charged with robbing registered packages
of more than $18,000. One $1,000
liberty bond and cash to the amount
of $17,000 was found concealed

mounted to figures far in excess
of his salary, which was $150
r per month, according to inspectors
who made -the arrest. One package
containing $10,000, shipped from a

JAPANESE SHOW INCREASE.
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.

! 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. Nov. 16.?Three men alleged
to have accompanied Marie Ramey
and Lillian Thompson, two actresses
whose bodies were found in

names of the'prisoners.

supplied to police woman Anna
Louches, who told her story to Chief
of Police Fitz-Morris. and was assigned
to assist in the case. The po- j
lice believe that the men had accomplices
and are endeavoring to locate
other suspects.
After questioning by the police the |
men under arrest are said to have j
| admitted that they accompanied the;
two women on the night before their \
death.
William Tarris, a chauffeur who j
surrendered to the police, told them j
he drove the women and two men on j
a joy ride Saturday night and that
when the women became boisterous
they were taken taken to Grant Park
' and thrown out of the machine.
