DUKE FAILS TO
MISS SERVICE
ON GRAND JURY

Federal Judge ,. B. Dole this morn
ing declined to release Duke Kahana-
moku, the world champion swimmer,
from service on the federal grand
jury, despite the earnest plea in the
champions behalf by Attorney W. T.
Rawlins, who also happens to be
president of the Hui Nalu club and
guide, counsellor and friend" to
Duke.
As the lawyers say, however, there
is a mitigating circumstance" that
relieves the tension of the fear that
Hawaii's advertising medium would
be unable to work at the big San
Francisco swimming meet July
Fourth. The court announced that
Duke Kahanamoku would be excused
from service in time to make the trip
to the coast. :.
This excuse probably will be only
temporary, however, and he may be
required TO resume jury duty on his
return. just how this is going to af-
feet the length of Dukes visit is still
q matter Cf doubt. He had intended
leaving with his teammates of the
Hui Nalu Club on June IS. going down
to Los Angeles after the San Fran
cisco event ahd participating in a
meet in Southern California, prob
ably not getting home again before
the latter part Of July. Whether his
temporary excuse from service will
permit an absence of that length is
not known.
Kahanamoku wa3 sworn in shortly
after 10 o'clock this morning and i'm
mediately began his duty as federal
grand juror.
Frank c. Athertor, who served on
the grand jury several months last
winter and who was selected as one
of the special venire of ten which re-
ported this morning, was excused from
service. as he expected to leave for
the coast today, All the other venire-
men were retained and the Jury be-
gan its work this morning.
