SAW THE ROBBERY
And Had a Rifle but Was Afraid
to Use 1t.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Feb. 13.-The large
general store of S. K. Randall. at
Avilla, a village north of here, was en-
tered by burglars early today. The safe
was blown open with dynamite and $500
cash and a large amount in notes were
taken. David Shanline, a barber, re-
turned from sleigh ride with a young
lady while the robbers were at work,
and discovered them in the store. He
was captured and bound in the store,
where he was kept until the job was
completed. A hotel keeper across the
street saw the cracksmen at work and
got his rifle, but being without assist
ance forebore to interfere. The safe, q
massive affair, was completely wrecked
by the explosion. There were five of
the robbers, and what direction they
took is not yet known.

Who Take Their Places.

Florence, Colo, Feb. 13.-The trouble
between the Victor Fuel company and
miners employed at their coal mines
at Chandler, near this city. eliminated
in an attack on Japanese miners who

drove the Japanese out of the camp.
The affair occurred after meeting OF
strikers at which it was decided to send
an ultimatum to the Victor Fuel COM

Japanese. A report was circulated in
the meeting, which was largely at
tended, that two hundred more Japa-
nese were on their way to the Chandler
mines. and this so enraged the strikers
that they decided at once to rid the
comm unity of the Japanese. The at
tack occurred about midnight and 1t

seriously hurt, although the Japanese

POLITICIANS HIT.

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The Presi-
dent has issued an order prohibiting
the exercise of outside influence in Sc
curing promotions in the CLASSIFIED
civil Service. The order is an amend
ment to rule IL of the Civil Service
Code and is as folows
mo recommendation for the promo
ton of any employe in the classified

flee concerned in making promotions
except it be made by the officers or Of
ficer under whose supervision or con-
troll such employee is serving, and such

proposed, and a repetition of the Of
Tense shall be sufficient cause for re-
moving him from the service"
President Proctor of the Civil Ser
vice Commission stated that, while
this rule met the hearty approval Of

with them, but with prominent mem
bers of Congress- who had gone to the

ritory shall begin suits to condemn
them, and the owners thereof shall be
reimbursed from the treasury of the
Territory. This would have meant
two hundred thousand dollars or more
to be paid out by the Territory for
fishing rights in order to comply with
the provisions of the Organic Act
abolishing private fishing rights in
ocean waters. The fish ponds, or any
rights not in sea waters, are not af-
fected by the decision given.
A. G. NJ Robertson, who appears for
the Territory i'm the fishing rights cas-
es, stated this morning that every eff
fort would be made to get two cases
before the Supreme Court as soon as
possible. The Waialae case of the
Bishop Estate follows that Of S. NJ.
Damon. This is one of the cases in
which there is no such grant as was
declared insufficient yesterday. The
plaintiffs in these cases depend upon
their konohiH rights. +. NJ. Hatch,
counsel for Damon, yesterday fell back
upon his claim in presenting his argu-
ment opposing Robertsons motion for
a non-suit, but as the court granted
the non-suit it is taken as a decision
in favor of the contentious of Robert
son. This is to the effect that the llo-
nohiki rights were merely statutory
privileges, which terminated when the
statute under which they were held
was repealed by the Organic Act.
The Supreme Court will convene
again at the end of this month, when
the matter may be taken up

SEA FISHERIES
ARE STILL OPEN
RIGHTS WORTH OVER
$2OO,OOO DECLARED PUBLIC
PROPERTY.
ANY CITIZEN MAY FISH IN ALL
SEA WATERS.
Important Decision That Will Be APP
pealed-Territory Saves Money-Pri-
vate Parties Lose Heavily.

Under Judge Humphreys decision
yesterday in the case of S. NJ. Damon
against the Territory, practically all
the sea-fishing rights in Hawaii, if not
all, are open to every citizen of the
United States. Judge Humphreys nom
suited the plaintiff on the ground that
his title to the land, under which the
fishing right was claimed, did not con-
Yey tishing right, and on the further
ground that the general konChiki
rights are not vested rights at all. The
matter will be taken to the Supreme
Court at once.
If Humphreys is sustained in this
most important ruling, rs private fish
ing rights, valued at several hundred
thousand dollars, are suddenly become
public property. There can be no ex-
Guiding the public from any of the sea
areas set apart, many of them since
before the Kamehamehas, as pri-
vate fishing grounds. Anyone is free
to go and catch mullet or any other
fish, in any sea water about the ISL
ands.
The fishing right involved in yester-
days suit, that of Damons Moanalua
property, is one of the most valuable
in the Islands. 1t is worth about S15,-
600, bringing In an annual rental of
81, 300. Most of the rights are Of much
less value, but few if any are worth
less than thousand dollars.
incidentally, the Territory is saved a
large sum of money If the ruling of
yesterday is good law, at the expense
of the owners of fishing rights. The
Organic Act provides that as soon as
hshing rights are established, the Ter

ANDREE'S FATE,

WINNIPEG (Man), July 5.-Rev.
DR.. Ferries, a Church of England
clergyman, arrived from New York
Factory, Northwest Territory, today
and brings authentic information Of
the fate of the explorer Andree and his
companions. Two years ago, 1900
miles north of York, party of Esqui.
mauX, under the leadership of "Old
husky" saw the Andree balloon alight
On plain of snow in that vicinity
which is about two miles north of Fort
Churchill. Three men emerged from
the balloon, and some of Huskies
people approached out of curiosity. AS
they did so one of Andree's compan-
ions fired off a gun.
This is the signal to uncivilized peo-
pie for battle. 1t is regarded as a chal-
lenge, and almost instantly the natives
fell upon the three explorers and mas
sacred Them. Everything pertaining
to their outfit was carried away to the
homes of the natives on the northern
borders of the Arctic region.
"Old Huskie" himself gave this in
formation to Ralph Alstine, agent for
the Hudson Bay Company, and the
story after being investigated by DR..
Ferries, was told by him today. He
says that there is little room for doubt,
as freque mt reports have since come of
strange implements which the north
ern natives have in their possession,
a telescope being particularly describ-
ed.
