Jersey Teachers Want $4,000 Of Sat.

Trenton, n. j., March ia large
delegation of school teachers from all
sections Of the state appeared before
the house committee on education yes
terday afternoon to urge the adoption
of Mr.. Tracy's bill to repay to the
teachers retirement fund some $4,000
paid to the state for the management
of the fund and the keeping of the ac-
count. The delegation also called on
Governor Murphy on the same mis-
sion. Governor Murphy is opposed to
the bill. taking the position that the
fund is private one and should not
be managed at the states expense.
The teachers insist that the fund is
not a private one, in so much as that
they are employees OF the state.

The hope of securing a vote Yesterday

there were more speeches to be made
IN opposition to the treaty than had

even today. and il was evident that
this result could not have been ac.

ators to secure a nnal adjournment
OF the session.
Inc executive session covered six
hours. and was devoted largely TO ad
verse criticisms OF the treaty. During
the day Senator NewIands made a
plea for the annexation OF Cuba and
presented an amendment to the treaty
rendering an invitation to that island
TO be come a state.of the American
Union
The debate was participated in by

FISHES IN TREE
MAN FROM ARKANSAS TELLS OF
REMARKABLE SIGHT.
Break In River Embankment Led to
Complete Reversal Of Natures
Plsns-Pardonable Skepticism Dis
played by a Listener.

did you ever see fish hanging from
the limbs of trees?" asked a man from
the st. Francis Basin. We'll, | have,
and they didn't have wings, either.
They were just simply plain old st.
Francis river catfish, and had never
learned how to do anything but swim
and blubber. But | found a bunch of
them up in tree one morning just
the same, and 1t was a curious sight.
or course, it is common enough to find
fish in hollow logs, hollow trees and
stumps after a flood, but these mem
bers were up in the branches, out in
the open in plain view where they
could be seen. 1t was during q heavy
rise in the river back in the early
sos. | was living at the time some
eighty miles ur the river from the
mouth on what is known as Cow
Bayou island in that section of Ar.
kansas, so named because of q fearful
cattle calamity shortly after the war,
when the bayou which surrounds the
Island was literally choked with the
bodies of cattle. Opposite where |
lived was a sharp curve in the river,
and considerable lip with a rather
marked decline toward the rivers
edge. The high water had filed this
dip. Trees of a small. bushy variety
had grown up thickly in the dip. Dur
ing the overflow vast army of fish
had hoated into the place, evidently
to feed. One night short distance
below this place there was break in
the embankment which threw the full
force of the river back into q deep
basin a half mile away. The fall would
not have been more rapid If the bot.
tom had dropped out of the river
Really at first | thought there had
been a sinking of the land when
ventured out the next morning. Across
the river from where lived | beheld
remarkable sight. The dip had been
emptied by the sudden break below
Hundreds of fish had been caught nap
ping. as 1t were. Catfish measuring
all the way from few inches to a
foot and half, could be seen founc,
ing and wriggling in the bushy tops
and forks of the clumps of trees which
had grown up in the dip. 1t was the
most remarkable sight had ever seen
and | would not have believed 1t my.
self If had not beheld it with my own
eyes,"
Il didn't see it-what do you expect
me to do?" asked the skeptic, who had
ordered highball, but the man from
Arkansas never answered.
