Chinese Players Are
Here and Will Play
At Kahului Tomorrow

Tomorrow night the Chinese stu
dent players in "The Yellow Jacket"
will be seen at Kahului Theater, on
Thursday night they will be at La
haina and on Friday will make their
last Maui appearance at the Wailuku
Hippodrome. Judging from the ad-
vance sale of seats they will play to
crowded house at each performance
though there are still some excellent
seats Obtainable.
Popularity of the players and their
vehicle in Honolulu can be judged
from the following article which ap-
peared in the Honolulu Advertiser
last April:
owing to the great demand for
tickets for The Yellow Jacket, the
Chinese Students Alliance of Hawaii
decided yesterday afternoon to stage
a fourth performance on Wednesday
night, April 27, at Mission Memorial
Hall. The Chinese production, play
ed by Chinese students in the typical
and unique manner of the Chinese
theatrical stage is at once instructive
and entertaining.
For three nights, Mission Memorial
Hall has been packed to the doors
In this play is embodied the philoso-
ply of the Chinese, their humor and
pathos, their art, their music and their
costumes. Truly there has never been
a better play acted by a student cast
as The Yellow Jacket by the Chinese
students"

County Authorities
To Consult With u.
S. Attorney Huber

United States Attorney S. C. Huber
has been asked to come over to Maui
and advise with the sheriff and dep
uties sheriff on the subject of terri
torial and county enforcement of the
prohibition law under the new acts of
congress. This was decided at a
meeting of the county attorney, sher-
if and his deputies on Saturday when
the subject was gone into at some
length.
County Attorney Bevins had a let
ter from the United States attorney
on the subject of the new laws and
in that letter Mr.. Huber said he
would come over to Maui and go into
the subject with the authorities here
if desired. There are numbers of
points as to powers and authorities
of law enforcement officers that have
been decided by federal courts and it
is desired that the police department
of Maui shall know definitely where
they can begin and where they must
end. 1t is to go into those points
especially that the United States At
torney has been asked to visit Maui
for consultation at his earliest con-
venience.

Children of Wailuku
District Are Happy
AT Three Gay Trees

Wailuku district children had their
community Christmas celebration on
Saturday and the almost steady rain
fall did not in any wise spoil the day
for them nor distract a whit from
their happiness. The holding of three
trees worked splendidly and allowed
numbers of the smaller children to
attend who would have BEEN barred
from the treat had they been asked
to come all the way into Wailuku.
Thus it was that there were more
children made happy and crushing
and crowding was eliminated.
Waihee's tree and celebration was
started first and contrary to eXpecta-
tions the children there had tableauX
as well as singing and the tree. Their
tree was illuminated with candles and
was a beautiful sight The program
was a well arranged interspersal OF
music, recitations and two tableauX,
the latter arranged by Mrs. p. H. Ross
and the general arrangements of the
affair under Miss Lucy LAM.
Wailuku's tree was in the armory
and the crowd of youngsters and
grown folk was almost as large as
last year. There was only one draw
back, long wait of 45 minutes from
the starting hour till the actual start
was made Under direction of Mrs.
Buck, the singing was excellent, Mrs.
Ross staged her tableauX well and
they pleased the older element far
more than the little folk. There were
gifts for all and to spare, Miss Par
sons and her committee having boun-
tifully filled large paper sacks.
In the evening the Waikapu tree
under direction of a committee head
ed by Mrs. F. L. Hoogs, was held
with program of singing, the tab
leaux again and beautifully decora-
ed tree with ample gifts for all. And
Santa Claus in his suit of red and
his long white beard was the central
figure to delight the little folk at all
three trees. He distributed gifts to
more than 2500 youngsters in the
course of a busy afternoon and even
ing.
Sunday evening there was a Sun
day school entertainment at the Ka-
hului Union Church and in the Chi
nese church in Wailuku there was held
the annual entertainment and distri-
button of gifts to the children of that
Sunday school.

