TROUBLE FOR
MORE FISHERMEN
Eleven Men OfNear Townsend
Charged With Violating
Fishing Laws

Eleven fishermen, residents in the vicin-
ity of Townsend. will be arraigned before
Magistrate a. G. Cox, at Middletown. to-
morrow afternoon. on charges OF fishing
in the Noxentown mill pond with nets,
in violation of law.
Several men We're recently fined for a
similar offense by Magistrate Pyle in this
city.
The eleven defendants we're arrested by
Constable Dickerson. Of Middletown. and
Constable Jones Of this city.
The wholesale arrest of men accused Of
fishing with nets in the Noxentown pond
has caused considerable agitation among
the fishermen in that section OF the coun-
ty. Fishing with nets in still bodies Of
water is forbidden and because Of a mis-
understanding regarding the scope Of the
law many fishermen have been uninten-
tionable violators and It was said to-day
that other arrests might be made.
II appears that sometime ago the dam
structure broke. allowing tho water to re-
cede Since that time the stream had been
a tide water body. As fishing with nets In
tide waters is permissible fishermen near
Noxentown pond construed that the pond
was no longer a pond but a tide water
stream.
1t was said to-day that there has been
no fishing with nets in tho stream since
the first arrest ON March 1.

Providence
WILL RETURN TO
WASHINGTON TOMORROW

NEW YORK. March 22.--Six days
OF hard travelling, banquetting and
speech making have had their effect
on President Taft, and his smile was
less In evidence than usual when he
left his private car at Grand Central
station today to face a lengthy round
OF New York politics and New York
social functions.
The President. upon leaving his car
hurried to the home Of his brother
Henry W. Taft for breakfast lie re-
malned there during the morning,
resting up and occasionally receiving
local politician or two. "Tm"
Woodruff, chairman of the New York
Republican State Committee; Lloyd
c. Griscom, president Of the New York
County Committee were among the
callers. Mr.. TAFT. however. refrained
from discussing the rather strained sit
uatlon OF the Republican party in
this State. He has taken the attitude
that he ought not TO interfere in local
matters except in emergency and has
determined 10 keep out OF the New
York field as much as possible.
Henry W. Clews. father-in law OF
Representative Parsons entertained
the President az luncheon. Some po-
litical observers professed 10 see sig
nihcance in this fact, In view of the

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 22.--
With both sides hopelessly dead lock-
ed, negotiations looking TO a settlement
OF differences between the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Co. and its striking en-
ployes have been abandoned. and in
terest shifted 10 the possibility of the
calling of State wide strike by labor
leaders now gathered at Wilkesbarre.
Participants in the numerous peace"
conferences today declared themselves
as utterly disgusted, for they see no
way of breaking down the stand pat
and "hght-to the finish" attitude that
both sides have taken.
There were vague hints at the car
mems headquarters and political cir
cles today Of the possibility of Cover
nor Stuart intervening in the contro-
versy. The state executive, who left
for Harrisburg last night would not
commit himself. but seemed greatly
perturbed over the unsatisfactory ter
mination Of peace negotiations.
Labor leaders conducting the strik,
! here will meet with the presidents oi
all local unions this afternoon to de-
wise ways and means TO keep the sym.
pathetic strike here from breaking. Il
is declared there will be an attempt
by certain Of the leaders TO force 4
settlement upon the basis of the term'
offered by the company. The fight Il
declared TO have become complicated
