No DATE REACHED
FOR NEXT TRIAL
IN THE WADE CASE

1t remains for Judge 2. A. Little
john to set a date for the next trial OF
one Of the five defendants now in jail
charged with the murder of Walter
Wade
A conference was held yesterday at
the suggestion of Judge Littlejohn
when it was thought that time would
be agreed upon to call the next de-
fendant, expected to be DR.. Charles K
Chapman, who when tried several
weeks ago the jury caused a mistrial
The state announced ready at any
time to go to trial, and it is said sug-
geetc1 February 18TH. 1t is said that
tte attorncy~ fer the defense had no
comment to make on this date, and
cid not suggest a date themselves
which left the conference devoid of an
agreement for the time of calling the
case.
Judge Littlejohn stated that he
would select the time for calling the
next case and notify the attorneys on
both sides.
1t will be recalled that a confer
erce of the attorneys was held on
January goth, following the mistrial in
the case which was declared on jan
uary 18th. At that time the state an
ncunced ready, while the defense stat.
ed that because of the absence OF
Frank Hooper, the leading counsel.
they could not discuss or agree to a
date. At that time Judge Littlejohn
voiced a desire to have the attorneys
agree on a date which probably caus-
ed the conference yesterday. The lack
cf decision prompted Judge Littlejohn
to announce that he would select the
DAY for calling the case.
Five Men In Jail.
The defendants who have been in
Jail are DR.. Chapman, W. l. Johnson,
c. X. Chapman, Jr., Walter Johnson
and John Ethridge. After the jury in
the case of DR.. Chapman retired for

NO CHANGE IN HER
U-B0AT POLICY MADE
Unofficial Report
Secured About
The Note

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10.-lt
is understood that Germany has ad-
dressed a note to the United States
suggesting a discussion to prevent war
between these two nations.
1t is believed that the note has prob
ably been forwarded through the Swiss
government although information re-
aarding the channel is lacking.
1t is understood that Germany
makes clear in the note that she great
ly desires peace. The preliminary
outline of the communication does not
indicate that the note carries any sug-
gestion that Germany may modify her
submarine policy.
1t was said before the campaign that
German diplomats informed some OF
the nations that care would be taken
not TO attack neutral ships without
warning.
Germany is understood to have made
it clear that although diplomatic re-
lations have been broken she greatly
desires that peace be maintained. Pre-
liminary outlines regarding the COM
munication do not indicate that it car
ries with it any suggestion that Ger
many may modify her submarine war
fare. However, the whole communica-
ton is said clearly to invite this gov
ernment to make suggestions regard
ing steps it thinks might prevent war.
In connection with the coming com
munication, information received here
is to the effect that while Germany
was arranging for her new campaign
of unrestricted submarine warfare.
certain diplomats in various parts OF
the world were informed that while
military necessity" prevented the
granting of period in which neutrals
might adjust their maritime interests,
every care would be exercised so that
neutral passenger carrying ships
would not be subjected 10 uhWaFieu
torpedo attack.
Want Treaty Affirmed.
The Swiss minister, Dr. Paul Ritter.
in charge of Germany's diplomatic in
terests in the United States, was to-
Gay requested by the Berlin foreign Of
fee to ask the state department for
an affirmation of the Prussian- Ameri =
can treaty Of 1928.
The German government made
similar request of former Ambassador
Gerard. which he referred to formal
dinIomatic channels.
The treaty provides that in the event
of war between Germany and the Unit
ed states. citizens of each country in
the other, shall have nine months to
close up their affairs and depart In
safety. 1t also gives guarantees for
property.
The government here already mas

