Live bait for bass fishing promises to
be a scarcity this summer, fer the Mary
land legislature recently passed a law
which forbids the shipping of mad
toms out of Washington county, Nd.
1t is from this county that most of
these specimens come. the term mad
tom" being only another name for
young catfish small enough to he used
as bait. Washington dealers are now
making arrangements with shippers In
other Maryland counties and in some
Pennsylvania localities for q supply for
the local demand. This may mean that
the price of last year, so cents dozen,
will be materially increased.
1t may have been wisdom on the part
Of the Maryland legislature to pass such
law. but it is hard for local fishermen
to see it Most FISHERMEN look on the
catfish as more of a nuisance than any
thing else, and it is too prolific to be
in danger of determination. The ex-
cuse has been ade that the Washing
ton county fishermen want this bait for
their own use, but there are probably
a thousand mad toms" in the county
for every fisherman. The chief points
of shipment heretofore have been wash
ington and Baltimore.
1t would be of vastly more benefit for
the Maryland legislature to pass a law
to protect the shad and herring in their
spawning waters in Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries. Unless Maryland
and Virginia take some such steps the
decrease in the numbers of these i'm
portSnt food fish will soon become
alarming. A committee to take UP this
matter has already been appointed at
annapolis, and the Virginia legislature
will appoint similar body this year.
These two bodies will probably get to-
gether and draft joint bill that will
meet the situation.
Boats may be obtained from Tram
nell. Great Falls; Fletcher. Lock Cove;
two lighthouses. Three Sisters; Reyn-
olds or Barker, foot Of Thirty-fourth
street; Cumberland. foot of Twenty
sixth street; Bailey, under Anacostia
bridge. and Miller. District end Of Ben

Bait always to be purchased at fol-
lowing lighthouses: Reynolds, Bailey's,
and Millers. Also at certain fishing
tackle stores.
The following places bear the repu-
tation of being good fishing grounds:

sides of Manhattan resulted in the muir
der of five men, the fatal wounding of
three, and the injury Of MANY more are
sought by the police today after the
outbreak of disorder had eliminated in
a bloody street fight in Hell's Kitchen.
Twenty-Five suspects were gathered in
by the police. They spent last night
vainly seeking for those whose blood
spattered the payements after the Hell S
Kitchen ARRAY. Every man hit was
spirited away. Today all had evaded
the searching detectives.
Twenty men, firing promiscuously,
filed the street at Ninth avenue and

broke out. They were the members Of
the Helrs Kitchen and the Strykers
Farm bands.
Thrown Into Panic.
Hundreds OF the dwellers in tenements
there fed in terror when the battle be-
gan, and several women and children
narrowly escaped the flying lead.
The rattle of pistols was heard in the
West Forty-seyenth street police sta
tion, just a block away, and reserves
were hustled around the corner. Before
they arrived, however. the feud was
over, the gunmen had scattered, and
only blood on the paving stones showed
that some of the bullets went home
