DISTRUST ALBATROSS
JAPANESE FISHERMEN CHARY
WITH INFORMATION.
They Think Scientists Want to Take
Away Their Fishing Grounds and
Give Them to Americans.

The inability of the scientists aboard
the AlbatrOss to find the japanese fish
ing fleet on their last trip, although
scouting over the regular grounds Of
the fishermen, has given rise to a
theory that the Orientals purpOsely
kept out of the way. 1t has been no
ticeable that whenever the AlbatrOss is
in port the supply of fish at the market
has fallen off 90 almost nothing while
Immediately the AlbatrOss starts on a
definite cruise the fish would come in
again to the stalls. This applies par
ticularly to the larger fishes such as
aku, uhu, ulua and others from the
deeper waters.
The fishing grounds off Molokai
where the Albatross looked in vain for
the Japanese fleet is very fairly pro-
ductive as a rule, the sampans bring
ing in a regular supply of the larger
fish from there While the AlbatrOss
was cruising in those waters however
the regular supply stopped, 1t is
thought that the Japanese keep close
watch on the ship in an endeavOr to
dodge the scientists and keep their
fishing grounds to themselves.
The Japanese have had translated to
them the articles that have appeared
in the local press telling of the pres
ence of scientists on the Albatross
whose business it is to estimate the
value of the fishing grounds of this ter
ritory, and, talking it over between
themselves, have decided that any dis
coveries made of good fishing grounds
will result in an army of white men
coming down here to take away their
livelihood.
The idea of anybody setting up a
steamer and carrying enormous dredg-
ers and nets merely to catch few
specimens for scientific purposes is not
comprehensive to the regular Japanese
fisherman, who belongs to the unedu-
Gated classes. To him a dredger and
a trawl net are merely engines for fish
catching on a large scale.
The Japanese are quick to pick up
little bits of information and piece
them together and the examination and
general condemnation of their closely
meshed nets, is to them, simply part
of some gigantic conspiracy on the part
United States to take away their fish
ing and give it to Americans. There
fore it has been very hard for the
scientists to get any information from
the Japanese as to local fishing grounds
and the sampans have kept clear when
ever the Albatross is on the horizon
line or likely to appear there.

The Halstead party went up from

SMITH CASE BRIEFS TO Bl
FILED.
Davis Concludes a Long Argument and
Lewis Closes the Case with Brief
Reply.

George A. Davis this morning finish
ed his argument in the Smith contempt
case Davis occupied a part of yester-
day afternoon and all of this morning
going through authorities, and now
and then varying his dry law with out
bursts of elOqueuce on the subject Of
the MCSwillegan cartoon Many fines
he held 1t up before the three Justices.
pointing Indignantly to the portrayal
of the portly form Of the second Judge
of the first circuit court, and the tough
looking McSwillegan and his victim.
Davis cOntended that the contempt
was direct contempt and that even if
IL was constructive, the Hawaiian sta
tute prohibiting punishments for con-
structive contempt was unConstitution-
al He read authorities to show that
legislatures have no right to limit the
inherent powers of courts to punish for
contempt Davis also contended that
the disayowal in the return to the cta-
tiOn to show cause, of any intention to
bring the court into contempt and ridi-
Cule, was of no effect. THE cartoon
speaks for itself" he said, land it is
stronger than any disavowal of inten-
ttonal contempt"
Davis held the cartoon before the
court, and declared that IL such carl
Catures were to be allowed it would be
Sc carried on i'm Hawaii IT'S no use
trying to secure justice in this COM
munity if such lampOOning is to be al
luEed Is any self-respecting lawyer
going to sit in a court that cannot pro-
tect itself from that sort of thing? Why
any lawyer that has an office and at
tends to his business can make more
than $3.50 a month. Judge Gear is on
the bench to his own disadvantage and
it does not matter whether his conduct
is approved or not he Is entitled to pro-
tect himself from such cartoons. A
Judge is not like any other man in pub
lie or political life. He must remain
silent. His lips are sealed. But the
law allows the court to maintain it's
own dignity, and protect itself when
the line of proper criticism is passed
over, as it was in this case"
Davis cOntended that the proceedings
en- banc were regular that the mitti-
mus was valid and the findings of fact
by the lower court conclusive. He said
that the record showed that the cartoon
did actually influence a case that was
on trial, causing eleven jurors to reach
a frame of mind in which they were
not fitted to impartially try case for
which they had been summoned.
Once during his argument Davis
5pught smiles on faces behind him,
when he turned round while the JUS
tices were signing a paper handed up
to Justice Galbraith by Bailiff Sea. He
al once made kick Il call the atten-
tion of the court to the behavior of the
young men," he said. 1T annOys me-.
They must behave when an attorney
is making an argument before the
court, with proper respect" Chief JUS
tice raped gently for order, and Davis
resumed his argument
When Davis had done, Lewis rose to
reply. He closed by noon and each side
was given 5 days in which to file briefs.

TURK AND LEWIS NOW IN OAHU
JAIL.
Shipping masters win Not Have to Do
Hard Labor'-Engaged Agent to

There has been a broad grin along

The news of the unexpected enforced
retirement of Turk and Lewis the ship
ping masters, from their accustomed
bauwiCk, has caused their enemies, and
they appear to be legion, 90 END uf

is expressed Tor the two shipping mas
ters there is an opinion i'm many quar-
ters that the sentence was much heavi-
er than the circumstances warranted

the sentence on general principles say

Swillegan i'm one cell, and Turk and
Lewis in the other. ] wouldn't be sur
prised II the crowd of them did not orr
sanize and try to ship new gangs for
Jailor Henry"
Considerable curiosity has been fal,
as to whether the pair have hard
labOr' The sentence does not entail
such eXeTtior. The men are simply To
be detained in the prison during the
period Of their sentence. The hardest
work they will be required to perform
MuI Ue 60 masuvdte Iue 1000 provided.
Just how the pair Will pass their time
is not certain. The days win begin TO
drag quite heavily and both of the
shipping masters wat Chafe sorely ur-
der the knowledge that there are now
three vessels in port, which will want
crews for New York within a few
weeks,
The incarceration of the men will, it
ij thought, prove a loss to them, for
their business, is certain to suffer to
some extent. With characteristic en-
terprise however, the pair have made
provision q, for conducting business.
Lewis and Turk may be elsewhere, but
the firm" will continue to do business
at the old stand on Queen street. Ed
ward Gerard, who came here as sec
ond officer in the ship Acme, has been
employed by the shipping masters, to
attend to their shipping interests and
he will transact the business of. the men
during their absence. Gerard has had
much experience in the shipping bust-
ness in Philadelphia, and will, no
doubt, succeed in holding the bulk of
the business of the firm,
In order to enable the masters to pass
the time, a miniature full rugged ship
is to be sent to the jail so that Turk
can keep in practice and ship crews
for the boat every day. They say that
already Turk is the first man to greet
new arrivals from the outside and try
to get them to sign with one gang, in
hopes that McSwillegan will soon be
left alone in his particular crowd, to
break all the rock.
Lewis has already begun to do prac-
ttcal politics and is thinking of calling
primaries to elect delegates to con-
venuOn to nOminte new poi mixer. In
fact, Lewis has started new party in
the Jail and declares that the soft jobs
should be held by the kamaainas and
not by the malihini short termers, who
ought to be put to work breaking rock
in order to get muscle enough to mark
six or seven ballots at a crack.
