SOUTH SEA LIFE
LOSING ROMANCE
Modern Advancement Is RgpOn-
sible for This, Says EthnOIOgiSt

Honolulu. T, H.. Dec. lb.-The
glamor. romance and. adventure OF
the South Seas are disappearing be-
fore tho spread OF modern methods OF
industry, education and living, ae-
cording to j. T.. G.. stokes, ethnolo-
glst attached to the Bishop Museum
here, who has returned from a two
year tour of the Austral islands In
connection with the museum's en-
deavor to establish the origin of the
Polynesian race.
Even Rapa-the pindot island
which became famous as d place
where the men were fed by women
and lolled around ltstessly on a
stretch of coral strand under shade
giving palm trees-is beginning to
show the marks of civilization, de-
spite the fact that the ratio of In
habitants continues to approximate
four women to one man, Stokes said.
There are only 20 axpayers-men
between the ages of 21 and Bs--on
the island The rest of the 236 in
habitants are women, young boys and
old men.
"AIl of the work except the fish
ing is done by the women, who are
comcly sturdy. exceedingly tall, mus
cular and hospitable," Stokes said.
THE women who first drew attention
to Rapa through stories that the
women fed the men, apparently visit
ed tho island during a festival. when
the women fed the men in fun The
women, however, do perform all
agricultural work.
Despite the heavy ratio Of women
to men, no man has more than one
official WIFE The women are none
too willing to marry the men ofRapa.

WOMEN
MAKE CHARGE

MATAWAN, Jan. 6-Information
obtainable here today is that the two
women, Angelina Grill and Kather-
inc Citilino, who were assaulted by
Jacob Goldstein and Samuel Dam
esek of Freehold, after being forced
from a motor car in which the men
Lad offered to take them to Mata-
wan on December IS, are residents
CT Perth Amboy and not this bor-
ough, as stated yesterday. 1t has
been learned from the police that
the m reside at 331 Prospect
street, Perth Amboy.
Further investigation into the af-
fair brings out the fact that Gold
stein comes from one of the best
families in Freehold and is a close
friend of Judge r. Wv. Lawrence,
before whom it is said he will lie
placed for trial If an indictment is
found against him by the grand jury.
Both Goldstein and Damesek
hape been released under $500 bail,
which has been furnished by the
fathers of the young men. IL is un-
derstood that Goldstein will attempt
to prove an alibi, but this is ques-
of this place, who says that the Grill
woman who is sixteen years old and
married, picked him out of three
hundred people at the Matawan rail-
,cad station on Monday as the man
who had assaulted her.
In brief. tn centers about
the fact that the ONE on De-
ccmber IS missed their train from
Freehold, and upon the offer of the
two men accepted their invitation
to be driven to Matawan in their
automobile. When about thee miles
from Freehold the men drove the
car alonog a country road and at
the point of a revolver forced the
women to leave the car and assaulted
one of them and took the money
from the other. They then jumped
in the car and road away leaving the
women stranded along the road side.
