HOOKED HIM 1HROUGH NOSE
SMALL BOY MAKES BIGGEST
CATCH OF THE SEASON.
But His Prize Was Fellow-Fisher-
man, Mr.. Kuttner, and a
Mighty Fast Runner.

A small, red-headed, barefooted urchin
sat fishing from the wall OF the tidal
basin yesterday afternoon and, without
eval trying. made the biggest catch Of the
season. The catch weighed 80 pounds
and was judged by competent experts to
be about thirty-eight years old. The
catch was. strange to say. hooked through
the nose, having apparently made no ef-
fort to grab for the bait. His name is
Joseph p. Kuttner and his home is at
PIP 10th street southeast. 1t took all
the skill of the Emergency Hospital sur
geons to get him off the young fisher
mans hook.
Kuttner gathered his fishing tackle to-
gether early yesterday afternoon, laid
in a liberal supply of bait and ;hied him
blithely to the basin for a merry after
moons fishing. His hopes for nice
catch of bass ran high. He picked out a
likely looking spot on the stonewaIl and
made his cast Soon small boy came
along and took up his position beside
Kuttner. Either the boy was overanxious
or his nerves We're on edge he just
naturally possessed the impulsive, artistic
temperament.
Anyhow he had been angling but a lit
tie while when he thought he had some
thing. This boy was no expert He knew
nothing of that deft and gentle prelim-
get a. firm grip on their catch. Grabbing
the pole with both hands the Titan
haired youth laid back OH it with heft
that would have pried shark loose from
his Watery home.
Mr.. Kuttner Was Surprised.
No fish responded to that powerful pull.
but glistening. baitless hook did. 1t came
hurtling through the air in the direction
of Mr.. kuttner and. with fiendish accu-
racy. imbedded itself firmly in that gen
tleman's proboscis. Mr.. Kuttner said
afterward that he was surprised.
His first impulse was, naturally, to kick
the red-headed boy far out into the
basin as the strength of his trusty right
leg would let him. But the feeting
thought of his own nose soon forced Mr..
Kuttners ire into the background. He
fumbled in his pockets for knife, cut the
line that held the hook, left his tackle in
the care of the boy whose murder he had
contemplated moment before
and I,nceremoniously beat it for the Emer-
gency Hospital.
Proved Himself Sprinter.
AS the crow flies the distance from
where Mr.. Kuttner was fishing to the
Emergency Hospital is about mile. Few
crows ever flew straight and none ever
flew as fast as Mr. Kuttner ran. He paid
no more attention to Keep or the
Grass" signs than boy-pursued alley cat
does to ten-foot board fence. Three
park policeman and a bicycle cop sighted
kuttner as he passed them, but it was a
case Of here he comes-there he goes,'
for before they could catch breath Mr.
Kuttner was out of earshot and gaining
speed at every jump.
At the hospital he was attended to with
care as soon as the surgeons and nurses
could control their laughter. Mr.. Kutt-
ner did smile once after the hook had
been removed from his nose, but the
smile soon came off as he remembered the
red haired boy He sent a friend after
his deserted fishing tackle. gave up his
afternoons sport and went home.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, September II. 1909
Capt. William p. Kent of Wythe, the
republican nominee for governor, is al
ready prepared to go on the stump and
to boost the claims of the party for the
control of the affairs Of the state for
four years, beginning February /, 1910
He has given out a statement, in which
he contends that the delay in receiving
and canvassing the returns of the pri-
mary of the democrats was due to the
padding Of the returns. The first in
forma ton received from the primary was
that the total vote cast would not exceed
g., 600, yet when the official figures were
disclosed it was found that 5000 per-
sons had participated in tile contest.
Capt. Kent inclines to the belief that
the vote was not al all satisfactory to
the party management, and that there
are many thousands of voters who held
please in the election this fall. He also
believes that the republicans will get the
bulk of the disgruntled element, many of
whom are declaring that they will not
under any circumstances vote for Judge
Mann because of his prohibition views.
On the other hand, there is a deter
mined effort to elect Judge Mann on the
part of many of the whisky men of the
be taken out of the senate and will not
be in a position to do nearly SO much
hurt to the liquor traffic while governor
as he has done since he has been a
member Of the senate.
Republicans Are Sanguine.
While Chairman Ellyson is apparently
certain that the democrats will elect
Judge Mann. there Is no Disgusting the
fact that the republicans are more san
guine at this time than they have been
in years, and that they are at work per-
fecting an organization and preparing to
wage an active speaking campaign. They
will have all the local talent on the
hustings, and Chairman Slemp is assured
that many OF the foremost members OF
the lower branch of Congress will come
to his aid and make number Of speech
es in behalf Of the republicans.
II Capt. Kent and his colleagues on the
ticket should be elected they would go
into office and find that they have their
hands tied for at least two years, for the
senate is hold-over body, and OF the
forty members thirty-flve are democrats
All the members Of the house are to be
elected this fall. and while the repub-
licans are hopeful of increasing their
membership in that body, it is not be-
lieved they will do very much in that
respect and 1t is doubtful If they do
better than retain their membership OF
fifteen.
