THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 4. 1907. SPRING ATTRACTS THE FISHERMEN Fishing Tackle Seen in Stores of Country and City When April Comes. OLDEST OF KNOWN SPORTS r'lrst English Book on Angling Was Printed In 1 496 'Washington Disciple of Walton, Like Cleveland, His Successor. BY FREDERIC J. HA8KIN. WASHINGTON, March 29. (Special Correspondence.) Bursting buda may herald the coming of Spring to the poet, but Young America looks for the fishing-tackle in the store-window. It Is the sure sign. In a sporting-goods establishment In the city the window is tilled with fine rods and reels and nets and all that la beauty and ex pense. In the country store there are hooks and lines, and maybe one or two jointed rods, while outside the front door, leaning against the house, is a bundle of long bamboo poles. Many an honest angler will get out the old cigar-box, with its lines and hooks, veterans of mighty contests In the deep, and go to the woods, trusting in Prov idence to provide the sapling that shall make the fishing-pole. Anglers have been arbitrarily di vided into two classes those who use "rods" and those who use "poles." This is very wrong, for If the two shall meet on a riverside, and if they both shall be true to the sport, they shall be comrades in the soul, and no rules of cast shall keep them separate. For a long time the controversy has waged, away from the pools and riffles, whether the country boy with the alder pole Is superior or inferior as a sports man to the city chap with his fine tackle. Robert B. Roosevelt, an en thusiastic angler, said that the testi mony of elderly gentlemen to the con trary notwithstanding, the best tackle meant the best sport, If the angler knew his business. Eugene Field, a confessed "fireside fisherman," cham pions the pole as against the rod. He jang: Meld on Fireside Angler. When I Invade a pickerel bole Or seek a trouting brook, I'll take along an alder pole And use a limerick book. Of stylish tackle, fair to see, let modern sportsmen prate. But1 leava the modest bob to me. With angle worms for bait. And this is without reference to those expert anglors who think fly castlng the beginning and the end of the sport, for in April even the speck led beauty of the mountain brook will not rise to the lure of a fly, but must be tempted with a big, Juicy worm. Fishing begins in April in most of the fair dominion of the United States, and it Is in April that everybody wants to go, for then the trout and the black bass and the toothsome perch will all bit. Even if there be no fish, there will be air and young leaves and good exercise and a fine appetite. A man comes home a better man, morally and physically. Everybody knows that elongated fish stories are not charge able against one's morality. Fishing on Sunday. Is it right to go a fishing on Sunday? There are many men and boys, and some girls who do. In the cities where men and women cannot possibly get away from work and Indoors and coal soot at any other time, it isn't looked upon as Mich a sinful thing to do. But in the rural districts the Sunday fisherman is still tabooed. In a little country town In Missouri there Is a fisherman of wide re pute named Harvey Morrow. Harvey is a good Methodist and wouldn't think of doing anything against the rules of his church, but on a camping trip which lasts a month there will be Sundays, whether or no. Harvey was restless on a certain Sunday in camp and late In the afternoon was seen to steal away up the river with a Sunday school magazine In his hand. The boys followed him and found him oh. wicked man actually fishing. They hailed him with reproaches and he carefully raised his line. The hook was baited with a page from the 8unday school magazine. Harvey said he was giving the fishes a little spiritual instruc tion. He fished away for several hours with his religious bait, and came back to camp disgusted because he "didn't catch nothing but one onery Campbellite." Angling Is the oldest and best of the sports we know today. Bows and arrows aren't in fashion for hunting nowadays, but the fishhook is nearly as old as the arrow. IDven the artificial fly designed to tempt the fish to the top of the water is at. least as old as the Christian era. A writer In the second century describes the use In Macedonia of "red wool bound about a hook with two cock feathers" as n fly. Did Hooks on Angling. In English literature the first book on flshinc now extant Is the treatise aurau ted to Dame Juliana Berners, which waa printed In 149. four ycarR after Columbus discovered the Western World. Doubt has been cast by carping critics upon the authorship of the treatise. Just as doubt has been cast upon the autnorsnip oi Mh.ikesDc.irc s plays, but all true sports men love to believe that Dame Juliana Berners, prioress of the nunnery of Sop well, near 91. Albans, Is the mother of anglers, and really wrote the book which we know was printed In 1196. She couldn't spell. Dame Juliana couldn't, but she did know how to fish. In her "treatysse on fysshynge" she tells about the habits of various fish, the kinds of bait that tempt them, the weather that is good for fisher man and offers n.ucn aavice aooui mail ing rods, coloring lines, constructing