KUHIO NOT TO
DROP HIS SUIT,
SAYS COUNSEL

That Delegate Kuhio has no inten
ton of dropping the suit which he has
brought against the trustees Of the
Liliuokalani trust, in which he seeks
10 set aside the trust in which the
Queens estate is held, was the EN-
rhatic statement made today by j
Lightfoot, one of his attorneys.
'"rhe delegate intends to push the
suit to finish" said Attorney Light:
foot ANY rumor that he intends to
drop it is without foundation"
A rather vague report has been go
ing the rounds during the last few
days to the effect that, as Liliuoka-
lani has given evidence that she will
oppose the suit, the delegate intends
to drop the matter In her notice of
the appointment of Judge Antonio
Perry as her attorney, the queen de
clared that Kuhio brought the suit
without her knowledge or consent and,
in another document she asked that
the action be dismissed,

As means of fixing Nuuanu ave.

storms such as 1t has suffered twice
this winter, City Engineer George Col.

things he will do in his new office, to

Engineer Collins plans on putting in
a culyert about four by five feet in

avoiding any necessity of closing the

OLD survey OF
KILAUEA PARK
in KUHIO BILL
R. C. Brown Cables on Behalf
of Chamber; BY Mistake
or Intention?

Whether the 1911 survey OF the pro
posed Kilauea national park boundar-
les was purposely or inadvertently
made part Of bill now before Con-
gress providing for the establishment
OF the park, is the Information which
the Chamber Of Commerce IS seeking
TO ascertain from Delegate Kuhio by
cablegram.
That there may be some little mix
up in the bill is the opinion of Secre-
tary Raymond C. Brown, for the rea-
son that, in 1914. new survey OF
the boundaries was made in order
that there might be left out certain
lands which were controlled by pri,
vate persons and over which there
was some dispute.
On Monday Secretary Brown re-.
ceived cablegram from Kuhio ask.
ing the different prices wanted for
privately owned lands within the
boundary of the proposed park. Mr.
Brown wirelessed to L. A. Thurston
who is in IiIo, asking for the vari
Gus details.
Approves Wall Survey.
Mr. Thurston, in reply, recommend
ed that the boundaries Of the park. as
shown in the bill now before Con
gress, be made TO conform,.with a sur,
Ney made by Walter Wall, territorial
surveyor.
Secretary Brown saw Mr.. Wall in
the matter and, in going over the bill,
Wall found that the bill carried sur.
vey that had been made in 1911 by
him. He said that he also had made
a resurvey in 1914, the object being to
leave out certain privately owned land
over which there was dispute.
Mr.. Brown says he was unable to
find anyone who knew II the 1911 sur.
vey was in the bill purposely or by
some mistake. Even the governor did
not know, he says.
Yesterday Mr. Brown sent a cable
gram to Kuhio asking the latter to
hold the bill i'm committee until he an
swers the question why the 1911 sur
vey is in the bill instead of the later
survey of 1914.

New York, Day by Day
BY o. o, MCINTYRE.

New York, Dec a-Those who mourned
for Charlie Case, the vaudeville man,
have found the original Of his sentmen-
tai song which fairly convulsed audi
ences all over the country. Here It Is.
verse by verse:
There once was a poor young girl who
was leaving her country home.
She was going to New York to look for
work.
She had to support the whole family and
keep the wolf from the door.
For her father had fallen down and hurt
his knee.
Just as she was leaving her loving sweet
heart Jack
Said to her: Your love will soon grow
cold"
So just as she was leaving. she made a
solemn vow.
That every night at s o'clock she'd burst
into tears.
One day in New York she was riding on
a trolley.
And a gentleman offered her his seat.
But she refused it with scorn for she
saw he wore a ring
And thought that he might be married
man.
Then up spoke the conductor and said
TN never doubt you more"
And he tore OF his false whiskers, and
1t was Jack!
Just then she received a telegram that
her fathers knee was better.
And an aunt had died and left her SIS. 900.
And speaking of songs the dansants are
playing a new one-step called Keep
Your Eye on the Grille You Love" And
1t shows just what boosting will do for a
song. 1t was introduced just a few weeks
ago by pretty Dorothy Meuther. Before
that it had very little sale. After she
had been singing 1t a week 1t was on sale
and selling like wildfire in all the music
and department stores in town.
Miss Margaret Hawkesworth, a young
society girl dancer who made the Plaza
tea room the rendezvous for the upper
crust, has branched out in a larger
sphere. She is to open the dansant de
luxe In New York. In fact, it will be
about the de luxiest thing in the Lobster
Belt
1t will be called "ParadiEe" and will be
few steps from Broadway on Fifty

artist, has been given carte blanche in
arranging the decorations.
It Is said that the interior decorations
will cost about $4,000 and the electrical
effects another s25,ooo. Nothing but wine
will be served and a single bottle Will
cost enough to feed a hungry East Side
family for a week.

