SERVICES TO j. S.
Cost to District to Be Esti-
mated for Fiscal ReIa.
tionS Study.

Metropolitan police officials were
rushing to completion today a COM
prehensive report designed to show
the cost to the District of providing
police service for various activities dis
tinctly Federal in character.
The report will be submitted to j.
L. Jacobs, Chicago efficiency engineer
and tax expert, who is making study
Of fiscal relations between the Federal
and District governments at the direc-
ton of President Roosevelt. Other
departments Of the municipal govern
ment are preparing similar reports
which, when combined, will give
Jacobs a complete picture of the bene-
fits received by the United States at
the expense Of the District.
The Police Department report will
cover q 10-year period. 1t will outline
the ramihcations of various services
provided for the Federal Government
and estimate the cost.
Presidents Escort Cited.
The cost of services to the White
House, which includes a motor cycle
escort for the President while travelling
in the District, will be cited in the
report, as will the protection provided
for foreign embassies and legations
when such service Is requested. The
figures also will include the cost Of
q police detail assigned to the Senate
wing of the Capitol when Congress Is
in session, as well as the cost Of pro-
tecting and escorting foreign visitors
who come to Washington.
In addition, police officials planned
to figure, if possible, the cost Of
patroling streets around Federal build
ings and the expense involved in
handling the bonus marchers and the
so-called hunger marchers" who in
vaded Washington several times in
recent years.
Oficials pointed out that the ex.
pense of handing both the bonus and
hunger marchers should be charged to
the United States, because none Of
these demonstrations would have oc-

The information Is being gathered
by all of these departments at the
request Of Jacobs, and will follow sug-
gestions he made at conference with
various District ofncials several weeks
ago.
Later Jacobs proposes to call on
civic organizations to submit any data

divided into four kingdoms, each
with its own moi or king. The most
important of these sovereigns were
Kalaniopuu of Hawaii and Kahekili
of Maui. At the court of King
Kalaniopuu was his nephew, a
young warrior named Kamehameha,
who spent many hours on the Eng
lish ships and whom Lieutenant
King, one of Cooks officers, de-
scribes as possessing "the most saw
age face" he had ever seen.
A year or so later when King
Kalaniopuu grew old and feeble, he
called a council of his chiefs, and
there proclaimed his son, Kiwalao,
as his successor.
After the kings death in 1882 the
chiefs from all parts of the is
land gathered for the customary
distribution of land by the new
king. He was under the influence
of his uncle, Keawemauhili, the
principal chief of the HilO district,
and because of that fact the chiefs
Of Kona feared they would be I'M
fairly treated in the distribution Of
land. SO five of them decided to
act together to protect their inter-
ests and they persuaded Kane
hameha to become their leader.
Not long afterwards Keoua, the
brother of Kiwalao, made an un-

provoked attack on some of Kane
hameha's people. This led to a
battle in which Kamehameha was
victorious over Kiwalao who was
slain. His uncle, Keawemauhili,
was captured, but managed to es-
cape and flee to Hilo. AS a result
of this battle, which marked an i'm
portant step in the career of Kane
hameha, the island of Hawaii was
divided into three parts-the dis
tricts Of KOna, Kohala and Hamaku
coming under control of Kane
hameha, Kau under the control of
Keoua, the brother of Kiwalao;
and TIilo and Puma under the SOW
ereignty of Keawemauhili.
During the next ten years Kane
hameha had hard struggle to
keep what he had already won and
to gain control of the remainder of
the island of Hawaii and of other
islands in the group. His principal
opponents were Keoua and Kea-
wemauhili on the south and east
and Kahekili, king of Maui. on the
northwest. During this period for
eign trading ships began to visit

proved his ability as wise and
able ruler. He encouraged re-
turn to prosperity by setting the
example himself. Of him the COM
mon people soon began saying HE
is farmer, a fisherman, maker Of
cloth, a prOvider for the needy and
a father to the fatherless." He not
only led the way in promoting agri-
culture, fishing and other useful
work but he also organized strong
centralized government, levied taxes
in proportion to the ability Of the
people to pay and maintained the
ancient religion of his people.
More farseeing than most native
chiefs, Kamehameha realized the
advantage of maintaining friendly
relations with the white traders
who began to come to Hawaii in
increasing numbers and as the re-
suit of his fair dealings with them
the Sandwich islands, as they were
then called, soon became the most
important commercial center in the
Pacific. AS commerce developed the
prosperity of his kingdom in

