FISHERMAN'S RIGHTS ARE RESTRICTED AT PEARL HARBOR Use of Dredged Channel For bidden; No Fishing On Naval Reservation There will be no fishing in the wa ters of I'carl Harbor channel, or in waters adjacent, to the naval reserva tion, from this date on. Admiral Cowles, commandant of the naval sta tion, this morning issued an order to this effect's which nullifies any and all fishing grants lor these waters, that may have been issued under the monarchy, no matter how long estab lished by use and custom. The or der, however, does not apply' to the lochs and lagoons of Pearl Harbor not directly under government control, where fishing is the principal indus try and one of the best sources of rev enue to the land holders. This ban on fishing in the dredged channel is a regulation added to those published by the commandant in a circular letter sent out September 3 to General Macomb, Governor Frear, the collector of the port and the har bormaster. In a separate letter which was prepared this morning, regulation No. 5 is given as follows: Fishing Prohibition. "All fishing vessels are prohibited from working in the dredged channel by day or by night." "The object of this regulation,'' said Admiral Cowles this morning, "is to gtiard against fishermen blocking the channel with boats or nets, and hold ing up navigation. This applies only to the dredged channel, and there is no objection to fishing along the shore line, except off the naval reservation. We must not. however, take the chance of the channel being tied up in any way. and by congressional act tiie regulating of traffic in the chan nel is within the power of the Navy Department. I received a cablegram from Washington the other day, in structing me to formulate regulations to go iuto effect immediately, and 1 have done so." The fishing rights of Pearl Harbor form as knotty a tangle as the combi nation of half a dozen fish lines and a playful kitten could produce. Under the old crow n grants, there w ere three separate and distinct classes of fishing rights given out. one covering fishing from tne shore, a second fishing on the bottom, and still a third class fish ing in the open waters. This snarl the navy officials have had to straight en out so far as the reservation itself is concerned, but. on the whole, the fishing business of Pearl Harbor will not be seriously interfered with. To Keep Channel Clear. In regard to the other regulations framed by the commandant, the idea is primarily to guard against blocking of the channel by large vessels ground- Bud Mars Is Hurt In Bad Fall From Aero ' v...-. : I : ... .

Intern?! injuries are feared. Mare is we:: known in - Honolulu He came here more than a year ago on his way to the Orient. This is the second serious accident he has suf fered since his return. In the first, he was reported fatally injured. ing by day or night. Admiral Cowles explains that it is not the intention, lor the present, at any rate, to re strict Honolulu shipping, such as yachts, schooners, sampans, etc., but that all deep sea vessels or interisland ships will have to obtain permission to enter the harbor. The government holds absolute con trol over the channel which it opened, and as this is the key to the harbor, the navy seems to have the final say, and Its regulations to be the last word. Following are the navy regulations for Pearl Harbor, in full: 1. All traffic in the dredged chan nel will be prohibited at such times as the commandant, shall direct. 2. The passage of all ships in and out of the dredged challen at night 13 prohibited. :. All deep-sea vessels or interis land steamships will obtain permis sion from the commandant before en tering or leaving Pearl Harbor wa ters. 4. All vessels are prohibited from j anchoring in the dredged channel. 5. All fishing vessels are prohibited i from working jn the dredged channel' by day or by night. DR. PRATT WILL SAIL ON SEPT.
