BRANDYWINE
Pollution Of the Stream Be-
IieVed to Be a Cause
of II

The water Of the Brandywine was
again colored with the Objectionable
dyes and refuse Of mills in Pennsyl-
vania yesterday. The color was similar
to the reddish hue Of last week, sut
was not so pronounced. A thorough in
vestigation will be made Of the trouble
at once.
Many dead fgh are now floating down
the Brandywlne. and the pollution Of the
stream is believed to be cause for their
death.
At the RoclSland mills Of the Je5sup
and Moore Paper Company this morning
a big bacset Of dead bass, trout and cat
fish was taken from the traps which pre-
vent refuse going into the mills through
the race and quantities of dead fish loat-
ed down the stream.
A fisherman of that section said it was
unusual to see the dead bass and trout
and he ascribed it to the draining OF dye
