"Let there not be a long flow of oratory,
but let there be action." shouted the chair

volley of cheers.
Rising from a chair In the midst of the
Gathering, Chevalier C tC. A. Bald!, the
prominent banker, drew from his pockets
fle one-hundred-dollar bills The display
of the money as It was handed to the
chairman brought forth a terrific din.

he addressed his countrymen In n passionate
speech ho pulled from his vest pocket a
heavy gold watch and chain These ho
flourished In his right hand and with his
left ha drew $25 In bills from another
pocket.
Shouts of admiration had hardly died
down when, In another part of the hall,
there arose Angelo Cusano, of 1610 South
Seventeenth street He, too, tugged at his
watch and chain and, vividly picturing the
needs of the widows and orphans, he placed
his belongings on the chairman's table.
Then, as men brimming oer with the
enthusiasm characteristic of their race
leaped from their ihairs with money, checks
and trinkets, there was a rusii to build up
the pile of valuables L. A. Magazza, of
17 South Sixteenth street, wrote his check
for $100 He had hardly acknowledged Its
receipt when another $100 check was handed
In by Frank di Berardlno, tho banker.

FISHERIES APARTMENT
MAY AT LAST GET CASH
License Bill by Albee to Be on
State House Calendar
This Week
By a Staff Corrttponitnt
HAItRISnuna. May 30.
For the ftrBt time In Its history the Penn
sylvania Department -of Fisheries seems to
have a chance to obtain a sufficient revenue
to carry on the work required of It by the
laws of the State. The fisherman's license
bill Introduced by Representative Albee will
be on the calendar next week,
It was amended at the retjuebt of the
TJHd Life League of Pennsylvania so that
the farmer fishing from hla own land and all
Vomen and all children under seventeen
years of age were exempted from Its pro
visions. The revenue Is continuously ap
propriated for the purpose of propagating,
Planting and protecting fish and cleaning the
streams. The license fee for residents la
x4 at $1 and for nonresidents at - j0.
The State Fisheries Department will be
able, if the bill passes, to run Its hatcheries
at full capacity, enlarge some of them and
provide an adequate warden service for
the 10,000 miles of fishing etreamc in the
rotate.