closer relations with the United
States. Naturally some of the i'm
perialistic nations Of the world be-
gan casting covetOus eyes upon

these rich islands, and the later
years of Kamehameha's life were
troubled by an attempt of Rus
sian adventurer to gain control of
the island of Kauai. That attempt
was thwarted, however, and Kane
hameha's reign ended peacefully
with his death on May s, 1919.
The house of Kamehameha, es-
tablished by the Napoleon of the
Pacific" in 1895, continued to reign
until 1893 when Queen Liliuokalani
was deposed and the Hawaiian
kingdom came to an end. During
the century of it's reign there were
many threats to its sovereignty
from England, from France and
from Russia. But mainly through
the friendship of the United States
that sovereignty was preserved. In
December, 1912, Daniel Webster,
secretary Of state, sent letter to
the governments of France and
Great Britain declaring it was "the
sense of the government Of the
United States that the Government
of the Sandwich Islands ought to
be respected; that no power ought
either to take possession of the is
lands as conquest or for the pur-
pose of colonization, and that no
power ought to seek for any I'M
due control over the existing gov
eminent or any exclusive privileges
or preferences in matters of COM
MERGE"
Beginning in the fifties sentiment
for annexation of Hawaii by the
United States became strong and
finally on June 16, 1897, the treaty
of annexation was signed. Since
that time Hawaii has been a terri
tory under the American flag and
the time may not be far off when
the kingdom which Kamehameha
established 40 years ago is repre-
scented by the forty-ninth star in
that flag.

THE NAPOLEON OF THE PACIFIC
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

D ACK in the days when
- President George Wash
ington was mastering the first
problems of democratic govern
ment in the new republic of the
United States of America and
Napoleon Bonaparte was start
ing upon the career which
would make him First Emperor
of the French, a brown Ma
poleon far out in the Pacific
was struggling to establish a
dynasty for an island empire.
He was Kamehameha and
on June II of this year the citi-
zens of Hawaii will celebrate
the 20Oth anniversary of the
birth of the Napoleon of the
Pacific" At that time they will
recall, too, how in 1895 he
fought and won the decisive
battle which resulted in Great
ing the island empire of Hawaii.
Ninety-eight years later this
empire gave place to republic
built on the lines of the Ameri-
can government and in 1898 be-
came a territory of the United
States, the territory which is
now asking that it be admitted
to the Union as the 10th state.
AS the visitor to Hawaii watches
the happy crowds playing on beau
tiful Waikiki beach at Honolulu,
the surf boats and canoes rushing
at express speed through the surf
which breaks on the coral reefs and
the bathers enjoying the quieter wa
tiers inside the reefs, it is difficult
to. realize that less than a century
and a half ago an army of 10000
savage brown-skinned warriors were
landing on this same beach from
their fleet of war canoes to give
battle with their equally fierce en-
emies. And when one motors over
well-paved boulevards from the
beach through the modern city of
Honolulu with its 100000 inhabit-
ants, passing imposing business
buildings and climbing up the noun
tains on Moraine road, bordered by
fine homes set in beautiful gardens,
1t is equally difficult to realize that
over this same route Kamehameha
drove his enemies through a dense
tropical jungle to the top of the
mountain pass at Pail and hurled
them over the precipice there.
But that boulevard leads you up
to that precipice, and from it you
look across fine dairy farms, ma

downward to these fields the boule-

THE Pierrepont family is of Nor

of Pierrepont castle, in Picardy,
France, was Sir Hugh de Pierrepont,
who lived in the latter part of the
Tenth century.
Sir Ingelbrand de Pierrepont, grand
son of Hugh, became the ancestor of
the French Pierreponts, while another
grandson, Sir Robert de Pierrepont, ac-
companied William the Conqueror to
England and fought in the Battle of
Hastings. His name is found on the
Doomsday Book of England, that great
document drawn up by the Conqueror
to show the titleholders of the con-
quered lands. Robert de Pierrepont
was granted the lordships of Hene-
stede and Wrentham. in Suffolk.

Robert, was knighted by Edward ! In
1880.

CALIFORNIA; Rodent Plague

The cause of the rodent plague in
the vicinity of Bakersfield, Calf, some
time ago, was that because of weather
and the bed was used for agricultural
purposes. Further weather conditions
ruined the crops being grown on the
lake he'd, and they were left to spoil.
This unusual food supply caused a
rapid and tremendous increase in the
rodent population of the region. which
included house mice and several spe-
cies of field mice. the latter being not
ed for their fecundity.
