SCARED THE JUDGE
Coffey Wants Protection From an
Insane Woman

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. H.-Probate
Judge James " Coffeys life was threat
ened by a woman this afternoon and the
police have been instructed to arrest her
on sight The woman is Mrs. Frances
Suchorzynska. She approached Judge
Coffey on the street this afternoon and
made a verbal attack upon him and then,
placing her hand in the bosom of her dress,
remarked that she would kill the judge. In
great excitement Judge Coffey complained
at the police headquarters. In the mean
time the woman had disappeared. Her
enmity toward Judge Coffey is due to the
fact that since she and her husband were
adjudged insane seven years ago their
property has been under the control of
the probate court and Judge Coffey had or
dered the property looked after by guar
dian who did not always comply with the
wishes of his insane wards.

THE WINTER HABITAT OF SALT
WATER FISHES
In the Deepest HoIIows of the Ocean
They COngregate During the
Months of January and February
The Numbers Seem Inexhausti-
bIe-EnOugh to Choke Up Rivers.

Beaufort, N. c., Correspondence ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The most important discovery in
coast fishing so far has been made
by the fishermen offshore here, and
will be far-reaching results obtained in
the future through improved methods
of deep-sea SEEMING.
The discovery offshore here Is
nothing less than that of winter nur-
sery Of our littoral species of fish.
From six to eight fathoms below the
surface Of the water the fish have been
found to be literally swarming in
countless numbers, and hooks and
seines let down to the depth invaria-
bly, bring up rich hauls No amount
of coaxing and temptation can induce
the fish to leave their warm water hab-
itat far below the surface, and the fish
ermen have to adopt new methods of
catching them.
The discovery is important in modi-
flying our prevailing methods of catch
ing marketable food fish and in cheap
ening the supply in winter and in fur
nishing the needy workers with en-

erty and hardship often press most Sc
verely upon them Naturalists have
believed for some time that most Of
our sea- food fishes migrated to warmer
climates in winter, as our birds do, and
returned in the spring, but now it seems
that they merely swim offshore some
distance and drop down into deep cor
rugations, and remain happy and con-
tented until spring returns.
The fish are found off Beaufort and
Morehead City in deep holes or CORFU
cations. In the summer time they
come inshore further, and swarm
around the oyster beds and the bays
and inlets. A great variety of food
fish is found in this winter nursery such
as the red drum, grey trout or weak
fish, spotted sea trout, bluef1sh, cronk-
ers, and many others. Last winter the

fishermen, with deep-sea lines, man.
aged to make big hauls over these win
ter pasture fields. They let down lines
from five to ten fathoms and brought
up big game. But this was soon con-
sldered too slow work, and special
deep-sea nets were manufactured for
the purpose. These nets were heavily
weighted, and when sunk to the proper
depth they brought up enormous hauls
Of fish.
This winter the fishing has been bet
ter than ever. Improvements have
been made upon the nets, and the fish
ermen have been scoring wonderful
successes. In the first five days of
February $4,000 pounds of trout, and
l25,00O cronkers were caught in this
manner about two and one-half miles
off shore from Fort Macon, near the
sea buoy, where the depth averages
six fathoms. The fishing has been SO
good in places that the men have made
as high as $40 each in one day. Men
all along the shore out Of employment
are f1ocking to the place to take part
in the fishing. A man provided with a
deep-sea liLe and hooks who is willing
to endure Che hardships can make a
good living in this way. But it is no
easy work to operate a line six or eight
fathoms in length, with several pounds
of lead and a fve-pound fish on the
other end. Some of the line fishermen
come in at night with a boatload Of
fish, but their hands are so cut and
mutilated that they are unfit for work
the next day. Thick buckskin gloves
onq, the hands are necessary for the
proper protection of the skin.
A new sort of seine has been used
here this winter for the first time. It
is designed just for this deep water
fishing. 1t closes up in the shape of a
long, narrow eel pot with a heavy
weight at the lower end. 1t bangles
over the side of the fishing smack by
several ropes, which are manipulated
either by the men or a tackle. When
the lead reaches the bottom the seine
Is allowed to rest there for some time
while the men spread it open. This IS
done by means of ropes. Four row.
boats leave the smack, and each one
pulls rope attached to corner Of the
seine. Thus it Is spread out on the bot
tom of the sea, directly under the fiocks
of sea fish. Then it is gradually hauled
up. A deep pocket in the bottom of
the seine is quickly filed with so many
fish that they threaten to break
through the meshes by their very
weight. In each haul the fishermen
bring up at least 500 pounds of fish.

If every man could live an out door life,
