PARK LAKES OFFER
EXCELLENT FIELD
FOR BASS FISHING
Disciples of Isaak Walton Find
Great Sport in Weequahic
and Branch Brook.

Few people realize what excellent
fishing grounds have been developed In
Weequahic and Branch Brook Park
lakes within the last two years. Resi-
dents of the southern section of the
city in the near vicinity of the Wee
quahic Park lake have developed great
interest In the sport, and the same is
the case in the northern section.
Bass in large numbers have been
taken from the lakes. In Weequahic
lake many. cells, catfish n perch are
also found, and during the last year
many of these were caught. The hours
for fishing have been from 5 o'clock in
the morning until 6 at night. For
pleasure boating the hours are extended
until IL p. M. The parks have been
thoroughly policed and the fact that
all the officers on guard there are ex-
pert swimmers has resulted in the saw
ing of many lives. The season has
been the best in the history of the
park lakes in respect to popularity and
use,
Branch Brook Park has an aggregate
of 100 boats. thirty-five of which are
devoted to fishinD In Weequahic Park
there are fifty-tNo boats, and on many
occasions this number was found hard
ly sufficient to meet the demand SAT-
urday half-holidays were the most pop
ular days on the park lakes. At Wee
quahic 1t was a rare Saturday when
all of the fishing boats were not used.
At the lax it was said today that
there we're many men and women who
throughout the whole of the season just
closed were regular patrons" One of
these lovers of angling made the rec
ord of the park. when his total catch
of bass during the season was found
to be $50. A rough estimate of the
number caught may be formed when
it is considered that there were many
others whose total catch mounte to
more thar LOO.
The equipment this year at Wee
quahic, although insufficient, was in
creased over last years by twenty
boats.

HIGH FINANCE in KORNIT
FIRM DISCLOSED BY QUIZ.
Ellis Sold His Own, Stock In-
stead of Treasury Supply.

While the investigation so far into
the affairs of the defunct Kornit Manu-
featuring Company, at the instigation
of the receiver, has made scant head
way in ~unravelling the tangle it has
resulted in the disclosure of methods
of high finance and stock manipulation
practised. These disclosures have been
the company.
Charles E. Ellis, president of the
company, has been on the stand three
times, and while he has been a cautious
witness, one point of primary impor-
lance has peer established: This is that
Ellis disposed of his own stock to buy
ers who believed they were receiving
stock direct from the company; and
that he did this because he needed
the money This is the only explana-
ton Ellis has offered in the face of
his statement that he believed Kornit
to be a good thing n had always SO
considered it. To find out why he need
ed money. and where the kornit funds
went, has been a difficult task, and
not much progress has yet been made
one of the interesting facts brought
ont in the examination of Sigmund
pisinger, treasurer of the company, yes
