FISHING OPINION.
Corporation Counsel Discusses Outlines
and TrotlineA

The Commissioners received an opinion
today from the corporation counsel rela-
tive to the communication of the harbor-
master directing attention to the conflicting
provisions respecting outlines or trot-
Ines in the act Of Congress approved May
II. 1898. for the protection of fish In the
Potomac river. Mr.. DuvaIl quotes two sec
tions of the law referred to, and says:
Section 500. 1t will be seen. deals with
the question Of net fishing. and 1t prohibits
the use Of many kinds Of nets, some of
which are stationary and some floating, and
after such enumeration follows the phrase
or any other contrivance. stationary or
floating
1T is manifest. of course. that Congress
did not intend to prohibit all fishing in the
Potomac river: its object was to regulate
and not to prohibit, and, this being so, tho
above mentioned phrase is not to be read
literally and as II standing alone, but un
der well-settled rule Of statutory con-
struction 1T is to be read as other such like
things as those precedently enumerated.
Section S97 declares that no person shall
catch or kill in the waters of the Potomac
1st Of April and the Goth of May of each
year, nor have in possession or expose for
sale any Of the said species of fish at any
other time during the year except by an
Cling, nor catch or kill any Of the aforesaid
species by what are known out or trot-
lines having a succession of hooks or de-
vices
Said section. in terms. relates to the
species of bass therein enumerated, and I
am Of the opinion that the prohibition
therein contained of the use Of outlines or
trotlines' is to be likewise restricted. That
Is to say, the code does not prohibit the
catching by means of outlines or trotlines
Of other fish than the species OF bass men
toned in said section.
IF it Is desirable to extend this prohibi-
ton, am Of the opinion that further legis-
lation Is necessary

NEW ANACoSTIA BRIDGE.
Will Be for Use Of Pennsylvania Rail
road

Gen Gillespie, chief Of engineersS today
sylvania Railroad Company for authority
to build bridge across the Anacostia river
for use in connection with the new route
of the railroad from Magruder's Station or
Tuxedo to the new union railroad station
on Massachusetts avenue
The bridge is to be located at a point in
the District 800 feet down stream from the
boundary line and about two miles above
the present Benning bridge. 1t is to be a
simple railroad bridge of small elevation
and will have no draw. The absence of a
draw is due to the fact that the river is
not navtgable at that point.
The action of Gen. Gillespie in approving
the application was based upon report
made by Col Allen. the engineer officer in
charge of river and harbor works in this
vicinity. to the effect that there is no OBJ
lection to the erection Of the bridge so far
as the interests Of navigation are concern
ed, and also upon report made by Col.
Symons, the engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, expressing
the opinion OF that officer that the pro-
posed bridge will not interfere with any OF
the plans of the commission for the de-
velopment Of the park system Of the Dis
trict.
There Is no specific legislative authority
Tor the bridge. but the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. well as the army en-
gtneers. consider that the necessary au-
thority is contained in the general pro-
visions OF the act of Congress approved
February %. 1903, providing for the es-
tablishment of a union railroad station In
the District Of Columbia and defining gem
orally the line Of approa ches to 1t by the
pennsylvania railroad. Unless the pro-
posed bridge Is constructed it is explained
that the provisions of the act could not be
executed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company for the reason that, without the
bridge. the railroad could not enter the
District within the territory necessary for
the enforcement Of the act

on the state ticket delivered short ad-

crowds from nearby cities.
Beckham's Record
Col Beiknap's speech dealt mainly with
the pardon record OF Gov. Beckham. which,
hs asserted. was largely responsible for the
lawless conditions prevailing in Breathitt
and other counties. He said, In part:
.The dramatic and tragic panorama OF
political events In our state for four years

OF untruth cltnging to Its garments. Re-
pulsive and reeking with the foul atmos-
phere of dungeons, 1t displays q body pros
tituted to perjury and fraud.
Referring to one Of the more noted OF
the Breathitt county pardons, Col. Belknap
said:
Reference to Raleigh.
Perhaps Raleigh was innocent Of hav-
ing voted any other than the democratic
ticket. Raleigh was the man convicted OF
killing little girl in Breathitt county and
who was pardoned by Mr.. Beckham.
"Your governor by pardoning this mis-
creant has shown that he thinks the brute
who would improperly accost your daugh-
ters and then shoot them like dogs was fit.
after few years punishment, to enjoy the
full privileges OF citizenship.
The table Of pardons granted during the
last three administrations and submitted to
the public by the governor in defense OF his
record is an interesting one. although con
spicuously incomplete.

