nine feet long, bearing at its upper END
a crosspiece to which number OF
equidistant vertical spikes are at

DECISION IN
SMART PLEA IS
EXPECTED SOON
Attorney CarISmith Back From
Coast Finds Some JuStifica-
ton for Bigger Allowance

Attorney Carl S. Carlsmith of Hilo
returned today on the Maui from San
Francisco, where he went TO take ties
timony as master in chancery for the
Smart estate. His special object was
to secure accurate first hand informa-
ton which would enable him to make
findings either for or against the Pc
dtion OF Mrs. Elizabeth knight, grand.
mother OF little Richard Smart, orphan
heir to the great estate OF the late
Thelma Parker Smart, his mother. He
was appointed master of chancery by
Circuit TaIcc Ashfor3.
Mrs. knights petition asks that the
sum for little 2icnard's maintenance
be increased from $1,000 20 $4,000 per
year. 1t was to determine whether an
increase, and If so, how much, is
necessary that Attorney t:arlsmith
went to San Francisco recently and
investigated the manner in which
Richard is being brought up under lis
grandmother's care.
The attorney expected today 10 give
opportunity for Attorney D. L. With
fngton, representing Mrs. knight, and
Attorney w. T. Robinson, c.present-
ing the Trent Trust company, which
administers the Smart estate, to pre-
sent arguments before him relative to
Mrs. knights petition. Following this
he will formulate his findings and pre-.
sent them to Judge Ashford. This
will be a matter Of several days, it is
expected.
While the attorney has not yet
made his findings, he has said unoffic-
tally that Mrs. Knight is not living in
an extravagant scale, which may be
taken as an indication that some JUS
LITIGATION may be found for her plea
that much larger sum be allowed for
Richards support and education than
was necessary when, at the age OF
less than two years. he was orphaned
of his mother and became the center
of the most sensational and bitter will
litigation that has been in local
courts for a generation.

WILL CALL BIDS SOON
ON WAl0EAMA FILL

w. R. Hobby, superintendent of pub
lie works, announced today that the
territory is preparing to issue a call
for bids on the Ponahawaii extension
of the Waiolama fill, Hilo.
Data collected on the district will
be presented to the board of health in
a short time so that condemnation
proceedings may begin. This work
will be done under separate contract
from the main Waiolama job which
is almost completed. 1t will require
the filling of some 10000 or $4,000 Gu
bic yards. The present job is being
delayed owing to lack of material for
filling. Weather is a big factor in
bringing in this material from the sea
and favorable weather has been lack
ing for some time.
The Ponohawaii extension lies on
the Hilo side of the spur track and
when finished will complete the whole
reclamation project for that section.

patriotic cause, this sum being added
to by later donations until $3.50 was
reached. The passengers voted to
give this through the Honolulu Red
Cross branch.
Immediately after the steamer
locked the money was forwarded to
