Champ Clarks headquarters issues the
following:
With a majority over all in the num-
her of delegates so far elected and In
structed and pledged and with the GER
tainty that Speaker Clark will go into the
Baltimore convention with majority OF
the 1904 delegates. Fred T. Dubois. who
Is managing the Speakers campaign. is
confident that Mr. Clark will be chosen.
possibly on the first ballot. certainly on
the second zone. In the whole history
of democratic conventions there is but a
single instance wherein the candidate
who had a majority of delegates on any
ballot failed of nomination.
This was in the case of Martin Van
Furen. in 1874 when the democrats in
convention were more concerned in the
question of the annexation OF Texas than
in the nomination of a candidate The
growing strength of Speaker Clark very
naturally has had the effect of drawing
the fire of the supporters OF other candl-
dates against the Speaker, and claims
have been repeatedly made that many OF
the delegates instructed TO vote for Mr.
Clark's nomination will on the slightest
excuse desert his standard and cast their
votes for another man. Such claims. SEN
ator Dubois declares. are an admission
of weakness. and, what is more, an i'm
pugnment of the honesty and honor of
the men who have been chosen dele
gates and bound by Instructions to vote
for Clark"

This weeks weather has been enough
TO make an angle feel as II he should
look to some place other than the POto-
mac for sport remarked Grandfather
Hurley. as he stood on the bank of the
Potomac near the Chain bridge and looked
at the water.
There's one thing about it, he added.
1T looks as if all the mud from Mary
land Virginia and West Virginia has
come down and that there's no more to
come When the water does clear the
sport ought to be good enough TO pay
for all this waiting
Reports from the source to almost the
mouth of the river are to the effect that
the muddy condition of the river inter
feres with fishing. Anglers think, how
ever. that as soon as the water clears
they will be favored with the first run
of the big rockfish.
White perch fishing. it is believed, will
be good for two three weeks longer.
All that is wanted is favorable water.
Soft crabs are larger and more plentiful
and the price is low enough for anglers
TO use more freely.

Notwithstanding the severe rains and
the muddy waters. a number of anglers
have braved the conditions and taken
few perch and many Mississippi catfish
from the river. Most of the fishing this
week has been done from the shore and
the perch caught We're small, but some
large Mississippi catfish were caught.
Many anglers gave up rod and line fish
ing and snagsed herring and shad.
Maurice Collins was among those who
quit fishing early in the day when he
went to the vicinity of the Chain bridge
TO fish. and tried his luck snagging her
ring. IL was his first attempt at getting
herring with anything but silver bait.
And" he remarked when he returned
from the outing, never again will make
the attempt Six herring and a sore arm
didn't pay for the trouble
While local anglers are worrying over
water and weather conditions, a few of
them are having great sport with bass on
Lake Smith, near Norfolk. The season
at the lake opened Wednesday, while the
season in this section will not open until
May 20.
DIR. Charles S. White Is one of the local
enthusiasts who thinks Lake Smith is
one of the greatest fishing grounds in
the country. and he expects he viii try
his luck there before the season for
small-mouth bass fishing opens on the

The Taft bureau has given out the fol-
lowing statement:

answered out of his own mouth in the
following statement of fact:

President Roosevelt respecting requests
for a suspension of the order. president,
Roosevelt. in reply, directed that the or
der be executed.
Gen. Corbin made the following state
ment:
= OF course, the Brownsville affair is
going to be paraded in the campaign
19OS). Any credit or blame in that mat
ter cannot in any way be laid to Mr..
Taft. As matter of fact Mr.. Taft was
not In Washington at the time, but was
in the west on some important business
connected with the department. And right

the metropolis. and their showing at
tracted much attention.
Capt Billy Hettinger went in his launch
Wilmer to SoIomons Island last week. A
7 Schroth and Jack Taylor made the
trip with him and the ride on the PatuN-
ent river proved enjoyable The Wilmer
is kept at anchor at the bridge over the
Patuxent river at Mount Calvert, where
c. \. NJ. Wells and other sportsmen keep
their boats, and the trip to Benedict and
Solomons also is an enjoyable one
Last week the trio of anglers were de-
prived of the sport of fishing. The upper
end of the river. where perch are caught
at this season. was muddy and on the
lower river it was a trif1e early to catch
saltwater fish.
Saltwater fish have appeared in the
river and Chesapeake bay in the vicinity
earlier than usual. the anglers were told.
They are being caught in nets and 1t is
thought they will soon take bait
Squire" Keeling and Turnkey Sander
lin ventured out in an open boat at Ocean
for croakers. the "sauire's'' favorlte food.
1t was feared that it was rather early in
the season for the fish, but the enthu-
siasts were willing to make the trial
Eight DuSnelS or crOakerS were ldHueu
by the diginitaries of the law was the
report of the trip
Friends of the anglers failed to under
stand why they were neglected when so
many fish had been caught.
We only filled two baskets" was the
frank explanation.
1t is more than probable that number
of anglers will try their luck tomorrow
at Chesapeake Beach. The water in the
Potomac is so muddy that anglers expect
they will be able to catch only a few
small perch and catfish tomorrow, and
they are willing to make a trial where
they will find clear water.
Reports from Chesapeake Beach are
to the effect that thousands of rockfish
are being caught in the nets there.
THE bay is literally full of them" an
angler said yesterday, but so far as l
am informed none of the anglers has
tried his rod and line. I've been told
that it's worth while trying for them
and am advised that it would be well to
bring along some bloodworms."
While bloodworms are considered the
best bait for rockfsh. it is said that
shrimp are just as good. Shrimp are
caught in the creek at Chesapeake Beach
Jim Crupper took an afternoon off and

for Mrs. Straus for life, as well as the
use Of Mr.. Straus' residential property.
These requests will not be turned into the
residuary estate of Mr.. Straus, but will
be divided equitably among all his chill
dren. Mr.. Straus embodied this clause
in his will. which was dated December
30. 1909:
Il make no requests to charities, or
other than my immediate family, as I
have left directions to my sons in let
ter, which I know they will cry out"
Mr.. Wise said that in addition to the
check sent by the sons of Mr.. Straus to
the Educational Alliance. they have also
distributed the sum of $4,000 among
certain philanthropies in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Straus were especially interested.
the sum given to each institution being
in each instance an approximate capitah-
zation of the joint annual contributions
OF their father and mother to the same.
Mr.. Wise did not disclose the names OF
these philanthropies.
The will names Mr.. Straus' three sons
and his brother, Nathan, as executors
and trustees, and creates a trust fund
of 100000 for each of the testator's
