Homicide Rate in
Nation is Highest
in Southern States

NEW YORK.-Homicides in the
United States during 1920 totalled
approximately 5000, a decrease OF
500 from the 1919 record, according
to computation by Frederick L.
Hoffman, statistician of. the Pruden-
tial Life Insurance company of
America.
The figures, made public thru The
Spectator showed Memphis, Tenn,
still in the lead with a killing record
of 63.4 persons for every 100000 Of
population.
In general, the tables showed that
in southern states, the proportion of
negroes slain was from three and
half to seven times that of whites.
Tabulations for the period 1916
1919 grouped geographically showed
the New England states had the low
est homicide rate of 2.8 for each
100000. The southern group had the
highest rate, 1913. In the middle
Atlantic states, the rate was ST.;
central states, 6.1; Rocky Mountain
states, 9.4 and Pacific coast states
90.
OF the larger cities, Bosom had the
lowest rate, 81. New York was sec
ond with So. The Chicago rate was
1913; San Francisco, 7.6; Philadel-
phia, 81; st. Louis, 1875 and Cleve-
land, 1875.

week ago letter came to parties In
San Francisco from doctor on
Pitcairn island stating that the in.
habitants were in very bad way for
clothing and many other things
which they had always been able to
buy of passing ships while they were
on the line Of travel, and since the
world war opened no ship has ever
touched their port. The doctor urges
his friends in San Francisco to try to
devise some way Of sending them the
supplies they need, and this coupled
with Miss Mccoy in New York wait
ing and watching for chance to get
home, adds one more link to the
story of the mutineers who fell in
love with Tahiti and the Tahiti peo-
pie 100 years ago and under the
stimulants Of a tryant sea captain
broke away and renowned them all
for. the love Of Tahiti and the
Tahitians.

among the sailors and this coupled
with the fact that Capt. Bligh was
an uncompromising tyrant, led to 6
mutiny among the sailors; somethine
like half of them organized a revolt
and Capt. Bligh and all that were
loyal to him were put in large boat
and cast loose upon the high seas tc
shift for themselves.
Between tehre and the shores OF
South America was a great expanse
of perhaps 5000 miles of ocean with.
out any islands. For 5000 miles ia
the westward the ocean was strewn
with small islands and on the great
island of Java was the city OF
Batavia where Europeans lived
| Capt. Bligh and his men steered their
little craft westward from island to
island living as best they could on
the fruits of the land, and working
always westward. The Pacific ocean
received it's name from the fact that
1t was so pacific, and whatever bad
storms there were in the next couple
of months were weathered by this
little boat On the fourteenth of
June they arrived at Batavia 5000
miles from the ship and eventually
got back to England.
The British government never has
been the kind to forget things like
this and it was only natural that
they should send out another expedi-
ton to go in search of Bountiful and
the mutineers. For sixty years the
british government was on the trail
of those mutineers, even tho they
we're all dead their descendants still
lived.
When the little boat was set adrift
with the captain and his loyal men,
the ship Bountiful returned to
Tahiti. Here they proceeded to en-
Joy life and mediate on the future.
In the course Of time some of them
decided that 1t was altogether prob
able that that little boat or some of
its members would eventually return
to England and that when the Brit
ish government had information of
what they had done would take oc-
casion to punish them. AS they
talked the matter over there were
nine OF them that decided that 1T
was only matter Of time until they
would have to answer for their crime
against the British government, and
they were in favor of hiding them
selves where the British could never
ind them. Accordingly arrange
nents were made in 1890 for the use

4 more than a thousand miles and took
up their residence on Pitcairn island
in the year 1890. During the next
ten years eight Of the Englishmen
died and only one man named Adams
survived. By his natural ability as
an organizer and worker he had
become the chief of the island, and
beautiful children were growing up
among them. Pitcairn island was
only mile wide and two miles and
half long, and in the course of fifty
years it became overpopulated. This
big chief Adams had $50 descendants
altho he had died about the year
1920. During the years when all
the travel went around Cape Horn,
vessels frequently stopped at Pit
cairn island and the islanders had
opportunity to buy things. In this
way they secured clothing and the
various other things which they
could grow almost anything they
wanted and they imported clothing
and various other things by means of
these passing ships.
History records that in the year
1856 the British government gath
cred up 200 of these Pitcairn island
ers and transported them to Norfolk
islands about fifteen or eighteen
hundred miles to the northwestward.
One authority mentions this as
punishment for the sins of their
forefathers, but there is also an init
nation that the island was over
populated and that these people were
transported to Norfolk, where they
could have more room. However.
that may be many of those who were
transported afterward returned to
Pitcairn island.

