Theirna Parker Smart case occurred
in Circuit Judge Whitney's court late
this afternoon, after Attorney c. n,

and the 1e-months'-oId child, had pre-.
sented motion asking that Judge

office OF guardian ad Iitem Of the child

olson's motion asked that Judge
Whitney's order Of January 12, ap-
pointing Judge Perry as guardian ad
liten, or temporary custodian Of the
child's interests, be vacated on the
ground that the appointment was
made at the suggestion and behest Of
the chiId's father, Henry Gailiard
Smart; that the interests Of the child
and the father In the estate Of the
mother are at direct variance, that
the interests Of the father and child

declares that Attorney Olson has no

STORY OF SIEGE RELATED

Refugees on Way Back to Ger

Day Here

Bringing to Honolulu vivid stories
of the siege and fall of Tsingtau, for
mer German naval base in the China
sea, and of the departure from the
city and capture by the English of 240
women and children, relatives OF the
German officers and men, Sister Eliza
beth of the German Red Cross Corps
and Mrs. Mildred Orlob, wife of a
German sergeant who now Is in a
Japanese prison in Toxic, arrived here
last night as through passengers in
the Siberia. Sister Elizabeth is on
her way to the front to rejoin the Red
Cross corps. Mrs. Orlob is going to
her home in Germany. ~.. :. .....-
Their picturesque stories were told
the Star-Bulletin last night shortly
after the arrival Of the Siberia. Sis
ter Elizabeth remained on duty in
Tsingtau during the entire siege Of
that city, while Mrs, Orlob was one
of those who left the city shortly be-
fore the siege began on the collie"
ship Paklat, q Observation-Disclosures
steamer, bound for Tientsin. Both
were eye witnesses of the scenes
which they described.
THE Germans surrendered Using
tau to the Japanese not only because
of shortage of ammunition but large
ly because Of the oyerwhe helming odds
against which they were fighting, :"
said Sister Elizabeth. Before the
siege the Germans numbered about
$500 men, the Invading Japanese near
ly $4,000. The German garrison was
well stocked with provisions at the
time of the capture. A large part Of
the German ammunition was used
long before the actual siege began, !,
Sister elizabeth said she saw but
little of the. actual fighting, as she was
indoors the greater part Of the time
caring for the wounded She declined
to tell the number Of Germans killed
during the engagement
We were very glad when we saw
the steamer depart with the women
and children aboard" she said. THAT
was August %. There were six Ger
man nurses at Tsingtau and 35 pri-
yate nurses came and helped US after
the fighting had commenced. There
was plenty of food, enough to last a
long time. There was not very much
ammunition, but 1t was not the lack
of this that caused the Germans to
surrender. It was the overwhelming
odds which they were lighting against.

BLOCKS
Fight TO REMOVE
Lane APPOINTEES
Supervisors P0WerIess to Re-
consider Approval of White
house and Aylett

On technical legal point hangs the
question of whether the board of SUI
pervisors can force reconsideration
of the appointment of several new
city officials by Mayor Lane. The
principal appointees involved are L. NJ.
Whitehouse, named to succeed City
Engineer WALL and K. w. Aylett,
named superintendent of the garbage
system.
According to City and County Clerk
Kalauokalanf a section In the munici.
pal charter, section 131, prevents such
This section reads:
ANY city and county officer may
remove from office any deputy, assist
ant or clerk appointed by him. And
any officer who shall have been ap-
pointed by the mayor with the approx
al of the board of supervisors, may
be removed by the same authority" !"
A territorial statute gives the super
visors power to reconsider any action,
but according to Kalauokalani this
power does not extend to. approval of
appointments. The only way, accord
i4g to him, that Whitehuuse and Ayt
EFT could be forced out Of office would
be their removal byeMayor Lane and
the supervisors approval of that re-
moval. The initiative. he says, must
be. taken by the mayor and Until the
mayor does something their hands are
tied.
Inasmuch as some of the supervisors
have indicated a positive intention of
making a fight to have Wall remain
in office and especially to force out
Aylett because of his past record, 1t
is possible that expert legal advice

BOOM in CITY
BUILDINGS IS
NOW PREDICTED
Settlement of Federal Site to
Hasten important Construc-
ton Projects

Stirred by the good news published
In the Star Bulletin yesterday that the
federal building bill had passed the
lower house of Congress and the mil
lion-dollar structure would soon be
started, businessmen of the city pre-
dict much real estate activity as a
direct result.
The federal governments choice of
either the Irwin or the Spreckels site
for the building viii leave the Mahuka
site, In the heart of the business dis.
trict, available for general business
uses. 1t is prophesied that when the
government auctions off this valuable
piece of property the bidding will be
keen.
An unconfirmed report is that the
government will fix an upset price Of
y200,G00 on the Mahuka site. Real
estate experts this morning declared
that Uncle Sam viii have no trouble
getting rid of the property at this fig-
ure and it is generally believed that
the size will bring considerably more.
The real estate men generally do not
wish to put any figure on the property
value now, stating tnat they them
selves are likely to be bidders.
In 1907 the Mahuka site was bought
by the government for $1U4, ,125. Hence
during the seven years delay in defi-
nitely getting a site, the property has
increased at least 100000 in value. 3
A well-informed businessman said
today that he looks to see a banking
center established around the Mahuka
site, particularly IL the treasury de-
paftment chooses the Spreckels site
l6r the federal building. The First
National Bank might hasten plans to
put up building on its property at
Merchant and Bisnop streets and part
of the MAhuka site might be taken
by another bank, il was intimated.
The real estate men are optimistic
over the prospects for activity in busi-
ness property as soon as Uncle Sam
signs q contract for the erection OF
the building. Several important con-
struction projects have hung fire large
ly because of the delay IN the fed
eral building.

he did not want any such document
to be entered upon the inperishabie
court files. He asked that he be given
two days in which to give the written
instrument q more careful perusal and

as reflection upon his reputation, he
would fight IL; IL he did not, he might
enter no opposition.

Attorney Milverton then arose and
introduced Attorney J. w. Catheart az
associate counsel for the father, Hen

Inquired the court.
"We represent the father" said Mil.
verton, land we believe we have
right to present certain matters to
your honor, IL this motion 10 to be
considered. There are certain state
ments in that motion which we de-
clare are not true facts"
Olson Immediately took umbraae at
this. He had filed an affidavit with
the motion, In which he swore TO lie
statements as facts, 90 far az he knew.
Cathcart, q moment later, reiterated
MiIverton's declaration, that there
were statements in the motion and
affidavit which he and his associates
believed they could show were not
true.
Henry Gaillard Smart, defendant in
litigation brought by Mrs. Elizabeth j.
Knight, mother of Mrs. Annie T. K.
Parker Smart, arrived in Honolulu in
company with one of his attorneys, F.
w. Milyerton, after short visit with
his baby son on Hawaii, this morning.
Smart had nothing to say on his
arrival He and Mr.. Milverton re.
mained In Hawaii only few days, but
whatever movements were undertaken

secret.
