j Chief or Police Moore received a
cablegram yesterday from the chief
of pollen of Los Angeles, Cal., an
nouncing that James Rollins had been
liberated from the penitentiary,
where he was sent some two years
ago for obtaining money under false
pretenses and inquiring If he "Is
wanted In Skagway."
Rollins is well known to all old tlm
l
ers in Skagway. He cut a wide
fcwath here in the earJy days. At
one time he filed a location for a mil.*
eral claim on the Skagway townsito
ami asserted that he would force all
claimants for the property to move.
When he served a notice to this
effeet upon J. P. Rogers, then super
intendent of the White Pass road,
Rogers knocked him down.
Later Rollins claimed to have di&
covered a tungsten mine somewhere
in the adjacent mountains. He as
serted he had contracted to sell
thousands of dollars worth of ore to
the Krupps and to make his bluff
good he actually sacked some worth
less rock and hail It shipped to
Moore's wharf, claiming it was a'wuit
ing shipment.
One of the best stories told on
Skagway's king of high finance was
that on a certain occasion he nego
tiated a "touch" from Keelar, "the
money king," and left Mrs. Rollins
as security. Rollins didn't appear to
redeem his wife and there was a
suspicion at the time that he took
this novel way of getting rid of her.
Rollins was suit to McNeUte Island
for a term of two yfears about six
years ago. He was convicted of forg
ing a telegram in connection with his
reputed sales of tungsten. It is as
serted that even while In the pen
itentiary he succeeded in duping soma
of the prison attache? and sold them
stock in his fictitious mines and ob
tained many special dlapensations
from them.
When King Richard was talton cap
tive in Germany some centuries ago,
his brother, John, took advantage of
his Incarceration, and tried to super
sede him. When Richard was at
length released the Emperor of Ger
many sent a brief message to Klug
John. It read: "Take care of your
self. The devil 1b loose."
There may be a certain similarity
between this historic message and
the cablegram from the Ix>s Angeles
sleuth.
O'CONNOR HOPES
FOR IRELAND.
Noted Patriot -Editor In New
York io Gatiisr Foods.
BENEFITS OF HOME RULE.
He Says It Would Provide Better Edu
cation and Setttr Government? He
Describes the Workings of the Land
Act ? Something About His Career.
The roc out arrival in Now York of
T. I*. O'Couuor. M. I'., tin1 Irish patriot,
who has come over to seek funds to
help out Irish t>oliii<-ul projects, has
renewed discission as to the relations
between Ireland and her ruling pow
ers. Mr. O'Connor says that If the
new British budget is thrown out the
Irish party will have a great chance
to Ik? a factor in the subsequent gen
eral election.
"It is my first visit in three years."
said Mr. O'Connor, who has lost noth
ing of his rich maimer of speech. "I
shall lie hero for .about a month to
pet funds. IC possible, to help our Irish
legislators. You know they have to
spend many weeks in England with
out pay. and it will be a great help to
them If we can grant them a weekly
stipend.
"If the house i.f lords throws out the
budget, which now seems probable,
there will of course be a general elec
tion Immediately following. With the
THOMAS V. O'CONNOR.
English parties so evenly balanced It
seems that our elgUty-one members of
parliament will bo a more Important
factor than usual.
"Ireland Is on the up grade. The
land act. of course, has its drawbacks,
a three cornered combat among the
tenant, landlord and estates commis
sion, but we hive 200.000 people who
were once paupers and slaves, but who
arc now comparatively comfortable.
They are perfectly free? In fact, there
Is no law about them."
Mr. O'Connor said the problem of the
congested districts was still a serious
one and probably the Improvement In
this regard Is not so great.
Mr. O'Connor said lie noticed some
new Dreadnoughts among New York's
tall buildings.
lie went into the Involved question
of the laud act and explained how
they were attempting to adjust Its
llnaiiclal dltttculties and haw sojuuo
lauds were "bought, uot solil." ""Be
suld lie could uot see how the house
of lords would be su foolish as to
throw out the budget when that action
would give the Irish party such a
chance.
Ireland Htlping
Ireland, be said, was helping herself.
Seven times since 1885 she bad sent
four-fifths of her representatives to de
mand self government. She bad raised
considerable fun?h for twenty-flve
years lu support of home rule and
united all her forces.
Under the land act which enables
tlie tenant, upon declaration o i desire
to purchase, to obtain a reduction of
25 per cent in rent and ultimately be
come the owner he thought that In
many Instances the tenant might have
made a better bargain. It freed the
tenant from every symbol of landlord
Ism. One-third of all the land and
practically all Werford were now In
the hands of the tenants. A "tenant
owuer" became a better Nationalist,
appreciating more keenly the Ineffi
ciency and stupidity of the present
government.
