Ships seldom go to Pitcairn Island
and Miss Mccoy has been figuring for
eight years just how to get home. The
opening of the Panama Canal gives
vessels direct route to the Samoan
island and she is confident that she
will be able to complete the trip with
out much difficulty trr
Pitcairn island belongs to Great
Britain. 1t lies south of the Paumotu
archipelago and is 100 miles from the
nearest member Of this group. 1t has
an area of two square miles. The
island was settled in 1880 by members
of the crew of the steamship Bounty
who had mutinied. Headed by Fetch
er Christian, who led the muttueers,
eight white men, six Polynesian men
and twelve Polynesian women took
possession of the beautiful island and
burned the Bounty. Alexander Smith
was the only man alive in 1900. He
later took the name Of Alexander John
Adams and trained the youths who
were left in his charge.
He was succeeded after his death in
1929 by George Hum hobbs. who was
appointed pastor. In 1881 Joshua Hill,
an adventurer, appeared at Pitcairn
and making a bluif that he was a gov
eminent agent, tyrannized over the
islanders until British man OF war
put him out OF business in 1888.
The islanders are closely intermar-
ried and have. it is said, but five fam
lily names. All speak and write Eng
lish and are Seventh Day Adventists.
They have no money and intoxication
is unknown. Girls over II can vote.
Ships rarely visit Pitcairn except
when the crews are in need of vegeta-
bles and fruits. The island is within
the jurisdiction of the British high
commissioner for the Pacific.

Root was made.
Preceding the decision. It is known
that H. d. Davidson, of ]. P. Morgan
and Company was present and as
sured the politicians that the firm he
represents and those associated with
it would undertake to finance botf
the convention fight fer Root mad the
campaign following in case Root Is
nominated.
1t is known here that Penrose told
the others at the conference that the
proposal TO nominate Root Is an alb
surdity. Root could not get any vot $
west of the Allegheny mountains, and
the votes he would receive east OF the
mountains would not put him in the
running. The Root candidacy. he toll
them, would do for men who do no-
care whether the Republican party
wins or loses the coming election.
For himself, he wants to win.
A statement appearing this morn
ing attributing to Justice Hughes the
assertion that Roosevelt will be nomi-
mated has stirred the politicians here
profoundly. They do not know wheth-
er Justice Hughes made any such as
sertion, but they believe he did oa'
cause 1t is in accord with their own
growing conviction on the subject.

but | want to ask you just this one
favor: Give me seat in the court
room. from the beginning of the trial
to the end, where l can keep my eye
on that man and moment by moment

Verdict Expected.
Few persons in the courtroom. II
any, doubted that the verdict would
be guilty. after DR.. Waite went on
the witness stand and told with ev-
cry appearance of calm Indifference,
the details of his crimes, declaring
his main motive for them was to OBJ
tain money. Opinion of his alIenists
that he was moral imbecile' was
swept aside by the associations of the
states allenists. that he was sane and
knew the nature and consequence of
his crimes, and by the charge OF JUS
tice Shearn that moral imbecillty"
had no place in the law.
Waite married Clara Peck Grand
Rapids last September. He expected
$4,000 in lump sum from his faith
er-in-law as a wedding present, but
received instead $500 n month. The
ueullsl anu MS VIE lOOk an apart
ment in Riverside drive, this city.
Waite received a gift OF $4,000 from
Miss Katherine Peck. and induced her
to let him invest $4,000 of her for
tune. Waite admitted that he sent
$4,000 to his brother in Grand
Rapids and used the remainder to
speculate in stocks.
Poisoned on Visit.
Mrs. Hannah Z. Peck. his mother
in-law, came here to visit the Waites
on January 10 last. Waite placed
the germs in her food. She died Jan
uarv 80 and her body was taken to
Grand Rapids where it was cremated.
John r. Peck went to visit the
Waites after his wife died and Waite
vainly sprayed his throat and impreg-
mated his food with disease bacllli,
finally resorting to poison with the
result that Mr.. Peck died March IL
last.

NURSE IS GOING
HOME TO Be
A QUEEN
Left Pitcairn Island Fifteen
Years Ago to Study in
United States.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. May 27-Miss
Emily Mccoy, graduate nurse who
has lived in this city eight years, will
start within few weeks for Pitcairn
island, in the mideastern Pacific
oceon, where she expects in time to
be chosen as queen to succeed her
father, who has been ruler of the lit
tie kingdom of 1876 souls for many
years.
She is going back to her people with
twentieth century ideas and many
plans, one Of which is the determine
ton 10 practice the art of healing
among among the inhabitants, TO
whom physicians, nurses and dentists
have never been known since the
island was colonized by mutineers 126
years ago.
Miss Mccoy left Pitcairn Island If
teen years ago by a missionary boat
following the death of her mother, who
suffered much because Of want OF med
ical aid. She promised then that she
would not return until she equipped
herself as a physician and nurse in
order to be able TO minister TO the
physical wants OF the people OF the
island on which she was born. She
studied medicine and dentistry at
Samoa, and since she has been in this
country she has thoroughly equipped
herself in the science Of nursing. She
believes that she is qualified to do a
mighty work of mercy among those
she loves. r." f@f d"
Miss Mccoy will take with her a
piano which she purchased in this city.
With the exception OF an organ which
Queen Victoria gave to the Pitcairn
islanders in 1870 the piano, she says,
will be the only musical instrument
on the island.
Inasmuch as the Pitcairn women
are in the majority and women have
the vote as well as men. there doesn't
seem to be any doubt that Miss Nc
Coy will in time be called upon to step
into her fathers shoes as the ruler.
The ruler is chosen by direct election.
