the women are the hewers of wood
and the drawers of water In

"lord of creation" will design to
raise his hand aloft and pluck for
himself the fruit of the banana and
orange tree. In Raps, however,
he will not even feed himself.
When meal time comes the woman
of the family. after foraging for
food and cooking it, must also put
it into the mouth of her lord and
master. They roll the taro ''poi"
into little balls and toss them into
the open mouths Of the men folks.
The people of Rapa wear no
clothes-or did not until a scan
dslized white missionary from
Tahiti insisted on gathering some
old garments from his more favored
psrishioners in Papeete and hur-
ried them to Rapa.
Rapa, known also as OparO, is
one of the most isolated and most
interesting islands in the South
Pacific. 1t lies south OF Tahiti,
far out in the tropics, included in
the French settlements in OceaDa
and inhabited by Polynesians of

deposits of coal, not of very good

When the Panama canal was
nearing completion there was
much talk in Tahiti of establishing

J. A. LUCUQUETTE KILLED BY
ALBERT THEREOF, FORMERLY
OF NEW IBERIA, IN PORT
ARTHUR, TEXAS.

PORT ARTHUR, Tex, Aug. 10
II. A. Lucuquette, 81, was shot and
killed about 4:30 this afternoon and
Albert Theriot, about fS, is in JAN
charged with the killing. The TRACE
DIV occurred under the shed on the
street car right of way at the Seven
tn street gate to the Gulf Company
enclosure. Six shots were fired, all
of them taking effect, three in the
head. two in the back and one in the
right hand.
Following the shooting, Theriot
fled toward town and later was ap-
pretended at the First National bank
corner by Mr.. Adcock and turned
over to the police at the station.
The body was taken in charge by j..
f. Grammier and has been prepared
for shipment to Jeanerette, La, for
mer home of deceased, for interment.
The shooting, according to Theriot,
who talked freely Of the matter when
seen in his cell at the Jail, was the
direct outcome Of trouble of nine
months standing between the dead
man and members of Theriot's fam
lily. Nine months ago, Theriot said,
while Lucuquette was bOarder at
the home Of Theriot's half brother,
Frank Darby, Darby and the man
killed today engaged in fisticuff
following Darby's allegation that Lu-
cuquette had affronted Darby's wife
and mother-in-law. Lucuquette then
left Darby's home and took up lodg
ings at 245 Dallas Avenue, where he
has roomed since with ]. A. Verret, a
cousin of Darby and Theriot.
No further trouble occurred until
the night Of the 10th, when the three
men met on Austin Ave-, and after
an alteration on the sidewalk, Darby
fired several shots at Lucuquette.
Both parties were in police court the
next day and Darby was fined for
|discharging firearms in the city
limits, while Lucuquette paid fine
for disturbing the peace. According
to testimony, in these cases, Lucu-
quette was the aggressor on this oc-
casion.
In his statement this afternoon,
Theriot claimed that as he and an
other f-brother approached the
street car shed, Lucuquette approach
ed and threatened him with violence,
and that he acted in self defense
when he drew his gun and began
firing. He declared that he was in
fear of Lucuquette, and that he had
armed himself because of that fear.
Only two others besides the slayer
and his kinsman are known to have
seen the shooting, and officers were
unable to reach them tonight. The
Inquest will be held tomorrow by
l,Justice w. F. Jones.
