Constitute 42.7 Per Cent, of the Ha\vaiian Population. Washington, Nov. 16.?The Japanese population of Hawaii was announced today by the census bureau as 109,269 out of a total population of 255,512. The Japanese constitute 42.7 per cent.of the 1920 population.. The actual increase of Japanese on the island during the past decade was 29,594 per cent, as against a per cent, gain of 30.4 per cent, made during the 10 -years 1900-10. The census bureau's figures showed that during the past three decades the Japanese population of the island had increased more rapidly than the number of white inhabitants. In 1900 39.7 per cent, of the island's population was Japanese, in 1910 the percentage was 41.5, and this year it is 42.7 per cent. II .? i President is Honored.

PAYORS IX( IIKAvSIXG IMT. i ! Proposed Change Would Give South Carolina Another Congressman. Washington, Nov. 10.?Representative Isaac Seigel, of Xew York, the chairman of the census committee of the house, announced today that he advocates increasing the population of congressional districts unit to 220.000 in the reapportionment of the house of representatives under the 1920 census. If the suggestion of Chairman Seigel is adopted and there is no special reduction of southern representation, South Carolina will elect two 1 years from now one more member of congress than she elected this month. With the first district unit of 211,000 the Palmetto state has seven rep resentatives, but with a unit of 220,000, divided into the state's total population of 1,683,000 under the 1920 census, she would have seven districts and a fraction exceeding half of another. The practice is to allow one representative for each unit and each major fraction thereof. The Seigel proposition would necessitate increasing the size of the house by fifty members. There is no doubt it will be fought on that ground as the house is already so numerous as to be unwieldy. It is the idea of some of the Republican leaders that this problem could be solved by invok_ ing the fourteenth and fifteenth amendment and reducing southern representation in proportion to population actually voting. HELD IX MYSTERY CASK. Three Men Arrested in Connection j With Dead Women. Chicago.
