'"The sultan of Solo, a handsome
man of 40, is always marrying some
new wife. And, because of the dis
tinction such attention confers upon
the family of each additional bride,
he practically has his choice of any
unmarried native woman.
'The older he gets the younger are
the new wives he selects. The same
is true of the sultan of Djokya, the
other sedan of Java, who is now in
his 18th year.
There is no doubt that the people
and there are 45,0O0,0 900 in Java
are happier under the Dutch govern
ment rule than they were when the
sUltans and the princes exercised full
control Before that the sultan could
take anything he coveted = gold,
crops, animals, daughters and wives,
as his fancy dictated. Now there is
justice.
But among the upper caste Of ma
tives there is smoldering discomfort
at the restrictions exercised upon
their old Iicentious freedom. It might
break into fame at any time.
''The Dutch government realizes it
and for that reason the authorities
have mounted cannon overlooking
the palace enclosure, trained into the
four corners of the wall, ready to
blaze away at the slightest sign of
revolt.
"The sultan of Solo,. who has his
own regiment of soldiers, and who
still exercises an almost unbelievable
sway, despite his subservience to the
government, would only have to give
a sign to have every white person in
Java wiped out of existence"

cHIcAGoANs MAY FISH IN The
SMALL PARKS

SMALL PARKS
At the suggestion of Alderman
Coughlin a resolution was adopted
by the special park commissioners
yesterday asking the park boards Of
the city to set aside a weekly fish
ing day. for Chicagoans.
Taking the present prices of
meats into consideration this plan
viii cut the high cost of living" said
the alderman. 81 have learned that
there is a large amount of game fish
in the different park lagoons. Chi
cagoans should be permitted to catch
them" 10
At present fishing is allowed only
in the fall. Park officials say that
each spring the ponds and lagoOns
are stocked with fry and these
should not be mOlested until next
fall.
At present a string of gill nets,
stretching from Wilmette to South
Chicago two miles out in the lake,
cut of Chicago's fish supply. The
'smal-sized perch, those who escaped
these nets, are the only fish which
are caught by ChicagOans.
The Booth fisheries places the
thousands of tons of whitefish, lake
trout, herring and perch, which they
catch in their nets every year, in cold
storage. Every week wagonloads OF
decayed and putrid fish are carried
from their storehouses to be used for
fertilizer.
The waters of Lake Michigan TEEN
with fish. If it were not for the nets
all varieties could be caught next to
the shore line. The waters of the
park lagoons are stagnant and mud
dy. Bass and other game fish find
it hard to exist under such conditions.
Carp, goldfish and bullheads thrive
unmOlested.
