THEY MAY IMPORT HERE
THE DANUBE STURGEON

COMMISSIONS Bowers. ofthe Uni
ted States Fish Commission, an
nounced that there is a strong pro-
liability that the famous Danube
sturgeon will be successfully intro
duced into the waters of the United
States, says the Washington Post.
Until a fewyeaTs ago the rivers and
bays Of the middle Atlantic States
contained great quantities of stur-
geon but, because Of inadequate
laws for their protection and the
ruthless manner Of fishing for them
that valuable fish has been practi-
cally exterminated
The fish commission has made
dilligent efforts 10 save the stur-
geon, and has had its experts on
the Delaware where the sturgeon
was once most abundant, and other
waters where they were formerly
found, in an effort 10 catch a male
and female in o1de- that the eggs
might be taken and Matched.
Notwithstanding their earnest

this country The sterlet, is very
prolific and hardy, and will, if prop
erly protected until we'll started
take the place Of shad which is
getting scarcer every year, but the
other fish that are growing less
plentiful.
These two Danube fish are par
ticularly valuable becaure they are
not a season fish like the shad, but
run in the waters of their habitat
throughout the year. The Danube
sturgeon grows to an enormous
size and weight, and 600 to 500
pound fish are frequently caught.
An Soo-pound fish will give about
$50 pounds of Caviar, and fresh
caviar sells in New York and the
European cities from ST to $40 a
pound.
The cavier from the Danube
sturgeon is considered the finest in
the world. Both the sturgeon and
sterlet are most abundant in the
ROmanian part of the Danube, and
in eastern and southern Romania,
they are the principal food of the
people.
Through the arrangements made
by Mr.. Knowles, there will be ship
ped from Roumania a large num-
Der Of 2o-gallon cans containing
Milford chronicle., 1909-05-07

millions of yot7 & sturgeon and
| sterlet Without any expense TO
this government these cans of
young FISH will be delivered at
Bremen or Hamburg to a represen-
tative Of the United States Fish
Commission who will take charge
of them and bring them on one of
the fastest express steamers to
New York. The young fish will
then be sent to the nearest hatch
cry and there cared for until they
have recovered from their 1000
mile voyage, and are in condition
to be turned into the Hudson, Del
aware, Susquehanna and. Potomac
rivers.
The fish commission is deeply
ly interested in this experiment,
and it is the opinion of Commits
sioner Bowers that the chances are
decidedly in favor Of its being sue
cessful.
Minister Knowles said.
There are few matters connect
ed with our country food supply
more important than our FISH pro-
duction. When it is considered
that by reason of the increase of
our population the demand is in
creased and that with the gradual
and constant falling off Of the |
Milford chronicle., 1909-05-07

catch Of all kinds of fish the supply
is lessened, it is one of the serious
problems that confront our country
A plentiful supply Of FISH during all
seasons of the year is one Of the
greatest blessings that our country
or any other can have.
"Meats cannot sell for high pri-
ces when FISH is plentiful and cheap.
The best and surest protection the
people can have against the meat
trust is to have certain and abun-
dant supply of fish. Ii is a great
economical question and it is no
wonder that our government is Civ
ing such serious attention to it
so many and vast are our wa
ters-rive1s, lakes and bays-that
once stocked with suitable FISH and
then properly protected by law
against the determination methods
of the ruthless and imprOvident
fisherman, the United States should
have the largest and best fish SUP
ply per capita Of any country in
the world. For the good Of my
country l am deeply interested in
this matter and will be very happy
if I can do anything to better pres
ent conditions.

efforts and the expenditure of not
less than 81 900 a year for three
years for that purpose, they were
unsuccessful.
The announcement of Commits
siouer Bowers, to the effect that
it is probable American waters may
again TEEN with sturgeon, has been
made possible by the cooperation
of Horace G. Knowles, until recent
~ the American minister to ROu-
mania, Servia, and Bulgaria, now
accredited to Nicaragua. The
pleasant relations Minister Knowles
enjoyed with the Roumanian gov
eminent enabled him before leav-
ing Roumania to arrange with the
Roumanian governerment to ar
range with its officials to send
to the United States a large guam
tity of Danube Sturgeon fry; also
several large cans of the fry OF ster-
let, another very valuable Danube
fish, which is considered the most
delicious of all European fish.
Minister Knowles; who is in
Washington, told a representative
Of the Post that he is interested in

)ortant food fish to American wa
.ers because his investigations con-

following letter 10 Minister
Knowles:
II wish to take this opportunity
. to express my appreciation of your
intelligent interest in the introduc
ton Of the Roumania sterlet and
sturgeon into the waters Of the At
lantic coast.
Your conference with the Rou-
manian authorities has left the mat
ter in such shape that it is now
possible for this bureau to proceed
in a definite way; and it is my in
tention to take this subject up i'm
mediately with the Romanian in
spector-general of fisheries, Profes-
sor Gregory Antipa.
THE serious condition of our
fisheries makes every
effort to re-establish or improve
them worthy of hearty cOmmen
dation, and the proposition to in
troduce desirable exotic species is
regarded by this bureau with spe-
cial favor. If through your inter
est the rivers of the country may

sterlet, YOU have conferred a last
ing boon on the entire country.

Wall street insiders as the man who
carried the biggest bank balances in
America. Time and again it has served
him we'll in times of financial emer-

enormous rates and in spectacular
fashion and for that reason the public

RObber Hits Express Agent with
Pipe and Disappears with Money.
By the very audacity of their work,
two highwaymen got away with
package containing s14,165 from the
Canadian Express Company's Office in
the Grand Trunk station at Niagara
Falls, Ont, at o'clock Thursday
morning. The police have thus far
been unable to obtain the slightest
clew to the robbers. AS William Dob
son. cashier of the office, was engaged
in doing up a package containing the
money stolen, stranger made inquiry
about a package. Dobson could not
make out the name, as the man did
not enunciate clearly. Dobson asked
the name second time, and, still be-
ing unable to make 1t out, he stepped
down to the counter to get the receipt
book. The robber quickly struck DOB
son a terrific blow over the head with
piece of pipe. The cashier sank 70
the floor, and the stranger walked lei
surely out with the package of money.

WRECKERS DTRAIL A TRAIN.
Nickel Plate Fast Passenger Crashes
Into Building Near Cleveland.


EaSt-bound passenger train No. ..
from Chicago, on the Nickel Plate
road, was wrecked by train wreckerS
Friday night west of Willoughby sta
ton, few miles from Cleveland Two
men were fatally hurt and at least &
dozen others suffered serious injury
Near the track were found crow bar
and monkey wrench evidently used by
the train wreckers to accomplish their
purpose.
Running at perhaps fifty miles an
hour, three of the coaches were derail
ed and the engine overturned and de
molished. The engineer was probably
fatally injured and the fireman serious
ly hurt. One mans back was broker
and many others suffered minor inju.
ries.
The three cars derailed were the
smoker and two other coaches imme'
diately behind the engine Nearly ev.
cry passenger in these was injured
The baggage car dashed into a hool
mill at the siGe of the track and de
molished it. Portions of the falling
building landed on the wrecked engine
and were set aflre. The flames com
municated to some of the coaches, but
the Willoughby fire department re
spOnded and quenched the flames.
