Her Soul is white. She came to us as a very small child when her mother was our cook. In this day one would call her a “Kitchen Maid.” At the time she came to us the other servants spoke of her as “Nellie,” she helps wash the “deeshes.” Later on my Mother trained her as her own per¬ sonal maid and Nellie was taught to do everything. My Mother, of course, had in mind Nellie’s future life, which Nellie graphically explains to everyone, “Mis Daingerfield, she taught me all I knows.” Nellie has never lived with any other than my Daingerfields and is the one I love first.

    THE NAVY AND THE Massie-Kahahawai Case THE POT CALLS THE KETTLE BLACK! -Cartoon by Bill Mora.n A Timely Account of a Dark Page In Hawaiian History Worthy of Study.. 25 Cents { PREFACE During the-past-two decades the Massie-Kahahawai case has been a symbol in Hawaii of a double standard of justice ~ one standard for the well-connected haole and another standard for the non-white generally. Nearly every Islander has heard of the case. Memories of the kidnaping and murder of Joseph Kahahawai by three Navy men and a wealthy society matron, who escaped with a token punish­ ment of one hour's detention, served in an anteroom at historic Iolani Palace, will long live in the minds and stir the emotions'of local peopie. Kahahawai and four companions had been accused--of rap­ ing Mrs. Thalia Massie, daughter of an heiress and wife of a Navy - All cartoons in this pamphlet are by Bill Moran and officer. After the four lynchers left the Islands, the Territorial government engaged the Pinkerton Detective Agency to make a , appeared in the Hawaii Hochi at the time of the Massie thorough investigation of the case. The Pinkerton report proves Case. They are reprinted here by courtesy of Hawaii conclusively that the youths were framed. Rochi; But this report, prepared at the taxpayers' expense, reposes in the Archives, unknown to the general public. Territorial officials did not dare publish it and face the wrath of white racists on the Mainland and in l{awaii. Island people generally, though they may be uncertain about the details of the Massie case, know that injustice was done in 1932 because white racist feeling was whipped up to fever pitch in the Navy, on the Mainland and in certain -Island circles.

    / TAKEN FROM THOMAS’ CHRONICLES OF MARYLAND' ^'3-/J-43 MARYLAND MANUAL 1907-1908 A COMPENDIUM Legal, Historical and Statistical Information relating to the STATE OF MARYLAND Published Under Act of 1900, Chapter 240 Compiled by OSWALD TILGHMAN Secretary of State BALTIMORE : Wm. J. C. Dulany Co. Chapter 48, Acts of 1904. An Act to formally adopt and legalize the Maryland Flag. Whueuas, It is represented to the General Assembly that the flag designed and used as the Flag of Maryland, under the Proprietary Government, and which is still known as the Maryland Flag, has never been formally adopted by Maryland as a State, its use having been continued by common consent only; and Whereas, It is not only desirable that the official Flag of Maryland should be formally adopted and legalized, but it is eminently fitting that, by reason of its historic interest and meaning, as well as for its beauty and harmony of colors, the flag adopted should be the one which, from the earliest settlement of the Province to the present time, has been known and distinguished as the Flag of Maryland; therefore, Section i. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the flag heretofore, and now in use, and known as the Maryland Flag, be and the same is hereby legalized and adopted as the flag of the State of Maryland, which said flag is particularly described, as to coloring and arrangement, as follows: Quartered—the first and fourth quarters being paly of six pieces, or and sable, a bend dexter counter- changed; the second and third, quarterly, argent and gules, a cross bottonly countersigned; that is to say, the first and fourth quarters con- sist of six vertical bars alternately gold and black with a diagonal band on which the colors are reversed, the second and third consisting of a quartered field of red and white, charged with a Greek Cross, its arms terminating in trefoils, with the coloring transposed, red being on the white ground and white on the red, and all being as represented upon the escutcheon of the present Great Seal of Maryland.
