Navy, and the subsequent conviction of Mrs. Mas sie's mother, Mrs. Granville For tesque, Lieut.. Massie and two sail ors for killing one of Mrs. Mas sie's five alleged assailants, one of Hawaiian blood. Out of these incidents arose a question of the efficiency of Hawaiian home rule.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Paulette Goddard, young platinum blond of the films is a bit weary, and why not?
 It's all because of the hullabaloo that surrounded her when she reached New York from the coast with a kiss of Charlie Chaplin still fresh on her lips.
 So now she says she plans to go to Tahiti where perhaps she thinks no reporters will bother her asking if it's true she's en- gagged to the film comedian.
 Miss Goddard denies reports of the bethrothal and says she's ra- ther tired of being cross-examined with all the intensity of a defend ant on the witness stand. First she refused to confirm the en- gagement report. When the in- quisitors persisted, Will you deny it, then?" she weakened and said, "Yes."
