TO SAVETHE FISH
Warden Curtis Wants Present
law Amended.
Would Hare Sale of Kansas Fish
Prohibited.
HARD TO GET PltOOF.
Must See Man Use Spear Before
He Can Be Arrested.
Stringent Laws With Reference
to Dynamite and Seines.
If D. S. Curtis, deputy state game
warden, has his way the "game hogs"
of Kansas will have to bury their
fishing spears, their nets, their blast
ing outfits and their traps until they
have decayed In the ground, and then
If they refuse to make gentlemen of
themselves they will bo sent to the
penitentiary and serve out the maxi
mum penalty.
Mr. Curtis is In the city today talk
ing to members of the legislature and
he is here In the interests of the little
and the large fish who are swimming
under the ice in Kansas streams to
day looking with suspicious eyes at
the dark forms that sneak around ov
er the roors of their domiciles. There
Is something that appeals to the bet
ter nature of mankind when a man
of Mr. Curtis' ability spends his time
day and night roaming around over
the country, plodding all night along
the winding rivers and damp creek
beds looking for the beasts who call
themselves human beings and who cut
holes In the ice to drive the swarms of
fish to a creek or river bend and then
spear them with heartless hand.
Heartless Fisherman Ways.
' Mr. Curtis has just returned from
a week's hunt along the southern
Kansas streams and he has found the
( cruel holes in the ice and he has
found the game hogs with their fish
speared and bleeding, but the law does
not allow him to deal with the men
when they do not have the tools in
their possession.
The manners and means of these
"sportsmen" who spear fish in the
winter time all over the state is
enough to appeal to the legislature
and cause some action to be taken by
them for a remedy. The average fish
erman of this kind works in far away
places on the creeks and rivers over
the state. Sometimes he works in the
night time by torch light. He does
anything to get away from the law
and from the wardens who are always
on the lookout but who are absolutely
unable to cover the territory that the
fishermen do. They start at a point
In the river and pounding the ice they
drive the fish in swarms up the river
to the point where the slaughter takes
place. When the swarms have been
corralled and the fish have been cor
nered these men drop their spears in
to the water and as fast as they can
extract them they pull the flopping
struggling fish from the water and
throw them into a sack in preparation
for market. Then the spears are care-,
fully hidden and the fish are piled in
to wagons and taken to the towns for
sale.
There is not an ounce of sporting
blood in this class of game- hog. They
rob the Kansas streams of their In
habitants for the pure purpose of mak
ing money and the whole thing with
them is a cold blooded money mak
ing proposition. Like all evaders of
the law they sneak and sk.lk dur
ing their work and when they meet
the wardens they falsify and do any
thing to hide their guilt. It Is for the
annihilation of such a class of men
and for the protection of the fast dis
appearing fish in Kansas that Mr. Cur
tis Is working today and he has a
thousand followers in the state whose
idea. are mutual and who are aching
for some law that will deal at once
with these men who are taking an ad
vantage of an opening in the law and
exterminating the careful labors of
the fish wardens.
Wants Law Oianged.
Mr. Curtis' idea is to have the law
changed in such a way that it will not
be necessary for the production of the
tools and weapons of the "fish hogs" in
order to make the evidence sufficient
for conviction. His idea is to amend
the present law by making it possible
to convict a man who has speared fish,
who has been caught With the fish upon
him and who sells them at market.
This resembles the regular game law
and would require the same action on
the part of the officials who are trying-
to preserve the game in the state
and keep it from utter extermination.
He would have the sale of fish pro
hibited entirely for five years.
The present law reads that the only
lawful way to fish is with a rod and
Aline and fish hook, a hand line or a set
T-Slne. But every year there are thou
sands of pounds of fish caught in the
state by men who patrol the streams
with nets, traps, and dynamite. It is
almost impossible for the small boy to
bend a pin and dig up a worm to ob
tain his fun like in the times when
Whltcomb Riley was making history.
And the average business man who de
sires to stop his work and with the rod
and reel spend a quiet day on the creek
or river bank has given up his pursuits
until he can travel to foreign streams
and hook fish. This does not mean
that the streams of Kansas are losing
their stock of fish to such an alarm
ing degree but the general influx of
"fish hogs" who make it a business to
catch the fish has spoiled the sport of
the man who fishes because he likes it
the man who feeds ten times as many
fish as he catches and who throws
them back in the stream before he goes
home because he hates to clean them
ad the fish are none the worse for the
xperience. Fishing in Kansas has
grown to be a business proposition and
the recreative scent has been pushed to
other lands. There are streams In Kan
sas today that are alive with craw
dads and water snakes while the fish
cuddle under some protecting root
'waiting for the hourly passage of the
deadly seine and the daily shock of the
little brown jug filled with lime. But
the fish of Kansas are going to have
their defenders. This line of defense
Is going to be under the charge of Dep
uty Warden Curtis whose footsteps on
the banks of Kansas streams are a
signal for celebration and recreation
among the citizens of Flnville.
Sir. Curtis' Remedy.
The FYiend of the Fish, in an inter
view -with a. State Journal reporter to
day, has some excellent Ideas stored
away for the annual plea before the
legislature and they are bound to re
ceive a respectful attention from the
law makers. His proposed rules for
fishermen are as follows:
From the passage of the law until the
end of five years it would be a crime
to sell any flBh to a market procured
tfroxn local waters. It would be allow-

able to spend a Sunday on the creek
and dangle the hooks among the tree
limbs and feed the fish but It would
be absolutely contrary to the law to
catch fish for any other purpose than
pleasure or food. A sale of them would
place a man in grave danger of convic
tion. After this five years had passed
there would be a limit on the amount
of fish caught. No one man would be
allowed to pull more than 25 pounds
from the Kansas streams. Mr. Curtis
suggested these laws in connection with
the snear amendment which would pro
vide for the right to arrest a man who
had speared fish in his possession or
who attempted to sell fish that had
been killed or caught in this manner.
The result of such amendments as
suggested by the deputy fish warden
can be readily seen, in nve years tne
streams in Kansas would be completely
restocked with fish and when the season
opened again at the end of five years
the oldest of weedy bank fishermen
would laugh at their former tales of
wonderful deeds performed with the rod
and line. Fish develop very rapidly and
in a few years without the continual
drain from the "fish hogs'" and the cold
blooded annihilation from the dealers
they would fill the "holes" of the small
est stream and make the small school
boy and the tired out business man live
in dreams and happiness.
This fish situation In Kansas is no
dream. The wardens are not spending
their time these cold days and nights
searching along the Kansas streams for
fun. They are doing their best to cor
rect the evil but when they attempt to
enforce the law without the benefit of
the law they have an Impossible duty
to perform.
Kansas streams are naturally the
homes of the best good old-fashioned
"gamy" fish in the world and a holiday
on the bank of a Kansas stream is
worth a hundred days in the cool hills
of a summer resort. But without pro
per legislation Kansas will lose her fish.
lose her valuable streams, lose her
sportsmanlike men and the water
snakes and "craw-dads" will take pos
session of the one time resort of the
men who appreciate what the Maker has
given.
