Return Of lakes and streams to
normal levels in most sections Of
the state following copious rains
has tended to improve fishing con-
ditions, Erling Swenson, Director
of the Division Of Game and Fish,
reported. During the past week
several good catches have been
made in scattered sections indicat-
ing better fishing in general, Dir
ector Swenson said.
"In my opinion Mr.. Swenson
stated, "high water levels have
created new holes and improved
lakes and streams for fish life.
During the highwater state, move
ment Of fish has been unhampered
by distractions and as result q
more general distribution Of fish
es has taken place"

the internationally famous drive

new DAILY RECORD
OF BILLS FAVORED
Committee Asks $4,000 to Fl.
nance Publication to Brief
Business.

In order that members of Congress
may learn what is happening on Cap
itol Hill, the House Appropriations
Committee has recommended expendi-
ture of $4,000 to finance publication
of a daily record-in-brief.
The proposed service is suggested by
Representative Arnold, Democrat. of
Illinois, who informed the committee
that members have great difficulty in
scrutinizing, and understanding. the
5000 or more public bills that are
submitted at each session Of Congress.
His solution would be daily thumb
nail brief on each bill submitted
during the previous day, the document
to be on congressional desks each
morning. II would be free to members
and available to the public at a small
cost, the $4,000 asked being con-
sidered sufficient to support the service
for 1886.
The new item is contained in the
Legislative appropriation bill and is
included In the $1,884,9 increase
which that bill calls for in the fiscal
year 1886 as compared to the present
wear. Most Of the increase Is ac-
counted for by restoration Of salary
cuts, the total Of the bill being
$40, ,355,965.

Remorse over her part in the death
of Mrs. Sarah Bowerman, book editor

death of Mrs Matte Estelle Rogers,
driver of an automobile which ran
wild and crushed Mrs Bowerman to

The note read:
"Rog, darling:
Mrs. Bowerman's death was enoue
to kill me, but the coroner's verde
makes it impossible for me to live
Good-by. old dear. The key to the
safety deposit box is in the brown
folder in my desk. Love, Matte
Estelle."
Maj. Rogers said his wife, who had
been under treatment by physicians
for hysteria following the accident,
frequently had said to him she would
rather she had died than Mrs. Bower
man.
Prior to the fatal accident at Co.
lumbia and Ontario roads, where the
Rogers machine ran up on the side
walk, Mrs. Rogers never had had an
accident, though she had been driving
for 20 years.
At the inquest yesterday Maj. Rogers

automobile. The machine, still in low
gear, ran up on the sidewalk.

ton of University Women here and
the Judge Lynn Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution. She was
employed in the Bureau of Agricultural

completed today.

many traits which indicate person.
ality difficulties are disclosed, such as
anxiety. stage fright, suffering, ego
centric tendencies. stubbornness, over
excitation and fantastic and unrea-
sonable attitudes.
The breach between psychiatry and
general medicine was deplored in the
presidential address today of DIR. c. F.
Williams of Columbia, S. c. 1t is
largely due, he said, ito the failure
on the part of general medicine to
take into consideration the necessity
of considering human being not only
as a biological whole, but also his
relationship to his environment. In
the psychiatric field there has been
developing a pronounced reaction
against the cold biological attitude of
clinical medicine, resulting in a swing
toward the hypothetical approach. As
a result, we observe two distinct atti-
tudes, the one emphasizing the labora-
tory method and the other relying
upon observation. This tendency
among psychiatrists to stress environ
ment has perhaps annoyed the
clinicians as much as their emphasis
on chemistry, physics and biology has
irritatec the psychiatrists.
1.-THE: breach has been widened by
the exsrtions of well-meaning, but
often poorly informed individuals to
popularize and promote the social
aspects of mental hygiene. What we
need Is not this army of popular lee
turers. cult professors, Freudian
biographers and LsVelists. but sound

SHEPPARD BLAZE
TRACED TOF|REBUG
Man Who Set Fire to Sen
ator's Home Sought
by Police. q

