Commander J Of Darn Thierichens, Reciting His G to Have Even Better?Des Destroyer's Paradis Newport News, March 12.?Capt. Max Thierichens, commander of the German converted cruiser Prinz Eitel FriedericL, merchant raider for the fatherland in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and destroyer of an American ship, today broke his seal o silence since he reached anchorage in an American port. urllA x lie vjr^A man. v-wuiiuauuti, " brought his st~ip to t1 is port Wednesday, said he had been too busy to talk tfor publication until now and lie consented to say a few words: (The commander was asked if his raid of the seas was over. "Fest weiter," he exclaimed in German, meaning he explained, "we haven't given it up by a long way" Tie officer emphasized his statement by a slam of his fist on the coffe table and continued: w'e aaa iuck ana we snau nave more, I hope." "As you know," Commander Thiericiiens continued, "we cruised for days without seeing a thing off O-ile. Our coal was almost gone. We were really in a bad way. Then one day we sighted a sailing ship. A squad went aboard o n.rl f oof c V? r\rrr uiitu uciuauuva ir-uut oau ouv?* ugi vv* ors. She admitted that she was ti-e French ship Jean." Found Needed Coal. "W';en we read the signal wigwagged back by cur boarding crew it was as if a roast pigeon were to fly into the mouth of a starving man.

When we were under way again we sighted the British boat Kildalton and tack after her without tow line jerking along behind. We finished ' er and then proceeded until we reached Easter island with our prize. We landed and when we found there was no particular danger we rested and quietly coaled. It was like ef eding a hungry man/' Chance to Get Away. The captain explained that before 'be landed the crews of the Jean and tl": e Kildalton ?e ascertained that an Englishman's yacht was in the harbor and that word could easily bo taken for their relief. Next to coal the greatest need the Jtitel fe:t in I er long journey, the com- | mander said, was water. Because of j HARRY THAW ACQUITTED; FACES ANOTHER DANGER Cleared of Conspiracy, He Will Be j Object of Determined Effort to Return Him to Matteawan. New York, March 13.?Harry K. Thaw, acquitted today of conspiracy in escaping from Matteawan, faced tonigi't a renewal of the determined efforts of New York State to send him back to the asylum. In his cell in the Tombs he was enthusiastic. His keepers said he was wi istling like a boy and seemed to be the happiest man in the city.. Almost endless litigation seemed to be in sig':t as the result of the verdict. The words of acquittal had scarcely died on Foreman Bailey's lips when Deputy Attorney General Cook was on his feet wit': a motion to have Thaw recommitted to Mattcawan. This was opposed by John B. Stanchfield, chie." of Ttaw's counsel, on the ground tha'. i the court already had under advise- j ment a motion to rbturn iThaw to New Hampg-ire, whence he came to answer the conspiracy charge. The motion was renewed and Supreme Court Justice Page set Monday at 2 p. m. for argument thereon. In the meantime Thaw occupies his old cell in Tombs prison, the cell in ^"hioh he was locked during tJ'ce "months from the night he shot Stanford Wlhite. nearly nine years ago, to iiis removal to Mat tea wan. Thaw's four aides in bis whirlwind automobile flight through four States irom Maucawan to uanaaa were acquitted by the same verdict which acquitted Thaw and were discharged. Deputy Attorney General Kennedy, while satisfied with tfce verdict in so far as it related to Thaw, said that he had expected a conviction of Thaw's accomplices. An appeal from Justice Page's decision on the motion to return Thaw to Matteawan was regarded almost as a certainty, regardless of w?at the dei relh Story ng Sea Raider ood Luck% Says He Expects \cribes Finding Commerce e on Easter Island the water shortage te said: 'The (Eat el anchored in the rain belt near Pernambuco and spread all sail? not perpendicularly, but flat?and waited, and in 48 hours the rains descended and the tanks were filled." "We were out of the track of liners." r aid t::o captain, "and could hardly be lieve it wLen we saw tne French steamship Floride aproaching." Here Commander Thierichens paused to give a word of praise for the Floride's captain. "There is a real gentleman," he said referring to Capt. iMoisson. "At first his patrioism made it hard for him to compose himseif on our boat, but later ween l. e had accepted the situation he bore his position like a true gentleman."

