That opposition will be made to the
passage Of the Owen bill establishing a
United States public health service. in
which are to be included the health bu-
reaus OF the government with extensions.
when the bill comes up for consideration
in the Senate, was indicated yesterday.
Senator Jones had read In the Senate
several kilograms he had received raising
strenuous objections to the bill. Senator
Owen. its author. sought to find how Sem
ator Jones himself stood on the matter.
Mr.. Jones would simply say that he was
studying It.
Does the senator (republican) remem-
Der what the last republican national
platform had to say regarding a national
department OF health?" Senator Owen
flashed back.

his opposition to the measure.
Opposition Of Christian Scientists.

1t has been said that the opposition
to this measure has come from the pat
emit medicine manufacturers. and that
some others have innocently taken up
their fight" Mr.. Works remarked. THAT
has been maliciously stated in some
quarters. I know that the League OF
Medical Freedom, which has been OPP
posing 1t. Is free from the patent medi-
cine men and has refused contributions
from them"
Such legislation, he went on to say, Is
directed at the Christian Scientists.
among others. And the Scientists, he
said. are opposing 1t in good faith.
Senator Smoot announced that he would
propose q substitute for the Owen bill.
His substitute. now embodied in q bill
which. he introduced some weeks ago.
simply provides for the combining Of the
present health services and bureaus under
the Treasury Department, under the gen.
eral direction OF an assistant secretary
OF the Treasury. and. he said, will require
only two moro employees beyond those al

FISH ARE PLENTIFUL.
Catches at Mouth Of River Keeping
City Well SUPPLIED

While the big haul seine shores on the
river below Fort Washington are making
but small catches the run boats coming
from the nets in the mouth of the river
are bringing up both shad and herring
in good quantities. and it now looks as II
the present fishing season, judging by the
receipts. will be one Of the most sue
cessful in recent years. The total receipts
from all sources yesterday were about
10000 herring and 1000 shad. Of which
less than q quarter came from the near
by nets.
The catch in the upper river is expected
to increase in q few days, particularly in
herring. and 1t will be the latter part of
the month before the season can be said
to be In full swing. Then the lighter
from Fairy Landing should arrive here
twice daily with many thousands Of the
fish aboard. The packing houses on the
wharf are busily engaged In packing shad
and herring, particularly the latter. for
the winter trade, and each day from ten to
twenty thousand herring are prepared for
the sailing tables.

COL. DEEMS ON SCHOOL BOARD.
Baltimore Appointment Recalls
Trouble at Fort Howard.

Col Clarence Deems. U. s. A., retired.
formerly In command Of the artillery dis
trict Of Baltimore. has been appointed q
member Of the public school board Of
Baltimore to all q vacancy.
Col Deems had considerable trouble at
Fort Howard. Nd. because Of his dog
Riley, which had quite a reputation at
the fort. This dog. or rather the fleas on
the dog. led to friction between the COM
manding officer and Capt. Arthur w.
Chase. who was also stationed at Fort
Howard.
The presence Of the dog Riley in the
post hack. in which ladies and gentle-
men rode, resulted In q court-marfial for
Capt. Chase Col Deems charged
him with ''disrespectful conduct" which
involved characterization. Capt. Chase
was found guilty by the court, which
recommended that he lose Ave numbers
In his Official rating.
TnS late Gen. Frederick Dent Grant.
then commanding the Department Of the
East. reduced the sentence to the loss Of
three numbers
Because OF the feeling between Col
Deems and Capt Chase the War Depart
ment Transferred the colonel to Fort
Hancock, where he remained until his sre-
tirement. Capt. Chase was sent to the
Philippines and has since been promoted
to major.

WHAT'S IN A
NAME, IS
+, THE QUESTION
STEALCOALSKI LIVES
UP TO HER NAME; COURT
FREES HER
1By Assoolated press.l

New York. July 16.-lWhat's in
name? That question is as old al
Damascus. They have been asking
it since the time that NIoah's ark
was the only houseboat that had 9
license to cruise in any of the
seventy-seven seas that were sup.
posed to be on the map at that
time. II the tale that Mary Steal
coalski told Magistrate McQuade in
Yorksville police court today means
anything there is everything in a
name. The story of this weeping
willow, who got started on the
wrong foot in her infancy, is one
that should he considered by persons
who are indiscriminate in the ap-
preparation of names.
Mary Stealcoatslli, as fine young
woman as the gas house social set
can put forth, sinned yesterday. She
fractured commandment and it
landed her in the police station for
her offense and in police court today
for trial
And what do you suppose Mary
Stealcoalski did? She stole coal.
Mary Stealcoal-ski stole coal. Did
Mary Steal -coalsh mean to steal
coal? Not any of those in court
thought so.
1T is the terrible name that cast
this blight over my life" sobbed
Mary Stealcoalski.
Then you have stolen coal before,
Mary?' asked the magistrate, not
unkindly.
Policeman Brannigan, who arrest
ed Alary, spoke for her. 'FShe has
been stealing coal down on the
water front ever since | knew her,
spoke up Brannigan, "and she
doesn't limit her thefts to any kind
of coal"
But, judge" said the prisoner,
you see, | came into this world
with this name. When | was kid
the other kids in the neighborhood
used to say that | would fall and
trip over my name il | tried to run.
They say there's nothing in name,
your honor, bslt you can take it from
me that there is"
Il think you have been perma-
nently punished with such a name,
said Magistrate NrcQuade, as he
sent Mary out of court a free wom
an, with the warning that the name
must live itself down.