WAITING FOR NEWS.
Post Office Officials Expect Arrest of
Indicted Men.

Officials at the Post Office Department to-
day were constantly expecting the arrest OF
Isaac g. Mcclellan and George H. Hunting
ton of the Columbia Supply Company OF
New York. who furnished package mail
boxes for the department. The only in
formation received here was to the effect
that when the inspectors went to the ONCE
of Mcclellan and Huntington they were out
Of town and no one could tell when they
would return or where they had gone.
It was stated by some Of their associates
that II they should see the publication OF
their indictment by the federal grand jury
in the city they would doubtless return, in
order not to be placed in the position Of
evadinR arrest.
This information was not official. Omcial.
ly the department had nothing 1t was seen
fit to make public in relation to the arrest
Of these persons under indictment. The
story that they would return to be placed
under arrest when the fact OF their indict-
ment was known to them was not accepted
with much credence by officials OF the de-
partment. They were simply waiting 10
hear from their inspectors an to their ef-
forts to locate the two men.
Official notification Of the arrest OF DR..
Eugene D. Scheble. who has for years fur
nished the department with the ordinary
letter boxes. was received this morning. DR..
Scheble was arrested at his home in Toledo
last evening.
The bench warrant for the arrest Of
James w. Erwin in San Francisco will not
reach that city until Monday.
There is no uneasiness felt at the de-
partment about the arrest Of Mr.. Erwin,
as 1t Is thought he Will take the course
of giving himself up upon the nrst op-
portunity.
The department officials are expecting
rather a rapid disposition OF the balance
of the cases before the federal grand jury
here. While the investigation as to the
persons indicted last Tuesday has been
going on before the grand Jury other cases
also have been under investigation. 30 that
all OF them are very far advanced and .
disposition Of them may soon be expected
At the department it is thought that the
Investigation will be concluded within ten
days and that then the work Of writing the
mission to the President win begin. This
report win probably be completed BY Octo-
ber L This plan win be interfered with II
new deyelopments OF fraudulent acts should
turn up. but the general belief at the de-
partuaent Is that the entire matter has been
20 thoroughly sifted that new cases are not
likely to be developed. =

NO STRIKE COMING

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
POTTSVILLE, Pa, September 12.-Re-
ports have recently gone out from Schuyl-
kill county to the effect that the miners in
the lower anthracite region are dissatisfied
with the workings of the strike commits
sions award. It has even been said by the
of another strike.
John Felaski. United Mine Workers or
ganizer for this district today said on the
subject:
Summing Up the Situation
II ought to know how the men feel, and
1 do know. strike Is not being thought
of. The situation can be summed up by
giving a few figures. Laborers in the Phil
adelphia and Reading Iron and Coal Com
pany's mines who before the last big strike
were earning 5000 each week, are now
making S13.O1. Men who come under the
S15.31 every six days as against $12 before
the commission made its award.
Contractors Are Prosperous.
Contract miners who employ other
miners are now able to make from $75 to
s1OO every two weeks, whereas they con-
sidered themselves fortunate formerly to
make from $45 to $50 in the same time.
ITO suppose that the mine workers do not
appreciate their Increased earnings Is to
suppose that they are very ignorant set
of men and lacking in business sense, which
is not true
Mr.. Felaski said the closing of several
mines because OF over production had
caused discomfort among the employees at
these collierieS but the dissatisfaction was
confined entirely to the men directly af-
fected

WAS NOT A PROTEST
NOTE REGARDING THE ISLANDS
NEAR DoRNEo.
It Related Kerely to Taking Effective
Steps Against the Haunts
Of Pirates.

1t is ascertained today in a quarter where
the facts were not obtainable yesterday.
that the representations made by the Brit
ish foreign office to the United States gov
ernment respecting the alleged seizure OF
those small islands on the northeast coast
of Borneo by the y. s. 8. Quiros during a
recent cruise in that vicinity. instead Oh
being in the form Of protest, are or
most amicable and friendly character The
questions at issue, 1t Is stated, CAT, be easily
settled by diplomatic negotiations in the
regular way and are not considered suffi-
ciently serious or difficult to require either
a resort to arbitration or the appointment
of joint British and American commits
sion.
It is officially declared that there is no
dispute between Great Britain and the
United States as to the sovereignty or
Jurisdiction over the islands. and that the
main point to be decided relates to the po-
Icing Of the islands, which have peen' ana
still are, resort for pirates. For the pro-
lection of its commerce Great Britain had
driven of these robbers of the sea. and
then poIiced the Islands against their re.
occupation by the outlaws. Outside OF
and are not regarded as of any commercial
value.
Before Spain relinqushed control Of her
possessions in that quarter OF the world 10
the United States that country had onered
no objection to the occupation Of these Is
lands by Great Britain, whose only OBJECT
in the matter was the protection OF her
commerce. AS now understood, the Brit
ish government considers 1t necessary to
maintain a police patrol Of the islands for
the protection Of its commerce against the
pirates who otherwise would be free to
commit all sorts of depredations. and the
main question under consideration by the
two governments is whether Great Britain
Is to be permitted to continue the occupa-
ton of the islands in the interests OF free
commerce, and II not, whether the United
States will similarly undertake the protec-
ton Of commerce IN that quarter OF tho
globe by the establishment Of naval or
military patrols.

