SUPPLY OF SHAD SCARCE.
Herring Offerings Also Limited at
18th Street Wharf.

The supply of shad on sale at the 18th
street wharf market has been rather
scarce for the past day or two and all
the fish reaching the 18th street wharf
wholesale market are quickly bought up
by dealers in the uptown markets. Prices
have changed but little from early in this
week, buck shad selling at about 40 cents
each and roes 20 cents to 50 cents each.
Herring continue very scarce and are SELL
ing at high prices for the season. The
dealers at the wharf are looking for an
increase in the catch early in the COM
ing week. and this means an increase in
the supply on sale at this city.
Some comment is being INDUCED in at
the wharf market At the unusually early
appearance of croakers on the market. A
quantity of these fish were in a shipment
to this city yesterday. having been caught
in the nets in the lower part of the bay
Thursday. 1t is said that croakers seldom
make their appearance until the spring
shad and herring fishing season Is over
and the fishermen are wondering If that
Is going to be true this year and that the
fishing season is over before 1T began on
the Potomac.

DRAwBR1DGE HUNG IN AIR.
Traffic to Anacostia Shut OFF for ar
Hour.

Many citizens of Anacostia and Con-
gress Heights. who We're hurrying TO
their homes after business hours yester-
day afternoon were detained for one
hour Ell route. When they reached the
Anacostia bridge they found that suburb
isolated from Washington, owing 10 the
fact that the draw in the center of the
new bridge was in the air and could not
be gotten down.
\ great many persons secured boats
and crossed the river, while others in
teams drove TO the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge and finally reached their homes
The street service across the bridge
was also suspended the cars on the
Washington side of the river switching
off and returning on the other track up
town.
Shortly before o'clock a tug approach
ed the bridge drawing several scows. The
dra wkeeper. Bernard Stoll, applied the
electric current which causes the bridge
TO part in the center. the two ends OF
the draw rising perpendicular in the air.
The ascent was perfect, but after the
boat, with it's tow. had passed under lie
bridge II was found that the electric ap-
paratus was out of order and the draw
would not close.
Electricians were summoned and sue
ceeded in repairing the fault and traf-
fic was resumed.

THEY NEED INSTRUCTION.
Individual Education Required By
Southern MountaineerS.

AN appeal to the nation for the ma
tons children was made by Myron T.
BLY, OF Rochester. N. Y. last night before
an audience at George Washington
University. Mr.. Bly, lectured I'M
der the auspices of the Southern Educa-
tional Association. which is asking aid
for the poorer class of mountaineers of
the Appalachian region. He was intro
duced by Chief Justice Shepard Of the
District Court of Appeals. who Is presi-
dent of the educational association
The lecturer described conditions under
which the mountaineers live. Mr. BLY,
briefly outlined the ancestry from which
these people have sprung. Some of the
families can be traced back to revolu-
t!onary times. Their children are the
real sons and daughters of the Ameri-
can revolution"
Mr.. BLY, told stories illustrating the
hard lives of the people Of the mountain
districts: and interspersed some of the
humor of the people with the sadder de-
tails of their existence. He declared the
great need of the poor whites" of that
section of the sOuth to be Industrial edu-
cation. They should be taught how crops
should be planted properly. Unless these
people are taught how to take care of
themselves they will eventually be swept
out of existence by better educated men,
who will some day turn to the mountain
districts for homes.
Chief Justice Shepard told what the
association Is doing toward establishing
schools and supporting teachers.
