HAWAIIAN BIRDS
SLAUGHTERED BY BIRDS

Washington. Feb. 20.-An estimated
value OF S112.470 Is placed by Capt. w.
V. E. Jacobs. OF tho revenue cutter
Thetis. on the birds feathers and
wings seized by him In January OH the
Hawaiian islands of Laysan and Lis
iansky There the feathers and wings
had been gathered and stored by Jap
anese. in violation af President Roose-
velt's procla nation designating the
islands as a breeding ground for birds
of plumage.
Twenty three Japanese were arrested
and have been turned over to the
United States marshal at Honolulu for
trial.
From statements made by Capt. ia
cobs In a report to the treasury de-
partment. the depredations had been
in progress since early last year, A
large quantity of feathers and wings
was shipped before he arrived In all.
the captain thinks that about 100000
birds were killed by the plumago
hunters. They include tho tern, the
petrol and the albatross.
Tho Japanese produced documents
purporting to give them the privilege
OF gathering fertilizer and birds OF
plumage but when the officers from
the vessel landed and showed their
authority. the offenders surrendered
without resistance.
Copies of the presidents proclama-
tion were posted on Laysan and LIS
iansky and on other islands within
the reserve.

from the administration bill the pro-
vision for the creation of a court of
commerce. Even IL this is done, 1t is
practically certain that the court fea-

HEIGHT OF OFFICERS.
Prcst. Rooscvelt's Order May Cut Out
Ambitious Men I'm the Ranks.

Washington, Feb 2l-President
Roosevelt thought that army officers
should be comparatively tall men, So
he made change in the army regula-
ton providing that candidates for ad-
mission must be at least Ave feet five
inches In height. Now 1t happens that
private soldier may be enlisted
though considerably shorter than this,
yet the law authorizes the promotion
to commission rank of certain num-
Der OF privates who can pass the
severe technical examinations pre-
scribed. Naturally Mr.. RooseveIt'e
order has led to great com
plaint from number OF ambi-
tious enlisted men. who in many cnses
entered the ranks with the single pur-
pose OF working for q commission.
Therefore. the regulations have been
changed during the past week so as to
omit the requirement as to height.
