TWO RIvERMEN HELD
FOR ILLEGAL FISHING
Pair Picked Up in 0xon Run Early
This Morning by Harbor
Patrol.

Revealed in the powerful rays Of the
harbor patrol boats spotlight cutting
across the waters Of Oxon Run early
this morning, two Alexandria rivermen
were arrested on charges of illegal fish,
Ing with nets In District waters and
their boat, three nets and IS fish seized.
The men were taken to the harbor
precinct, where they gave their names
as William Henderson, 81 years old, and
lane, Alexandria. They were to face
arraignment In Police Court today.
The arrests followed the discovery
Monday Of eight heavily loaded nets in
the Eastern Branch of the Potomac
River and the order Of night patrols by
Lieut.. Edward T. Harvey, commander
OF the harbor station, to stamp out
illegal fishing.
Sergt. j. T. Haugley and Pvts. Theo-
dore Crow and M. D. Harbaugh came
upon the men in Oxon Run just below
the National Training School for Girls
at Blue Plains about o'clock this
morning and took them into custody
when they are alleged to have caught
the fishermen in the act of hauling in
net loaded with carp.
Police said Henderson and Bashford
scrambled for their oars when the pa
troll boats light picked them up, but so
quietly had the police craft slipped up
on them that they were halted before
getting under way.
The officers searched the water nearby
and found two other nets.
BaShford and Henderson were fined
$25 each at Police Court today.
I'm this case I will sentence you to
pay $25 or serve 80 days." Judge Ralph
Given said. eff the fish were anything
but carp you can bet the sentence would
be much heavier"

SPEED LIMIT URGED
FOR BOATS IN RIVER
Ten Miles an Hour Maximum for
Craft Is Suggested by
Maj. Pratt.

A speed limit Of 10 miles per hour
for water craft in the Washington
Channel, the Georgetown Channel and
the Eastern Branch was suggested to
the Commissioners yesterday by Maj.
Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of
police.
This matter was considerably agi-
tated last Summer, when Roland M.
Brennan, chairman of the Districts
wharf committee, charged that the
waves set up by speed boats was dam
aging the Districts wharf property and
endangering other craft. At the time
the corporation counsel wrote an
opinion that the Commissioners had
power to impose the speed limit, but
speed boat interests arranged gen
tlemen's agreement" that no speeding
would be done in the channel, and
the regulation was not adopted.
The matter again came to the fore
this Spring, when Col. U. s. Grant, Sd,
director Of public buildings and public
parks, inquired whether the harbor po-
lice were given power to enforce speed
restrictions in the Washington and
Anacostia Channels. Mai. Pratt rec
commended that the following order be
issued:
"No vessel, boat or water craft of
any description shall be propelled at a
greater rate of speed than 10 land miles
per hour on the waters of the Wash
ington Channel or the Eastern Branch
of the Potomac River between the
docks and point opposite to Hams
Point or on the waters Of the George
town Branch of the Potomac River
above the Memorial Bridge"
