Is made the woman takes the kicking
fish out Of the basket, lays them on the
stones and kills them by striking them
just back OF the neck with a club One
OF the most common fishes sold in Ma
Mia Is round sunfish not bigger than a
25-cent piece. In the southern Islands
fish OF gold and ruby and other brilliant
colors are common.
FISH TRAPS AND FISHERMEN.
All Of the Fllipinos are excellent fish
ers and fish trappers. They catch fish
with hooks, they seine them out In
great nets and entice them into traps OF
all shapes and sizes. The rivers are
filled with fish traps, lfbyrlnthme net

swim and cannot find their way out.
All along the coast Of the Islands YOU
see great fish corrals. fenced In with
bamboo canes woven together with rat
tan, so set that they are below the
water at high tide. The fishes swim
In and when the tide falls they cannot
find their way out, Then the men come
and SCOOP them up In dip nets, killing
the larger ones with their spears. ,ihcy
have also small fish traps bamboo bar
rels which are not unlike lobster traps.
FISH WHICH LIVE IN THE MUD.
What would you think Of going into
the fields and catching fish In every
mud puddle? That Is what they do In
the PHILIPPINE Islands. The lowlands
are so underlaid with water that IN
some sections you can break through
the crust at almost any place and BY
digging down a few feet come 10 a
Shiny mud which is full Of fish. Some
or the mud fish are as long as your
arm and they are so common that after
a rain the bitches and streams are filled
with them. Small mud fish are some
times found even In the cutters OF Ma
Mia. In the wet season the people al
ways 60 out after a heavy rain to fish
In the rice fields, and in dry times you
may see women and men wadlng In the
mud Of every canal with fishing traps.
These are mere cylinders of bamboo
open at both ends. The fisherman

muddy water into the mud bed of he

ALL LINES
WHEN MONEY KING RETURNS
CONFERENCE WILL ARRANGE
DETAILS OF MAMMOTH SHIP
LINE CONSOLIDATION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-With the arrival
here next week from Europe of ]. z, Nor
gan and President Griscom of the Inter
national Navigation company, conferences
are expected to begin to arrange the de-
tails of management for the new steam
ship combination as far as this side is con-
cerned, the details abroad being virtually
completed.
The present plan It is understood, is to
operate the separate lines as at present
until Mr.. Morgan and his associates Sc
cure out and out control of the properties
In England the head office will be in Lon
don, where the British board of control
will meet. It is understood that the Right
Hon. w. ]. Pierrie will be chairman Of
the British central board After January
It is the present intention, according to a
reliable source of information, to abolish
the separate boards and 10 manage the en-
tire British business of all the lines
through executive officers under the direc-
ton of the central board.
1t is expected that the British arrange
ment will be duplicated to a very large ex-
tent on this side with Mr.. Griscom as
chairman of the central board.
One plan that is under consideration is
that instead of Incorporating an entirely
new company, to utilize the old Pennsyl-
vania charter of the International Nav
igation compony and Increase the capital
to Sl70. 100000, including 900 four and
a half per cent debenture bonds, $60. 0O0, 900
6 per cent preferred stock and $50, 900. 900
common stock. A final decision on this
point has not yet been reached.

MURDER MYSTERY
STILL BATTLES
THE POLICE
NOTHING WHATEVER HAS BEEN
SEEN OF 5ARTHoLIN, WHO is
WANTED FOR DOUBLE
MURDER IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1s-Mystery surround
ing the Bartholin murder case battles the
Chicago police. Today the feeling grew
stronger that the body of the young wo-
man found last Thursday I'm the field at
18th and State streets and buried as Min
ME Mitchell. was not that of the young
woman.
Coroner Traeger was this afternoon
asked to eXhume the body, cut inasmuch
as the family of the girl did not join in
the request he declined to disinter IL. He
said the body was so decomposed that
such action would be of little avail, in set
Ting doubts as to identity.
The coronor's physician and other we'll
known medical men. however. state in
positive terms that eight days exposure
could not have effected such a change in
the body. Working on this theory the
police have sent out tracers to find Will
liam ]. Bartholin and his fiance together
alive. Efforts also are being made to
Identify the supposed Mitchell body as
some one of the numerous other women
who have been missing.
The Mitchell family have taken no steps
10 clear up the mystery about the body
apparently being satisfied that the clotO
ing scattered about the field where It
was found was sufficient Identification.
Oscar Thompson, one of Mrs. Bartho-
Inns roomers, is still retained by the police
and today was once more put through the
sweating" process, to induce him to tell
the police something definite that will lead
to solution of the murders. He knew
nothing.
