Increase of Bass,
PickereI Decline
Strtrnps Fishermen
Anglers Note Sharp
Change i'm Ratio of
Fish Taken.
~ the Associsted Pres

J BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August iI.--Eastern
bass fishermen are gratified, but at a
loss 10 understand the preponderance
OF bass, both large and small mouth,
over pickerei this season.
Bait casters In the New Jersey lake
area and in Long Island waters say
at least 30 per cent more bass are
being taken than In 1893, and at least
Is per cent less pickerel are being
brought TO net than at correspond
ing time last season.
Conc nsions are based on converse
ton with ut least so anglers In north
ern counties of New Jersey and as
many in New York who frequent New
York State and Long Island fishing
grounds.
An example OF the striking differ
ence in bass and pickerel is the ratio
Of fish taken out of Burnbrae Pond.
near Sparta. ". j. Three pickerel to
one bass were taken at Burnbrae In
1888, yet the ratio for May. June and
July this season has been three bass
to one pickerel. Differences of lesser
proportions are reported from dozens
Of New Jerseys fishing sectors.
The majority Of anglers are using
regulation bait-casttng wooden and
metal plugs, both surface and UNDER
water lures, with spinners, while live
bait, gold and silver sinners or herring
has been used to lesser degree.
Action in Western States making
illegal the seining Of fresh water lakes
and ponds for sinners and minnows
is said to have been taken because
there were more live-bait fishermen
than those who use artificial lures.
State authorities declare live-bait
merchants are draining the lakes Of
them and their numbers have been so
greatly decreased that, in many Sec
tions, q closed season has been de-
clared.

BARRACKS WORK
 NEAR COMPLETION
Old Lumber Handicaps Men-Quarters May
 Open Next Week

Work on the barracks being erected at Brookside for the hous- ing of the unemployed, of the city is rapidly nearing completion, and the men now being cared for at St Johns parish house may be sent to the new quarters by the first of next week.
 William M. Harris, Mutual Aid director, said today that difficulties encountered by the workmen, who are using old lumber in the con- struction, make it impossible to state definitely just when the job will be completed. As soon as the roof of the building is construct- ed, however, 1t will be possible for the men to utilize the sleeping quarters, and the additional labor supplied by the arrival of the oc- cupants will speed up the work
 Sleeping quarters will be pro- vided for between 85 and 100 men, some of whom are now at Camp Lewis in Middlebury, and some still at the parish house. It is planned to use the new building for winter quarters for the h0me- less. a Inspection or the MluulepHEy farm was made yesterday by MT Harris, who was accompanied by the staff of the Westoyer school. The men were treated to ice cream by the visitors. :.

HUSBAND ELUDES
 LONG JAIL TERM
Hunlfflel's Plan Saves Adam Kuchinski on NOn=
 Support Charge

Her husband spent s5,OOO in the purchase of Russian rubles, Mrs Adam Kuchinski told Judge John F. McGrath during her non-sup- port case hearing in city court this morning. And did he buy Ger man marks also?" inquired the judge. She failed to answer that question but went on tell the judge during her discourse that her husband did not want her her anymore because she was no spring chicken.
 Judge McGrath was going to send the accused, 49, of 1856 Dr. ange street to jail for three months until Probation Officer Emil Hum mel advanced a proposition that was accepted by the court. Adam will bring his weekly pay check to Mir Hummel, who will split it and give half to the wife of the accused for her support. Judge McGrath continued the case for a month to see how the plan works out.
 Previously, Adam was ordered to pay $10 weekly but Mir Hummel told the court this morning that the man was difficult person to handle and did not seem to want to cooperate. Attorney Michael ". Blansfield, who represented the accused thought his client did not understand the situation and said he believed the accused was will ing to do something. He explained Adam did not earn enough to meet the court order.
 Mrs Kuchinski then stepped for ward and in broken English gave a brief review of her married life. She said her husband had $5,000 some place. Asked where it was, she replied he bought Russian rubleS with it.

 White, political enemy of many of

 was named temporary secretary. Next Monday night a permanent set of officers will be chosen.
 Last nights meeting was taken as an indication that when the
 fall primaries takes place stiff
 battle will be on for control of the town convention. Town Chairman
 Conway has already announced his candidacy for reelection. On the other hand, the new organization claims that its, aim is to give the entire g. o. p. electorate full voice in nominating candidates and electing delegates to the town convention.
 In other words, caucuses will be demanded that will be open to all republicans. In this way it is hoped by the new organization leaders to place on the ticket nominees for the town committee favorable to them. Open caucuses and open pri- maries will be demanded rather than have the delegates to the various conventions and the mem- bers of the town committee pick ed upon recommendation of a steering committee"
 On the other hand, as announc- ed last night, Town Chairman Con- way is making plans for several "pep" meetings and several "har- mony" dinners during the coming He plans to open regular g. o. p. headquarters early next Both sides are watching development closely and there Is the possibility of bitter primaries in the fall.
