A Sharking Party
Lands Very Big Fish

A bunch of Waikiki fishing en-
thusiasts, headed by Harry Gesner,
caught a fourteen-foot shark off
Kihei last Sunday. They went
out Saturday night, and early in the
day felt something on their line.
Drawing it in until very close the fun
started. The big fish was harpooned,
shot and successfully landed. 1t was
one of the largest sharks caught here
in a long time, weighing, perhaps,
more than half ton.
A Honolulu party has also been do
ing some sharking off Maui, as the
following from a city paper early in
the week will show:
1t was Friday night before the first
of the three big sharks was hooked,
while the sampan was off the coast of
Maui near Makena. Here the sharks
are reported to be very plentiful, but
apparently not very hungry, as hun
dreds of them swan about the sam
pan before the bait was taken.
One of the sharks brought in by the
Ten jim Maru weighed $50 pounds,
was fully twelve feet long and
measured two feet from the base of
the skull to the tip of the snoot. Be
fore this shark could be pulled in
anywhere near the sampan it had to
be shot One of the other sharks
weighed 40 pounds.
The sharks were skinned upon
reaching Honolulu, and the skins are
to be sent to the mainland for an eX-
pertinent in making leather from
them. An experiment will also be
conducted in drying the meat for use
as fertilizer and attempts made to
find some practical use for the fms.

400 MINERS co TO ST. LOUIS
Delegation Of RussellVIiIe, Ala, Miners
Leave TO Appear Before Members
Of the War Labor Beard.

Russellville, Ala--A delegation OF
miners, representing Russellville Min.
ers' Union No. 161 eft for st, Louis,
Mo-, to appear before members Of the
war labor board in that city and lay
their claims before the board in an ef-
fort to have the companies of this
city comply with their demands for
higher wages and better working con.
ditions. More than 400 miners quit
their work at the Sloss mines week
ago and general strike at all the 9TH
er mines is now threatened
The men claim that since scarcity of
men occurred more than two months
ago they have been doing double work
and that the company officials have
failed to increase their wages, as prom
ised. The men claim that where five
men were formerly employed to run
the steam shovels three men are now
doing the work at the old price Of la
Dor when five men we're employed. OF.
ficials of the union state that week
after week the employers promised
the increase, but so far they have
failed to make good their promise, and
as result the large holdings of one
company are practically at a stand
still today.

REDUCTION IN COAL PRICE
a Reduction Of zoe Per Ton to the
Public Was Proposed to Pres
ldent Wilson.

Washington.-Re Reduction Of the price
Of coal about 20 cents a ton to the
public was proposed to President viii
son by the railroad administration as
the proper course If railroads are re-
quired to pay much more for coal than
they have paid under private opera
ton.
Under Fuel Administrator Garfield's
urgent recommendation that railroads
distribute cars evenly to all mines,
eliminating the 100 per cent supply to
those holding railroad contracts, the
railroad administration now is repre-
scented as willing to pay about 81
ton, or nearly so cents more than the
present average. Since railroads use
about one-third Of the total bituminous
coal production of the United States,
railroad administration officials be-
lieve the price to the public would be
reduced in accordance with the In
creased price by the roads.

TRANSPORT SUNK;
FIFTY-SIX MISSING
BRITISH ARMED TRooPsHIP WITH
AMERICAN TROOPS ON BOARD
ToRPEDoEp IN CHANNEL.
TORPEDOED BY SUBMARINE
Americans on Board Showed No Panic
When the Ship Was Struck, Lin.
ing Up and Debarklng With
Remarkable Nerve.

London.-The British armed mer
chant troopship Moldavia, with Ameri
can troops on board, has been torpe
doed and sunk, according to an off
cial bulletin issued by the admiralty
Fifty-six American troopers have
been unaccounted for, says the officla
statement.
The Moldavia was torpedoed with
out warning. 1t was q moonlight
night, and although a good lookout
was kept, the attacking submarine
was not sighted before the torpedo
struck.
Most OF the men aboard we're in
their hammocks when the explosion
occurred amidships. The sailors and
soldiers alike showed no panic.
They fell calmly into line and
awaited orders. When it was seen
that the Moldavia was settling down
all on board we're taken off by the .es-
corting ships. The men lost all their
belongings, but were supplied with
new clothing at the different naval
ports where they we're taken.
1t is believed that the American sol
diers missing from the Moldavia we're
sleeping on the bottom deck and
were overtaken by the great thrush Of
water, after the explosion, when they
we're trying to reach the main deck.
1t also is presumed that some Of the
Ladders were destroyed
The vessel was struck below the
bridge. She steamed ahead for s)me
time after being struck and at first 1t
was hoped that her water-tight com
partments would enable her to reach
port
Survivors agree that the MoIdavia
was torpedoed and not mined. One
seaman said:
I'VE we're proceeding up the chan
mel bound for an English port. The
weather was fine and there was
bright moonlight. We felt an explo-
sion amidships. The ship had been
struck just below the bridge, but we
could see no submarine.
There were some destroyers con-
voying us and they at once scattered
around in search of the submarine.
Only one torpedo was fired.
"When It was realized that we
should have to abandon the vessel the
destroyers came alongside to take off
the troops"
The text OF the admiralty state
ment follows:
"The armed mercantile cruiser Mol
davia was torpedoed and sunk
There we're no casualties among
the crew, but of the American troops
on board Sc up to the present have
not been accounted for 1t is feared
they were killed in one compartment
by the explosion"
The Moldavia is OF 5000 tons gross
and owned by the Peninsula and
Oriental Steam Navigation company.
She was built at Greenock in 1903 and
is $40 feet long.