the United States in reference to a

500 A. M.-High School Conference.
900 A. M.-Declamation Contests
followed by announcement of winners
and awarding of prizes.
Thirteen medals and several pen
nants will be awarded the winners in
the various contests. Besides, the
winners will have the privilege of at
tending the State Meet in Athens dur
ing June, 1927, with part of their
expenses paid by the Association The
winners from the Congressional Dis
tricts of the state will compete in Ath-
ems for the grand state prizes.
Pole Vault is New
A new event in the athletic contest
this year is the pole vault. 1t was
agreed by the executive committee that
12-foot pole should be used at the
meet. FIX. Foss, of Cornell Univers-
ity, once cleared a bar which was 12
feet high, but it is not expected that
any high school vauIter of the Third
District will be able to vault higher
than ten feet. A bamboo pole will be
used and the vault will be made on
soft ground, so that the danger in this
beautiful and thrilling event will be
reduced to a minimum.
A rule which was put into effect last
year for the first time, and which it
was agreed should be enforced this
year at the meet, is that there shall be
nc noisy demonstrations or yells al
lowed in the auditorium at any of the
exercises of the Association. This rule.
while not especially pleasong to the
enthusiastic representatives of some of
TIE schools, eliminates a feature that
is discordant to the general spectator.
These annual District High School
meets are not only big educational ex-
hibitions, but they are educational re-
yivals. By encouraging emulation
the one principle that has made the
best educational system in the world
they stimulate every school and every
student in the District

HAWAII COLLEGE
STUDENTS PLAN
FOR SCHOOL YEAR
Outside Activities Are to Be
Broadened and Impetus
Given to Athletics

Anticipat ting a more active year than
ever before, students and members OF
the faculty Of the College OF Hawaii
gathered at the Outrigger Club Satur-
day night to make preliminary ar
rangements.
To look into the organization OF the
outside activities of the students OF
the college with particular attention
to the extension of their scope,
committee Of six students was ap-
pointed at the meeting. Those ap-
pointed we're Miss Katherine Blake.
Miss Jannett Sharp, Mrs. Herbert S.
Walker, George Bromley, Harry Den
ison and Charles Poole.
Among other things it will be the
duty Of this committee to have made
a College Of Hawaii button which will
be worn by the students. 1t will not
only serve as a college insignia, but
will be used to take the place of tags
formerly given the members OF the
college athletic association emitting
them to admission to all athletic con-
tests.
With Atherton Gilman a prospective
football coach for the coming season
and plans made for a new tennis
court, the college is looking forward
to a big year in athletics. Mr.. Gilman
was formerly a Harvard football play
er, was chosen for All-American tackle
by Walter Camp two years ago and
elected captain of the Harvard team.
He did not return to Harvard the next
year, however, going to Annapolis to
assist in the coaching of the team
there. He had made plans to go to
Wisconsin this fall when Paul With
ington, also an island boy, who
coached Wisconsin last year, expected
to return. Mr.. Gilman is now making
plans to enter the officers training
camp which opens this summer, but
should he not 60 there, it is probable
that he will coach the college of Ha-
waii team.
A shortage of funds is the only
thing that stands in the way Of new
tennis court To meet this the stu
dents have planned to give some sort
of entertainment every month. One
or two. plays will be given during the
year and q glee club will be organ
lied for the first time.
.":The Development of this line OF
activity must be commensurate with
the growth Of the college, said Mrs.
walker, wife of Prof. H. S. Walker OF
the college, who is leading in the work
for greater outside activity. THE
students are doing their part Of the
work eagerly, and the one thing that
stands in the way of our progress is
a lack Of funds. This we are over.
coming to the best ability OF US all"
The girls Of the college made the
arrangements for the dinner which
was held at the Outrigger Club. Fol
lowing the dinner an informal dis
cussion of plans for the year was held
and the reorganization committee ap-
pointed. Among those present were
Prof. and Mrs. A. L. Andrews, Prof.
and Mrs. Herbert S. Walker, Miss
Grace Morgan, Miss Katherine Blake,
Miss Jannett Sharp, Charles Poole,
Harry Denison and Sidney Nicholson.

