ST EADiLY GROW ING
Widespread Interest in the Seining Of the
Canal.
substantisl and Gratifying Co-Opera-
tion In the Work by Anglers
Who-JGant the Bass Saved.

The success which has met the efforts to
seine the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and
transfer the bass and the food fish con-
tained therein to the waters of the Potomac
river has excited great interest among the
anglers. who had regarded the result of the
project at first with considerable doubt
There Is general sentiment that the sein-
ing should be recommended as soon as the
holes and pools In the canal are entirely
freed from the fish which would other
wise perish before spring. The reason the
fish die in the canal is because the water
left remaining in the pools when the canal
is drawn off slowly but surely dries up, and
from the middle of February until naviga-
tween its banks. Consequently, when the
water evaporates and the mud freezes the
fish are destroyed by thousands.
Mr.. Charles Laird of the finance division
OF the Post Office Department, who has
won International fame as rifle shot, and
fatigable and enthusiastic anglers in the
country. called at The Star office this
morning and declared that the seining OF
the canal and the saving Of the bass
therein could not be estimated in its valu-
able effect on restocking the Potomac with
the game fish. He proffered any assistance
that he might be able to give toward fur
thering the project, and suggested that ne
would secure subscriptions from anglers
who have not hitherto contributed to the
good cause Mr. Laird's generous offer was
gladly accepted, and subscriptions handel
to him will be deposited with The Eveaing
Star and acknowledged through its col
umnS.
The record of the bass fund continues to
grow, as will be seen In the following

Local Men Who Will Go to Indfnn-
apOlis Next Week.
Mr.. B. H. Warner. Mr.. Clarence Nor
ment Mr.. E. s. Parker and Mr.. S. w.
Woodward will go to indianapolis as dele
gates of the board of trade to attend the
mo n .ary conference to be held there Tues
day next.
Representative men from all parts Of
the country will assemble there for the
purpose of considering the best measures
for doing something to improve existing
conditions by dealing in a practical way
with the currency question.
Said Mr.. Warner today: II suppose ma
jority of the delegates will favor the es-
tablishment of commission TO carefully
consider and recommend some plan of pro-
cedure. am going to learn-to meet men
who are actually engaged in affairs and
get their views.
.I am in favor of sound money, the best
currency, and opposed to cheap money, but
1 am not so welded to the existing ma
tional banking system as to think it can
not be improved. 1t has been of great ser
vice to the country, but in my opinion the
time has arrived when 1t is desirable to
permit the state banks, under certain
proper and carefully guarded regulations,
to issue their own bank notes. The day of
wildcat banking has passed. Every state
will be anxious to maintain It's own credit
for upon that it's prosperity must depend
The several legislatures enact laws regu-
Iating the collection of debts and the en-
forcement Of contracts, which really exer-
else a controlling influence IN the assets
Of the banks, and our country has grown
so rapidly that local legislation is required
to meet local needs.
'In any event, Congress will ;'ot broaden
the national banking law until some i'm
portant concessions are made, and the
sooner this Isl understood the earlier some
thing in the way of relief can be accom-
plished. . 81
Members of Congress, as rule. are con-
trolled in aheinactioas and votes by what
they understand to be the wishes of a ma
jority of their constituents and no one
who has obse4yed the last campaign can
fall to undsrstAnd that many of the people,
justly or not, demand some early change in
the currency system. Cabinet ministers
members H Congress and prominent men
generally have been talking depression,
lack of confidence and the heed Of reme-
dy so long3thap some prompt action should
be taken. Il q
But no, matter what the monetary con-
ference may seek to do, no legislation can be
secured which Is not based upon important
concessions by the national banking inter-

seining of the canal. and in the Sun this
morning he says the accounts of the de-

The bass. he states, are placed in buckets
and emptied into the river, but carp, eels,
large catfish mullets and suckers are Civ

remaining fishl are put into the river in

from General Manager Nicholson, all bass
will be taken out by lockkeepers and put

of killing all the fish we saving them.
Fully 5000 white perch have been put
into the river between Harper's Ferry and
Sharpsburg Landing. They were planted
at Cherry Run some years ago and have
propagated wonderfully. This is the first
year in which they have been seen in the
canal in any numbers"
DR.. Massamore thinks Mr.. Oliver got his
information from a party of ten seiners
who went to fish the canal on their own
account with a 120-foot seine. but were
stopped. He says that in the past the fish
were in this way seined out by the thou

The country people threatened to blow IT
