$4,000 A YEAR
NEEDED TO keep
4:YEAR.OLD BOY

1t is going to cost at least $4,000 q
year to support four-year-old Richard
Smart, son Of the late Thelma T. K
Parker Smart and Henry Gaillard
Smart
This is indicated in a petition which
has been filed in circuit court by Mrs
Elizabeth ]. Knight, guardian Of the
child, in which she asks that the
youngsters allowance be increased
from $4,000 to five times that amount
annually. The order allowing $4,000
was granted in 1915. Mrs. knight says
that young Smart's income last year
was $S7,314 and that it is increasing.
The petition goes on to say that the
house Mrs. Knight is maintaining for
young Smart in San Francisco, exclu-
sive of the employment of a governess
and the use Of motor cars, and includ
ing rent, costs $565 a month. She
pays a governess $40 a month and is
spending 500 month for motors.
His clothes, says Mrs. Knight, cost
$500 a year, and she believes an extra
$3.50 should be allowed to give young
Smart vacation once a year.
Because of tie ancestry of said
child" reads the petition, and its
large interests in the territory, and
strengthening the aloha which the
child now has for Hawaii" she says
he is calling himself an American
Hawaiian-"it is advisable that said
minor should be taken to Hawaii at
least once each year"
The cost of such a trip would only
be about 1858, says the petition, in
GLIDING maids and motors. Mrs.
knight also says a new automobile
should be purchased at cost of $500,
and that $3.50 a month should be al
lowed for its maintenance. She adds
that she thinks $4,000 a year would
about cover young Smart's needs.

AMBASSADOR
OFITALY TO
JAPAN HERE

LIE Marquis CusanI Confalonieri,
new ambassador to Japan from Italy,
is a passenger aboard the T. K. K.
liner in port today, bound for his
diplomatic post at Toxic. For four
years, from 1911 to 1915, he was the
Italian ambassador to America, but
asked to be relieved two months be-
fore Italy declared war against Aus
tria in May, 1915. He explains he
realized Italy was certain to enter
the conflict against her ancient enemy
and that he wanted to be in his ma
tive land so he could volunteer when
war was declared.
Reticent to the point of absolute
silence, when asked to tell of his ex-
periences during his two years Of &C
tive service as a captain of dragons,
in the Italian cavalry, the marquis
shifts all questions with a shrug OF
his shoulders and a broad, but en-
gaging smile. 1t Is his smile which
is the new ambassadors most appar.
ent characteristic. He radiates jov
iality-a disarming diplomatic weap-
on-with all the sincerity of trained
American politician in campaign time.
1T is not the part of diplomat to
talk of war or of his personal exper-
fences on the war front. 1t is bet
ter that he talk of peace which is
to come after the war" he said with
friendly smile at his interviewer's
disconcertment
Urged then to talk of peace, he
evaded an answer with just as much
friendliness, hazarding no guess as to
the eventual terms or as to the dura-
ton of the war.
To questions as to the ultimate part
Greece will play in the war, or as to
what might be expected in Russia, the
ambassador responds with the ever
present smile and mock humility by
saying: ''Tefs them the ambassador
is an aged man, who-knows nothing
about matters in which the world is
interested" which, of course, is not
the case.
Only when pressed to describe the
in the Alps between the Ital-
ian and Austrian troops does Mar
quis Confalonieri's face shade to that
of seriousness, as though he was
looking back upon scenes which it
was best to forget.
Yes, the fighting is all in the noun
tains. 1t is Ike, like going up against
a great WALL No, no settled portion
of the Italian territory has been over

WATT, STICKNEY,
SUSPENDED FOR
RUNNING At HILO

John Watt, member of the Cornell
varsity track team, and Joe Stick,
-ney Of the Pan-Pacific club, have
been suspended by the A. A. U. John
Soper, chairman of the local registra-
ton committee, received word from
F. K. Ruben, secretary of the A. A.
T., that these two athletes had been
disqualified by the union for particf
pating in an unsanctioned meet in
Hilo on July 4.
According to Soper, both Messrs.
Watt and Stickney were warned that
they would be taking chances by en-
tering a meet which was not sane
toned, and both Stickney and Watt de-
cided that they would compete mas
much as no professionals were en-.
tered. The ruling from Secretary Ru-
bien upholds the local ruling made
by Soper, and the two athletes will
not be allowed to compete in sarc-
toned events until after a meeting
of the registration committee, which
will take place upon the return of w.
T. Rawlins from the mainland.

The New Rochelle mermaid won the
500 yard championship last year with
ease, covering the distance in sos 20.
This was a record. Miss Galligan
swims a strong easy stroke which
carries her through the water with
only the whisper Of a splash. In the
longer distances she relies upon the
trudgeon crawl with a four beat. She

News Of the burning Of the Rithes

having left the burning ship In small
boats. The captain and crew reached
Port Allen yesterday.
The message to Alexander & Bald.

have been received as to the methods
employed by the crew in getting to
Port Allen, whether by sail or other

carrier The bark was run for sew
eral years on the old Planters Line
and when WEIGH & Co. went out Of
business in 1908 the vessel was pur-
chased by the Matson Navigation Co.
According to Castle & Cooke, the
Rithet was valued at about $400, 900
and was insured.
The Rithet sailed from Mahukona

$50 tons from the Kaeleku plantation,
Hama, Maui, and 250 tons from the

SCOUTS EXPERT At STALKING.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell says that
he was looking at a number Of British
soldiers being trained In how to hide
themselves from the enemy and how
to creep up to him, and was delighted
to see that they were being taught in
the same way that the boy scouts are |;
in fact, a boy scout officer was their
instructor and several boy scouts were
helping.
Going on all fours is dangerous.
The boy scout is skilled in creeping

Ing over the other in turn to the front
the body and legs are kept stiff the
whole time. With a little practice 1t
is wonderful what a pace one can
get up.
English commanding officers at the
front have frequently said that they
find soldiers who have been boy scouts
are specially useful for trench war
fare because they know how to hide
themselves and how to creep about In
the dark without losing their way.
