Especial to the Evening Star. ]

TRENTON, June 22.-The New Jer-
sey members of the Tri- State Fisheries
Commission, composed of the fisheries
authorities Of New Jersey, New York
and Pennsylvania, are gathering data
and preparing to submit a proposition
for the publication of the Delaware, to
the meeting of the commission to be
held soon in the interest of the fisheries
of the three States. 1t is feared by the
commission that unless something be
done toward the publication of the
river that the next decade will find the
Delaware deserted by shad, as the
Hudson has been. Ten million small
fish, from a hatchery in Torresdale,
Pa, were placed in the river this year,
and the commissioners believe that this
will result in better shad fishing in the
Delaware.
New Jersey members of the commits
sion are: Thomas j. Hillery, president
of the Senate; Senators Edmund w.
Wakelee and Joseph r. Frelinghuysen;
Speaker Frank B. Jess, AssemblymGn

FAIR BALLOON|ST,

81 Never Took a Dare and So !

Sherman Says.
PLUNGES THROUGH SPACE
AND ISN'T BIT AFRAID

Pshaw! That Doesn't Amount

Its as safe to go 5000 feet into the

who yesterday made an ascension and
a spectacular drop in a big parachute
while thousands looked IN. Il was
dared to go up, and 1 never take a
dare, so I made the trip and had a most
delightful time" she observed.
Miss Lorraine is not a professional
balloonist. In her home town, Win
chester, Conn, she is timekeeper in the
Winchester Repeating Arm Company's
plant. She is now visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnnie Mack, who alternate in making
balloon ascensions rom Hillside Park.
How does it feel to be 1000 feet in
the air?" repeated Miss Sherman.
well. l simply can't tell you just what
my feelings were when 1 looked down
and saw a space of about a hundred
feet square hal represented Newark
For one thing 1 felt delightfully."- cool,
and the view was magnificent.
Il could see the Passaic River from
Little Falls to Newark Bay. 1t looked
beautiful and sparkling in the sun
light and did not appear to be more
thai a foot or SO wide. The people,
when seer at all, looked like SO many
tiny inspects.
During the twenty minutes I re-
manned in the air, the balloon Travelled
five miles. When I cut the parachute
loose and began to descend, it fell with
a rush for several hundred feet, then
gently unfurled and came slowly to the
earth. 1 fell, of course, when 1 struck
the ground over in Kingsland, and the
parachute toppled over on top, and
while 1 got a few scratches, they don't
amount to anything"
Miss Sherman exhibited several
scratches on her elbow where the skin
had been scraped off a spot the size of
a silver dollar. "Oh, a little thing like
that doesn't count" she said.
The amateur %aeronaut is but Is years
old and has made three ascensions.
Last summer she went up twice, each
time on a dare, from West Haven.
Last week she came to spend a few
days with Mrs. Mack n when the lat
ter dared her to go up in the balloon,
Miss Sherman, without even changing
her white dress, look her seat on the
bar and gave the word for the big air
bag to be released.
The balloon rose with great rapidity
and drifted with the wind In the direc-
ton of Rutherford. When almost over
Kingsland, Miss Sherman began the
descent. She avoided trees and houses
only to pause directly yer the Kings
land school. BY gymnastics On the bar
she finally persuaded the parachute to
clear the building and landed in the
yard.
Miss Sherman declares hat she would
rather be an a%eronaut than a time
keeper, and expects to turn professional
when n good opportunity presents
itself.

SHREWD SWINDLER GETS
MONEY FROM J. II. STRANGER,

James H. Stanger, of 351 Belleyille
avenue, reported to the police today
that he had been victimized by a
shrewd swindler who is believed to have
done the same to many other residents
of Newark.
A man called at the Stanger home,
saying that the agent, Hiram w. Morse,
a real estate dealer, had sent him to re-
pair the roof. After he had been on the
roof an hour or more he returned down.

structed him to get his pay from the
tenant and for the tenant to deduct the
amount from the next rent due. The
man was paid, but it developed that Mr.,
Morse had sent no one to mend the roof,
n that probably the roof did not re-
quire repairing.
