Indiana Harbor, Ind. Dec 1s-Yes-
terday afternoon Frank wedrzin, of
this city, little Polish lad, was romp-
ing about the streets of the Harbor
selling copies of a national Polish
weekly paper. At 4;3O o'clock last
evening he was struck by fast B. &
0. railway train and his young body
crushed beneath the massive wheels.
The unfortunate little fellow was but
IL years of age and was well liked bv
his fellow schoolmates. 1t is believed
that he was about to cross from Adds
avenue to the Lake Shore depot. ex-
pecting to dispose of several copies of
his papers at that station. He evident
ly failed to notice the approach of the
B. & Q. train, known as No. 20. and
was cast beneath the wheels with ter
rible force. The entire train passed
over Wedrzin. breaking and crushing
every bone in the lower half of his
body. Two jagged holes, one on either
side of his head. proved the terrible
force with which his skull was crushed
against the ties.
Coroner Gordon Notified.
The body was taken Immediately to
TeaPs morgue on Michigan avenue and
Coroner Gordon notified. The latter's
inquest will be held at the Harbor this
afternoon. when testimony of the train
crew will be heard as well as that of

therefore invited the German prince

SAN FRANCISCO, March dick
Reuter-, the big kanaka whom Long
signed up last fall to do some pitch
ing for the Seals, will not toss his
curves before the admiring throngs
this season. When Long learned that
the dark skinned poi chewer insisted
on big raise in salary he immediate
ly got sore, and yesterday he decided
to notify Reuter- to stay where he was
unless he agreed to buy his own ticket
across the Pacific, which is not very
likely.
Reuter- can remain in Honolulu for
all I care, said Long yesterday. "The
memory of Barney Joy is still fresh in
my mind, and l am not going to take
any more chances. I sent Reuter- his
contract and he agreed to come. Now
he is hoilering his head off for raise,
but he won't get it. I was stung by
one kanaka, and once is enough to hold
me for few seasons"
Barney Joy still owes the San Fran
cisco club half month IS salary. 1t
seems that the big kanaka double
shotted the turn the last time the
team was paid off, and thereby was
slipped an additional piece Of coin,
which the management did not get
GERRY" to till after Barney was on his
way.
Joy has not yet received his ticket
from the Boston club, and it begins to
look as though the big league people
have about decided to allow Barney
to spend his vacation in Honolulu on
their time. AS the Bosto, squad will
report for practice within the next few
days, they would undoubtedly have sent
for the burly south winger had they
intended using him this season.

Along the Reef With a Bamboo
BY T. 0. P. Joynt

You hook moano, a fish of pale
| hue with darker markings. when taken
from the water, but which immedi-
ately after deepens to a rose red, while
| the fins take on an orange hue, as do
the two feelers underneath the mouth.
It is shapely, solid fish, and affords
| good sport when f1shed for with light
| tackle.
1 seem to have kahunaed the kupou-
pou for 1 land ten in short space
| of time; meanwhile the moano have
/ been keeping you busy. Shortly before
| the top of the tide the moano are run
ming at their best and the shrimp
covered hook is seized almost as soon
as it has sunk to the bottom.
The basket is filling rapidly and in
| it beside the fish named are three
/ paul, a little pilikoa or two, a poopaa
or hard-head, and very aptly named;
| half dozen hinalea and a hinalea
| iiwi of peacock green and with an abb
surd-looking bill-like mouth.
| There goes your pole which you laid
down while you lit your pipe. Gently,
now. You are fast to a pualo and If
you can Withstand his first rush the
fish is as good as yours. Now he is
sulking and now boring up and down.
He has entirely lost his desire to tow
the boat out to sea. Better get the
landing-net under him or your single
gut leader will break with his weight
which is in the neighborhood of two
pounds. When unlocking him steer
clear of the knife ON either side of the
| tail which the fish knows well how to
of Sha lyata
and the kole are also armed with
knives and fishermen are often deeply
cut when extracting these fish from
the meshes. of a net.
| It lacks an hour yet to shutdown but
! We shall have to make up and go in
| because we have fouled the bottom
so frequently that our supply of lead
has become exhausted. It is better for
fishing along the reef TO use heavy
split shot or bullets for they will not
foul the coral when a fish takes the
line into a hole as does a piece of
sheet lead which is all right for deep
water fishing.
Our catch of moano is forty odd and
it is too bad that we cannot stay for
the shutdown fishing for when the mo-
ano are running the red weke general
iy do likewise, especially when there
is a young moon.
As we are hosting anchor a whale
spouts half a mile off and then an
other. When they sound we can tell
by their f1ukes that they are pair Of
humpbacks about sixty feet long. For
two weeks past whaler has been
lying off port and had the whales put
in an appearance during that time, a
valuable catch might have resulted.
As we row shoreward we pass a
canoe, the occupants Of which have
made a big catch of kala. The school
was surrounded and there were so
many of them caught that they are
being taken ashore in the net which
trails over the sides of the canoe.
With the tide as it is we can row
right UP on the beach, a much pleas
anter state of affairs than is expert
enced at low tide when the boat has
to be left, sometimes a couple of hun
dred of yards from shore.

