There are some disappointed men in
Honolulu today, and there will be SYM
pathetic disappointment among many
Japanese now in Japan or on Lhysan
Island or others of the westward islets,
for the more or less organized bird
slaughter, for plumage. is at last to
be brought to an end. Particularly
disappointed should be the local Japa-
Hese who planned to secure control of
LAysan for his fellow countrymen.
While no one appeared to have any
very definite information in the pre-
misses, there are some in Honolulu
who have been and are convinced that
the ruthless slaughter of birds on the
westward islands brought profit to cer-
tain Honolulu people as well as to the
Japanese bird-hunters from Nippon.
Some months ago letters went from
Honolulu to Washington in regard to
information obtained by Honolulu
sea-captain with reference to what pur-
ported to be an understanding brought
about in Japan between certain Homo
lulans and the bird hunters.
Whether this information was au-
Nthentic or had anything to do with the
news now come from Washington to
the effect that the United States will
take up the Laysan Island matter, may
never be made public, but stories have
been rife of the various mysterious
ventures of local Japanese and others.
During the strike of the Japanese
sugar plantation laborers on this ISL
and, when so many were arrested, an
interesting document, which has never
had reason to be published in connec-
tion with strike matters, was brought
to light, being nothing less than a
copy of the letter of local Japanese
addressed to a company Of feather
hunters of Japan in which the Homo
lulu writer assured his far-away coun-
trymen that he would have no
difficulty, for a consideration, in Sc
curing for them the use of Laysan ISL
and for the ostensible purpose of hand
ling guano, while the real object was
bird-killing.
Much correspondence has passed be-
ween Japanese in Japan and local
Japanese on this subject; nor were
only Japanese interested.
The Star frequently, during the past
year or two, has published accounts Of
what was supposed to be going on re-
\ lative to this bird-slaughter and
mainland newspapers took up the mat.
ter with the remark that it was very
apparent that a revenue cutter was
needed in these Hawaiian waters.

YOUNG ROBBERS
GET five YEARS

Andrew Kaupiko and Edward Mi
kalemi Jr. were found guilty this
morning of robbery in the second de-
gree. Judge De Bolt sentenced each
of them to five years Imprisonment
at hard labor and payment of costs.
Henry Kahiki. indicted with the
two convicted ones, was found not
guilty and discharged.
All three are young and intelligent
looking native Hawaiians. Kahikl,
the one found innocent, had just
come out of Kamehameha school be-
fore his arrest. No criminal record
of either him or KaupikO, who is a

ed the King of Laysan, had occasion to
visit Japan about year ago and the
revivification of the Laysan Island
guano trade was the talk. Accord
ing to the reports of Japanese in the
Orient to their fellows here, COM
panies or Japanese endeavored to ar
range with King Max for Laysan ISL
and privileges. Doubtless they had to
continue to take by stealth what they
could not bargain for.
In any event, the matter has been so
constantly advertised that it would
now seem that the United States gov
ernmen is beginning to take notice.
Had the U. S. Naval tug Iroquois
not been out of commission on ac-
count of her boilers it is not improb-
able that she would some time ago
have been ordered to Layson and west
ward ISLANDS to investigate the alleged
doings of the mysterious little sampan
fleets, acting as a revenue cutter. Now
the lighthouse tender Kukui has been
ordered to play the revenue cutter for
while, pending the stationing here
of the Thetis, and it is likely that her
presence in the waters to the west
will have a wholesome effect.
The report from Washington that
Max Schlemmer's guano lease has been
cancelled is not unexpected. There
were several distinct roars raised, over
that proposition, and not altogether
through jealousy or the like. At the
time there was much talk to the effecs
that there should be no monopoly; in
fact there was, on the waterfront at
least, among old-time seafarers who
have secured this ocean and know
conditions fairly well, much the same
talk regarding Laysan's lease as was
used when the Island of Lanai was
given over to one man.
Not a vessel has come from the
Orient, nor a schooner from the west
! ward islands, but has brought her
share OF stories, true or otherwise, in
| regard to the slaughter of birds, with
always the question as to why did not
the United States take hand.
1t is known that the Japanese fisher
men and bird-hunters feel that the
westward islands are theirs to do with
as they please, irrespective of what
hui claims htem and, in addition, they
are cocky enough to believe that the
United States will not worry over these
island specks.
But the United States, according to
a report said to have been received
Jrom Washington yesterday, has
chosen to act at last and new order
of things must prevail, to the end that
birds will not much longer be slaugh-
| tered.
1t means, practically, that Laysar
is no longer a part of the City and
County of Oahu or of the Territory OF
Hawaii, but that the United States will
take direct Jurisdiction; that the Ter
ritory cannot lease a westward island
for guano deposits or anything else
and that poachers must keep off Anne
rican preserves.
Governor Frear and King Max both
somewhat doubted the validity of the
lease which was renewed last Febru-
ary, and wrote Washington for an
opinion. No official reply has beer
received.

MOTHER RAILROAD.
Wants TO Get Into Mexico Thru
to Sc. Louis. A Farmers
Movement.

Macon, Mo-, March 21.--Incor-
poration papers win shortly be
applied for by an organization Of
farmers and experienced railroad
men to construct a network of
trolley lines through Northeastern
Missouri and down to st. Louis.
The originator of the enterprise
is Henry Funk, the owner of a
large farm in Shelby county. For
the past nine months, Mr.. Funk
has been industriously campaign
ing the First District speaking
in school houses, town halls and
in groves. When in Macon this
week he said he had received suf-
ficient pledges from the farmers
and the towns to insure financial
aid and that its early completion
and operation are assured.
The three main terminals of the
road will be Kirksville, Hannibal
and st. Louis. The st. Louis line
will start from Bethel or Shelby
vile, and go into the city by way
of Shelbina, Paris and Mexico.
The east and west line will run
about midway between the main
line of the Burlington and the
Quincy, Omaha & Kansas City
roads. This will give the electric
road a 20-mile territory on
either side.
The operating department will
consist of nine executive officers,
Of whom four local men and five
experienced railroad men now
connected with other lines.
One of the powerhouses will be
installed on Salt River, in Shelby
county, where there Is a STEADY
flow Of water to move the tur-
bines. The location of the other
powerhouses has not yet been de-
termined. The road will be of
standard guage, and estimated
cost Of construction will be be-
tween 100000 and $25, 900 a mile.
The farmers, Mr.. Funk says, have
subscribed to the extent of $1,000
a mile, and these contracts have
enabled him to raise the remand
er Of the money. The contracts are
worded so that the farmer is not
obligated until the road is in
operation.
