THE ADA SAW
A POACHER
GOVERNOR CARTER ISSUES A
LETTER OF WARNING TO BIRD
HUNTERS.

The schooner Ada takes with her to
French Frgate Shoal a letter of warn
ing to japanese fishers and others, in
Guiding Captain Weisbarth of the Ada,
that they must refrain from killing
birds on these and other islands The
letter is a result OF a communication
sent to the Governor by Admiral Terry,
as follows:
Il have received Information today
from the master of the schooner Ada
who has lately returned from a visit
to the French Frigate Shoal reporting
that he fell in with a Japanese schoon-
er of about 100 tons, cruising in that
vicinity, ostensibly as the Japanese
master states in search of sharks. 1t
is believed that this shark fishing in a
mere pretext, and that the real object
of this vessels presence is the destruc
ton of birds on these islands for their
feathers.
In view of the correspondence in ref
erence to this subject and the instruc-
tons from the several departments at
Washington including the State, Inter-
Tor and Navy Departments, to the eff
feet that this is in violation of our
laws, l would respectfully suggest that
you write letter addressed to the
master OF lllS japanese schooner, warm
ing him against any violations of law
in regard to the destruction of birds on
these islands to the westward. The
master of the schooner Ada offers to
take such communication and is expect
ing to sail Monday. If the letter is sent
to Captain Rodman at the Naval Sta
ton this afternoon, he will see that it
is delivered to the master of the Ada
Very respectfully,
''SILAS w. TERRY,
Read Admiral, U. S. N, Command
ant"
There have been numerous cases of
bird-poaching on the various islands
between here and French Frigate
Shoals, principally by Japanese. Gov
ernor Carter addressed the following
letter to Captain Weisbarth:
In view of the correspondence in
reference to the destruction of birds on
the uninhabited islands under our ju-
risdiction, l beg to warn you that the
Departments at Washington, including
the State, Interior and Navy Depart
ments, have taken the attitude that the
| destruction of birds for their feathers
is in violation of our laws and ask you
to be good enough to warn any others
who may be tempted to land for this
purpose that they do so at their peril.
Very sincerely yours,
GEORGE r. CARTER,
Governor"