floats and the like. As she quotes from older books, now lost, to prove ner con tentions, it may be that In angling, as In the rest of the life on this sphere, there K nothing new under the sun. Dame Juliana declares that It Is best to fish In the morning from 4 to S and in the afternoon from 4 to 8, resting at noon time To all this anglers will now agree. In our own time we have Grover Cleve land, who writes of fishing and state craft, and prefers fishing. He said "there can be no doubt that the promise of in dustrial pea or. of contented labor and of healthful moderation in the pursuit of w ealth, in this democratic country of qur. would be infinitely Improved if a large share of the time which has been devoted to the concoction of trust and business combinations had been spent in fishing." It was this same Mr. Cleveland who de fended the anglers from unkind attacks and demonstrated that a fisherman's word was always as good as gold, even when concerning the fish that got away just before he was landed. Angling is a true sport. Dame Berners said It was the beet of all "dispones. " and. like other true sports, it has a code of ethics. A true angler will not be wan ton In destruction of fish, he will not need lessly destroy young fish, and he will not descend to the level of slaying for the sake of slaughter. Thus when he angles for Mack bass and he catches three or four rock bass he Is put out. He isn't fishing for a number of fish, but for the pleasure of the fight with the kihg of game fishes. If he can catch black bass, the more the merrier. This is a code which binds only the grown-ups and vet erans, of course, for every boy Is an an gler and to him a fish is a fish, and all fish are good to add to "the string." Washington Great Fisherman. George Washington was an enthusiastic angler. "It is of record," said 'Sunset ' Cox, "that when the Pilgrims went to King James for their charter they said they desirud to go to the New World to worship God and catch fish." Daniel Webster composed his greatest oration knee deep In a trout stream. Henry Van LJyke nnufl Inspiration in a rod and line. Dr. George W. Bethune was our American Walton. These Americans come down In descent from an illustrious line of English anglers: Shakespeare, Sam Johnson, rare uen jonson, Spenser, Lamb, Pope, Scott, Burke, Davy and many more. I But greatest of them all is Father Isaak Walton, and next to him his son-in-an- gling. Charles Cotton. From the raodeet introduction ending with "I shall stay him no longer than to wish him a rainy evening to read this following discourse: ana that (If he be an honest angler) the east wind may never blow when he goes a-nsmng, until the close of the book, where the blessing is Invoked, "upon all that are lovers of virtue, and dare trust in Providence, and be quiet and go a-angling," there Is goodness and sweet ness and pure delight In the blessings of Nature for the reader of the "Compleat Angler." It sent Washington Irving to me woods as mad as Don Quixote. No man can read it and stay off the creek. True Fisherman Born, Not Made. But there be good fishermen who have never heard of Isaak Walton, and there be lovers of Walton who cannot catch fish. Prom Dame Juliana down to Grover Cleveland the angling writers have all agreed that the true fisherman Is, like a poet, born and not made. Possibly thev are right. Possibly one must be born to the art. But there Is a time of year when it isn't so. It is April now, and everybody wants to go a-flshing. Let it be perch or bass or lowly catfish, or a mere tiny sun fish there is ample reward In one fish for a day's tramp. "Nature hath endless as pects; to the angler she doth her beauties and her glories all unfold," said honest Charles Cotton nearly 300 years ago. And the American boy, yearning to discard shoes and stockings, digging bait in the back yard, knows the truth of it as well as the poet knew it, and the poet knew it Irom on high. "Let s go a-flshing!" Tomorrow Coins of the United States. TWENTY BUflNEOTO DEATH FIRE OVERTAKES ITALIANS IN THEIR SLEEP. Flames Sweep Through San Fran cisco Hotel and Walls' Fall on Trapped Inmates. SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. Twenty men were burned to death and 20 se riously injured in a fire which de stroyed an Italian hotel at Seventeenth and Connecticut streets in the Potrero district shortly after midnight this morning. The injured were of the laboring class and were asleep In their rooms when the fire started. Before they could be aroused the flames had spread through the building. The walls fell and the inmates were buried in the ruins, 20 being taken out dead and dying. People from other hotels in the vi cinity rushed to the assistance of the buried victims and succeeded In ex tricating all of them. It is believed, from the flaming timbers. Teams were hurriedly harnessed and automobleas brought Into service and the Injured were rushed to the Potrero Emergency Hospital, where several died while awaiting treatment. The small wards of the Potrero Hos pital were soon filled with the dead and dying victims of the fire. The scene was terrible, but in the midst of the suffering the surgeons worked calmly and swiftly over the charred victims.

