HARDY MARINER IN QUEST
OF PROTECTION TO
FISH INDUSTRY.

GLOUCESTER. MASS. April al
The hardy fishermen OF this fishing
town have found unexpected aid in
their efforts to induce Congress to pass
Legislation putting n ban on the actiyi-
ties OF the steam trHwler.
They do not hesitate to cali these
trawlers the menace OF American
fisheries.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt and Miss
Edith Deacon. with other society
leaders we'll known In New York,
Boston and Washington have now
come to the aid of the fishermen, and
will Go all they cap to forward their
cause.
The shippers are jubilant. Several
OF the young women were here when
the question was taken up by the Mas
ter Mariners Association and they
were all introduced to. the various
captains.
They heartily indersed action that
would lead to the abolition Of the
steam trawier.
Il heartily approve OF any course
that will lead to the preservation OF
the great industry of Gloucester"
Miss Deacon said when they had out
lined their plans.
In expressing a wish TO aid In the
work. Accordingly. after considera-
ton OF the matter 1t was decided that
Miss Deacon and Miss Roosevelt be
on the committee to secure relief
through proper legislation.
Not Modern Necessity.
Said one captain:
"Miss Deacon could not Just see
why the steam trawler 10 a modern

Gloucester's important industry and
the danger OF Its disappearance. to-
gethsr with the fact that the steam

the reasons. she said. why she would
join in our tight 1t was mighty fine
and It encouraged zach Of us to work
harder than ever In securing laws
that will prohibit the marketing OF
fish caught by trawlers."
Captain Henry Atwood, OF Glouces-

ing town. is another who Ii unstinted
In his praise OF Miss Deacon and Miss
Roosevelt.
We met the young women at re-
ception at Mr.. Andrews" said Cap
tain Atwood. and they were deeply
interested in the work OF preserving
our chief industry. When the situa-
ton had been explained to Miss
Deacon she said she believed that
summary action WAS needed IL the
fishing industry were to he preserved"
The natural sympathy Miss Deacon
shows In her attitude toward the fish

CONTEMPLATING A REPUTATION.

Game, the novelist, has written some big, II

Christian" the Eternal City," and the
"Scapegoat" are, most of them. the legitimate
children OF an ambitious brain. When such

We have no means of knowing what amount
Of money Mrs Hall Game collected for the
sixteen lines In which he commentaries him
self In sodden rhyme about the passing Of
the Titanic. He might better have put away
his pen for years than to have uttered them.
Contrasting with the dignity Of great trag-
edy the always dangerous exercise OF versif-
cation has a peculiar hazard. Mr.. Game per-
snatted himself the folly for gold Tainted

scribe such bargain.
Fine things may sometimes be written for
money Even then. literature sinks from pro-
fession to trade. But We doubt that anything
really true or worth while was ever written
to order. There 10 a certain code which gov

CLEAN BASEBALL NECESSARY.

II is> to be hoped that there will not be in
Virginia this year that element Of rough con-
duct in baseball which In former seasons has
sometimes brought discredt on the sport
When q game becomes such an institution that
the entire public is interested in it, as 1t is in
baseball. II comes to the point where 1t must
be regulated as everything is regulated IN
which the public has concern.
In New York where more people go to ball
games than is possible anywhere else In the
world. the season has Just brought to pass the
FIRST OF the dsgraceful scenes which serve to
revive the evil traditions OF baseball. In
contest with Brooklyn several New York
players. including the manager. were sus-
pended for umpire batting, and at the close
OF the game the Brooklyn manager and the
umpire engaged in fist fight which the
spectators promptly turned into riot

disorder. Those who do SO are OF course, in
the minority, but baseball has been made

more reason why baseball should be excepted