France Again
Halts Progress
Of Conference
Submarine Issue Looms Up
More Important and May
Demand Further Sessions
In the Early Future.
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-All indi-
cations are that France and japan
will continue obecting to the allotted
submarine tonnage for the United
States under the compromise propo-
sal. Meantime Great Britain and the
United States feel that they have
yielded to the limit and made maxi
mum concessions in offering to re-
duce submarine fleets to 10000 tons.
Under these circumstances the move
ment gains impetus for a later con-
ference to rediscuss the possibilities
for further general armament reduc-
tions, and takes more definite form.
Such conferences will probably be
held in 1928 or 1929.
There are also indications that
steps will soon be taken for general
conference on the subject of sub
marines and submarine warfare with
in three years if the American COM
promise proposal fails and there are
indications that the provisions of the
general conference will be included
in treaty embodying the results of
the present conference.
1t was announced yesterday that
the next meeting of the naval affairs
committee would be postponed from
today until tomorrow as the French
deegates have not yet secured all the
advices they desire from Paris. The
French delegates believe that Paris
will disapprove of the American com
promise. The English and japanese
delegations are silent but there are
indications that they will recede
from their fiat rejection of the Amer
ican proposals.
London advices say that the Chron
icle this morning discussing editorial
ly the French claim for large fleet
of submarines says: Doubling any
class of tonnage seems a strange pro
position at conference held for the
purpose of reducing ornaments.

Troops in Islands
Haiti and Domingo
Are Found Necessary
ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The speci
al senate committee that visited
Santo Domingo announces that the
Dominican political leaders have re-
jected the conditions of the United
States for the withdrawal of it's
troops, declining to hold elections and
to constitute government to negoti-
ate for such withdrawal.
Senator Medill Mccormack, chair
man of the committee said that it is
impossible to advise modification of
the terms for the present, because it
is considered necessary to assure civil
order and the discharge of obliga-
tions. He said that notifications may
be possible after the completion of
certain highways which will provide
greater assurance against revolutions.
Senator Mccormack also said that
the committee unanimously believes
that the presence of small forces of
United States troops in both Santo
Domingo and Haiti as necessary to
the peace and development of those
countries.
Dispatches from New York this
morning said that members of the
Haiti and Santo Domingo independ-
ence committee characterized the re-
port of the senate investigating com
mittee as "a disgrace"

New Years Eve Ball .
Promises to Excel
Best Past Efforts

S:3O-Ball opens.
9:30-Grand March before judges.
1O:0O-Naming of prize winners
11:3O-Distribution of noisemakers
and confetti.
11:55-Lights down.
12:00-Happy New Year
12:05-Lights up and dancing re-
sumes.
This is the program of the New
Years Eve fancy dress ball in sum
mary but it does not begin to tell all
of the features and novelties that the
committee of which Joe Meinecke is
chairman has arranged.
1t will be noted that an early start
is announced and that one of the
most interesting features is set for
$50, the grand march of the dancers
in costume before the judges who
will at that time make their selec
tions of the costumes each considers
most worthy of prizes and immediate
ly determine upon the awards. The
judges will be Mrs. David Wadsworth
Mrs. E. e. Boyum and Messrs. ". p
Rosecrans and Robert Hughes.
Simplicity with beauty will mark
the decorations which are under di
rection of Mrs. j. T. Fantom and some
novel electrical effects are being ar
ranged by Charles p. Ludin, electri
clan at Paia. There will be no dis
crepancies as to time, for a clock is
to be installed in the building as the
official time piece, set to Kahului rail
road time.
Last years success appears about
to be shaded in interest, judging from
that displayed in advance of the an
nual fancy dress ball and some beau
tiful and striking costumes have been
quietly displayed and will be sprung
as surprises. Competition for first
prize, the best costumed couple, prom
ises to be especially keen and next
in interest come the most charmingly
costumed lady.
The committee especially asks al
contestants to be on hand at or soor
after dancing starts and calls atten
tion to the fact that those arriving
after the start of the grand march al
$3.50 will be too late to compete fol
the costume prizes.

Merchant Marine
Aid Plans Take
Definite Shape
House Leader MondelI and
President Harding Hold
Holiday Conference On
Legislation Program.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 House
Leader Mondell conferred with Pres
ident Harding yesterday on the sub
ject of legislation and after the CON
ference said that the program agreed
upon includes soldiers bonus, perma-
nent tariff and merchant marine en-.
couragement.
AS to the soldiers bonus Mondell
said the legislation would probably
require simultaneous enactment of
special taxation legislation. He said
the merchant marine legislation will
be productive without doubt of con-
siderable congressional discussion.
Ship Subsidy Plan
The final conference of shipping
men and the shipping board subsidy
committee has been called for Jan
uary 5, to formulate a subsidy plan
which will be submitted to President
Harding for submission by him in
turn to congress.
In it's tentative form the plan pro-
vides both direct and indirect aid to
the merchant marine, the former
through the diversion of 10 percent of
the import customs as a bonus and
lllt ldlJtl ItNOlNlHS lOdll
funds of $100,000,000.
The committee has tentatively ap-
proved the following methods of di-
rect assistance
l. Payments to ship oVners cover
ing the difference in wages and sus-
tenance costs between American and
British ships;
2. Making available of about $S,-
100000 annually to encourage the
building of small carriers
3. Encouragement of special ser
vices and new routes through nomi-
nal charters.
Other suggestions include the sale
Of the remaining shipping board YES

ment non-profit insurance department
and some relief from the income
taxes.

