country. In addition there are watch

The arrangement of the grounds and
ponds was most artistic and the reserva-
ton regarded as one of the prettlest
of the capitals parks. Flower beds in pro-
fusion were on all hands while the banks OF
the pools were lined with weeping willows
and other trees and growths. In the ponds
gold and silver fish, carp, bass, crappie ana
other members of the finny family disported
and the grounds were nearly always popu-
lated by many song BIRDS because OF their
immunity from harm.
Woe-Begone Appearance.
When Star reporter visited the one Inc
beauty spot it presented a generally Woe
begone appearance, and an official w. u
thority for the statement that in short
while the fish ponds and park will be things
of the past The official said it is proposed
to convert the largest of the ponds into
new bathing beach and abandon the old
beach because of the alleged pollution of Its
waters by the liquids from the nearby sew
ers. The building formerly occupied as a
dwelling by Superintendent Green will be
employed as dressing rooms for the bathers
and also as office, 1t was added
The new office structure in the northwest
corner of the reservation has been set
aside 1t is stated, for a headquar-
tiers building for the United States park
police force. At present the park police are
using as a station house the old stone land
mark at the foot OF 1ith street, Immediately
opposite the new fish ponds building.
1t Is contemplated to remove from the
ponds intended for use as public bathing
pools all the growths of marine grass and
to cover the bottoms of the ponds with sill
yer sand. Then a clear outlet and inlet
from the Potomac will be arrayed The ar
rangements for these changes, 1t was ex-
planned today, are as yet tentative, but 1t Is
expected that the active work Of transform
alton may begin soon.
Established Many Years Ago.
The fish ponds were established many
years ago under the shadow of the tall
Washington memorial shaft. At first they
were plain and unpretentious in appear
ance and among the first fish propagated
there was the German carp. The fact
that the carp has become a numerous
denizen of the Potomac is due to the culture
of those fish at the ponds. On the occasion
of an overflow of the river in the freshet
season, it is said, thousands of young and
old carp were swept into the Potomac and
the stream was thus stocked for all time
There are several varieties Of the carp

Result of the Haman Law.

claimed, the oyster vote in the eastern

cratic section of it-last fall, and Repre-

$500 votes In district which is normally
democratic by from 1000 to 5000. Repre-
sentative William H. Jackson, the strong
est republican on the eastern shore, also
received much oyster support because of
his known opposition to the Hannah bill.
When IL was up at Annapolis he went
there, and in company with Representative
Sydney E. Mudd fought its passage 1t is

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EFFECT OF THEIR VOTE IN CAM
PAIGN DISCUSSED.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
DENTON, Md, March 81, 1907
The effect of the oyster vote in the COM
ing Maryland campaign for state officers is
being discussed, in view of the recent hos
tihty manifested, particularly in Anne
Arundel county, against the work of the
shelfish commission. This commission
was named in accordance with the so-called
Hannah law passed at the last session Of
the Maryland legislature, and the object of
which is TO lease certain parts of the oyster
grounds in the Chesapeake bay. For
years the oystermen have bitterly opposed
this proposition, and session after session
of the legislature has been given up to dis
cussion of Hannah bills, the father of
which was B. Howard Hannah, a Baltimore
lawyer and a resident of Hartford county,
which is not an oyster county. Mr..
Humans idea was that the Chesapeake
beds were being rapidly depleted under the
old system, which allowed the taking of
oysters by anybody who had a pair of tongs
or a dredging vessel and that II the oyster
grounds were placed under proper state SUI
pervsion, and so-called barren beds"
leased to individuals or corporations under
the protection of the state, for definite
periods and at adequate rentals, the income
from that source would be ample, in rea-
sonable time, to permanently improve the
public roads of the state.
Under the tdmdn law, WHICH, dilcf
years of dissension and turmoil at Annapo-
lis, was finally passed last year. the she'll
fish commission, with the aid of the United
States government, which gave appro-
priation of $4,000, and the aid of the
coast and geodetic survey TO the work, has
been marking the natural" beds of the
Chesapeake and its tributaries. Lately the
| oystermen of Anne Arundel have destroyed
a number of markers and shown unre
| lentins hostility to the labors of the COM
| mission.
| But what is interesting Maryland poll
| ticians at present is this indication of the
/ views of the oystermen, who in the tide
| water counties hold the balance OF power
| and upon whose votes will doubtless depend
| the outcome of the state election this year
| The passage of the Haman bill is generally
| attributed to the defeat for the state SEN
| ate for third term of William F. Apple
| garth, long the democratic boss of
| Dorchester county, on the eastern shore,
| one of the foremost oyster counties. For
| two sessions of the legislature the defeat
| of the Hannah bill was credited to Mr. APP
| plegarth. At the election in 1905, however,
| he was opposed by a large section of the
| Dorchester democracy, known the Har
| rington-Henry faction. and including former
| Representative w. Laird Henry, and despite
! his strength with the oystermen was beaten
| by the republican candidate, Senator An
| drews, a farmer and Gamer, who voted for
| the Hannah bill
