Far Side Rule Responsible.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
If the citizens of Washington who have
suffered so long from railway crossing IA
talities would only take time for a brief
retrospectfon they would Immediately
come to the conclusion that the time has
arrived and more than ripe for concerted
action in demanding that the proper au-
thoritfes put stop to this "far side' rule
now In operation by the local railway con-
Germs, which has been the primary cause
of so many irremediable casualties Prior
to this "far side innovation, although not
immune from accidents, our people suf-
fered to a much less extent from these
now too frequent catastrophes The Com
missioners should lose no more valuable
time and should follow out the plan as sug-
gested by Chief Paris of the fire depart
ment, who recommends the near side
rule, together with certain compulsory
stops along the different lines operated
within the fire limits, and until such regu-
lations have been enforced we will con-
tinue to witness run-overs, knock-downs,
collisions, etc. WIN. H. T. F.

LocoMoB1LE WRECKED.
Explosion Leaves q Pile of Scraps
Slight Fires Reported.

ShBnt rIreB NepOrte0s
A locomobile owned by DIR. w. F. Corey
of 1905 R street northwest was complete
ly wrecked by an explosion about O'Clock
this morning in the Columbia stables, No.
1I41 Johnson avenue. William Brown, the
watchman, was the only person in the
stable at the time. The noise attracted
Brown to the part of the stable in which
the locomobile had been left early last
night, and all that was left to tell the story
was pile Of broken iron and steel.
Gasoline from the tank had spilled on the
floor and caused a fire. The flames had
not gained much headway,- and they were
extinguished by the watchman before much
damage was doEe. No. 8 engine company
was summoned as a precautionary measure,
but the firemen found nothing to do upon
their arrival at the stable.
The locomobile was valued at 81 ,O12 and
was not insured. Not more than $l5 dam
age was done to the stable which is COW
cred by insurance.
The fire department was called out about
o'clock last night by the sounding of an
alarm for a slight blaze in the variety
store Of William Ellis, No. 1900 c street
southwest. There was no damage done to
the property
An alarm was turned in from box 129
about IL 30 o'clock last night by Special
Officer Young for a fire in the chimney OF
the Bijou Theater. The officer saw a blaze
and summoned the fire department.. No
damage was done.

POLICE CHIEFS RESPONSE.
Action on Request for Increased Fore,
in Southeast Washington.

Reporting upon the petition of Mr.. Guy
NJ. Neely and other citizens of Southeast
washington for a greater number of po-
licemen in that section the chief Of police,
Major Sylvester, states that his depart
ment is utilizing the limited force at its
disposal to the best advantage. He informs
the Commissioners that he realizes that the
force is insufficient in numbers. and he re-
fers to the annual report for the year 1900,
wherein the conditions existing in the sew
eral precincts are set forth.
with many men sick says the major,
"the force has been depleted more than
usual, and 1t has been necessary through
out the past season to detail men from one
precinct to another temporarily in order to
meet emergencies The shifting of the men
in this way has been a source of mucn
anxiety to the superintendent, but has been
made necessary by inadequate numerical
strength.
The Commissioners have repeatedly ap-
pealed to Congress, as l have myself, for
a proper police force for the District, yet
up to the present time provision has not
been made as recommended. 1t affords me
pleasure to state that the party who has
been terroriZing the women folks in the
section referred to was arrested February
6 by Detectives F'lather, Browne and Wat
SON.

PREPARING FOR sHAD SEASON.
Coming of Potomac Variety Expected
to Make Bunineaa Lively.


Several of the shores on the Potomac
river, from below Alexandria to Colonial
Beach, are preparing for the shad and her
ring fishing season which opens generally
early in March and continues until the lat
ter part of May. Already shad have made
their appearance In the markets of the
city, but they come from the Florida and
Georgia shores, and are but poor subst-
tute for our own Potomac fish. These fish
will work their way gradually up the coast
and about the middle of next month the
advance guard Of the army of shad will
be found in the bay and river. and with
warm weather the catch should be large
about the 1st of April. The fish wharf
here Will then be 4 busy place, the packing
houses engaging in sailing down the shad
for local consumption in the winter and
for shipment to the markets in the west.
The catch of shad at one haul in mid
season will often number over a thousand,
and during the season millions of them are
packed here. To the work of the fish COM
mission is due the increase in the number
OF shad found in the waters of Chesapeake
bay and its tributaries. In a few weeks
capt HERON, who commands the Bryan s
Point fishing station, will take his men to
that point, and about the latter part of
April will begin the taking of spawn. Two
boats will be constantly on the move, and
the spawn taken will be purchased from
the fishermen, who can afterward send their
fish to market.
The process Of taking spawn is very in
teresting. Into shallow pans the eggs of
the female fish are gently expelled, and over
this the melt obtained from the male fish
is distributed. The eggs are then taken to
the hatchery and put into boxes Of water
Kept at a regular temperature. In about
six days the young fish appear. and when
they are about three weeks old they are
put back into the river or shipped in tin
cans to other points to stock streams. Left
to hatch in the river by natural means but
few would live, as they become the prey of
carp, rock and other game fish.

ted to the asylum where he remained about
year. About six weeks ago his relatives
noticed signs of the return of his mental

turned to the asylum, hoping the affiiction
was only temporary. He failed to return
home last night, and his relatives became
alarmed. The police We're asked to appre-
hend him.

he had been seen to enter the navy yard
tunnel, and policemen from the fifth pre-
cinct were sent there to search for him.

mouth of the tunnel, but discovered no
other traces of him. A citizen discovered
him. however, with nothing on but his un-
dershirt and trousers, and Policeman Smith,
who was sent for, escorted him to the sta
ton. He had in his possession number
of religious papers.
Sanitary Officer Frank took charge of the
case, and Hayes was returned TO the asy-
lum.
