Bills Provide U. s. Regulation.

Mr.. Linthicums second bill provides
for federal statute to enable the De-
partment of Commerce to regulate fishing
seasons SEEMING. He said, concerning this
BILL
ITO those familiar with the nature and
extent of present abuses in connection
with seining. the need of Il law Of this
character is apparent. II you come In
between the capes of Charles and Henry
and follow up the west shore Of Chesa-
peake bay, you will be astonished by the
perfect maze of nets which dot the wa
tiers that you will think 1t remarkable
that any fish are ever able to get as far
as the mouth of the Potomac. Some oi
these nets extend seven or eight miles out
in the bay, and SO overlap one another
that it is a wise fish indeed that is able
to get by them. In some instances. that
OF Mobjack bay being noteworthy one
they SO cover the mouth of body OF
water as to render it nearly impossible for
fish to get in"
Secretary Redfield Of the Department OF
Commerce is thoroughly aroused as to
the necessity for protective legislation
covering Chesapeake bay, according to
Representative Linthicum.

Representative Linthicum of
Maryland Fears Extermina-
ton in Few Years.
STRlCTER SUPERVISION
BY U. S. is SOUGHT
Refers Particularly to Conditions in
Chesapeake Bay and the
Potomac River.

Representative Linthicum of Mary
land predicts that the food fish OF this
country, particularly of Chesapeake
bay and the Potomac river. will be eX-
terminated within few years unless
the Department of Commerce Is al
lowed to have stricter supervision over
the wholesale manner of taking fish,
and unless the fish fertilizer factories
of Maryland and Virginia arc pro-
hibited by strict laws from manufac-
turing their compound from the bodies
of useful food fish. In a statement
printed today in the Congressional
Record, Representative Linthicum takes
the condition of fisheries In the Chesa-
peake bay as an example. and points
out that Secretary Redfield OF the De-
partment of Commerce has already
compiled figures showing that the once
teeming waters OF the Chesapeake are
rapidly losing their useful finny popu-
lation. all because Of the ruthless dis
regard of the laws Of nature in the
capture of fish.
Said Mr.. Linthicum:
Year after year our national bureau
of fisheries has directed attention to the
steady decrease in the catch of the food
fish, pointing out the abuses that ex-
listed and urging upon the various states
the Importance Of enacting laws to
remedy these abuses. II seems that
these warnings have generally been
ignored and now we are reap.ng the re-
ward Of our wasterllness. AS an object
less n Of the enormous decrease Of food
fish H. our bays and rivers consider the
case Of Neitzey Bros. of Washington,
D. c., handling seine 1900 feet long,
which requires forty-five men and two
steamers to operate, who report to the
bureau of fisheries that their entire
catch for the two seasons of 1912 and
1913 did not equal fore than one days
catch in former YEARS."

Judge Latimer Pleased.

Judge Latimer has expressed himself
as delighted with the determination OK
the committee of the D. A. r., and
said lie sincerely hoped that their
movement to- rHise funds for "a proba-
ton officer would be successful.
1t is expected that the action taken
by the Boys Neighborhood Club OF the
Grover Cleveland School, demanding
the erection Of q suitable court build
ing for the children's court. Will result
in more than $4,000 Washington chill
dren petitioning Congress To appropri-
ate money for that purpose. The boys
club intends to extend It's efforts UNI
til every boy in the schools has gone on
record. when the petition will be for
warded to Congress.

D. AR. MAY SUPPORT
A PROBATION OFFICER
Plan to Assist Juvenile Court,
Pending Action by
Congress.

Mrs. Roy Mckahan, chairman of the
Juvenile Court committed OF the u. a.
r.. is seeking subscriptions among the
members of that organization to provide
a salary for another probation officer at
the children's court In this city. The
fact that there is pressing need for at
least eight probation officers connected
with the Juvenile Court of Washington,
and provision is made by Congress for
only three, has aroused the women of the
ID. A. r. committee. and they Intend to
provide one more probation officer for tire
court until such time as Congress can
appropriate salaries for sufficient num-
Der to take care of the children, of the
city.
Twice Present Number Needed.
THE lack of the proper number of
probation officers at the court was ex-
planned to us at The last meeting OF our
Juvenile Court committee" Mrs Nc
Kahan said. Judge Latimer pointed out
to the committee that more than twice
the present number of probation officers
are needed to carry on properly the yer!
important work intrusted TO them; we
have determined to assist the Juuse ~
every way possible.
The quickest and surest way OF get
ting results" Mrs. Mckahan continued
will be TO pay the salary OF prona-
ton officer, who will work under the
direction Of the Judge. 1t is generally
agreed that volunteer probation on-
GERS are not as successful as those who
devote their entime time 10 the work,
and the only hope of accomplishing
what we are after, better supervision
Of the children under the courts care,
is to get sufficient funds to keep an adj
ditional probation officer at the court
until Congress makes proper PROVISIONS
for the court"

Causes for Depletion.

Mr.. Linthicum said that the depletion
Of the food fish could be traced to two
principal causes:
First, the deliberate sacrifice Of good
food fish by the fertilizer factories in
the manufacture Of oil or fertilizer
compounds, and
Second, the lack Of regulations as to
the time. manner and conditions under
which fish are taken"
Representative Linthicum outlined
what he believes Is the necessary legis-
lation to protect the American food fish
from utter humiliation. using instances
close to Washington and the Potomac
river to illustrate his point.
IT have introduced two bills" he said.
land the first Of these is to regulate
the interstate shipment Of fish or
products OF compounds thereof when in
tended to be used for fertilizer or Oil
in the manufacture OF fertilizer or Oil
The fish fertilizer factories contend they
do not deliberately catch any fish other
than the menhaden, because the men-
haden is the ideal fish for their par
ticu'ar purpose. ga =
1.-The bill have drawn excepts the
Inenhaden. which is known In some To-
calities as the pogie. fatbacl. or moss:
bunker. 1t places no restraint upon their
unlimited use. It also permits them to
use sharks. dogtisll, skates. rays, sea rob-
ins and sculpins SO II cannot be said that
this measure Is inimfcal to or would in
flict hardship upon the fish fertilizer fac
tories. because the men controlling these
factories violently protest that the fish
they principally use Is the menhaden.'
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-10-18
Heavy Penalties Fixed.

Representative Linthicuns bills would
make 1t necessary to label all interstate
shipments OF fish fertilizer compounds
with the declaration that it contains moth
ing In violation OF the proposed act. and
fixes heavy penalties Mr.. Linthicum's
statement hints broadly that the fertilizer
factories use food fish deliberately for
their purposes:
1T is strange" he said, that although
the fish fertilizer factories assert they
do not use food fish to any great extent
In the manufacture Of fertilizer. they
nevertheless appear to be vigorously OPP
posed to the law"
He cites a letter from Talbot Den
mead, president of the Maryland State
Game and Fish Protective Association. In
which it is stated that the fertilizer manu-
facturers circumvent the present state
laws covering the catching Of food fish.
This official said that the fish fertilizer
men do not catch any fish but menhaden.
but that they purchase all sorts Of food
fish from boats in Chesapeake bay.