NO. 4.
WHEN THE MoANo ARE RUN
MING.

I have been asked several times OF
late how a visitor to Honolulu may
enjoy a little fishing. In reply
| would say that the best thing for q
malihini to do is to get acquainted
with a native who owns his own canoe
| and make a bargain with him to take
you out for a days sport. Don't
however, do as is often done, tell your
man that you will take along a bottle
of gin big enough for the two of you
Now and again you will run across q
Hawaiian who will sever negotiations
subject further. He fights shy of this
type of haole with a CELEBRITY born OF
experience.
The best way to do is to tell your
man how much you will give him for
the use of his canoe and services as
pilot, and to promise him a little ad-
ditional remuneration if you make a
good catch.
AS a general thing the native fisher
men are averse to taking parties out,
particularly if they are kamaainas and
may again visit any fishing ground
which has proved to be particularly
good. They are hardly to blame for
this, for they look on the sea and all
that therein moves as their own prop
erty, and in too many cases this is all
that the poor Hawaiian has left.
Well, we have our own boat, so need
trouble nobody. Today we will give
Table Rock rest and will drop our
anchor in another channel about a
mile distant.
We work the mouth of the channel
for couple of hours with but little
success, and are then compelled to
shift our anchorage by the blind roll
ers, which are becoming larger and
more frequent as the tide makes, and
which have a nasty habit of stopping
over every now and again.
Right here is the place to sound a
warning against the treachery of the
surf off the reef. The waves roll in
intermittently, and while a boat may
stay in one spot for half a day in
safety, there is always a chance of a
giant swell coming up and filling the
craft. This, however, is when the boat
is moored outside certain safety lines,
known to the oldtimers on the reef.
And when fishing by moonlight, be
sure that your boat is securely fasten-
ed, or the rope may fray through on a.
ledge of coral and the first animation
you will receive that anything of the
kind has happened will be the kissing
of the surf all around you.
The tide is now well in, and as there
is plenty of water near the shore end
of the channel, we bring up there.
I quickly catch a kupoupou, long
pikelike fish, fifteen inches in length.
This fish is known as the "alii fish,
and is much esteemed for its edible
qualities. In the old days it was al
ways set apart from the catch for the
use of royalty.

The Riverside Junior Baseball
League will hold their regular meet

president, Bernard H. Kelekolio, in the
Judd building.
Among other important business
that will be taken up is the appoint

report of the secretary for the period
ending February 80, 1908, of the doings
of the league, from the date of its
inauguration.
Wong Tin Chong. the secretary OF
the former Riverside Senior League,
and now secretary of the Riverside
Juniors, and who was unanimously
appointed the other night by the rep
resentatives of the Riverside Senior
League to hold down the same posi-
ton. has this to say:
Talk about sweating, I have had no
time to sleep; in fact, I seem to have
been working throughout the year at
nothing but baseball. My report this
evening will surprise the league in that
it will be a very long one. The league
as a whole is doing well, and am
proud of the showing we have made"
