GAVE HIS FISH TO HIS MARRIED FRIEND .V ; ,: Swelling the list of piscatorial fables, Billy" ; McSwain, chief deputy United States marshal, got back yesterday from a fishing trip with a large story of his triumphs, but no fish. Hexeiplalned that fishermen often did this, and that it was considered quite correct in ang ling circles. This Is his story: "You will not believe tae when I tell you," he said, getting an assurtog chorus from hi auditors, "that I have fished in the same waters for three years, and some of the fish have eome to know me. Three years ago I caught a scrawny,. trout with crossed eyea. ' I took pity on It and threw It back. The' next yea I caught It several times and kept throwing .It back. Tester day l! caught that blamed fish 11 times. It ; not only ate up all my bait, but It kept ( other fish away.- : I caught 10 others ; and gave them to a married man who said he hadn't caught even one, and was afraid his suspicious wife would not b-,j lieve he had been fishing."

We desire to disabuse the minds of the publlo of any such impression; This oompany is at all times willing to comply with all lawful reguhvv tlons of Its service Imposed upon It by the duly constituted authorities. . We have opposed the adoption of the Nelson fender because of our belief that its adoption will not afford that measure of protection to the publlo which it is the desire of this company to give and the right of the, public to receive. We frilly believe that It is the desire of the Mayor and Council to adopt a fender that will give the maximum of protection, but, in our opinion. In adopting the Nelson . fender an error of Judgment has been made. , Duriag the last four years a great many different types of fender , have been tested on our cars under the supervision of the Council for the purpose of determining the best type of fender adapted to our serv- , ice. These tests have developed several' fenders which' we deem superior to the Nelson fender as life-saving devices. Twenty-one tests were made of the Nelaon fender and a record was kept of each of, said tests. A summary of the said tests is as follows: : In only thre of said tests was the automatic attachment used one test with a prostrate dummy at a speed of ten miles an hour. The : dummy passed under the fender, and the result would have been fatal Uto a human being. Two of said uuiiuiubb, ma cars tinviMiiig ii in miles an oour, ua resuiieu in im dummy being tripped up and head and body thrown against the front of the car, In one case, the head of the dummy struck the car with sufficient force to break the castlron frame of the headlight In both of these cases, the result would have undoubtedly been fatal to A human s being..".- ".-v .-- ,: Sixteen of the testa were nonautomatlc, that is to say, the fender was dropped by the . motorman. Two of the sixteen tests were with standing dummies and the balance with sitting or prostate dumrples.. Out of the sixteen tevta the fender finally picked up the dummy In "five oases. In eight testa It partially picked -up the dummy, dragging some portions of it In one test the fender falld to pick up the dura- reaching the wheels of the car or proved ratal to a numan oeing. two or the tests were .failures on ac count of the breaking of the fender. - - I It should be borne In mind that' the nonautomatlc tests depend en tirely upon the vigilance of tha motorman, and the results in thia char acter of tests were no more favorable than with the present fender on cars of this company similarly operated. . - m The Nelson fender has not. to our knowledge, been adopted by the municipal authorities of any other city, and we did not deem It wise to adopt an experimental device upon a system the size of that, operated In Portland. . It has not been demonstrated by the advocates of the Nelson fender thst It can be euccessfully operated in conjunction -with the several different types of airbrakes in use upon the cars of this company, al though the ordinance adopted by the Council reaulres the use of the Nelson fender on all cars equipped we nave oeen aovisea oy one or the largest, manufacturers or-air-r brakes that. In their opinion, it would be dangerous .to operate the fender lnconjunction with the airbrake. . The ordinance provides that all' cars operated with airbrakes shall also be equipped with the Nelson fender, We have found in practice that cars operating en heavy grades, such as the Portland Helghta cars, affOTd greater security to the publlo when equipped with magnetic brakes rather than with airbrakes, and all of our cars operating on heavy grades are equipped with magnetic brakes and not with air. And for such cars no type of fender Is provided by the ordinance. We have opposed the Nelson fender for the further reason that it vproJeots In front of the car, and. in our opinion, because of the narrow . streets and resulting sharp curves in Portland, . the sweep of the pro jected fender around curves would constitute a menace te pedestrians, and we have advocated the adoption of a type oT fender which is in use in the congested districts of New York, Chicago, and other large cities in the east, where similar conditions prevail. The fender we have advocated is free from the danger which we be- lieve to bo Inseparable from the operation of the automatlo -devices of the Nelson fender. The automatlo trip of the Nelson fender Is placed between three and four Inches in front of the fender, which runs at a height of about 10 Inches above the rail, and In the majority of cases, when striking a prostrate body, a portion .of-the body would, be'unler the fender before the tripping device acts. In such cases, when the tripping device , acts, the fender Is forced toward the track with a pressure of over one thousand pounds, with tbe result that the gortion of the body under the fender would be caught and crushed etween the moving fender above and the stationary ground below. We-consider this feature of the fender as a trap practically certain to produce fatal results. -y We wish the public to understand that our opposition to the adop tion of the Nelson fender has been in no wise influenced-by 'pecuniary considerations. We have simply endeavored with the aid of our ex perience, to advise and assist the Council in the selection and adoption of a life-saving device best adapted to the peculiar conditions of Port-' la.nd, and giving the greatest assurance of safety to the public, and have advised against the adoption of the Nelson fender solely for the reasons above mentioned, to-wlt; The Inefficiency of the fender as shown by the tests and by Its failure of adoption In other cities. . The positive danger in Its operation when used : automatically on prostrate forms. - The positive danger when striking persons in a standing position. The fact thaf it has not yet been proved possible to operate it in conjunction with automatic or straight air .emereency brakes In com-.' mon use, and the objection of the airbrake manufacturers to such use. The experimental stage of the device as shown by various breakages and changes in designs. ... Notwithstanding the difference of opinion between the Council and ourselves as to the merits of the fender prescribed by the ordinance, , we wish the tmbllc to understand that it is the rettled policy of this : joompany. so far ss it is possible to do so, to comply with all lawful and reasonable regulations imposed upon us by the duly constituted munici pal authorities.
