MRS. SHINOBARA'S AFFINITY

Shinobara took to him a Hawaiian

week the Honorable Mrs. Shinobara

taro plants growing in the mud and
she took unto herself a huge longing
for poi.

meaning she was longing for a little
two-finger lunch.
Mrs. Shinobara's poi-nerve got the
better of her Honorable discretion and

was both convenient and pleasant to
call, she also acquired a new longing

Carter, to Midway Island there to take

That these orders were unexpected

EDITOR HAWAIIAN STAR:-The
second stage Of the Pearl Harbor cam
pmgu was entered upon day before
yesterday when in conference with our
friends on the Naval Committee, it
was decided TO adopt new plan OF
action
knowing that the Subcommittee ON
Yards. of The House Naval Committee
was friendly TO ms, it was planned to-
have the whole Pearl Harbor matter
referred to them for report i'm the hope
that by means of a favorable recon-
moudatiou from them, we could move
the full committee to report bill.
The plan was entered upon yester-
better of her Honorable discretion and
today the Subcommittee met and in
structed its chairman, Mr. Bates, to in
troduce a bill, to be favorably recon-
mended to the full committee, carry

THE MORMON PERJURY CASE
MAY BE DECIDED THIS AFTER
NOON.

The trial of Melvin NJ. Harmon for
subornation Of perjury in connection
with the George Kekauoha-Kalehua
adultery case, was again on this morn
ing in the United States District Court
the entire morning session being taken
up with the examination of Elder
Harmon who was on the stand from
the time court opened until the jury
was excused at eleven-forty.
Both the prosecution and the defense
after the jury had been excused, ar
gued with the court regarding the
courts charge to the jury this after
noon.
The case will probably go to the
jury before three o'clock, an early YER
dict being expected by both sides.

At the Naval Station, as is the rule,
no information is being given out and
except for the hustling of the boys Of
the Iroquois in their rush work, there
are no signs Of unusual activity.
The guns on Midway are practically
useless and there are only twenty
Marines stationed there, so that as far
as any resistance to foe is concerned
the force ON Midway would have little
chance against anything better than a
few sampans or a mutnous crew.
If it were merely the uselessness,
from a war standpoint, however, it
would seem that there would be no oc-
casion for haste in relieving Midway
of its armament and the Iroquois could
proceed at her convenience. But the
orders do not take leisurely convent
ence into consideration; it is a matter
of proceeding "as soon as possible"
