CARP DRIVING BASS
OUT OF THE POTOMAC
Fishing This Season Is the
Poorest in Years.

It is the belief Of many Of the Usher
men along the Potomac that the bass.
which in former years have been pIenti-
full, are being driven out by the carp in
the river It is known fact that The
carp are multiplying four OF five times
faster than the bass, and that they now
control the waters. Fishing this year.
particularly for bass, has been peer, es-
pecially in the upper Potomac. The carp
now in the Potomac are immense in size
Many Of the German species have been
caught this season. weighing from fl
teen to thirty-fve pounds, aud some
which weighed as high IS ffty-fye
pounds
Another cause Of the poor fishing sea
son is the condition Of the river. The
Potomac has been lower than it has
been before in years.
The Iitrse River has furnished better
sport enis year to local fishermen than
the Potomac proper. Heretofore the
former was never regarded as a good
fishing place. About month ago a
Georgetow-er caught sixty bass during
a week, ranging in weight from three e
six pounds each Many others report
having made good catches.
Local fishermen and dealers have dur
ing the past season received reports
from DickeTson. TusCarora. Red Rock.
and Seneca. which are among the best
fishing grounds along the Potomac. to
the effect that fish in the Potomac II
that vicinity have been scarcer this
year than for many years.

the fourth round OF what was to have
been a twenty-round contest
AS far as it went it was as pretty a

a delay OF few minutes at the start
because Dougherty did not want 10 fight
under the straight Queens5erry rules.
He was for clean break, while Feltz
wanted to fight with one arm free- The
point was conceded by feltz. and the

It was an even match up to the knock

Congressman Payne.
About the only man who came back
from Saratoga and did any talking was
Devery, the delegate whom the conven-
ton would not accept. The burden Of
his talk was that he would be regular
and for CoIer. He even offered to stump
the State for Coier, but as for Mr. Hill,
his sentiments were:
IF I ever get a fair chance at Hill I'll
make him wish he'd been boiled in oil

ROLAND HOLINEUI WILL
AGAIN BATTLE FOR LIFE
Disagreement of Jury May
Be Result.

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-RoIanG B.
Molineux, charged with the murder Of
Katherine 3. Adams. will again face a
jury on Monday in a fight for life. His
trial viii occur in the criminal branch
Of the supreme court.
Doubt is expressed whether Moliueaux
can again be convicted. The poisoning
took place so long ago and the eviderse
was so completely circumstaGtiai and
complex that lawyers who are familiar
with the case say that it viii be i'm
possible TO convict Nolineux and that
the best the State can do is 10 get n
disagreement. This probably would re
suit in MoIineuI getting his freedom.
as the district attorney would hardly
elect TO try the case again.
Another favorable development for
Molineux became known today. Mary
Melando. the young woman who kept
MoIineux's apartments over the pain
factory in Newark. and who testified at
Molineuxs last trial that she had seen
sheets OF robin-egg blue note paper.
which exactly matched the paper used
in connection with the poison package,
is missing The district attorney &C
knowIedged today that the woman was
gone and that five other witnesses from
New Jersey were also missing.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
who has the case in hand, admitted thai
with these witnesses an important link
in the chain of evidence against Mel
ineux was gone, bit he said he thought
the prisoner would be convicted never
