the United States court, Ditiict At¬ 
torney R. W. Breckons acting as spon¬ 
sor for Uncle. Schlemmer will today I 
! receive a polite but determined note 
! from the clerk of the United States 
'court to step into Unc’p Sam* k couvC 
room and make answer to the change

or more specifically to the Territory 
and District of Hawaii, and there per¬

eaph to represent an action each of 
the poachers discovered on Laysan 
Lysianski islands by the officers of