around Cape Horn and Pitcairn is
land was left off of the route Of

CUTTING OUT THE JAZZ
BY GUY FLENNER


Jazz music is on trial in thi.
country Many authorities declare il
Is corrupttve of musical taste and |.
exercising an indecorous influence or
the minds of the young to say moth
ing about torturing the nerves of the
old.
A nationwide campaign is or
against His Jazzship. He is beine
pilloried without mercy.
We connect, the jazz craze too ex.
clusively, perhaps, with music. II
has other applications. If harmful
as matter Of delirious orchestra.
ton, it is more injurious in other
relationships.
One of the prevailing varieties
that ought to be relegated is the fear
jazz. 1t is distinctly tremolo in its
expression and designed for the more
or less weak. AS a dance 1t might be
called the frolic of the frightened. -,
Half the trouble with this country
today and perhaps larger percent
age, is due to popular fear. There
is lack of confidence-in ourselves.
in our neighbors, in our community
and state and in our country. Peo-
pie are scared. They are afraid to
move against their own bugabo, al
tho having tackled Germany with
out hesitation. They are filled with
dire apprehension. Gloom encom-
passes their minds and terror grips
their limbs. They really want to d.
things but they are so full of their
own wild alarms they cannot hear
the peals of progress.
Today there are more than a bill
hon and a half dollars withdrawn
from circulation and tucked awav in
idleness, benefitting none. Tha
money, If in circulation thru bank
ing channels would make as good
times as we have right to EXPECT.
But when it is bottled up, all suffer.
1t has been deposited in the bank
or billiousness by the fingers of
fright.
we will never have good times so
long as we indulge this fear iazz.
FIRST we must adopt movement
more methodical, more courageous.
we shall have to quit sneaking
around on our tiptoes and 20 at it
with our feet as firmly set as our
jaws. Money is simply commodity.
IL happens to be the measure of ma
ter1al value. 1t is a convenient
means of liquidation, altho we might
use something else, cat skins, for in
stance. But 1t happens to be money.
Therefore, 1t must be used to be of
any benefit. Whenever anyone starts
withdrawing it from the channels of
trade he starts stagnation.
If the people of this country would
resolve, and act on it, to recommence
purchasing the things they need and
making improvements their property
requires, and for which they could
pay, and yet without denial of rea-
sonable pleasures and recreations,
there would be instant revival. And
there would be something with
which to meet our obligations. 1t is |
easier to pay even taxes when one
has something left.
But when people are frightened
until they are frozen in their shoes
here Is bound to be inactivity and
everyone is injured.
When we contemplate that this
ear Jazz is being tiptoed in a
country that is fundamentally sound
md the greatest producer in the
world, certainly the suggestion is not
lntimely that we discard such music,
trike up the old RED, White and
3lue," throw out our chests in con-
ldence and move as a unit into the
ance of development: II

LADY OF TROPICS
LONGS FOR HOME
Young Woman II a s
Waited Ten Years for
Boat to Leave

A young woman whose name il
Emily Mccoy is in New York Cit!
waiting for chance to get home
She has to go by boat when she goe.
and she has been waiting now fol
ten years and no boat has ever LEFT
port that was going her way. Hell
home is at Pitcairn Island in the
Pacific ocean just south of the
= Tropic of Cancer, and about half way
Z between Australia and South
America. 1t is one of the south.
eastern most islands of the vast
group stretching for 5000 miles from
Asia southeastward. She was born
and raised on Pitcairn Island and is
of English and Tahitian stock.
There is a wonderful romance con-
nected with her life, several books
have been written on the subject of
her people and here is a short re-
- view of the circumstances.
= In the year 1857 Cartaret, the ex-
plorer discovered what is known as
Pitcairn Island. When Capt. Cook
made his first famous voyage around
the world he touched at Pitcairn
Island. When Capt. Cook made his
second voyage around the world he
had as a member Of his crew man
named William Bligh, and this man
Bligh learned considerable of the
great family Of archipelagos Of the
) South sea.
8 In the year 1887 William Bligh
was in command of the British ship
Bountiful and was sent on cruise
around the world by way Of the
islands Of the South sea. In the fall
of 1887 they visited the island Of
Tahiti and remained there about six
months. In that fine climate where
all tropical fruits grew in abundance
where there was no cold weather,
Were people scarcely had any use
for clothing, where they could 60
naked if they wanted to and be quite
comfortable, where they could pick
from the trees and bushes all man
ner of foods and fruits, where they |
could take from the shallow water,
all manner of fish food and shells. |
It seemed paradise for the English |
sailors and they fell thoroly in love
with the whole situation.
u those days the islands OF the
South seas were teeming with popu-
lation, perhaps the most beautiful
creatures in the world. They spent
.sseat deal Of time playing, bathing,
obi. ling and dancing, and travellers
from all countries at all times have
invariably fallen in love more or less
with those people.
In April 1888 when the ship
Bountiful had finished its mission In
that Dart Of the world and sailed

BIG COFFEE CROPS GROWN

HONOLULU. Dee, H. In the his toric old Kona District, on the Island of Hawaii scene of many an ancient battle and legendary exploit of god and domi.god, the prosaic coffee bean now holds sway.
 Many acres of that picturesque country about the lower slopes of the two great volcanoes. HualaIai and Mauna Loa. are now planted to coffee, and the name Kona coffee carries with il remembranCes of a mighty pal atable beverage to those who have tried it.
 The 1921 crop of Ron coffe will be a large one, growers state, but low prices may influence some growers to let the berries remain on the bushes, labor conditions being such that pick ing at present prices can only he done at loss. No exact estimates of the 1921 crop have been made
