AIRSH|P BUILT

Constructor Says Shenandoah
 Was Very Staunch

Philadelphia, Sept, 5 R,-No fault in construction or mismanagement while In the air caused the wreck ago of the airship. was the opinion expressed here today by Commander Ralph D. Weyerbacher. builder of the Shenandoah.
 Commander Weyerbachcr was deeply affected by the loss of life. The report that men were killed and injured" he said, Ifs so terrible that 1t Is impossible for me 10 say much at this time. Tt Is shock.
 Tn the absence of government re- ports" he added, "I cant explain the catastrophe. 1 can say without fear of contradiction that the ship was structurally perfect and safe. I superintended the building of the Shenandoah and flew her myself under every condition of weather. She stood the hardest strains that we could put upon her.
 Before she was commissioned VIC tried in every way possible 10 break her. She was as staunch and as perfect an airship as could be made.
 Last January. when the Shenan- doah pulled adrift In storm al Lakehurst and tore off her nose. she went through tho hardest strain an airship could weather. This mlshap, when the ship received terrible druhhing before she was returned to her moorings convinced me she was absolutely safe. 1 cant understand how this happened.
 'Lieut Commander Iansdowne was one Of the ablest airship com manders In the service. I am posi- tive his handling of the ship had nothing to do with her found lring."

HAWAIIANS WANT MORE
 AID FROM GOVERNMENT
By Judge w. c. Achi, U. s. Circuit
 Court, Hawaii

OOufC, HaWan
 Hawaii wants to share in the vari- ous federal aid funds voted by con- gress. Hawaii is especially interested in getting it's share of the funds ap- propriated for helping build good roads and supporting public schools.
 Hawaii demands better protection as the western outpost of the United States. Hawaii needs more fortifi- cations. We also believe the interests of the entire nation as we'll as Ha- Wail's require an extension of the naval base at Pearl Harbor.
 Hawaii seeks more assistance from the federal government in improving the facilities of it's harbors.
 We urge that the work of rehabi!i- tating the Hawaiian race be contia- ued. That task already has started. The government has begun to open up it's public lands to settlement by native Hawaiians. But the act is lim- ited to period of five years, and we ask an extension of that brief limita- tion. The native Hawaiians left now amount to barely quarter of the population. There are estimated to be about 34,OOO pure -blooded Ha- waiians and some 28,O0O of mixed de- scent. Few people realize how val uable the Hawaiian Islands have be- come to the United States, commer- cially as we'll as strategically. Ha waii now ranks twentythird among the forty-eight states and two terri tories in the emount of money paid annually into the federal treasury.

 danger whatever of the shrimp anl crab products being taken in such quantities, over such an area, that there is the slightest danger at pres ent of their being eXterminated, but there is the possibility in the future that there may be more shrimp and crab plants operating in this Terri tory, and at such time, if the proper restrictions are not placed on the fish ing of them and protection on the spawning season, there might be danger of eXterminating them and seriously crippling a business which should be preserved for the good and welfare of the Territory.
 Knowing these facts, and also knowing the results that we have, owing to the fact that protective measures were not put on salmon and halibut years ago, have figured that protective measures should be put on shrimp and crabs sooner than is nee essary, rather than too late.
 With this idea in mind took the matter up over year ago and ex- plained why I thought protective measures should be started now, in stead of letting it go on until possibly it might be too late.
 The Bureau of Fisheries sent their men and boats here to get all data on this matter, and following my sug- gestions they have placed a closed season on the shrimp from March l5 to April 30th inclusive, each year, which is the spawning season of shrimp in this locality.
 l recommended that we only put a closed season on the shrimp in this locality, as it is the only place that we know for sure that there are shrimp in marketable quantities, and the only places where we have been able to determine definitely the sea son for spawning.
 A uniform law at this time to cover Alaska would be mistake, as we do not know at present where there are shrimps in marketable quantities in other sections, and should those sections exist, and at some distance from here, there will very likely be a different time for the spawning season at such locations,
 Therefore asked that a closed sea- son be put on in our locality where we know the conditions, and should shrimp be found at other places later on, facts regarding their spawning season could be gathered at that time, and the date for closed season set on each different locality accordingly
 I am going to take this matter up with the Bureau of Fisheries, and see that it is changed, if possible, as it surely would not protect the industry.
