WAS MAKING"
Interest Increase In ths
Evening New Contest.

The missing word in the EVENING
NEWS word contest last week was
making" and was left out Of the
seventh line of the advertisement of
Fishkin Brothers. The line should
have read making women's suits
and gowns" The advertisements
mentioned In the answers were:
Fishkin Brothers, Dobb's millinery,
Henry Levinson, Pavlovsky Broth
ers, Nathan Roth, Alfred Johnson
and Trainers Business College.
Within the past week interest has
grown considerably in this contest.
More replies than ever were re-
ceived, showing that new contest
ants had started. 1t is not too late
at this time to start in the weekly
search for the missing word" Con-
testants should, therefore, not be-
come discouraged. There are nine
weeks more. 1t is even possible that
persons starting To- may yet win a
part of the prize money.
Each week has brought In renewed
efforts in the competition and the
past week has been a record breaker
in that direction. Persons engaged
in the contest are leading each other
a merry chase. Every week there
are correct answers, but hundreds of
the replies mention advertisements
other than the right one.

SCHOOLS OF
SHAD IN LOWER BAY

True to their migratory instincts
which leads them to disappear in the
deep sea during the winter months
and to reappear in the early spring
to ascend the fresh water streams,
immense schools of shad have arrived
in the lower bay. Abraham Hay
penny of Giffords, S. l., caught seven
off Oakland Beach, Staten Island,
yesterday, and the total weight Of the
catch was ffty-six pounds, or an
average weight of eight pounds each.
There are thousands Of Hudson
river shad along the shores Of Staten
Island" said Jacob Sauer, a hotel
proprietor, at Giffords, Staten Island,
when told of the catch made by Mr..
Haypenny, but fishermen are maxi
ing no effort to trap them. Mr.. Hay
penny was the only man in this Sec
ton who had nets out last year, and
he-had a most profitable season. He
has been unable to place his nets
this year because of u~nfayorable
weather conditions. Within the last
few days, however, he has caught
twenty fine shad with a hook and
line"

POLITICIANS
OPPOSE BILL
Commission Form of Govern

Especial Correspondence

Trenton, April 8-That there is a
lot of opposition to the bills probid-
ing for a commission form OF gov
eminent Is evident from the action
of certain Assemblymen in their eff
forts to kill the bill introduced by
Assemblyma1 Walsh, of Mercer. 1t
is plain that some of the machine
politicians In the big counties are
fearful that the passage Of the bill
would destroy their power, and, per
chance, their opportunities for graft.

The bill of Assemblyman Walsh
is In fair way to be amended In a
manner that will not be pleasing to
the advocates Of the commission form
of government. On the motion of
Assemblyman Griffin, Of Hudson, the
bill will lie over, and unless Mr..
Walsh can rally some more votes to
his aid his bill Is in fair way to be
beaten.
Advocates of the commission form
of government in the different cities
will find that there will be no legis.
1ation of that sort this year, unless
they can bring enough pressure to
bear upon the Assemblymen to get
favorable action upon Mr.. Walsh's
bill.

RED TAPE IN PARIS.
Problems Involved in Disposing of
Load Of Cement.
P.z,s corlespondence london standsrd.

During the recent floods a large stock
ot cement, worth s24O0, that lay on the
hanks At Auteuil was swamped and con-
verted into, solid blocks that would re-
uuire the pickax to dislodge
The owner thought that at least he
might save the octroi dues he had paid
administration. which answered: Ger
taiuly. You paid on bringing your cement
into Paris. and IL you take il out you have
only TO present your certificate at the
foYti1ca tons. There. when il is proved
hat you have taken II out. YOU will be
rehn bur sed." But the cost OF taking il
away would be much greater than the
due0.' so much the worse for you but
there Is nothing else TO be DONE
The unfortunate man returned TO view
Ms loss and noticed that on the spot n
band OF navv1es was busy filing up a
great hole I'm the ground thought
struck him, and he repaired again to the
authorities and said: Take my cement
and fill up your hole II will save you the
cost of bringing in earth and me the cost
of taking away my cement. and it will
make much better stuffinR." But again
anne the reply: Quite IMPOSSIBLE. The
contract expressly says that the hole
has 10 be filled with earth. No power on
earth can authorize the filing OF Ii with
cement
And 30 the taxpayers have 10 bear the
expense of bringing in carloads Of earth
from outside Paris. while a mountain OF
solid sacks of cement blocks the river
bank because the contract declares that
earth must be used instead of better ce-
ment ready TO hand on the spot. Com
ment is dumb before such absurdities.
