CUSTOMS OF SAMOANS
DEPICTED in MOVIES
o. P. Austin Lectures on "0ur Islands
Through Motion Picture
Camera"
BEFORE GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Z Particularly interesting from a local
point of view was the lecture on .'Our
Islands Through a Motion Picture Cam
era" delivered by o. p. Austin, secre-
tary OF the National Geographic Society,
before that body at the New Masonic
Temple yesterday afternoon and evening.
In showing the inhabitants OF the Sa-
moan Islands. their daily life and cus-
toms, the lecturer called attention to
the fact that this part OF the moving
picture reel had been made and lent to
the lecturer by Frederick Buckley Hyde,
a member Of the society, who had re-
Gently returned from a trip to the Sa-
moan Islands, where he had been made
a high chief OF the natives.
The ceremony of investing Mr.. Hyde
with that honor was graphically shown
In the picture, where Mr.. and Mrs Hyde.
surrounded by native chiefs. are seen
squatting on the ground Samoan fashion.
A festival drink. kawa, is in course of
preparation by one OF the native digni-
taries, and while this is in progress
women and men. picturesquely attired in
their native costumes Of feathers and
flowers, are singing and performing
rhythmic movements with their arms and
bodies The clapping of hands by every
body Is the signal that the drink is
ready, after which it was handed to Mr..
Hyde. who partook OF it. this being part
OF the ceremony.
Speaking of the resources OF the islands,
Mr.. Austin said:
They now support q population of TO-
100000. or more than that OF the entire
United States a century ago." said Mr..
Austin. Their commerce exceeds $780,
COO, 600, or more than that of the United
States In any year prior to 1850. The
American capital there aggregates ap-
proximately so. Oo0, 600; they send us SloO,-
10000 worth of their products each year
and take in exchange nearly s1OOOO0, 900.
The island OF Luzon. in the Philippines,
Is as large as Belgium, Holland, and
Denmark, which support a population of
Is, 000. 900; Mindinao is as big as Indiana,
Hawaii Is as large as Connecticut, and
Porto Rico Is larger than Delaware and
Rhode Island put together.
porto Rico and Hawaii supply one
fourth Of the enormous sugar consump-
ton Of the United States. Hawaii las
been extremely prosperous since ii came
permanently under the American nag in
1900.
THE Alaskan islands and mainland cost
US S.5OoOOo, an expenditure that many
believed to be quite unjustiiable: yet for
many years the annual value Of the seal
skins alone Appropriated the cost Of the
entire area, while at present the value OF
the canned salmon sent us from Alaska
in single year is twice as much as the
entire possession cost"

The Republican Congressional
Committee Adopts Reso-
luton on Subject.
FOR DELEGATE CHANGE
Three Plans for Reduction of South
ern Representation viii Be Sub
mitted to National Body.

resolution requesting the Repub-
lican National Committee to call an ex-
traordinary convention OF the party
was adopted by unanimous vote at
meeting of the Republican Congress
sional committee, held yesterday. on
GERS of the Congressional committee. of
which Frank P. Woods, of Iowa. is
chairman, desire, that a special party
convention be held at the earliest prac-
ticable date, to minimize the influence
OF the House in party conventions. The
resolution adopted reads as follows:
Resolved. That, in the judgment of
this committee, a special national con-
vention OF the Republican party should
be held as soon as practicable, for the
purpose of taking action relative to
the apportionment of delegates 10 the
national nominating convention of the
party, to the unit OF representation
therein. to the full recognition of the
primary laws of the various States per-
tanning to the election of delegates and
the national committee. and the time
when the latter shall take effect, and
to such other matters relative to the
party organization as may seem de-
sirable."
Three plans for the reduction of
Southern representation in the Repub-
lican National Convention will be sub
mitted to the national committee next
week by officers of the Congressional
committee.
Plan A Preferred.
These officers are inclined TO give pref
erence to what is known as Plan A,
which reads as follows:
-Four delegates at large for each
State and delegates for the several Con-
gressional districts as follows:
For each of such districts in which
the vote cast for the Republican candi-
date for Presidential electors in 1908 was
not more than 40 per cent of the total
vote cast for Presidential electors in such
district, one delegate: for each Of such
districts in which the Republican vote
was 40 per cent. but more than 60 per
cent, two delegates; for each OF such
districts in which the Republican vote
was more than 60 per cent, three dele
gates.
In any State where a reapportionment
act has not been passed to provide the
full number of Congressional districts.
such States shall be entitled TO dele
gates at large for such Representative at
large in Congress at the above ratio. COM
pairing the full vote OF the State with the
total Republican vote in the State. In
Arizona and New Mexico the apportion-
ment shall be based on the vote for dele
gates in Congress
