Sheriff Jarrett said this morning
that he didn't know the dances had

he said. He showed deliberate sur

Fears of the mayor that Honolulu
would never again see the beloved
hula dance because Sheriff jarrett
had issued an order directing Madame
Puahi to close up her hula hula re,
sort at Kapiolani park forthwith may
be discounted now. They could have
been discounted three months ago, &C,
cording to neighbors of Madame Pu'
ahi and by her own admissions made
this morning.
For the giver of hula dances has
been on the job, is on the job and
will continue to be on the job. she
said this morning, regardless of Sher-
iff Jarrett and his order" But Mayor
J. ]. Fern, with a few others. took the
order at it's face value aL'l expected
the head of the police department. to
see that it was obeyed-liVed up to.
Therefore they feared that Madame
Puahi would never again do hula ca
tering.
The "order"-it is put in quotations
to bring out the comedy Of twas is
sued by Sheriff Jarrett in the early
part of last summer directly after the
Charles Guertler shooting, which oc-
curre,l at Madame Puahi's resort At
that time the sheriff stated-to the
press-that he had directed the wo.
man not to give any more dances at
her place. He said he thought it
should be closed up because it was
in a sense responsible for the murder.
Madame Puahis husband is an Of
fcer of the police department. 1t
was pointed out by some. who took
the sheriff's "order" seriously that
the latter would have no trouble in
enforcing it as he could declare Mr..
Puahi's position forfeited If the or
der" were disobeyed. But-for three
months the neighbors say Madame Pu-
ahi's dances have been given with all
the regularity of old. and the woman
herself Sslmits as much.
She tried vaIiantly for awhile to get
a license to legalize the dancing at
her place. First she was after q

Next she sought show license. But
q thicket of objections was met, reg.

4 Possibly Madame Puahi,s third aLsl
successful idea came with her aban-
donment of the license scheme Pos
sibly it occurred to her with striking
conviction that the sheriff was joking
in the order One day about three
months ago she came down to see the
sheriff. Maybe she wanted to test out
his sense of humor No doubt she
did. ALL beyond doubt the test pleas

that the t.order ceased to have any

it seems more than likely that some

view of the fact that the settlers were
practically assured both by the gov

Then there is the guessing about
prices. 1t seems conceded that the
prices to rule next year will not run
over SIS per ton,. against some $21
last year. Some believe they may
even go considerably lower. The
prices are fixed for the year in May.
There are quite a number of factors

Low ADVOCATES

Former Supervisor Eben Low, one
of TIE leading horsemen Of the islands
and q veteran In Floral Parade mat
ters as one Of the marshals, believes
that the 1914 Carnival should inaug-
urate a new plan for handling the
princess and pau section
In all previous parades the princess
section has clung TO the wearing Of
the pau or flowing garment and
though the effect has been pictur-
esque, Mr.. Low believes that the
princesses should not wear the pau.
Il would advocate allowing the
princesses to dress as they choose or
else to fix up some distinctive cos.
tune that has not the disadvantages
of the pau The pau absolutely pre-
vents the spectator from seeing the
beauty Of the horse or the rider. be-
cause the animal Is largely covered
BY the flowing garments and the rider
even more so.
1T IS fact, as those who have
been connected with past parades
know, that many young women who
are anc riders have refused TO enter
the princess section because they viii

BUSINESS GOOD
IN POsIOFF|CE,
SHOWS REPORT

Croakers who have raised the hue
and cry of hard times in Hawaii" will
be sorely troubled in attempting to
prove their contention from the re-
ceipts ct the Honolulu postoffice dur
ing the last quarter of 1913, which
shows an excess over the same peri
cd of the preceding year of more than
five thousand dollars. According to
figures compiled by Postmaster Jo-
seph Pratt the receipts for his office
for the quarter ending December 81,
1918, amounted to $42,110.25, an in
crease over the corresponding quar-
ter CT the previous year of $5,4S2.23.
Ii is a noticeable fact that the ma
terial increase was in the sale of
postage stamps, which is taken as an
indication that prosperity was far
from being removed from this terri
tory. the holiday business being par
ticularly large, as the outgoing pack
ages iLdicated.
