PROTECTION ron TROUT.
Need Of the New Law Shortening the Fi'h'
ing season In the AdlrOndacks.

MALONE, N. Y, May 2.-The Adirondack
fishermen who we're all ready to begin trout
fishing at daybreak on April 10 have fed
their halt 10 the chickens with much
grumbIng. The need Of the new law post
poning the season up here until May -
nevertheless quite apparent.
Within recent years trout have almost
entirely disappeared from many Of the
Adirondack lakes and streams, and It i'
the policy Of the State TO restore them bv
stocking the waters and shortening the
season. Under the new law it will also
be much easier to enforce the prohibition
against fishing through the ice.
The lakes up here are not often free
from ice until about May !, and in past years
only too many Of the local fishermen have
shared the views Of an old guide who sayG
Il fsh for suckers. II a trouts damn fool
enough to hang himself on my hook 'tain't
my fault
Fishing through the ice ranks next in
destructiveness TO fishing on the spawning
beds. The trout which have been shut mp
under the ice all winter swarm toward the
light and it is no trick at all TO catch them
The proprietor Of an Adirondack hotel
tells Of seeing 900 trout taken out Of one
hole in one hour.
Now that il is illegal TO fish a night 1t will
also be easier TO enforce the law against the
use Of nets.
The scarcity OF trout in some Of the Ad-
irondack lakes is explained by the presence
OF pickerel which feed upon the trout
The pickerel come from the st. Lawrence
River One man who confessed TO putting
some Of these pests into a lake famous Tor
its trout fishing said he did 80 because the
pickerel we're larger and were easier TO
catch, and in his opinion tasted Just as
good as trout,
Usually, though. they have been put in
for spite When they appeared in Long
Lake the Walton Trout Club OF Utica Of
fered reward OF $500 TO any one who would
tell who put them In, but II could not find
out who did H.
Navigation has also injured the trout
fishing The many gaeolene and electric
launches that ply about the lakes have
been especially harmful.
The main reason, though for the dis
appearance Of the trout is that they have
been almost all lshed out. A veteran
fisherman says in regard 10 this:
There are 200 men fishing now where
there was one formerly. | can remem-
Der the rtime when there were only two
houses in New York city that carried fish
ing tackle. Now there are hundreds of
them and hundreds more scattered all over
the State.
1T has got 50 that every man, woman
and child who goes to an Adirondack resort
wants to take home a big string Of trout
or else get his board money back. The
trout can't keep up 10 the demand.

and hey wouldn't b surprised II the falling
o. ls even greater than that.
What this will mean 10 the Brooklyn
subway may bo gathered from the fact that
the Long Island carried last year 2S,o60,541
people. That this will mean quite a loss
10 tho Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
is easy 10 see.
Heretofore that road has taken prach-
cally all tho trahlo arriving at Flatbush
avenue, Whero the Brooklyn elevated rail-
road has had a connection as well as the
surface cars TO Manhattan. In order to
reach any part Of Manhattan save the
section directly tributary to the bridge
II was necessary for the Long Islander 10
pay two nickels For one fare he can now
ride from Flatbush avenue 10 any part
OF New York. The Brooklyn Rapid Tran
Sit loses the other fare.
Furthermore the Interborough expects
10 get the short riders, or those who have
taken the Brooklyn Rapid Transit trains
over the bridge 10 reach the downtown
section OF Manhattan, and the Long Island
shoppers bound for the Brooklyn stores
as well, all Of whom, II their calculations
prove correct, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
must lose.
For this great change In traffic the Long
Island Railroad has been preparing for
some years, The new station built at
FlAtbush and Atlantic avenues in Brooklyn
is an underground station, with the Long
Island trains and the subway trains on the
same level. What is more, the platforms
connect, and by taking only q few steps
one can 20 from one train TO the other.
Possibly the most interesting feature OF
the station is the physical connection the
tracks make with each other, A subway
train could, II II we're desired, continue on
10 Montauk Point. or vioe versa.
The Long Island Railroad system Is the
only suburban system 90 far to be thus
physically connected with the subway sys-
tenn. OF course no plans have been made

COUNTERFEITS FROM SPAIN.
German Police Have Theories About
Prisoners Arrested in Berlin.

Prisoners Arrested in Berlin.
The Berlin police are led to the conclusion
that there s an international band OF coiners
at work In Europe through several arrests
that they have recently made. They be-
lieve that its headquarters Is in Spain
The counterfeit money is made there
oounterfeits of the coinage Of other coun-
tries-and then agents are sent out to
circulate IT,
In February last an attractive girl Of ls
or 90 was arrested in a large dry goods
store after Offering in payment for a small
purchase a counterfeit silver mark piece,
coin worth about tl.25. At the police
station a number Of the bad pieces were
found on her. She had pat story about
getting them in change somewhere, but
she was locked up. She registered as
Philomene Soler OF Casteltarsole, a place
near Barcelona, and said she had expected
pOlice found she told the truth Her father
is an interpreter there.
When the police examined the bad coins
critically they identified them Ss Of the
same mintinF as a quantity that had been
hoated few months earlier by French
engineer named Brousville, who had been
clearly identified as a member Of Partisan
band Of coiners The Paris police were
notified and attempts we're made TO trace
lines leading frorO the girl to Paris. but
without avail
There seemed 70 be a deadlock when
nbout the beginning Of this month young

evening In Berlin shop in the Milk Market
