 Entire Project in Doubt
 A. E. Steadman of the Chamber of Commerce observed that the Cromwells would have to pay some $15,00O yearly in taxes if they built their home and swimming pool. Cross threatened to with draw the whole project and sell the land, presumably on Mrs. Cromwell's orders.
 Lawyers reviewed the situation unoficially. Some said the beach site was federal property under jurisdiction of the territorial land commission, and the harbor board had no right to reject or accept plans for disposition of the land. Special acts of congress also were discussed.
 At the moment no one seems to know what disposition may be made finally of the question. Cain insists the issue is closed, but others are pressing for some com- promise.

WONA4A M AAOA v W O NANAAA
 In 6 land where everybody from
 he baby to grandpa swims, the richest girl in the world" sudden " has been involved in a contro- versy. With her husband, James Cromwell, she purchased 8 $l0O,- 900 estate at Kaalawai, and an- nounced plans to construct 8 house to cost more than half a million dollars.
 Originally headlined in Florida newspapers as "The Tai Mahal of Florida" when the house was planned for Duke and Cromwell property in that state, the home here was to have spacious out door swimming pool. But the Honolulu Harbor board rejected an application by William D.. Cross, Jr., representing the Crom- wells, asking permission to con- struct the pool on beach property immediately adjoining the state.
 Alternative Is Offered
 "The only way I see for the Cromwells to build that swimming poor there," said Louis Cain, chair man of the harbor board, "is for them to throw it open to the pub lie at all times" They'll have to build 1t on their own property if they want it to be private"
 Mayor Fred Wright suggested the Cromwells buy beach property
 elsewhere and deed it to Honolulu in return for the right of building their swimming pool near their estate. The Chamber of Commerce, the Hawaii Tourist Bureau, the Engineers Association of Hono- lulu, Coy. Joseph B. Poindexter, Attorney General William Pitt man, Police Chief William Gabriel son and the democratic party be- came involved in the issue.
 There's nothing but a lot of rocks on the beach there, anyhow" !" commented Gabrielson. Nobody but fishermen go down there."
 T certainly wouldn't give up 8 million dollar investment in Honol- ulu just to keep the public walk ing over rocks instead of having 8 fino promenade on top of stone

After weeks of police questioning.
the prisoner, August Pascal. broke
down and confessed that he had stolen
Blakeley Coughlin. But for the genius
of one reddish old bloodhound, he
might perhaps have gone free.
A little girl wandered from her home
in the Kentucky foothills. She had
been seen last at the edge of deep
pond. After police and neighbors had
hunted everywhere for twenty-seven
hours. Captain v. G. Mullikin was
sent for. to bring his best bloodhound
into the search on "cold scent" At
midnight Mullikin and his hound came
to the edge of the pond wherein the
baby's body was supposed to lie.
With sniff of contempt for such
theory, the hound made for wooded
hill in the distance. Mullikin and the
father followed as best they could.
Presently they tripped over tree root
in the darkness and fell. The hound
jerked the leash from his masters grip
and forged on alone.
Half an hour later, Mullikin and the
father came up with him. standing
above a newly awakened little girl,
whose arms were tight about his
shaggy neck. The formidable man.
hunter was licking her face and trying
to comfort her. Truly an anti-climax-
scene for those to whom bloodhound"
is a name of terror!
think it is this name, blood
hound, which has given its bearer his
undeserved repute for savagery. Yet
the name sorigin was harmless enough.
When a wounded deer or other game,
centuries ago. escaped from the ring
of the encircling killer dogs. leaving
trail of blood, this breed of hound was
brought up to trace the CORY trail to
the quarry's final place of refuge.

THIS WEEK
BlOodhounds on the Trail
Continued from page five

The horde of plainclothesmen jumped
to the ground, Commissioner yanking
at his leash and whimpering. They
plunged into the woods. making in a
semi-circle for the spot where they
had seen the sheet.
Most of them reached their chosen
hiding places before the flyer whizzed
by. Just after it had gone past the
sheet, package was tossed out.
The trap was set.
Presently the crouching plainclothes-
men in the woods saw a man stroll
along the railroad right of way. The
stranger glanced idly at the money
package. But he did not stoop to pick
it up. He sauntered on. Then he
hesitated and turned back. What next
he may have planned to do was not
done. For he caught glimpse of one
of the hidden watchers in the under
growth. He wheeled - and another
policeman grabbed him from behind.
The trap had sprung. But was any
thing caught! The man had not
touched the package of money. He
might be. as he declared. an innocent
passerby. He denied all knowledge of
the sheet.
Then it was that Commissioner and
Corporal Russell came into the pic
ture. Commissioner was led straight to
the sheet, without being taken within
many yards of the prisoner. The red
hound smelled long and thoughtfully
at various parts of the sheet, especially
where hands had been busy tying its
corners to the trees.
As soon as he had established the
scent to his own satisfaction, Commits
sioner dashed away. Straight through
the clump of police he ran. He halted
in front of the prisoner, rising on his
hindlegs and bracing both splayed
forepaws on the mans chest. Then he
walked the echoes with bugle-voiced
bay of triumph. His work was done.
Where trained human wits had failed
to establish a link between the captive
and the signal sheet. one sad-eyed lop-
cared old red bloodhound had forged
that link past all chance of breaking.
