n uRlNG the last fiscal year more
II fish and fish eggs were distributed
by the bureau of fisheries of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor in
Washington than ever before in its
history. For the first time the total
OF fish and eggs distributed passed
the three billion mark. The exact
number was 3,117,3O1,525.
Last year the total amount of the
distribution was 2.S71,456,2SO, and al
though Commissioner George NJ
Bowers suggested early in the year
that he hoped to pass the three BIZ
lion mark, small hope was entertained
that he would be able To do it.
In addition to the increased distribu-
ton, a careful estimate has shown
that the cost Of distribution has been
reduced to about $152 a million of fish
and eggs distributed, which is lower
average est than has ever before
been attained The cost during the
previous fiscal year was $16O.25. In
1907 it was s172.2s. 1906 s216.SO.
When the bureau was established.
In 1904, the cost of distribution was
$403.51 million. while in 1897, the
year before Commissioners Bowers
took charge of the work. the annual

Calhoun Defense Objects to Testi.
mOny of Former Detective,
Seuth Says He Was Hired to Watch
Prosecution and Report any In
formation Gained-Testimony In
uolves Names of Several Identi-
fled With Defense.

San Francisco, May 2O.-Into the
trial of Patrick Calhoun, president of
the United Railroads, there was inject
ed late yesterday an extraordinary
chapter dealing with the uses and
methods of detectives. John Helms,
at one time the head of a private de-
tective bureau in this city, narrated in
detail, as witness for the prosecution,
the secrets he claims to have learned
during his term of employment as an
agent of the United Railroads. His
testimony, which relates to an early
period in the history of the graft pros
ecution, already involves the names of
several persons more or less prominent
ly identified with the defense, and
there is a promise of more revelations
when he resumes the stand today.
Helms had scarcely started his mar
ration when there ensuedll legal
wrangle that has had no parallel in the
five months that have elapsed since the
trial was commenced. Five of the de-
fendant's attorneys protested against
the admission of Helms testimony and
counsel on both sides, with flushed
faces and voices raised to an angry
pitch, were engaged in a legal battle
that was waged for nearly an hour.
Judge William P. Lawlor finally ad-
mitted the evidence.
Helms testified thathe had come to
this city in response to a request by
Attorney Louis Hoeffier early in May,
1907, at which time the first trial of
TREY l.. Ford, counsel for the United
Railroads, had been commenced. Mr..
Hoeffler, he said, instructed him to
watch everything done by the prosecu
tion and report the information so
gathered. Assistant District Attorney
Francis j. Heney attempted to learn
what persons were shadowed by Helms,
but the court sustained an objection.
