BRAVE F|REMEN
FACE FLAMES
Fifty Overcome BY Fumes
in New York

NEW YORK, May 14-Fifty firemen
were overcome today while fighting
one of the worst fires the department
had to contend with in years.
The building was occupied by the
Remington typewriter company.
1t is feared number of men will die
from the effects of breathing the
fumes.
The flames started in the cellar where
great piles of carbon paper lay. The
paper only smouldered sending the
poisonous fumes through the upper
floors and increasing the danger as the
water poured on.
The fire was confined to the lower
part of the building. The property
loss is not great.

COUNCIL TO OPEN BIDS
FOR THE new CITY HALL

Opening of the bids for bonds for the
purpose of erecting the city hall will
be the principal feature of tonights
council meeting.
Up to a late hour this afternoon only
one bid, that of S. A. Keene of Chicago,
had been received. although more than
so statements concerning the bids had
been sent out by City Clerk Hart.
1t is probable the licenses for house
movers, ciairvOyants, and the trading
stamp concerns will be introduced.

Efforts have been made to locate the
men and tho officers have been partly
successful. 1t is intimated that all the
men will have been apprehended before
the matter is dropped.
Each of the seven men who furnished
cash bonds are supplying the funds
which are being used to apprehend
them. 1t is estimated the county Will
not be at any expense in getting the
men to trial.
The announcement that others of the
fugitives had been captured would not
be surprise to those who are inter-
ested in the case.

aoo,o 900 Brook Trout Fry Dead.

In the past six weeks 300 900 brook trout
fry have died at the state hatchery in
RoXbury. II is hoped that the mortality
will decrease from now on As the trout
grow older the disease seems to have
less effect on them. After they have
passed the stage Of absorbing the sac
and have begun TO take food, they are in
little danger. Already 10000 are consd-
cred safe, as they have been taking food
for two weeks, The remaining 100000
are nearing that stage ana IL is hoped
that a fair proportion of them may be
saved
The disease is peculiar. 1t attacks only
brook trout fry Fingerlings and older
fish are not affected, nor are the fry of
lake trout or brown trout.
After it had progressed some weeks
last year, the assistance of the
United States bureau of fisheries was re-
quested and Prof. NJ. c. Marsh was sent
to the hatchery TO make an investigation
He was unable to account for the trouble.
The water supply was good ana cultures
for bacteria produced negative results.
The fry We're anaemic, but there was
nothing 10 be found to account for the
anaemia, nor was ii plain why brook
trout fry alone should he affected, when
other fish were bred in the same water
and under the same conditions.
1t was NOT the fault of inbreeding, a
danger In hatcheries, for a large part of
lllt eggs natcneu We're purchased from Il
private hatchery, $4,000 were furnished
by the bureau Of fisheries from Colorado
wild trout and only 100000 were from
stock fish ar the hatchery
The hatchery fry and those from the
private stock We're first attacked, but
later the wild Colorado fry also succumb
ed to the disease. Later. as an expert
ment, some fry taken by the government
hatchery at St Johnsbury from Lake
| Mansfield, a private preserve. were placed
in the hatchery troughs, and these too
died.
There are frequently such cases of cpl
demic at hatcheries but it is seldom thar
the cause cannot be determined and rem
edied. The trouble at the RoXbury hatch
cry has thus far baffied the experts. The
bureau of fisheries will be asked by H.
G. Thomas, the state commissioner of
game and fisheries, to send an expert to
the hatchery again this year, in the hope
that the cause of the trouble may be dis
! covered.
The state furnishes no fry for private
waters Under the present law persons
| owning ponds or streams which they
stock with artifcally raised fry are given
certain privileges and special protection
| and the preserves thus constituted are
| increasing in number and extent every
| year

PROTESTS AGAINST CANADIAN
SEEMING.
Senator Proctor Writes Secretary Root
Concerning Alleged Violation of Off
ciaI Promise,

