KNAPPE NARR0WS
Project APPROVED
Hurley Favors Deeper Chan.
mel to Benefit Chesapeake
Oyster Trade.

A recommendation of the chief of
engineers that the channel of Knappe
Narrows in Talbot County, Md, be
deepened for the benefit of the Chesa-
peake Bay Oyster trade was approved
today by Secretary of War Hurley.
Knappe Narrows, a small channel
separating Tilghman Island from the
east shore Of the bay, some As miles
south of Baltimore, affords a short
route around the island to the rich
oyster beds north of that point. At
present the channel depth is only one
foot. resulting frequently in delays and
nlishaps to fishing boats that use it to
cut of distance of from four to eight
miles.
BY deepening the channel to depth
Of nine feet and a width of rs feet,
Mai. Gen. Lytle Brown. chief of Engi-
neers, thinks the resulting boon to the
oyster and fishing trade would justify
the Government N expending S66,70
for the work, with $500 maintenance
charges each year.
The estimated commerce passing
through Knappe Narrows averages be-
tween $4,000 and 5000 tons a year,
and the short cut is said to effect saw
ing of about $4,000 in transportation
costs. The deeper channel could be
used by larger boats. effecting an esti-
mated $4,000 savings a year in the
operation of oyster boats to the small
harbors in the region and the oyster
grounds in the bay.
Before the Government undertakes
to do the work, however, it imposes the
condition upon local interests to fur
nish satisfactory assurances that new
drawbridge shah be erected across the
channel Land also must be furnished
free of cost for depositing the dredg-
ines from the channel.

HONOLULU, April 7 (NANA).-
Nothing expresses the polyglot COM

men for the murder of Joseph Kaha-

parade. They represent the class sec
tions of these islands, and it is diff
ficult problem for any lawyer to face.
Mrs. Fortescue Delayed.
Just before the court session opened
yesterday, Mrs. F'ortescue came through
the hall toward the door of the court
room. The corridor was filled with
spectators and the jurors were waiting
until the judge finished the examina-
ton of some new talesmen. AS she
reached the door, she was asked to
wait by the court attendant. and for a
moment she drew herself up and
flashed a look of indignation at him.
Obviously she did not realize the
reason for being asked to wait and she
stood rigidly for several minutes with
her sister, Mrs. Helen Ripley. Then
Mr.. D?rrcw came, looming through the
crowd. and led her away to the table
at one side of the rctunda.

RACIAL OUTBREAK
FEARED IN HAWAII
Tensity Explained in Justice
Department Report, Laxity
Is Condemned.

Conditions in Honolulu are so tense
that the Fortescus trial and the retrlal
Of the Massie assault case are likely to
result in racial antagonisn1, resent
ments and possibly. demonstrations,
according to the Justice Departments
report on crime in Hawaii, made public
yesterday.
The report, prepared by Assistant
Attorney General Seth w. Richardson,
cited many favorable conditions in the
Hawaiian Islands, but contained an
exhaustive condemnation of 'laxity in
governmental and administrative af-
fairs"
Sexual conditions on the islands were
given prominent treatment in the 30,-
000-word document, which was accom-
panied by even more voluminous col
lateral reports.
Different Sexual Standard.
Richardson found that a different
sexual standard prevailed but no un-
usual tendency among the Hawaiian
people toward forcible sexual assaults.
Reference to the Fortescue case,
which led to the investigation, at the
demand of the Senate, was brief, but
Richardson said it, together with the
retrial of the Massie assault case, lis
certain to again embroil the people OF
the territory in most unpleasant con-
sequences" He added
such a retrial would ordinarily be
bad enough in and of itself" he said
but the subsequent Fortescue case, with
its astounding details, complicates the
retrial of the Massie case to an almost
unparalleled degree.
Community prejudices and opinions
are certain to run at fever heat and
it will not be surprising If a condition
Of racial antagonism, resentments and,
possibly, demonstrations should result"
No Escape Is Seen.
Richardson said however, that he
secs no way out of the situation except
to 60 through it, regardless of results :"
He added that prosecution of the cases
seemed to be in strong, capable hands
as is also the matter of the defense"
The investigator questioned the accu-
racy of reports that the Hawaiian
population presented an unusually
dangerous, lawless and vicious criminal

He argued they pay only the gas tax

GOV. Judd ASSA|LS|
RICHARDSON'S PLAN
Stands on Rights to Name
Hawaiian Attorney General
and Police Head.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gov. Lawrence M Judd of Hawaii
today communicated to Secretary
Wilbur vigorous opposition to recon-
mendations OF Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Richardson, terming them "a con-
flscation by Congress of some of our
most treasured rights of self-govern-
ment.''
Judd said that "to transfer to Wash
lngton the appointment of the terri
torial attorney general and police head
would result in divided authority be-
tween the Governor and these officers
with resultant loss and not gain in
efficiency and no centralized RESPONSE
bility."
The Hawaiian Governor quoted an
editorial from the Honolulu Star Bull
letin, published by former Gov. Earring
ton, which said the Richardson report
would have the United States treat
Hawaii "as the British treat the people
OF India or Egypt"
Proposal Called Unjustified.
His report strikes at the very vitals
to destroy American self-government." :"
1t continued 1T is another wedge to
make bureaucracy Of Federal Govern
ment triumphant. It's purpo-e is not
to foster self-govenment Its purpose
is to destroy government"
In another quotation from the Star
bulletin Judd said there was mo more
justification for tte proposal for the
President to name the attorney general
of Hawaii or the territorial chief of
police of Hawaii than there is for the
pT~a Int1f IN An atf al
of California or New Mexico or to name
the chief of the State police of the
sovereign State Of Pennsylvania or New
York"
Judd asserted that self-government
should be fostered in Hawaii and not
hindered and maintained that "the
findings do not justify the conclusion
that our citizens of many racial an
cestries have failed to perform their
duties at least as well as citizens on
the mainland"
Asks for Confidence.
"I respectfully urge" he said. "tha.
Hawaii be accorded the confidence to
permitted to solve our own problems In
the usual American way"
Secretary Wilbur made Judd's tele-
gram public without comment. He said
yesterday, however, that the Richardson
report had shown "a high degree of
law observance and capacity for self
government" in Hawaii.
Judd said the relations with the Army
and Navy in Honolulu were satisfactory
and that the report as a whole revealed
the city and the islands to be as clean
and normal as any mainland COM
munity.
