What Ais The SHAD?
ONLY "WANDERLUST r

FRENcHTOWN. n. J.. June 5.--A
record run OF herring in the Delaware
river is Strengthening the claim OF
government fishery experta that some
other cause than river pollution Is
responsible for tho Disappearance OF
the shad. The herring is more sus-
ceptihle than shad to injury from inn
. pure water conditions. It is said. yet
4 the Delaware this year is teemlnp
with the largest schools OF herring
seen in twenty years.
For several years herring have
been getting as scarce in proportion
70 their former numbers as the shad.
Their unexpected return this year
lends foundation to the opinion OF
those government officials who be-
lieve the shad. which are OF the
herring family and like them erratic
in their annual movements. are now
merely wandering on some distant
coast and like the tile fish, for years
from the fishing banks of
New Jersey, they eventually will re-
turn to tho Delaware river in as great
plenty as ever.

TATLOR FINED FOR
NEGLECTING CHILDREN

Charged with neglect of his three
small children, Winfield S. Taylor
was fined $50 and costs in Municipal
Court this morning. Evidence was
given by city detectives that he kept
the children in the house, No. 900
Bennett street, where a woman yes
terday pleaded guilty to maintaining a
house of Ill fame. The detectives tes-
tilted that the house was in gener-
ally filthy condition, and the children
we're in the same condition.
Taylor's defense was that he had
been in the city but four weeks and
had lived in the country all his life.
The court could not see where this
situation constituted any defense at
all, and, after severely scoring the de-
PENDANT, imposed the fine.