"Of course," said Mr. O'Connor, "Ire
land will never be a country properly
worth living lu unttf she is governed
by her own people. Everything In Ire
land is done wrong. Certainly four
lift lis of the population would vote for
home rule. I think the government Is
disposed to grant us a generous meas
ure of It. The lords always oppose It;
but the lords, as shown In history, are
sometimes struck with terror and wfsh
to preserve their own liberties.
Gladttona'i Error In 1884.
"Gladstone sprung home rule prema
turely iu 1880. If It had not been for
our Parnell split In 1390 Gladstone
might have carried home rule In 189C.
The Irish cause lost twelve years ?r*l
gained twenty year* of education, we
had the period of division and disaster.
Gludstone did a great wort In destroy
ing prejudice.
"The first effect of home rale woaid
be Increased education tod the next
effect Increased efficiency in every
thing, for the government over Ireland
Is one of the most inefficient ever ex
ercised."
Thomas Power O'Connor, the Irish
author, journalist and statesman, be
gan his career as a writer for the Dnb
lin press in 1807. when he was eighteen
years old. In 1870 be went to I^ondon
and secured a position o'd the staff" of
the Daily Telegraph. Four years later
he made his bow as an author with a
biography of the late Lord Beacons
field, which was followed by a revised
edition of the wort under a new title.
Mr. O'Connor has since then published
numerous books and has even tried his
hand at llctlon with some success.
Parn?ll'? Advt<*.
".My becoming a member of parlia
ment was practically a matter of
chance," Mr. O'Connor said recently.
"One of my l>est friends had resigned
the seat from Galway, and many of
my friends asked me to take tHs place.
I was known In Odlway, having spent
my boyhood there, and bad made set
era 1 speeches there In debates and
things of that sort. My "Life Of Lord
Reaconsfleld' had also contributed to a
belter knowledge of me In my native
land. At the same time I encountered
a tremendous amount of opposition
from the wealthy class, and my seat
was not easily won." The great Par
nell, In giving tie then new member
friendly advice, told him to "speak
as early as possible, di often as possi
ble and as long as possible," and tbes*
instructions "T. P.". has carried out.

ESKIMOS AS MAPMAKERS.
Captain Comer, Old Whaler, Join* In
th? Pole Controversy.
"Anion# the seventy-Are Eskimos
that r nipt Just ne. ii very old innn,
could be depended upon to make an
accurate map," said Captain George
Comer In an Interview at bis home In
Iladdam, QGul:. He recently returned
ffcom his tenth furring and whaling
cruise In the urctlc regions.
"^here Is glory enough for both, and
I believe that both Cook and Peary
reached the pole, but when one calls
the other a liar and an Impostor it Is n
great pity," said the grizzled old whal
er. "I have great respect for Com
mander Peary, and I know personally
that Dr. Cook is no boaster or bluffer.
Concerning food, I guess Dr. Cook car
ried enough provisions and that the
Eskimos ate more than the American,
Wrio was buoyed up by his ambition,
which goes n good way In that cold
country.
"At a temperature of 83 degrees be
low zero Dr. Cook couldn't have trav
eled far or fast If the wind was blow
ing. In 1907. when Mr. Bradley, who
also should get his share of credit, was
outfitting tHc cruising yacht, Dr. Cook
wanted me to go along as salllug mas
ter, but said he wouldn't try for the
pole while Commander Peary was In
tfie field."
SETTLERS FOR HAWAII.
Special Secsion of Legislature Called
to 8tart Land Law Revision.
A proclamation calling a special ses
sion of the territorial legislature to
consider amendments to the organic
act of Hawaii has beeu Issued by Gov
ernor Frear. Among the changes rec
ommended are amendments to the
laud laws to encourage settlers to take
up homesteads and increased pay for
legislators and federal officials of the
territory.
The governor desires to restrict pub
lic lands so that any single homestead
er may take up to eighty acres; also
to bar out aliens from homfcstcading,
to enforce residence on lands pre
empted and to distribute land by lot
tery Instead of by auction. The legis
lature Is expected to pass an act on
these lines which will be submitted to
congress.
When congress approves it, It is er
ptcted that large numbers of good set
tlers will come to Huwail.
The "Copper" Versus the Pledge.
Chicago policemen are having a hard
time of It under their new chief. Colo
nel Le Hoy T. Steward, who has an
idea that patrolmen ought to stay so
ber at all times. The word has gone
forth from the chiefs office that, if
Colonel Steward can make It so, the
force will be a teetotalers' brigade.
One day recently the chief had six
men "broken" for drunkenness, and
the crusade is to l>e carried on vigor
ously, with the fate of the six held up
as an example to the rest of the men.
"Many outrages against citizens have
been committed In the past by druuk
en policemen," says a Chicago news
paper. "Even the most superficial ob
server ouijht to kuow thnt not alone
the drunken policeman, but the police
man who drinks ou duty, is a peril.
Therefore, while the civil service com
mission is weeding out the drunken
wearers of uniforms it most punish
with proper severity policemen who
(trlnt while on dijty."
