Palmyra Island
Unsolved Problem
For Judge Cooper
Many People Would Live in
Mid Pacific Eden But Trans
portation Impossible Now

That Oceanic Steamship Company
vessels, Australia-bound. can by a
slight detour pass close enough to
Palmyra island to make possible a
visit to this famous little archipelago
is the Information brought back by
Judge Henry E. Cooper, who has Just
returned from mainland visit He
talked the plan over with officers Of
the Sonoma, on which he came here.
and thinks it may give opening for a
plan of developing the Palmyra group
as q tourist resort
Though he Is the owner and king
OF Palmyra, Judge CooEer is finding
that 1t is not easy to do anything with
this beautiful little group of islets
south of the Hawaiian group.
Palmyra island is still an unsolved
problem he says. 81 have no deal
on for its disposition. The usual grist
of letters reached me either while
was away or on my return from people
who wished the privilege Of going
down there and living. but the diff.
Guilty is that of quick and commodious
transportation. People who have the
means to take this trip are the sort
who do not relish hardships. Most OF
them would not like TO do down in q
small vessel. There was some talk
with the officers OF the Sonoma Of the
feasibility of the Oceanic steamers
making q 40-mile detour which would
bring them close to the group. but nc
definite plans we're made.
Something really should be done
with Palmyra. But It IS real prob
lem now. | do not know whether OF
not shall be able to go down there
soon.
Palmyra island Is popularity sup
posed to be treaure island and Il has
q romantic history. Judge Cooper and
party Of friends sailed there some
years ago and were charmed with tbs
natural beauties Of the many small isl
cts and tiny channels.

books before Democratic leaders take
the stump and urge retention in gov

assistance of numerous Democrats,

States who oppose the child labor

1T is understood now es hereto
fore that the president would prompt
Nv veto the immigration bill, as he
did when sent to him by the proceed
ing Congress. He would assign the
same reasons. Its passage over his
veto would not be pleasant matter
to have banded about in the cam

the administration forces will seek to
prevent action. Failing to be sue
cessful the veto power win be exer-

kill the measure. The plan most
favored is to permit the Objectionable
