Of several hundred newspaper men

last speech on his list as executive

ana declared that he expected to re-
turn to Washington IN the future to
sit and chat with his newspaper
friends over the doings of another
administration. which, like his own,
might make mistakes.
1t was a most unusual speech, one
of the frankest those who have OBJ

FISHERMEN TO
MAKE FURTHER
. TEST OF Law

Confident that the nehu-net law Is
not constitutional, Notwithstanding
the decision of the supreme court
to the contrary. fishermen on this isl
and are preparing to bring second
test case OF the law, urging as the
basis f0I the suit that IL the nehu-
net statute is enforced q fish famine
will follow. Charles Chillingworth,
attorney for Japanese fish hui, stat
ed this morning that no time viii be
lost In prosecuting the action.
While the test suit recently decid,
ed, which began in Wailuku, turned
upon the contention that the territor-
ial government did not have the pow
er to regulate fishing in the sea wat
ers about the island: that power, it
vas urged was vested in the federal
government; the action now contem-
plated will be fought upon the point
that the law is unreasonable, unjust,
and its effect not realized by the leg
islature which gave birth to the law.
Attorney Chillingworth is inclined
to admit that the territory has the
right to make reasonable regulations
for fishing. but he believes when it
is shown that q regulation is pernic-
lous or disastrous to the fishing bus
mess, which he declares the nehu-
net law to be. it should be annulled.
The legislature never realized the
effect of the law At first glance the
statutes seems harmless II merely
says that nehu shall not be fished for
1rfft w.4Rc IN, 81 10 IN
length. 1t is not until one locks into
the fishing business that it is realiz-
ed how impossible it is to catch nehu
with twelve foot net. To catch
them a purse-net is necessary, which
must be more than II feet long.
"It.is impossible to take the fish in
any other way. The nehu Is bait
hsh, and it is used to catch the aku.
a ne aku is also a bait fish; quite a
bit larger than the nehu, and is used
for getting deep sea fish. Now with
the enforcement OF the nehu law, no
aku can be caught, and without aku
no bait can be had for deep sea fish
Nehu is also used to catch other fish
besides aku. 1t is a very important
bait fish.
IF we do not succeed in our test
suit it looks like fish shortage will
hit Honolulu. Fish are already
scarce; the price is high because the
market is increasing and the supply
diminishing
The Wailuku test suit was first de-
cioed by Judge w. A Mckay; the
supreme court sustaining his decision

CIVIL SERVICE
COMMISSIONERS
MEET WEDNESDAY,
Rule Affecting Police Rewards
Not PopuI Iar viii Chief y
McDuffie

In the absence Of Senator Ambrose
y. Wirtz, chairman of the civil service
commission. meeting of that body
was not held last evening. Senator
Wirtz is i'll. The meeting has been
postponed subject to the cali of The
chair; probably it will not be held un-
til next Wednesday.
The police rules and regulations
will be taken up at the coming meet
ing and they probably will be adopted
The commissioners have been pro-
'vided with copies of the draft as pre-
pared by Senator Wirtz, and no OBJ
jections to the provisions so far have
been made. He observes that the
rules and regulations for the police
are longer than those of
other departments Possibly some OF
the regulations are more drastic. or
at least have a more drastic effect on
the police force than the regulations
for the fire department. In one in
stance, that of special compensations,
both departments have precisely the
same rule, rule by which all such
extra awards or compensations shall
be put in fund and not kept by the
one who happens to receive it.
In the case of the fire department
no objection was heard, because it is
said the money received by the men
under this head amounts to little. In
the case of the police department,
conditions are said to be different. 1t
is estimated that the rewards received
by Chief of Detectives McDuffie, who
by virtue of his position has received
the large bulk of the rewards, amount
to several hundred dollars year. The
truth of this may be questioned, but
at any rate McDuffie is undoubtedly
with the idea of giving up
his extra money, and an effort there
fore may be made to have the rule
quashed.

Reports Are Tint he Is Sup.
porting PinIsh M and May
Return with Him

Delegate Knhio is planning to leave
Washington next Monday for Hawaii,
and Is expected here as soon; as rail
road and steamship lines can bring
him. According to news received by
John Colburn, treasurer and manager
Of the Kapiolani Estate, the delegate
will not tarry long ON the coast. He
IS anxious to get back to Hawaii for
a brief vacation before the winter
term of Congress.
The senate having passed the su-
gar tariff bill by an emphatic vote
and the differences between house
and senate measures being almost
certain to be speedily smoothed out,
the delegate has mo reason for re-
naming in Washington during the
remainder of the extra session. He
has done all he could on behalf of the
sugar tariff, but could do little to stop
the free-sugar sentiment Of the Dem
ccratic majority
So far as is known, Delegate Kuhio
has adhered to his original deter
mination to uphold the nomination
of L. E. Pinkham for governor The
delegate is said to be well satisfied
that Pinkham feels about the same
way he does on a desirable land poi
icy for Hawaii and 1t is not unlikely
that. If Pinkham,s confirmation should
be expected early next week. Kuhio
would wait few days for the sem
ate to pass final approval on the
nomination and then return to Ha-
waii with the new executive.

PORTOLA PARADE

If it is found that there is enough
money on hand to warrant the ex-
pense, the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee will direct an automobile float
to be entered in the San francisco
Portola festival parade. So stated H.
p. Wood, secretary Of the committees
this morning.
A meetink of the committee viii Be
held this afternoon at its rooms at
$3.50 o'clock, and at that time the IL
hancial condition of the committee
will be made known. To enter float
in the parade viii cost in the neigh
borhood of $500, says god. Less
money could be spent on one, to be
sure, but a float as the secretary
plans it, one attractive and artistic
and suggestive of the beauty Of Ha-
wall. can not be had for less than
$500. he says.
