FISH NEED
PROTECTION
Congress May Be
Asked to
Act.

Failing to get badly needed legisla-
ton for the protection Of fish, from the
legislature, Fish Inspector Louis
Berndt has written to Washington to
interest the United States Fish Com
possible some amendment to the Or
ganic Act by which Congress NAV
grant the relief that the native legis-
lators refused.
A bill was introduced by Senator
Isenberg at the regular session of the
Legislature to protect fish, through the
compulsory use of larger mesh nets.
The natives baked at the bill. and
though 1t passed in the Senate despite
the opposition of the Home Rule sem
ators it was killed upon it's inception
in the House. This too after there
had been session after session. at
which the merits of the law were ex-
planned and accepted by the native
members. For there can be no doubt
but that the natives even more than
the white population should have am
pie protection for fish, because they
depend upon that class of food much
more than do the whites. There was
always the fear, however, that the ma
tives might be stopped from fishing
by the new law, which was the prin-
cipal reason for it's failure.
II have written to Washington in
regard to securing some protection for
the fish here" said Inspector Berndt.
II think probably that something will
be done in the matter. Both commits
sions which visited Hawaii since an
nexation have recommended very
strongly the Importance of a law for
the better protection of fish. Such a
law is very much needed. At present
only the mullet and the ava are pro-
tected; no fish less than six inches
long of these two varieties can be tax
en- out. I can condemn any fish OF
those kinds that are caught, but 1 am
powerless when it comes to other vari-
cites and it will not be long before
the food supply is exhausted.
"As matter of fact but few ma
tives are fishing now. The industry
is almost entirely in the hands of the
Japanese, with a few Chinese who
bring mullet from fish ponds.
even now my records show that not
as many fish are being caught as there
We're year ago. OF course there are
not as many people buying them either.
But there must be some protection in
the way of compelling the use of larg-
err meshes, so that the smaller fish are
not taken from the water. The ma
tives will feel the loss of fish more
than other, for they with Japanese,
Chinese and Portuguese are the prin-
cipal fish eaters in the islands If
the bill as introduced during the last
session had become law, it would
have done very much to help out, but
now it looks as If the natives do not
want any law of that kind"

SCANDAL IN THE SUIT

HILO. July 1.-THE Hilo Tribune
charges that there Is a conspiracy in
the suits brought against T.. f. Bishop
for alleged Illegal importation Of
that officials in Honolulu hope to share
in any damages recovered from Bishop.
The revelation Is made in the trial OF
a Korean who was arrested for trying
to bride Koreans to testify in the
United States court.
The Tribune says:
The Hilo chapter of the scheme

count of the 113 Koreans employed on
waiakea and Wainaku plantations

Police Court Wednesday morning. A
Korean. giving his name as Chong
Tong Soon, and sent over from Homo

bribes for much needed testimony, was
fined 500 by Judge Hapai and sent
to Jail in default of payment. Loo

Choy Tong Soon, accompanied by the
notorious Loo Choy, came to Hilo for
that purpose. They first went to Wal

efforts. They offered the Korean inter-

assist them in cultivating the good
graces of susceptible Koreans. Man
ager John Scott was soon on their trail
and Wainaku became uncomfortable
for them. They then transferred their
operations to Waiakea, where they met
their Waterloo. The Korean "detec-

ers as physician and dispenser of
drugs. He entered their homes and is
known to have offered $1,000 to the
Korean who would furnish evidence
that he came to work under con-

LAST DAY
TO APPEAL
Few Cases for the Local
Tax Appeal
Court.

To day is the last day upon which
appeals may be filed upon the assess
ments upon property tax for the pres
ent year. The indication is that there
will not be many appeals from the as
sessments made by Pratt. The rule
this year has been compromises wher-
ever possible and these were more fire.
quent than usual because of the recent
rulings of the Supreme Court on appeal
cases, thus establishing a precedent.
The income tax returns must be in by
the end of the present month, other
wise the assessor will have the right to
fix the amount to suit himself.
There will probably have to be an
other income tax return at the close of
the present year for the six months
period. Upon the first of the year the
new law goes into effect making the
exemption upon incomes $500 and for
that reason there will have to be an
entirely new start. The last six months
of the present year will come under the
old law as the county act does not
take effect until January LIST.

Commission less the discount through

of trouble in bringing garnishee suits

amount of the award had been. All
the claims when assigned to Ozaki were
listed by number in the fire claims

not be distinguished from another. Be-

Be DELAYED.
Pearl Harbor Plans Wait
For a Five Million
Appropriation.

There will be no work on the Pearl
Harbor naval station until Congress
passes an appropriation which will al
low decent start to be made. 1t was
expected that with the settlement of
the Pearl Harbor suits work could be
Immediately inaugurated, but the Navy
Department does not intend to do the
job piecemeal. The dredging of the
Pearl Harbor bar has been practically
completed and will be ready within a
few weeks to be turned over to the
government by the contractors.
There Is at present an appropriation
of 100000 available for the NAVAL Sta
tion, Hawaii a part of which could
be used for work at Pearl Harbor.
OF this amount, $4,000 is for the COM
mandant's house to be erected on
Punchbowl, $4,000 is intended for ma
chine shops and $4,000 for a foundry.
These improvements are only Incl
dental to those at Pearl Harbor. The
machine shops and foundry were to
have been erected in Honolulu for the
use of vessels needing temporary re-
pairs, but in view of the nearness of
the construction of the larger shops at
Pearl Harbor they are not now DEEM
ed necessary.
Captain Whites estimates for the
improvements needed at Pearl Har-
Dor to begin with, will require an ap-
preparation of over $5,000,000.

ASSEMBLING
THE EXHIBIT

Superintendent Cooper stated yester-
day that progress had been made in
arranging for the st. Louis exhibit.
An application for space had gone for
ward. Instead of putting the work of
collection into a single individuals
hands, he would apportion it in differ
ent quarters according to classes Of ex-
hibits. Thus Superintendent Atkinson
of the Department of Public Instruc-
ton had been assigned the task of as
sembling the education display. An
allowance from the .und would be given
for that purpose. Mr.. Cooper would
ask the assistance of a number of peo-
pie for other divisions.

THE TREASURER
HASN'T THE GIFT

Since talking to an Advertiser rep
resentative on Friday evening, Treas
urer Kepoikai has come to the conclu-
sion that the appointing of a Com
missioner of Immigration belongs to
the Governor instead of himself. He
was led to this belief by consulting the
Organic Act, where in Section so the
following provision appears:
''The manner of appointment and
removal and the tenure of all other
officers shall be provided by law;
and the governor may appoint or
remove any officer whose appoint
ment or removal is not otherwise
provided for"
Since C. r. auckland has been found
to be disqualified for the clerkship
OF this court. he has again entered the
lists as a candidate for the office of
Commissioner Of immigration.
