MAUI. August 24-The most inter-
esting political question on Maui at
present is who shall be nominated by
the Republicans as candidate for
senator to succeed Hon. c. H. Dickey.
Wailuku politicians ask with justice
that some one from their district be
nominated. and so probably the nom
ination will go to Wailuku. In addition
to the Wailuku citizens already named
CHon. S. Keliinoi Hon. W. j. CoeIho
and George Weight). H. NJ. Coke, edi-
tor of the Maui News. is being men
toned although he has not as yet con-
sented to go before the district con-
vention as a candidate. If nominated
Mr.. Coke will receive the support of
the school teachers inasmuch as but a
short time ago he was principal of the
needs of Hawaiian schools and teach
ers most thoroughly.
Some of the Portuguese are asking
that "a Portuguese Republican be nom
some of the names mentioned are Enos
Vincent of Paia. Joaquin Medeiros of
Puunene and Joaquin Garcia of Wal
luku. Tax Assessor A. F. Tavares of
Makawao would make a good legisla-
tor but he much prefers his present
position.
RACING AT KAHULUI.
Saturday afternoon, the 18th, some
match races were run at Spreckels'
Park, Kahului. The most interesting
event of the occasion was the contest
between w H. CornwelTs Happy
Hooligan" and Fred Smiths "Eura-
peat, for $40 side. Euradius won two
heats in succession in Al and AZ sec
onds and took the purse. However,
the question as to which is the better
horse is not yet settled, for the lad
who rode "Hooligan" in warming up
the three-year-old just prior to the race
couldn't hold him and Hooligan ran
three times around the half-mile track
before he was stopped. Then after
short interval the race was called and
Hooligan ran it in a somewhat ex-
hausted condition. While he was run
ming away it is stated that he made
the three eighths of mile and repeat in
80 and 3S 1-5 seconds. What Euradfus
could do or can do is at present an
unknown quantity. for the racer is
commonly spoken of as dark horse
There was a large attendance of
Waikiki and Kahului people at the
track during the afternoon.
THE TIDAL WAVE.
The high seas that swept over the
Maalaea and McGregor landings on the
Wednesday of last week did not do
great damage. County Engineer Hugh
Howell, who has visited the scene of
disaster, reports that 10 or 20 dollars
will repair the injury to McGregor's
landing and that the wharf at Maalaea
Bay is in no worse condition than
formerly, which of course does not
mean that Maalaea's pier is in any
thing but a dilapidated state.
RIGHT OF WAY FIGHT.
During Wednesday and Thursday.
Circuit Judge A. n. Kepoikai in cham
bers at Wailuku has been trying q
case in equity entitled Maui Agricul-
tural Co. versus Louisa Mossman ana
George E. Miner to amend deed or
right of way through Lilikoi and XII
lau gulch in Makawao.
About q year ago Mrs. Louisa Moss
man brought damage suit against
the plantation company for SO 0o0 for
laying a ditch pipe across land belong
ing to her in Makawao. The Dlanta-
ton company secured an injunction
from Judge Kepoikai stopping the dam
age suit and the present case in equity
is the outcome of the injunction is /
sued.
The Agricultural Co. claims that 1t
purchased the right of way through the
Mossman land at the same time that
they bought the right of way through
the I.ilikoi and Kilau land from G. E.
Miner. who then owned all the lands
but by some inadvertence
the deed conveying the right made no
mention of the 33 acres afterward
given by Miner TO his daughter. Mrs.
Nossnan Hence the reason OF the
desired amendment.
Yesterday afternoon after two days
of examination of witnesses, the attor-
news submitted briefs without any
closing remarks or arguments. A
Lewis was the attorney for the plain
tiff. and c. w Ashford for the defend
ant.
