EXPEDITION
TO FIND ORIGIN
Beginnings Of the Polynesian Race
} VIII Be Looked Into by Yale
Unive rsity Professor
s Is Unique Quest.

Plans have been perfected by the
Bishop museum at Honolulu ana
Yale university for an expedition INTO
the South seas to determine the ORR
gin of the Polynesian race, held TO
be one of the two outstanding prob
lens in ethnoiogy of the present age.
Prof. Herbert z. Gregory has author
lied revelation in the Boston Chris
tan Science Monitor Of the theories
underlying a unique quest
1t seems that while many hypo-
theses have been advanced by eth
nologists concerning the point from
which the Polynesians began the
nigrations which eventually scatter
ed them broadcast throughout the
South seas as far north as Hawaii,
the final stopping place, yet the prob
lem has never been solved as mat
ter of historical fact. The Hawaiians.
Samoans. Tahitians. Tongans and
Maoris are distinct race belonging
to the stone age, but with evidence
of Aryan origin They live only on
the islands Of the Pacific. The dues-
ton to be determined is where these
groups came from, and how and why
they spread themselves over the
Pacific, with canoes as their only
means OF transportation.
The origin and migrate OF the
Polvnesian race and of the American
Indian are the two problems regard
ing native races that most concern
us in America Ethnologists. botan-
lists and biologists are tracing the
American tribes back through British
Column bia and Alaska to Siberia and
the regions beyond. The Polynesian
problem is much more diftcult be-
cause il involves the collection OF
data widely scattered throughout hun
dreds of islands, and the separation
of racial traits and interlocked Gus
toms and languages OF Polynes1an.
Melanesian and Micronesian peoples.
1t can be solved. Prof. Gregory says,
only by carefully organized investl-
cations in areas widely separated
during An interval extending over
years. It Is an exceedingly fascinat-
ing problem of the highest import
ance in any study of the history OF
the human race.
Funds sufficient for a years work,
contributed to Yale university by
Bayard Dominick of New York, have
been placed at the disposal of the
trustees of the museum. Investiga-
tons resulting from the use of these
funds will be credited to the "Bayard
Dominick expedition" Reports of the
results are TO be issued in fashion
leaving no doubt of their authenticity
and the expectations of ethnologists
have been aroused In the highest
degree.

Fans Will Recall Death in 1906 OF
Fred Whitney, Catcher for
Burlington Who Was
Beaned.
EVANS THREW THE BALL
He Was Pitching for Waterloo at the
Time and His Work Was Serious.
ly Affected by the
Tragedy.

In the death Of Ray Chapman
Cleveland shortstop, old Iowa State
League fans will recall the similar
case of the death of Catcher Fred
Whitney Of Burlington, in 1906. Whit
ney was struck on the head with
pitched bali, hurled by Waterloo
pitcher by the name of Evans. He
died the following day. Ned Egan was
plotting the Burlington outfit that
year and felt deeply Whitney's death
as did all Of the fans over the cir.
emit. He was a popular young catch
er and one who was slated to go III
to the big leagues, as his work was
being watched by scouts early IN the
season.
Evans was pitching for Waterloo,
and he threw very speedy ball. He
was considered fair pitcher as long
as he could control the ball, but wild
ness was one of his besetting sins, as
fans recall. 1t was wild ball, really
that struck Whitney, rather than a
ball pitched deliberately close TO hin,
from crowding the plate. The affair at
the time caused considerable COM
ment all through the league and
Evans work was affected all through
the season on account of the accident.
Lunte May Get Chance.
That a Burlington player may take
Chapman's place is the guess of the
Gazette's sporting writer. Harry
Lunte who performed for the Path
finders at short when Hayden had the
team is believed to be the man to fill
Chapman's shoes.
The Gazette says:
Harry Lunte, one time short stop
for the Burlin gton baseball team, may
take the place of Ray Chapman on the
Cleveland club of the American
league, according to word received
here. Chapman is the sensational
shortstop who was killed when hit by
a pitched ball.
Information received in Burlington
is to the effect that Lunte Is to be
given his big chance" He has been
with Cleveland for some time but due
to the sensational work Of the other
players has not been one of the ''regu-
lars" He viii play the shortstop posi-
don.
Lunte played with this city in the
Central association and was under the
wing of big Tim Hayden. Incidentally
Hayden always held Lunte as n favor
tie and many of the local fans will
remember at least one feature in his
playing-his easy, yet sure, peg to
first base when fielding batted ball.
Some often accused Harry of being a
little lazy, but his throw generally
beat the player to the initial sack.

