HONOLULU, T. H., March Z.
So surprisingly sinister have been
the racial issues involved in the
celebrated Massie attack case that
the actual details of the attack
on the wife Of an American
naval officer and the subsequent
''honor killing" of a native have
been almost lost from sight.
Attention to the central facts
win be drawn again on March
2S, when Mrs. Granville Fortes-
cue, socially prominent Washing
ton woman; her son-in-law, Lieut..
Thomas H. Massie, and two naval
enlisted men go on trial charged
with the second-degree murder
Of Joseph Kahahawai, native
accused with four others OF haV-
ing attacked Mrs. MasSie.
Details Of the Case
A grim series of facts stands
out clearly in the midst of the
muddle in which Honolulu has
found itself. They are, briefly,
as follows:
On the night of September
IL, 1881, Mrs. Massie went for a
short walk outside a roadside inn
and was kidnapped by five half
castles, taken to a lonely place,
and attacked. Her jaw was
broken in the struggle to defend
her honor.
Five men, including Kahahawal,
were accused by Mrs. Massie, ana
placed on trial. On December o.
o Jury announced that it was un.
able to reach a decision after 81
hours Of deliberation. The men
were released on bail.
On January 8, Kahahawa1 was
shot to death. He had reported TO
the court bailiff on the morning
Of that day, according to terr1tor-
ial law, to maintain the $500 bond
under which he had been released
Entered An Automobile
AS he left the Judiciary build
ing about $3.50 a. M, he was hailed
by a youth in the uniform OF an
enlisted sailor, who presented him
with a ficticious warrant.
Kahahawai was told to enter a
waiting automobile. In it were
two men, one Of whom was also
dressed as a sailor.
The machine sped away. 1t was
followed closely, witnesses said, by
O. roadster driven by grey-haired
woman. A friend Of Kahahawai's,
who witnessed the abduction,
sounded the alarm.
A little more than an hour later,
o police car stopped 9 sedan on
the scenic highway near Diamond
head, a coaStline promontory that
once was a flaming volcano.
The sedan, driven by Mrs. Grace
Hubbard Fortesque, mother of
Thalia Massie, contained the
Eheet-wrapped body of Kahahawai.
In addition to Mrs. Fortescue, the
cars passengers were Lieutenant
MaSSie and Edward j. Lord, an
enlisted sailor.
Bungalow Searched
Shortly after the arrest of the
three Americans, Police searched
the bungalow home of Mrs. For
tesque and in the disorder indi-
Gated by furniture there were
signs that a struggle had taken
place.
At Mrs. Massie's home police
found Albert o. Jones, another
enlisted sailor, and took him into
custody. From him they recov-
cred the warrant" that was sup
posed to have been shown to Kaha-
hawai- on the courthouse steps.

SMITH D|SAGREES
ON HOOVER PLAN
President Accused of "Quib-
bling Over Words" and Ig-
noring Employment Need.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 25.-Afred E
Smith disagrees with President Hoover
on two points in the problem Of Fed
eral aid to public works to relieve un-
employment.
Commenting yesterday on a recent
letter the President wrote the American
Society Of Civil Engineers, the former
governor said:
'I am entirely unable to recognize
the validity of the distinction which
the President points out between pro-
ductive and non-productive or revenue
and non-revenue producing work.
Difference Not Clear.
"He mentions bridge and tunnel
to be financed by tolls as being a
worthy project and highway as being
an unworthy one. Obviously he can
not mean this. I do not know of a
bridge or tunnel project of any magni-
tude which does not depend on con-
meeting and approach highways for its
success"
Similarly, he said, he was unable to
follow the Presidents distinction be-
tween the issuance of Federal bonds
and the use of Federal credit"
Smith said that from the point Of
view Of unsettling the bond market
there Is no difference between issuing
Federal bonds and using Federal
credit"
Employment Important.
Declaring himself in sympathy with
the general principles of relief in the
Presidents letter, he said the problems
Of finding employment for millions
transcends "all hair-splitting and all
fine spun theories of financing"
If we do not tackle this problem
now in big way" he said. I'VE shall
be driven to much more drastic
measures a few months from now, when
the millions of unemployed will not be
SO patient with quibbling over words. "
