The way is by no means clear yet
for an appeal of the case of Nose Me-
heula VS.. the Pioneer Mill Company to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. c. w. Ashford and J. L. Coke
are about to file in the Second Circuit
Court a motion to dissolve the restrain
ing order issued by Judge Kepoikai, to
restrain Meheula from taking possess
sion of the property involved, until an
appeal can be taken. The order was
signed by Kepoikai in Honolulu and
one of the grounds of the motioG to
dissolve it is that he has no jurisdic-
tion to sign such an order outside of
the Second Circuit.
The order was signed in a proceed

Art Loan
Exhibit
Extended
IN DIFFERENCE TO MANY RE-
BENEFIT WILL CONTINUE OPEN
Continued on page five.)

SO great a success has the Art Loan
Exhibition been that in response to
numerous requests, the management,
after a hurried meeting at noon today
decided to keep it open from two o'clock
until ten tomorrow and from two until
five on Sunday, instead of closing at
10 o'clock tonight as had at first been
determined.
The exhibition, which, as is well
known, is for the support of the Free
Kindergarten, is being held in the
Levers and Cooke block on King street
and there this morning and afternoon,
all Honolulu locked for lunch. A splen-
did lunch was served though indeed,
the most simple viands would have
tasted like dellcacies when so prettily
served by the young ladies who acted
as amateur Mattresses. Dinner will
be served again this evening.
Tomorrow afternoon, only ice cream
and cake will be served and on Sun
day afternoon only the exhibition will
be open.
The society theatrical entertainment
proved a hit last night and will doubt
less prove so again tonight. 1t is
bright and very clever.
From until this afternoon was
school children's time and the place
was crowded at the opening Of tho
hour by school children and teachers
who We're granted a special rate.
The magnificent exhibits i'm the art
collection continue to attract more and
more attention and all agree that the
show is one of the best that Honolulu
has ever seen.

Negotiations have been begun for
big trade in government lands Of the
district of Hilo. But the government
and the other parties to the proposed
deal, the Waiakea Mill Company, are
not very near an agreement. There
is a difference of about $950,000 be-
tween the valuation which the govern
ment places on the land and the figure
which the company thinks it should
pay. The company wants to buy 10000
acres of cane land which it now has
under lease, for IS per acre, while the
government values it at $1OO per acre.
The Waiakea company has $4,000
acres of land under lease from the gov
ernment. Much of it. of course, is
rocky or mountain land and is of no
use, but large area is devoted to the
production of cane. The land also in
cludes a lot of the Hilo water front, and
the governments efforts to acquire this
has led to the present negotiations The
lease expires in 1918 and is for $4,000 per

heula had finally won an ejectment
suit against Pioneer and was about to
take possession of the property, when
the restraining order was issued and
papers were sent to Washington to Sc
cure a writ of error and appeal the
case.
The motion to dissolve the order is
based upon numerous grounds, among
the most important being a claim that
the property involved is not worth $5,-
600 and that therefore no appeal is al
lowable from the Supreme Court of
Hawaii. The affidavit of Meheula and
also of Ashford, sets forth that up to
the present year the assessed value
was $3.50 and that it is 5000 now, and
that the value is less than 81 900, in

POWERS OF
SUPERVISORS
- " Al AFFIRMED

The Supreme Court this afternoon
gave a decision of far-reaching impor-
tance, constituting the County Act and
laying down the law as to ordinances
of supervisors. The decision of the
court, written by Chief Justice Frear,
defines the powers of the supervisors
in the making or imposing of penalties
for violations of ordinances. 1t grants
the petition for writ of mandamus
to compel District Magistrate Whitney
to take jurisdiction of the ordinance
case regarding which the proceeding
was begun thus reversing the decision
of Whitney that he had no jurisdiction.
Justice Hartwell wrote a concurring
opinion. The syllabus sets forth the
following propositions:

A DISCUSSION ON
FEMININE GOSSIP.

The feminine retort to the question
"Why do women like to gossip?" would
probably be, "The men are as bad as
the women" This may be true in some
instances, but it does not answer the
query. 1t is likely enough that the ma
jority of ladies might readily admit a
fondness for gossip, but they might not
be quite so ready with a reason for that
fondness.
Yet if they took notice and analysed
their feelings a little a variety of rea-
sons might easily be discovered which
would explain liking for gossip.
Probably women gossip chiefly be-
cause of their intense curiosity on do
nestle, social and kindred topics. A
woman's interest is in the home, and
the average feminine person never fails
to realize this. She does not care a pin
for politics, but she will chat about do
nestle joys and troubles by the hour.
Women like to gossip because they
like news, especially local news. A
woman's favorite paper is usually the
local paper. But there is plenty of
news which is never printed and which
is only circulated privately-by gossip.
Local dances, engagements, weddings,
christenings, funerals and bankruptcies
generally receive full discussion. Then
there is the approximate cost of Mrs.
Browns new costume, Mrs. Jones' new
bonnet and Mrs. Smiths new suit of
furniture to be debated and considered.
The secret of the charm which gos-
sip holds for many women lies, of
course in the almost universal craving
e., T-rsl, 1y1,s nj
social intimacy are the chief things
which make life worth living to the or
binary person. Women perhaps do not
really grasp this any more than men,
but they act as though they did.
Men are generally more reserved than
women. The ladies are less cautious
than the opposite sex. They like to
have plenty of friends and to converse
with them often. They can also appar-
emily love their enemies with greater
ease and skill than mere men. The
liking which some women exhibit for
gossip is vague enough. In other in
stances it is more solid and methodfcal.
Gossip is merely a charming pastime
with some folk. With others it is a
deliberate, profitable, yet withal pleas
ant, business.
The wife of certain successful pri-
vate detective. is said by her husband
to be of great assistance to him in his
work. The neighborhood in which he
lives is almost wholly ignorant of his
profession, though it is chiefly prac-
ticed in the district.
His wife is an inveterate but cute
gossip. In conversation she knows how
to relate a considerable amount of un-
important matter, while receiving val
liable secrets in exchange. These Sc
crets are speedily impaired to her hus-
band, who often finds them handy in
his detective work. Those for which
he has no immediate use are recorded
in books kept for the purpose, in case
they may happen to be useful at any
future time.
