IT'S your next move"

It's your next move"
That was the unspoken but obvious
sentiment at the offices of attorneys
for the defense in the fight commenc-
ed by Mrs. Elizabeth J. Knight against
Henry Gaillard Smart for possession
of the latter's baby son, Richard. The
your" referred to the attorneys for
the plaintiff, Mrs. Knight
Those who have been watching the
case closely, as well as the counsel
for Smart, are awaiting the expected
filing Of another suit, this one to con-
test the legality of the last will and
testament filed by the attorneys for
Smart yesterday. -.>>-
At a late hour today this expected
suit had not been filed, although it
was indicated that it might be offered
in the court records at any time this
afternoon.
1t is expected that the allegations
of undue influence on his girl.wife,
made against young Smart by Mrs.
Knight, will be reiterated as a logical
basis Of attack upon the will.
Hearing on ther's Birthday.
A coincidence in the present litiga-
tion over the 19-monthsIold son of
Henry Gaillard Smart is the fact that
Circuit Judge Whitney has set the
date for hearing of the petition of
Richard Smart, the child through C.
H. Olson, his next friend" on the
birthday of his dead mother, Thelma
Parker Smart. ~.~. :. H..
Mrs. Smart was born on March II,
st. Patrick's Day, and it is on that
date that the petition will be heard.
When Mrs. Smart's birthday was
mentioned at the offices OF Thompson,
Wilder, Milverton & tLymer today, Mr..
Thompson recalled another act coin
cident with Mrs Smart's birthday.
you, will note that the irrevocable
trust deed executed by Mrs. Smart,
then Miss Parker, in favor of herself
and her mother, was made on April
25, 1872" said Mr.. Thompson. This
was five weeks after Thelma Parker's
18th birthday, the age of majority.
THAT explains exactly why the
plaintiff in this suit wants to get
knight, through the trust deed which
Thelma Parker executed shortly after
her 18th birthday, Is provided for in
an income of $500 or more a month
as long as she lives, regardless of any
or court order. If the child
is in her possession and the will is
declared null and void, perhaps, you
see, the child might be induced to
make a similar trust deed when-he
reaches his majority" =
Knight Urges Litigation. ~ r.
A peculiar feature of the litigation
is the fact that if the will is declared
null and void, Annie T.. K Parker
Smart's step-father, Frederick S.
Knight, will lose $25, 1000 bequeathed to
him in the will filed yesterday.
I'VE understood that right along"

Hearty support of the plan for the
establishment Of a better public ac-
counting system for Hawaii is given
by Governor Pinkham to the Chamber
of Commerce and the Ad Club, which
have headed the campaign among the
downtown organizations.
In two letters directed to the cham

the trustees this afternoon, the gov
ernop evidences his support of the
idea. He takes the emphatic stand
that there Is no necessity of sending
to the mainland for an expert and sug
gests further that II. Gooding Field

Hawaii needs to look after the details
of the proposed changes in accounting
systems. . -. i.
The governor asks the chamber to
consider advancing the funds to get
the work going, indicating that when
the legislature meets a territorial ap-
preparation will be asked.
The two letters to the chamber are
as follows:
