BRANDYWINE
FISH DYING
Dead Fish Float on Top Of
Water in all Parts Of
Stream

The fish of the Brandywine. bass,
suckers and fall fish, are dying by
the hundreds along the stream from
some unknown cause and unless the
fish wardens locates the trouble these
fish in these waters. as far north as
Valley, and perhaps further. will be
exterminated.
Brakemen and others connected
with the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad. who go along the stream on
their cars every day, many times a
day. have noticed not only suckers but
large bass as well floating on top of
the water. These men. most Of them
fishermen, are commenting ,on the
fact Of the dead fish in profusion and
state that there is something besides
the hot weather responsible for their
death There are many things to kill
fish, and years. ago when the dye mills
were in operation along the creek,
many dead fish were noticed For the
past few years this has not been a re-
marked note. and the fact of the dye
mills having been closed down, gives
rise to the belief that the fish might
be killed by dynamiting or other il
legal fishing in the stream above and
that the fish the next day after the
night fishing with dynamite float on
top of the stream with the tide down
the creek.

The CABINET
President May Appoint An
other Progressive in His
Official Family
ANOTHER RESIGNATION
EXPECTED In NEAR FUTURE
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The res
ignation of another member of Presi-
dent Tafts Cabinet within the near
future to make way for a more pro-
gressive man of the Fisher or Slim
son type was predicted by insurgent
leaders today.
The belief was expressed privately
that the President had reached the
conclusion that his political status
would be improved by the addition of
another progressive to his official
family. The new conner is expected to
replace one of the more conservative
members-possibly Secretary Of State
Knox or Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh.
1t is said that Knox's dollar dip
lomacy9 will be made target for
the Democratic sharpshooters in the
coming campaign. MacVeagh's res
ignation has been rumored repeated
ly, but consistently denied. It is said
that he wishes to give his attention
to his big personal interests. Another
report Is that Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor Nagel may retire. He gave
up a lucrative practice of law in
st. Louis and is said to have sus-
tanned a heavy personal loss through
his service in the cabinet
Coincidentally, it is said that Presi-
dent has taken a new political ad-
wiser in Secretary of the Interior
Fisher. who favors a course calculat-
ed TO win support of all, but the more
radical progressives. It is said that
Fisher was largely responsible for
the appointment of Stimson.
