INDIANAPOLIS, October l4.-Sec-
rotary of the Treasury McAdoO, ad'
dressing business men here yesterday,
declared another ship purchase bin prob
ably would be introduced in the next
Congress. This one will call for an
appropriation of $5O,00O,OOO to be ex-
pended in the purchase Of ships for the
creation of huge American marine,
The secretary declared failure Of Con
gress to pass the administration ship
purchase measure last year has cost
the United States dearly. There would
have been no suspension of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company if the bill
had become a law, the secretary added.
Government Would Have Bought
& Instead, the Pacific Mail would have
been. purchased by the government and
the American flag would still be flying
on trans-Pacifc routes.
Mr.. McAdoo outlined the bill that
probably will be urged at the coming
session. He said it was proposed to
create shipping board made up of
the. secretaries of the navy and com.
rnerce and three other men to be select
ed by the President. The board would
be confirmed by the Senate. This. Mr.
McAdoo asserted, would put the board
above the reach of politics.
The board would be empowered to
establish steamship lines, operate ships
, lease the ships of other lines and ia
provide for the Improvement of naviga
ton generally as it would affe t the
merchant marine.

Ships purchased by the government
| with the appropriation of $4,000, 900
Mr.. McAdoo said, would be used as
auxiliaries in the navy in event of war
but as the promoters of foreign trade
in time of peace.
The secretary pointed out that op
portunity knocks on the door of Amer
lea in the matter Of foreign trade. The
war tied the hands of the powers Of
Europe, he asserted, leaving a world
market only waiting to be seized by
this country.
! This cannot be done without ships
! he declared and the administration sees
as the only hope for American trade
conquest the creation of a merchan
marine along the lines of the one pro
, posed in the ship purchase bill las
year.
That bill, it will be recalled, wa
defeated by. record flibuster conduct

FISH TRAPS COME
UNDER BAN
Authorities On Oahu Take Steps
To Eradicate All Such
Devices

Fish traps are coming up regularly
and for good. The last Legislature
passed law making it unlawful to
heh for any kind of fish with a wire.
netting trap or device, and the law is
being rigidly enforced all over the
island of Oahu.
year or 80 ago fishing with traps
came into popularity among the Ha
waliana Of Honolulu. They made great
box like rontrivances Of piping and WIRE
netting, INTO which the fish could gain
entrance but not egrcss. The mOdus
Operandl was to take the trap to some
spot near the mouth of the harbor or
along the reef, and after batting it with
bread, to leave it couple of days,
MAJ king the SPOT where it was placed,
with a submerged buoy
Fish of all sorts and sizes would be
found III the trap, the catch sometimes
realizing $40
Meat or fish was not used for bait,
on account of its attraction for cells,
small sharks and other marine scaven-
gers. 1t was not long before the man
ufacturc of fish traps began to be quite
an industry. Hundreds were sold aud
in some cases a hui Of fishermen would
control and operate a dozen traps.
Then the Filipino started in the trap
business Of his own. His trap was n
much more elaborate affair and was set
in the shallow water Of the reef. There
would be a guidc-way bounded by stout
netting and gradually getting narrower,
along which the fish would move with
the tide. This guide way at its mar
row end took the fish into a large
fenced enclosure, out Of which tho
fish were unable to pass. The
fish would get into the trap al
high tide and would be taken out II
low tld". Enormous catches were made
with this kind Of trap, and folk began
installing devices along the shadows Oh
the kaneOhe side.
Deputy Sheriff r. W. Davis of Koo-
IaupOkO was the first man to take action
| III the matter. Some time ago he ar.
rested three F'ilipinos who were opera.
ting trap at Kaalen, and they were
! sentenced by Judge Monsarrat to pay a
fine Of so and costs each. Then Capt.
John InO0, at llauula, notified Manuel
~ lVester that his big trap must come
up. Sylvester refused to remove the
! trap and questioned Paoo : authority to
make him. As a result warrant was
issued for Sylvester : arrest and he was
ordered to remove his trap forthwith.
Along the Koolaupoko and Ko0lauloa
coasts the traps have nearly all been
taken up and the wire netting of which
hey were made lies in piles along the
| shore
A number Of traps are still in use in
and about Honolulu but 1t is expected
that they will be abandoned just as
soon ~ 70" ~ the offenders have been
: arrested and fined. .~

VAST INCREASE
FOR ARMY ALSO
lSONPROGRAM|
Plan Of Secretary Of War Con-
templates Standing Army Of
About 10000 Men
ASSOCIATED Press by Federal wirelsss)

WASHINGTON, October l4--What
ever President Wilson may want 10 do
in reducing or holding down appropria-
tions for national defense by the next
congress, his advisers are a unit in
elamorihg for n vast increase In the
amounts annually spent on the army
and navy.
II was learned yesterday that the
President e advisers are urging him to
go on record in favor of an appropria
ton by congress of $400, 100000 for the
army and navy. This amount repre-
sents an approximate increase Of $l4O,-
100000 over the appropriation last
year.
The plans as outlined by the secre-
tary of war and as interpreted by ad-
visels of the President are believed to
include recommendation for an increase
in the personnel of the standing army
from 10000 to 10000 with reserve
force of 100000 to be obtained through
short-term enlistments.
Plan To Rush Measure
Preparations are being made by vii.
son leaders in Congress for giving the
army and navy bills the right Of way
and II their plans are successful an
early despatch Of this business may be
made.
Proponents of a big army and big
navy are working hard here. in their
campaign for improvement of the ma
tional defense, and much pressure from
many sources is being brought to beal
on members Of congress. -,
An equally hard effort is being made
by the opponents Of the increase and Il
IL considered likely that a hard fight
will come on the defense measures
The little army and navy men are
leaving no stone unturned to block the
path of their opponents. %
The four battleship plan, which was
discarded in the last Congress after
bitter fight, two battleships being
voted as in previous years, will be urge
again and there are indications that the
opposition will not be as vigorous.
Many Monster Ships az
Details were announced yesterday il
regard to the proposed fve-year build
ing program of the navy department
1t is part Of the program to have fOul
I battleships authorized the first year ant
three the second, and as many in thu
succeeding years as necessary to pro
vide for between fifteen and twenty
ships of the first line in five years.
