Japs Swarming In Hawaii.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 22, 1913:
They, with Chinese and Koreans, Make Bulk of Population.
    WASHINGTON, June 21.— More than half of the population of Hawaii is composed of Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans, according to statistics of the Thirteenth Census not heretofore made public. Of the total population of 191,909 the Japanese numbered 79,675, or 41.5 per cent. Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans combined numbered 105,882 or 55.2 per cent. From 1900 to 1910 the Japanese increased 52.8 per cent.; the Chinese decreased 15.9 per cent.
    Caucasians in the Hawaiian Islands numbered 44,048, being 22.9 per cent. of the total population. Of these 22,301 were Portuguese, 4,990 Porto Rican, 1,990 Spanish, and 14,867 of other Caucasian descent. Pure Hawaiians numbered 26,041, a decrease of 12.6 per cent. in the ten years. Of the Japanese males 21 years old or more, numbering 41,718, only 11 had become naturalized. Of the foreign-born male population of Hawaii, 21 years or older, 91.9 per cent. were Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
    More than half of the entire population cannot speak English, the highest portion being Korean, 81.7 per cent., and only slightly lower among the Japanese, 79 per cent.
    Statistics of occupation and the ownership of homes are not included in the report.
