TO DESTROY THE FISH.

II the bill introduced into the Senate
by Senator j. Brown OF Hllo relating
to the Hawaiian fisheries. Is passed, the
industry in these waters will suffer a
blow which years OF careful labor and
diligence on the part OF the local and
Federal authorities can hardly repair
Senator Brown desires to have the
law against the use OF explosives In
the fishing preserves repealed and TO
give all free license to kill, mutllate
and destroy fish of every size, from the
spawn to the largest species OF the
flnny tribe.
The section he refers to is 1862 and
reads as follows:
mo person shall use giant powder or
any other explosive In taking fish
within or upon any harbors, streams,
REEFS OR WATERS within the Juris-
diction OF this Republic"
Senator Brown seeks to have the
words reefs and waters" repealed.
This done, only the harbors OF Oahu
and the few streams running into the
sea can be secured from the destruc-
tive japanese.
AS most of the fishing Is done within
the reefs or waters" OF the Islands,
II can easily be seen what damage
might be done to the food supplies OF the
population. The persons who will be
most hurt by the destruction Of fish are
the native Hawaiians. Allow the Jap
anese fisherman to explode his cart
ridges of giant powder within the reefs
and the stomachs of the Hawalians
will, within a very short time, grow
hungry.
There is fine opportunity for the
local society for the preservation Of the
fish industry to get in its work and. If
possible. induce the Legislature to re-
ject the Brown bill.
The United States Fish Commission
is about to send its representatives to
the Islands to survey their coasts and
the fish which inhabit the
waters and there is no doubt but that
the Federal authorities would have
to say regarding this undi-
2ested measure.

CESS|ON TO
GOVERNMENT

Governor Dole yesterday officially

in the name of the Territory of Hawaii,
all buildings and premises occupied by
the customs department at the ports of
Honolulu, Oahu. and Kahului. Maui.

gated yesterday afternoon is published
in this issue as a by Authority" and
forever quiets the friction which &C.
Cured between the Federal and Terri
torial authorities over the question Of
ownership.
The custom house lot in Honolulu is
described as follows: From a point on
the southeast side Of Fort street, 1876
feet from the Esplanade, the boundary
runs northeasterly along Fort street 300
feet to Allen street. southeasterly along
Kekuanaoa street 200 feet; thence
northwesteriy 200 feet to the starting
point, including an area Of 10000 square
feet.
The custom lot at kahului Is describ-
ed as follows: From a point on the
south corner Of Front street and the
Government road and contains $3.50
square feet.
The transfer is made under the fol-

laity, of all faiths, have "A right to ask

think that member OF the Episcopal

REAL ESTATE PRICES.

About a year ago the Advertiser ven
tured to say that the price Of real es-
tate in Honolulu had gone much too
high and that the inevitable result
would be TO diminish sales and check
the growth of the city. Though Homo
lulu Is far from being a metropolis. .ots
can be bought in the suburbs of san
Francisco, close to Golden Gate park
for less money than similar properties
can be had in the suburbs Of this
town. Such condition we then re-
gardcd as abnormal and we are glad
to see that financiers like Mr.. Lloyd
of the German Savings and Loan As
soCiation agree with us. leader
of the Shriners, man of general bust
ness experience, says the same thing.
We have had and are still having
real estate boom. 1t differs from the
late Southern California boom only in
that ii makes no use of brass bands
and but little use of loud-voiced auC-
tioneers. It's genesis was in the pleth
ora of money here which enabled rich
men to buy at any price, careless of the
so long as they got what
they wanted, and in the Sanguine eX
pectation of the public that Honolulu
would become a great city. Perhaps
the latter assumption is true; but it
Is also true that, in proportion as the
price of land increases, the attractions
of given city to homeseekers de-
crease. II Is a bad thing for an eX
pectant town whom man of moderate
means cannot buy homestead; and
when real estate offers a greater GER
tainty of being lower than higher in
price in the long run. The experience
of California goes to show that, when
real estate prices reach a point which
sober Judgment knows to be unwar
ranted the population becomes station
arr or begins to recede. Are we APP
that status in Honolulu?

W0MEN'S CLUB FEDERATION.
To Meet in Boonton Thursday, May
is, for a Social Time.