G OMEHOW WE DON'T LOOK for
- special bravery in a man who
teaches school for a living. Just why
this should be so it would be difficult
to say. for certainly time and again
the school teacher Of the male persua-
sion-and the women, too, for that mat
ter-has triUmphantly undergone cour-
age tests. The latest example is the
example Of WintOn Green. principal of
a school at FactoryvilIe, a PennsyI-
vania village
A few days ago, while Green's pupils
were at work in their little school
house, a great dog entered the room.
The bloOdshot eyes, the frotbing mouth,
the low growIs of the beast indicated
thatit was mad. Straight for the near
est children it sprang. But swift as
was the dog, the teacher was swifter.
He jumped for the dog and grappIed
it with his bare hands, at the same
time shouting to the children to escape.
The struggle between teacher ana dog
that followed would merit a description
by Hugo. Repeatedly the animal tried
to tear itself from the teachers des-
perate grip. once it broke away and
plunged toward the children huddled in
a corner Of the room. BY a tremendous
effort the teacher again seized the dog
and. though it bit him repeatedly. man
aged to drag it to the door and throw
it out.
Most men would have been satisfied
with this, but Green did not feel that
he had done his fun duty. other chill
dren, passing along the highway, might
be in danger from the dog. Green went
to a nearby house, secured a shotgun
and pursued the animal, which was
running down the road, until he over
took and killed it. Then he had his
wounds treated by a local surgeon and
later went to New York for treatment
at a PasteUr institute.
IF ever a man deserved to escape
from the most fearful disease known
to medical science, hydrophobia, Green
deserves to escape. The man deliber-
ately wrestled with death and frightful
agony to save his flock. He rose to his
responsibilities like a man and an
American. A dispatch says Green is
the hero Of the county in which his
school is located. He is entitled to all
honors that can be paid him.

SALT LAKES HEALTH.

IT HE REPORT Of the board Of health
L for the month Of September shows
that salt Lake City, the outbreak OF
typhoid Notwithstanding. is one Of the
healthiest municipalities in the entire
country. Fewer deaths were reported
than in the same month of last year.
or the total. although there were 12S
cases Of typhoid. the largest number
the city has ever had at one time, only
five deaths from that cause were re-
ported.
This indicates that the epidemic is
Of a remarkably mild type except as
regards numbers. Either this is true
or. with modern methods of treatment,
typhoid can no longer be classed as a
particularly fatal disease. The chief
source Of danger in typhoid. as is now
generally recognized, is the lack Of
proper nursing. Very little medicine is
given and everything depends upon the
care the patient receives.
The mildest cases Of typhoid have
proven fatal for this very reason. The
fever seems 10th to let 90, once it has
taken hold. IT hangs on often for weeks
for no apparent reason and leaves the
sufferer in a most debilltated state.
Months are sometimes passed before
the patient is in shape to resume or
binary business or household duties.
And typhoid is always expensive. Even
with no medicines to pay for doctors
and nurses cost money, leaving out Of
the question the value Of the time lost
from business, which cannot always be
estimated.
The typhoid epidemic cannot said to
have passed. The records Of the health
department show that IN previous years
October has been almost without ex-
ception the worst month for the dis
ease. The rapid spread Of typhoid
shows beyond the shadow of a doubt
that a great many Salt Lakers have
been careless. All the cases cannot
properly be attributed to the city's wa
ter supply, the flowing wells. the milk,
Ice, food and other ordinary sources Of
infection.
Proper care is not always used in the
disinfection OF bedding or Of the ex-
creta from patients. The fact that in
numerous instances there have been
and are several cases in the same house
and that some localities have a great
many more than others, goes to prove
the correctness of this statement Fin
ally. The Herald would advise all citi-
zens TO continue to exercise every pos
sible precaution. Drinking water should
be boiled and every possible source OF
infection should be carefully watched,
