I FISH FORETELL WARM
WATER SEASON ALONG
U. S. ATLANTIC SHORES
. ->Vi*«
j NEW YORK, July 7. (JP)—Veter
/ an fishermen cheer sea bathers this
’ season with word that this is appar
ently to be a “warm water” year in
shore.
j The rate at which cold >vatei
j mackerel have been passing this
j coast without making the usual stoi
and warm water bluefish have been
? flocking in is advanced as the basis
) for the forecast.
The ocean’s present heated fringe
along the coast, as indicated by the
predilection of these finny water
vanes, the one for cold, the other for
moderate temperatures, is still fur
ther borne out in the fishermen’s
i mind by conditions at sea. They
1 cite the recent contrast between
overcoat weather reported in mid
ocean by returning tourists and the
rising mercury found on approach
ing land.
While the migration of fish and
the behavior of the deep are largely
a matter of theory, practical anglers
admit they nevertheless explain the
present atmospheric condition by the
Gulf Stream. The signs at hand
show, they say, that the Gulf Stream
mixed this spring in sufficient quan
tity with the cold currents coming
down from the Arctic to moderate
the latter as they flowed down their
southen grooves. The condition is
therefore regarded as fundamental
and correspondingly permenent, in
sofar as Atlantic beaches are con
cerned this summer.
The fishing smack sharps first be
came convinced of this when mack
erel striking in off Cape May obvi
ously felt the heat and kept going.
Instead of idling up the Long Island
shore until about June 1 as is their
wont, it was found they continued
without pausing for breath to gain
more congenial deep sea chills off
Nova Scotia. Conversely, bluefish
and weakftsh began to move land
ward in response to the more at
tractive submarine clime.
Last year it was just the opposite,
fishermen recall. The Gulf Stream,
according to their theory, did not mix
| sufficiently with the Greenland wa
i ter. The result was that mackerel
| abounded in local fishing grounds all
I summer something never known be
| fore. Bluefish and weakfish wen
| commensurately scarce, and were
! only to be found, in fact, well ou
f at sea.
The Gulf Stream explanation of th<
3 periodic disappearances of various va
t rieties of fish apparently goes jus
? so far. Anglers say complete mys
tery surrounds some of the vagarie:
1
i
of “sea beef” in its moods and ac
tions.
'Some years ago mackerel wer
“lost” so completely for severa
years that the government establish
ed a closed season to tempt then
back. Now they are available i
abundance.
Bluefish have been “lost” off and o
since 1914, so much so that their ir
certain appearances disrupted a floui
ishing industry and largely cause
the present dispersal of bluefis
fleets.
Old fishing diaries treasured i
Fulton Market record that bluefis
disappeared in 1821 for forty year

EDITORS GO TO JAIL
UNDER CENSORSHIP
IMPOSED BY BRAZIL
RIO DE JANEIRO, July 7. (£>)—
A staff of censors has been distrib
uted among the local newspapers by
the Brazilian government in order to
prevent the publication of attacks
on President Arthu Bernardes and the
Brazilian government. An unoffi
cial statement secured at the foreign
office explained the move as a guar
antee for public order. “The public
at present is an easy prey to news
paper propaganda,” it was explained,
“and some Brazilian editors take un
justifiable advantages of the free
dom of the press. If the newspa
pers were not restrained, their con
tents would create a bad impression
about Brazil when read abroad.”
Editors say that most of the cut
ting is in copy dealing with adminis
tration policies and revolutionary
plotting.
The government’s power to stop
publication of an unfriendly newspa
per was checkmated recently by Oc
tavio Kelly, a judge of the federal
courts in Rio, who made a decision
when permits the reappearance of
the Correio da Manha, after a ban of
nine months. The newspaper was
closed last year shortly after the
revolutionists were driven out of the
city of Sao Paulo, and many of the
editorial staff have been in jail. The
owner and editor, Edmundo Bitten
court, escaped after seven months
and is now a political refugee at the
Chilean embassy. His son, part own
er and managing editor, has been
confined for nearly one year.
The decision of Judge Kelly was
based on the opinion that the closing
of a newspaper by the government
is a violation of the private proper
ty rights guaranteed citizens of Bra
zil by the constitution. The Bitten
court claims to have lost $200,00C
as a result of the ban against his
newspaper.
The city editor of O Jornal, an im
portant commercial paper of Rio de
Janiero, was arrested a few days ago
the day after the censor stopped the
appearance of a story dealing wit!
one of the candidates for the forth
coming presidential election.
