MANY TONS OF GOLD
FISH ARE CAUGHT nv
THE PORTAGE RIVER
Where These Fish Come From Is a
Mystery-They May Have Been
Released BY Floods in Some
Park and Resort
Aquariums.

Port Clinton, o., Dec 20.---Many tons
Of gold fish have been caught in the
fishing grounds of the Portage river
here. by local fishermen, during the
past few weeks. Where these fish come
from is mystery, although they have
been seen in this section before, but
never in such large quantities. Accord
ing to some of the fishermen the first
scattering of the fish was found IN 1918
after the big floods of Ohio and the
lake regions, and it was thought at
that time that the fish may have been
liberated from some of the park and
resort aquariums, by the overlooking
OF the flooded artificial ponds.
The first fish were found in small
numbers at intervals by the fishermen
who had their nets in Lake Erie, and
an occasional fish would be brought
ashore as curiosity. Later the fish
found their way to the marshes and in
land waters of the fishing grounds OF
the Portage river, and it has been only
during the past few months that they
have been caught in such large quaint
ties. Hauls of from a ton TO ton
and half have been reported at a
single time by the fishermen who have
their seine grounds for carp fishing, and
these fish have appeared in large
schools, making a very interesting
sight when they are being rounded up
for the lifting of the nets.
The fish are not of the glass bowl
variety, but seem to be more OF a carp
species, and will measure several inches
and weigh as much as half pound
each. They are placed in live cars and
brought here to be loaded into express
cars and shipped in tanks, alive, to the
New York markets, where they are
sold to the retail and wholesale trade.
Tn to this time the local trade has not
INDUCED in the gold fish for food
product, although il is said that the
fish are of a very good quality, but
have very fine bones
They seem to have no trouble with
the other members of the carp family,
and their habits are said to be the
same. The larger fish have the features
OF ~rp, with the large scales, but q
decided difference in the coloring. These
fish are highly colored in the yellow
and gold shades, with a little sprink.
ling Of red which makes them very at
tractiye.
1t is said that some of these fish have
been placed in glass jars, and held for
some time, but that they did not take
on additional size.
Charles KlingbeiI OF the United
States hatcheries here is of the opinion
that these fish came from the aquari'
ums of Belle Isle and Detroit during
the food times of 1913, and that dur
ing these past seven years have multi
piled until the shallow waters OF this
vicinity have become inhabited by mil
lions OF fish As the gold fish are
adapted to the warmer waters, they
have found the marshes of this section
desirable quarters for their summer
maneuvers, and during the winter
months they seek the deeper waters OF
the Portage river where they are pro
tected from the ice and the freezing
which would confront them in the
marshes.

SHARP DISCUSSIONS
Marked Closing Session of League of
Nations Assembly.

Geneva, Dec. 90 tBy the Associated
Press Mandates over former enemy
territories caused sharp discussion at
the closing session of the assembly OF
the league of nations Saturday.
The general conclusions of the man
date committees report were that the
council of the league had adopted such
policy regarding mandates that there
was no opportunity to discuss them
publicly before they went into force;
that the mandatory nations should not
recruit soldiers in territories confided
to them, nor profit from their trust in
exploiting for their own benefit the
natural resources Of those territories.
Lord Cecil, in presenting the report,
suggested that at least one woman
should be appointed member of the
mandate commission, since it would
have much TO do regarding women and
children in inundated territories.
Certain questions affecting interna-
tional relations coming within the jur-
isdiction of the league have been re-
served by China for more opportune
occasion for bringing them to the at
tention of the council or assembly, DR..
Wellington Koo, Chinese delegate, an
nounced TO the assembly.
Representatives of Austria, Bulgaria,
Luxemberg, Albania, Costa Rica and
Finland, which have been made mem
bers of the league, had seats in to-
days meeting but did not participate
in the proceedings. 1t was impossible
to secure the proper credentials in the
short time since these nations were
accorded membership.
The formal signing of the protocol
BY the representatives of a number of
nations accepting jurisdiction of the
international court was arranged for
this afternoon

One Of the most attractive Of the
Christmas windows in Aledo is in
the farm bureau Office, which has a
life size. Santa with pack on his
back. A fireplace with a real fire
glowing in the hearth. forms the
background of the picture. Well
filled stockings are hung from the
mantle and a rag rug in front of
the fire gives the idea of a regular
country fireside, In the pack on
Santa's back is the program which
the farm bureau expects to carry
out next year and in the stockings
are the benefits which the members
have received this year. The only
fault that one could possibly find
with the window is that all the
stockings which hang in row. FILL
ed to the top, belong to the mascu-
line sex, as every one is q Rock
ford.

Moline's sporadic crime wave OF

but terrorized the community, al
though the police discredit rumors
Of Wholesale highway robberies

Use Skeleton Key.
The Wright family returned home
last night at 1850 and discovered
that the house had been ransacked.
Evidence pointed to the fact that
the burglars had gained entrance
to the home by use Of a skeleton
key. The front door Of the home
was found partly ajar.
Rumors of wholesale burglaries
and holdups Wednesday night were
rife yesterday, but today the police
discredited them and expressed
the belief that the wave of eight
