have been SEEMING the deep holes of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal above and be-
low Harpers Ferry since the water was
drawn off.
The fish get into the holes Of the canal
bed. and when the water is drawn they
remain. At the request of the associa-
ton United States Fish Commissioner
Bowers sent two gangs of his men. under
the orders of Capt Harron, to seine these
fish last month and place them in the
waters of the Potomac. They found on
their arrival at the canal outlet and the
holes that they had been preceded and
the largest and best fish taken.

The man told the secretary, DIR. w. P.
Young, that he had nearly 700 pounds of
the bass.
1t is the purpose of the association TO
interest every angler SO that such ma
rauding be stopped, and the fish put back
into the river for fishing in the spring.
Several years ago "A similar effort was
made, with the result that from 1900 to
5000 fish were returned 10 the Potomac,
and excellent fishing followed the year
after. Several bills for such protection
are before the Maryland legislature.

There was quick action on the part OF

burned the documents found I'm the files.
1t is proposed to subpoena them before
the grand jury. The packers got word

Office Forces Get Busy.
Almost Immediately the Office forces Of
certain concerns which the government
contemplated investigating got busy with
old books and papers and there were sew
eral small bonfres.
In spit Of this attempt to block the
investigation the federal authorities are
planning to proceed with the inquiry.
There still remain the files of the railroad
companies, which are available for the
use of the federal grand jury, and which
contain duplicates of much of the cor

companies will burn their records, for
such action is forbidden by law.

Mayor Roses Remarks.
Mayor Rose of Milwaukee said:
1--WE win concede absolutely" said Mr..
Rose. that if prohibition in fact pro-
ribits all other considerations should be
sacrificed in the interest of the general
welfare, just as building may be blown
up or RACED to prevent the spread of a
conhagration. But if the opposite of these
is true then not only should prohibition
be refused as an ethical proposition, ,ut
questions of investment of capital, state
and federal revenue, etc, should weigh IN
the balance in favor of the other remedy.
But we cannot reject prohibition as
better. and L believe regulation is the
remedy"
Rules for Regulation.
The following rules as to regulation
were suggested by the speaker: License
should never be granted to an unworthy
person.
Licenses should never be granted TO
keepers of illegal places or to persons
who would permit open or secret gam
bling.
Minors should be excluded from sa-
looms and sales to minors should be pro-
hibited
