement 50 that the society when or
canned shall represent the entire terra
pm industry in this section.
As soon as all or nearly ali OF the
nshermen here have signed the petition
IL will be taken to Darien and Brunswick
and the effort will be made to make the
society include the terrapin interests Of
me entire Georgia coast Mr.. Randolph
IAN who Is one of the largest terrapin
nshermen on the coast Is circulating the
petition and will go from here to Bruins
wick with II.
The present fish law prevents the catch
ing Of terrapin between March ! and July
.; IN other words. that IS the closed sea-
son. The open season, while IL extends
from July y to March !, amounts to little
atlef Dec. J. The fishing Is done from
Aug. l to Dec. J. four months During
the spring is the LAYING season. Not only
IS the terrapin caught out Of season worth
less, but catching them then destroys the
eggs ana decreases the production. a ter
fapln lays from sixteen to tWenty-four
eggs IN the season, which means just that
humDer OF terrapin II the eggs are
matched. Hundreds Of dozen of terrapin
are caught by colored fishermen during the
laying season, who sell them to the fisher
men, VINO own pens, and who keep them
until Iail, when they command good
price. A tefrapin caught out OF season,
however, is worth less than one half Of
fat
Aside from fixing the season for fishing
the law defines the size OF net which
snail be used. The legal sized net has
mesh sufficiently large to allow the small
terrapln, which are not fully grown. to
escape. Many fishermen use nets with
small meshes to hold everything that is
caught A violation Of the law is pun
isn4DIe py a fine or Imprisonment, or by
The purpose Of the organization is to
prosecute all violations of the law with
view 70 protesting the terrapin.
ABOUT LOO dozen terrapin is the usual
yearly catch in Savannah waters. Ten
years ago the catch was more than
double that. and the terrapin brought
much higher prices. The majority of the
nshermen realize that unless something
IS done to prevent Illegal fishing the in
dustry viii be so depleted that in a few
years not more than few terrapin will
be lett, ana their occupation will be
