Gives Special Immunities.

The defendant also claimed that the
act is in violation of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States in that it denies equal
protection of the laws to some people
engaged in fishing for profit and does
not impose the same burden upon 9th
ers of the same class.
Judge De Bolt in his opinion goes
very thoroughly into the merits of
these contentious, and concludes, vir-
tually, that they have no merit. He
further holds that the defendant IS con-
tention that the principal object of
the statute is to discourage orientals
from following the occupation of fish
ing is not tenable because the statute
does not say that that is its object,
and the fact that most of the fisher
men are orientals is not sufficient to
warrant the assumption that the
statute discriminates against them.
"My conclusion IS, therefore, says
the Judge, 'that Section 141SD, Act
90, Laws of 1907, is constitutional and
valid, and that the defendant, Matsu-
bara, is guilty. The court, therefore,
finds the defendant guilty as charged.
The defendant is sentenced to pay a
fine of five dollars and costs. Mittimus
accordingly.

THIRTY-INCH
ACT IS VALID
ConstitutionaIity of the Fishing
Boat Law Upheld by Judge
De Bolt.

The fishing boat law, known as Act
90 of the Session Laws of 1907, is con-
stitutional. according to a decision
rendered by Judge De Bolt yesterday
afternoon in the case of Matsubara,
a japanese charged with having VIC
lated the provisions of the act. The
opinion is very important one from
the standpoints both Of the Territory
and of the japanese.
The act in question requires the
pavment of a license of five dollars
a wear for a fishing boat, and defines a
fishing boat for the purposes of the
act as any boat used for the purpose of
fishing for profit that has beam of
thirty inches or more.
1t was claimed at the time the act
was passed by the legislature that it
was class legislation, aimed at the
Japanese, and this was the ground of
Matsubara's defense. He admitted the
facts as set forth in the charge, but
offered to prove that at the time of
the passage of the act, and ever since,
virtually all of the thirty-inch fishing
boats were owned by Japanese, only
three by Chinese and not more than
two by men of other nationalities, On
the other hand, there were and are a
large number of outrigger canoes hav-
ing beam of less than thirty inches,
which are used and have been used
for fishing for profit. These canoes
are owned almost exclusively by native
Hawaiians.
The court refused to admit this evil
dence. The defendant contended that
the act is unconstitutional in that it
is in contravention of Sections So and
95 of the Organic Act which prohibit
special immunities and make the right
of fisheries in the sea waters of Ha-
wall free.

JERSEYr"GHOST" IN
HIGH SCHOOL BELFRY
When Arrested the Prisoner Had
Food, Bedding, Clothing and
JeweIry in Large
Quantities

NEW YORK, Jan. "a supposed
ghost which has haunted the belfry
Of the high school building in German
Valley, N. J., for several weeks, caus-
ing much excitement in the little ham
let, has been laid.
During the past month citizens out
late at night have seen a strange man
who always carried a suitcase and
wore a cap pulled down over his eyes
He was known as "the mystery
Lights were seen in the school build
ing at late hour and some people de-
clared they had seen a figure in white
fitting back and forth. Automobiles
without lights have been seen in front
of the school The affair was explained
through an accident. While Charles
Watson was ringing the bell for recess
Friday it was turned over.
Watson and another high school stu
dent climbed through a trapdoor in the
ceiling to the belfry. They mounted
a ladder to the top door, but the latter
was held down and they could not open
it. Watson and his companion looked
through the bell rope hole and saw g
man standing on the trapdoor. The
boys were frightened and hurried tc
tell the principal who kept watch till
the village constable arrived.
The constable arrested the man who
confessed to having played the ghost
upon sundry occasions. Upon his per-
son was found bunch of keys, twen-
ty-five in number. In the belfry were
five dress suit cases, containing new
clothing of every description.
There were a mattress, pillows, beef
steak, milk, tea and coffee, pipes to-
bacco, toilet articles, fountain pen and
some novels. In a ventilating ffue
were found a gold watch, loaded re-
volver and more clothing.
