PREPARING TO SALT FISH.
Packing Houses Making Ready for
Arrival of Herring.

The fsh-packing houses along the river
and at this city and Alexandria are be-
ing made ready for the coming of shad
and herring in quantities sufficient to
make prices low enough to warrant the
sailing of the fish. The big sailing casks
and bins are being made ready for use,
supplies of salt and other material used
in the curing of the fish are being stored.
and it is expected that within the next
two weeks or three weeks. at the latest
the fish cutters will be busy on the 18th
street wharf and the sailing of herring
will be going on night and day in the
three big packing houses on the wharf
After the fish have been struck with salt
for day or two. they are packed in
barrels. half barrels. kegs and kits for
shipment TO all parts of the United States
The Potomac salt herring has repu-
tation for excellence from one end of the
country to the other, and in the three
weeks or month of the fishing season
many million of the fish are cut, sailed
and packed at this city. Owing tos the big
prices shad bring and the scarcity of
the fish, comparatively few of them are
packed. except on special orders. Salt is
being sent i'm large quantities from Alex
andria and Norfolk to the Potomac pack
ing houses. Several of the down river
fish packing plants are extensive indus
tries and a considerable portion of their
product is shipped to foreign countries.

FAVORS THE CHANGE.
Commissioner Macfarland Endorses
"Avenue Of the Presidents"

Commissioner Macfarland Endorses
"Avenue Of the Presidents"
District Commissioner Mcfarland is in
vestigating the power of the Commits
sioners to change the name of 10th street
above Florida avenue to avenue of the
Presidents" The plan to change the name
of 10th street to Avenue of the Presi-
dents was Endorsed by the Sixteenth
Street Association at recent meeting,
and speaking of that action this morning
Commissioner Macfarland said:
Il approve the name Avenue Of the
Presidents for 18th street, which ought
TO be called an avenue, as 1t is the great
north and south boulevard Of the Dis
trict of Columbia and part of the Rock
Creek Park system at its northern end.
I believe that the fact that it is not
called an avenue has affected the value
of property upon it. Only Congress can
change the name south Of Florida ave-
nue., and it is question to be considered
the name north of Florida avenue. We
have authority to make changes in names
Of streets outside OF Florida avenue, but
1t is a question whether this applies to
the prolongation of a north and south
street beginning in the city of Washing
ton, like 18th street. ] shall look into
this matter, as it has been suggested by
favor the change If it can be made law
full. Meantime the members of the as
sociation are taking very practical
method OF letting the world know about
the proposed new name and its advan-
tages by using 1t OH their stationery

B. F. Brandenburg. chief of police of
Dallas Tex, will leave there tonight to
bring a requisition here for julius Rob-
ertson, alias Bubber Robinson. colored.
who is wanted for alleged participation
in the murder Of Frank Wolford, a cot
ton grower, the night of November IL
last year. Robinson, who was living here
under the name of Charles Mcneil. was
arrested at an early hour yesterday
morning by Detective Baur. He soon
admitted his identity, and the Texas au-
thorities were advised of his capture.
Several weeks ago a descriptive circu-
lar offering reward of $500 for the cap
ture of Robinson was received from
Chief Brandenburg. The circular gave
an excellent description of the man
wanted. and contained the statement that
he was supposed to have gone to Okla
homa, having left Dallas armed with a
Winchester rifle and revolver. 1t is
stated that two other colored men are in
Jail at Dallas for alleged participation in
the crime.
story of the shooting of Wolford. He
said the actual shooting was done by
negro named Gene Jones, and that he
and a boy called Shine were with him.
His explanation was that the white man
was asked by one of them If he wanted
to employ any cotton pickers. and the
latter cut Jones short. They followed a
short distance and Jones ran in front of
the victim. drawing a gun and ordering
him to hold up his hands.
Robinson states that the planter drew
knife. that Shine grabbed him, and that
when Wolford struck at Shine Jones
fired the fatal shot The three colored
men separated Robinson stated, and the
next morning he left Dallas.
why did you leave?' the prisoner was
asked
Because 1 was an ex-convict and knew
it would be hard to prove my innocence"
Robinson said he had served two years
in the penitentiary for having killed
another man. The requisition for the
prisoner will probably be here in time
to have him in court Thursday.

HAS PASSED DOUBLING STAGE
UNIVERSITY CLUB ASSURED OF
NEW HOME.
Enthusiasm Aroused by Announce.
ment of Progress-Large Addi-
ton to Membership List.

The new 100000 home for the Uni

That was the announcement that made
the present clubhouse at 18th and X
streets shake with the cheers of a cou-
pie of hundred members Saturday night
II was made on the basis of the weeks
progress made by those interested in the
project.
But the really significant feature of the
statements made at the gathering of the
members of the club last evening was
in regard to the number of applications
for membership. The limit has nearly
been reached and yet there are, 1t was
stated, over sixty the waiting list
Some of the members limited last evening
that the board of admissions was little
slow in acting on the applications. and
in reply it was limited by a member of
the board that the popularity of the club
had resulted in swamping the committee
with applications, and yet they must pre-
serve the same care in admitting new
members which has been taken when the
waiting list was smaller.
The unusual popularity of the club at
present. it is declared, is due to the as
sured success of the project for building
clubhouse. which will be the finest
south of New York. The individual men,
bers Of the club are taking a great in
terest in the building project, as shown
by the large number of subscribers to

officers expect that every member of the
