anchors prevented a clean landing al
| After several futile attempts from
the east side of the basin, operations
| were transferred to the west side. The
proposed site of the colored bathing
beach was chosen on account of the
dirt which had been dumped there
! but stakes and other obstacles, to
Gether with the fact that there was
an abrupt drop of 10 or II feet again
prevented making good landing.
| The SEEMING operations 50 FAR have
| proved beyond a shadow of a doubt
that there are Il great many bass In
the basin at present, and also a large
number of carp and catfish.
When the stakes and other obstacles
| were encountered the net had to be
| lifted over them, and in so doing the
| fish were permitted to escape. In the
harls on the west side the large seine
was put out, but when 1t was hauled
in and got close to shore the lead
ropes, which had been dragging the
bottom, were lifted up on account OF
the sudden rise. leaving big opening
for the fish to get out. After many
unsuccessful attempts to make good
landing it was decided to abandon
the work until these obstacles could
be overcome.
Those in charge of the seininS
operations all declared that great
many big carp were seen In the
meshes of the net. When Glen {.
Leach. chief of the division of fish cul-
ture of the Department of Fisheries,
was informed of this fact he stated
emphatically that he did not want to
commence planting the game fish un-
til further efforts were made to rid
TIE basin of sCme of the undesirabies.
The fishing editor of The Star,
after talking over the matter with
Capt. Deeters, who said he would be
willing to bring back his seine and his
men if a ma jority of the obstacles
which prevented him from making a
success of his first efforts were re-
moved, decided to call on the Navy
Department for assistance in remov-
ing the stakes by means of a diver
The matter was referred to Secretary
Wilbur, and permission was received
to have men from the diving school at
the Navy Yard go to the basin and
try to locate anything which may
hinder the seining operations. This
work will be done some time this
week.
The Bureau of Fisheries said it will
detail two men to assist in the diving
operations, but it will require three
times that number to push the big
float around the basin. Therefore
volunteers are sought TO assist In
maneuvering the float to expedite the
work.
There seems to be no way to hurry
up the Hawes bill to prohibit the
sale and interstate shipment Of bass.

d tore large holes in the sein.
This bill now is before both the
House and Senate and there is no
doubt about its passing. but what the
anglers of Washington and the entire
country want most is to see 1t pass
before this years spawning season is
over. 1t would take only a few min

extend their operations beyond the
limits now allowed In their petition
to the War Department which is be-
fore Col. Earl /. Brown, the fisher
men ask to extend their nets from
3 to miles off the coasts of New
Jersey, Delaware and Virginia.
The commercial fishermen declare
their catches are becoming smaller
and that their investments in fishing
projects are threatened. Conservation
League officials declare the pound
operators themselves are largely re-
sponslble for this shortage of fish y
Another cause for shortage, they
claim. is the increasing fleet of So
called fish pirates" These fishing
boats. licensed to catch fish known
as menhaden or bunker, which is not
food fish, have turned TO netting
schools of food fish whenever they
find them. Surf angling clubs and
