THE NEW FISHING LAW

bill passed by the legislature the instance of
the fish commission, chiefly, makes important pro-
vision for the preservation of both fresh and salt water
fish in California waters.
The closed for trout under the new act is
fixed between November and April /. No trout may be
taken except with hook and line and no one person is
allowed TO catch more than fifty in one day with
maximum weight of twenty-five pounds Probably
ninetenths of amateur trout fishermen would be quite
willing after some experience, to compromise on
large discount from the legal allowance
The law makes it misdemeanor to catch striped
bass less than three pounds in weight" Just how the
angler is to determine whether the nbbe at his hook
tips the scales at three pounds less is not explained
in the law.
The close season for black bass is between January
and June l. and it forbidden to catch such fish at
any time except with hook and line
The wholesale destruction of young fish by senes
is prohibited thus Every person who catches vounp
FISH with seine and does not Immediately return them
to the water alive is guilty of misdemeanor and sub
ject to fine of not less than 500 Imprisonment NOT
less than twenty and not than 100 days or both
Provision is made for the further protection of
lobsters crawfsh shrimp, crabs, sturgeon abalones
etc. The law Is very stringent in respect to the La
biy OF transportation companies making them equally
guilty with first offenders If they carry fish taken in
violation Of the law The act stands is the outcome
of long contest and the sitting of several bills
considered in legislative committees.

was also the father of the Lacy Broth
ers, two Of our most successful bust
ness men. When the new bank paid
$500 a front foot for it's quarters near
the Farmers and Merchants bank, Los
Angeles real estate was thought TO
have reached its perihelion.
Two FatefuI Years
The years 1874 and 1876 were fateful
ones in the history of Los Angeles. In
the former year Senator John P. Jones
made his appearance. He at once pro-
ceeded to invest some of his bonanza
millions in the San Vincente y Santa
Monica ranches, and he set out forth
with to the building of the Los Angeles
g. independence railway, Of which I
have had something to say in past is
sues Of The Herald.
The field was by no means left to
the Nevada senator. In 1875 r.. ]. Bald
Windy many named Lucky" Bald,
win-came down to Los Angeles with
the idea Of investing some Of his spare
millions. AS the story went, Baldwin
had sold his stock in the Ophir mine
for 81, 400 000 one-t third in cash and the
remainder In two notes of S1S00000
each, payable in six and. twelve months
While he was down here one of the
notes was lost and there was n good
deal Of excited hunting around until
1t was found. The first thing Baldwin
did was to buy the Santa Anita ranch
from the Newmarks for something over
$200,000 which was a capital stroke, as
it Is probably the finest piece of prop
erty in California. He next loaned +.
P. f. Temple $25O,O0O to reopen his
bank, which stayed open for only a
few weeks. AS result Of this loan he
gathered in the Temple block, some
valuable property on the other side Of
Spring street. the Puente, Merced and
San Felipe Lugo ranches, and heaven
knows how much other valuable real
estate besides. With a most president
sense of what he was doing he bought
Capt Hutchinson's Cienega ranch for
100000, or about $15 an acre. e. j.
Baldwin may have rightly earned the
sobriquet of Lucky but in his in
he has shown a keen business sense
which has rarely been surpassed Luck
may come and luck may go, but Los
Angeles real estate goes on forever in
increment of values. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that whatever Baldwin's
real estate investments in Los Angeles
may have cost him, they are worth ten
times as much today. This so-called
lucky" man has diminished his luck
by too much devotion to litigation.
Talking about litigation, that re-
minds me. The last Mexican governor
of California, Pho Pico, had at various
times set apart for himself real estate
enough to satisfy even the nav of a,
Russian grand duke of the Sergius or
the Vladimir gall. He would probably
have died with much of this if he could
have controlled this passion. He sued
his brother-in-law, Don Juan Forster
for the Santa Margarita ranch. "Pio,"
says Don Juan, although 1 know you
can't win that suit and have no title
to the land, I will give you $4,000 If
you withdraw the suit" No. he would
not hear of it, lost his suit and had to
pay mis- lawyers besides-the Messrs.
Glassell, Chapman & Smith and w.
Jeff Gatewood of San Diego, who were
never accused of working for their
health merely.

JOHN RfDOY TRIES
TO END H|S LIFE

John Reddy, a hack driver, wen
known in town, lies at the point of
death in a CO... at the Queens Hospital
as a result of an attempt at suicide.
A heavy dose of opium was the method
he chose to rid himself of his troubles.
Family quarrels are supposed to have
been the cause of his rash act. About
year ago Reddy married a Portu-
guese girl, but their married life has
not been harmonious and at present
there is divorce case pending. Reddy
seems to have had conSiderabl affec-
ton for"the girl, but it is said that she
did not reciprocate his feelings At any
rate, the hackdriver became despon-
dent and yesterday afternoon at about
three o'clock took a heavy dose of
opium in his room on Alakea street
near Hotel. He was discovered in an
unconscious condition at about six
O'Clock and DIR. Herbert was sent for
He worked over the man until about
$50 when the patrol wagon was sent
for and the unconscious man was con-
veyed to the Queens Hospital At
late hour he was still alive, but had not
recovered consciousness. There was
very slight hope of his recovery

JUDD BLOCK
THREATENED
hot Fire Last Evening
Burned an Office
Desk.

