has had good home with H. T.

she had run away from there, and

Remarkable Development Of
Primitive Islanders

"-HE remarkable advancement
made by some of the Polynesian
races in the arts of civilization
has been in late years a subject
of much interest among scientists, and
active efforts are now being made to
systematically gather and preserve the
data, which is now rapidly disappear
ing, concerning these peoples of the Pa
9cifc stands. Little Is known of their
origin. but their almost absolute isola-
5tlon for unknown centuries made their
development independent of any out
side influences. and thus all the more
Characteristic and remarkable.
The Hawaiians We're Of the highest
type Of the Polynesian family. and
their development was probably fully
as high at the time of the discovery
of the Islands by the whites, as that
attained by the Aztec Indians Of Cen-
trail and South America, whose Won

ings have fascinated anthropologists
for many years. Moreover while the

DIES ON MOTHER'S CRAZE.
Suicide of Cashier Is FolIo5Ced by
Death of His Wfe's Mother.

Mineral Point. Wis. Oct. 1S.-Beside the grave
OF his mother in Graceland Cemetery, Frank z.
Hanseome, cashier of the Mineral Point First Ma
tionaI Bank which closed last week, commit
ted suicide last night by taking carbolic acid and
then shooting himself with revolver. Mrs John
Gray, Hanscone's aged mother-in-law, died when
she saw his body.
Hanscomes body found late last night in
the family plot Of the local cemetery. 1t was
taken to the home of Mrs. Gray, who was eighty
years old. AS il taken in through the door
and Mrs. Gray caught sight Of it she dropped dead
- HanseOme ffty-hve years old. He was
never known to take a vacation. He leaves
wife and two grown daughters. The cause Of the
suicide is believed to have been despOndency, Occa-
stoned by heavy financial losses and worry over
the affairs of the bank. Philip Allen, jr, brother
in-law of HanscOme and Vice-presdent of the
hank, who has been under arrest at his home since
Friday last, charged with embezzlng $6s,O0O of the
banks funds, said to-day that HanscOme
tirely innocent of wrongdoing in connection with
the bank.
Hanscome had been connected with the bank for
twenty-five years. Throughout the financial diff
cultes he worked night and day. He also
bondsmen for Viee-President Allen on several Oc-
casions and the worry incident to the recent dis
closures preyed heavily on Hanscome's mind.
