INSANE MAN JUMPED FROM

monwealth), who is returning to her
home in England via Canada and the
United States, could take in the
sights and make the necessary for
NAL call The Duchess of Bedford,
with her suite, is also a through pas
senger by the Zealandia. On the way
over Lady Bedford took many oppor-
tunities to brighten up the life of tha
unfortunates in the third-class by
going among these passengers ana
singing to them. 1t is said os board
that her vocal efforts were thoroughly
successful.
Singers Welcomed Home.
Perhaps the Zealandia never had a
warmer reception to these shores
than that accorded to her yesterday,
for the wharf was thrOnged with Wis
itors to welcome the returning Ha-
waiian singers home again. Ernest
Kaai and his band were on the bridge
along with the popular commander,
j. d. S. Phillips, and sang their ma
tive songs as the zealandia made the
wharf. Needless to say the home
coming was a warm one, The boys
and girls all say that they had an eX-
cellent time down there, and the
ships officers consider that their trip
was one of the finest advertisements
that Australia and New Zealand
could receive, for they say that the
singers are full of praises for the
southern lands. One officer stated
that their voices have been spoilt by
the good time they had.
The passengers all Joined in thank
ing Kaai and his singers for the ad-
mirable entertainment furnished all
the way across the Pacific, and regret
was expressed by those going through
that they would lose the music for
the remainder of the journey.
The Zealandia had twenty-three
passengers for Honolulu and seven
teen tons of general freight, nine tons
of grass seed, 145 tons of fertilizer
and sixteen tons of liquor.
The vessel continued her voyage
to Canada last night, and was accord
ed an enthusiastic sendoff. The arr
val of the vessel here yesterday
should be regarded as a wonderfuf
achievement, for she is still working
with three cylinders only, the frac-
tured one never having been replaced.
This, it is said, will be done on her
next voyage
zeaIandia's Officers Vindicate Carter.
The absence of ex-harbor officer
Carter from the Zealandia yesterday
was noted by the officers of the YES
sci, for he has become as popular
with that ship as he was everywhere
else along the waterfront. 1t was eX-
planned that he had obtained a more
lucrative position, fact that was re-
ceived with genuine g!sdness for his
sake but all expressed their sorrow
at losing so efficient an officer, for he
had prevented a lot of slowing away
The matter of The allegations against
Carter when the Zealandia was last
here was brought up with the officer
who happened to be on the gangway
ON duty when Carter was said to have
beaten up soldier named Moore
The statement that the officer made
would have completely yindicated Car
| ter for he saw the whole affair, and
positively declared that nothing of
the kind occurred.

having been struck by anyone on the
sertion of two of the officers. AS
matter of sact they stated the
Choir members were all on board
when Carter gathered in his man,
who was at first suspected of uCing
to steal something through the port
holes.
Commonwealth's Copper Coinage.
About the first specimen of the new
Australian copper coinage was receiv-
ed in Honolulu yesterday by the Zea-
landia, and it has not made a very
favorable impression on those who
have seen it. 1t is about the size Of
a twenty-dollar gold piece, and looks
like token that is received at a mu-
scum for stick or an umbrella tax
en- by the cautious officials, or worse
still, as one person said, like a beer
check at free-for-all. Across the.
face it has the words "One Penny"
and surrounding these are the words
Commonwealth of Australia, 1911"
On the reverse side is King Georges
head with the words; "Georgivs V d
