NO TASTE OF TAR
IN GAS HOUSE FISH
Expert Admits Refuse May
Blacken Boats, But Insists
That’s All.
The taste of tar which fish caters
iaciare taints the meat of the finny
beauties caught in the waters near
the gas house exists only in the Imag
ination, according to an ultra scien
tific opinion given out by Mr. K. X.
Ezekiel. chemist of the water depart
ment. who has made a thnrougn
examination of the matter following
numerous complaints.
According to the complainants, re
fuse from the gas house flows Into
Utllles Creek, giving a dark unsightly
tinge to the hulJs of boats, and mak
ing fish unfit to eat.
Mr. Kseklcl admits that the re
fuse might easily blacken the hulls
of the river craft, but he says there
Is not enough tar to cause the fish
to become contaminated.
Mr. Ezekiel's opinion was sub
mitted to the committee on light Rt
a meeting of that body Wednesday
night, and was ordered Wed.

NOMORE PERAMBULATING
ON COWPASTURE RIVER
Xew Law Makes .Stream Private Property and Prohibits Tres
passing or Fishing—Law of 1822 Repealed by
' Lcgis lature.
Jr any man contemplates walking
on the surface of the Oowpaature
river, he had better think twice De
foro he does It, for be It known to
ail that placid stream entwining It
self cai cost ugly around the hills and
dells of Highland and Hath coun
ties Is no public highway.
Time was when the historic river
of the bovine grazing nomenclature
was a Public highway. There has
been a lot of time that It was a pub
lic highway—In tact, eighty-eight
years of time—but all that Is In the
past. The stream Is now as personal
and revered as the sacred ox of the
Kast. Yet even more sacred than
the stream are Its banks. If you
own no riparian rights along the
beauteous Cowpasture. 'twere best to
keep away from It.
On December 19, 1822, the legis
lature of Virginia declared the Cow
pasture a purine in*""".’.
Who would might tread all over Its
bolom and romp at will over Its
surface. At the latest session of the
; deneral Assembly—there Is no such
blessing as "the last session”—Dele
gate Stephenson, of Hath county, ln
I troduced a bill repealing the act of
1822. and after a hot light It was
passed. Farmers owning land Jut
ting out into the river may plant
i crops out on the peninsulas, turn
their cows to graze In the river, or
do anything they like. They may
also practice marksmanship on any
one who tries to walk on the river
' or on their riparian land. If you
don’t own land touching on or ap
! pertaining to the Cowpasture. you
! need not set your mouth for any fish
, from that stream.

NEW HAVEN, CONN.. June IS.—,
There was wailing and gnashing of
teeth among the members of the Yale
law school graduating class to-day.
The cause was the posted announce-,
roent by the law school faculty that
th!rty-thre< seniors, one-third of the
entire class, had flunked.
The men generally attributed their
failure to the stiff requirements for
graduation. They say that since Dean
Rogers has come to Yale the courses
and examinations have uniformly be
come too difficult for all but the
'•grinds.'' 1
The "busted" seniors can obtain
their diplomas only by passing further
examinations or taking the year’s
