PRINCESS MARY
PROPOSES TO
KITCHENER


Princess Mary OF Eng
land, daughter of King George, has
proposed to Lord Kitchener.
The royal proposal was whis6ered
in the park of Wildsor caefle one
evening not long ago.
Lord Kitchener gahkntly asked the
little princess to<talk with her father
about the Alliance.
The mG(eh is off.
Th4grizzied hero OF Khartum. home
tcf spell from Egypt, was escorting
the princess about the grounds. He IS
90 years ole. tall. straight as an ar
row, stern as an Indian chieftain. She
is Is. shy and hero worshiper.
There was a lull in the conversation
as they walked over the we'll kept
grounds. and Princess Mary. with her
hand on his arm. told him. amid some
confusion. that she had something Inn
portant to say.
Royal custom demands In cases OF
courfship between a woman of the
royal blood and man Of lesser nobility.
the proposal be made by the woman.
The embarrassment OF this was
what the little princess had In mind
and she said so. frankly enough,
despite her bushes. She wanted to
become her hero's wife. she said, and
since she had to propose. she was do
ing 80. se
For the first time In many years
Lord Kitchener smiled. He took heroic
pains to conceal his amazement and
amusement however, beyond this one
manifestation He told her. that he
appreciated the great honor she con-
ferred upon him by even considering
his eligibility to become her consort,
but that he felt much too old to con-
slider It.
Something of the answer had 0c-
CURED to. the princess before she put
the question and she was prompt with
a rejoinder. With a laugh she waved
aside the age objection and said that
her aunt. the crown princess, had mar
ried man many years her elder and
had lived a perfectly happy welded
life.
Thus. placed on the defensive, Lord
Kitchener made no definite reply TO
the proposal. suggesting instead that
she talk the matter over with her
father.
A day or so afterward Lord Kit
chener told the king of the naive pro-
posal and the monarch roared with
laughter.
Thinking it too good joke to keep.
the king told Queen Mary. sac failed
to see the humor of the situation and
was furious, and the only tangible
result of the little princess effort to
assert her royal prerogative was a
weeks confinement in her own room.

Renewing his efforts to recover his

signed conveying her to Iwanaga be
declared void
City and County Attorney John
Cathcart has not completed his in
yestigation as yet, but so far as he
has gone he is convinced that Gendo's
charge is unfounded, he says. The
matter was turned over to him by the
attorney general, together with the
statement of Gendo regarding the
transaction reduced to writing. The
name of Inouye TOWNSEND, a Japan
lese court interpreter, Isl also men,

in the affair is not made clear, nor
are a number OF otter facts intelli-

he is inclined to believe Gendo In

Gendo declares that he, having been
advised OF the ho1te of Iwanaga and
his newly purchasei wife, went there
one day to reclaim her, and was ready
TO prove that he lad signed the bill
of sale under Undue influence, but
the vendee uncetemoniously ordered
him from the Place. and when he re-

This incident has not met with ia

BARRIER.
IS RAISED BY
GRAND JURORS
Members Who WhiteWashed
Police of San Francisco De-
nounced by Fellows

SAN FRANCISCO Several mem.
hers of the grand nry have refused to
sit at the banquet board with those
of their fellow jurors who were active
in jamming through the now notori-
Gus resolution commencing and prais,
ing Chief of Police White, Captain OF
Detectives Mooney and the Board OF
Police Commissioners.
Besides Hutchins, there are at least
three grand jurors who have assumed
q frankly hostile attitude toward the
grand jurors who most actively exert
ed themselves in the matter of shield
lng certain high police officials from
accusations by the grand jury.
Among the men who have aligned
themselves with Hutehins are Grand
Jurors Andrew Wilkie, Everett NJ Zee
and j. III. McCallum.
The occasion for this astounding
declartion by Wilkie was the cOnsid-
Grafton of a motion providing for a
farewell grand jury banquet, to be
held tonight at downtown cafe.
Speaks His Mind.
When the banquet matter was first
preached in the grand jury room.
Wilkie excepted to the manner in
which it was attempted to lay it be-
fore the body. Foreman Dumhrell
asked Wilkie if he wished to discuss
the motion, and Wilkie promptly re-
piled that he did wish to discuss it.
There is no one who enjoys more
than t. said he, the pleasure of sit
ting at table with congenial spirits.
There are members of this grand jury
whom ! respect highly There are
others for whom / do not have high
respect. After what has occurred in
this grand jury room, feel that |
could not sit at a banquet board with
certain members of this body without
forfeiting my self-respect.
IN Accord With Minority.
Grand Juror j. III. McCallum, who
has already declared that he will not
attend another meeting of this grand
jury, said last night that he was in
thorough accord, not only with Will
kie's act of ostraeism, but also with
Grand Juror Hutchins public criti-
cism of the grand jury resolution and
of Chief of Police White"
THAT resolution was a ridiculous
thing. said McCallum. Both Wilkie
and I opposed 1t at the time. There
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-06-05

was not a scintilla of evidence to
warrant such a resolution, and after
Chief White, Captain Mooney and
Captain Wall had testified it seemed
20 me that there was no possible ex-
cuse for such action.
"Chief White himself admitted that
the conditions in the police depart
ment were bad And Captain Mooney,
when he was asked In the grand jury
room to name the influences which,
according to his oft-repeated public
statements. had hampered him in his
work as head of the detective bureau,
said that he had meant the bunko
men. 1t looked very much as though
Mooney had made his peace with
White before - before the
grand jury.
Il have no interest in the political
squabbles of Chief White and District
Attorney Fickert do, however, have
a decent regard for my duty as a
grand juror. and will not lend my
self further to the deliberations of a
body that can see its way clear to
adopt such resolution as that which
was intended to relieve certain high
er police officials of responsibility for
the wretched police conditions that
were disclosed by the evidence pro-
duced before the grand jury.

UNIQUE WEAPONS Of WAR
With Success in Modern Times by
West Indian Revolutionists.

Anyone familiar with the construc-
ton of modern weapons Of warfare
and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose cannon
made OF wood would be Of little or uo
value as weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success, neverthe-
tess, I'm recent revolutions In Cuba,
Haiti and in the Dominican republic.
The wood used in the construction
of these crude weapons is very
tough variety, having twisted grain
that curls about the log in such way
that to split the timber with the Or
binary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected, and a
piece of the log five or six feet In
length and about one foot in diameter
is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, it Is
swung up on crude truss and hole
Is burned into it from one end. The
log is wound with strips of rawhide
cut from the skin of a steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
of hide, another layer is wound on,
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches in diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.

used with success in number of in