JOYLAND CIRCUS
Still FAVORITE

While there is no reason for fear
on the part Of the management OF
either Ringing Brothers or Barnum
and Bailey as a result OF the activi-
ties OF the Joyland Circus. the attrac-
ton par excellence at the Bijou the
alter, there is no doubt but that the
purveyors OF amusement in Hawaii
will be green with envy that it was
not they who first thought OF intro
duCing a circus in the crossroads Of
the Pacific after a drought OF Is
years standing.
There are two classes Of people
who attend circuses, boys and girls.
between the ages Of and 100. Both
of these classes have been in atten-
dance at the Bijou during the last
several evenings and on Saturday af-
ternoon. The latter mentioned occa-
sion called largely for the attendance
Of the younger boys and girls, al
though there was a sprinkling Of older
folks present. The latter posed as
care-takers of the former. but that
was merely a blIfi and fine excuse
to be on hand.
There is no age limit to the appre'
citation of the circus. The tired bust
nessman and the tired society matron
are equally as we'll pleased with the
performance of the clowns, etc, as is
the neWsboy on the corner. The
newsboy is rarely on the corner when
a circus is in town as he feels that his
place is at the circus to fill in IN any
emergency that might arise.
The Joyland Circus proves a real
surprise to all. There were but few
followers of amusement but we're
skeptical when the announcement OF
a circus was first made. A major
ity thought it would be a farce and
a failure. The minds OF all who have
sat through a performance have been
changed. They vote it immense.

Strong DRAMA At
LIBERTY THEATER

"Out of the Wreck" is the rather
gruesome title of the Oliver MOrosco
feature film now showing at the Lib
erty theater It Is a strong drama
but not near so gruesome as the name
would indicate, although filled with
tense scenes and situations. Kathlyn
Williams is the featured star and she
is appearing in role that is decidedly
a change for this artist as she is best
remembered for her work in animal
pictures, especially in serials.
The story is based on a famous muir
der trial, related to the author, Maud
E. Corsan, by a prominent attorney.
Unconsciously, the story carries
vivid indictment of the liquor evil, al
though it makes no pretense Of be-
ing a temperance picture or sermon.
1t deals with a candidate for the SEN
ate and the efforts of opponents to
discover a flaw in his life or that of
his wife. 1t is found in the past of
the wife.
The wife tells her story in vivid
manner. She relates the death of
her parents, her meeting with young
man, their marriage which she later
learns is illegal, how this man grad
ually becomes a victim OF drink and
how, to save her own life, she shoots
him. After trial and acquittal she
becomes a mission worker; meets her
husband and enjoys . happy life I'M
til the storm breaks.
That newspaper editors are human
beings is proven by the fact that the
sight is dropped on the political op-
ponent and the story of the wifes past
never sees print.

CROOK PLAY IS
SEEN At HAWAII

1t is not infreQuent that detective
turns crook but for the reverse to
happen is rather unusual, but as it is
the unusual that makes the popularity
of photo dramas, The Phantom" the
Hawaii theater feature, should prove
a big attraction. Especially is this
true as Frank keenan, and Enid Mar
key are the featured actors.
keenan, is cast as Phantom" Far
rell, a crook of the famous Raffles
type who defies the activities Of the
police to effect his capture. They are
suspicious Of Farrell, but can fasten
nothing onto him. AS a consequence
they follow the course Of least res1s:
lance, so popular with the police, and
order him out of town. Through the
use of the business card of the COM
missioner who gives the order, Farrell
is enabled to gain entrance to the sum-
mer home Of the wealthy James Bere-
ton. Here he expects to appropriate
the pearl necklace owned by Avice
Bereton.
Farrell commits a fatal error and
falls in love with his intended vic
tim. He gives up the idea of purloin'
ing the jewels which are stolen in
stead by Radcliffe, friend of Avice's
brother, BERTHE. Radcliffe has BERTHE
in his power through gambling debts.
Farrell scents the theft and foils the
plot of the doctor, only to find that
the police commissioner has followed
him to the Bereton home Farrell,
however, finds no difficulty in outwit-
ting the police and his getaway" in
this instance is as spectacular as the
balance of the gripping story.
