KING OF YAP IS
BURIED AT GUAM
HE SAW BODY INFERRED NEARLY
THREE YEARS AGO.

Cant. MckeIvey Is Stationed mt Port
Royal and Is a Frequent Visitor
in SaVanDah-He Was Stationed at
Guam at Time-It Was Thought
Heretofore That King O'Keefe
Had Been Lost at Sea-He Sailed
from Hong Kong i'm May, 1901.
Through Capt. w. NJ. McKelvey, of
the United States Marine Corps, who is
stationed at Port Royal. il is probable
that the grave of the late King
O'Keefe of Yap may be located.
Heretofore it has been thought that
O'Keefe was lost at sea, but Capt.
McKelvey states that while he was
stationed at Guam between October.
1901 and March 1902, a schooner on
its way from zap to Hong Kong put
in and asked permission to bury the
body of a man said to be King O'Keefe
and the body was buried.
This information adds further mys-
terry to the late king, as it was hereto
fore believed he had persisted at sea.
Capt. McKelvey did not charge his
memory with the burial and is not
positive about the date, but he is GER
tain he was told that the body was
that of King O'Keefe of zap. Upon
mis- next visit to Savannah Capt. Nc
Kelvey will give the relatives of the
late king what information he can
about the burial.

died three years ago. He had disap
peared from zap two years before May,
1903, when the will was opened. Until
the two years had expired, he was not
officially dead under the German law.
The will was opened in 1903, and the
estate is now being settled up, Attor-
ney Walter c. Hartr dye, representing
the Savannah heirs. being in the Far
East for that purpose. now.
Capt. McKelVey was stationed on
group of islands about thirty miles
from zap at the time of The burial of
the man supposed to have been King
OKeefe. When the schooner stopped
and asked permission to bury the body,
Capt. McKelvey sent a surgeon aboard
10 investigate the case. The burial
then took place on shore.
Il was in Nav, 1901, that King
OKeefe sailed from Hong Kong in his
own ship bound for his possessions in
the Carelines. About that time Chi
nese typhoon swept the coast and moth
ing more was ever heard of O'Keefe,
his vessel or any member of his crew.
1t was supposed that O'Keefe and all
of his companions were lost at sea.
Since Capt. McKelvey's statement of
the burial, however, there is some like
lihood that O'Keefe died aboard his
ship, was buried at Guam and that the
typhoon later destroyed MS ship and
crew. ~,

GOLD MATCH BOXES

Major, are YOU going to vote. for
instructions for Hearst in the conven-
ton Tomorrow"
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals. one of the Chat
ham delegates to the State Democratic
Convention, surveyed the questioner.
DO look like man who carries a
gold match box?" he asked.
The Major was assured that that
was one form of aestheticism of which
he could scarcely be accused and was
asked for the story.
why. you didn't hear about the
gold match boxes? I thought that was
generally known. William Randolph
Hearst came to Georgia, you remem-
Der, and there was much of a COM
motion raised.
Some Of the politicians clustered
about him and thought they had pick
ed a winner long before the starters
got to the post. They made SO much
of Mr.. Hearst that he was deeply inn
pressed and profoundly grateful. When
he got back to New York he decided
1t would be a neat return of his Geor-
gia friends good wishes, and an ac-
encouragement or their promised help
to send them some slight token of
esteem. He went to his jeweler and
had him sendrt0SSdpnez Of his Georgia
admirers gold match boxes, each stud
ded with a diamond.
My friend Obeg Stevens, learned,
was among the happy recipients.
thought if it were the thing to pre-
sent match boxes would get into tine
game. So l got a tin box, ja,bbed a
hole in it, stuck piece of glass in
the hole and shipped this work of art
to our Commissioner of Agriculture
with my compliments.

VERY wide publicity has been given
to an article in "The Outlook by
David Grey, the well-known author
journalist In which he tells how his
personal investigation into the status
Of the Philippines had changed him
from an ardent anti-imperialist, who
had voted for Bryan Ia 1900, into a
frank defender Of the present admins
tratlon of those islands. His inyesti-
cation disclosed first, that the Fill
pinos have no nationality and that
they are in condition racially, of
child development. He was convinced
that any other course than that of re-
tention Of these islands would be a
breach of international humanity.

IT is annoupced that the Demo
cratic committee proposes to make a
thorough canvass Of the state. Well,
the more they canvass the more they
will be convinced that there isno hope
for their carrying New Jersey this
time Last year was a decidedly "otf''
year, and yet the Republican majority
on the assembly ticket was nearly
10000 Practically all the Democrats
voted, as the returns show, while
thousands of Republicans for one
reason or other did not vote Passaic
county was carried by the Republic
cans by a plurality of | ,526, and yet it
is well-known that during the past
two elections seven thousand Republic
cans remained away from the polls in
that county alone. The.Republicans
all vote in presidential years, so that
the prospects are that they will carry
New Jersey this fall by anywhere be-
tween 10000 and 10000.
