WAIT ALIENISTS
OF PROSECUTION
IN HONOR TRIAL
Case Is Adjourned Until
Saturday When Experts
Will Reach Island.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press stan Correspondent

HONOLULU, April 22.-Hawaii's
honor Staying trial was in adjourn
ment today while prosecution alien
lists made ready to testify against
Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie,
young naval officer and one Of the
defendants.
Meanwhile, Prosecutor John G.
Kelley revealed the use he had in
tended to put to the psychological
QUESTIONABLE which was torn to
bits by Mrs. Thalia Fortescue Mas
sic, the heutenant's wife while she
was on the witness stand
The only answer in the question
naire, which he intended to use,
Kelley told the United Press, was
one in which Mrs. Massie described
her husband as mot demonstrative.
He said he had intended to use
that answer to impeach Mrs. Mas
sizes statement that her husband
always was kind and affectionate."
AIienistS to Be Called
The alienists, DR.. Joseph Cation
of San Francisco and DR.. Paul
Bowers of Los Angeles may be called
Saturday when they are expected
to combat defense claims that Mas
sic was insane when he killed Joe
Kahahawai, half caste, accused OF
leading an attack on Mrs. Massie.
Kelley would not definitely.say he
intended to use them. He indicated
he might depend entirely upon DR..
Robert P. Faus, city-county ply
stefan, to oppose the insanity plea.
How the prosecutor will conclude
the case will be determined by the
nature of the findings of the two
pjychiatrists.
Kelley said he might ask for an
instructed verdict Of granddaughter
against Massie, but added he would
not make up his mind definitely
until he learned what the two doc
tors had to report.
Indignation Is Expressed
Kelley said he had no plans con-
corning the other defendants, Mrs.
Grace Bell Fortescue, Massie's So
cially prominent mother-in-law,
and A. o. Jones and E. j. Lord,
enlisted seamen. All are accused
of second degree murder.
Except for reports of Doctors Cat
ton and Bowers chief interest still
conferred on Mrs. Massie's act of
tearing UP the QUESTIONABLE.
A group of prominent island
physicians expressed indignation at
Kelley's action in taking the in
innate report into court, and passed
recommendation that the next
session of the legislature make
such questionnaires privileged.
Many women were reported to
have protested to the university of
Hawaii, where Mrs. Massie took the
pSychopathic test produced in court.
The women felt Kelley should not
have had access to it.
Mrs. Massies action in destroy
ing the document was described by
Defense Counsel Clarence Darrow,
as the most unusual incident he
ever witnessed in court room.
IT have seen spectators applaud a
verdict" he said, but never before
have I heard Of spectators applaud
ing such an action by witness"

Election OF Bishop
Who Drew Colof
Line Is Halted

LITTLE ROCK. Ark.-The Very
Rev. John Williamson. dean of Trim
ty Cathedral here, will not be CON
firmed in his election as Bishop of
the. Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas
A majority of the 70 bishops of the
church have failed to confirm Dean
Williamson's election by the state
diocesan convention at Newport. last
May, on the ground that the New
port convention was not held in the
proper spirit. They contended the
color line had been drawn in the
celebration of Holy Communion.
Preceding the election there was
a service of the holy communion, hut
the colored bishop and the eolored
priest were asked to hold a separate
service in the basement of the
church. This they refused to do.
Later Bishop Demby announced to
the bishops of the church, who had
to give their consent before the
elections could become valid, that the
bishop-elect had been a party to this
discrimination.

Mans Own Choosing

Text: I'VE will not come TO me,
that We might have life."-John
$40.
The meaning of this text cannot
be misapprehended Jesus is the
only source of spiritual life. and all
who obtain this life must find their
way to its source.
Jesus has power to give life. This
fact cannot be denied, for untold
thousands have received this graci-
Gus gift But the gift of life is
never forced upon unwilling individ-
uals.
All through the Scripture there
runs a loving invitation to come and
receive forgiveness. No matter how
far men have gone away from God
there is mercy and forgiveness for
all who will return. 1t is difficult
to understand how men can ignore
such an invitation from the King of
kings and the Lord of lords.
Some would say, IF God has all
power and is anxious to save. why
are not all. men saved?" The truth
is that men are free to accept or
reject Gods gift.
I" not willing that any should
perish but all should come TO re-
pentance' e. Pc. 500. This truth
is emphasized many times In the
Bible. But the tragic death of Jesus
on Calvary's Cross is an unanswer-
able argument.
That all men should be saved is
the great desire of God, and yet
many are lost, because there is
power in the human will to defeat
the will o food. 1t may seem strange
to you that your puny will can con
dition the will of God, but the text
teaches, that men do not have life
b cause they will not come to Christ
who is the source of all life.
Your eternal destiny is deter
mined by your own choosing. be
cause you can do as you please with
your own life. You are free to ac
cept or reject Christ.
If you choose to abstain from
food until you starve physically, you
may do so. Ii you choose to starvt
yourself spiritually, you may do so
To every man there openeth,
A high way and low,
And every man decideth
Which way his soul must go.

