Kuhio's Threat
Ends 9Hawaiian
.Sextet' Frauds

Delegate Kuhio has effectually
shown up" o counterfeit Hawaiian
sextet" in Washington. and under the
threat Of prosecution by the Capital
City police, the pscudo-natives have
changed an act which proved offensive
to Hawaii residents.
Robert w. Breckons, Republican ma,
tional committeeman. and companion
of Prince Kuhio in Washington, tells
the story in private letter received
by yesterdays mail.
Bob" went to Washington thea.
ter to see q much-advertised Hawaii
an sextet. Prince Kuhio had previ
cusly said he was convinced the act
was a fraud. Breckons saw immedi
ately they were not Hawaiians at ali
and that false advertising was being
used on the public After ascertain
ing by some amateur detective work
that they had never seen Hawaii. he
told Jack Desha, the delegates secre.
tary, and Angus Erly, wellknown
Washington newspaperman, and they
prepared to make a complaint to the
police. Kuhio had all the members
Of the troupe taken before the police
authorities and the alleged Hawaiians
admitted that Chicago was the limit
CT their western travels and blamed
the false advertising on the manager
OF the ueater.
The management, Breckons writes
Is now doing all Il can to avoid prose.
