Police Take to Small Boats a Quite a Haul—In Court Today. Make Persons who operate fish nets in the Waters of the Potomae in the District limits, and are successful enough to catch shad or herring, do so in violation of two laws, now that it is later than June 10. Not only do they violate the 10-years law for the protection of the fish in the Poto- mac, but they also violate the act of 1882, which provides a penalty of $5 for each stad or herring found in possession, or ex- posed for sale, fresh, after June 10. Ever since the re-enactment of the law for the Protection of fish In the river, the members of the crew of the police boat Joe Black- burn have exerted themselves in an effort to break up the unlawful fishing at night, for they were certain that @ number of fishermen were violating the law. The enactment of the law did not cause any of the fishermen to dispose of their nets, and it was known that they were of no value unless they could be used in the river. Many mornings wet nets were seen banging along the river bank to dry, and it was natural for the officers to suppose that they had been in use. Previous to last night the arrests for vio- lating this iaw had been few and far be- tween, and the last man arrested, an Alex- ardrian, was so poor that the court could net, with any degree of conscience, send the offender to jail. His plea of poverty was substantiated by others who knew him, and with a warning the court released hii Night after night the officers went out in| search of offenders. With police boat they | found {t impossible to get near enough to the violators of the law to apprehend them. The marine laws will not permit even the police boat to go out at night without the required lights, and an attempt to get near the small beats in the darkness and with- out the aid of a search light was impossi- For several nights theMicers have kept out of the way, and Yesterday Harbor- master Sutton laid plans for a general zaid. It was about 10 o'clock when Policemen Perry and Lewis, members of the crew, took charge of small boats and started out on the raid. Each officer had two good oarsmen, and the first trip was made in the direction of Giesboro’ Point. A short dis- ance below the point the officers came upon a small boat, in which they found two men, Chas. Devine and Frederick Jack- son. In the bogt these men had nine shad and a net. The net was wet and covered with fish scales, showing, to the satisfac- tlom of the officers, that it had just been } taken from the river. In another boat Geo, Wood and Carroll Wood had thirty-six shad and a net, and they were also arrested. Then the officers signaled the Joe Black- | burn, and the boats and prisoners were taken to the wharf. Having been so suc- cessful in this raid, the officers next headed for Georgetown. There in the channel they saw a net, and not far off was a small boat, in which two men were seated. At first the officers went toward the net, and the men in the boat acted as though they imagined the officers were pirates, and they made a move as though they intended to protect the net from being robbed. But before reaching the net they became sus- pictous and made a start for the shore. Then there was a lively chase, and Wm. Cumberland and Chas. Smith, occupants of the boat, were made prisoners. A few min- utes later Augustus Grimes and Joseph Hurdle were found. They had eleven shad in their boat, and a net was in the water not far from them. The Joe Blackburn met this quartet of a leged illegal fishermen at the Long bridge. and gave them a free ride to the 7th street wharf. The eight men arrested were then taken to the police station, where charges were preferred against them. Im Court Today. The cases were called in the Police Court this morning. The first case called was the one in which the defendants Cumberland and Smith were mteresied. The officers were unable to prove that they owned the net in the water. They had a net in their boat. In explanation of their presence op the river they claimed thay they were {z- norant of the law, and said they saw a man hay! his net, but as he did not get Sayinieg they did not put their nets out. ‘They said they went out on the river ubout 9 o'clock, and stayed out there talking to a man whom they dii not know for abuut four hours. ‘The result was they had to be discharged. Devine and Jackson live in Alexandria and they claimed that they caught the fish several hours before they were arrested, although the officers said that one of the fish was alive when the arrest was madc. They were fined $% for each shad, making the fine $45. Defendant Grimes made a statement to show that the law had deprived him of his means of supporting his family. He said he went out to get some fish for his fam- ily and took his friend Hurdle out with him to show him how the fishing is done. Judge Miller said he sympathized with | Grimes, but he had knowingly violated the law and he would have to pay the penalty. Grimes was fined $10 and his boat and net confiscated In one case, of having the eleven shad sentence was suspended. Hurdle was released on his per- scnal bonds. Carroll Wood and his son next appeared. ‘They live in Alexandria and their pitiable | condition aroused the sympathy of every one in court. The father is blind and his young son led him to the prisoner's rail. An Alexandria policeman was in court, who told of the straightened circumstances of the family. He promised that the man would never again violate the law and the court released him on his personal bonds. Harbormaster Sutton wanted to know what to do with the fish and the judge —— remarked: “Send them to Coxey’s army.” They will be sent to the poor house. antag FOR AN ASSAULT. Five Mem Arrested for the New Cut Road Outrage. < Five young colored mep, all alleged to have been concerned in the New Cut road assault on Henrietta Storried, were arrest- ed last night and this morning. ‘They were Marshall Turner, Wm. Bundy, Robert Coates and Augusta, clias Vallla Lee. There are two more at liberty whom the police are desirous of getting their clutches | on. Marshall Turner ts an employe of Mr. John B. Blundon, near whose house the as- sault was made, and who frightened the assaulters off by firing a gun near them. It was just getting dark on Tuesday even- ing when the affair took place, and as the crowd scattered, Mr. Blundon’ thought he recognized, through a familiar woking Nght coat, his employe Turner, The next day he questioned the fellow as to his whereabouts at the hour of the assault, and | contradictory Statements were made. A strict cross-examination resulted in a con- fession, in which Turner acknowledged his guilt, and implicated five others, among them Jackson of the arrested crowd. Later in the day Mr. Blundon saw Turner and | Jackson together talking earnestly. When the latter had departed the former came to Mr. Blundon and said that his confession of the earlier part of the day was a “fake.” He really knew nothing whatever of the assault. The arrest of the crowd, thoug’, followed. —— Canal Claims. The canai labor claimants were yesterday heard by Judge Stake of Cumberland. They argued that they have a lien on the body | of the canal superior to the mortgage against it, and that before a further ex- tending of the time to test the feasibility of operating it ts granted the canal trustees should provide for the payment of these claims. The trustees were not represented at the hearing. patti PS Purchasing power of one penny. and the special somebody.
