Sheriff Jarrett said this morning
that he. didn't know the dances had
been going on. 1t was news to him,
he said. He showed deliberate sur
prise at the information and 5prom-
ised an investigation. He said she
shouldn't be giving the dances, but
when the question of whether he
wotl:sl stop her from giving any more
was put, he didn't answer. The, in
vestigation must be made first, he
pointed out.
Last night she gave a nice little
oance in the lining room at Ainahau.
There the gourd was beaten and the
dancers danced and the tourists
watched-and the hat passed for Ma.

Fears of the mayor that Honolulu
would never again see the beloved
hula dance because Sheriff Jarrett
had issued all 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

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 it-was is
sued. by Sheriff Jarrett in the early
part of last summer directly after the
Charles Guertler shooting, which oc-
currcl at Madame Puahi's resort At
that time the sheriff stated-to the
Eress-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 Puahi's husband is an Of
ficer 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 cor
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 almits as much.
She tried valiantly tor awhile to get
license to legalize the dancing at
her place First she was after a
dance-hall permit, but a committee of
the dance-hall inspectors recommend
ed that her application be disallowed
Next she sought a show license. But
thicket of objections was met, reg

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. ALd beyond doubt the test pleas

Low ADVOCATES

Former Supervisor Eben Low, one
of the leading horsemen of the islands
and a veteran in Floral Parade mat
ters as one of the marshaIs, 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 oil
the pau or flowing garment and
though the effect has been pictur
esque, Mr.. Low believes that the
princesses should not wear the pau
II would advocate allowing the
rrineesses 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 a fact, as those who have
been connected with past parades
know, that many young women who
are finc riders have refused TO enter
the princess section because they win
not wear the pau Katie COrnweII.
