Boys Pluck Them from Pools
Along Esopus Creek-To
Arrest Poachers.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Kingston, n. Y, oct 4.-Fish by the
thousands are being caught In pools along
Esopus Creek in peach baskets fastened
to the ends of poles. In some places the
supply is SO plentiful that 1T is possible to
pick the fish out with the bare hand.
Many complaints have been made against
the practice as violation Of the game
laws.
The situation has been made possible by
the closing Of the Ashokan dam. Since
then the water in the creek, from the
dam to Saugerties. has dwindled TO little
tricklng brook. Wherever there is nat
ural barrier, like a rock ledge or clay
bank, in the stream the water has settled
back into the natural basins and pools.
Bass, sunfsh. catfish. perch and other
fish have sought refuge in the pools and

TO ACCELERATE PROMOTION. -
Navy officers are intensely interested IN
the efforts OF the Navy Department to
secure the enactment OF some form Of
personnel bill. designed TO relieve the
present and prospective stagnadon In pro.
motion.
1t is expected that such a bill Will be
reported to the House during the next
session OF Congress. Probably Its irnpor-
tant feature will be provision for furth-
er elimination Of officers to provide the
necessary flow OF promotion.
According TO the present law. thu
"plucking board only takes out officers
in order to promote forty Junior lisutsn.
ants a year, regardless OF the way these
junior lieuienants are promoted. II there
were enough casualties In the lieutenants
list, It would still answer the purpose a.
long as forty junior lieutenants were pro.
NOTED each year.
The main object Of any system OF pro-
motion should be a proper rear admirala'
list, or, rather, flag officers list, and
unless the system adopted provides for
such a list ii will be a failure. Officers
hold that the fleet is no stronger than
the admiral In command and that an
army is never better than the general
commanding
Admirals must be afforded time 20 learn
how to handle the division, later the
squadron and last the fleet. This can
not be learned out of book, and requires
actual practice at sea. Under tho present
system, naval officers reach flag rank
too late to put in the proper training
periods for higher command.
Attention is directed to the German
navy, where promotion is entirely by elm
nation, and the officers reach the grade
OF rear admiral at the age Of fifty. In
our service at the present time the senior
captains will be promoted at the average
age Of flfty-nlne years and one month,
leaving them only two years and eleven
months to serve as rear admiral
The oldest captain to be promoted will
have but eight months TO serve as rear
admiral. Under such conditions the ad.
vantages Of elimination in the higher
grades may be readily seen.
