To Rehabilitate
 Marquesas Islanders

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 2.3. - The French administration of the Mar quesas islands is to attempt to re- habilitate the inhabitants and to e1e- vate them morally and materially, largely as the result of the visit of the Bayard Dominick scientific expe- dition to the group two years ago un- der the auspices of the Bishop Mu- scum of Honolulu, according to a let ter received by Dr. E. s. Handy, eth nologist on the museum staff, from G.. de Poyen Bel1eisle, the administra- tor.
 Dr. and Mrs. Handy spent a year in the Marquesas investigating the civ ilization, culture and characteristics of the inhabitants as a part of the museums efforts to trace the origin of the Po1ynesian race.
 The administrators principal pur- pose is to develop commercial oppor- tunities for the natives and to estab- fish schools, the letter said. The com mercial development depends upon direct steamship connections between San Francisco and the Marquesas, which have been the scene of much of the popular literature purporting to portray the languid life of the South Seas. Such connections would ena- ble the natives Do eliminate the mid dle-men at Tahiti, who have reaped enormous profits from the efforts of the Marquesans, Dr. Handy said.

Bigger and better than ever, as be- fits g. bigger and better Bridgeport. the new city directory for 1922 is now out. and it contains mine of Information and a vast fund of hu- nor.

 The shortest name in the directory, or one of the shortest. is that of Vic tor Elk, janitor of the City Savings Czvornyek, John Zmijewski, and Jos- eph Zadravesz, here given because they are easy to spell and easy to pronounce.
 Of Priests, Parsons and Bishops there are no end and there is even Cardinale, whose address is given as the Hillside Home. Despite this fact, however, there are only five people in Bridgeport who are Good, and only one Churchman, as against seven who are Law1ess
 Quite a few are Barley and not one is Late. Pride may go before a Fall. but not in the city directory, which lists one of each. There is said to be a Roland for every Oliver but in this city the Divers seem to have the best of it by a score of 15 to 3. For Rob-

To the A Electric Manufacturing company goes the honor leading all names in the city directory. Nelson Aaron, a salesman, comes second. John A. zysk winds up the list.

CALLED KIDNAPER,
 KILLED BY A MOB
Alexander Stewart, Accused In Mistake, Lynched By Glasgow Citizens.

London. Sept. 23.-The fal1ibility Of mob law was brought out in court at the trial of several persons charged with causing the death of Alexander Stewart, who recently was lynched in Glasgow. It has now been proved that the man was actuated by the kindliest motives and was trying to give happiness to a little boy when he was taken for a kidnaper and killed.
 Stewart, 3s years old, a ships off cer, returned to the Clyde after a long voyage and went to his sisters home for a visit. The family was absent, but he found a boy of five at home whom he knew his sister had adopted. He embraced the lad heart fly and they became friends Then he took the boy for a street car ride.
 The boy was shabbily dressed, but was as happy as boy Of that age could be. He shouted from a tram to a companion and Stewart tried to quiet him. A woman recognized the well dressed. of Kidnapping the child.
 Stewart, embarrassed, tried to ex- plain his identity, but, failing, asked the woman to take charge of the boy and hastily left the car in order to avoid a scene. Some persons took up the cry of "Kidnaper!" and an in furiated crowd gave chase. Stewart, alarmed, attempted to run. The crowd passed the word that he had been abusing children, finally over- took him and c1ubbed him to death.
 Several arrests followed. At the trial Stewards sister explained that they had correSponded about the boy and that Stewart wrote that he would love and try to make the boy happy. Thus it was dramatically proved in court that Stewart was doing the act of a good Samaritan and was slain for it.

 Tariff Big Issue.
 Free entry of sugar alone means s10,000,000 in a single season to the islands. But the islands produce one pr oduct indispensable to America Manila hemp. The United States also takes 95 per cent of the coconut oil, and is expected to buy 100.0 900 tons Of this product this year. having bought 52,400 tons out of the 52.600 tons produced and exported during the first half of the year. America sells the islands in a year, but the balance of trade is in favor of the Philip pines.

FILIPINOS WANT DUTY PUT. ON
 U. s. GOODS
Would Demonstrate Econo- mic Independence to Pave Way to Nationalism.

Manila, Sept. 23-The Filipino press IS Seethtng over the question Of free trade with the United States, which was established by the Payne-Aldrich tar1n and has resulted in the islands marketing about 75 per cent. of their products in America. while the em- bro1dery industry, sixth among the leading experts, depends entirely on the American market. Of Manila hemp the United States takes, in value, 75 per cent. and in quantity 50 per cent.
 Judge Juan Sumulong leader of the Democratic party, has suggested that the Philippines should be given a chance to prove their economic in- dependence as a basis for their po- litical independence; and as he thinks the tariff ought to be applied to American goods. as it is to foreign goods, or free trade established with all the world.
 Papers Back Idea.
 El Debate a Filipino morning pa- per published in dialect and Spanish, and the Herald, Filipino paper pub lished in dia1et and English. both gladly back the proposal, El Debate saying: fin exchange for sugar. to- bacco, coconut oil and Manila hemp, which we place on the American market, --.merica floods our country with all kinds of manufactured artt- cles, reserving to herself a sort of monopoly in our commerce to the advantage of her interests. We are without any power to choose what is best for us economic everything America wants to place on our markets