FLEES THROUGH REAR DOOR Four Additional Jurors Secured in Ruef Extortion Case Judge Defeats Scheme of Ach to Secure Delay. BATTLE CREEK. Mich.. April 3. A. K. Detwiler, of Toledo, Indicted for bri bery at San Francisco, was located in a private residence here this afternoon, but escaped arrest by leaving the house by a rear door and was whirled away in an automobile five minutes before the de tectives called at the house to effect his arrest. It is thought Detwiler's destination was Belle Isle, 12 miles north of here, where he could catch a Grand Trunk train for Canada. FOUR JURORS ARE ACCEPTED Ach's Scheme to Weary Prosecution Defeated by Judge. SAN FRANCIS CO, April 3. Three of the first talesmen who will sit in the Jury-, box, subject to peremptory challenge, were passed by the prosecution and the defense as a result of the second day's proceedings in the trial of Abraham Ruef for extortion. They are: J. H. Dumbrell, a retail merchant; William D. Knight, cashier for a furniture firm, and Julius Meyer, a tobacconist, retired. J. R. Brad- street having been passed by both sides yesterday, four talesmen have now been temporarily selected. When this number has been increased to 12 they will be sub ject to peremptory challenge, the defense having the right to excuse ten Jurors per emptorily and the prosecution five. In all, seven panel men were examined today, four being challenged for cause and excused Angelo R. Duperu, a real estate man; William Cohen, a retired merchant; Donald McDonald, a wholesale liquor dealer, and ex-Supervisor John H. Shee han. The eighth talesman. Christian Reiss, capitalist, was given permission to ad dress counsel Just before the adjournment of court for the day. He stated that he was disqualified to serve as a Juror he cause of deafness, and that he was other wise physically unfit at this time to try a case. In substantiation he produced a physician's certificate. Both the defense and the prosecution paid a high compli ment to Mr. Reiss by expressing an earn est desire to have him on the Jury "if he thought he could hear the testimony," and the defense offered to accept him without examination as to qualifications. Mr. Reiss replied that It would be use less for him to attempt to serve. He was then excused. Judge Dunne knocked the Ruef scheme of delay to smithereens this morning by ruling that the attorneys for the prisoner shall not have the right to question the Jurors upon every Item regarding the graft oases that has been printed In any of the newspapers since the investigation began. Henry Ach announced yestedray that such was his Intention, and made no pretense to conceal the purpose of his plan, stating that a Jury could not be looked for much before Christmas. He had brought into court the heavy volumes of newspapers and files and purposed to read each item printed and then ask the' talesmen In turn If such publication in fluenced him or created bias against the prisoner. Judge Dunne this morning directed that such questions be not asked, and there is no reason why the jury should not be completed within another week. This morning Angelo R. Duperu was ex cused, and all the morning was occupied with the examination of J. H. Dumbrell. next on the list. Duperu was excused on challenge by Ach, who discovered that he had been at one time a member of the Citizens' Alliance. J. R. Bradstreet, who was accepted yesterday, exhibited a mar velous lack of knowledge respecting the Issues of the case, declared that he knew none of the people Involved, that he had never heard of the alleged extortion from the French restaurant man, and that, in fact, he had never had anything to do with a. French restaurant except on one occasion, when he called to dispose of a mess or nne, rat rrogs when they were selling at $175 a dozen. Mr. Langdon's examination of Dum brell was brief and along lines already Indicated. The examination by Mr. Ach, however, was very long. One of Mr! Ach's questions was: "Do you believe a man has the right to sell his influence in the- aid and assist ance of another, if he has influence?" Mr. Johnson objected to this as not a proper question. Ach retorted that it was. "It may be a live issue in this case," he said. The objection was sustained. Probe Telephone Company. SAN FRANCISCO, April 3. Further In vestigation into the bribery transactions of the Home Telephone Company was be gun when the grand Jury resumed its session this afternoon.
