GREAT FALLING Off REPORTED IN THE
REGISTRATION OF ORIENTAL BABIES

When the books of the territorial sec
retary's office close at the end of the
fiscal year in June there will be found
to be only about seventyfve Hawaiian
birth certificates issued to native-born
orientals in the twelve months. That
figure is based on the current average
which has so far brought the number
up to sixty-three.
The birth registrations this year look
like small patch against the two thou.

retary's Office at the close of the last
fiscal year. Secretary Mott-Smith and
his chief clerk, Henry O'Sullivan,
aseribe the falling off to other things
than falling off in oriental babies.
The oriental baby crop is always a
bumper one.
In the first place, the new law that
went into effect on the first of the pres
emit fiscal year, took off the time limit
on registration and boosted the rates
to So head, which was double the
former price. Again, the blanks given
out at the secretary's Office are usually
taken by the applicant to notary who
charges him fifteen or twenty dollars
to fill it out. This brings the price of
American citizens up to $40 a head,

DUKE, FASTEST MAN
IN WORLD, ASSERT
NEW YORK WRITERS

New York sporting writers display no
hesitation in crediting Duke Kahana-
mokn with being the fast 10O-yard
swimmer in the world.
There are some points, however, upon
which his style is criticized. He doesn u
know how properly to take the turns,
the New York men say, losing ground
instead of benefiting by them.
In this matter Duke undoubtedly will
be sufficiently versed before he leaves
for Stockholm, but the knowledge will
not be of great value to him in the
Olympic games owing to the fact that
the shorter distances will be over a
straightaway course.
Even the Australian, Longworth, {"
writes New York critic, twill hardly
prove Kahanamoku Is equal. His stroke
is in fact ideal for open water swim.
ming. Unlike our crack indoor competi-
tors, who lie fiat, almost horizontally,
he holds head and shoulders well above
the surface, taking long, sweeping
drives with his arms and keeping his
body constantly under way by narrow
continuous straight leg thrash, typical
of the crawl"

tralian oast-Sixty-S Pearl
Fishers Go Down.

One hundred and seventy persons,
fifty of them first-class passengers and
eighty of them members of the crew
of the British steamship Koombana
lost their lives off the western Austral-
ian coast on April second and third in
one of the most disastrous typhoons
that has swept that coast for more
than a decade. In addition to the
loss of the Koombana and number of
smaller craft at anchor in the harbors,
sixty-seven pearl-fshing boats were
lost, carrying to death forty of the
fishers.
Along the coast in dozen fishing
villages homes were swept away and
the sea was strewn with housewalls;
furniture and most of the clothing of
the hundreds of families who escaped
with their lives by taking refuge in
dugouts in>the hills. Descriptions of
the scenes brought to Perth, West Aus
tralia, depicted conditions as have not
prevailed since 1889.
The wreckage of the Koombana,
which belongs at Adelaide, was found
in the vicinity of Broome, where the
entire coast was swept by the fercest
part of the typhoon. There was not a
trace of person of the fifty pas
sengers and crew of eighty, except a
number of dead bodies cast upon the
beaches.
The Koombana was one of the
largest steamships plying those waters,
being 21s2 tons net, and was also one
of the newest, having been put in the
service almost Immediately after
launching, in 1900.

FUNDS FOR LOCAL PANAMA
FAIR COMMISSION LACKING

Governor Frear has notified the ways
and means committee of the chamber of
commerce and merchants association,
organized to devise method by which
temporary funds could be raised to meet
current expenses of the Hawaii Fair
Commission, that he will be unable to
spare any part of his contingent fund
for the commission. The committee
asked the Governor to allow not to ex-
coed $4,000 of his special fund for ex.
penses incident and necessary to the
conduct of the commission s work dur
ing 1912.
Following this announcement made at
a special meeting of the ways and
means committee yesterday afternoon
tn the Office of f. d. Tenney, the COM
mittee decided to resort to a postal
card campaign to obtain an expression
of opinion of the business community.
The commissioners want to know if the
mercantile interests favor an elaborate
exhibit or one planned along economical
lines, and also whether these interests
would advocate that the commercial or
CARNATIONS recommend immediate APP
preparations for a,proper Hawaiian ex-
hibit at San Francisco in 1915.
Want Publicity.
Before the postal cards are sent out
the ways and means committee request
ed that full publicity be given to all
matters appertaining to the fair com
mission, it's possible recommendations
to the Governor and to the next legis-
lature, an expression of an estimate of
the cost of the Hawaii exhibit at San
Francisco, With such publicity the
ways and means committee believes the
commercial interests will be able to
make intelligent replies.
p. A. Swift, chairman; w. H. McIn-
erny, secretary; E. D. Tenney of the
chamber Of commerce, and J. T. War.
rem of the merchants association were
at the meeting. Messrs. J. NJ. Dowsett
and F. Klamp of the chamber of COM
merce were unable to be present. H.
p, Wood, chairman, and A. p. Taylor,
secretary of the Hawaii Fair Commits
sion, were also in attendance.
Committee Puzzled.
Following the reading of Governor
Frear's letter the committee found it
self in a quandary as to what next to
do, until MIR. Tenney suggested the pos
tai card system. Mr.. McInerny stated
that he had been informed that the
scope of the commission appointed by
the Governor was to make an investi-
cation of the fair project and to rec
ommend to the coming legislature the
features that should be embodied in the
exhibit.
Mr.. Wood explained that this would
have been done, but for the fact that
all fair matters at San Francisco had
commenced earlier than anticipated and
that States and Territories and posses
sions were selecting sites, and were
plunging into the initial plans for their
exhibits. AT present, he said, Hawaii
can make no representations to the
San Francisco fair committee as to

CIVIC FEDERATION
DECIDES TO DEFER
RECOMMENDATIONS

No action on the recommendation of
a citizens ticket will be made by the
civic federation until after the April
conventions are held. In a verbal re-
port yesterday Robbins b. Anderson of
the legislative committee, said that
there We're two reasons why it is deem
ed proper to defer action. One was
that it should be handled by the il
coming committee, and the second was
that any effort to outline citizens
ticket now might serve to complicate
the political situation, and could just
as well be left to later date.
j. M. McChesney for the parks COM
mittee stated that all the deeds for
the Nuuanu park lands would be in
within a few days and that the money
would be paid over. The $4,000 sub.
scribed for the Japanese park scheme
had been paid over to Treasurer
Dickey.
President Smith announced the fol-
lowing committees for the ensuing
year:

The question of the non-payment of
the 1912 dues and the necessity of fill,
ing the treasury, which is now empty,
came in for round of discussion. 1t
was decided to let all members known
through the press that the dues are soon
to be collected, and that with the leav-
ing of copy Of z federation Is report,
each member is expected to dig up his
dollar and pay it over to the messenger.
