Waikiki PROPERTY SUIT

An injunction has been issued by
the Circuit Court restraining +. c.
Macfarlane from disposing, of his
lease of the Bishop Estate property
at Waikiki, now occupied by w. w.
Dimond. 1t is understood that Mr..
Dimond turned over his. unexpired
lease, together with his prior right to
release. to Macfarlane in considera-
ton of a promise of sub-lease of Il
portion of the property for a beach
residence. The amount of the rental
and the boundaries were both agreed
upon.
Mr.. Macfarlane was to use the bal
ance of the property for his hotel
scheme. while Mr.. Dimond was to
utilize his share for a residence, al
though the leases were to be theysame
in substance. Macfarlane has his
lease from the Bishop Estate, so Mr.
Dimond is in the cold until the Court
settles the question, which will prop
ably not be until Mr.. Macfarlane re-
turns from the Coast.

Lord Nathaniel Mayer de Rothschild,
whose brain directs the tremendous affairs
OF tho powerful house of the Rothschlds in
London, was created a peer In 1885 at the
request of Gladstone. For three genera
lions this family OF Jews has shown the
world that the descendants of the patri-
archs are the ablest financlers on the face
OF the earth Lord Rothschid's grand
father founded the London houae at the
beginning Of the century, and his son and
grandson have succeeded to the headship
Of the business bringing to it all the con-
summate commercial wisdom Of the grand
sire. The London establishment is the CEN
ter OF the Rothschid activities in all OF
Europe. The stupendous heights of wealth
which he has reached through inheritance
and acquisition have not turned the head of
the English lord who is most simple la his
manners and everyday methods of life But
ne mas one desire which he gratfies fully
and that desire, oddly enough, is an aDsu-
lutte opposi ion 10 the tradition OF his race
that Tor centuries has rigidiy excluded the
Jews from development in the arts OF
painting. sculpture and architecture For
among the pictures In his houses at Trin4
Park and IN Piccadilly are three master.
pieces of Gainsborough and two OF SIR
Joshua Reynolds. besides many other
treasures Of art that are as rare as the
heart OF the most fastidi0us collector could
possibly desire.

DR. Theodor Herzl is a man who sprang
into fame in a single day by making the
announcement that Zion must be restored
and that the holy land must be returned to
the race 10 which Moses gave it. Dr. Herzl
proposes the rehabilitation of the Jewish
state, the resurrection OF the old glores OF
Israel aud Judah In one solid nation, hay-
ing the old site for it's abode The proposal
has been fercely fought by many eminent
Jews who, in their prosperity among Other
peoples, have no desire to go back to the
land that was desolated by Rome But Herzl
does not appeal to these His wish is to
rebound his nation with remnant" AS
did Ezra when he rebuilt the wallis o. tue
holy city, Let those Jews who wish to re-
main In Babylon remain - cries the enthu-
sastic Zionist. Let us return 10 Iuda-
ism first,' he continues. "and then 10 the
land Herzls plan is to seruft from lnc
sultan the privilege Of using Palestine as a
permanent home for the Jewish peopie
The money is 10 be raised In Europe ana
America. and the nation is to bond itself
to pay the interest. Al Palestine needs IS
labor to make il a garden. It's productiv-
ny is greater than that OF California in
proportion to it's size. TIE plan has good
