PANESE
Maui Looks for Trouble
To Come.
Severely Restrictive Methods Said
To be Necessary General
News.

WAILUKU, Maui, August 3.-The
News says: 1t is already becoming ap-
parent to the peop,e of the Islands,
more particularly to the police and
| other officers of the law, that there is
going to be serious trouble with the idle
and criminal class of Japanese who
have recently been released from the
restraints of their labor contracts.
Thievery in mild form is becoming
epidemic among them on Maui, gam
bling and illicit manufacture of intoXi-
cants is quite common, and many of
them have no conscientious ScrupleS
against the graver offenSeS, not eXclud-
ing murder Itself. At present, the Jap
anese themselves are the principal suf-
ferers at the hands of their laWless
brethren, but it is to be feared that
If severely restrictive methods of hand
ling this class of Japanese are not
adopted, the people of the Islands gem
orally will suffer at their hands.
STEAMER TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Wanted, a fast steamer to ply be-
tween San Francisco and kahului di-
rect, This may at first glance appear
visionary, but as n matter of fact, such
n steamer fitted with cold storage to
carry Island fruits, such as bananas,
pineapples and avocado pears, to San
Francisco, and to bring fresh beef.
mutton, fish and vegetables to theNIs-
land, would develop a large trade in
these commodities. With passenger
rates at reasonable figures it would do
a considerable passenger traffic. Dur
ing the sugar season ii would always
have cargo for the Coast only limited
by its carrying capacity and there is
no question but that ii would be loaded
TO the gunwales with Island merchan-
disc every trip down, to say nothing
of the fat mail contract which II would
get from Uncle Sam.
WAILUKU LACKS SOCIETY.
To the ladies of Wailuku: Won't you
please try to infuse little social life
into our little town? Really, it lies in
your hands to do so. Get up little card
parties and invite us men to join you.
If we hesitate, have something good to
eat. That will catch us as nothing else
can. Try Chatauqua; that might
work Emulate the example of the
good people of Mal<awao and have lit
erares, debating societies, reading
clubs-anything, in fact, which will get
the people together and develope what
IL. painfully lacking in Wailuku,
pleasant social intercourse. DO this In
pity for the men who have absolutely
no possible use for their evenings.
a POI SUPPER.
\ most enjoyable poi supper took
place at the residence of Mrs. Bailey
of Makawao, ON Saturday evening, July
2Sth. The spacious VCrnnda was hand
somely decorated, the entire floor being
strewn with ferns ON which the feast
was sot out, In true Hawaiian fashion.
All Hawaiian delicacies were i'm evil

course being the coffee aud cake with
which the feast wound up. After all
