TO TEACH ARGENTINES
TO PROPAGATE FISH
An Expert Leaves Washing
ton for BuenOS Ayres.
BORROWED FROM UNCLE SAM
Prof. Litcomb, Of the Fish Commission,
Is Selected to Do the Work.
Success Certain.

The methods of the United States
Fish Commission are to be introduced
into the Argentine Republic. That gov
ernment has applied to the United
States for an expert TO study the waters
in the country. with a view of intro
ducing scientific fish culture, and IN
expert has been assigned to go there
and do the work. The man selected is
John W. Litcomb, chief of the division
of fish culture, one of the most expert
scientists in the employ of the Govern
ment. He is now in New York, on lis
way South.
The application was made to the
United States through the Argentine
minister some weeks ago, and Commis
sioner Bowers referred the matter 20
Secretary Cortelyou, suggesting that
Prof. Litcomb be assigned to the duty.
Secretary Cortelyou approved the Sc
lection, and granted the professor six
months leave OF absence.
His Studies.
Prof Litcomb goes direct TO Buenos
Ayres, where he is to meet the officer
whose duties correspond to those of the
Secretary OF the Interior in this coun-
try. The latter is to select the waters
in which the government would like to
propagate fish. and the Americans work
is then to begin. II is expected all of
the principal waters of the republic,
some of them at a great distance in
land. are 10 be visited and studied.
Upon his report the government is TO
import such of the machinery and tackle
used in the United States which 1t is
thought may be useful in the far south.
Commissioner Bowers in discussing the
trip today said he thought there would
be no difficulty in breeding fish in Ar
gentina, as the climate there was not
so radically different from that of the
United States There are species of fish
in Argentine waters which resemble the
blue fish, the shad the trout. and nearly
all of the toothsome varieties OF the
United States. ALI OF these are easily
bred in culture stations.
Borrowing Scientists.
The request for the services OF Prof
Litcomb establishes the fact that Ar
gentina is becoming neighborly in bor-
rowing certain learned men from the
service Of Uncle Sam 10 teach her own

LEGAL CONUNDRUH
FOR Mr.. hULLOWNY
Merchant Wants TO Know
If Agent Is CulpabIe.
PAWNED EMPLOYERS GOODS

Baltimore business man has pro-
pounded the following interesting legal
conundrum to Assistant United States
District Attorney Mullowny Can !
prosecute one Of my agents for embez-
Element who pawned some Of my goods.
kept the proceeds for his commission,
and offered me the pawn tickets as
counter claim TO balance our accounts.
and viii you guarantee me against being
sued civilly by him for damages?"
Intricacies of the Case.
From what Is known Of the .circum-
stances on which the above question IS
based, they are as follows: Some time
ago Baltimore merchant gave an agent
seventy-one pairs Of trousers. as sam
pies. to be used IN making sales The
agent came to Washington, and. Il Is
said. was successful IN procuring or
ders for the house he represented. In
the same time commissions had aecumu-
lated to the agents credit IN Balti-
more
A few days ago the agent was in need
of ready money. and, 1t is said. pawned
his stock OF samples with a local pawn
broker. He eontended he had right to
do this on the assumption that he had
money to his credit in the hands Of hia
employer
Merchant Full of Wrath
The agent, however, could not DC
business without his samples, and not
having money with which to redeem
them. he hied himself to Baltimore and
offered the pawn tickets for his samples
70 his employer in settlement of his ac-
count and also for the purpose OF giving
the latter an early opportunity TO get
possession of his goods.
This made the Baltimore merchant
angry. and he came 20 Washington as
soon as he could for the purpose OF
prosecuting the man who had pawned
his goods. So far no legal steps have
been taken in the matter no matter
what Mr.. Mullowny's answer to the
first proposition made by the Baltimore
an may be. he will hardly undertake to
guarantee him against a suit for dam
ages.

An Expert on the Subject.

Secretary Wilson is much interested
in this project to convert these lands
into valuable property, and his remarks
before the congress are expected to carry
much interest to the large body OF dele
gates and to the citizens of the country.
The Secretary has made a deep study OF
the question since il was first agitated,
and now that the project has taken prac-
tical form he will use his influence AMI
knowledge to advance the work of the
Government.
The congress is to be an event of un-
usual interest. 1t viii bring together
many prominent politicians and business

THE NARROW ESCAPE,
His Honor Had From an Unusually Fa-
tai Death-Judge Greffoz.

Judge Grefoz has his troubles.
Every man does, for that matter;
but they are bad troubles that be-
set his honor. For several years
he has presided over the police
court of the municipality. One by
one. offenders against the peace and
dignity of the city have passed un-
der the Christening penalties of his
court. More than once those whom
he has punished, have uttered
threats of bodily harm to his judi
icial person. More than once on
the way home on dark night, has
his honor thought he spied 1urk-
ing danger in the shadow of a lamp
post or a fence corner. Several
times, under the impression that
the villain still pursued him. has
the Judge turned back somersault
in the haste of retreat.
1t was quick and astonishing
caper that he cut the other night
He was on the way, after hard
days work, to his home in the su
burbs. Not far from where he
lives there are two trees under
which he has to pass. 1t is always
lonely under those trees. Shadows
are always there, and suggestions
of ghosts and assassins, and on this
particular night, it seemed 1onelier
than ever. The judge had fore
boding. He felt sure that some
thing was about to happen. He
passed under the trees with one
eye looking to the right and the
other to the left.
Sure enough. just as he passed
there was a binding flash, and
loud report. His honor felt sure
that his time had come. He was
too weak in body to do his. usual
gymnastic stunt. Never a flop
could be flop, but with hair all on
end, and forty million shivers chas-
ing each other up his judicial back,
he stood rooted to the spot. He
could, he thought, almost feel the
villains bullet in his vita1s.
But after all the judge still lived.
It was bold gopher just across
the fence in Bryant Young's yard,
and not his honor that was the
corpse. And it was the discharge
of a Sargent gopher gun that, for a
moment had given the Corvallis
police court glimpse of eternity
and all its terrors.
