WANTS A GUARANTEE.
Bad Luck Causes An Angler to Swear
Off.

I'm not going bass fishing again until
I'm assured the fish will take bait" re-
marked an angler to a Star reporter tins
morning. II spent week on the upper
river and caught three fish, while a friend
who was with me failed to get a, strike
We had all kinds of bait, including smelt
mad toms, soft crabs and club, but none
of them proved enticing.
There Is too much food for the fish in
the river" he added. Never before at
this season of the year have l seen SO many
small fish in the upper Potomac. I'm
afraid the anglers will have to turn their
attention to saltwater fishing if they want
to have any sport during the next few
weeks"
1t : reported that anglers are having
hne sport on the salt water down the river
as well as about the Chesapeake bay. At
many points along the lower potomac big
white perch, rock fish and tailors are being
caught in large numbers. Summer board
ers at Colonial Beach and st. Georges Is
land, as well as at other places along the
salt water, have made some big catchss.
Anglers are also enjoying sport at Bay
Ridge and Chesapeake Beach the best
catches being nsAde early in the morning

NOTHING IN THE CASE.
Judge Mills Opinion Of Miss Willard's
CHARGES AGAINST Employer

Leland Barton, a real estate broker of
604 H street northwest, was a defendant
before Judge Mills of the Police Court this
morning on a charge of assault preferred
by Miss Margaret Willard, a clerk in his
employ. Miss Willard. who has been en-
ployed in Barton's office since Friday last,
also resided at 6O4 H street northwest, Mr..
Barton's home and office. Yesterday they
had some words, and later in the day Miss
Willard caused a warrant to be issued from
the Police Court for his arrest on a charge
of assault
Her evidence in court this morning was
used by Barton as a private office and he
asked her to move her effects to another
room, fearing his private papers might be
disturbed. Words followed the request,
Miss Willard said. and Barton, she de-
clared, pointed a revolver at her.
Il know he would have shot me if 1
hadn't grabbed his hand and coaXed him
not to- the witness explained.
Il engaged Miss Willard to do clerical
work for me and Friday last she moved to
my place during my absence. When 1 re-
of the wrong room. 1 requested her to re-
move her trunk to another room, but she
refused.
II renewed the request yesterday and she
would not comply, SO L prepared to move
the trunk myself, when she became ex-
cited and started to scream"
Mr.. Barton denied emphatically that he
pointed a revolver at Miss Willard or
touched her in any way.
Judge Mills at this point said there was
nothing in the case and dismissed the
charge.
