Mention of the late Sir Alfred
Jones. the chief of the imperial direct
West Indian mail service, has been
left to the last for obvious reasons.
lust before starting for Jamaica
long telegram was handed to me from
the founder of this and many other
great undertakings. He never forgot
anyone or anything, and fell victim
to his Jealous work. OF Sir Alfred's
somewhat sudden death the public are
fully aware 1t has been said no one
is so good that he cannot be replaced,
but it will be very difficult indeed to
replace the one whose whole thought
was the good Of his country! 1t is
known he did much for the great cause
of empire, but it may never be known
how much good he did, how he worked
day and night for the one great idea
of his life. He was always ready to
do a kind action, and many of his
noblest deeds were done in secret.
The working and enterprise of the
firm with which was connected can IN
Justice be mentioned, more especially
now that the chief has passed away.
Amongst the great distribution OF the
products of Jamaica over Europe and
America none stands higher than the
firm which was formed on the advice
of Sir Alfred Jones, who introduced
Jamaican bananas into Britain, and
it worked increasingly till he had con-
uuered and the business became so i'm
mense that he was called the Banana
King"

OUTBOUND ALIENS
MUST unwind TAPE
New Federal Regulation Makes
Leaving Country as Hard
as Entering
Departing Tourists Must Tell
Real Names and Disclose
Their Pasts

A new regulation of the immigration
department goes into effect October
which will encompass the departure
from this country of the alien traveller
with as much red tape as now enwraps
his arrival. The steamship companies
engaged in cross sea passenger traffic
view the approach of October l with
good deal of unrest, as they fear that
the enforcement of the new rule will
have the effect of diverting much tour
ist travel from the United States.
The new rule, which is number %,
provides that list of outward bound
aliens shall be delivered to the collec-
tor of customs by the masters of YES
sells taking passengers out of the
United States. This list must be filed
before the vessel will be granted clear
ance papers.
In addition to securing the name of
each passenger the steamship company
must in the case of aliens, have a rec
ord of his or her age, sex, nationality,
race, country of residence before COM
ing to the. United States, time of last
arrival in the United States, last resi-
dence in the United States, country of
intended future residence and occupa
tion. In the case of citizens of the
United States only the name, sex and
age need be noted.
The enforcem ant of this rule is ex
pectej to make much trouble for the
passenger agents of the companies, as
the average tourist can be depended
upon to resent most of the questions
that Uncle Sam says he must answer
before he can leave the land of the
free. 1t is hard enough now for the
immigration inspectors to get the well
to do tourist to discuss such intimate
affairs as the amount of his pile the
legality of his marriage and his views
on political and social matters. The
new rule will also make it impossible
for the belated traveller to take passage
at the last moment or a any time after
the ship has been cleared at the custom
house.
The copy of the new law was re-
ceived with groans which will increase.
in intensity as the time draws near
for it's enforcement.
The immi grafton bureau calls the
new rule an amendment of statisti-
cal regulations of July l, 1907"
The steamship companies have an
other name for it.

FISH TRUST PUTS
TRUST IN DENIALS
Octopus Squirms Under Fire
and Uses Short, Ugly
Words
Alleged WiCkedness OF POrt0la
Company Was Reason for
Crushing 1t

The fish trust submitted further evil
dence yesterday in Judge Hunts court
as defense to the suit for $4,000 dam
ages of the Portola fish company. A
Della Nina, employed by the Portola
company during the three months of
it's struggling existence. but now work
ing for the Western fish company, one
of the defendant corporations. stated
that in December, 1909. the Portola
Company sold crabs to the st. Francis
Hotel and to Thompson's restaurant.
December is one of the months during
which it is unlawful to sell crabs.
Nina also said that the partners in
the Portola company had only $1,02S
when they opened business. The plain
tiffs have testified they put $4,000 into
their business. Nina admitted on cross
examination that after two weeks re-
ltailers would not go to the store of
the Portola company. but telephoned
for fish. He also admitted having de-
livered fish in secret places, such as
stables and saloons.
A. Mancini, a retailer at 21S5 Fill
more street, testified that he purchased
fish from the Portola company, and was
not warned by Paladini or the Western
company not to do SO. He admitted to
James a. Devote, attorney for the
plaintiff company. that he did not go
for the fish, but telephoned.
P. Matiliano, another retailer who
stated that he had not been warned to
boycott the Portola company, amplified
his testimony on cross examination by
saying that C. Tofanelli, a retailer. had
told him that he was on the blacklist
and that the witness had better be
careful or he would also find his name
on that list. Thereafter he telephoned
to the Portola company for what fish
he wanted, but discontinued visiting
the store.
r. Anea, manager of the Oakland
branch of the Western fish company
contradicted the testimony of twelve
Oakland peddlers who had said he re-
fused them fish so long they bought
from the Portola company. Anea was
somewhat violent in his language
while on the stand. and referring to
Bertucelli. one of the II peddlers, said:
He's a liar.
T. Borzote, an employe of the West
ern fish company, denied having fol-
lowed the wagons of the Portola COM
pany to ascertain to whom fish was be-
ing delivered The trial Will be re-
sumed Monday.
