Convention
The Delegates Nominate a
Strong Ticket.

Bat little of the work of the Re
publican convention could be pub
lishcd in our last issue for the reason
that the convention was hardly ovel
at the time we went To press.
On Thursday afternoon the com
mittccS on platform and rules mad,
their report and the same were
adopted without a change.
In the afternoon the delegates
from the various districts went into
caucus to discuss the merits of the
various possible candidates for dis
trict officers and decide whom they
would choose as such. The names
of the candidates for district officers
appeared in our last issue and are to
bcfound elsewhere in this issue. All
of these were nominated Thursday
except the Supervisor for Hama and
the one from Makawao.
The nomination of candidate for
Sheriff was the first County office to
fill. w. +. Saffery and r. II. Hitch
cock were placed in nomination.
Saffery received scventy-one votes
and Hitchcock received fifteen on the
first ballot, making Saffery the
choice of the convention.
L. NJ. Baldwin was the only namc
proposed for Treasurer and he was
nominated by acclamation. This
course was the one pursued in the
matter of nominating a candidate
for Auditor and Charles Wilcox was
the choice while w: f. Kaae was
the unanimous choice of the convcn-
ton for County Clerk.
The only lively voting in the con-
vention was for the nomination of
County Attorney. R. II. Hitchcock
of Molokai, J. W. Kalua and Enos
Vincent were the nominees.
On the first ballot Hitchcock re-
ceived - votes, just one less than
the number required to nominate
him, Kalua received 32 and Enos
Vincent received y, with one for J.
l.. Coke, who is a Democrat and had
not been nominated.

Attorney James l.. Coke was the
next speaker. In few well chosen
words he congratulated the boys on
their victory and expressed a hope
that the interest in sport would con-
tinuc and that the time was not far
distant when the association would
own its own grounds.
Superintendent j. \. s: Williams
was the next speaker called upon.
He told of what the kahului h. r.
Co. had done in laying off the choic-
est grounds of Maui for a baseball
site and of their having fenced the
same and were now having trees
planted and would otherwise i'm
prove the grounds and in all prob
ability turn the grounds over to
some local association where games
could be played not only by the
local teams but by teams from Hilo
and Honolulu.
After the addresses the guests sat
down to an excellent spread. Music
was furnished by the Laniuma club
under the leadership of Carl Rose.
Dancing was kept up for some hours
which all seemed to thoroughly en-
joy.
The Kahului h. Il. Co. furnished
special trains for the occasion which
was taken advantage of by hundreds
of people from all over central Maui,
1t was a most successful entertain
ment and was thoroughly enjoyed
by all present. The Kahului base
ball team and the management at
Kahului are to be congratulated on
the manner in which the whole en-
tertainment was conducted,

An Estate
VaniSheS
Judge Kalua given Scathiug
Roast by J. lightfOOt.

A sensation of unequalled pro-
portions was created in the Circuit
Court of the second Circuit on
Thursday of this week when after
ney J. Lightfoot moved the Court
to commit County Attorney John
W.Kalua to Jail on charge of per-
jury.
The final accounts of Rev 5.
Kapu, administrator of the estate
of Henry Cooper Jr. were before
the court for approval.
Rev. Kapu has filed his final ac-
counts which showed that besides
the real estate there should be on
hand five head of work cattle, one
filly and 1858. 10 bnt as a matter
of fact there is but ten cents in the
hands of the ad ninistrator and no
vouchers for1the distribution of the
money or other personal property
which have, as the Court remark
ed, evaporated The estatei is one
of many that have been handled
in the past in this circuit in Il
most astonishing manner and was
watched with interest.
On the 2Sth of September Judge
A. N. Kepoikai appointed Attorney
j. Lightfoot Amlcus Curiae. Mr..
Lightfoot went into the case at
once and made careful investiga-
ton of the records and examined
witnesses and filed an exhaustive
and able report on the condition of
the estate.
He in part says, "On February
9th, 1899 Rev. S. Kapu received
from j. N. X. Keola. Clerk Second
Circuit Court 1909. 95. | desire to
point out to your Honor that from
the said 9th day of February 1899,
there is evidently no pretense of
investment of this large sum of
money.
"There is no reason that can be
ascertained from the records why
this estate was not promptly closed
in about eight months, (See Es-
tate of Kaiu, IS Hawn. page 39S),
but not only has the Estate been
kept open since 1899, but no ac-
counts have been filed and the
money has evidently been allowed
to lie idle in the hands of the adj
ministrator. | respectfully suggest
therefore, that the Administrator
should be charged with legal in
terest on said $S09.95 from the 9th
day of February 1899 to the Oath
day of April 1905 at the rate OF
60 per annum and interest from
the said OATH day of April 1905 to,
the date hereof at the rate of $50
per annum.

lowing curios observations:
