Says New jerseys Fish
Hatchery Soon Will Be
Largest in the Country
Special to the Evening Star.

TRENTON, Nov. 19.-Ernest Napier,
president of the Board of Fish and
Game Commissioners, has just re-
ceived letter from George H. Ora
ham, one OF the fish and game COM
missioners of Massachusetts, in which
he refers to his recent visit to the
New Jersey Fish Hatchery at Hack
ettstown.
Besides being a member of the
Massachusetts commission, the author
of the letter is president of the Ma
tional Association of Game Commits
sioners.
What he has TO say will be of inter
est to the fishermen of the state.
Mr.. Graham's letter in part follows:
II can readily see that when you
decided TO build this great hatchery
you took into consideration everything
that goes to make a success OF raising
fish. First, the water supply, which
is the best and a large quantity. Sec
ond, topography, of the land, SO you
could extend to the utmost. Third,
shipping facilities. These, together
with a man as superintendent who
thoroughly understands his business,
gives you a combination that spells
success. Your present equipment for
raising brook trout, rainbow trout and
salmon is simply perfect, and your
water supply is used to Its fullest ex-
tent, and you will be able to raise all
the trout and salmon you will ever
need to stock New Jersey waters.
while you have at the present time
one of the largest hatcheries in the
country, can see that you have only
begun to develop your plant. With
your water supply you will be able to
hatch millions of pike and perch to be
planted in MANY of the shallow lakes
ponds and rivers in your State, and
then use the waters in ponds for rear
ing small mouth black bass. l believe
that in the near future you will be
turning out these fish in large num-
bers.
II have no hesitation in saying that
you now have at Hackettstown the
best trout hatchery that / have seen,
and when you have the plant fully
developed you will have the largest
hatchery in the country"

 This information came from Robert V Pesauiera, confidential agent of the constitutionalists in the United States, who recently arrived here from Wash ington,
 Mary Rumors Reach Juarez.
 Seuor Pesouiera spent the afternoon and part of the evening in this city Investigating various runoTS and So- called official reports dealing with the situation at the front. At the conclu- sion of his investigations he telegraph ed long report to associates in Wash ington and later talked with newspa- per men. The constftutionalist secre- tary of the interior, Senor Zubarans was present at the interview,
 Battle Bloody and Stubborniy Fought.
 They had no facts to divulge, save that fighting continued and that the contest thus far has been bloody and stubbornly contested on both sides. They stated that no telegram from GeneraI Valla, had been received, say ing that General VeIasco had suggest ed a conditional surrender. They as- serted positively, on the other hand, that federal reports of victory were absurd.
 Believes Villa Certain of Victory.
 'I believe that the rebels tonight are making concerted attack on the fed eral positions" said Secretary zu- baran. With what success do not know, but in the end I believe Gen eral Villa Is certain of victory. Mex jeans are fighting against Mexicans, and the contest is stubborn, but the moral force which in the end will spell victory Is on our side. Many of the telegrams credited to General Villa have not really been sent by him. Whence they came do not know.
 No News Until Torreon is Taken.
 Villa is using guns and hand gren- ades, not typewriters. He sold the correspondents at the front frankly that they could send no despatches un- iii he had taken Torreon. There have been no such -despatches, and the con cIusion. aside from our actual trough sca--s icss5-naticrl. 7 Ase clear. Tof.eon has not been taken.
 Advantage With Rebels.
 "On the other hand every fact at our command shows that the advantage is with us. We have Gomez Palacio and Lerdo and a foothoid in Torreon. The story is being told there. We may have the city in a day or a. week, but in the end we will have it. We have no details; we know only that our men are fighting the big fight of the revo- Iution, and the advantage thus far is with us.'
