"Ah! I begin to understand. You

The bankers wife bowed her head
and collapsed on a chair.

Annie looked at her in amazement.
"Why didn't you come forward at
once?" she cried. Think OF the pain
which you might have spared us! /"
Alicia covered her face with her
handkerchief She was crying now.
1.-The disgrace-the disgrace!" she
moaned.
"Disgrace!" echoed Annie, stupe-
fed Indignantly, she went on: "Dis-
.grace-to you? But what of me and

"Surely you realize the position It
puts me in?"
A new light shone in Armies eyes.
What was this woman's misery to
her? Her duty was to the poor fell
low who was counting the hours until
she could set him Free His stepmoth-

she would have left them both to

Nearly one hundred dollars In coin

recovered at noon today through the
efforts Of Chief Of Detectives McDuf-

ing by day or night. Admiral CoWIes
explains that It Is not the intention,
for the present, at any rate, to re-
strict Honolulu shipping, such as
yachts. schooners. sampans, etc, but
that all deep sea vessels or interisland
ships will have to obtain permission
to enter the harbor.
The government holds absolute con,
troll over the channel which It opened,
and as this is the key to the harbor,
the navy seems to have the final say,
and its regulations to be the last word.
Following are the navy regulations
for Pearl Harbor, in full:
/. All traffic In the dredged chan
mel will be prohibited at such times
as the commandant shall direct.
2. The passage Of all ships II and
out of the dfedged challen at night Is
prohibited.
3. All deep-sea vessels or interis-
land steamships will obtain perniis-
sion from the ,commandant before en-.
tering or leaving Pearl Harbor wa
ters.
4. All vessels are prohibited from
anchoring in the dredged channel.
g. All fishing vessels are prohibited
from working Ii the dredged channel
by day or by night.

There viii be no fishing in the wa
tiers of Pearl Harbor channel, or in
waters adjacent to the naval reserva-
tion, from this date on. Admiral
.Cowles, commandant of the naval sta
ton, this morning issued an order to
this effect, which nullifies any and
all fishing grants for these waters.

monarchy, no matter how long estab-

This ban on fishing IN the dredged

was prepared this morning, regulation

Fishing Prohibition.
All fishing vessels are prohibited
from working in the dredged channel

The object of this regulation" said
Admiral Cowles this morning, "is to
guard against fishermen blocking the.

to the dredged channel and there 10

TENEMENT HOUSE CASES

Upon Investigation before Judge
Monsarrat this morning, Prosecuting
Attorney A. NJ. Brown drew out the
statement from the defendants that
they had been unable to secure IL
censes at the Board of Health office,
the reason given being that the prem
ises occupied by them must be placed
in better sanitary condition before the
necessary permit would be issued.
The defendants entered the plea
that inasmuch as they were tenants
and therefore did not own the build

ing in Honolulu harbor and just out
of quarantine after arriving from Aus
tralia, where they will greet the Right
Honorable James Bryce, ambassador
extraordinary and minister plenipoten-
tiary from England to the United
States.
This is not the distinguished visit
or's first appearance in Honolulu, as
he spoke few years ago at Oahu
College, and as his present visit will
be very brief, no plans for feasting
or speech-making in his honor have
been made.
The Ambassadors plans for en-
ploying the short time of his stay in
the city will not be known until the
local representatives meet him aboard
the ship. It is considered likely, how
ever, that If any formal call is made,
it will be visit to Rear Admiral
Walter C. Cowles, when the guns at
the naval station will boom forth the
international salute.
Ambassador Bryce probably will
prefer, however, to give most of, his
time to an automobile tour through
the city, with possibly a brief visit to
Oahu College.
