ands of dollars stocking the Kennebec
with shad and it is probable that some
steps will be taken at once by the gov
ernment officials in the matter.
Many old fishermen attribute the de-
cline of the fisheries to the use of the
purse seines. The menhaden fishermen
often got their seines filled with mack
erel and having no use for them left
them MANNED and dying. 'These steam
ers have caught and sacrificed millions
of barrels of mackerel," says Mr.. Rog-
ers. Now the menhaden are about fish
ed out. Last year the catch was las, 800
barrels; less than fifteen per cent. of the
previous year, which was 1,OO4,525 bar
rels.
A few illustrations will serve to show
the decline of the fishing industry. New
buryport once had seventy-fve vessels
engaged in the fisheries; now it has alb
solutely none. Cape Porpoise had thirty
vessels sailing from that port, and ped
lars used to drive from forty miles back
to stock up with fresh fish for the in
land farmers and villagers. Now only
three schooners of any size sail from
Cape Porpoise and the old fish wharf is
falling to pieces. This is true of most
New England ports. Mr.. Rogers says
of this condition: "The extinction of
these fish, or even the unnecessary
scarcity which now prevails, means far
more than appears upon the surface 1t
means depriying the poorer classes of
necessary food article, to say nothing
OF taking away from the Well-to-do
many appetizing delicacies. 1t means
sending money to foreign countries for
fish that should be more plentiful here
than anywhere else in the world; and it
means to the fishermen the loss of that
calling without which they will be in an
almost helpless condition, especially in
the present condition of our merchant
marine And in conclusion he says:
There is still another reason why our
fishermen should be protected by feder-
al legislation, and this is the claim that
the fishermen themselves have upon US
as nation. There is no class having a
greater claim than the American fisher
man. His occupation is exceedingly
hazardous, and he is pre-eminently
producer. Every time he leaves port it
is question whether he will return at
all. Yet he goes, trip after trip BRAY
ing the dangers of the deep; risking
chances of collision with other fishing
vessels, or of being run down by the
ocean greyhounds crossing the fogbound
Grand Banks; and all that we may have
fish.
But it is not from motives of senti-
ment alone that the United States
should safeguard the interests of the
Eastern fishermen with care. Our fish
ermen are practically naval reserve
available in time of need; and for this
reason, if no other, their interests de-
mand our protection

TROLLEY TO BATTLEFIELDs.
Corporal Boulay Tells of Present Con.
ditions in Cuba.

American tourists in Cuba will soon be
able to visit the scenes of the battles with
Spain on that island in 1898. by trolley
according tC information brought to this
city by Mr.. Louis Boulay of GO K street
Boulay was a corporal in Company c,
LIST District of Columbia Infantry, Uuited
States Volunteers, during the war with
Spain. He has been employed for two
years past by the Cuban Railroad Com
pany, which is building lines from Santiago
over the backgrounds.
"El Caney of today does not look like 1t
did the morning of July II, 1897. the date
of the surrender" Mr.. Boulay said. MY
mind went back to that day, when in COM
pany with Sergeant James Shepley Private
William Hickey and Private Frank Lane,
of Company c. went out from the COM
the citadel of Santiago. and saw thousands
of starving men, women and children
refugees, on Ell Caney road going to San
tiago from Diegro Castle, where they fed
at the start of the bombardment. ! also
went over the camp sites that our regiment
occupied. l visited the first place we
stopped on landing Sunday, July TO- $685.
Bucky O'Neal, young Tiffany and four
others of Col. Roosevelt's men were buried
All these places have changed since the
days of the war.
Cuba is fast becoming Americanized
and in my opinion, the people are only
awaiting the opportunity to let Old Glory
stay put.
Corporal Boulay will be in the city about
a month. 1t is expected that he will give
an extended account of his travels and
observations in Cuba at reunion of Com
pany C's men to be held soon.

Moore Of the second precinct Friday even
ing. After hearing the conflict of testi-
mony Judge Kimball dismissed the case.

COAL FIELDS DISCUSSED.
Lecture at University Club by DR..
C. Willard Hayes.

DIR, c.. Willard Hayes of the geological
survey, delivered an address at the Uni
versity Club, 18th and X streets, last even
ing on the Coal Fields of the United
States" The lecture was similar to the
one which DR.. Campbell. one of DIR. Hayes
associates at the survey delivered before
the National Geographical Society several
weeks ago.
The most significant part of DIR. Hayes
address was the statement that 5000 o. 600
tons of coal have been consumed In the
United States since 1916, and during the
year of 1895, 1913. 100000 tons were con-
sumed. making the coal bill OF the United
States for that year $496 600, 600; $1,000 600
tons was Pennsylvania anthracite In view
of the enormous increase in coal consump-
ton, Dr. Hayes predicts that the coal sup
ply in this country will be exhausted with
in 40 years.
The speaker devoted the greater part of
his talk to a description of the various coal
regions of the country and the quality of
the product. He also discussed the geologi-
cal, technical and commercial aspects of
the coal situation.

ENTRY WAS UNUSUAL,
Fifteen Year-Old Child in Birth List
Issued Yesterday,

Seldom, if ever, does the local health de-
partment announce the birth Of a fifteen
year-old child in it's daily birth record, but
such was done in the record issued yes
terday "of births during the past twenty
four hours" Near the top of the list was
the announcement of the birth of female
child to Frederick W. and Antonio Field
man, October p, 1892
When the item was called to the atten-
ton Of DR.. Woodward, health officer, he
asked for an explanation from the statisti-
clan of the health office who has been keep
ing the birth and death records for a num-
Der of years, and later made statement
to the effect that the parents of the child
in question were residing in Washington at
the time of the birth, but removed to Phila-
delphia soon afterward. Several days ago,
Mr.. Feldman was in Washington on bust
ness and he called at the health office for
a certificate of his daughters birth, but no
trace of it could be found and he called
upon the physician. The latter had an en-
try of the birth upon his books, but had
failed to report 1t to the health office. Mr..
Feldman personally took the information to
the health Office and the birth Of his daugh-
ter was officially recorded and included In
the birth list issued yesterday.
According to DR.. Woodward it was not
until recent years that physicians were re-
quired to record all births at the health
Office and at the time of the birth of the
Feldman child the requirement was not in
force.
