Additional Fire Protection

Superintendent Brownson. of the
Naval Academy, is inclined TO give
additional fire protection to Annapolis
and an agreement has been reached
between the Superintendent and Fire
Marshal Bells, of this city. whereby
the fire departments of the Academy
and city are to be used jointly should
occasion arise either here or within
the Academy grounds. The hose coup
lings have been found to be inter
changeable, and arrangements per-
fected for working together in case of
any large fire. The Academy fire APP
paratus has several times responded
in cases of fires in the town, and has
done efficient work. No occasion has
yet arisen for she use of the .citysde-
partment in the Naval Academy, but
superintendent Brownson has stated
to Fire Marshal Bells that he will not
hesitate TO call upon it if necessary.

FIGURE SKATING CHAMPION
special Dispatch to Evening Capital


New York, Feb. "A Lovers of ice
sports filed the st. Nicholas rink this
afternoon at the opening of the an
nual figure skating championship, un.
der the auspices of the Amateur Skat-
ing Association of the United States.
The programme covers both the after
noon and evening and provides for
about twenty events, ranging from the
simple edge roll through all the intri-
cate figures known TO fancy skaters.
An international flavor is given to
this wears competition by reason OF
the fact that Ulrich Salchow, of
Sweden, winner of the worlds figure
skating championship in 1908 4, is
among the competitors. Probably the
most formidable competitor of the
Swedish skater is DR.. A. G.. Keane,
of the New York Athletic Club, win
ner of the American iguTeskatlng
championship from 1898 to 1908 inclu-
sive. The judges of the contests are
Louis Rubenstein. of Montreal, who
won the worlds championship for fg-
ure skating at st. Petersburg in 1892 /;
Frank P. Good, of Brooklyn. winner
of the American figure-skating cham
pionship in 1856, and James B. Story,

HERRING ARE RUNNING
Spawning Fish Made Their Ad
vent Much Earlier Than
Expected.

Fishermen of Annapolis and vicin-
ity who have not lost their religion
are dangerously near TO doing so. Ii
they are making every effort to con-
troll their feelings, there is no telling
when they will break loose. Their
feelings are very much disturbed over
the fact that the herring have already
started to run.
1t was reported by several of the
fishermen who have been engaged in
gigging through the ice that the her
ring are coming up the bay in great
numbers. A hole cut through the ice
reveals thousands of. them headed up
stream in search of their yearly
spawning ground. 1t is feared that
they will all get through with their
domestic duties and make their way
down the bay again before it is pos
sible to get any nets out to stop their
progress. Several fishermen have sig
nified their intentions of cutting the
ice and setting their nets in the face
of the positive loss of their equip.
ment
Fear is expressed on all sides that if
the spawning season opens up this
early the spring freshets will carry
the spawn out to deep water, where
they will become the prey of other
fish. The loss in this way would be
even greater than in the loss which
will be suffered in the present by rea-
son of the inability to get any kind OF
catch this season. A heavy thaw al
this time would so raise the currents
that the spawning fish would be un-
able to make any Roadway against il
and would be forced to deposit their
spawn in the open water of the bay,
making it impossible for the fishermen
to get the old batch or to realize on
the next years catch. Taken alto.
gether the spring fishing season looks
very dubious.