Eyes men" are yelping in chorus Garner is the
man of the hour" Just why he is that, is not dis
closed. Maybe he has a watch
OF course, one thing claimed for him is that
he comes from Texas and is supposed to be "a
farmer from "out in the sticks" But farmers
should take not that he has lived in Washington,
D. c., for twenty years and wears silk hat
with the best of the Washington politicians. Also,
whether he's farmer" or not, would make no
difference. He's capitalist farmer, maybe. And
his party is capitalist party.
Aside from that he appears to be eligible as
capitalist candidate for president by reason of
the fact that it has not been proven that he has
had an idea, either new or second hand, for the
last forty years His heaviest political utterance
of recent date is the remark, made while visiting
the White House, that the silver door knobs in
dictated that there might be funeral
Kindly contrast, against this and other fossil

Government. Then realize that what we say
about tn decline and decay OF capitalism" can
be exemplified here in the person Of presidential

Party Recruiting Drive

BRINGING LIFE TO THE UNITS

for this, and do away with it so that we can
really mobilize masses Of workers around the
various activities that we are carrying on with
out in any way antagonizing that section Of the
working class that still Is prejudiced against
Communists and the Communist Party, and only
only the basis Of struggle convince them Of the
correctness of our position, and draw them closer
into our ranks.
Another point that the comrades raised was
the question of wasting time in waiting around
for meetings to begin. These new workers who
joined the ranks of our Party are full of en-
thusiasn for the activities Of the Party, and
they feel that every moment counts, that every
minute they can do something to develop the
work Of the Party, and yet they are forced to
go to meetings that are called, and wait around
for an hour, at times an hour and half and
then be told that because only few comrades
showed up, tn : the meeting is called off.
They do not seem to understand such sit
uation, and they interpret it, and correctly So,
as lack of sincerity on the part of the older
Party members in taking the campaigns of the
Party in a real serious manner. If we were to
check up on all the hours and days wasted on
just waiting around for meetings, we would see
that this point raised by the comrades is of
greatest importance to our Party. We must be-
sin to put into effect a system whereby, when
of the fact of how many comrades show up TO
begin this meeting on time. If we were to
follow such a thing in number OF instances,
then the comrades would be convinced that we
mean business and we will not be in a situation
where we will waste so many hours uselessy,
without any results
These three points show very distinctly that
the New Party members are alert and in bringing
these criticisms to the Party do it in the spirit
of really helping the Party to avoid some Of
the shortcomings that we face at the present
time. 1t Is of the greatest Importance that we
consider the opinions Of the new Party MEM
bers, that discuss these problems with them,
and really begin to develop new inner life OF
our Units to point where we really make the
new and old Party comrades feel that we are
a political Party that guides the workers in
their every day struggles for improved condt-
tons.
In this light. we must take these criticisms
seriously and unite all our strength and forces
to shove aside these weaknesses that we are
confronted with today, in order to make the
full turn Of our Party towards the. shop work
as its central activity, and towards the build
ing of real mass Communist Party.

BY L. D. New YORK;

BY L. ID. New York;
A few days ago. attended a Unit meeting
composed of new Party members, and almost
all of them native Americans At this meeting
a number of very important points were brought
out by the comrades who are new in the Party,
as to their opinion of some of the weaknesses
and shortcomings of our Party work And in
The o~+icIa want to take some of these crit
iclsrns and show how correctly the new mem
SIS nave estimated the situation in the Party,
ID what must be done In order to change this
uation.
II the first place the comrades clearly pointed
out that many of the old Party members are
not able to give definite, concrete answers on
questions that puzzle the minds of the new
members. Especially questions Of political ma
ture. questions that deal with deviations Of a
right" or cleft character in our Party This
point is of the greatest Importance, and shows
again that our Party finds itself on a low po-
Htical level and that we must without wasting
much more time, begin to really polticize the
activities of our Units to carry on some educa-
tional work, linking up the various, every day
campaigns of the Party with problems Of policy,
wrong political conceptions and what is the
correct Bolshevik line on one or another con-
crete problem.
The s~o9nd point that the comrades raised
was the following: That we have not learned
to distinguish between the work Of the Party
organization proper, and the various mass Or
CARNATIONS. The comrades pointed out that for
instance in the unemployment headquarters we
find the same pictures of Lenin, and the other
leaders of our Party in the International move
-7ent, the same banners the same slogans etc.
that we find in the Party headquarters and
that workers who are not ready to be called
Bosheviks or Reds, but who come to our move
ment on the basis of every day struggles on the
demands for Unemployment Insurance. immed-
late relief, reduction in rents, etc. are scared
away from the headquarters of the Unemploy
ed Councils because they have the impression
that they have entered the ranks of the Comrnu-
mist Party. Large meetings of these mass or
CARNATIONS do not distinguish themselves from
the Party meetings, and in very few instances
have we drawn in broad masses Of workers at
these mass organization meetings. 1t is due to
the fact that we have not learned to mobilize
workers around one distinct concrete issue, and
organize them for struggle around this issue.
1t seems to me that this point raised by the
comrades is of greatest significance to us. We
must begin to go down to the roots of this
very important point, see what are the causes
