HONOLULU, T. H., April II
G.N.SO.-Honolulu spent the
weekend in tense anticipation as
the stage was set in Judge Charles
S. Davis court for the opening
today of one of the dramatic
chapters in American life. His
torical it will be as we'll.
The evidence as it unfolds may
rob four Americans of their lib

entirely new form of government
in these islands.
Changes Must Come
In the two acts preceding this
legal contest-that is, the brutal
criminal assault on Thalia Massle
and the kidnapping and killing of
Joseph Kahahawai-as in the
legal struggle now impending,
two women were the principal
actors.
AS a result of the experiences
of this mother and daughter, the
present form of government in
this territory is tottering.
Back of this court scene and
enVeloping it are proposals for
drastic governmental changes.
Challenging they will be to Con-

the moment to all Hawaii.

 mittment papers were not made out last evening it was decided to let the three share the cellroom, which Watertown, refers to as
 jail" The three were the only occupants of the building. The
 hoose-gow adjoins the Watertown fire company, but as that is a vol unteer organization none of it's
 members were around during the night.
 It is suspected that some friends of the accused tossed a monkey
 wrench through an open transom and the prisoners lost no time in going to work on the bolts which
 held the door. When Caretaker Hard paid his visit of inspection this morning about 6 o'clock he found that the prisoners had taken their departure.
 Constable Harty was notified and a request for cooperation was made of the local authorities.

 The weapon taken from Ladd was not loaded. The youth simply made the mistake of flashing 1t in a public place and giving the manager of the establishment a fright. Traffic Officer Walter A. hearn on entering the restaurant searched and found the gun on Ladd and placed him under arrest.
 On the payment of $10 the case of Albert Dupre, 29, of 33 Fuller street was nolled. He was charged with speeding. A nolIe was enter ed in the case of Victor Samoulis, 28, of 38 Longhill road, charged with receiving stolen goods. It was stated in court that the accus- ed had returned two bicycle tires to one Joseph Francis. The latter appeared in court today having ob- tained his release from jail on an appeal. He was unable to appear against Samoulis a week ago, hay- ing been sent to New Haven county jail for striking his wife.
 Albert Yenausky, 22, 591 Wash ington avenue was fined $10O and costs for operating a motor ve- hicle while under the influence of liquor. Fifty dollars of the fine was later remitted.

 The prime minister's declara- ton was expected during the scheduled debate on the Lausanne treaty and the "gentlemen's agree ment" to void that treaty if the United States did not make a cor responding cut in war debts owed 1t.
 The debate followed a dramatic declaration in the house yesterday by Chancellor Neville Chamber lain who said:
 We have been in touch at Laus- anne not only with European rep resentatives but had conversations with representatives of the United States"
 Secretary of State stimson had declared in Washington that he had no. official, knowledge of any conversations by any representa- lives of the United States govern ment on that question.
 The United Press understood that Britain expected the United States to deal separately with her war debtors.
 France, Italy and Britain were said to have agreed at Lausanne to a policy of "every man for him. self" although they were expected to act with regard for each others interests and for the general good.
 There was said to have been no secret agreement that none of the powers would make a settlement with the United States to which the others might object.
 The Lausanne question was brought to it's dramatic climax in the house of commons, "A hours before the government expected it, when former Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Winston Churchill at- tackled the reparations settlement.

A description of the missing trio was flashed over the local police departments teletype this morning and Constable Harty visited police headquarters and supplied infor- nation concerning the missing prisoners.
 Kane, Markevicz and Donston with one James O'Malley of Bos. ton were captured near Brookfield Mass, last Thursday in possession with a carload of merchandise. which had been stolen from the Watertown branch store of the Miller 6 Peck company.

 Before Roosevelt was nominated, Alfred E. Smiths managers de-

 Fantasia, The murder victim, was shot in the back on north end street June II, 1927. Cero Gangi, formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y., but now of Italy, was seen running from the scene. He was captured, charged with the murder, and con- victed November IT, 1927.
 After several months in state prison, Gangi was removed to the death house and arrangements were completed for his execution. . But few hours before the sched- Vuled execution a young woman.

 There is widespread senate in- terest in the ''gentleman's agree ment" entered into at Lausanne by which the European conference reportedly agreed that cancella- ton of reparations would be de- pendent upon debt action by this country.
 There is suspicion in many minds. that the European states men acted with the knowledge and possibly the sympathy of American officials. Secretary of State Stim- son asserts he had no official know ledge of this agreement.

WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 9
ON.S0.-An amazing account of
q DR.. Jeckyll and Mr.. Hyde exist
ence was incorporated today in
the records of a royal commits
sion investigating the affairs of
John A. Machray, who is serving
a seven year term for embezzling
more than $1,000,000 from the
University of Manitoba.
D. A. B. Murray, a chartered
accountant who has been study
ing the books Machray kept
while he was the university's
burSar, testified that Machray
had secretly pursued the life of
financial gambler while ap-
pearing to his neighbors and
associates as a trusted official.
Using the name of his book
keeper, James Kerr, the former
bursar, according to Murray, lost
$23, 900 in marginal trading in Sc
curities and $14,150 in grain trad
ing. His personal investments OF
money appropriated from the uni
versity trust fund totaled $685.

Murray said he discovered that
Machray lived luxuriously, wining
and dining his friends.
