Receipts Heavier Yesterday Than at
Any Time This Season.

The receipts Of shad and herring from
all sources were heavier yesterday than
they have been any day this spring, and
the dealers at the wharf arc expecting
the receipts to grow heavier from now
on until the season reaches its height
in the latter part of this month.
Three vessels with shad and herring
aboard arrived at the wharf yesterday
and the receipts for the day were about
10000 herring and 5000 shad. The steam
ers arriving here this morning from the
lower river landings brought up shad
and herring in quantities, and the run
boats arriving also had good cargoes
aboard, SO that it is thought that the
total receipts for the day will be as
heavy If not heavier than they were yes
terday. The heavy receipts of herring
yesterday started the cutting, Vnd one
dealer had 1870 of the fish prepared for
sailing and packing. the first of the sea-

on Washington.
Back to the arctic winter again.

Back to the arctic winter again.
After touch of gentle April, a baby
cyclone bored it's way into the surround
ing atmosphere yesterday afternoon and
grew rapidly until last night 1t was a
bowling nuisance. Today the cyclone has
gone, but 1t left cold imprint behind.
The temperature today will be very low
for this time Of year.
The wind which howled along the
streets last night came from the west.
1t had considerable strength. blowing
down trees here and there, ripping up
loose boards in back fences, knocking
over a badly mortared chimney once in
a while and making the clouds which
scudded across the big moon appear to
be running for shelter.
Whether the wind was playing political
tricks or not can be left to the judgment
of the men who will have to put up the
big Champ Clark banner across F street
at 14th today. While the Clark
supporters were getting reports from
Wisconsin. which this morning seemed to
favor Woodrow Wilson. the wind was
beating f1ercely against the Clark stream
er from the candidates headquarters and
finally. with last fierce gust, the big
canvas broke loose from it's mornings
A metal pulley attached to the banner
sailed through the plate glass window
of a shoe store at 1884 F street north

Asks for Road Funds.

The Public Improvement Association OF
Congress Heights is determined in its
fight to obtain street improvements in
that suburb. Last night at the April
meeting renewed action was taken re-
garding this matter. An endeavor has
been made to have specific appropriations
made for certain streets. but it seems
that this cannot be done, and now the
association is communicating with the
Commissioners, with the view of having
portion of the sum appropriated for
county roads used in that vicinity.
So far efforts have been somewhat sue
cessful, and some Of the streets have
been placed in a better condition, but are
yet far from good. in the opinion of some
of the members 1t was reported last
evening that 7th, Sth and Portland streets
would receive some attention in the near
future.
The school building committee made a
compiete report OF the present condition
OF the building, and Of the relief that
would be given should the appropriation
or $56.OOO as included in the Senate bill
be made The committee will present its
claims to congressional committees at the
proper time. Gustave Bender presented
the report last evening and expressed the
Del1ef that the amount would be made
available at this session Of Congress
New Tag System Desired.
There was lengthy discussion regard
ing the obtaining of wagon tags by
farmers bringing their produce to the
Washington markets. resolution was
adopted requesting the Commissioners to
advise the association if it will not be
possible to obtain these tags placed at
the several suburban police precincts. in
stead of requiring all to obtain them from
the District building. 1t was pointed out
that the present system is unhandy.

was presided over by ]. w. Lyons, vice
