BATTLE Big SHARKS
Hawaiian Sportsmen Risk Their
Lives at Game.
Dead Horses Make Best Bait, and
Sport Has Been CON-
merclaIlxed.

Honolulu.-Using the carcass Of
horse for bait. Honolulu sportsman
went fishing recently In a powerboat
and returned with fish weighing
$500 pounds and measuring almost
20 feet from tip to tip, the largest
shark killed In Hawaiian waters for
many years.
Shark fishing, or rather, hunting,
as II Is conducted In Hawaii, Is
thrilling sport, not entirely lacking In
danger to the hunter.
In fact, death battle with har-
pooned shark, according to big-game
hunters, Is about as safe as midnight
combat with hungry tiger.
Sharks, In their death throes, have
been known to attack the boat and
with their powerful rows Of serrated
teeth rip great sections from the sides.
The shark hunter first obtains dead
horse, and If II has been dead week
SC much the better.
The powerboat tows the carcass out
side the harbOr and the hunt Is on.
Sharks, attracted by the OdOr Of the
bait, gather In large numbers and soon
begin striking at the carcass, ripping
huge chunks of flesh from 1t.
At this stage the hunter endeavors
to work his boat near enough to permit
a shot with the harpOOn.
Once securely harpooned. big shark
will fight for hours before succumb-
Ing
Recently In Hawaii shark hunting
has been placed on commercial basis,
and the development Of big industry
Is forecast.
Shark fins are deemed great deli.
cacy by orientals. and dried shark meat
has found ready market.
The canning of shark meat Is being
considered. The livers yield valn'
able oil.

CRuES0ME FIND PROVES CRIMES
 OF BOLSnEv|K|
Many Victims Buried Alive During Reign Of
 Terror.

Omsk. Saturday, April 5.--(By The Associated Press)--lndisputable evil dence of the massacre by the bolshe- wiki of more than 2,000 civilians in and near the town of Osa has been obtained by Messrs. Simmonds and Emerson and Dr. Rudolph Teusler, of the American Red Cross, who have just returned from Perm, Osa, and other occupied Russian territory. Alp proximately 800 persons were killed at Osa and 1,50O in the surrounding districts.
 Osa, which had a population of 10,- 900, was so denuded of males by the bolsheviki that General Casagrande upon the occupation of the town, was obliged to telegraph to Ykkaterin- burg for men to administer civic af- fairs.
 In addition to securing verbal and documentary evidence the American Red Cross officials witnessed the ex- huming of scores of victims from trenches, where they were buried some time several deep in graves re- vealed by the digging of dogs. The murders were without provocatiOn
 
 thrifty and intelligent classes. TOrtuled Women.
 The body of a woman was exhumed and identified in the presence of the Americans as the wife of general through jewels sewed in the lining of her clothing; of which relatives were aware. Another woman was compelled to fetch lamp and gaze upon her murdered sons for the amusement of the slayers.
 The soviet called meeting, and prepared lists of those to die. The houses prescribed were visited by squads. The doors were smashed in and the victims dragged to the edge of the town and forced to dig their own graves. Those resisting were shot in the streets.
 A survivor testified that he had seen men thrown into a pit and buried alive. This testimony has been confirmed by bodies exhumed the clenched hands of which were clinging to the mud at the bottom o1 the pit.
 The only spark of humanity dis, covered was that in confiscating the belongings of the residents, in some instances where there was a family of small children, the family was per. mitted to retain one cow out of sev- eral. Occasionally resident was al lowed to keep his worst horse. Descrate Churches. The bolshevik attitude toward the | churches was uncompromising' Priests were hunted unmercifully. In the Perm district everything o1 value was stolen from the churches In some places, the schools continue but religious teaching is barred. Careful inquiry, the American ob
 servers. say, showed that there was nothing constructive in any towr | under bolsheviki control. Money anc property were requisitioned and ex travagantly dissipated by Individual: without accounting.
 It is reliably related that theoreti cal bolsheviki drafted into the new Russian army who went to the front | uttering threats that they would re fuse to fight against their brothe, bolsheviki, were disenchaned on wit messing the results of the bolshevil
