To Study
Procedure
OF Courts
CLASS OF KAMEHAMEHA PUPILS
WATCHING ANNE LOKE's TRIAL.
THIS AFTERNOON.

A class of fifteen Kamehamehl SChoOa
students invaded Judge De Bolts court
this afternoon. They are to write es-
says on the Conduct of Court, and
are watching the proceedings of the
case of the Territory against Anne
LoSe, charged with embezzlement. AS
a practical lesson in court procedure
they were allowed to visit the court.
and they will give their Impressions in
the form of essays, as a part of their
class work.
Anne Loke is being defended by a
G. Kaulukou and prosecuted by Deputy
Attorney General Fleming. The case
is being hard fought, and the young
men will probably have chance to
learn a good deal about court proce-
dure by their afternoons watch of the
proceedings. The case is likely to
go to the jury this afternoon.

Kaimuki Against
Liliha Street
TWO DISTRICTS CONTEST OVER
"A PROPOSED NEW RAPID TRA scHEDULE-KArUK1 SEES
ACTING GOVERNOR AND PROPOSES MASS MEETING OF ITS
RESIDENTS URGE IT'S CLAIMS

Kaimukl against Liliha and Judd
streets, a battle of the districts over
rapid transit is on and it promises to
be warm one before it is over, being
carried, like most things, into politics
and having much effect on the poll
tical aspirations of some of those con-
cerned. Kaimuki made a move on Act
ing Governor Atkinson this morning by
sending County Attorney Douthitt as
a committee of one representing the
Kaimuki Improvement Club, to urge
the fifteen-minute schedule of the Rap
id Transit cars. All parties have now
seen Atkinson, and all have got about
the same answer,-"What do you wish
me to do?" This is a question not yet
answered, for no one seems to know
just what powers the governor has in
the matter
The Kaimuki Club is calling a meet
ing, a mass" meeting, to urge it's
claims to a fifteen-minute car service,
which will mean that Liliha can only
have fifteen-minute cars also, instead
of ten minutes as now. Kaimuki resi-
dents will turn out to a man and there
will be resolutions and speeches
Il wish the various parties would
get together" said Acting Governor
Atkinson, who is being pulled in oppo-
site directions with considerable force
and is the principal object of attack
from all sides. 81 do not know exact
ly what I am expected to do, but am
glad to hear suggestions and argu-
ments. But I think the citizens inter
ested should get together and thrash
out the proposition"
There is great difference between the
facts as given by the Liliha committee
and the Kaimuki committee. The Lii
liha-Judd street citizens, who want to
preserve the ten-minute schedule, have
a set of figures which are far frOrh
agreeing with those which come from
Kaimuki. The latter claim that the
Kaimuki service is paying and is grow
ing fast, that Kaimuk citizens put up
the money to build the tracks, while

Want No
Changes in
Precincts
REPUBLICANS PREFER TO ASK
FOR A CHANGE IN THE ORGANIC
ACT.

The Republican Territorial Executive
Committee held a meeting yesterday
and decided not to recommend any
changes at all in the precincts of Oahu.
The plan to cut up the Fourth district
into twelve precincts was dropped, and
it was decided instead to ask Delegate
Kuhio to try to have the Organic Act
amended so that the precincts will be
allowed larger voting booths in which
case it will not be necessary to make
the precincts smaller.
The reason for proposing changes is
that in many of the precincts the vote
will be so large that there will be
great difficulty in giving all voters a
chance to cast their ballots. The cleo

DRIFTING into BANKRUPTCY
Largest City in Kansas Losing Money
By $4,000 Day.

