ORDER
.STOPSWORk ON
KAIMUKI PARK
]. 3. Lightfoot Brings Injunc-
ton Against County on the
Ground That Dirt, Dust and
Blasting Are Damaging His
Property

Circuit Judge ALhford has signed
decree temporarily enjoining the c1ty
and county from employing prison OF
other labor for work on Kaimuki PARK
until such a time as a suit for inJunc-
ton which has been filed in circuit
court by J. B. Lightfoot against the
city is finally disposed of.
Mr.. Lightfoot, whose home on 1otn
avenue, Kaimuki, adjoins kalmuKl
Park and is in the rear Of the home OF
Supervisor Ben Hollinger, alleges in
his petition that for the last three
months prisoners have been employed
by the city and county to clear and
level the park, owned by Thomas Hol-
lfnger, father of the supervisor. On
many occasions, he says, the prisoners
have burned shrubs and weeds and
that the smoke has been blown into his
house, greatly annoying himself and
his wife. He further alleges that, as
a result of blasting. large pieces OF
stone and rock have been thrown upon
his premises, and that 1t has made 1t
unsafe for him and his family to &C.
eupy their yard. And because Of the
dirt that has drifted in, Mr.. Lightfoot
continues, he and his wife have had
to cease to use their home to great
extent, and that they have been un-
able to receive visitors or entertain
their friends. He goes on to say that
they have been forced to keep the
windows closed, and have thereby
greatly suffered from heat and lack
of proper ventilation.
I. The complaint further alleges that,
during this time, persons working for
the city and county have continually
watered and kept damp the soil around
Mr.. Hollinger's house. Mr.. Lightfoot
asserts that some time ago he re-
quested that the ground around his
house be likewise dampened, but that
his request was refused.
In the concluding paragraphs Of the
complaint, Mr.. Lightfoot says:
THAT by reason of the fact of the
laggard action and slowness with
which said prisoners work, that your
petitioner will suffer great annoyance,
damage and disturbance in the use of
great perio dof time, to wit: for the
period of six months or more.
THAT unless said respondent, and
its servants and agents, are enjoined
by an order of this honorable court
from so using, working upon and using
the aforesaid premises of said Thomas
Hollinger, as to annoy, disturb and
damage your petitioner that your pc
titioner will suffer 1rreparable dam:
age, harm and injury; that said re-
spondent, by using and working I'm and
upon said premises as aforesaid, are
maintaining a public nuisance to the
injury, damage and annoyance of your
petitioner"
Supervisor Hollinger said today that
he Is aware Of the fact that prisoners
are being employed to clear Kaimuki
Park, but that he knows of no request
having been made for the dampening
OF the land about the Lightfoot resi-
dence to keep down the dust and dirt.

LOCAL TEST
O.K.FORU.
REGISTRANTS
Attorney Rules Men in Hawaii
But Drafted on the Mainland
May Be Examined Here

Men in Honolulu who have register
ed on the mainland for military SER
vice, and who have been notified that
their names have been drawn in the
selective draft, need not return to the
states to take their physical examina'
tons
This fact has been pointed out by
+ District Attorney s. c. Huber for the
purpose Of clearing up a doubt that
apparently exists in the minds OF men
now in the city who registered away.
II believe the fact should be given
publicity" says the district attorney,
as it does not yet seem to be quite
clear"
Two cases that have come before
the U. S. attorney recently prompted
him to request publicity on the point
One was the case of a young man,
now in the city, who registered in
California and who was notified that
he had been drafted. He questioned
the district attorney regarding the ne
cessity Of his having to go back to
California for his physical examina-
ton, intimating that, If the trip was
necessary, he might have to seek fl
nancial assistance. At the same time,
the young man expressed a doubt
that he would be able to pass the ex-
animation. The other case was one
of a young man who registered in
New York and who has been drafted
in that state. The question wheth-
er he would have to return there for
his physical examination was raised
by him
In both cases the district attorney
explained that the point in question
already has been fully covered, and
that both men, or any others in the
same situation, should report to the
central registration board for their ex.
animation.

NAMED throughout, received hearty
applause

tirely new to the soldiers present, but
the heartiness with which it was
sung argurs we'll for its future pop

ITEMS OF INTEREST
In AND ABOUT TOWN
Happenings of the Day in Va
rious Parts of the Ma
tion's Capital.

Sorority girls at George Washing
ton University have found it so diff
cult to get young man students TO
escort them home from teas, suppers,
fudge parties, dansants, and initia-
tions that the four sororities at the
institution have changed the hour
for festivities from night to after
noon.
Heaven knows what the trouble
is said a dainty coed today, but
fellows around this place are as
scarce as volunteers for the army.
And We girls are afraid to go home
in the dark. Not only that, but
mother raises the dickens when we
come home unescorted. Dear me. I
wonder what's eating these George
Washington boys! Do they think we
girls haven't any class, or do they
spend their evenings studying, or
playing poker. or bOwling?"
Just two months ago the sorority
girls sent out an ultimatum to the
effect that they would quit cheering
at basketball games unless they were
furnished with escorts to take them
home following the games. The S
o s was answered by a half dozen
chivalrous students.
Now, all this naturally has pro-
voked the girls. Consequently they
have become irritated. upset. inde-
pendent: they have grown radical.
They have announced that hereafter
their organizations are to be known
as "fraternities" instead of "soror-
tiles" to distinguish them from the
high school sororities. which are
looked down upon as frivolous,
trif1ing, silly.
