WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Without
formal ceremonies the proposed treaty
between the United States, Great Bri
tain, Japan and France was signed by
the heads of the delegations of those
nations yesterday afternoon in the Of
hce of the secretary of state The

tingent upon the construction of

ing zap Secretary Hughes announced
that the controversy has been settled.
Fortlhcation is prohibited but the
mandate remains in Japan and the
United States is given free access for
the purposes of cable communications
with Guam and no licenses are to be
charged the firms laying the cable.
On the eve of his departure for
home Viviani said that the conference
had been brilliant success and all
its major purposes have been accom-
plished or are expected to be soon.
He expects another conference will be
held within year.
Dispatches from Toxic quote Taxa
hashi as saying in regard to the pro-
posed quadruple entente that the Am
erican President must be congratulate
ed on the grandest contribution to
the cause of peace recorded in the his
tory of nations, and he hoped all the
nations would contribute to the cause
n Of
armament in due time.
In discussion of the proposed treaty
it is evident that the "irreconcilables"
who opposed ratification of the Yer
sailles treaty will oppose it's ratifica-
tions but its friends claim they will
have the necessary two thirds and are
confident of its ratification.
President Harding is expected to
send the proposed treaty to the SEN
ate as soon as the American reserva-
tions have been met. Other reserva-
tons will be that the scope of the
treaty shall not be binding on domes-
tic purposes and shall not bind the
United States toward future mandates
in the Pacific.
LaFollette says the treaty has all
the iniquities of the league of nations
with none of the virtues claimed for
it.
Submarine questions are expected
to be the next subject taken up. Wide
ly divergent opinions exist. A cut
to an S-S-5 ratio is the British idea
but Americans hold larger force
is needed for this country because
of its long coast line that must be
defended.

"The Yellow Jacket"
Is Warmly Praised by
Honolulu Art Critic

Posters announcing the coming Of
the Chinese student players with
THE Yellow Jacket" made their ap-
pearance in store windows Saturday
and tickets are being sold by mem
bers of the United Chinese Society.
At the same time it is announced that
the Kahului performance will be held
in the Kahului Theater instead of
teh Territorial Building as was plan
ned when it was first decided that
the Honolulu success would be
brought here.
The student players will go to Hilo
first and stop on Maui on their return
journey, giving three performances
on the Big Island and like number
here.
wv. X. Bassett, reviewing the play
as presented in one of the Honolulu
performances for the Advertiser said :

ese philosophy woven through web
of enhancing fantasy, on the simple
loom of the Chinese drama.

Frances Drake Smith, director and
some thirty Chinese young men and
women who compose the cast, Homo
lulu owes a deep debt of gratitude.
Production of The Yellow Jacket is
IA tremendous relief TO intellectual
famine in Hawaii. The only saving
grace for those who do not see the
play is that they do not realize how
hungry they are. There never has
been anything better done in Homo.

Children's Home To
Get Lumber From Old
Hospital Building

Building material for the children's
home will be made available when
use of the old Malulani hospital build
ing is ended. The building then will
be abandoned and turned over to the
trustees of the childrens home for
destruction and for the purpose of
building the home all timber and lum-
Der that is in good condition can be
used. In that way it s thought that
important savings in construction
costs can be secured. Such building
as results will be used for the max
ing of start for the much needed
home and can be improved or replaced
later when financial conditions with
resulting additional funds shall war
rant.
Request for the turning over of the
old hospital building for purposes of
a childrens home was made by Mrs.
E. r. Bevins on behalf of the COM
mittee at the meeting of the board of
supervisors on Friday afternoon. 1t
was the desire of the committee to
use the building on the present site
if that were possible, otherwise to
secure the usable building materials
in it. The board felt that the land
where the old building stands is need
ed for hospital purposes but could
see no objection to any good material
being used for the proposed home.
The county will have to demolish the
building or have it demolished and
turning it over to the home trustees
will save the costs of wrecking it. A
resolution turning the building over
to the home trustees when it shall be
no longer needed for the hospital was
introduced by Supervisor Fleming,
seconded by Supervisor Goodness and
unanimously passed.
Home funds now exceed $4,000 in
actual cash and there are subscrip-
tions and promises that will yield
enough to bring it up to $4,000. Dur
ing the holidays a concerted cam
paign for more funds will be carried
on and a small children's home build
ing is almost in sight.
Plans for the holiday campaign con
template mite boxes in a number Of
the stores and on the day before
Christmas and on Christmas Eve
there will be tables in charge of
Maui women in about a dozen of the
most frequented places at which sub
scriptions and donations will be ac-
cepted and received.

M. A. Co. japanese Cut
Free From Unionism

Japanese plantation laborers on
Maui continue to drift away from the
Japanese labor unions, following the
start made recently by the mass
meeting of Hawaiian Commercial G
Sugar Co., workers at the Puunene

ka camp of the M. A. Co.. have follow
ed the example of the Puunene jap

Ulster Is Bitter On
The Irish Agreement
ASSOCIATED PRESS

, LONDON, Dec. 13.-Ulster is re-
ported to be very bitter over the
agreement for the proposed settlement
of the Irish controversy and to have
stricken the toast to the king from
the programs of all impending func-
tions. Members of the Ulster cabinet
are reported to be accusing Lloyd
George of bad faith and double deal
ing.
Speculation is rife here as to the
action Ireland will take. De Valera
is known to have friends who will
oppose 1t but is quoted as saying that
if Ireland favors the agreement he will
withdraw opposition and return to his
work as college professor.
Lloyd George will appear before the
commons tomorrow in defense of the
agreement
Numerous shooting affrays have oc-
CURED in Belfast and the Ulster union
lists are demanding unconditional re-
lease of all protestant prisoners.
The British press and public believe
Ireland will accept the terms of the
agreement.

Traffic Ordinance
Passes But Keep To
Left Measure Fails

Third reading was given the propos-
ed Traffic Ordinance and it was pass
ed and adopted to be effective Janu-
ary /, 1922 by the board of supervisors
Friday afternoon. For more than three
months it has been before the board
at each meeting and it has been the
subject of criticism pro and con onthe
streets and in the press as well as
before the supervisors. At first it at
tracted little attention but toward the
last its importance came to be more
recognized and the Chamber of Com
merce took hand in it's considera-
tion. The only one to appear in op-
position to its passage IN the present
form was Judge l.. l.. Burr who con-
sidered that it is not specific enough
in the lighting provision and is bur
dened with useless matter in other
respects. Attorney Eugene Murphy
spoke of appearing in opposition to
it but he left before it came up for
final consideration.
AS passed the ordinance is con-
SichStu lloll tllC LII III III
which it was first presented in res
pect to light provisions chiefly and
there was some change in defining of
business districts" and residential
districts" Whether it will prevent
entirely the light glare evil is doubt
full but its friends are confident it
will reduce such evil materially.
When the proposed Pedestrian
Ordinance" came up for third reading
and final passage a surprise was
sprung. Supervisor Goodness moved
that it be indefinitely postponed, his
motion was seconded by Supervisor
Uahinui and that action was taken.
No one had appeared in specific op-
position to it though Judge Burr had
said on Thursday that if the glare
menace was removed he could see no
reason for its enactment and the
pedestrians had primarily the right of
way and the passage of the ordinance
would be a further taking away Of
the diminishing rights of the man who
goes afoot. When the vote was TAX
en- Drummond was absent and Flem-
ing had left the meeting. ....
