CASPER GETS THE CHILD

The Court Of Appeals of this
state has handed down its deci-
sion in the scase of Flynn VS.
Casper, which involved the Gus
tody of twa-year old child, and
which was an appeal from this
county.
The Flynn family had posses
sion of the child and had con-
tracted with the father, ]. M.
Casper, for its permanent Gus
tody. Casper sued out a writ
of habeus corpus for the custody
of the child in the county court
in 1912, and Judge Fee awarded
the child to Flynn's. The father
then appealed to the district
court, which reversed the deci-
sion and gave the child to its
father. The Flynns appealed to
the higher court which has de-
cided in favor of the father.
The Flynn family now live in
Bossanno, Alberta, Canada, hav-
ing left here nearly a year ago.

er Just before the dinner took place
was able to attend his duties as host
though grave doubts as TO his physical
ability had been entertained in the
earlier part Of the DAY. II is said that

some people took for monkeys dressed
up for the occasion, were also able 10

of the Shriner calibre, get to yelling,
there is some yell. So the neigthors
thought when the banQue- vas over
and the cheering began in real earnest.
Many went to the dance at the town
hall, which was also a brilliant sue
cess. The music was fine and the
dance greatly enjoyed.
The outlying country was visited the
next morning, and Maui scenery was
enjoyed to the full advantage given by
a clear and beautiful day.
In the afternoon the game of base.
ball between Waikiki and all Maui
was a most interesting event. even il
the Wailuku team won so many points
that il was finally no use keeping the

LOCAL TOURIST
CROP, TAYLOR

That "a very large part of the $780,
100000 spent for tourist travel in Eu-
rope will be diverted to the Pacific
coast" is the gist of a report received
by the Promotion Committee this
morning from Albert P. Taylor, its San
Francisco representative This state
ment, says Mr.. Taylor, was made in
an interview by Charles s. Fee of the
Southern Pacific Railway Company.
This augurs well for our own bus
mess" continued dr. Taylor, as Ha-
waii is now the only safe tourist re-
sort in the world as / am advertising
Our steamship service is not likely to
be interrupted. There certainly will
be much travel to Hawaii. Inquiries
already coming in indicate that new
inquiries are made because of the
war" r.. s..
Mr.. Taylor goes on to say that Pine
apple Day was an unqualified success
in San Francisco.
james Duffy of the Santa Fe Rail
way stated recently that it is now
time to flood the East with Hawaiian
literature. and asked me to supply him
with box of folders for that pur
pose," says Mr.. Taylor Now that
the Santa Fe has decided to open up
for new business in this manner,
will notify the other railway compa-
MES and get them to take the same
course. The European war, they be-
lieve. will shunt a large amount of
business over here. both the exposition
and Hawaii being held out as special
attractions. We have II American

very good"

umpire TO suit anybody. and then Rose
Grams of Paia was pnt in. He also was
unsatisfactory and at last the Shriners
put in Berger the kapei.meister, who
knew nothing about baseball. and
would only give the decisions that the
crowd hooted for. He was a good
sport all right. but the band during the
performance really suffered. for the
Shriner who took Berger's job insisted
that such splendid music as ''There1l
Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" be PLAYED, and SO Say We All
of Us" Berger kept to his job, how
ever, and so did the Shriner, until the
last inning was played. which ran the
score still higher for Wailuku.
" The game was interesting but best
of all, the kuls Sanitorium made an
exceedingly handsome sum out Of the
gate receipts. Fully one hundred auto
mobiles were in line.

liciting votes. He would be very
pleased to go to Washington and serve
Hawaii if elected. He thought that
he could do lot of good as delegate,
as he is known personally to many of
the congressman. The personal touch
would be a great help, said the eandi-
date, and he felt that he was very
well known in these islands as we'll as
in Washington.
The speaker said that he thoroughly
believed in the referendum and the
initiative The recall was also good
thing, said Mr.. Carter. If the legisEa-
ture put law on the books that was
not satisfactory to the people, there
would be no need to wait until the
next legislature for & chance to have
the law repealed The referendum
would take care of such matter and
the people could vote directly to have
the obnoxious law removed from the
statutes. The initiative would work on
similar lines. and the people could get
what they wanted The recall would
make men in political and government
positions work during the time they
were in office. The fear of being
dumped before their term expired
would keep them up to the, mark. :. In
too many cases. said the speaker. men
are put in office for two years and
then proceed to loaf on the job. A
squirt may be made toward the end of
the term but. on the whole, the men
loaf and do not act as they should
during the whole time they are elected
for. If the recall we're Instituted these
men would be Johnnie on the spot"
