She had attired herself In a dull In

The very fabric seemed to cling to her
supple body with the sensuous Joy Of

with appraising eyes, experienced a
swift unaccountable desire to hold this
intoxicating creature close to her own
body.

.KANAE is FINED $50
ON FOURTH 0FFENSE

In assessing $50 fine against Frank
Kanae, the policeman found guilty by
the jury of assanlting a young Portu-
guese, Circuit Judge Ashford this
morning brought out the information
that the same officer has been convict
ed three times within the last two
months of similar offenses. He was
fined in the district court for assaults
on Archie Robertson and Chinese.
In all instances, said the court, the
oyerzealousness of the policeman
seemed due to an ungovernable tenn
per and too much muscle The Judge
said he had been told, however, that
Ranae was considered one of the best
men on the force in dangerous cases.,
where considerable nerve and bravery
seemed required.

Mighty cattle Fought.
At the time of this occurrence Kona
was held by four powerful chieftains;
namely, Observation-Disclosures, Ka-
meeiamoku and Kamanawa, twin bro
theirs, and Keaweaheulu. They persu-
AIDED Kekuhaupio of Keel, the greatest
warrior of his time, to put Kameha-
meha at the head of an army with
their aid.
The first battle was fought at Mo-
lkuohai and Kiwalao was slain by Ke-
neutrality-suspicious.. This led TO the
accession of Kamehameha to the SOW
ereignty of West Hawaii.
In the meantime, however, Kameha-
meha had other foes to overcome. Ke-
awemauhili, king of North Hawaii, was
slain by Keouakuaahuula in battle and
in order to become king of the entire
island Kemahemeha had to conquer
Keona.
Towards the close of 1871 two Of
Kamehameha's chief counselors, Ka-
manawa and Keaweaheulu, were sent
as an embassy to Keona, in Kau. Ke-
ona was urged by his chief warriors
to put the messengers to death, which
he Indignantly refused to do.
Keona and his brother, with a large
retinHe of chiefs and warriors, accom-
panied the messengers back to Ka-
mehameha, landing at Kawaihae Seek

AS Kecna was in the act Of leaping
ashore, Keeaumoku killed him with

oven below the heiau of Puukohola.
The death of Keona made Kameha-
meha the moi of Hawaii and was the
first step toward the consolidation OF
the group under one government.

Kamehameha:

The remaining islands were finally
brought under Kamehameha's rule.
After conquering Kalanikupule, heir of
Kahekili, and through the ceding of
Kauai by KaumuaIii, son of Kaeoku-
lani, Kamehameha became the con-
queror of the group. Formerly the
Islands were Independent and petty
kingdoms having their respective
kings and queens. .9-.s.
The conquering of all the islands by
Kamehameha was the dawn of the new
era, which forms the second part Of
The pageant.

ATTACK ON WARSAW

Petrograd, Feb. 24.-The Germans
are making desperate efforts to press

In o6icial circles the new German
drive upon Warsaw is said not to be
viewed with alarm. The grand dukes
forces in this region are being strong

So close have the Germans ap-
preached to Ossowiec that it is
stated the guns of the outer defenses
have been brought into play. The
fighting here and near Grodno ID re-
garded as incidental to the main Ger.

The government and the Petrograd
papers make no attempt to conceal
from the public the fact that the
grand dukes army has met with Sc
rious reverses in East Prussia. 1t is
pointed out, however, that in the Car

OLD TREATY PROTECTS
THE UNITED STATES


Washington, Feb. 24.-It is claimed
by officials here who have been study
ing old treaties between this country
and Germany and the constituent
kingdoms that the recently proclaim.
ed blockade zone about the British
isles is in violation Of treaty made
in 1928 between this country and Prus-
sia. ...a
The German government two years
ago formally asserted that this treaty
was to be considered in force and as
applying to the entire German EN-.
pire.
Under the terms of this pact ships
of this country should enjoy entire
freedom of the seas In trading with
British ports. The treaty provides
that If either of the contracting par
ties is at war with another power the
free intercourse of the commerce of
citizens remaining neutral with the
belligerent powers shall not be inter-
rupted.
On the contrary, 2as in times OF
peace, the vessels Of neutral party
may operate to and from the ports
of the belligerent nations.
