REPORTED DROWNING
AT WAIKIKi HAS NO
VERIFICATION HERE

Rumors that q man had been
drowned while diving from the diving
platform at the Outfigger Canoe Club
Sunday seem to have no foundation
as inquiry from all possible sources
has failed to throw any light on the
situation.
No report of any drowning accident
at Waikiki has been filed with the
sheriff or police for nearly month.
The rumor apparently started two
weeks ago with two women who said
q man had dived from the platform
and they believed he had not come up.
Others exaggerated the statement un-
til the report was that the diver had
been drowned. A soldiers body was
found on the beach several months
ago but no drownings have been re-
ported there since then.
]. A. Beavens, secretary of the club,
said today he was swimming at the
Outrigger Sunday afternoon until 6:15
p. m, and that there was no accident
occurring or rumored while he was
there. Treasurer L. c. Thompson said
he has had no report, but had heard
a vague rumor two weeks ago which
he did not believe true.

HAWAII FRIENDS
DECEIVED Lane,
GREGORY, CLAIM
For This Reason Were Not
Open to Attack by Judge
Stuart, Asserts Wilson

John H. Wilson, Democratic ma:
ticnal committeeman, practically
agrees with L. l.: McCandless in the
position the latter has taken with re-
gard to Circuit Judge T. B. Stuarts
personal letter to the president
AS TO the letter. McCandless said:
Il might have said the same things
to some extent, but in a different
way"
Wilson says: THE local party has
already supported all his statements,
but does not approve of the way he
vent at it, ....s
That Judge Stuart's letter to the
president, in which the latter is
criticized and in which Secretary of
the Interior Lane and Attorney-Gen
eral Gregory are attacked, Is "all
right in a way but uncalled for" is
Wilson's opinion of the communica-
tion, as expressed by him to the
Star-Bulletin today. -
"0fficials in Washington know what
was going on in Hawaii" says Wilson.
Stuart has made similar statements
to them before, but not in letter
torn" -.'@ "
He goes on to say that the party
here, presumably meaning the Nc.
Candless-Wilson faction of the Bour.
bons, has already supported all of the
statements made by Judge Stuart in
his letter, but that cit does not APP
prove of the way he went at IL"
I'VE were not consulted by Judge
Stuart regarding the letter." he de-
clares. HE felt that it was none
of our business, / guess. 1t was his
own idea, as far as / know
His attack on Lane and Gregory
Is not approved, but outside of that
he. told the truth. We knew that both
Lane and Gregory had been deceived,
and the fact that Lane and Gregory
were deceived by their friends should
not warrant abuse from me or from
any member of the party including
Stuart. -,
"One can be fooled lot easier by
his friends than by his enemies, and
know as matter ofsfact that Lam
and. Gregory were deceived by
friends.
Friends in Hawaii?" the interview.
cd queried.
i won't say" Wilson concluded,
but in one case it was by friends

ports from Pauahi street are that Nc
