THE FlSHERMEN'S VOTE.
How It Silenced Evans Twelve-inch
Guns.

Rear Admiral Evans, in the entertain
ing series of articles on the American
Navy, which he is writing for Hamptons
Broadway Magazine, touches on wide
range of topics. This is what he has to
say in the October number of the I'M
expected connection between fishermen
and taget practice.
After the Spanish war the matter of
target practice became a very live is
sue in the navy and we began to look
about us for a suitable body of water
on which to hold it. Owing to the range
of the heaviest guns it was necessary to
have clear space of at least eight miles
in which to fire them and this must be
reasonably smooth water-the smoother
the better. Menemsha Blight on the sea-
side of Marthas Vineyard. was a prom
Using spot, and the North Atlantic squad
ron twice held its practice there. Then
came the unexpected. Petitions many
yards long, signed by all sorts and CON
ditions of men along the coast. and for
warded by senators and members of Con-
gress, were received at the navy depart
ment requesting that this practice should
cease at once, as the firing had driven all
the good fish to sea and the ruin of all
fishing industries would surely follow IL
we kept on. I was just then ordered to
command the squadron and / read some
of these petitions with much interest
One of.them was signed by over 1900 peo-
pie pufporting to be fishermen who fol-
lowed their calling In Menemsha Blight.
My chief of staff at that time Captain
Pillsbury. a most able and distinguished
officer, was a Massachusetts man and,
being of an inquisitive turn of mind,
proceeded to find out what these COM
plants really amounted to and who was
making them. 1t was absolutely essen

Cape Cod Bay, off Barnstable, as the

Upon careful investigation it was found
from the records of the fish commission
stations in and about Martha's Vineyard
that the run of fish, particularly blue
fish, had been larger the year after the
first target firing by the squadron than
for ten years previously. Many fisher
men who made living at their trade
testified to the same effect. but all of
this testimony had no effect on the petit
tions which came in such numbers
and with such backing that it was plain
that the navy would have to quit target
firing in Menemsha Blight and do its
work as best it could at some other