Senator Proctor Writes Secretary Root
Concerning Alleged Violation of OFF,
claI Promise.
United Etates Senator Redield Proctor
has written a letter to Secretary Elihu
Root of the state department calling his
attention to the action of the Canadian
authorities in licensing SEEMING in Mis-
ssquoi bay, part of Lake Champlain, in
alleged violation of a promise said to
have been made last year by Jean Pro-
vost, minister of fisheries at Quebec.
It is understood that Secretary Root has
announced his intention of bringing the
matter to the notice of the British am
bassador Mr. Bryce.
In his letter to the secretary Senator
Proctor said that the people of Vermont
are very indignant at the action of the
Quebec authorities, and he inclosed news
paper clippings indicating that the action
was a violation of good faith, as Jean
Provost i'm his letter of March IA, 1906, to
our Vermont fish commissioner, repeated
what he had previously declared on sew
eral OccasiOns-that SEEMING would be-
prohibited in the province of Quebec after
that year"
Continuing, Senator Proctor's letter
says: This was from a Canadian Off
cial from the Quebec minister of fish
cries to our Vermont commissioner, as
official a declaration as could well be
made, and it has been directly violated
At the session Of our legisla ture last No
vember a bill passed the House by a large
majority authorizing SEEMING i'm Mssis-
quot bay. 1t would have passed the Sem
ate, except that special effort was made
against it on account of the promise of
the Quebec minister that Quebec would
not license SEEMING longer.
There is United States government
hatchery built and operated by the United
States fish commission six miles up
the Missisquoi river from the place where
the Canadian licensed seiners are operat-
ing, and the Quebec government. besides
its shameful breach of faith, directly in
Juries and insults our government by IL
censing SEEMING to catch all fish that are
on the way up 10 our hatchery, where
their spawn would be taken and Matched
and young fish be put back in the lake
for the benefit of Canadians and Ameri-
cans alike.
Does not this situation, Mr. Secretary
call for peremptory action on your part?'

RoosEvELT's PLEA FOR SHIP SUB
SIDY.
The Only Device That Will Restore Our
Commerce to the Hleh Seas. He Says.

The Only Device That Will Restore Our
Commerce to the High Seas, He Says.
Congressman +. NJ Pollard has received
a letter from President Roosevelt thank
ing him and other Western Congressman
for their support of the ship subsidy bill
and deprecating the defeat of the bill as
a serious injury to the commercial inter
ests.
Il feel" the President writes that
you men from the West who stood by
the cause of American shipping deserve
the same praise that should be accorded
to those men of the seacoast regions who
voted for national irrigation in the states
from Kansas, Nebrask2 and the Dakotas
westward TO California, Oregon and WASH
ington. At that time the argument was
made to me by many men east of the
Mississippi that it was not fair to ask
their support of a measure purely to bene-
fit the states of the great plains and the
Rockies. My answer to them was that
anything that benefited a part of this
country ultimately benefited all of it,
The same argument applies now i'm ref
erence TO the shipping bill.
1T is deeply discreditable to us as a
nation that our shipping should be driven
from the high seas, and it has thus been
driven, partly because of our steamship
lines being quite unable to compete with
foreign steamship lines which are heavi-
ly subsidized by their governments, and
partly because of the high standard of
wages and of living which We exact for
our seamen. This has created an obstacle
to the development of our shipping which
is insurmountable except by a subsidy,
and this obstacle must be cleared away as
we would clear away a bar from the
mouth of a river"

When the Worms Invaded Vermont and
New Hampshire.

In the summer of 1910 this whole sec
tion of country was visited by an extra
ordinary calamity, such a one as this
country never experienced before or
since, beyond what l shall here specify.
II was an army of worms. which extend
ed from Lancaster n. H., to Mortified.
in Massachusetts. They began to appear
the latter part of July. 1870, and contin-
ued their raVages until September The
inhabitants denominated them the
northern Army" as they seemed to ad-
vance from the north or northwest, and
to pass east and south, although I do
not learn that they ever passed the high
lands between the Connecticut and Mer-
rimack rivers. They were altogether in
Vulnerable for multitude. DR. Burton of
Theuord, VT, told me that he had seen
whole pastures so covered that he could
not put down his finger in a single spot
without placing it upon a worm. He
said he had seen more than ten bushels
in heap. They were unlike ANYTHING
which the present generation has ever
seen. There was a stripe upon the back
like black velvet; on either side, a yellow
stripe from end to end and the rest OF
the body was brown. They were some
times seen not larger than a pin but in
their maturity they We're as long as n
mans finger, and proportionably large
in circumference.-[The "Observant Cit
