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.

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

"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.
'French ship Jean,' came the message,
'loaded wit): best Cardiff coal/ ife
"There was a heavy sea runnin^R
we did not dare come alongsid^KSo
I gave orders that we sail her to the
nearest place?I found an ideal place
called Easter island on an atlas. Our '
crew took her over, but later I offered >
t'-e French a chance to sail their own
ship, under orders with pay, and tft-ey
accepted.
"But this was too slow, so we took
f er in tow. 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.

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

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

"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

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

when it was suggested that

"I'm not so sure of t':.e outcome as

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.

!>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.

of f:*p State pension board. The law
as to eligibility to pensions was not
changed in any particular, says Mr.
