May Cripple Hotels.

While the law may have been intended
to keep non-res dents off the river, ex-
pla ned an angler today, it will also de-
prive hundreds OF residents of Maryland
Of money during the bass season. 1t is
said that there are number of hotels
along the river in Maryland that depend
largely upon anglers from this city for
their receipts, and the enforcement of a
license Jaw, it is believed, will seriously
cripple them.
Then. too. it is said, there are several
hundred boatmen, residents of Maryland
who will be affected by the law. These
boatmen are paid from 81 to s. a day for
boating anglers. most of them charging
81 for one fisherman or s. for two in a
boat. Most of the boatmen, it is ex-
planned, get additional tips of cash OF
clothing for themselves or members OF
their families and the $40 assessment,

INDIGNATION RE|GNS
AMONG FISHERMEN
Maryland Requires License of
Rod Experts on Upper
Potomac.

The recent session of the Maryland
legislature was productive of a law in
tended to curtail bass fishing on the up
per Potomac.
The law contains a provision that per-
sons who wish to indulge in the sport
must first pay into the Golfers Of the
the person is not a resident of the state
and in addition to affecting several thou
sand residents Of the District of Column
bia it will affect as many more persons
residing in Virginia and West Virginia.
What about the enforcement Of the
provisions against catching bass on out
lines or trotlines?' asked an enthusiastic
angler. will the states representatives
enforce that provision?"
Fishermen Displeased.
Indignation fails to express the feelings
of the local bass fishermen who have en-
joyed the sport along the upper Potomac
in past years. 1t was not until today
that they knew of the enactment of the
license law, and many Of them declared
they will never pay the state SO for the
privilege Of fishing.
The sport is not worth the money"
remarked an angler who was told Of the
passage Of the law, although 1 suppose
some Of the sportsmen will pay it,"
The law provides that the license fee
shall be charged hook and line fisher
men who want to enjoy the sport be-
tween May i and September Is, it is
stated. and a penalty of $50 is provided
for violations of its provisions. 1t was
stated at Annapolis today that the law.
which is a voluminous document. has
not been printed, and just what provi-
sions it contains probably will be made
public through publication in county pa
pers in the near future.
From Harpers Ferry, W. Va, this morn
ing came the plaintive wall of one of Sir
1zaak Walton's disciples. His complaint
was a vigorous one, and the opin. on he
has of the members of the legislature
who so zealously guarded the few bass to
