Cyclic, the kinectic demon, is the in

Fish Commissions Work.

There is no doubt but that our work
is in a great measure responsible for
the steady increase in the supply of
shad. Before we began operating the
hatcheries the supplies were steadily
diminishing. Now they are on the in
crease We have no doubt but the catch
this year will be one of the largest in
a score of years. Do we feel proud?
Well, there is considerable satisfaction
in proving to doubters that re have
been able to do exactly as We said we
would, and at the same time save for
fish lovers one of the most valuable sea
foods of the United States.
ut was only a few years ago, it is easy
to remember, that few of the members
of Congress opposed the granting of
needed appropriation for our work,
claiming 1t would amount to nothing
our work would fall and we were simply
experimenters, If not only dreamers or
politicians wanting jobs. Then, too,
there was nothing in raising fish for food
as inspiring as commanding a great bat
the army However, grudgingly, We got
money enough to go ahead We did not
begin to work on a very large scale
until early in the nineties.
THE largest of our shad hatcheries-
at Gloucester, New Jersey-was got in
working order. and since then We figure
we have Matched something like several
billion shad These were cared for until
the fry were able to care for themselves.
Then they were turned loose in the
rivers and bays. For the first year or
two there was little noticeable increase
in the supply of fish, and then the in
crease began with a rush. So this year
tops them all, and we are not at all
doubtful but that next years catch will
exceed this"
While there is no doubt the work of
the Fish Commission is beginning to
count rapidly, it is certain this year is
more propitious for fishing than last
Not only are shad plentiful, but The
lower river seems to be teeming with
herring Vessel after vessel is coming
in loaded to the scuppers with the fish
for the packers at the local wharf. and
the packers are working early and late
sailing down the cargoes. All that is
necessary, seemingly, to haul in herring
is to cast net or seine anywhere in the
lower river. Just below Alexandria they
are caught in thousands, and two days
ago, at Ferry Landing 100000 herring
were brought ashore in a single haul
Large white perch are also plentiful,
fishermen taking them in large numbers
all along the river front. The herring
are too cheap to quote in small lots, but

Shad are more plentiful this season
than they have been in ten years De-
spite the usual spring high water fisher
men said today they are easily catch
ing as many of the luscious fish as they
can dispose of. The demand, however,
does not seem to slacken, and prices
remain fair; 80 cents is paid for roe
shad and % cents for the melts. Re
ports received say the large number
OF fish is not confined to the Potomac,
but they are running in hundreds of
thousands in all of the Eastern rivers as
far north as New York.
Fishermen were unable to explain the
large runs. except on the ground that
The work of the Fish Commission is be-
ginning TO tell in a way which for all
time ends any doubt as to the 7alue OF
the work OF experts of that department.
But few years ago the supply of shad
began 10 diminish at an alarming rate.
and predictions were made freely that in
few years the fish would be so scarce
as to become a high-priced luxury, OBJ
tainable only by the rich, instead of
general food fish.
Then the Commission began the arti-
fetal propagation of shad, and now the
rivers are again teeming with them.
Consequently there were expansive
smiles of satisfaction on the counte
nances of the officials of the Fish
Commission this morning when they
were informed of what the fishermen,
the men who know, were saying about
them. Commissioner Bowers, when
asked for figures today. referred the
questioner to the Commissions statis7
ticians and experts. Said the chief Of

Undoubtedly II the owners OF horses knew
the cruelty inflicted on them by ignorant

protection of the poor beasts. since cruelty

10 the Edltor OF Inc Evening starr:
Your intended fair and dispassionate dis
cussion of the recent shooting of fleeing
prisoner by an officer makes no mention OF
the provisions of the statute In force here
against taking human life. Our most eff
Client present incumbent at the head Of the
police department has so shaped the police
manual that 1t steers an officer away from
the penalties resulting from misuse of his
pistol or club. The statute does not permit
policeman to kill man under any other
circumstance than 1t allows the editor of
The Star to kill man. The police manual.

edly not to use his pistol or club except in
the lawful defense of his person, and the
provision relating to its careless use in
such manner as not to injure innocent rsr-

That when an officer does use his pistol In
lawful defense of himself he must not So
