WHOLESALE ARRESTS
HyattsviIIe Council Repeats
Section of Speed Regulation
Which Gives BaiIiff Fee.
By HARRY WARD.

Automobile owners in Washington to-
Gay are much Interested in the action
that has been taken in Hyattsville to
put a stop to the wholesale arrests of
motor car drivers for alleged violations
of the speed law
A special meeting OF common council,
with Mayor Harry W. Shepard presid-
ing, was held last night in Hyattsville,
and an ordinance was adopted repeating
that provision of the speed regulations
which authorized the payment of a por-
ton of the fines collected to the bailiffs
making the arrests. The bailiffs will be
put on fixed salary, and this is ex-
pected to put a damper on their enthu-
siasm in holding up motorists merely
for the purpose of getting the fee. The
speed limit of ten miles an hour within
the corporate limits will be continued.
Practically every automobile dealer
and supply man in Washington, togeth-
er with half a hundred or more promi-
nent automobile owners, will visit the

ton of the automobile, board trade and

Never before was there such SION

That Is why Grosner is able to offer
$3.50 and $3.50 Kuppenheimer Suits and
Overcoats for si4.s5, and SIS and $50 Suits

Hudson River ohad.

You may have noticed that your
shad this year was wilted and taste
less and far from the fish upon which
you dotted IN your childhood. For
once you are right. 1t is not that you
are growing old. but that the best
shad in the business, those from our
own Hudson river. have passed out
Last winter the shad 1shermen put
out their nets az usual. But nothing
happened. The shad is a tempera-
mental beast, and it was thought at
first that a change in weather would
bring him around. But wintry spring
came and went without results. And
now the oldest fishermen are selling
out and moving to other waters.
Just why the thistle of the fish fam
fly has taken sudden dislike to his
old haunts every one is at liberty to
guess. Probably the fact that each
year the Hudson is becoming more
like a sewer and less like a river has
something to do with the case.
At any rate. here passes really
