.SAMPANS FISH IN
HARBOR channel

Evidently thinking the middle Of the
harbor channel was a much better
place to fish in than the rolling deep
outside, two Japanese sampans an
chored in the middle of the channel,
half way down, last night and proceed
ed to fish.
They were warned by the keeper
of Honolulu harbor light, on Sand
Island. not to block the fairway by
anchoring there. but ignored the
warning. Capt. William r. Foster,
the harbormastcr. was advised Of the
situation and lost no time in order
ing the sampans' shippers to move at
once. They did so.
The harbormaster today reported
the case to the customs authorities.
The sanlpans' numbers were 1872 and
"a. There is'a federal regulation that
no vessel can anchor in a fairway
and Acting Collector of Customs Ray
mer Sharp is expected to look into the
case further as it comes within his
jurisdiction as acting collector Of the

Cable advices received today by the
Merchants5 Exchange from San Fran

E. Moody sailed on January 3. The
port she left from is not mentioned,
but it is believed to be Newcastle.
The Moody was there waiting to load

LONDON, Eng.-Quite a change has
come over the shipping auction mar.
ket and whereas there was formerly
the keenest anxiety to secure second
hand tonnage at extreme prices, the
reverse is now the case. Recently at
the Baltic exchange salesroom the
khediyisl Mail Steamship Company's
four steamers, the Inc, Chaplain,
Hcrsham and 1smalia were put up for
auction. but so few bids were received
that they were all withdrawn The
Chaplain of 1910 tons was taken il.
after G25,000 pounds was bid, and
the Horsham of $50 tons at $4,000.
This sharp change in the minds OF
owners is attributed to uncertainty re-
garding the shipping outlook conse,
quent on the appointment of a ship
ping controller and possible further
radical changes by government order
