PUGET SOUND FISHERMEN.

Captain Bray, who was in Honolulu
a few years ago, during which time
he endeavored to find some means of
taking away the monopoly Of sea-fsh-
ing held by Japanese and give white
fishermen a chance, is here again.
He says that if the old ruling against
alien fishermen is upheld that there
are plenty Of white fishermen on Puget
Sound who would be willing To come
here and start in the business of sup
plying the Honolulu market.
The ruling was that alien fishermen,
bringing fish into the city from beyond
the three-rnfle limit, should pay duty
thereon.
L. S District Attorney Breckons was
asked about that time what could be
be tested in court by some one who
believed himself deprived of the means
of earning a livelihood by alien fish
ern7en cutting in.
Mr.. Breckons stated yesterday that
a recent ruling in a Florida case is
in this connection. Greek
fishermen ffshed off the coast Of Flo
rida. They used American boats how
ever. and therefore could not BE- made
