He was detained in the street for
awhile by a Democrat deputized as

DEMOCRAT FAILS TO
BLOCK TITUS VOTE

When John Titus, clerk in the
Office OF Harry A. Brown. went to vote
in the Shellpot district Of Brandywine
hundred this morning. he was chal-
lenged. The Democratic challenger
did not object to the vote until Howell
s. England, the Democratic clerk,
called the challenger to object TO Mr..
Titus on the ground of non-residence.
Mr.. Titus drew attention TO the
fact that he had registered in the dis
trict and had not changed his resi-
dence since registration. He owns
house in the district, and when he
rented the property he placed in the
lease clause that one room should be
retained for his use at all times he
desired 20 use IT, Accordingly he re-
tanned his residence there and regis
tered in the district and no appeal was
taken.
rhe election officers decided that
under the law Mr. Titus was entitled
to vote, and his vote was accepted.

Two-fhirds of the Vote in
the Box in Some Dis
fricfs at Noon---78 Men
Vote Within an Hour in
Fifth Ward.

Except for the clusters of men gath
cred at respectable distance from
the polling places about the city, there
were few outward indications this
morning that one of the most import
ant Presidential and State elections
ever held was ia progress. Every
thing was quiet about the streets, the
only scmblancc 20 excitement aside
from some trouble at Fourth and Pine
streets, being in the knots OF political
workers scurrying about the polling
places
State Chairman Edmund Mitchell,
Of the Republican organization, at
noon stated that so far as he knew
there had been no trouble. although
he had heard OF some Democratic in
timidation tactics at the polling place
at Fourth and Pine streets. Mr.. Mitch
ell said that he had received no re-
ports from down the State and did not
expect any unless there was serious
trouble
Mr. Mitchell said that from tho re-
ports that had come in to the State
Committee yesterday he expected a
full Republican sweep for the State Of
ficef and in each county. and also be-
lieved the Republicans will control
each branch OF the Legislature. While
the Allee-Houston Progressive ticket
vote will be determining factor.
Chairman Mitchell did not believe
they would poll enough votes to de-
feat Charles r. Miller for Governor
or the remainder OF the Republican
State ticket
Practically every voting place in
the city was ready for business by
100 O'Clock this .lorning, although
the ballots had not arrived AZ some
Of the districts at that hour but were
delivered shortly afterward.
The way the voters rushed to the
polls this morning astonished the
party workers. of whom the Republi-

polls all morning. Never before has

influence more detrimental to fish than
the firing OF large guns. and that even
SO peaceful an event as a naval review
was yet fraught with heavy losses to the
fishermen. 1t was stated that the fish
have been almost exterminated In one OF
the large bays of Ireland since the battle
ships have had their target practice there.
In America a number of similar incidents
have been noted. A few years ago the
American fleet came up the Chesapeake
bay and made its headquarters off Tan
gier Islanu, in the center Of the menhaden
industry.
The fishermen would find a school of
fish anywhere within ten miles of the
island, and one of the big guns would be
fired and the fish would Immediately dis
appear and the days work be lost to the
fishermen. 1t is claimed that by the
fleet remaining there few weeks the
state of Virginia lost over 100000. and
a number Of fishing firms were bankrupt
ed. The result was a petition to Con-
gress and the removal Of the fleet. but
the same thing has been noticed in many
parts of the world and is becoming recog-
nized as a menace to the fishing industry.
In Bermuda serious losses have been Sus
tanned by the death of whole schools OF
fish as the result Of explosives fired from
has become greatly diminished along GER
tain parts of the coasts of Spain and
Italy from the same causes.
The Importance Of fish conservation is
thus becoming well recognized by each OF
the nations. The tendency of an indus
try to injure the fish life of the waters
near which it is to be located has now
been considered important enough to
warrant considerable legal restriction.
In this country most of the states having
fishing territory have had some legisla-
tive action regarding it. In a number of
places print factories and dye works had
been accustomed to empty refuse dye solu-
tions into the streams. At first this did
not noticeably affect the fish. as they
are less susceptible to some posons than
other animals, but gradually it was found
that the native fish We're disappearing,
even though fewer were caught than for
merly. The prohibition of the pollution
of the waters has been found a means
of increasing the number of fish.

GIVING IN MARRIAGE.
BY WALT MASON.
BY WALT MASON.

II hear that old Clinkenbeard is going
to marry Mrs. Sulphur said the drug
gist, with disgust written upon his classic
features. 1.-The two of them ought to be
shot. They're in the sere and yellow
leaf, and should be getting their respec-
tive houses in order. instead of chasing
around for marriage licenses. They both
have grown sons and daughters. and
those children are naturally angry"
"All the world loves a lover-when the
lover is young and is contemplating his
first experience in matrimony," remarked
the assessor. but the world hasn't much
respect or sympathy for the aged pelican
who goes around looking for a mate.
Marriage without romance is a CHASTITY
thing, and somehow everybody feels sore
when such nuptials those of Clinken-
beard and Mrs Sulphur are announced
They'll have the gayest old charivari that
ever happened in this town. Already the
demand for cowbells tin horns and other
instruments of torture exceeds the sup
ply
1T will serve the merrymakers lust
right il old Clinkenbeard Acknowledges
the entertainment they are putting UP by
emptying shotgun among them.'' said
the village patriarch. Il know that peo-
chases blushing bride to the altar, but
it isn't fair or sensible. 1 think Clinken-
b4ard and Mrs. Sulphur are wise. They
have probably a few years ahead of them.
AID they can spend those years in such
comfort as they'd never know under pres
emf conditions
''Clinkenbeard has several sons and
daughters They are all married and have
their families. He helped them out quite
literally VIXEN they set up housekeeping.
He has been visiting around among them
ever since his wife died, and ! suppose
he's welcome after a fashion. They don
begrudge him his place at the feed rack
or his couch in the attic, but they can't
help feeling that he's a superffuous Old
gent, and that it would eb true courtesy
on his part to fall off the earth at once
and allow them to divide his assets.
That's human nature, my friends. When
a man is married and has a wife and
children around him an aged parent in
the inglenook becomes a sort of fifth
wheel to a wagon: and the aged parent
himself has a wretched time. The chill
dren play tricks him and set fire to
his whiskers when he is taking nap and
if he scolds them their mother jumps on
him with botH feet and let's him know
where he gets off.
mo matter how kind his children and
grandchildren may be, the aged parent
has a tough time. Before his household
was broken up he was in authority. He
laid down the laws and his counsel and