The spring meeting of the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs will be held on
Thursday. May 16, at Boonton, Morris
County. The date was fixed at the meet
ing of the board of directors held Mon
day in the rooms of the Working Girls
Club of Newark. Although there was
some talk ON probable programme,
nothing further than the date and the
topic of the day were finally decided.
Our Women Workers is to be the gem
eral theme for talk and discussion at this
spring meeting, which as in former years
will partake more of a social and literary
character than business one, since no
officers are elected nor are there any re-
ports to be submitted.
The programme has been left in the
hands of a committee, of which Miss
Mecum, of Salem, is chairman. Miss Jen-
kins, of Boonton, is a member of the COM
mittee and will make the arrangements
for the entertainment of the guests at
Boonton, particularly pretty place. The
board of managers and the speakers will
be entertained at the expense of the
Boonton elubwomen, while a light lunch
will be furnished the delegates for a small
sum. The session will probably begin at
about IL o'clock, and with an intermission
for luncheon, will continue until sometime

BARNES STRIKERS DEFIANT
Mill Supplied With Men-Nc
Change In Yesterdays
Situation.

1t now seems certain that the strike of
the employees of the Barnes Manufac-
turing Company's sash, door and blind
factory on West Side avenue, Jersey City,
will be one of the most prolonged trade
difficulties experienced since the organi-
zation of the Building Trades Council
of Hudson County, with which the lock-
ed-out employees are affiliated.
Both sides are determined not to give
in, and each has rejected all offers of ar
bitration, with the result that the strike
is as far from a settlement as when it
began over three weeks ago. The strik-
ers declare they can hold out Indefinitely
with the aid of the allied industries. On
the contrary the representatives of the
Barnes Company insist that the strike
no longer affects work at the mill, as all
the men needed to fill the strikers places
have been obtained.
Up to noon today there has been no
change in the situation at the mill. The
strikers pickets are still on duty, and
follow all material to wherever it is ship
ped, so that the business agents can be
informed when it is necessary to call to
affiliated industries from job. The
number of policemen on duty in the
neighborhood of the mill has been re-
duced There has been little call for the
service of the police, as no trouble that
could be traced to the strikers has oc-

A eRuEsoME HAUL
Morgue Keeper Has to Recover Body
Under Ice All Winter.

The morgue keeper of this city had one
of the most unpleasant experiences OF ms
rife late last night Some one who was
out rowing on the Hackensack River,
near the Penitentiary dock at Snake Hill,
Yesterday afternoon, discovered body
beneath the ice. The police were notlhed
and subsequently the morgue keeper
learned of the matter. The spot is re-
mote from any dwellings and this COM
bined with the darkness made the task
of recovering the body most gruesome
one. The locality is without the limits
of the Jersey City morgue. Freeholder
Moran requested the morgue keeper to
get the body and he would see that the
keeper was paid for the trip.
Mr.. Griffiths and an assistant went az
ter the body. They had to work with
lanterns. 1t took them over an hour and
a half to reach the desolate spot. There,
almost wholly beneath the ice, was the
body. 1t was necessary to break the, ice
for some distance around the dead man,
and this was dangerous work. The body
when hauled out was in terrible condi-
ton. 1t was badly discolored. The face
was partly gone, doubtless eaten away
by the fishes 1t is beyond recognition.
Mr.. Griffiths is of the opinion that the
body has been in the water all winter.
The clothes are dark and plain. Judging
from the personal effects, the man was

CAN'T GET THEIR MONEY
Grand Jury investigates the
Commercial Building and
Loan.

The Grand Jury yesterday considered
the manner in which business has been
conducted by the Commercial Building
and Loan Association, the main offices
of which are located at No. 224 Market
street, Newark.
The complaint which led to the Grand
Jury's investigation of the affairs of the
association was made by Branch Jersey
City, No. 1, an auxiliary body composed
of about fifty residents of Jersey City,
which was organized over three years
ago.
The branch charges that it was organ
ized under what is known as Glass D,
which, according to the central body S
bylaws, provided that shares on which
a monthly premium of 81 was paid would
mature in ten years at 5000 each. This
clas also carried with it an insurance pol
icy, which contained a provision that
after member had paid premiums for
three years he could withdraw the prin-
cipal with interest at six per cent, if he
so desired.
In October last sixteen members of the
Jersey City branch decided to withdraw
under this provision. They notified the
central organization in Newark, and say
that they have since been unable to OBJ
tain their money, although they have re-
ceived many promises of the same.
The only witnesses examined at yester-
days session of the Grand Jury were
George Worthington. secretary of the
central body, and Miss Blair, clerk in
the Newark office. Both gave testimony
at length on the system under which the
association was working.

Mrs. Mary Hudspeth-Benson, who until
recently was chairman of the Town In,-

to provide shelter for passengers at the

company has promised to erect shelter
there. Mr.. John Kaiser, who has a lease
of the triangular corner for four years
more, means to hold on until that time
expires unless good inducements are Of

shelter being erected around the store.