Police and the fire marshals office
today were seeking a man believed
to have set fire last night to dining
room curtains in the home Of Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard of Texas at 1914
Nineteenth street.
The man was seen slipping out the
front door by Mrs. Sheppard when
she went to the head of the stairs on
the second floor after smelling smoke.
Mrs. Sheppard tried to telephone for
fire apparatus, but found the tele-
phone out of order.
When firemen arrived, summoned
by neighbors, they found that fire
apparently started earlier in the eve
ming in garage In the 1900 block Of
Florida avenue had put all the phones
in the neighborhood out of order.
Senator Puts Out Fire.
Senator Sheppard, with the aid Of
neighbors, had succeeded in getting
the fire under control by the time fire
apparatus arrived. The flames were
confined to the curtains, woodwork
around the rear windows in the din
ing room. and to a chair. Neighbors
reported they had seen man walk
from the house and climb in an auto
mobile in an alley and drive away.
Mrs. Sheppard described the man as
being of small stature.

Sheppard said she and her daughter
Lucille, Is, were listening to the radio
on the second floor, while Senator
Sheppard was working nearby.
Others in Neighborhood.

set off in the surrounding neighbor-
hood in past months, and expressed
confidence it was the work of fire.

|PRETTyMAN ASKED
TO DRAFT BILLS ON
TAX|CAb LIABILITY
Utilities Commission Head
Acts on Denunciation
by Justice Hitz.
COMPULSORY INSURANCE
BY OPERATORS LACKING
Question Of Responsibility of
Owner for Others Driving
Car Also Comes Up.

Corporation Counsel Prettyman was
asked today by Chairman Riley e.
Elgen Of the Public Utilities Commits
sion to draft bills for prompt presen-
tation to Congress to cover lapses in
present law relative to taxicab liability
which yesterday drew a strongly
worded denunciation from Justice
William Hitz of the Court of Appeals.
One point Is the lack of compulsory
liability insurance for taxicab oper-
ators and the other is the question
of liability of the owner of a car for
harm caused by other persons driving
his machine. either with or without
the owners authority.
Lack Of Responsibility Hit.
Justice Hitz flayed lack of RESPONSE
bllity on the part of taxi operators in
making a dissenting opinion to the
decision Of the appellate court in the
case Of Fireman Robert Simon, who
brought suit against the City Cab Co.
for damages for the loss Of leg when
struck by taxicab.
The utilities commission Is on rec
ord favoring compulsory liability in
surance for taxicab operators. Such
a bill was presented to Congress last
year jointly by the utilities commits
sion and the Commissioners. Com
missioner Allen, however. voiced a
dissenting view. That bill was killed
on the floor of the House due to oppo-
sition led by Representative Patman
Of Texas. 1t was claimed compulsory
taXicab liability insurance would
force many drivers out of work and
cause an increase in the cost of taxi
cab operation and as q result taxicab
fares.
Representative Quinn Of Pennsyl-
vania introduced this session a new
compulsory taxicab insurance bill.
This is now before the Patman SUBJ
committee of the House District Com
mittee. The District Commissioners
have taken no action on this measure
this year because similar bill was
defeated on the floor of the House
last session.
Auto Measure Passed.
Congress this session has passed
OAAC dutOlllObAlC 1l1luIlI4dl
ity measure, which sets up assurance
of payment of damages after acci-
dents.
Prettyman said he would study the
other question raised by Elgen. who
was aroused by the statement of JUS
tice Hitz, that Is, how the owner Of
car may be held liable in cases Of
accidents caIIsed nv other rerSops
driving his car. Mr. Prettyman's off,
hand thought was that the only way
to accomplish this effectively would
be to give the Utilities Commission
clear authority in law for complete
control over the cab industry.
1t was Justice Hitz's contention that
the courts might hold the owner Of a
public automobile liable for any dam
age done by it except in cases where
a thief has stolen the car in spite of
reasonable precautions taken by the
owner to keep it safe.
