meetings under the leadership OF
Miss Matte e. Perry at the old

ing, but her congregation would

Six prominent American negroes

Robert Church, of Memphis, as
chairman! Cornelius Richardson. of
Richmond, Ind, as vice chairman;

starvation is said to be. threatening
some Of the natives, following the
virtual demolition Of the bay-rum
industry by American prohibition,
The production and export Of bay
rum has always been the prin.

Islands Population.
Most of the population Of the
islands are negroes. or negro ex-
traction. Latest census figures re-
ported the population consisting of
approximately $1,000 negroes, 5000
mixed, 400 Japanese, Chinese and
Orientals. and only 1900 whites.
The commission will study labor

to the possibility Of establishing in
dustries there to offset the loss of
the bay rum industry.
1t is probable that six to eight
weeks will be consumed in the
investigation. A report will be
made to Secretary Davis, who in
turn will make 1t the basis for
recommendations to Congress.