I fell out of my seat laughing, have 1

and the heroine were there.
Here are some of the lines that were

'T amt going to sit thar by that city

Nell"
so it is you. Jasper Hemingway,

city ways. What harm has that gal ever

And in that last act. the girl came
home to beg for mercy. She pleads:

her and spurns her to the very last.

ing at the door. Jack answered the sum-
mons. and. as the door swung back on
its rusty hinges, II made a loud creaEdng
sound. The intruder was an officer. who
informed them that their father had been
killed in q saloon fight, and that he
would call on the following day to take
them to the orphan asylum. When he
had gone, they secretly moaned over the
loss OF their father. for although he was
drunkard. he was their only source Of
income.
They arose early the next morning and
left home. hoping to evade the policeman
who was to take them to the orphan
asylum. The vague thought Of entering
such place was a terror to them. After
walking for some time. they came to a
market, and saw the many fine turkeys
for sale. and many good things to eat
Beautiful women with happy faces were
buying their Christmas supplies This
made Jack and Thelma's hearts sad to
see so many good things to eat, knowing
they could not have any Of them on
Christmas Day. As they walked on, they
came to an old unoccupied house and
sat down to rest
While sitting there a small boy came
riding down the street on a bicycle Pres
emily the wheel struck a stone, throwing
the boy to the ground. Jack saw an auto
mobile racing down the street and rushed
madly across to the boy, pulling him
aside and saving him from being struck
by the machine. The rich man in the
car stepped out to see IL the boy had
been injured and was more than pleased
to see that he had been saved. He
turned to Jack and said:
Son. you did a brave and noble deed
l want to know your name and where
you live that I might remember you"
But Jack said:
"Sir. 1 have no home, and 1 was lust
avoiding the police, as l do not want to
go to the orphan asylum"
The man took Jack, and raising him in
his strong arms, placed him on the seat
in the big machine. He said:
MY boy, 1 want to take you home to
| be my son as 1 have just lost my own
boy and need you"
But 1 cannot, 1 cannot 60 as 1 have
left my sister standing in a door. and l
| cannot leave her behind" was Jacks
| hurried reply.
The rich man crossed the street, and
to his surprise. saw a small girl, ragged
yet beautiful, standing in a doorway. He
took her in his arms and placed her on
the seat in the big machine, beside Jack.
He took them to his big house on the hill
That night the servants tucked them
away in little white bed with pink ano
blue blankets, to arise the next rnorninp
with happy hearts and think of the fine

We Need Conservatism Which
Is Constructive.

"Still doing business at the old
stand" 1t is more than a homely
phrase. It is an impressive and sig
nihcant fact. After week of unprec-
edented events there is no panic.
This morning the President stands at
the head of nation which he alone
has been able to keep on an even keel
through uncommonly rough seas.
Voices are heard from all parts of
the country which indicate that he
has spoken the thought of his fellow
countrymen.
One of the most notable indorse-
ments came indirectly from Mr..
Charles NJ. Schwsb, the president of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, who
was not at all concerned with prais-
ing the President at the moment. His
words came opportunely, for they
were almost simultaneous with the
statements from the State Depart
ment which did so much to puzzle
the country. and Europe, too, but
which did not upset the fundamental
fact of the Presidents stand for
peace and for America.
There is nothing puzzling about
Mr.. Schwab, for he is a man of busi-
ness and a man of imagination and
foresight as we'll. At a dinner in
New York he explained that the
termination of the war would result
in increased prosperity for this coun-
try, rather than in a diminution of
business.
Mr.. Schwab is right, provided a
wise policy is pursued by the admin
istration. Unfortunate blunders must
be reduced in frequency, for they
came rather more often than usual
last week. Business nervousness,
which might easily reach the panic
point, would result in an industrial
collapse which would not only make
Mr.. Schwab false prophet but bring
widespread disaster. A broad policy
of constructive conservatism is what
the country expects from the Presi-
dent

Don't you remember when you were a
boy,
Such wonderful days, all filed with keen
Joy;
out on the hill with your sled you would
Didn't care a buckle how the wind would
blow
Taking your sled, you would start with a
run,
And then take a whopper-wasn't it great
Or some other kid you would take with
you;
I know that did. and I loved It, too.
Or maybe some girl that was sweet on
you.
With eyes like morning that sparkled like
dew,
Would sweetly ask you to give her a
ride;
Surely you would. as your heart swelled
with pride.
Seating her nicely on your old bobsled.
With sides painted green and top painted
red,
You would get a good start. then of you
would go,
Down the steep hill on the glistening
snow.
Then up the hill. with your lauEhins
chatter,
Your childish feet would joyousiy patter.
Yes. those were the days of long, long
ago,
When We were but Kids and played in the
snow.
