CLAIMS $4,000
FOR BIRD SKINS
Congressman Keller Will
Help The King Of
LaySan

1t will be remembered that some
years ago the United States revenue
cutter Bear drove off some Japanese
poachers from Lisiansky Islands and
nearly confscated the bird skins
which they had been collecting.
Il hese skins, valued at many thou
sands of dollars, they were finally al
lowed to keep and may prove the
basis of claim for indemnity by
King Max Schlemmer of Laysan ISL
and.
Though King Schlemmer leaves to-
morrow on his newly bought $4,000
schooner, the Luka, Captain Mans
field, for Laysan Island, his claim for
upwards of $4,000 will be left in
good hands for presentation through
the proper authorities in Washington
and the TOXIC Consulate.
Congressman Refer will have
charge of the petition accompanying
tie claim which will be to the effect
that Schlemmer is an American citi-
zen and has been possessed for many
years prior to the invasion by the
Japanese poachers of all the right to
1.-The guano and fishing of Laysan and
the group of islands adjoining to the
westward, including Lisiansky.
What is most needed at Laysan,"
said King Schlemmer in his interview
with ex-Speaker Keifer at the Young
hotel the other day, is launch
With suitable Customs guard, my
self for instance, to patrol the group
Ct islands which ! control. | could
then periodically inspect them for ev-
poaching by foreigners. AS it is, |
have no means of leaving Laysan,
where my entire family will probably
eventually live. and we shall have
quite large colony, as my boys and
girls get married and bring their
wives and husbands back to live with
Papa Max on Laysan."
The genial and famous Ohioan pro-
II Used King Max all the assistance in
his power and when the schooner L,-
ka sails on the morrow good news
will be on board for the fast growing
settlement on Laysan.
The Luka will take five loads of
100 tons each of guano from Laysan
and just how much more can be min
cd there is a matter of conjecture.
While in Honolulu Schlemmer has
been presented with Il fine set of the
reports of the United States Fish
Commission steamer Albatross' cruise
about the islands some years ago. 1t
is very interesting and full of eXquis-
tie cuts of the island fishes.

Important Evidence in Thaw Case.

Important Evidence In Thaw Case.
Harry Thaw went to the Madison
eouare Theater in New York prepared
10 kill Stanford White on the night OF
Christmas Eve, 1908. and was prevented
only by the sagacious interference OF one
of his own private detectives. This is an
importaEt link in the chain Of evidence
against Harry Thsw to be used against
him in his second trial for the murder
OF Stanford White. This has been fur
nished by John Heitman and James
Kennedy, two detectives who were with
Thaw on the night of the oath OF Decem-
ber. 1903. Both these men have made
aHidayits, now in the possession OF Assis-
tsut District Attorney Gsrvan, in which
they tell in detail of the events OF the
night on which Harry Thsw finally won
ESelyn Nesbit back after her desertion
following his i'll treatment OF her in Eu-
. rope.
"All | want you to do" Thsw said
to the two men with him, "is to look
after any friends of White who may be
about. I'll take care Of that red-headed
myself"
Thaw was srmed that night and pre-
pared TO kill Stanford White had there
been any clash over Evelyn Nesbit who
was then playing at the Madison Square
Theater, in "The Girl from Dixie" He
met and passed White several times IN
the narrow passage leading from the
stage door to the dressing rooms, but
the two men did not speak to each
other, and Thaw was finally induced to
leave the theatre when his actions caused
Hoffman and Kennedy to fear that he
| wss likely to draw on White and shoot
him ,here ia the theatre. He was taken
across the street ON bsseless errand,
ard before he returned White had de-
parted in his touring car.
It is now believed that 1t was through
