DOES NOT Want
THE CLEGHORN
GIFT

The prospect that the legislature
will accept Ainahau, Princess Kaiu-
lani's home. as public park locks
gloomy now. Dr. Irwin, the Demo-
cratic house leader, favors it, but it
appears that he. as usual. is on the
minority side of the question, while
the committee chairman and leaders
and Speaker Holstein are outspoken
against it.
This, despite the fact that Delegate
Kalanianaole. the speakers close
friend, both politically and socially. re-
Gently sent the latter a cable urging
the offer of the late Archibald s.
Cleghorn be aceepted.
DR. Haddy, chairman of the lands
committee, in whose hands the measure
calling for the acceptance of the gift
now reposes, is against it, and most of
the members of the committee concur
in his sentiment.
Quote me correctly on this" said
the speaker, when questioned this
morning, 4 voted against the bill two
years ago, and can see no reason for
changing now.
Il believe in giving the people what
they want--and what they ask for. If
the people of Oahu want Ainahau for a
park they should speak through their
representatives, the supervisors The
expense and trouble of maintaining
Ainahau in keeping with the terms of
the Cleghorn will devolves upon the
people of Oahu. Ii they are willing to
accept it they should say so through
their superyisorial board. No such
words has yet come from the supervi-
sors RI
Tt should be remembered that there
are possible heirs, who would profit if
the property were to revert. Any
slight laxity in obeying the mandate
of the Cleghorn will would be grasped,
and it is possible that its retention by
the city might prove an amending
source of expensive litigation.
Then, again, Ainahau never would
be a park for the people. BY reason
of its environment and its very ma
ture it could never be park to he
enjoyed by the masses. If taken over
by the territory that feature. could not
be eliminated 1t would still remain
the pleasure ground for the privileged
few-to speak plainly, the rich peo-
pie" !.
DR.. Hubby escorted a number of
house members out, to Ainahau yes
terday afternoon, and he stated this
morning that after they had viewed
the place without exception they de-
clared opposition to its requirement
by the territory. .. =. i. Z. 4
1T is not designed for a public
park" said DR.. Huddy, "and never
could be made one satisfactorily. He
admitted that although he had girdled
the globe he had never seen a more
beautiful, more picturesque spot than
Ainahau. He said he saw one probab-
Iy its equal in New Zealand, and that
one. was fenced off and carefully
guarded from the general public.

Adopting the above resolution, in
| troduced by Representative j. X.
Paele, the house, adjourned at IL
O'Clock this morning in honor of the
memory of the member whose life
quietly passed out at 4 o'clock yes
Iterday afternoon.
Stricken suddenly by heart trouble
late Tuesday afternoon, Representa-
tive Poepoe had been absent from
his place in the Legislative hall since
that time, but the gravity OF his con-
dition was not known until the news
of death came, after the house had
ceased its labor yesterday.
In the course of his euFogy Repre-
sentative Paele said that the final
words uttered by the dying man to
his wife just before death were that
he heartily favored and would sup
port the measures of his friend from
Maui, Representative p. j. Goodness.
In accordance with the resolution
adopted by the house, the speaker.
will appoint three members to serve
as pall-bearers at the. funeral, which
lis to take place at 3 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon. In addition; both
house and senate probably will adj
journ early tomorrow and the en-
tire membership attend the service,
following the remains to their last
resting place.
No business was transacted by the
house this morning. When that
body convened, at 1890 a. m, stand
ard time, but 10 o'clock house time,
the desk formerly occupied by Rep
resentatiYe Poepoe was, draped in
mourning and bore large vase of
white chrysanthemums, Gala lilies
and large white daisies. This bit of
decoration had not. been finished at
10 o'clock standard time, and Vice
Speaker Coney set the clock back to
permit it's completion by the APP
pointed hour for converting.
Speaker Holstein then called the
house to order, Chaplain Akaiko
Akana delivered the invocation and
House Clerk Eddie Woodward read
the minutes of the previous days
business. Immediately following that
formality the memorial resolution
was introduced and read. -
