The rain muddied all the rivers
and streams and kept the anglers
from venturing out on the choppy
bay. The few that dared the
elements, returned with very lit
tie to brag about and usually
badly drenched on top Of it.
Perhaps, the most interesting
bit Of news was a catch Of a
half dozen large hard-heads off
Mason's Beach by Steve Mantzou-
ris and three friends Sunday af'
ternoon.
This is the first authentic re-
port of fish being caught on the
western shore of Chesapeake Bay
as far north as Shady Side. The
party used peelers and fished all
morning, but didn't get a strike
until afternoon.
Congressman Duncan, of Mis-
souri,, Joe Healy, Joe Olmert, r.
l.. Rivercomb, Fred Heatherton
and George German managed to
overtake nine big hardheads at
Benedict last Saturday afternoon.
They observed boats that had
been out in the morning bringing
in a few but no big catches.
Fair Luck
joe Bolin, Herb McProuty and
Louis Carrico had fair luck last
Friday at Benedict. Stuart Fitz-
hugh, Ashton Crist, Ralph Gill,
Wilson Canter, Albert Crouch and
Jack Worsham bagged IL hard
heads and 3 trout in the Patuxent
Sunday.

well above Benedict to nigh unto
Broomes Sunday from noon to
nearly 10 p. m. and only nabbed
Is hardheads, all averaging well
over 2 pounds, however. Shapiro
won the pool with q four FOUNDER.
John Donald, Larry Homan and
Ed Jameson also visited their old
Benedict hauntS with disappoint-
ing luck, picking up only six.
Picking Up Fast
Things are picking up fast
around the Patuxent, though, and,
with deathless optimism, the boat
men are looking forward to fairly
good fishing weather over the
weekend. Capt. Warren Denton
took out a party at Broomes
Wednesday which caught more
than 40 hardheadS.
The Eastern Shore seems to
have been but slightly affected
by the adverse weather condi-
tions. Capt. J. w. Manifold
headed a party out to Sharp's
Island Tuesday afternoon which
pulled in a haul of so weighing
IT'S pounds. Hooper's Island
and the mouth Of the Choptank
River are also favorably men,
toned.
Lower Potomac
Several hardy fishermen tried
the waters around the lower Po-
tomac in the vicinity Of Rock
Point Sunday and got only two
small perch.
Capt. Bob Wilson made a per-
sonal inspection of the nearby
Potomac with the intention of
lifting a few bass out Of their
watery homes, but he found the
river much too muddy and cold.
Many another local angler all
set to battle the popular bass,

D. {. LUMP SUM
PARLEY DUE
MRS. BICKFORD

With the chairmen of the four
congressional committees con-
cerned having indicated their
willingness to sit jointly in dis
cussion. of District-Federal Gov
eminent fiscal relations, it ap-
peared today that a meeting for
that purpose will be held early in
January.
Senator Elmer Thomas CD of
Oklahoma, chairman Of the Sen
ate District Appropriations SUBJ
committee, who proposed the joint
meeting, said today it would not
be, possible to get the four chair
fnen together before Congress con-
venes, but that he would request
them to meet as soon as possible
after the beginning of the session.
He said, although naturally 1t
would be best if all members of
each of the committees could sit
in, it would be virtually impos-
sible to get them all together and
that the chairmen would have to
report to their respective COM
mittees as to what transpired as
the meetings proceeded.
The Oklahoman has expressed
the hope that an agreement might
be reached wherein the Federal
Government would appropriate on
a percentage basis instead of a
lump sum basis for the District.

is preparing an answer to charges
filed against him by Paul E.
Jameson, attorney for the City
Fire Fighters Association, and

chairman of the Senate District
committee, and Representative
Mary T. Norton, chairman of the
House District committee, prom
ising the full cooperation of
the Commissioners in sitting the
charges.

TOLD Of RICHES,
JUST MOOCHER

Mrs. Evelyn M. Brazil Harris,
$500 block Warren st. N. w., to-
day asked District Supreme Court
to annul her marriage to Charles
Harris on the ground that he in
duced her to go through with the
ceremony through numerous and
false representations.
Mrs. Harris asserted she met her
husband last February. She was
employed as a clerk in the Gov
ernment service, the petition
stated, and he represented himself
to be a graduate of Columbia Uni
versity, son of Charles K. Harris,
eminent song writer; prominent in
the councils of the Democratic
party and virtually assured of a
high Government position in the
Roosevelt Administration; and, al
though hard hit by the stock mar
ket, the expectant heir to vast
fortune of an aged uncle.
The marriage was performed
last June 19 in Baltimore. A
month later, the petition con.
tinued, she left her husband
after discovering he was penni,
less, addicted to intoxicants and
narcotics, and that the rosy
dreams he wove of their future
together had turned into a night
mare.
Through Attorney Raymond
Neudecker, Mrs. Harris declared
she sold valuable stock to defray
the expenses of their honeymoon.
She added that since the separa.
ton, Harris has been molesting
her at her office.
