collecting of transfers Is now the craze
in the East, it having superseded the
craze for postal cards and stamps.
During the past few weeks a large
number of people in town have received
letters from their friends aking for
transfers as issued by the Rapid Tran
sit and consequently many people have
been asking for transfers for all the
points covered by the street car lines.
Then instead of using them they have
slowed them away in their pockets for
the small boys and girls back East.
The transfers when received are not
pasted in scrap books as one would
surmise, but are carried in bank books
being pasted in where checks have been
torn out, leaving the stub. These are
carried about by the collector and ex-
hibited on every possible occasion by
the proud owner of them. Transfers
from the mid Pacific are in great de-
mand throughout the East.
And so you have better start in col
lecting, then you will have a bunch
ready when the letter from the young
ster comes.

Secretary Wood of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee was asked this
morning i'm regard to the meaning of
the appropriation for the Hawaii eX-
hibit and whether the Promotion Com
mittee here was behind the scheme. He
replied as follows:
THE Promoters of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition to be held in Seattle
in 1909 are bound to make the eXposi-
ton a success and that it shall be re-
preventative of the Pacific even as its
name designates. For that reason
they are to have building there de-
voted to Hawaii aes well as one de-
voted to the Philippines.
THE promoters realizing that the
legislature of Hawaii is powerless to
make an appropriation for such an
exhibit as this is a Territory, have
asked Congress to give the $4,000 so
that creditable exhibit can be given
and one that is typical of these islands.
l am sure that these islands can get
together an exhibit which will attract
much attention and doubtless such
an exhibit will do us much good.
"The governor, 1 believe has been
communicated with in regard to the
exhibit but what steps he has taken
l do not know.
In June it is the intention of H. e.
Reed, the director of exploitation Of
the exposition to visit these islands and
he will no doubt ask some of the
business bodies of the city to take the
matter in hand.
81 believe that the exposition there
will be a great success. 1 think that
they are almost sure to get the APP
preparation as Congress generally as
sists that sort of thing"
1T is nothing unusual" said Gov
ernor Carter this morning, for the
government to make some special APP
preparation for a territory to assist in
making a creditable exhibit at an af-
fair of the kind proposed The gov
eminent assisted the Philippine ISL
ands in making an exhibit to the St.
Louis Exposition and also gave as
sistance to Alaska. Under the provi-
sions of this bill Hawaii is to receive
such assistance
II know nothing about the matter
further than appears in the Washing
ton dispatch"

KIDNAPPED YOUNG THAW.
Detective Lured Him to Pittsburg-
Guardian to Be Appointed.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, November 1O-William
Thaw, nephew and boon companion of
Harry Kendall Thaw until the latter was
locked up for killing Stanford White, was
kidnapped from New York to face today In
Pittsburg the petition of his relatives to
place his estate in the hands of guardian.
Thaw's mother and his sister, Mrs. Burd
Thaw-Collins, and her husband Henry l..
Collins, accuse William Thaw of being a
confirmed drunkard and unable to care for
his estate of more than $2,50O.OOO
private detective from Pittsburg, en-
ployed by the mother Of William Thaw,
who is about the same age as Harry Thaw,
came to New York last Sunday and found
william occupying a suite at the Holland
House with his valet. He asked the young
man to accompany him to Pittsburg, and
Thaw agreed, requesting the detective to
remain in the corridor down stairs until
he dressed. After dressing, and while the
sleuth was waiting, Thaw lodged out of the
side door of the hotel, jumped into a cab
and was driven to a house in West 5sth
street which he was maintaining.
When the cabman returned the detective
learned the address to which Thaw had
been driven and went there. Thaw was
asleep in bed. The detective Weakened him
and remained with him until he dressed
Then he put him aboard the first train
bound for Pittsburg and left the valet to
follow with Thaw's personal belongings
The application for a guardian for the
young mans estate states that he enjoys an
income of $35. coo year, has 500, 600 more
behind that and an estate of unestimated
value in reserve. The applicants assert
that because of his extravagances while
intoxicated the principal is endangered,
and therefore the court is asked to appoint
trustee. Judge Brown appointed A. c.
johnson to take the testimony.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 10.-It became
known that majority Of the candidates for
trustees Of the Mutual Life on the united
committees ticket had come out strongly
In favor of Stuyvesant Fish for the presi-
dency OF the Mutual Life in the event of the
united committees ticket winning
This also aroused unusual interest in life
Insurance circles owing to the fact that
Mr.. Peabody. now president of the Mutual
Life had much to do with ousting Mr..
Fish from the presidency of the Illinois
Central railroad.
Mr. Fish's friends say that it was due to
the action Of Mr.. Fish in demanding a
housekeeping of the Mutual administration
that he was deposed as president of the
Illinois Central. Mr. Fish was non-com-
mun!cative on the subject yesterday, but
said that if selected by the united commit
tees trustees in the event Of their cleo
ton he would willingly accept.
The possible choosing OF Mr.. Fish as sue.
cessor to Mr.. Peabody was the topic or
unusual gossip In life insurance and fnan-
c:al circles yesterday. Should Mr.. Fish be
chosen as the successor to Mr.. Peabody,
life insurance men said yesterday, 1t would
be very pleasing revenge to him not
heretofore imagined.
Scrughan is Active.
There will be meeting of the committee
of fifteen of the state insurance commits
sioners which Is to be held in Chicago on

agements of the various insurance COM
panIes. A committee of five was appointed
by the committee of fifteen to be the ac-
tive agents of the entire body of life in
surance superintendent.
Among the members of this committee of
five are William Prewitt and Reau Folk.
Mr. Prewitt is the superintendent of insur-
ance for the state of Kentucky, and it was
he who on Thursday revoked the license of
the Mutual Life in his state. Mr.. Folk,
brother Of the governor Of Missouri, is the
insurance commissioner Of the state of Ten
nessee Mr.. Folk at present Is making an
investigation into the conduct of the New
York Life in the state of Tennessee, and it
is known that in the event of proving GER
tain allegations that have been made to
him Mr.. Folk will order the revocation of
the New York Lifes license in Tennessee.
George r. Scrughan. manager OF the In
ternationai' Policyholders Association, has
gone to Chicago and will address the meet
ing. He will make a strong plea for an
investigation of conditions in the home Of
fees in this city. 1t was generally con-
ceded in insurance circles yesterday that
the committee of five would be ordered here
to institute an inquiry.
