BIGGEST BEARS IN THE WORLD
N Experienced Hunter Has Been
Sent to Alaska to Get Specimens
for the Government.


!HF The biggest bears in the world are
TO be found on Kadiak island, in the
@tiulf of Alaska, south of the great
4 shoulder of the territory that
stretches out into the Pacific; and DR.
Frank Baker, of the Smithsonian In
-stitution has sent Elwood Hofer, a
well-known guide and hunter of the
Yellowstone park, to catch one OF
more of those great monsters for the
National Geological park, says the Chi
cago Record. The Kadiak bears are OF
the polar breed, perfectly white, with
long, heavy fur, and at full growth
are twice as large as the black bear
of the Rocky mountains, weighing
from 2,40O to 5000 pounds, and stand
ing as high as an ordinary COW; and
SO are the biggest carnivorous animals
living. The tracks they leave in the
snow have often measured IS inches
long and ten inches wide. They are
very savage, and fight desperately
when attacked. Several have been
Killed, and the skins have been
Brought to this country, but no Ka-
diak bear was ever captured alive.
81 DR.. Carlton II. Bean, the fish expert,
'fwho is in charge of the department OF
fisheries at the Paris exhibition, while
making an exploration of the fishing
Resources of Kadiak island last year,
saw good many of these bears, and
describes them in graphic terms. He
says that while climbing a rocky hill
one day he saw a large drove of them
near the coast running about and play
ing like SO many lambs. There must
have been $50 or 200 in the bunch, he
says, and some of them We're enor-
nous.
Elwood Hofer takes with him to
/. Kadiall trap which he mas used with
great success in catching wild animals
in the Yellowstone. The trap itself
weighs about three tons, and is sent
in sections to Kadiak, where Hofer
will take it into the interior, set it
up and bait it with honey or a pig, if
the latter can be obtained. Bears are
uncommonly fond of pork, and pig
when imprisoned in a trap makes a
demonstration which attracts the at
tention of the bears at a longer dis
tance than the odor of the honey.
The bear is usually a very shrewd
animal, but those on the Kadiak are
unsophisticated and unfamiliar with
the tricks of the white man, so Hofer
thinks they will walk into his trap
without hesitation, and when they get
in there once there is no possible way
for them to get out. He expects to
catch several of the monsters, but pre-
fers young ones, because they are
more easily acclimated in new coun-
try and can be more readily handled
than those that are full grown. He
expects to have difficulty in getting
the animals away from the island, be-
cause there are no docks or landing
places, and a steamer is compelled to
anchor out some distance from the
shore, so that the bears will have to
embark in canoes. If the water is
calm he may be able to float them over
to the side of the vessel on raft and
hoist them to the deck with sling.
Hofer is a man of ingenuity and
great resource, and the Smithsonian
people are quite sure that he can get
q. Kadiak bear down here if anybody

DEADLY HACKS
Another Manned Victim
Yesterday.
Driver Of Number Thirty-0ne Order
ed off the Stand by the
Inspector.

An old man was knocked down and
partly run over by hack No. 81 yes
terday afternoon while he was crossing
Union street to the makai side OF Ho-
eel. The mack, so witnesses say, came
into Union street considerably faster
than the legal rate or speed allowed
and, before the victim was conscious
of mis- danger. the reckless driver had
hung him 10 earth. A survey OF re-
suits disclosed a lacerated ankle and
a bruised shoulder, the mans coat be-
ing ripped, and he was covered with
dust and mud.
Hack Inspector Ferreira was on the
scene when the accident occurred and
forcibly denounced the hackman for
his carelessness, and ordered the hack
and driver away from the hackstand
at that place. The injured man was
told to 90 to a physician and have his
wounds dressed at the expense of the
reckless driver. That more such acct
dents have not occurred in the business
section of Honolulu is due mainly to
the fact that pedestrians traversing
street crossings have been extremely
alert. This cannot be said of hack
drivers in general.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter
counted twelve out of sixteen hacks
crossing the intersection Of King and
Fort streets without any perceptiD,e
attempt to lessen their speed, which,
to say the least, amounted to more
than the maximum allowed by law.
Four out of eight of the same class OF
vehicles swerved around various cor
ners of the above intersections and, in
almost every case, the lives of pedes-
TRANS were endangered. In one IN
stance a lady and two children were
almost run down, but by forcing her
| two charges back to the sidewalk the
| former barely escaped being impaled
upon a sharp-pointed shaft.
In Chicago, New York, st. Louis
/ and. in fact, in almost any city OF met
ropolitan aspect, a policeman stands In
the center of street intersections in the
busy portions, and woe beude the
driver of any vehicle who endeavors to
pass over the crossings at a speed
| greateS than a walk. The policeman
upraised arm confronting a driver sig
nifies the law, and it Is hardly neces-
sary to state that nearly every driver
in such cities respects the meaning Of
the gesture.
With accidents happening so fire.
auently of late in this city in whicf
hacks have figured so prominently th'
time seems ripe for Honolulu to reg
alate fast driving and enforce the law
. Of the road with rigid hand.
