SCIENTIFIC MEN
TO STUDY TAHITI
Two Museums Have Expeditions in
Hawaiian Islands.

Papeete, Tahiti, Jan. 1.-Two Amer
lean scientific expeditions are in
Tahiti-one from the Bishop Museum
at Honolulu and the other from the
Museum Of Natural History at New
York. The expedition from Hawaii is
chiefly concerned in chronological
studies in the outlying islands-the
Marquessas and Austral Archipelagos
where traces of the ancient customs
of the Eastern Polynesians can still
be found On Tahiti itself all mem
DRY of the customs and legends of
their ancestors has been lost by the
natives. Or if not wholly lost they
are carefully kept by the few of the
older generation who survive, and
are not communicated to the white
man.
1t is said that in the mountains are
many burial caves full of relics of
bygone days that would be of the
greatest value to the scientific in
vestigator But the entrances have
been carefully concealed and no native
will lead white man to them, as
they fear the vengeance of the de-
parted spirits whose earthly tene-
ments are deposited there.
The other expedition is seeking
specimens of the bird life Of the
islands.

ALL ENLISTMENTS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Two reso-
lutions proposing stop or limit re-
cruiting were introduced in the senate
today but did not come up for dis
cussion.
Senator Dial, democrat, South Car
DINA, proposed a measure to prohibit
further recruiting for army, navy or
marine corps, the resolution asserting
that $4,000 men had been obtained
during the war for the three services,
causing a deficit in appropriations and
the burden beyond the capacity of the
country to endure.
Senator New, republican, Indiana,
proposed to instruct the secretary of
war to stop army enlistments until
the force was reduced to 175,000 men,
the number appropriated for in cur

STOCK MARKET HAS
SOME GOOD GAINS
Speculative Shares Advance and e
change Is Strong

NEW YORK, Jan. Speculative
issues were the prominent featlsres
of today's stock market, their variafe
strength, which probably proceeded
from pool operations, affording strik-
ing contrast to the irregular or slug
gish tone of seasoned shares.
The heavy tone of rails was a dis
tinct disappointment to traders who
had hoped that the January reinvest-
ment inquiry and enlarged transport
tation earnings would make q marked
impression on the quarter of the list
News of the day was of the con
fusing character although not lacking
in constructive elements Exchange
on London was strong, moderate re-
covery was reported in the price Of re-
fined copper and partial resumption of
activity was announced from industrial
centers where stagnation recently
ruled.
These developments were neutraiized
to an extent by more bank failures at
western agricultural points further
cutting by independent steel producers
and additional wage reducings in the
textile and affiliated trades. Oils and
shipping We're the chief reactionary
features. Mexican petroleum made
an extreme reversal of nearly ten
points Much of the rebound in the.
final dealings was ascribed to short
covering. No perceptible relaxation
Of money rates was shown. although
offerings OF time funds were more~lib-
eral. The strength of British exchange
was attributed to purchases of sterling
in this market to meet maturing pay
ments for British and French accots1ts
Trading in bonds was again only mod
crate, but the trend was Enthusiastically
upward, many speculative issues par
ticipating with representative offer
ings. All the Liberty and Victory
quotations cosed at gains. Total sales
par value s14.375,0 600. Old U. S. bonds
were unchanged on call.

IRISH WAIT FOR
VALERA TO SPEAK
Proclamation by Irish president" Is
Expected Soon.
(By Associates Press)

DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-Two rumors
spread rapidly through Dublin this
evening-one that a manifesto to the
Irish people would be issued by
Eamonn de Valera tonight, the other,
that de Valera had come to Dublin.
Confirmation of neither could be OBJ
tanned in quarters usually well in
formed on Sim Fem affairs. 1t is
some message will be Forthcoming
from de Valera in a day or two.
The public may never know how de
Valera managed to reach Ireland 1t
is believed that the means by which
he landed in Ireland will be kept a
close secret as other Sim Fem lead
ers absent from the country may find
1t necessary to utilize the same plan.
With the exception of one member of
the Dali Ireann, who had previously
made a short visit to his native land,
it is not believed that the others re-
siding in the United States will come
to ireland in the near future
De Valera's presence in Ireland has
been taken generally to- mean a
marked acceleration of the efforts to
find basis of peace acceptable to
both sides. Since his arrival, the
but one may be arranged soon. 1t is
reported in what is considered relia-
BILE circles that orders have been re-
ceived from London forbidding the
crown forces to arrest de Valera.
The tension prevailing in Dublin
before Christmas has greatly relaxed.

TARIFF BILL UP
in CONFERENCE
Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill May
Be Buried by Penrose in
Committee.
fBy Associated Press).

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff bill will be taken
UP tomorrow by the senate finance
committee at a meeting called by
Senator Penrose, its chairman, on his
return today TO the capitol after an
absence of more than a year.
The Pennsylvania senator was very
reticent but gave every indication of
a desire to bury in committee the
Fordney bill which has passed the
house. The other senate leaders pre-
dicted Senator Penrose would exert
his influence, generally admitted as
great, to keep the measure from be-
ing returned to the senate at this ses-
sion.
Senator Penrose on his return to
the capitol showed the effects Of his
long iAness, although he apparently
felt fit to launch into the exacting
duties of the committee. He arrived
at the doors of the senate chamber in
a wheel chair but walked to his seat
although his step was unsteady and
his six feet four inches of height was
slightly stopped. once seated, he did
not rise to respond to the greetings
OF senators as they gathered arorud
him.
There were other indications aside
from the call of the committee meet
ing that Senator Penrose was actual
ly back lin the harness and expected
to be in frequent attendance at senate
sessions. Carpenters constructed run
ways over rough spots in the subway
connecting the senate office building
and the capitol to make passage of his
wheel chair more easy.
During HIS first day at the capitol,
the senator introduced several bills
and held conferences with half a
dozen senators. One of the bills pro-
posed by Mr. Penrose would set aside
Armistice day as a national holiday
and another would direct the bringing
back from the battlefields of France
of the body of an unidentified soldier
for burial with proper ceremonies in
Arlington National Cemetery,
