IL§ American Samoa Restored to Normal Condition Follow- ing Naval Inquiry. By the Asociated Press. SAN FRANCISCO. January 4.— American Samoa's beetle-inspecting chief of police is out of jail and the Judge who has seven other jobs is again holding court, according to ad- vices from Tutuila. This change back to mormal followed a naval inquiry which resulted in dissipating an at- tempt by a naval officer and a former newspaper reported to control the naval administration of the American DPossession in the south seas. In furtherance of this attempt the naval officer, Creed H. Boucher, lieu- tenant commander, and, the ex-re- porter. Arthur A. Greene enlisted the support of Commander A. C. Kail, sec- ond in rank to Commander Warren J. Terhune, governor of the island. The three piled charges against Terhune and his administration and finally Kall tried to send a wireless message to the Navy Department at Washing- ton branding his superior as insane. Suicide of Terhune. With the message in front of him, Terhune, suffering from i1l health, committed suicide. The.pitiful part of this tragedy developed when the naval court of inquiry, already en route to Tutuila from Hawali, absolved Ter- hune’s administration’ of all charges, recommended -the deportation _of Greene, the court-martial of Boucher and the removal of Kail from his post. Among the charges flled against Terhune’s administration was one that officials were drawing illegal extra salaries. J. Hurkin Mailo, native chief of police, and Judge A. M. Noble were especial targets of Boucher, Greene and Ka: Charges Before the Board. After Commander Terhune shot him- self Kail became acting governor, and he jailed Mailo on charges that the chief of police had urged the natives to oppose the activities of Greene and Kail. Previously Boucher had alleged that iregularties of the Terhune ad- minjstration included-paying Mailo as “beetle inspector” as well as head of the police force, but that no beetles were {nspected. Judge Noble, who, besides being district judge, was secretary to the commandant, registrar of titles, sec- retary of native affairs, judge of the probate court, superintendent of edu- cation, associate member of the high court and vice president of the Amer- ican Pank of Samoa, was charged by Boucher and Greene with being instrumental in alleged mis: 4 funds and authority. ble's court when the acting governor. Other charges before the naval in- quiry included the following: That the Terhune admi a close corporation many of its acts were illega That the governor was pl Kall clo: o- former became 2K -~ Jil | unable to perform his duties.

Boucher’s examination revealed | {that he posed as a secret service man without authority: publicly eriti- cised the Secretary of the Navy and the, President; insubordinately com- | | municated with authorities at Wash- ington in violation of regulations, and committed many other breaches of- paval regulations. /Upon examination he-declined to Briswer many questions on the ground that the answers would incriminate himself. He acknowledged that all il | charges he made were based upon hearsay and without investigation. It |] was revealed that documents were | | stolen from naval officers, but an at- | { tempt to introduce these by Greene, who acted as Boucher’s counsel, was overruled by the board. The testimony also revealed that Greene and Boucher created unrest among the natives in an effort to change the government and assume control for themselves. Their activi- ties resulted in organization of na- ‘which ent , and tives into a “committee,” forwarded an ‘Wilson to remove Gov. Terhu; the native unrest was manifested ]| by several fights with the ‘American sallors. _— The ink used in printing the bank blackness which no other ink can imi. tate.

The court held that Sjelcken, known as the “coffee king,” had been proved to have been naturalized in Cali- fornia and ordered the restoration of his certificate of citizenship. Du- plicate papers made out as of the original date of naturalization are to be issued and delivered to his widow. Mrs. Sielcken then plans to demand the return to her of his estate in this country. Sielcken died in Baden, Germany, in 1916. His executors, seeking to claim the estate, asserted his certificate of nat- uralization had been lost in a ship- wreck in 1877. The case came up in the state courts because at the date Sielcken was naturalized those courts were perferming the duties of federal district courts. California in 1867 and speni some years here before moving to New York.