Drifting toward bankruptcy at the
rate of $3, 900 day, $21 900 a week.
or 81 .095. 900 a year, is the fate of
Kansas City, Kan, a commonwealth
of 90, 900 people and the largest Ecity
of the sunfiowsr state. This condit-
ion was brought about by the enforce
ment of the prohibition law, after the
appointment of Assistant Attorney
General Trickett three months ago.
Previous to Trickett's appointment,
no city in Kansas enjoyed such pros
perity as Kansas City. The police,
fire, street and other departments
compared favorably with a city of
twice its size. Now the police force
has been cut in two, the fire depart
ment reduced and the street depart
ment practically abolished. And
that is not the worst, for present en-
ployes of the city find themselves
unable to cash their pay checks.
Until three months ago no effort was
made to enforce the prohibition law.
Saloons were not licensed, but each
saloonkeeper paid regularly into the
city treasury fine ranging from $40
to $50 month, according to the loca-
tion of his business. From 200
Joints" as they were termed, the city
received enough income to put it on
''easy street." With the abolishment
of the joints and the strict enforce
ment of the prohibition law, the nity
is in such straits that Ietrenchment in
every department. has become neces-
sary, but even with the present re-
duotions a huge deficit is accumulat-
ing daily. The city at present is in
debt to the amount of "a, 575, 900.

SOME SONGS THAT ARE SAD
People Who Sing When they Have
Sorrow or Regret.

You've heard the fiippant phrase,
"I'm saddest when / sing" says an
exchange. Well, it is true that GER
tain persons feel the strongest molina
tion to sing when they are sad. You
may remind them of the example Of
the birds, which, there are many per-
sons to believe, sing only when they
are glad. Nevertheless, these persons
must mingle tears with their song or
sing not at all.
Some of the best and noblest songs
ever written have been tear-compell
ing. For example; the one in which
the incompatible Jean Ingelow cries:
"When sparrows build and the leaves
break forth,
My old sorrow wakes and cries.
The same poet found inspiration for
song in shipwreck with lament
able loss of life, and soon every
body was singing "Oh, Fair Dovel
oh, Fond Dove" Factory employees
and street boys prefer.Shakespeare's
tragedies and the most lurid of melo-
dramas to the iveliest of farces and
comedies. ALI women are more in
terested in pathetic scenes in books
and in plays which bring tears to
their eyes than in situations which
cause them to shrek with laughter.
Perhaps there is even more reason
why songs that are sad achieve SO
much popularity. Music may be
dramatic, melancholy, tender, passion
ate, sweetly mournful, but never
comic. So called comic songs are
never comic except in their words.
Titillard by the humor of the verse,
you may imagine that the melody is
funny, but it is not.
A celebrated church organist is
fond of weaving imposing voluntaries
out of such themes as Johnny Get
Your Gun" and "Mr. Dooley." With
the right kind of comic words the
doxology music would produce side
splitting effects in vaudeville.
When you have a really fearful
poem set to music that music instantly
increases the fearful trickle into a
torrent, Even if the poem, standing
alone, fails to reach the tear ducts,
the music will produce the business.
1t is therefore deal simpler to write
an effective sad song than an effec-
tive glad one.
There is an illustr ration of this in
"0n the Blue Hills of New England,
Far Away" This is song of sad
memories. The sweetheart who dwelt
on those blue hills long ago had to be
left behind. Whenever he thinks OF
his native blue hills he thinks of her.
This makes him sad, and when he
is sad he sings. This sentiment is re-
flected in the heart of every one else
who sings such songs-and there ap-
pear to be many who prefer them to
all others.

Uncle Sam thrilled through and

clerks and cabinet officials were
ordered to ''learn English as she is

frequently used one hundred words

distribute them to all departments.
The president thinks it will give the
American language an individuality

regarded as a veiled criticism of

appointed at the play of fate that put
him far from San Francisco when the

ance to the Pacific States Telephone

standpoint to justify giving service
such as Milton and other towns of like
population are receiving. Promises of
improvement have been made from

service has been bettered to some ex-
tent, there is yet room for further ad-
vancement. Insulated tree wires and
more hours of service at the operating
office would assist materially in giving
better satisfaction to the company's
patrons.
