SOUL COLONY :.
FOR PALMYRA IS
A POSSIBILITY
Continued from page onel

35 miles OF Palmyra, and IL the colony
owned a powerful motor launch and
had a small radio station they could
keep in touch with the outside world
; through these, going out to meet the
big steamers as they pass that point.
Near Tanning island.
Moreover. Palmyra is only 165
miles distant from flaming island, the
location. of a cable station at pres
ent, and with power launch that
place would be within easy reach of
the colony. Z
The chief difficulty In establishing
an institution of this kind, as | see it,
would be in gathering together the
right sort OF people, those who would
prove congenfal in the long solitude Of
the mid-sea islands, able to live near
each other, yet: independent each oil
the other and without discord or mis-
conduct. ... ~*-
I'LL decide to venture the expert
ment / shall visit these applicants on
the mainland, calling upon each in
turn, to ascertain as carefully as pos
sible whether they are the right sort.
At first I should accept only select
few, these to form the nucleus Of the
larger colony which might be built up
on the islands later" -. ~.
The judge says he has figured out
the economic side of the proposition
and that the financial part. of the
scheme, while not promising returns
as Turing as some other propositions
he has in mind for the islands, could
be made satisfactory II one were con.
tent with a small monetary return.
Figured in contentment, however, it
would be made to yield huge profit,
he surmises. H.. ~. ~ - il. -: -
Several Plans In View. -. ..> # s
However, the judge has not yet COM
mitted himself unreseryedly to the
visionary plan. He is considering
other suggestions for the development
OF his insular possessions. He has
not given up entirely the idea of a
colony of south sea islanders, employ.
ed by the month, year or crop, to en-
gage in the copra industry. He also
is viewing with interest proposition
by a number of Hawaiians who. with
their families, would establish homes
at Palmyra and develop the fishing
and copra resources of the beautiful
coral lagoon and island group on a
percentage basis.
Meantime, before he reaches a con-
cllsfpn Judge Cooper contemplate an.
other VISIT to the islands. He expects
to sail southwark again on his schoon.

with small company of friends to

fishing and indulge in a short vacas

cision on any plan fer the commercial.

Tragedy.

CAMDEN, M j., March 6.-Frank
q. Duncan. SO, a farmer, shot and
killed his wife, Patience. three years
his Junior at their home between
Nile Springs and Blackwood, and
then Committed suicide by sending a
bullet into his brain.
Soon after the double tragedy
Frederick Slater, a farmer living op.
posite the Duncan farmhouse, re.
ceived by special messenger a letter
from Duncan asking him to prevent
his children, Florence and orville
Duncan, 8 and s, from entering the
house on their return from school, as
both their father and mother would
be dead. Duncan wrote that he was
driven to kill his wife and himself
because of notes, amounting to 81 900,
which he was unable TO meet.
Prosecutor Craft learned that Dun.
can and his wife quarrelied over
James Pollock, a former farmland in
Duncan's employ, who now works on
the Slater farm, and suspects that fin.
ancial Embarrassment may not be the
real motive for the tragedy.
AS soon as Slater read the letter
from Duncan be crossed to the farm.

Duncan on the dining room floor.
Duncan was dead I'm his bedroom on
the floor above. Each had met death
with one bullet. Slater notified the
authorities and Mrs. Slater took
charge OF the Duncan children.
Pollock, the farmland, told Prose
cutor Craft that he left Duncan's EN-.
ploy on December IA and went to
live in Philadelphia. He later re.
ceiyed a letter from Mrs. Duncan in
which she said that she was sorry he
had been discharged and promised to
try to induce her husband to take
him back. After moving to a new ad-
dress he learned that second letter
written by Mrs. Duncan had been re.
turned because it could not be de.
livered. and Duncan opened and read
It. Arrow between husband and wife
was the result.
Pollock then got a job on the Slater
farm. He said he often saw Mrs.
Duncan about her work. but denied
that he ever visited her. The prose.
cutor says he Is satisfied that Mrs.
Duncan's letters to Pollock led to
domestic differences and the tragedy.