Back Board Bills of
Former Emperor Are
Bothering the Allies

PARIS, Dec 6-(Associated Press
MaiD WHO is going TO pay ex-Em-
peror Charles board bill?" is the
problem the Allied governments are
trying to solve. So far no country
has come forward and offered to pay
the bills left behind in Switzerland
or the expenses which will follow the
exile of the former monarch to Ma
deira.
The former king has expensive
tastes. This is evidenced by the fact
that the Swiss retreat cost nearly
100000 francs a year to keep going
In hurry to reach his old throne,
Charles forgot several substantial OBJ
legations. These and the cost main
tanning Charles and his large family
at Madeira are occupying the Allied
Ambassadors Council. The total
Swiss bill will exceed several million
Swiss francs apart from the estab-
lishment set up at Madeira for the
former ruler of Austria-HungaTy
1t is believed that the Hungarian
government will pay most of the bills
and the members of the Little En-
tente, to whose existence the sup
preston of monarchial adventures is
essential, may bear part of the bur
den. The annual expense at Madei
IA probably will be provided through
a pension, wholly or partly paid by
Hungary. In this the Little Entente
may also have a share.
The fact that Charles and his fam
lily still have firm friends in Hungary
is evidenced by the purchase of u
100000 crown bed and bedroom
suite for the eX-queen, by Budapest
royalists. The bed was made OF sat
inwood with brocade and gilt decora-
tions. The money was raised by po-
pular subscription. The authorities
have refused to permit its display in
public fearing royalist riots so the
bed will be sent Immediately to Ma
deira.

activities will depend entirely on
how long | shall be out" He said

ident Harding so that there should be
no misunderstanding of his principles

ty "courteously" and by Harding
cordially" and that he was assured
by both of them that his release is
unconditional.

newspapers" He was not allowed to
correspond with socialist leaders and
clippings sent by his wife were taken
from her letters to him and destroyed
by the wardens.

German Film Concerns
Study Humor In Order
To Compete Americans

BERLIN, Nov. 81 - (Associated
Press MaiD-German motion picture
film manufacturers have perfected a
cooperative organization one of the
prime purposes of which is to cap
ture the European trade held by a n
ericau Producers. In the effort to
compete with the American film the
Germans are endeavoring to develop
screen humor," which heretofore
has been lacking in their productions.
Virtually all Teuton films, until re-
Gently, have dealt only with histori-
cal, legendary and romantic subjects.
Some of the more ambitious Ger
man companies have engaged Ameri-
can directors and are striving to put
American pep" into their plays, to
meet home consumption as well as
export demands, for American Illms
smuggled into the country during the
last several months when importa-
tions were forbidden proved surpris-
ingly popular.
A survey of the world film markets
by interested Germans disclosed Am
erican films were more popular than
any others in Italy, England, Scandi-
navia and the Balkans, which led to
discussion of what was wrong with
the German technique. The con-
census of opinion seemed to be that
the American films were better
handled" and were sprinkled general
ly with a lively humor.
This verdict was sharply criticised
however, by a number of German pro-
ducers who held to the opinion that
German technique is bound to prevail
over the "slap-stick comedy and the
SILLY sentimental things produced
only to show rows of white teeth and
a smile"
The Germans early made an effort
to compete in the American home
market, and succeeded until recently
in disposing of 800 expensive films,
which, however, are still being hfld
for release An effort toward cooper
alton between American and German
producers, begun several months ago,
appeared to stumble over the prob
lem of cost and the uncertainty OF tne
value of German money which male
making of contracts difficult.
Average cost of German fllmS
ranges between half million and
eight hundred million marks, al
though two or three films have been
produced at a cost app oXinlatlng ten
million marks each.
Producers complain of their inaDll-
ity to secure good manuscripts, and
at the same time admit they are un-
able to pay for now talent, which is
being contracted in foreign countries.
This and the fact that America is
said to have a virtual monopoly or
raw films is Eandicapping the Ger
mans in their announced purpose of
capturing the world film market.
The 70 firms which are cooperating
announced, however, an increase in
exports of finished films, which
amounted in IL months to 27000,00O
marks.
Motion picture houses in Germany
also are reported increasing in popu
larity, the number having reached
3,731 with a daily attendance of %,
100000. England has 5000 and
France 2,400 motion picture theaters.
