100000 Trout Caught.

More than half a million trout
were caught in the streams Of Penn
sylvania during the season OF 1911,
according to an estimate made by
William +. Meehan, State Commis-
sioner OF Fisheries. This figure is
based upon returns made to the COM
missioner from clubs affiliated with
the United Sportsmen Of Pennsyl-
vania and by individual fishermen,
together with observations made by
Mr.. Meehan and his wardens. This
catch, the commissioner said, would
amount to about 100000 pounds, or
$4,000 in value, and should go far
toward disproving the statements
made and printed that trout fishing
is declining in Pennsylvania and
the streams are being "ished out"
The returns made came from TWEEN
ty-six clubs, whose officers reported
that 1,345 of their members caught
1902 trout in 1914 streams. Ten
other clubs reported inability to get
accurate data. In addition 3S7 per-
sons reported the catch of 1850 trout
in forty streams, so that 1882 people
took 1852 trout from 239 streams,
enabling estimates of the total catch
to be made.

First List OF Private Banks.

State Banking Commissioner Will
liam H. Smith is compiling what will
be the first complete list of the pri-
vate banks ever made in this State.
1t will embrace every kind of bank
that receives deposits, and the num-
Der is expected to be surprising. The
information is being gathered for the
enforcement of the new State law
regulating banking by concerns not
under State supervision, which will
be in the hands Of a State board
which will organize under the terms
of the Alter law before the first Of
December. The work OF Mr.. Smith
will be of Importance, because the
larger cities of the State have numer-
Gus banks which make business OF
handling the money of foreigners and
they have never been under State
supervision, to the occasional misfor-
tune of many depositors. Mr.. Smith,
who was formerly a newspaper man
and later a bank examiner, has given
the gathering of information about
private banks, especially those man
aged by foreigners, personal atten-
ton and the results bid fair to be
interesting. 1t is stated that less
than one hundred private banks are
taxed by the State, more than four
times that many being officially un-
known, although having large de-
posits.

NEED MORE MONEY.
Plans With Reference TO Work on
the Wrecked Maine.

Washington.-As much of the
wrecked battleship Maine as the
available funds will permit, will be
removed or prepared for removal
from Havana Harbor, it was made
known Tuesday, and then the NAM
moth cofferdam surrounding the
ruins will be refilled with water to
await an additional appropriation by
Congress to finish the raising opera
tions. Congress failed to act upon
the Presidents request for an addi-
tional $25O,000 and the War Depart
ment has mapped out its plans for
the expenditure of the money on
hand, which probably will be ex-
hausted by the time Congress con-
venes in December.
Because of the lack of funds, even
! funeral services over the recovered
remains of the dead and the erection
in Arlington National Cemetery Of
the mast of the Inflated vessel as a
monument to them must be post
poned The remains and the mast
will be sent to the cemetery to be
stored there until Congress acts.
The terribly wrecked forward part
of the vessel, or about two-thirds Of
It. will be cut down to the level al
ready reached by pumpage, then
taken out and dumped into deep
water outside Havana Harbor.

A F|VE.YEAR MAN
HUNT IS ENDED
Negro and Wife Arrested on
COunterfeiting Charge.
COINS AND OUTFIT CAPTURED
Bogus Silver Dollars Were Mos'
Dangerous In the History OF
the Government--Causht
Mar Memphis

Washington. A wavering red
line. struggling across street map OF
the city of Memphis, on the wall at
secret service headquarters here, re-
cords the story of a five-years hunt
for a counterfeiter of silver dollars,
which reached its climax in Memphis
with the arrest of John G. Payne,
negro, and his wife.
For more than five years the dol
lars, which Payne is charged with
making, have been passing through
banks in Memphis and some have
even reached the subtreasuries. They
were accounted among the most dan
gerous counterfeit money with which
the government has had to deal. All
the resources of the secret service
failed to turn up a clue as to their
source.
Three months ago, Assistant
Chief w. H. Moran, the governments
crack man on difficult cases, sent Bill
Nye, also one of the flower of the
service, to Memphis. A few weeks
later at a negro emancipation cele-
bration at Paducah, Nye picked up
the first information which led to the
Identification of Payne as the man
alleged to have been passing the dan
gerous coins Nye followed Payne
back to Memphis, consulted with
Moran and the two men laid out a
campaign.
Then almost inch by inch Nye be-
gan picking a trail through the
streets of Memphis to Payne's house.
Every day Moran in Washington with
a pen and red ink, recorded the prog
ress of Nye's search upon map OF
the city of Memphis. A few days
ago the thin red line came to an end
in the suburbs of Memphis, eight
miles from the heart of the city. 1t
stopped in front OF an isolated farm
house, surrounded by a high board
fence, which made 1t impossible for
Nye to see in the windows.
Moran flashed a message over the
wires to Memphis and few hours
later Nye reported the arrest OF
Payne and his wife, as well as his
capture of several of the counterfeit
coins, the outfit for making them and
the genuine dollars from which the
moulds were made.
On the counterfeits have been
peculiar little dents and scratches
Nye reported that he found them in
the genuine coins he took in the raid
Moran says that proves that the
moulds from which the counterfeit'
were made were so perfect that they
even reproduced the scratches anC
hicks of the genuine coins.

An Official OF the company says
that the only element OF doubt as to
the general effect of reorganization

the ability of the constituent COM
panies, operating independently, to
produce as large total OF profits as
has been possible under the present
form of management. AS to whether
this can be done, he said, only the

new NAVAL AEROPLANE GUN
Experiments That Bode III to Mill
tary Aviators-- Airships for
Scouting Only.

WashiD gton. - The encouraging
initial pei formance OF the new naval
aeroplane gun has created much gos-
sip among officers of the Navy as TO
the promising possibilities OF the new
weapon. The consensus OF opinion
Of the naval ordnance experts Is that
the problem of finding a means to
repel an attack by a squadron OF
aeroplanes or to destroy a scouting
airship is close to solution by the
American Navy.
While the new gun can be fired
from any angle in the half circle, 1t
is the general belief that 1t will never
be aimed at 80 degrees or In a per-
pendcular position, for the reason
that the shell might return to the
deck of the naval vessel, probably un-
exploded, working the destruction In
tended for an enemy. The angles
of firing, it is said, will likely range
from so to So degrees.
The strenuous efforts which are
being made to perfect an instrument
OF war capable of demolishing an air
ship, II was pointed out, demonstrat-
ed the seriousness with which the
possibilities of the aeroplane in any
future conflict is regarded by naval
experts Many American officers still
cling to the belief that its mission in
warfare will be confined largely to
scouting purposes. But even this,
they admit, is of tremendous import
ance. The scout cruisers, the "eyes
Of navy" by the utilization OF aero
planes which could be sent aloft from
their decks at any moment, could In
crease their radius by hundreds OF
miles. Few believe that the airship
will ever be resolved into an attack
ing force.
With the carriage Of the new gun
perfected, the ordnance officers are
now engaged in designing an ade-
quate sighting apparatus. They look
upon the problem optimlstically and
believe that this feature will shortly
be solved.
