ODELL NOT A GLITTER

hX-6overnot Odell, chairman of The
republican State Committee, made a
statement today concerning the con.
test for the Speakership of the Assem-
Dry, IN which he is backing E. A. Mer-
rit', Jr, against j. w. Wadswortb,
Jr', who has the support of Governor
Higgins. Mr.. Odell said:

DAYS the voice is the voice Of Jacob

interfering in politics in this way in
any other State. The fools NAV be TAX

JAPANESE SWORD MAKERS.
Prayers Offered Before the Work Is
Begun--No Women Employed.

The swords of Jai al are as keen
and hard as the best blades OF To
ledo and Damascus. but they are not
so elastic. All the work Is done by
hand and Is accompanied by relig
ious ceremonies. In huts built for
the purpose the steel Ia forged. On
the walls are representations of the
god OF the sword makers and the
chief goddess of the Shintoes. There
are also bits of white paper and
wisps OF straw charms to keep off the
evil spirits. No female IL allowed to

HONOLULU SHARK FISHING.
Large Specimens akound---Iishcr-
men Enjoy the Sport.

One OF Honolulu's most exclt-
ing pastimes is shark fishing
Large sharks abound off Honolulu
harbor and fishermen may usually
count on bringing back one or two
monsters eight to fourteen feet long,
by going three of four miles from
shore. The FISH may be harpooned
or hooked, the latter method being
easier. The happening is more dan
gerous.
The shark fishers need a small
launch, dead horse, some harpoons
or hooks and some large caliber
rifles. The horse is sometimes killed
a day or two before the expedition,
as sharks are supposed to like their
meat high"
The horse Is tied at the end OF a
rope and left to float about 60 feet
away from the launch In the open
sea. Then the wait for the sharks
up In short time At distance Of
so feet he is long. green object OF
indefinite outlines. He approaches
the horse slowly, until a few feet
away, and then veers off TO one side
and disappears. But he always re-
turns. over and over again, some
times for an hour. he will circle
about the dead animal, seeming to be
as suspicious as any fox.
While the shark Is making these
Investigations the bait is slowly
drawn toward the boat. Some inter
esting glimpses of the shark are OBJ
tainable during this process. He win
slowly glide through the water up to
the food. and then suddenly turn on
his side and take a bite.
When NARROWING Is to he done
the bait Is gradgally drawn closer
untii tie shGr& Is near Then the
harrooa Is plunged into him aa1 The
battle begins. The shark will Give
for deep water and tow the boat at
a rapid pace. His strength Is ex-
traordinary. and the fight is a long
one. There is nothing TO do but tire
him out, and the only way is to let
him struggle as he will Gradually he
Is drawn nearer to the boat, and
soon he is hauled TO the surface In a
condition approaching exhaustion.
Then the rifles come into play. but at
the first shot he will often carry the
harpoon and rope of again and re-
peat the fight.
There Is spot under the gills
where fatal wound can be infiict-
ed with large rife bullet, but
shooting In a rocking boat is not
likely to be accurate. and the right
spot Ia seldom reached at once.
