Only a Few People Inhabit It, and It Is Located 2,000 Miles from the Mainland--Has an Extinct Volcano and a Burial -The Legend of Its Settlement. One of the most mysterious islands in the Pacific Ocean is In latituda 27 south and longitude 109 degrees west, and situated about 2,000 miles from nearest mainland. The island is almost uninhabited to-day, but centuries ago it was peopled with a strange race that left a few statues and a hieroglyphics.

There is a legend that the first settlers of the island came in two their King, Hotu Metua, which means prolific father. in the one and their Queen in the other; that they found this island which they ed "Te Pito Fenua," meaning the land in the middle of the sea, and that here they settled and made their home. The legend falls to tell, however, from whence these people came. On the island today there are perhaps 100 of the descendants of Hotu Metua, and they are rapidly diminishing in The people have deterorated in physique as well as in numbers, and as one looks at the native to-day it is hard to credit the almost herculean labors of his ancestors. One of the attractions which the island has to-day for the student of the past, are the statues of great size which lie scattered in various parts of the island.

They range from 15 to 20 feet in height, but one, supposed to have been erected in honor of a quondom king, rises high above its fellows to the almost colossal height of 34 feet. These huge erections, consisting only of head and trunk, are of enormous weight. Terminating at the hips, the arms lie close to the side, with the hands in. low relief clasping, the waist, while the head is cut off flat to allow of a crown being placed. They are made of the gray compact lava, trachyte, found in the crater of the 'extinct volcano Otu-iti, where unfinished cuttings may yet be seen.

The crowns are made of tufa, a soft, red clayey mixture, which looks not unlike sealing wax lies on the ground. The tufa is only found in the crater of Terano Hau, another extinct volcano some twelve miles from Otu1tt. The crowns themselves are slightly truncated, In some cases almost cylindrical. Another pecullar reminder of the past on the Island is a curlous burying place on a terrace sloping toward the sea, which Is made of rolled seastone, carefully fitted together. Above it rises the platforms on which the small Images are placed.

These platforms are made of massive unhewn placed with great exactness. On stones, are numerous prostrate 1m- the platforms ages and small low pillars, the latter apparently used as sacrificial altars, since charred bones have been found near them. It would appear that, a sort of stone grave having been made, the deceased was placed Inside, and Chief with a living companion, as in some tombs more than one set of bones have been found. The top covering, weighing in some cases nearly a ton, was then placed, and at a later date the huge image was hoisted into position, probably to the accompaniment of sacrifices intended to propitiate the spirit of the departed. In another part of the island are to be found some fifty stone huts of great age, evidently built as places of shelter for use during the period of volcanic eruptions.

The crater Otu-Iti is situated on that part island farthest from these stone and It is evident from the soil of huts, island that eruptions were frequent in centurles. These huts are all -gone in shape with a low entrance about square two feet wide, and in each is found a sort of recess, which, It is supposed, was the receptacle of the family treasures. And lastly there are the hieroglyphics chiselled on the faces of the tombs and on the crater' walls--line upon line of curlously carved shapes and symbols, to which, alas! there is no key. The shape of a fish appears most constantly, and coupling this with the conspicuous sea face of the papooka, It may be that this people, wafted across the ocean to their Island home, held sacred some finny monster of the deep. Doubtless the vell would be.

lifted from many a mystery which surrounds the people of the Andes, if one could but read the tales written on the tablets of stone. These carvings of Rapa Nut bear a remarkable resemblance to those of the Aymara, an cient race of Peru. Two Hurt Falling Down Stairs. Two men living in Greenpoint were severely injured by falling down fights of stairs yesterday. one most seriously hurt was Patrick Coughlin, 50 years old, of 562 Gra- do WARRANTS ISSUED FOR THEATRE MANAGERS MESHES.

