INNOCENT FISH OF ROCK CREEK
CONFUSED BY NEW ATTENTIONS
Mount Pleasant Juvenile Population Goe:
In for kaac Walton Sport to Sorrow
of Suckers, Goldfish-and Mothers.

things, had lassoed him with his line
and then jerked the hook home.
Runs Aground in Haste.
The other sucker decided to swim
out of the middle of a bad situation,
but in his haste he ran aground. Three
fishermen leaped in after him. When
the fish saw he had dashed into blind
alley, he gulped couple of times and
gave himself up.
After the fishermen got home with
their catch they learned their mothers
did not share their enthusiasm over
the suckers.
One mother said that, fish or no
fish, the family was going to have ham
for supper. Another suggested the fish
ing party hold burial in some place
not too close to the garden windows.
Somewhat cast down, the fishing
party decided to peddle the catch at Is
cents a catch. No one seemed to catch
the idea, though.
That was shortly before noon today.
The weather being somewhat more
than a good topic of conversation,
there are those who hope the catch
has been disposed of by eve time.
Goldfish Gets Away.
The goldfish, however. got away.
The fishermen say he'd better enjoy
his liberty since it's only temporary.

PRODUCERS OPPOSE
BOOST AT THIS TIME
Supply Is Ample at Present, With
Part of Spring Surplus Left,
but Production Lower.

Following a conference today between
local milk producers and distributors,
it was announced there would be no m
crease in the price OF milk 10 tne con,
sumner in washington unless warranted
later bv more severe drought conditions
than now prevail in this section.
without rain, however, the present
daily supply cannot hold out during the
latter part of August" it was said, "out
there will be no price increase except
as a last resort"
Speaking for the Virginia
Milk Producers Association, which ne
says supplies about IS per cent of the
milk consumed in Washington, Secre-
tary John McGill, jr., said after the
conference:
Our association is not in favor of
raising the wholesale price OF milk I'M
less conditions on dairy farms result in
considerably less production. Our de-
cision in this respect is governed by
two things.
1--WE realize the public is not in as
good a position to pay more for milk as
it was last year and further we think
it would be a mistake on our part 10
raise the price at this time. We agreed
that the thing to do was to carry our
cattle through the drought as long as
possible without raising the wholesale
price of milk, which is ranging from 80
to SO cents a gallon at present"
ANY increase in the wholesale price,
local distributors pointed out, naturally
would have to meet with correspond
ing increase in the retail price.
Production is considerably lower at
present. Mr.. McGill said. but there is
no existing shortage in the supply. The
Spring surplus is not quite gone, he
explained. but added that unless wealth.
er conditions change for the better, he
would expect shortage in the supply

ONE MAN ARRESTED,
STILL DESTROYED
Agents Successful Third Time This
Week on Dry Raids in
Nearby Maryland.

For the third time this week Federal
prohibition agents working out of Wash
ington' broke up a bootleegers' retreat
in Southern Maryland last night, cap
tured one man and destroyed 500
gallon still.
In sharp contrast to their raid near
Beltsville, Md, Thursday night. when
two of their number were fired on from
ambush, the capture of a man giving
the name of John Smith near Waldorf
Md, was without untoWard incident. A
second man escaped.
A run of whisky had just been started
and about 10 gallons of the contraband
had dripped out of a long copper coil
their raid, about 8 o'clock. Smith, who
said he was 26 years old and lived in
Washington, was an easy capture. The
still and several watts containing 10000
gallons of mash were dynamited.
Further evidence that a shortage of
water is adding to the difficulties of the
bootleggers was found at the still. A
nearby creek had run dry and the oper-
ators were siphoning dirty water from
a makeshift well into the still.
Smith was taken to Baltimore from
Upper Marlboro this morning for ar
raignment. There he will join the three
Maryland men captured by the agents
Thursday night near Beltsville. These
men-Burton Willard, 38, and Lloyd
earle, 38, of Hyattsville, Md, and
Francis Brear, %, of Berwyn-were re-
turned to Jail after arraignment before
a United States commissioner yesterday
when unable to make bond of $1,000
each. They will be given q preliminary
hearing next Friday.
The other raid of the week was en-
gineered Tuesday night near Califor-
mia, in st. Marys County, Md, and re-
suited in the arrest of three men, one
of whom was Manuel Herrick, one-time
Representative from Oklahoma, and the
demolition of a 750-gallon still. Her
rick is in jail in Baltimore awaiting a
hearing next Wednesday.

BROWN ADDRESSES
BAR ASSOCIATION
Postmaster General Is Speaker at
Final Session of Convention, Held
at Howard University.

Postmaster General Walter A. Brown
addressed the final session of the fifth
annual National Bar Association con-
Vention yesterday afternoon at the
Howard University Law School.
The address of Mr.. Brown, largely
an explanation of the Republican
party's policy toward the colored con-
stituency in the South, particularly
stressed the belief that colored political
sentiment in the South. despite its fire.
quent suppression by unlawful balloting
restrictions, is predominantly Repub-
lican. Recent difficulties with the Re-
publican administration among colored
districts of the South, he declared,
have been raised by purely personal
differences, being in no wise indicative
of a general political rift.
The morning session was featured
by the election of officers. Those chosen
were: Raymond Pace Alexander, presi-
dent; Perry w. Howard, first vice presi-
dent; w. T. Andrews, second vice presi-
dent; Georgia j. Ellis, third vice presi-
dent; George w. Lawrence, secretary;
Mrs. Louis Pridgeon, assistant secretary,
and Percival r. Piper, treasurer.
A reception and dance last night at
the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U
streets, concluded the convention.

The fishing situation in Rock Greek
Park is all very confusing, particularly
to the fish.
In the first place, the fish are rather
inexperienced. For years fishermen have
ignored Rock Greek fish with con-
siderable enthusiasm.

ermen here who fished out their years
without once suspecting the existence
of fish in Rock Greek.

The only exceptions to the ruling will
be municipal bazaars, authorised by
mayors ana issuing prizes OF less than

No question of the honesty OF the
sweepstakes drawings was raised, but 1t
is believed the false use of the names Of
Canadian organizations In promoting
fraudulent lotteries in the United States
was responsible for the ban. The only
comment offered was that the raining of
automobiles in the streets had become
nuisance.
