Surgeon General Suzulis earnest words
electrified the convention. The audience was

probably the first time that cheers had re-
sounded in the Central Methodist Episcopal
church. one OF the oldest and largest houses
Of worship in Detroit. The distinguished
Japanese was the last speaker at the after
noon session, but the audience did not turn
toward the door when he finished. With
one impulse delegates and spectators strug
gled to get nearer to the uniformed, swarthy
foreigners, who stood behind the preachers
desk Surgeon General Suzuki looked about
him berplexed. There was the making of a
panic in, the mob that was struggling all
around him. 1t was necessary for John j.

siding to conduct the besieged speaker
through a rear door TO the street.

tary at Tien Tsin, that the japanese sur

GREAT FLOTO SHOWS.
"rhE CIRCUS BEAUTIFUL"
viii Soon Be here. Foreign Agent
Tells Interestingly Of Animals.

Capt Henry Amberg, the foreign ami
NAL agent for the Great Floto Shows, is
now on his annual visit to the shows and
tells many interesting things.
"In New York alone there are ten
firms dealing in wild animals to say moth
ing of the foreign dealers, the Hagen
becks for instance. who send wild beasts
here. The demand exceeds the supply
by a wide margin. Nearly all the great
cities in the country possess public me-
nageries which constantly buy wild an
imals; qulxotic individuals frequently
buy cubs OF one kind or another, rang
ing from tigers to bears; many wealthy
Americans maintain private geological
parks of greater or less extent. and the
score of large circus companies must be
constantly supplied because of the high
death rate among their animsl The
record of imports of the Floto Shows for
the past year is twenty elephants, TWEEN
ty-tive camels, twenty tigers, five lions,
forty leopards, twenty pumas, eigh-
teen panthers and any number OF small
wild animals now in the Floto winter
quarters to stock a big show. All are
never carried on the road, in case of ac-
cidents. fire, etc.
"Cubs-tiger. lion, leopard and bear
cubs-are in special demand by families.
They are reared and petted like kittens,
but they invariably come back to the
dealers at quarter of what they sold
for, or even as gifts. One eloquent let
ter which dealer recently received
from q woman who had purchased lion
cub year ago, read as follows: please
come and take my lion away. She has
eaten our Newfoundland dog"
From appearances no one would sus-
pect the Siberian bear in the menagerie

but the waters Of Colorado are in 9
fair way to become appropriated by
other states The citizens of this
state were justly diligent il asking
federal aid in conserving the state
waters, but, owing to broad policy
which must necessarily be followed
by the government, state lines in
this matter cannot be regarded. This
is further emphasized by the recent
decision Of Judge Moses Hsllett OF
the United States circuit court at
Denver, ignoring state lines in a
water controversy over priority
rights.
The government is aiding in the
construction of the Pathfinder pro-
ject in Wyoming, said the speaker,
which embraces the establishment Of
q reservoir containing approximate
ly 100000 acre feet. An acre
foot is the amount of water required
to cover an acre of ground one foot
deep These 100000 acre feet are
contributed by Colorado streams.
The Gore canon reservoir project
will take away more millions of acre
feet, and, it is reported, the govern
msnt is considering the advisability
of constructing reservoir as far
distant as Arizona aud all reservoirs
derive their water from Colorado
rivers.
Approximately 1000, 900 acre feet
Of water would thus annually be
lost to Colorado, should the other
states secure the right. Not lOO
miles from Denver, said Mr.. Bent,
are 100000 acre feet going to waste
annually, with many feasible pro-
jects Of storage untried. The gov
ernment, while not recognizing state
lines, would act fairly in the matter
should the state conserve its water
before other states step in.
The remedy was pointed out by
the speaker in the hundreds of nat
ural reservoirs scattered throughout
Colorado. Exact data should be Sc
cured, he said, as to the location OF
these reservoirs, the cos. Of con-
struction, etc. In these reservoirs
lay the future conservation of the
waters of Colorado.
So impressed were the delegates
with Mr.. Bent's speech that after
several minutes discussion John
McDonough of Denver moved that
the chair appoint a committee OF
three to confer with the state officials
and state engineers office with a
view to discussing ways and means
to secure data on the topic aud to
obtain surveys and plats of the res.
ervoirs. The motion was enthusiast.

The Fishery.

Affairs at Fishtown we're unchanged
again this morning. Plenty of herring
are being caught but prices are too low
70 net the fishermen profit. Shad are
"a scarce As ever and prices are virtually
unchanged. Perch, black bass, rock
and other pan fish still bring fancy
prices. 81
The present fishing season, like that
which preceded it, has, 50 far, been dlsap-
pointing in the catch of shad. While
an average number of herring have en-
tered the Potomac, shad have been scarce
with no signs of an increase. Prices
consequently continue high-rather too
high for general consumption. April
has nearly run its course, and by this
time this favorite fish should have been
plentiful and cheap. Several theories
have been advanced in explanation OF
the recent scarcity of shad. Some have
suggested that the placing OF black bass
in the river was a mistake, as they, II
is alleged, eat the young shad, but they
would eat young herring also, and the
fact that there has been a plethora OF
this species refues the charge against
the black bass.