SHE MAKES NEWS
REAL PALATABLE.
Miss Janet Richards Reads the News
papers, Digest the Information
in Them and Then Gives
It to Customers.

Fred G. Kelly, in Peoples Maya
CINE for August. tells about Miss
Janet Richards, who has been making
a fortune in installments of many
thousa nds of dollars a year, just from
telling people what is in the daily
newspapers.
Her clients are. for the most part.
women VITO have a commendable de-
sire to discuss current events intelli-
gently at dinner parties. or else
where, but who do not always have
the time or inclination to get the full
drift Of affairs out of the papers.
They are able to take a short cut to
the Information they desire by having
Miss Richards read the papers and
then explain to them all about what
is going on.
I'm other words. Miss Richards de-
votes herself to giving talks on cur
rent events. She reads the news,
digests 1t, and then prepares neat
little capsule review Of it that is
palatable and easy to take-all for
so cents a head. Hundreds Of per
sons in seven different cities go each
week to hear her talks. She never
goes on the platform for less than
s100 and usually her revenue for a
single talk is far in excess Of that.
Six months is her working period
each year, and during that time she
talks once or twice every week day.
At the end of her six working
months she has made so much money
that if 7 we're to tell you the amount
you would just laugh and say surely
do not know what I'm talking about
And, besides, having prospered sha
has performed a real service in plac-
ing facts in many a mind that might
otherwise have lain fallow.

ment of the day, when, as the flags
fell away, the statue was revealed. and
Lincoln, so full of dignity and mod
esty, stood. with slightly bowed head.
before the great concourse of people
while the band played God Save the
King" He must have had dead
soul to whom the mere wonder of the
thing did not appeal. It seemed as
if Lincoln himself, in his seemingly
devotional attitude, was astounded at
and almost deprecated it.. How little,
indeed, can he. in his essential sim
plicity, have dreamed of such stu
alton in his life!
After the national anthem came
"The Star-Spangled Banner" and then,
beautifully, the Abbey choir sang "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic" and
then. again, God Save the King" 1t
rained increasingly; but no rain could
dampen the enthusiasm or lessen the
emotion of a memorable and wonder
full afternoon.
The statue itself is severe in it's
simplicity. At the base yesterday
were placed five wreaths, from the
Anglo-American society, the Pilgrims,
the Lancashire Cotton Spinners. the
native races Of Africa (through Bishop
Oluwole, the assistant bishop of Nj
geria), and the veterans of the Ameri-
can civil war in England.

Wedding Ceremony, Staged ac Lark, Ties Husband" and "Wife" for
 Life, Rules Court.

Trenton, N. LA court here has re- fused to annul the marriage of Pearsy Girvan and Georgiana Griffin, alias Georgiana Williams, which Girvan sought to have set aside on the ground that it was contracted as joke; that he and the girl had not lived together after the ceremony; that he had con- tributed nothing to her support, and that she had asked for nothing.
 The marriage was performed August 16, s1917, by Rev. Walter Earle Lad don, a Methodist minister, at Belmar, where the couple met.
 Girvan, in his petition, alleged that the ceremony was simply vacation frolic, that he did not feel bound by it and he thought the girl also regard ed it as joke.
