Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, December Shark
ing back to the early days of Hawaii.
the grave and reverend members of
the United States supreme court were
recently treated to lengthy recita.
lions descriptive of conditions in the
fislands when but short progress had
been made from the original despot-
ism, and when land tenures were still
feudal. The case of Levers & Cooke
versus Mary H. Atcherly, brought
here from the Hawaiian supreme
court and argued before the
nations highest tribunal, furnished
the setting for this exploitation OF
early history.
According to the recital of facts
laid before the court, in 1S43, four
years after the first constitution Of
Hawaii had been granted by the king,
when the government had progressed
from its original despotism and had
few written laws but tenure in land
was still feudal and no one owned
land in fee simple one Kaniu of Ho,
noulu died, leaving a foster son,
David Kalakaua and husband, KIM
maka. On her death bed, in presence
of her husband, the governor of the
Island of Oahu and others, she de-
clared David Kalakaua her heir, and
asked Kinimaka to care for the prop
erty during Kalakaua's minority.
Appellee claims title to the land
in question from Hinimaka Appel
liant claims from David Kalakaua,
resting the claim principally upon
certain legal proceedings in 1858 and
1903, and estoppels claimed in various
forms
Levers & Cooke brought suit in the
court of land registration to register
title to a larger ract, including that
in controversy, and Mary H. Atcherly
appeared as contestant. The first de-
cree in this court was in favor of
Levers & Cooke. On appeal to the
supreme court of Hawaii that decree
was set aside on the ground that
Levers & Cooke had no title to the
land claimed by Mary H, Atcherley.
The trial court then made a new de-
cree, Diminishing the petition. On ap-
peal a final decree was entered by the
supreme court.
Mary H. Atcherley claims title 10
the land in controversy on the fact
that in July, 1916, Kinimaka filed
claim with the board of commission
ers to quiet land titles for an award
of three parcels of land, claiming one
from Kaniu, his wife, and the prop
erty now in controversy from Eiliha,
governess of Hawaii. The board
awarded him the land April 10, 1919,
Kinimaka died in 1857 devising the
land to a daughter, Kaniu Kinimaka,
for life, after her death to David Leleo
Kinimaka, a son, for his life, remain
der to Moses Kinimaka, a son, in fee
simple. In 1880 Kaniu made a deed
of her interest to David Leleo KIM
maka. David died in 1884 and Kaniu
in 1901. Mary H. Atcherley, daugh-
ter of David, purchased the remain
derman's interest in 1897.
Levers & Cooke claim title from
David Kalakaua, who in 1858 filed
petition in probate of an oral will of
Kaniu, wife of Kinimaka. In this pro-
ceeding it was shown that Kaniu
died in 1913, and on her heathbed
gave all her property to David Kala.

Their World All Dark.
Early yesterday morning the grim
reality of prison life began for the
Mcnamara brothers.
Off to the east the somber, mist
wrapped waters of San Pablo bay
still slumbered, touched by no shining
core of light from a rising sun. Gray,
bleak hills low-lying and stocky, with
little guardhouses on their TANKS,
were barely more than suggested
about the penitentiary To the west
was a heavy ghost that would later
prove to be Mount Tamalpais. Out
side was still the night and pale stars
shining through the mist This was
the world to which the McNamaras
arose yesterday morning. The high
wall of the pententiary Enclosure
shut off from their sight the view to
the east, but the guarding hills AMI
the ghostly mountain they could see.
Darkness still but the penitentiary
world was astir when guards sum
moned them forth into that chill dark
ness and they fell in line with a silent
serpent-whose units once were men
as they were the other day-that
wound its sinuous, sibilant length into
the prison dining hall.
The McNamaras had been shown
Sunday where they must hereafter

RAPHAEL'S COLD MADONNAS

Story: conversation in Studio.'
 I doubt if Raphael ever would have reached a higher point than he had ai- ready reached at the age of 37 His enthusiasm and love of art were on the wane, and his last works have little Of the sincerity of feeling and purpose shown in his earlier ones. He had a susceptible> nature, full of delicacy and grace, but not a great nature; and, fin ally, he became rather academic.
 I always feel a certain want of depth in even his best work, as if it were, done more than natural facility and sense of grace than from any deep inspiration. His natural gifts were extraordinary and his faculty of composition remarkable, but the best of him was expressed in his early works. There is always sweetness and refinement, great skill in drawing and putting together of his pictures; but they have neither great purpose nor in tensity of feeling His madonnas are generally conscious in their grace, and almost invariably cold toward the child; very seldom do they even look at him, and are never wrapt in him.
 Raphael's are cold, and pure, and sweet, more like stepmothers than real mothers, and they hold, their baby, not as if he were their own, but rather as if he had been lent to them.
