This was more or le | the nature of a. surprise, as Mr | O'Malley himself did not know until | the last minute that these fish would | reach Washington in time to be plant ed Saturday. He said owing to the lateness of the hour he did not form anybody of their arrival, but quietly slipped down to the basin with the shipment and again super- vised the planting. Commissioner O'Malley said today that after careful consideration of the proposal to seine the basin to get out all the carp, he had decided to wait until the Fall to have this done. His object in delaying this part of the work, he said, was to avoid dis- turbing the nests of the fish which he thinks have already been started by the fish recently planted. He said to drag nets over the bottom of the basin at this time would perhaps de- stroy their nests and defeat the pur- pose for which the fish were planted. Would Revise Rules. Commissioner O’Malley is also draft- ing a letter to be sent to Col. Sherrill, in which he is asking that certain changes be made in the existing laws governing fishing in the waters of the basin at the present time. At a recent meeting of the Potomac the assoclation was directed to send a fishing fund. This check came out of the treasury of the association, and was not collected from individual members. - his contribution of 25 cents with the following note: “Dear Star: Here is a quarter for the fish for the Tidal Basin. I wish I had a good fishing rod, but I made one. I would send more money, but I won't be 7 years of age for another week, and have saved this amount for the fund.
