BOY WRITES CONSTITUTION
FOR CHINA---RAD A HAWAIIAN MOTHER

Sun Vat Sen is by no means the only
great leader Honolulu has given to the
Chinese Republic, news having just
come that the constitution of the new
government, which is to be voted upon
soon by the national assembly, is the
work of L. Lee Ahlo, who first saw the
light of day through a tenement win
dow at the corner of Mauna Kea and
King street, thirty-six years ago, where
his Chinese father had taken his Ha-
waiian mother and set up housekeeping
a year previously.
Ahlo is graduate of an American
China under the old regime, being one
of the supreme court judges at Peking.
His great work, that of drafting the
constitution of his country, shows plain
ly the influence of his American birth
and training, the document following in
main essentials the Constitution of the
United States.
1t provides for n national assembly
to consist of two houses, called the
council of the people and the council
of the provinces. The representatives
in the upper house (the council of the
provinces) will serve six years, and
those in the lower house four years. A
third of the upper house is to be chosen
every three years and half the lower
house every two years. Former presi-
dents become life members of the up
per house, the "frst citizen, being
thus retained in the government.
Members of the lower house are to
be chosen by the people and those of
the upper house by the provincial as
semblies. All measures, including reve-
nue. bills, may originate in either house.
The constitution provides that the
candidate receiving two.thirds of the

M'NAMARA LAWYER

LOS ANGELES, June l. - Another
sensation came in the trial of Clarence
Darrow, attorney for the Mcnamara
brothers, when Bert IL. Franklin, the
private detective employed by Darrow
during the dynamite trial, testified that
Job Hartman, socialist candidate for
mayor at the last election, was present
when Darrow turned over the four thou
sand dollars to be used in bribery.
This is the first time that Hartman s
name has come into the present case at
all. There was no hint of any connec-
ton between the arrest of Franklin,
and the socialist leader at the time.
Now, however, the charge is made by
the chief witness for the State that
Mr.. Hartman was in the office of the
Mcnamara defense, in the Higgins
building, at Second and Main street,
when the money was rendered hlm by
Darrow. Hartman was not present in
court when the statement was made.
Franklin detailed the payment OF
$500 for jury-fxing purposes.

STRUGGLE COMING
Managers Says They
Will Import Other
Helpers.

NEW YORK, June I.-Some of tho
most palatial hotels in the city are
minus walters and cooks today. -Four
thousand of the members of the Inter
national Hotel Workers Union walked
out yesterday and hotels like the Astor.
st. Regis, Vanderbilt, Plaza, Marie An.
toinette, Gotham, Waldorf Astoria and
the Belmont are without men to cook
and serve the food for their patrons.
The trouble extends farther than the
hotels. Sherry's famous restaurant was
unable to serve any one last night and
for the first time in years was almost
deserted during the after-theater din
ner hour. The Elk IS Club and the ex-
elusive Calumet Club were also in the
throes of the labor troubles.
Their demands include twenty per
cent, increase in wages; all fines to be
abolished; the shortening of hours by
making one long intermission of the
three or four short intermissions, which.
1T is asserted, make the walters SER
vice practically continuous for from
fourteen to sixteen hours a day; fur
nishing jackets; the recognition of a
union grievance committee and of the
arbitration principle
In behalf of the cooks a ten hour
work day is demanded, with double paw
for overtime, one full day off in each
week and not more than sixty hours in
any week; also platforms in front of
the ranges to protect their feet from
the hot floors.
Shorter hours, pay for overtime and
free uniforms are the main demands in
behalf of bell boys and porters. Prac-
tically double present wages and more
regular hours are sought for the cham
bermaids and better food and more of
it for all employees.
For several days the state depart
ment of labor has been conducting an
Investigation into conditions affecting
hotel employees. A representative OF
the department who visited the union
headquarters admitted that he had
found unsanitary and otherwise un-
wholesome conditions which are urgent.

UNCLE SANS TROOPS
CAMP ON PUNCHBOWL
TO STOP W0ODCHOPPING
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
To prevent further wooichopping ON
that part of the Punchbowl military
reservation which is not disputed prop
erty and to keep watchful eye upon
he work of the japanese upon that
section which is said to belong to the
Kapiolani estate by right of lease, the
department commander yesterday dis
patched Second Lieutenant Hawley, a
corporal and seven men to camp in the
crater and police the lands Waikiki of
the road.
John +. Colburn, on behalf of the Ka-
piolani estate, filed complaint with
the department commander recently be-
cause the japanese who had been cut
ting down the algaroba grove in Punch
bowl had been stopped by the orders
of the military men. he claimed that
the land had been leased from the
monarchial government when Punch
bowl was crown land, that the lease
has not expired, and that the estate has
right to dispose of the timber as it
sees fit. The land Waikiki of the road
is not included in this claim, however,
and the soldiery will keep n strict
watch over it, and while they will not
interfere with the woodcutting ON the
disputed area they will take the names
of all persons who attempt to cut down
trees, which names will be filed for
future reference when the property
rights are settled.

AT KANEoHE BAY.

Reports brought back by President
Gilmore and Professors Bryan and Nc
Caughey Of the College of Hawaii and
superintendent Pope of the department
of public instruction three weeks ago
have inspired local hui to attempt to
turn Kaneohe Bay into tourist 8
paradise and plans are already matur'

The marine beauties that lay hidden
beneath the bay IS seldom troubled sur

great glass s-bottom observatory to which

to bring wider range into the in

for those who will care to spend more
than one day at the bay is planned as
part of the "tourist paddock" of at
fractions which is involved in the full
scheme.
1t was with no intention of any pro-
motion scheme, however, that the four
scientists went down there three weeks
ago, Dut to measure certain reef IN
order that within the next fifty years
their successors may be able to ascer-
tain its growth. The slow growth of
reefs make the time specified necessary
