stated that Edward S. Harris, Of Penn's
Grove, told him that thousands of Young
shad in August and September are killed
by the refuse from the DUPONT Powder
Company's works at Carney's Point. He
believed that no better spawning beds
could be secured than south of New Cas-
tie in the Hamburg cove, and thought
they should put out the young fish there
and restrict the bay fishing.
Joseph Shourds, of Pennsville, review
ed the whole question covering the years
when shad were scarce and when the
fishermen were few and the nets small.
He felt positive that the pollution of the
river has much to do with the scarcity Of
the shad. ''The carp is a hardy fish, a
crusty customer" said he. "Now then
the dealers will not permit the carp to
stay in the live cars opposite Philadel-
phia because the polluted water will kill
the fish. If the crusty carp will not
stand the polluted water what can you
expect Of the little tender shad?'
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr..
Titcomb: after a motion that it was the
sense of the meeting that the Federal
authorities should take charge OF the in
terstate waters and fishing therein the
meeting adjourned.

Dishonor In The White House

No President of the United States
has ever been so fambuoyant, cratic
and double dealing at Theodore Roose.
welt. With his boasting words against
the corporations and trusts, at the final
tests he has acquiesed in the deeds which
has done them no harm beyond a few
thousand dollars fines.
The bill to regulate railroad rates
has been discussed in the Senate for
weeks. 1t has been announced for
weeks that the President has been in
communication with Democratic Sen
ators and that Senator Tillman has
been fighting his battle in the interest of
the people, for a bill which would give
a limited court review and stop the dis
eliminating rates by unlimited iniunc.
tions. 1
A week ago the President accepted the
amendment of the railroad Senators,
abandoned the Democratic allies he had
sought through ex-senator w. E. Chan
NV
dler without giving them honorable
notice and utterly denies that be had
summoned Mr.. Chandler to get into
communication with Democratic Sen
ators, because of his complete disagree
ment with Senatorial lawyers like
Spooner and Knox who championed the
railroad interests.
Senator Tillman was wise enough to
get statements in writing from Mr..
Chandler who confirms them so that all
fair-minded readers can not fail to be
convinced of the dishonorable double
dealing and prevarication which has
come from the White House-which
should be painted Black.
President Roosevelts abandonment of
the peoples cause and those who cham
ploned it and his presentations shows
him to be in an unenviable plight for
a man in so exalted a position. One
cartoon states that Ananias will have to
send his badge of being the champion
liar to the White House.

Senator Bailey's Prayer

In closing his recent speech in the
Senate an the rate bill, Senator Bailey
lndulged IN some reflections aside from
the legal phrase and merits of his argu-
ment, and which all can indorse. They
are worth repeating. He said: 81
would feel that we were reaching an
era in this devoted land where men are
to be judged by how they act and what
they think, 1ather than by what they
have; when intellect, and not fortune.
When conduct, more than birth, should
be the measure of u esteem, and when
an honest fame should be the goal to-
word which our ambitious youth should
be taught to toll and hope.
"Mr. president, 1 am one of those
who believe that such time may come
of course, [ am not SO simple minded
as to dream that the old days of small
fortunes and great contentment will
ever come again to bless the land, but
l do believe in the coming of a better
day than this, when the man who
knows that he is just and honest will
feel that he is happier in his circum-
stances than the man whose riches
have been corrupted through injustice.
II pray for the time to come when
we shall have a new standard to guide
our children; when we shall teach
them that justice is better than power,
and lead them into the ennobling faith
that truth shall conquer falsehood in
every home where peace abides and in
every land where men are free Under
the influence of higher ideals and more
unselfish aspirations all hate and envy
will vanish from our minds, and the
only evil thought which still must
vex US will be the malice which the
bad shall forever feel towards the good.
When conduct instead of fortune is
made the rule by which we judge all
men, every boy in all the land, no mat
ter how humble his parentage Or how
limited his opportunity, will feel the
thrill of hope, and 1.-THE carpenters son
will know that if only he is just and
brave and honest he will be more re-
spected than the son of any millionaire
who ever wasted his fathers fortune in
idle dissipation or soiled his fathers
name by gross excuses"

Taylor, the "fiddiing" politician, whose
persuasive oratory and enhancing mus

To Locate Rivers Mouth.

The joint commission appointed by the
Legislatures of Delaware and New Jersey
to draft fishery laws and fix the dividing
line between the Delaware River and
Bay, in conformity with the boundary
line compact between the two States,
held a meeting in the University Club,
at 1910 Walnut street, Philadelphia, on
the Sth. Alexander B. Cooper Of the
Delaware commissioners, who is the
president of the joint commission, pre-
sided. Walter H. Hayes and William S.
Hilles, the other Delaware commission
ers, were present. Senator Bradley and
Senator Avis of the New Jersey commits
sion were present also, but Mr.. Strimpie
was absent.
The present fishery laws Of the two
States were compared and the commIs-
sioners found that they do not differ
widely. 1t will be no trouble to har-
monte them. Each commission will
have a draft of the laws made and pre-
sent them at the next meeting OF the Joint
commission. They are about the same
on the question OF the time for fishing
and the size of the meshes in the nets
used.
About the first of next month the Joint
commission will take a trip on the Della
ware River for the purpose of endeavor-
ing to locate the mouth of the river.
There is no question in the minds of the
commissioners that it extends as far down
as the lower end of Reedy Island. The
pilots holding commissions on the Della
ware River claim as far down as Reedy
Island light. Some Of the New Jersey
citizens and watermen say that it eX-
tends as lar down as Stony Point. The
Delaware commissioners are not sure that
il. does not extend as far down the Della
ware shore as the mouth of the Apo
quinmink river. The trip downthe riv-
er will probably be made in Mr.. Hilles,
new yacht, which he has offered tt the
commission for the trip.
As soon as the commissioners decide
upon the dividing line between the bay
and the river they will place monuments
on each side of the river marking it.
The commissioners adjourned to meet
again at the call Of President Cooper.

MANY woRkMEN BURIED BY COL.
LAPSE OF NEW HOTEL At
Il LONG BEACH, CAL.
HOSPITAL CROWDED WITH VICTIMS
MORE THAN SCORE OF INJURED
TAKEN FROM RUINS, MANY
FATALLY HURT. .~

Long Beach, CAL, NOV. 1O.-The
huge Bixby hotel, in course of con-
struction on the beach here, collapsed
without warning, supposedly as the
result of faulty construction. Be-
tween twelve and fifteen workmen
were killed and more than a score of
others were seriously injured, sew.
eral of them probably fatally.
The building was of reinforced con-
crete, and the men were crushed to
death beneath the tons of mortar and
iron. Only two of the dead had been
taken out an hour after the accident.
Upwards of twenty injured had been
removed to the Long Beach hospital,
which soon was filled to overlooking.
Upwards of fifteen workmen are be-
lieved to be still buried in the debris.
A representative of the architecture
al firm constructing the building says
that undoubtedly the accident was due
to the fact that the floors of the build
ing was of reinforced tile, which evil
IDENTIFY could not stand the weight of
the structure Reinforced concrete
had been recommended In the plans
and specifications drawn for the build
ing and that material was provided.
The reinforced tile was put in later
for decorative purposes.
The hospital was not sufficiently
large to accommodate all the injured
taken there and large number were
removed to private dwellings in the
vicinity. At least twenty or twenty
five have been taken from the ruins,
many Of whom will die. 1t is be.
lieved there are about sixteen or sew
enteen under the mass of wreckage.
These are undoubtedly dead.
