HAWAII WELL EQUIPPED WITH
WIRELESS, sAYSL. R. KRUMM
Amateur Operators Are Warned Against Using Apparatus
Without License and of the Penalty Attached to DScloS
ng the Contents Of Message to Any but the Person to
Whom II Is Sent

Uncle Sam, whose children have
always been quite care to him, ST
much SO that he has built a few nice
stone jails to put an assortment OF
the worst ones in, does not mind per-
mitting amateurs to operate their
little wireless stations, sending out
random messages over the sea, but
he has begun to insist that the anna.
teur follow certain rules.
Consequently, L. r. Krumm, of the
department oil commerce and labor,
rs In this city warning the youthful
operators against sending messages
or operating q station without a IL
cense and also pointing out that there
Is a severe punishment attached to
disclosing the contents of a message
TO one other than the person to whom
It is sent.
Mr.. Krumm has been here since
June 4, during which time he has in
epected practically every commercial
plant on the islands. He declares
that after making a careful inspec-
ton and comparison that Hawaii is
one of the best wireless equipped
points in the country and that it is
now capable of doing a vast amount
of practical commercial work, which
was. a few years ago. done by cable
Or mail.
He has now finished his inspection
work and will return to the mainland
on the Sierra Saturday During his
presence here he has cleared up many
of the doubts and uncertainties in
the minds of wireless men regarding
the purport Of new regulations and
statutes, practically all of which have
been put into effect since the Titanic.
disaster, which graphically brought
to the attention of the government
the need of more specific and effect
i've regulations in the use of wireless
both On ships and ashore.
Many of the new regulations hit at
the amateurs. who have built their
little stations for experiment. Though
the government, says Mr.. Krumm,
does not wish to stop them, 1t wishes
to bring them under regulation and
for that purpose all stations which
end messages of any kind and all
operators must obtain a license. No
cost is attached to having license
issued either as an operator or for
a station. The applicant for an oper-
ators license may obtain one at the
naval station by passing a short ex-
animation.
One of the new statutes which Mr..
tiumm has discussed considerably
while here is that relating to the
secrecy of messages. This section
provides that any one who divulges
he contents of message transmitted

local army men, which is a foregone
conclusion; for the evening premier
card OF fights will be put on, the best
mitt-men of the post contesting.
In order to carry out the plan out
lined by the Schofied boys 1t will be
necessary for transportation arrange
ments to be made locally. The army
post will provide the entertainment
and all that is necessary will be to
arrange for the visitors to be taken

will be necessary to charter a spe-
cial train to leave Honolulu In the
morning and return in the evening.
The committee named by the Brit

deayoring to raise $1,000 to be ex-
pended in the city and II is suggest

Following a lengthy discussion by
the commissioners with regard to the
transfer Of teachers and the employs
ment Of new instructors. the matter
was brought up referring to those
teachers who are married to men earn
ing good salaries, but who continue
TO teach In the public schools. This
led to the why and wherefore of such
an action being taken, and the ex-
PLANTATION as set forth by Superintend-
ent Gibson was to the effect that il
seemed more advisable to employ
those persons who were entirely de.
pendent upon their own efforts for

consideration only those married

HEADQUARTERS
OF navy Will
!. SOON BE MOVED

The naval establishment of Oahu
will be transferred to Pearl Harbor
inside of a month, according to Ad-
nairal Moore The commandment STAT
ed this morning that such good prog
ress was being made with the admin
istration building at the new cation,
that when the visiting British Hattle-
cruiser New Zealand completes her
visit to this port, he would be ready
to transfer naval headquarters from
Honolulu to Pearl Harbor.
Some months ago the public works
officer, Civil Engineer e. r. Galyer,
transferred his office and stan from
the city to the new station Then
the paymaster followed suit, moving
his Office as general storekeeper to
the harbor. Now that the admins
tration building is practically ready,
for occupancy, the commandant and
his clerical force, and the captain of
the yard will make the move, and
the Honolulu station will be praeti-
cally deserted.
Pearl Harbor is hive of industry
these days, and stoppage of work on
the dryoock hasn't appreciably slack
ened the general pace. OIL tanks,
pipe lines, buildings, shops and quar-
ters are taking definite shape, while
pipe lines, sewage system and road
ways are being rushed to completion.
A look at Pearl HarboF today would
C4spel any rumors emenating from
the coast that the entire station was
to be abandoned.
The report on the drydock site has
not reached Washington as yet, and
it will be some time before its recon-
mendations are known here. 1t is an
absolute certainty, however, that
some sort of drydock will be built
at Pearl Harbor and the chances seem
to be that craving dock, along the
lines originally laid out, will be con-
structed.