"You can't imagine what that little ! growing green meant to us," he said. "Even in the cities you can look into a florist's shop. But ti-xougih these months at sea, we yearned for it. So when we reached Easter island, we filled baskets with earth. All we had to plant were beans and peas, and we soon found that they were not growing. We were just about ready I to give up our window garden wen 1 there came a wheat shiD. We planted some of it and you see it is growing." Easter island was a brigi-t page in the Eitel Freidrich's history and a. \ strange little G.ristmas tree at the captain's elbow, still bearing its gold candles, was a relic, the officer said, from last Cristmas' celebration. Lying on the table were photographs wltich the captain displayed as tis I "farthest south'' record. IThey showed | two great icebergs and a wide gray ice field. "We went far south of the Horn," the officer explained, "for it was after the battles on tie coast and we were afraid to the straits. And then we were up in the tropics shooting sharks. "Despite the changes of weather and the hazards of the cruiser," the commander added, as the interview closed, "we have not lost a single life and ti e crew we have today is the biime ?.u a man as u at waicn leu Tsing Tau many months ago."

"I'm not so sure of t':.e outcome as that," said Thaw, "but I am going to make a fight for it." MA>SING TO SELECT EXPERT FOR ASYLUM * Governor Imforms Dr. Strait of His Intention to Get a Specially Trained Man. News and Courier. Calumbia, March 113.?T'cat it is his intention to get an expert physician in lunacy for superintendent of the State hospital for the insane was the rank state:;,ent or Gov. .'Manning to Dr. T. .J. 'Strait, the present superintendent of the institution, at a conference between tnem in t'-e governor's office this afternoon. The governor sent for Dr. Strait and told him that he wanted to give him ample notice of his intention, as lie desired to treat him with all due consideration in Ct<e matter. Dr. Strait exp^c-ssed his appreciation of this thoughtfulness on the part of the governor. The governor has not yet selected the superintendent for the asylum. He is giving the matter careful consideration and it is generally understood ti-at he will pick some man trained in this line of work, and thus carrv out the recommendation of Dr. A. P. Herring, j the secretary of the Maryland lunacy j commission, who investigated the conditions at the South Carolina asylum as an efficiency expert and whose report resulted in tl':e passage by the general assembly of an act reorganizing fiat institution. PLENTY OF JOSS BUI ALL SHAKES | !>k? federal conn' pie is APPORTIONED. Several Places to lie Given, With the Choicest Plums Kept in the Congressional Family. P. H. MeGowan, in The State. Washington, March 12.?If South Carolinians were surprised last week w:en they I. eard how successfully the matter of providing or the appointment of an additional federal judge, j a district attorney and a marshal for ! the western district had been ar' ranged and how apparently only j those on ti e "inside* were taken care | of, they will be more surprised still j if they will do a little more real think: ing. AltJ.ough t':.e positions of judge, marshal and district attorney are the i three real big places, there are some ir.thprs. and if those interested in tno i matter will keep their ears close to the ground they will hear something. That a man very close to Senator Tillman is to be clerk of ti. e new court?possibly a relative, possibly not?is about settled; in l'act, was settled along with the passage of the bill j and the immediate announcement of ! who had then already been selected jior fc..e best places. Following the appointment of William llhurmond, or I Edgefield, for district attorney?which is likely to be made any day?comes t! e naming of an assistant district attorney?another nice juicy plum. Ana here again, do a little thinking and see if you can not figure out where this job will fall. Rumor has it?and sometimes she comes pretty near the trut; ?that Mr.Thurmond will name a former Edgefield man for the place, ti is man now being a lawyer in a county nearby. This man is quite close to Senator Tillman and is said to have been figured in the original plan hatched out here last week. T.:is last appointment need not cause much r* m* YX'/Vvn-M 1 f O wllOn t h ?> UUllliJLl Cil L n'UCii H JLO xuu>ui^, vu ? wi ole thing is taken into consideration, because it's all pretty much like a big ifamily affair anyway you look at it. iBut even this will not by any means complete the slate. TV: ere are other good jobs that are said to have already been parceled out ready for the organization of the new district machinery. There are deputies and minor clerkships and constables and Ligh and low sheriffs, attaches and court criers of 'various rank to be appointed. T':ey are going to be distributed among the ! amily and again a little timeiy advice might be given to outsiders to save their time and money by not applying. There's no use. Just watch and see who get the assistant district attorney's place, then it will be seen I ow nicely this congressional family division plan works out in the distribution of federal jobs.
