Chinese DRAMA
Is Event OF
SATURDAY

Carefully revised by Chinese schoi-
ars, the Chinese drama Princess
Sab Yit Ngo" will be ready for pre-
sensation next Saturday night before
a mixed audience. 1t has meant a
great deal of labor and time to the
Chinese Students Alliance, under
whose direction the play Is to be
staged Already heavy item OF ex-
pense incidental to the historical
drama has been footed. When one
comes to figure the many silk en-
broidered handmade decorations and
ornaments, the gorgeous costumes OF
the Orient, the hand-carveds furniture
and the many other distinctly Chi
nese articles not seen so commonly in
the west, he will have an idea OF
what 1t will cost. 1t will be the first
time that the stage at Charles r.
Bishop Hall will be transformed into
an Oriental court.
A great deal of interest will be
centered around C. Y. Kwai, known
on the stage as Sheu Mu Kai, young
professional who will take the leading
role of Prince Chu. Some years ago
he was still in the local schools, but
cause of his dramatic talent, he
was picked. for the stage. 1t was
this young prince who came to the
rescue of the tottering dynasty, and
who restored the throne to his father
after the foreign tribe had gained
temporary possession. Later in the
play, he succeeded in overthrowing
his fathers minister. who had made
himself the ruler and the first of a
new dynasty Even in the love game,
the prince will have difficult role,
for 1t happened that the widowed
king, his father, also fell in love with
his sweetheart.

LOOK TO Chief
To SETTLE
DISPUTES
Harbormaster Expected by the
Board to Attend to Matters
in His Own Office

Just why any dissension in the har.
hormaster's office can not be settled
on the spot without having to refer the
matter to the board of harbor commits
sicners, is the question which the
members of that body would like 20
nave satisfactorily answered.
. A letter received from Assistant
Harbormaster John Dick by the board
at a meeting yesterday afternoon
caused some pointed remarks to be
made hy several of the members. 1t
seems that Dick had been aboard tug
plying in the harbor. While on the
vessel. Dick attempted 10 give orders
to the skipper. whereupon he was
promptly reminded as 10 who was
master of the tug. Upon going ashore,
Dick reported the matter to Harbor-
master Foster. and then. through a
letter. Dick reported the matter to the
hoard. which announced itself opposed
to subordinate officers corning TO 1t
with official matters over the heads Of
their sunnriors
F.. p, McStocker. a member OF the
hoard. stated that Dick told him that
the harbormaster had instructed him
TO send a letter to he hoard OF bar.
bor commissioners setting forth his
case. McStocker. however, favored
referring the matter direct t. the har
bormaster as it was desirable to gel
his stand upon the apparent fragrant
violation of the rules on the part OF
the captain of the tug. and with re
gard to the performance of duties
prescribed by the rules and regula
lions of the mort, which now govern
the port until new ones are made
McStocker also Etated that II the
barbormaster or his assistant had no
authority on board the vessel they
should keep that fact within the lin
its of the office, and that II they had
authority it should be recognized.
Colonel Mccarthy said that the
harbor mater had spoken to him
about the matter, setting forth that
while Dick was apparently good
man, he was rather officious and had
at different times gotten into trouble
with captains of various vessels, who
objected to his presence on board.
1t is said that Dicks talk was largely
responsible ior the recent Legislative
investigation of the harbormaster's
office. The board has referred the
matter to the harbormaster.