What might have been a very disas-
trous fire was nipped last night by the
prompt action of Young Pang, the Chi
nese janitor of the Judd building. AS
it was the damage was confined to a
the law offices of Atkinson, Judd &
Mott-Smith. At about six o'clock last
evening the janitor noticed smoke COM
ing from Room 205 in the corner of
the second floor of the fine Judd build
ing. Rushing into the room he found
Mr.. Brooks roller-top desk a mass of
flames. He tried to put out the fire
with a patent extinguisher, but the
machine woud not work. 1t was later
found that the bottle containing the
acid had already broken and the ex-
tinguisher made useless.
Frank Godfrey, Will E. Fisher and
several others arrived on the scene at
about this time and did valiant work
spilling the contents of the water
cooler on the flames with slight effect
The Chinese janitor, however. brought
pail after pail Of water from the lava
tory and managed to extinguish the
flames. An alarm was turned in from
box 1S and great crowd gathered on
the streets. The police stretched lines
and kept a clear space for the en-
gines. Smoke was pouring from the
windows and from all appearances the
fire was a large one.
. Chief Thurston made an investiga
ton of the room and came to the con-
clusion that the fire started in the
waste basket. probably from a cigar
stub. The inside of the desk was prac-
Eically burnt out, many papers and
books being destroyed. The fire spread
very rapidly as Mr.. Brock left the Of /

Especial to the Advertiser.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10
Again there is delay in getting to
work on the Quarantine wharf at Ho-
nolulu. The bids must be made all
over new and it viii be a month or
two before the Office of the Supervis-
ing Architect of the Treasury gets up
to the point where it supposed it was
month ago-ready to announce the
successful bidder and to award the
contract.
There have been several conferences
at the Supervising architects office
during the last few days about this
contract. At first the opinion was
that Cotton Bros. & Co., of Oakland
would carry off the contract, because
they were the lowest bidders, although
no official award was made. The
change in the harbor lines, due to the
contemplated improvements made it
necessary to ask for, supplemental
bids. These supplemental bids were
asked from four frms-Cotton Bros.
& Co., whose original bid was $59,-
$50. the Hawaiian Dredging Company,
whose bid was $62,S00; the Healy-
Tibbetts Construction Company, OF
San Francisco, whose bid was $63 ,433;
and w. H. Hoogs, of Honolulu, whose
bid was $63,433. The requests for ad-
ditional bids from the two Honolulu
firms was made from the office of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, it seems. The requests for ad-
ditional bids from the two California
firms was sent out from the office of
the Supervising Architect. In any
event the business was not handled In
the usual way ami there was some
bIunder in not including John Ouder-
kirk. of Honolulu, whose bid was $62,-
500. being. on it's face, as the bids
were listed at the Supervising Archi-
tect' s office, one of the then lowest.
But as matter of fact, there was
little paper attached to the Ouderklrk
bid. stating that it did not include the
dredging of the harbor adjacent to the
new quarantine wharf. The other bids
apparently did include, the dredging
which, so Mr.. Charles E. kemper, chief
executive officer of the Supervising ar
chitect's office said today, is quite an
important item. 1t has been decided
that the War Department will do the
dredging and therefore after long delib-
Grafton it was stated this afternoon
that it had been decided as wisest to
call for new bids from five OF the
former bidders. Those will be Mr.. Ou-
derkirk and the four who were request
ed to submit supplemental bids. Mr..
Kemper said today it seemed that Mr..
Ouderkirk had not been treated entire
lv as he should have been. Accordingly

families.
From Cape Sabine we will drive the
ship through Kennedy and Robson
channels TO the northern shore of
Grant Land. where the vessel will be
put in winter quarters. We expect to
reach there about the 1st of Septem-
ber. The Arctic night begins then and
lasts until February. Then, as soon
as the long Arctic day begins, we will
start in our sledges for the Pole. From
where we will leave the ship to the
Pole is roughly 490 miles,

SCANDALS IN WASHINGTON.

Contrary to the usual conditions when
officers are away, Washington has not
thus far had a dull summer. The In
yestigation of scandals has been in full
swing and the end is not yet. The sum-
mer is opportune for such investiga-
tions. The rumors of grating and of
regularities, lavish administration and
the like, occasionally limited at during
the fall and winter months, are given
additional emphasis when summer
comes on, There is less to command
public attention. The Washington
newspapers harp on the scandals, news
papers outside take up the refrain and,
driven by the force of public sentiment,
officials undertake little house clean
ing. President Roosevelt is quick to
drive such Investigations through. In
that there is decided difference from
former days, when the men higher up
secuted rumors of public scandals and
had to be forced to make an investiga
tion.
Now it is not difficult to start an in
vestigation. but it is sometimes diff
cult to have it thoroughly aud COM
pletely done. The President, and es
pecially his cabinet officers, want to do
their investigating behind closed doors.

GOVERNOR CARTER.

Otherwise Honolulu and Hawaiian
matters are very much at a standstill
here. Nothing has been heard from
Gov. Carter. Several pieces of mail
addressed to him, are held at the In
terror Department awaiting his arrival
As President Roosevelt is at Oyster
Bay and likely to remain there for some
weeks, Gov. Carter will go there un-
doubtedly for the parley he desires.
Whether he will go to Oyster Bay be-
fore visiting Washington is not known
here.
The Interior Department is. also in
the dark as to what is likely to be done
about the continuance of Gov. Carter
in Office. So far as is known there no
applications have been made from
Hawaii for the Governor s office, but
the chances are that any applications
would go direct to the President and
would not be placed on file in the In
terror Department Tor several weeks.
