has Just been announced by Officials

They have made public evidence
tending to prove that in 500 x. D.
eighty canoes left the Hawaiian ISL

Wiermu. or William. Duncan, q
Maori dairy farmer Of D~annevirke,
New Zealand, who races his ancestry
back one hundred and ten generations,
or to about 500 years before Christ as
Polynesian generations run, came here
with nineteen Of his ,countrymen and
ccuntrywomen in a search for the n
which would bind the Maori and Ha-
wafian races.
According to the statement. OF James
N. Lambert, presiding elder Of the
New Zealand mission of h Mormon
church, and President f. Wesley

faith. under whose auspices the Maoris
came to Honolulu. the two races were
found to merge at the sixty nth gen

When Duncan. who learned his gen

his family tree with that Of Emma X.

OF Hawaii. he found that they had an

Duncan's ~senealogy. From Hema
back through the ages it. was discov'

Mr.. Carpenter is hero to turn over
administration Of his ONCE to the sec

through the bureau Of non-Christian

temporal sovereignty but gained rec
ignition as ecclesiastical head Of the
Mohammedan church in the 'Sulu
archipelago. The treaty guarantees
to the sultan and his people "the same
religious freedom had.& by all ad-
herents of all other religious creeds,
the practice OF which is not in VIOLA
ton of the basic principles of the
laws OF the United States"
1T is important to note said Car
penter in one Of his messages written
as governor. that this includes a
Limitation as to religious practice
which necessarily includes the aban-
donment of polygamy. There al be
no question that 1t will disappear as
the relative number of persons Of the
two sexes reach an approximate nat.
ural equality.
