Sounds the Doom of Atlantic shad.

Sounds the Doom of Atlantic Shad.
Washington, D. c., May 29.-Shad
fisheries of the Atlantic coast are
domed unless the States take imme-
date steps to protect them from the
rapacity of the fishermen, is the
opinion held by John w. Titcomb, in
charge of the Matching service of the
United States Fish Commission.
Habits of the shad lend themselves
admirably to the determination Of
the fish. They approach the shores
In immense schools, actually crowd
ing one another in their efforts to
reach the head of the fresh water
streams, where the spawn is deposit
ted. The fishermen have learned how
to intercept the run by nets in the
bays and in the broad mouths of the
rivers, and the marketable shad are
now nearly all caught in this way.
Few roe shad escape the nets. The
rivers are thus much depleted, the
natural spawning of the fish inter-
fered with and the supply of eggs
available for the Matching bureau cut
off.
