CANAL
SYSTEM FROM new
ENGLAND TO SOUTH

Government ownership Of the four
large inland waterways along the Az
Iantie seaboard. with necessary i'm
provements, would link up q practical
navigation route from New England
points to Southern ports and railway
terminals that would safeguard ship
ping from the menace OF the U-boats
ard provide for the release OF tons Of
freight held in the Industrial districts
of Boston. New York, Philadelphia,
and Norfolk.
Secretary Redefild outlined such q
plan today. II would take in the
Cape Cod canal, the Delaware and
Raritan canal. the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal. and the AIber-
marie and. Chesapeake canal The
authorization for purchase OF the
Cape Cod waterway has already been
made by Congress-. the Secretary said
and the discussion has developed re-
garding the purchase OF the Delaware
and Raritan and the Delaware and
Chesapeake canals. The Aloermarle
and Chesapeake Is Government owned
now, but necessary development and
dredging would produce one OF the
finest continuous waterways in the
country.
New England's coal supply could
be handled entirely along this route,
Secretary Redheld said. and consider
able of the commerce in supplies for
the armies abroad. now shifting up
and down the Atlantic coast ports for
export, could be moved over this
route. It would mean a protected,
easily navigable artery all the way
from Norfolk TO Boston, the Score
tRry pointed out, connecting in the
South with railways to all points and
20 the coastal ports beyond the Caro-
iinaG.
Senator Salisbury Of Delaware has
strongly urged the development Of
the Delaware and Chesapeake canal
both as a commercial project Of vast
Importance and as a unit in the gen
eral strategic value possible In such
an inland system, and Secretary Red
field declared that to make Use Of the
canals would result In great benefits

Auto Killed Calf
Owner Is Fined

John Telles, owner of a herd of
cattle which he is alleged to allow to
pasture along the road near the cleo
trio power station, was fined $10'rtnd
costs in the district court this morn
ing for maintaining a common nui-
sance. Many complaints have been
made about the cattle on the road,
but it remained for Robt. Miller, a
Filipino driver for Santos, to run in
to a calf, kill the animal and smash
up his car, before the matter was
taken up by the authorities.
Complaint was made in the cham
Der of commerce yesterday to the
stray cattle which are permitted to
Craze along the highways. 1t was
stated that considerable damage had
been done by such animals on the Pa
ia-Makawao road where they have de-
stroyed young shade trees planted
through the efforts of ladies of the
community and the plantations.

Chamber Not Keen
On Tourist Campaign

That the Chamber of Commerce has
no funds available from which to pay
the $4,000 suggested by the Honolulu
chamber of commerce towards the
$4,000 tourist fund now being raised,
was the sense of motion made and
carried at the meeting held yesterday
afternoon.
The Maui chamber was clearly not
sanguine on the matter of encourag
ing tourist travel at the present time,
despite the assurances of w. o. All
ken, of the promotion committee, that
the national government was fully
sanctioning such travel, and that Cal
ifornia today has the biggest crop of
tourists on record. Transportation
uncertainties and difficulties were the
chief arguments against the matter.

Turtle Fisherman
Making Good Money
Japanese Leave Business To 0kina.
ganS On Account OF Superstition
Bad Feeling May Result In
Clash

Okinaga fishermen on the Lahaina
side of the island are said to be max
ing a profitable business lately in
catching turtles along the leeward
coast which they sell in Honolulu for
cents per pound. Several tons a
day are being thus taken, according
to those who have kept track of the
matter. The fishing is mostly done
with large nets and by diving after
the animals.
1t is reported that the regular Jap
anese fishermen have a superstition
about turtles which prevents their
them, but the Okinagans
have no such scruples and are reap
ing a harvest in consequence. Feel
ing is growing bitter over the matter,
it is said, because the japanese fisher
men ascribe the long period of stormy
weather, which has interfered with
fishing, to be due to the killing of the
turtles. A clash between the two
classes of fishermen is predicted.

Polo Still To Be
Played On Maui
Ponies, However, Will Have To Work
For Their Living As Cow Ponies
No Fancy Imported Oats For Them
No Inter-Island Contests

Polo will not be abandoned on
Maui this year, as had been decided
upon some time ago as a war con-
seryation measure. Frank Baldwin,
president of the Maui County Fair &
Racing Association made this an
nouncement at the meeting OF the Or
ganization yesterday afternoon.
But the game will probably not be
so fast as heretofore, for the reason
that the ponies will not be trained on
imported feeds as in the past. and
maintained in luxurious idleness be-
tween games. Mr.. Baldwin stated
that of his 20 head of ponies, 10 have
been turned out to pasture, and the
other ten have been given to the
stockmen of the plantation to be used
regularly as cow ponies in place OF
the usual mounts. This, it is belieV-
ed, will keep the animals in fair con-
dition for playing from time to time
There will be no big games but
there should be some interesting con-
tests between local teams, Mr.. Bald
win thinks. 1t has also been suggest
ed that an admission fee be charged
IN the games. the proceeds to be turn
ed over TO the Red Cross.
