WHITE MAN '.''''''' j.. ,'
HAD TO GIVE UP
Jap Monopoly Fooled Bray Out
OF Honolulu Fishing
Trade.

Where is Bray. who had fish stall
number oneY''
A broad. very expansive grin covered
the faces OF a half dozen Jsps and
Chinese down in the Fishmarket. Busi-
ness stopped in all the stalls while the
yellow and brown men gathered around
to see who was asking for Bray. They
must have thought the reporter a sec
ond edition of Rip Van Wrinkle as Bray
had almost been forgotten. Then be-
tween loud outlaws and hearty laughs,
a Chinaman said:
"Blay--he no fish now. We too muchy
for him. No white face fisherman
here now. Blay go away on ship"
This was true. The lone Yankee
fisherman who endeavored to break in
H. the Chinese and Japanese monopoly
in the fishing business here had been
promptly squelched. Bray came here
with money, got fishing boats, employ
ed n steam launch and promised TO
shake things up generally in the fish
ing trade.
But the Jap monopoly which controls
ninety per cent of the fishing business
was too strong. Bray depended upon
kanakas to do his fishing and although
the native is a good fisherman the Jap
can walk all around him when 1t
comes to bringing in the fish cheaply.
Bray's men brought in but few fish and
these cost him much more than the
same class of fish cost the Jap. When
Bray had his fish on the stall the Japs
put the prices down 70 a ruinous level
and of course the lone American had
to drop his to the same point Then
Jap agents would quickly buy up his
supply and the price of fish on all the
Jap and Chinese stalls would go up at
once. Those who had become regular
customers of the American could not get
their supply after such a maneuver
and Bray would be unable to replensh
his stock by buying OF his brother"
Jap fish merchants. They absolutely
refused to sell to him at any price and
after a battle lasting some two months
he was compelled to give his scheme
up. .....
Yesterday nothing could be learned
OF Bray in his usual haunts except
that it was thought that he had gone
to Australia on the mail steamship
Moana.

ton would be repeated to him, and
then the answer was unsatisfactory and

In spite of tn" manifest attempt of

the other hand. If the cook was d party
to the murder, viii not by any sign

that OTTO was even remotely connected
with the crime.
Aside from the contradictory testi-
mony of the cook and the statement
of the alleged murderer, yesterday
proceedings We're not sensational.
CAPTAINS WIFE BREAKS DOWN.
Mrs. jacobson was the first witness
called at the opening of the morning
session. She testified simply that she
was the wife of the murdered captain,
telling also his full name. When Mr..
Brcckons turned TO the defendant and
asked n he had any questions to ask,
Mrs. Jacobson turned also and broke
into tears crying "Oh Tom" az she saw
the Jap. He calmly said that he had
no questions TO ask and the witness
was excused.
SECOND MATE TESTIFIES.
John Nelson, second mate, was the
next witness. He told OF how the cap
tain had come to him and complained
that the cabin boy wanted to sleep
right up to breakfast time, but he
made no threats. "a little after six
O'clock" continued the witness, Il went
to the donkey room for oil. Louis
Samuel was with me, and as he looked
down the steps, he said Good God.

The clothes wc IN by the captain were
then introduced in evidence and iden-
tiued piece by piece by the witness,

to say is. that deny the kill
ing of the captain" This
was the explicit statement of Taubara
Gisaburo, the japanese VINO is charged
with the murder of Captain Jacobson
of the Fred J. Wood" at the CON
clusion of the second day of the
preliminary hearing before l.. S. Com
missioner Gill yesterday afternoon. The
remark was occasioned by the testi-
mony of First Mate Meyer in contra
diction to the statement of Oto deny
ing having seen the crime, the mate
stating that the cook vas the first man
to call out Cabin boy kill captain"
The denial of Gisaburo will be fol-
lowed this morning by a statement
he will be held to await the action of
the October grand jury without bond.
Following the examination before the
commissioner yesterday. the alleged
murderer talked freely through an in
terpreter to United States Attorney
Breckons and Deputy Marshal Handy.
To them he said that the killing of
the captain Was wholly accidental.
When he came down TO the galley, ac-
cording to his story, the captain grab
bed him. He (the captain), had a knife
t. tic No.. Nl.,y
and fell to the ground, the knife in
some unaccountable way striking the
captain in the groin and causing in
slant death. Gisaburo asserted also
that he HAD been abused by the captain
and beaten, but that he did not inhict
any injury upon him in the fight. the
knife wounds being all of them"acci-
dentally self inflicted by Captain
jacobson.
The story of the Jap is wholly i'm
probable from the nature of the
wounds, and If he goes on the stand to-
day to make a statement, the improb-
ability of the story VIII doubtless be
shown on cross-examination. Gisaburo
announced yesterday that he wished
. TO make a statement and If he is still
DESTROYS of doing so this morning, he
will be given an opportunity and al
lowed to take the stand in his own be-
half. The above brief story will be his
defense unless he changes considerably
from the statements made to United
States officials yesterday after the
hearing.
THE COOK OTTO.
Otto the cook, against whom sus-
picion had been directed as the in
stigator of the crime. was on the stand
for the greater, part Of the day, and
he became involved in net work of
contradictory statements. Through II
all, however. ana though his intention
10 aid his fellow countryman was plain
~ evident. he managed to keep his
own skirts clear. Time and again he
was caught In falsehood and though
cleverly evading questions. his con-
Trajectory answers clearly showed that
he was not telling the whole truth.
