REPORTS VERIFIED
Stories of Prehistoric HaWa;ians Re ported Accurately According To Testimony of Ethnologist.

Honolulu, T. H., July 7.-Stories told by native Hawaiians of footprints in the lava flows on the slopes of the extinct volcano of Haleakala, House of the Sun on the island of Maui, which would indicate that the island was inhabited centuries ago when the volcano was still active. have been verified by K. F. Emory, of the Bish- op Museum who investigated the re- ports on behalf of the institution.
 Emory. who Is assistant ethnologist at the museum, originally decided that the prints had been made by na tives fleeing before the last flow of lava down Haleakala, when the lava still was hot and plastic. Further in- vestigation showed that the prints could not have been made by persons who had been running, as the toes were not more deeply impressed than the heels.
 Scientists here are puzzled over the prints, which range in size from four inches long, two inches wide at the toes and an inch at the heel; to ten inches long, four inches wide at the toes and three inches wide at the heels. The toes in the prints are na- tural in size, as is the curve of the foot, Emory said.
