REGULATIONS ISSUED FOR
UNLICENSED SEAMEN

There has been considerable misun,
derstanding as to what seamen must
do in order to secure employment on
American ships. Here is what every
unlicensed employe on any vessel
must do:
If an American citizen, must have
certificate of citizenship, although
born in this country, with photograph
attached.
If an alien, not of enemy country,
must have certificate of nationality
and identity, with full description,
with photograph attached.
If an alien of any enemy country,
must have special certificate, issued
only through the department of JUS
tice, and obtained from the United
States attorney.
Officers with licenses, both deck
and engine, are advised that it would
be better to have their photographs
attached to the reverse side of theu
licenses.
All seamen must be supplied with q
regular discharge book.
Officials of the Seamen's Union are
attending to the details of certifica-
ton. The main thing is for all sea-
men to apply at union headquarters.
and see that they have the necessary
papers. This will obviate delays
which have held up coastwise vessels
during the last few days.

TRANSPORTATION
CAUSE OF WORRY
TO ARCHITECTS

The end of the year sees the archi'
tects busily engaged finishing up their
old work and preparing for 1918.
While the war has curtailed consider,
ably the erection of new. homes and
office buildings, architects say. that
they expect a reasonably brisk bust
ness next year.
The principal problem confronting
the architects and contractors is the
transportation to the islands of suf-
ficient material, particularly cement.
At present number of contractors
and engineering firms have on hand q
fair supply of cement, but with the
road work planned by the city and
county government and the general
daily demand 1t will only be a matter
of time before the supply is exhausted
unless suitable. transportation facili-
ties are made available.
Emory & Webb report that the
Campbell block at the corner of Fort
and Hotel streets is progressing salts.
factorily and work of putting in the
floor of the fourth story is now under
way. 1t is not the intention of the
Campbell Estate, to erect the fourth
story at this time, but the floor is
being laid for the future.
Ripley & Davis say that the Won
Hamm-Young garage on AIakea street
is near completion, as is the Nuuanu
Y. NJ. C. A. and several more build.
ings of the Japanese hospital are
closed in.

ITALIAN name,
GERMAN SPEECH,
RUSS PASSPORT

An Italian nams, a Russian passport
and a German tongue is combina-
ton that has resulted in the deten.
ton at the immigration station Of
Louis Cecchini, a sailor taken from
the barkentine Olympic, shortly after
her arrival here from a South Amer
lean port. His German tongue is all
that Is believed to be real and this
may lead to his internment until after
the war. -, -. =.
Capt. A. Biederman, master of the
vessel says he knows nothing about
the sailor, other than that he was
shipped aboard the Olympic by the
American consul at Antofagasta, Chile.
However, he adds, as the man claims
to be from Libau, which is near the
German-Russian border, there may be
a reason for his multiple nationality
characteristics. 'Its rather a mixed
country around Libau," the captain
says, who is Of German birth, but a
naturalized American IL. :
The Olympic is the vessel formerly
COMMANDED by Capt. T. II. Evans,
known here for ten years, who is re-
ported to have been killed by a re-
volyer shot in Antofagasta. Few de-
tails of the shooting have been re-
ceiyed here The Olympic, which is
now owned by the Crowley Tug Co.
of San Francisco. is just completing
a Is months voyage. She went to
Melbourne with q lumber cargo from
q northwest port and then took coal
from Newcastle to Chile. Shortly
after starting her voyage she lost the
upper part of her mizzen mast which
has never been repaired. .t...
After the former captain was killed
in Antofagasta, Capt. Biederman. the
former nate, took command and
brought her to Honolulu in IS days.
He made the voyage without any as
sistant officers, but picked out two
sailors to stand the first and second
officers watches. Necessarily, under
such conditions the voyage was one
Of considerable difficulty to him.

long FIN TUNA
DISCOVERED HERE

The discovery of a species of tuna
which fish experts, such as David
Starr Jordan, have declared did not in.
habit the waters about the Hawaiian
Islands, has been made by Karl c.
Envoldsep, well-known coast fisher
man WHO is visiting here.
The tuna in question is the long-fin
tuna, or albacore, as it is more COM
monty known along the California
coast. The tuna common to these wat
ers is the yellow-fin. tuna and until
Mr.. Envoldsen noticed this new fish
one morning at the fish market its
presence here was unknown.
There is, however, a slight differ
ence between this and the California
variety in that the upper finlets are
yellow edged with black while the
latter are black. AS a result it may
be an entirely new species, although
Mr.. Frvoldsen believes that it is the
same fish, as often there is a slight
difference in the markings, such as
this, when the same fish inhabits diff.
ferent waters.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Nattonal
fmpatience at the shipping delay caused
by the Goethals-Denman row broke out
in the senate today when resolution
was adopted demanding from President
Wilson full information on details OF
the fight.
Increased Irritation has been evident
in congress at the Goethals-Den1nan af-
fair for several days, prompted by
widespread feeling throughout the coun-
try that the need for immediate ship
construction is shown by Germany's ire
mendous U-boat successes against allied
shipping.
The resolution asks for full informa-
ton on the causes and results of the
Denman-Goethals row. 1t also asks
facts concerning methods Of work of the
shipping board, number of contracts
awarded or pending for various sorts of
ships, and the price per ton to be paid
