for Many Friends

A community gathering or unusual
interest and enjoyment brought to-
gether last night residents OF Manoa

was not only a municipal but a social
function of delightfully."- informal ma,
ture.
Residents of Manoa, particularly
those living near the park, kept open
house throughout the evening. The
residences were gaily lighted and at
each was a host or hostess waiting
to receive friends. Many very infor-
NAL little receptions were held, the
guests going from house to house for
few moments OF greeting, while dur.
ing the evening the residents also
visited around" .. Ks
Mayor Lane and the board of super
visors adjourned their deliberations
early and attended the latter part OF
tie concert. They we're guests 1T the
hospitable home of TT. and Mrs. J =.
Young, where, throughout the even.
ing, a large number OF Manoa folks
and visiting friends we're entertained.
, To add to the celebrant character of
| the event, it was the day of the home
coming of Mr.. Young from a business
trip to the mainland. He arrived on
the Wilhelmina yesterday and many
friends took occasion last night to call
and bid him aloha" @i.'lt.. r.. ,
More than 100 people called during
the evening at the Young home. A
big punchbowl and other refreshments
eyinced the hospitality dispensed to
all corners until long after the band
had played its farewell selections:
The concert itself was one of the
most enjoyable given by the band in
years. II was q perfect moonlight
night and the bandsmen in their white
uniforms, seated under large tree
upon the Manoa park grass, with the
lights through the park and the lights
from the many autos clustered around,
made an exceedingly pretty picture.
The feature of the band program
was the Echo" composition, which is
said to date back to the days of King

ing part and then from far away up
the moonlit hillside there floated down
q silvery echo. The main band again
took up the melody and when it paus-s
ed. from another direction came an
other sweet and lingering echo. A
third echo sounded shortly after and
then each was repeated as the band
proceed. The effect was extremely
beautiful and Bandmaster Peter Kala-
nj and his bandsmen were heartily ap-|
plauded.
Park Superintendent Werra, who
had worked hard for the success of the
evening, was complimented for his
efforts, as we're the mayor and super
yisors Mayor Lane and Supervisors

The evening WAS such pronounced
success that the mayor says it GER
tainly will be repeated and Manoa

GUM ASKS FOR PROOF
THAT HE INTENDED TO
/. " ABANDON YOUNGSTERS

Accused of boarding the Chinyo
Maru with the intention of going to
Japan with his second wife and leaV-
ing his first wife and two children
without means of support, Joseph
Quni maintained this morning in the
police court that his intentions could
not be proved and as he had not up to
the time of his arrest failed to pay
his wife part of his weekly salary, he
was not guilty of any crime. Judge
Monsarrat withheld decision until to-
morrow. >%~-
To assist the city aid county attor-
ney's office in the prosecution Attor-
news Frank Andrade and c. F. Peter
son appeared, and for the defense
Lorrin Andrews and w. j. Sheldon.
The case was fought on legal techni-
calities.
The defense commended that Quni
had paid alimony as ordered by the
circuit court, up to the day OF sailing,
and therefore had not failed to obey
the court order, while the prosecution,
putting aside the question OF alimony,
claimed Quni was trying to leave Oahu
without providing for the support OF
his children and that he was charged
with the support of the children by
the statutes, and without relation to
the order of any court. ....- :