Honolulu is facing fishless Friday.

little In stock and that at a high price.
Fish such as kahala and kumu,
which usually Sch at from 8 to 10
cents per pound, were quoted this
morning at Is cents wholesale and 18
cents retail. Inquiry at various mar
kets showed that there was only a
few pounds on hand and the dealers
said frankly that they look for a fa-
mine tomorrow. Friday.
The prospect Of fish famine came

Japanese press began to comment on
the operations of the act of the last
legislature which prohibits the taking

IMMIGRATION
BOARD AFTER
100000 FUND
Supreme Court To Be Asked to
Pass on Another Point
in Controversy

Facing the possible loss OF $4,000
through the decision Of the supreme
court recently, which held against the
territory in the nowtnoted income tax
case, the territorial board of immigra-
tion has decided to carry to the SUI
preme court a resulting question On
the division of the conservation fund.
The question will be carried up on an
agreed statement of facts. and the
boards interests will be looked after
by the firm of Holmes & Stanley.
Discussion of this matter occupied
the attention of the board this morn
ing for, some time The supreme
court recently held that the income
tax law passed by the last Legislature
became applicable on the returns from
the 1912 assessments. whereas the
legislature, it was otherwise contend.
ed, had meant the law to begin with
the 1913 assessments.
Under the former law. the special

divided three-foHrths TO the depart
ment of immigration and one-fourth TO

1t was estimated this morning that
at least $500 worth of fish used to
be put on the market here every morn
ing. Now the average has fallen to
about $500 worth.
The mullet is more of rich mans
fish. and is always In demand at a
high price. While highly priced by
the poorer people, it is too expensive
for many of them. Now even the COM
moner and cheaper kinds of fish are
going up to an exorbitaEt figure and
what is more. it-looks as il there will
be little supply. The fishermen so far
have been unable to get any appre-
ciable number of nehu and iau in the
12-foot nets.

MAY
HELP TO STORE
Army SUPPLIES

The territory's big immigrant re-
ceiying station, at the foot Of Alakea
street and almost directly opposite
the navy docks, may be used for the
storing OF the military supplies that
are pouring into Honolulu.
This morning the board OF immigra-
lion, at a meeting held in the offices
of Davies & Co., took up q tentative
proposal from Maj. B. Frank Cheat
ham, department quartermaster. for
the use of part of the station. Mem
hers of the board learned that sup
plies for the department Of Hawaii
are coming in here faster than the
limited accommodations can care for.
The growth of the army here in the
last two or three years. together with
the coming of more troops recently,
has resulted in the chain OF supplies
being larger than the regular receiy-
ing space.
A committee consisting Of A. L. G.
Atkinson. F. L. Waldron and E. H
Wodehouse was named to meet Maj.
Cheatham and make a survey OF the
situation at the territorial station,
and the survey was made at 1880
o'clock this morning. A decision will
shortly be reached. and 1t seemed
probable this morning that the re-
quest of the army authorities will be
granted.
The arny's regular supplies, 1t was
shown, have reached very large to-
tai.

GORE AMENDMENT ADOPTED
Designs to Prevent Collection Of
ss,5OO,OOO on McMurray
Contracts

Washington, June 1.-THE greatest
step in the fight to kill the contracts
between J. f. McMurray of McAlester,
Oklahoma, and members Of the five
civilized tribes in Oklahoma was taken
Monday afternoon by the senate In
dian affairs committee when II adopted
an amendment to the general Indian
appropriation bill which Is designed
to prevent McMurray's collection Of
50, 100000 from the Indians.
The senate Indian affairs committee
was in session from morning until late
in the afternoon and during almost the
entire time the McMurray contracts
we're under consideration.
Owing to the fact that it was feared
the Gore amendment against the Nc
Murray contracts was so sweeping in
its words that 1t might prevent all In.
dams making contracts of whatsoever
character. substitute was adopted by
the committee, which reads:
NO contract with an Indian where
such contract relates to the triba'
funds or property in the hands of the
United States shall be valid nor shall
any payment be made unless the con
sent of the United States has beer
previously given"
The contract matter, will, aftel
being acted upon by the senate, go t
conference committee and it is ex
pected the clause as adopted Monday
will remain in the measure through
out and until the Indian bill become
a law.