WANT ACTION ON LOOP AND NO MORE HEARINGS 28TH WARD TAXAPYERS APPEAL TO ALEXANDER E. ORR TO TAKE A HAND, Difficulties at Manhattan End of Bridge--Mothers Anxiously Await Children at Home, Fearing Accidents--Delay Is Driving Brooklynites to the Shores of New Jersey, The Twenty-eighth Ward Taxpayers' Protective Association, opposed to any more hearings or further delay in regard to the elevated loop, has sent the following letter to Alexander 10. Orr, Chairman of the Rapid Transit Commission, through Jared J. Chambers, President of the association: "Dear Bir: The Williamsburgh Bridge, costing over $30,000,000, la not used for more than one-half its capacity, although the elevated tracks are laid and ready for bustness. "Delancey street.

was widened 150 feet for. the Williamsburgh Bridge elevated service, and the cost of the widening was paid by the city, "The Williamsburgh Bridge crush is biecoming and more Intolerable every day, especially at the Manhattan end, not only during the rush hours, but up to 12 o'clock at night, terrible scenes occur, "Sir, it you think this EXAggeration take trip to that point and see for yourself, time this matter comes up for A hearing, you will find the City Club, the East Bide landlords and the B. R. T. haters.

"Every work day in the year, thousands and thousands of men, women, boys and girls have to push and push and at times fight, especially during rush hours, in leaving for 1 Brooklyn. "Many of the parents of the young women are every day, fearing accidents to those dear to them, and at night many of the young women relate to their parents the terrible things they have to go through to get home. In it a wonder 80 many peohave left our borough to take up their ple residence in New Jersey? "If we had the elevated service over the Williamsburgh Bridge, thousands that now use the trolley cars would take the elevated trains, thus distributing the mode of transportation, and give more room on the trolley cars. "Thousands of persons who live and who would continue to live on the East Side, would welcome the elevated service, for It would quicker and -better transit for them visiting their friends and relatives in Brooklyn and vice versa. "The hearings should stop; we have had already too many hearings; we want no more delays; it is a wonder that we have not had some terrible accident before this.

"The way Mr. Rice, the engineer, has the loop matter up to handled the present, leaves no room for doubt that he 19 opposed to the loop and Incidentally the Interests of the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and another engineer would solve this problem quicker "The two and betterie North River are nearing completion, and both of them ahead of time, and the procession of people leaving for Jersey will continue until we have an emphatic declaration that the Stevenson loop is a certainty. "Mr. Orr, you a resident of New York City, living in the Borough of Brooklyn, and we belleve you have the interest of our great city at heart, then take a Arm and determined stand for the loop and the right. "When interests conflict, the lesser should yield which benefits the greatest number.

"Talk about Injunctions, why, we will have injunctions raised against the subway loop connect the bridges Just as much as the elevated loop. "On behalf of the citizens of the Twenty-eighth Ward and the oldest taxpayers' organization in our borough, i. the Twenty-eighth Ward Taxpayers' Protective Association, I want to state that we are opposed to any more hearings, and that we are unanimously in favor of the plan known as the Stevenson Loop. "The crisis in Brooklyn's, career can be avoided by immedlate action favoring the elevated loop." OBITUARY. Frederick F.

WORST ECZEMA DOCTORS EVER SAW Spread Rapidly Over Body- Limbs and Arms. Had to Be Bandaged and Scalp Looked Dreadful Suffered Untold Misery for Three Years- Better in Two Months MARVELOUS CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he WAS nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us and some from larger places, but no one helped ed him a particle.

The eczema WAS something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; 'his scalp was just dreadful. I used many kinds of patent medicines before trying the Cuticura Remedies, all to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura.

At last I consented, when my boy WAS three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time, and suffering untold misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedica; the Cuticura Soap helped as well 88 the Ointment. He was better in two months; in six months be was well; but I gave him the Cuticura Resolvent one year, using twelve bottles, I think, -and always used the Cuticura Soap for bathing, and do now 8 good deal.

Anderson Ventured on to a Broken Limb While After Chestnuts. After breaking his leg by falling from a chestnut tree in Rosedale, L. William Anderson was brought to East New York on a trolley car and is now in the Kings County Hospital. Anderson 'is 18 years old and lives at 778 Henry street. With a friend named Thomas Doane, of 697 Henry street, he started out early yesterday morning, bags in hand, with the intention of filling them with the luscious nuts.

The young men did very well and in the early afternoon ha'd their bags nearly full.

THE TABERNACLE ORGAN. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Times: SIR: I am not writing this protest for publication, though I am perfectly willing to have' anything I say- published, and if you think the needs demand it you do are at liberty to use these facts. But desire to enter a quiet protest to the editorial comment appended to my communication in last night's Times. It is unfair, I claim, to publish such a comment in connection with my letter without previously giving me a chance to explain or bring satisfactory proof that my position as stated in the letter was based upon actual facts, and not upon merely my own personal opinion.

