ENEMIES OF GAME FISH.
Destructive Work of Cormorants,
Herons and Gulls.
From the Fishing Gazette.

From the Fishing Gazette.
The common herons are to my mind one
or the most destructive agents of fish life.
living as they do entirely in the vicinity of
1resh water and fishing not only in lake
anu stream, but in estuaries as we'll 10
the herons must be of course added two
other Kinds OF birds equally destructive in
our Hsherles, gulls Of Various sorts and
the cormorants tgreen cormorant or shag,.
ana the only extenuating circumstance /
can possibly see in favor of the latter
birds is that fortunately the bulk of their
KIND keep on the salt water.
However, | may add that | have seen
cormorant eject a trout Of twelve inches
In order to facilitate fight, and | have
also seen other cormorants so rxsd with
sea trout as to be unable to escape with
out great difficulty, and one was knocked
on the head BY an angler while in this
condltlon. In those instances the birds
were probably ten miles from the sea.
AS regards gulls, the damage done by
them to fresh-water fisheries is undoubt-
edly great, and only few weeks ago
watched gull therring sulD at work in
trout stream. and a herring gull IS cap
able of easily swallowing trout larger
than herring. Now what is the remedy,
and l do not for one minute suggest or
wish for determination? What | would
suggest is that all rivers and estuaries
controlled by fishery districts should be
kept as clear as possible of ccrmorants in
particular, and these BIRDS would soon
leave any particular district if much dis
turbed: at any rate, drive them ou to a
as owing to the depth of water once out
side they would be much less detrimental
Gulls have their uses In clearing a har-
Dor of garbage, etc, and act as sscay-
engers. and they do not dive, but when
they stray from the paths Of rectitude, as
is often the case, and go inland and at
tack our trout streams, charge of shot
is the best corrective. Herons too are easily
scared. and would soon leave a district ii
much disturbed. but the shaS or cor
morant | would give no quarter to per-
sonally under any conditions, and ! be-
lieve that not long ago the Exc fishery
authorities gave reward OF one shilling
for every cCrmorant killed.
AS proof of the destructive powers OF
sea birds. i once shot ans adult great
northern diver and took from it five fresh
iy swallowed fish. each fish being about
five inches in length, and of the kind To-
cally known as .stinsers.' The full
! amount of fish at this rate taken by one
bird during a day can therefore be left
to the imagination, but in any case must
be enormous.

Hospital in Heart of City
Is Favored by Sylvester

Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of police
is active in promoting the establishment
of a hospital for inebriates and victims
of the drug habit. He has advocated
such an institution for many years. Now
he hopes something will be accomplished
There can be no doubt about the need
Of such an institution" Maj Sylvester
told Star reporter. 1T would not be
an expensive investment Why such a
hospital has not been established 1 can
not understand
Several intoxicated persons have died
III police cells during the time Mai. Syl-
vester has been police chief Had there
been an inebriate asylum, it is argued,
these lives might have been saved.
Opposes Use Of Almshouse.
Maj. Sylvester's ideas are somewhat
different from those entertained by 9TH
ers interested in the work. He does not
favor all the provisions of the bill in
troduced by Senator Gallinger. April g,
1908
That bill makes drunkenness INSIDE
meanor and includes a habitual use of
opium or other narcotics. the penalty be-
ing fine of not more than 500 or i'm
prisonmen in the hospital for inebriates
for period Of not more than two years
or both.
The police chief has no fault to find
with making the offense misdemeanor
or with the penalty prescribed. He OBJ
1ects seriously to the establishment of
the hospital on reservation 13 in
the building formerly used as the aims
house.
The hospital at so great a distance
from the heart of the city. Mai Sylvester
says, would not afford the relief so great
ly desired: With chronic cases. he states,
this would not matter. Hundreds of
cases the police would have to handle
would be Of different sort.
MY idea is he stated that such an
institution should be in the heart of the
city at a point where victims of alcohol
and the drug habit and doubtful cases
could be treated without delay
Maj. Sylvester realizes that some III
persons who are picked up on the streets
present the false appearance of alcohol.
ism. These should be given immediate
treatment he says.
There are many intoxicated persons and
victims of the drug habit who also should
get quick treatment. The time consum.
ed in hauling them all the way to a
building on reservation 13 might prevent
the saving of many lives.
Accommodation for Sixty.
Should such hospital be established
Maj Sylvester thinks. it should contain
accommodations for at least sixty per.
sons. and the law should throw about il
all the safeguards imaginable. The time
patient is held in the hospital. he thinks
should be determined by the physicians
in charge. care being taken always to dc
the best for the patient and his or hel
family. There should be competen,
and experienced physician on duty at al
times.
Under the bill introduced by Senator
Gallinger. provision is made that persons
who come within the provision of the
proposed act may be sentenced by any
judge of court in the District OF Co.
lumbia. it being stipulated that such per-
sons must have lived i'm the District al
least six months Immediately preceding
such commitment. In all cases the &C.

used is to have the right of trial by

cused is to have the right of trial by
jury.
1t is also provided that certificates filed
in such cases must contain information
respecting the habits of the accused and
certain of his relatives. In all cases rela-
tives have to be advised of the action OF
the court.
Inmates of the asylum. when able. are
to work at some useful occupation. Pro-
vision is also contained in the bill for the
punishment of saloonkeepers and licensed
dealers in narcotics who shall sell such
articles to persons who have been con-
victed A penalty is also provided for
the customers.
Maj. Sylvester is in sympathy with
many provisions of the bill. He will
make a strenuous effort, however. to
prevent the taking of the almshouse
building for such a hospital
