king OF LAYSAN" is
INDICTED AND JAILED
Accused of Violating Alien Con-
tract Labor Law
Special Correspondence of The Call

HONOLULU, July Max Schlem-
mer, known for years as "the king
of Laysan," was placed under arrest
yesterday on two indictments by the
federal grand jury, charging him with
violation of the alien contract labor
law These indictments arise out of
the arrest some months ago on LaysaD
island OF % Japanese bird poachers,
acknowledged to be in the employ of
Schlemmer
Schlemmer had a lease of Laysan
island from the territory of Hawaii,
the lease allowing him to work the
guano deposits there. Just prior to
the granting of the lease President
Roosevelt issued a proclamation, plac-
ing a number of the smaller Hawaiian
islands in bird reservation to prevent
slaughter by Japanese for the sake of
their feathers. AS a consequence of
the order Schlemmers lease was de-
clared invalid.
Despite this order, it is said, Schlem-'
mer went to Japan and sold to a
feather firm there the right TO kill
birds on Laysan and Lisiansky islands.

GRAY BROTHERS MUST
SETTLE FOR MACHINE
Court Orders Disputed Bill of
$1,000 Paid

Judgment was signed yesterday by
Judge Hunt compelling Gray Brothers,
rock crushers and contractors. to pay
j. d. Fate & Co. $1,000, balance due on
a brick making machine purchased in
1905. The machine was destroyed in
the fire of April 1906. after it had been
in use six weeks. Gray Brothers col
leeted insurance on the machine, but
because its capacity was not so great
as had been represented they refused
to pay the balance due on the purchase
price. Judge Hunt ruled, however, that
as no complaint was made during the
time the machine was in use the de-
PENDANTS accepted it and were liable for
the full agreed price.