Allow me to ask you one question. In all fairness, why did you not instruct your representative in Greenpoint to consult with some other member of the Official Board than the one from whom he originally obtained his information? I have always considered the Times a newspaper of considerable fairness; but in this matter there appears to be not a little bias. Had your representative in Greenpoint taken the trouble to interview the Secretary of the Board of Trustees or the Secretary of the Official Board, either one of these Individuals would have been able to have given an authoritative statement of not merely their own Individual opinions, but the actual facts as drawn from the examination of the minutes of the Official Board. Now, Mr. Editor, allow me again to assert in the strongest language which a minister may be allowed to use that the statement of this special trustee whom your representative quotes or any other trustee or individual, to the effect that the Official Board has ever adopted a motion, or resolution Informing Mr.

Fuller that he must discontinue the 118A of the organ of the Tabernacle M. E. Church 19 without any foundation whatsd ever, and 19 unsupported by the facts as shown by the official journal of the church board. Yours LINCOLN H. CASWELL, Tabernacle Study, Manhattan avenue, 0c- tober 13, 1906.

SWANSTRO TO COLER HURRY LIVINGSTON ST. EX-BOROUGH PRESIDENT CALLS DOWN PRESENT OFFICIAL FOR SLOW WORK. Says Months and Months Have. Gone by With Nothing: Doing--The Two, Exchanged' Letters-Coler Puts Part of It Up to Estimate Board -Filled Cellars Also Blamed. J.

Edward Swanstrom, ex-Borough Prestdent, has taken Borough President Coler to task for not hurrying the completion of Livingston street, so as to relieve congested trolley and pedestrian traffic in Fulton street. The Rapid Transit League, of which Mr. Swanstrom is President, urges Mr. Coler to do something to finish the thoroughfare. He suggests, that if suitable terms could not be arranged that the city lay tracks and rent them.

Mr. Coler, in his answer, states that he has for weeks been urging the Board of Estimate to act on the Livingston street fran; chise, and action, has been delayed. Until the filling cellars has settled the street cannot be paved. Mr. letter.

follows: Relief for. the. rallroad congestion on Fulton street, Brooklyn, has become' a question scarcely less grave than that of the Brooklyn Bridge. That it must eventually reach an acute point has been. recognized for many years, and the consequent widenIng of Livingston street, as a remedy, 1s the result of long-continued agitation.

When, a year ago, the Livingston Street Commission was appointed, of which I was chairman, every possible effort was made' to expedite matters. Barely three months were consumed in making the awards, and in January last, the demolition of, the buildings was begun. Yet all this haste was valueless, for the street still fles in chaotic condition and month after month has gone by with no progress made. Our appeal to the Board of Estimate is not that any particular Interest shall be favored other. than the traveling public, but that the board, by virtue of its authority and influence, shall find means to produce definite results as quickly as the formalities may, permit, If suitable terms, cannot be, agreed upon with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, then let the city, itself, lay the tracks and rent them to the carrying corporations; but whatever course is adopted.

let is be done quickly. Eight lines of cars now feed into Fulton street at, or above Flatbush avenue, and so closely do they run that to stop ony one car is to stop the entire line for blocks. The cars creep along, and as It is impossible to run enough on any separate line without crowding out some other line, they are crowded to their utmost capacity, frequentIly taking thirty minutes or more to cover distance that can be made in five. Borough President Coler's letter to' Mr. Swanstrom follows: DEAR SIR: I have your letter of October 11 relative to the widening of Livingston street.

With regard to the delay in completing the Improvement, just let me say this: When the buildings were removed the cellar excavations remained and these had to be filled in. To pave over this All while it was. new would simply mean a waste of good pavement. It is regrettable but necessary, that we wait until the All settles before putting a pavement on the street. As to the transportation aspect of the matter, I have only to say this: For months I have been trying to get the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to take action on the Livingston street The only clause relative to the franchise which I submitted to the Board is the one to which the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company Itself makes no objection in its recent letter.

to the Board that providing for A non-exclusive franchise. This clause 1s one that seems to be extremely important, and I do not believe the city should ever grant a franchise for the exclusive use of this street for nay purpose to any corporation hereafter. Yesterday morning, at a meeting of the Board, I moved that the Board go Into committee of the whole for the purpose of considering Brooklyn franchises, but my motion was not adopted. I shall do all that I can to put Livingston street to the use for which it was originally intended, as I understand it. CAR AND WAGON COLLIDE.
