HOME FOR AGED
BALDWIN, PLAN
Maui PhiIanthropist Provides
for Institution That
Is Needed.

Through the public-spirited pbiIan-
thropy of Mr.. H. P. Baldwin, the Ter
ritory of Hawaii will soon have a home
for the aged, In memory of Fred C.
Baldwin, to be located at Makawao.
Maui. Plans for the home are being
prepared by Architect Kerr, and ac-
tive construction work will be UNDER
taken in about two months time, when
Mr.. Baldwin will have returned from
a trip to the mainland.
The first buildings OF the home wiz
accommodate about forty people, and
provision viii be made for the extern
sion and enlargement Of the home to
meet the requirements of the future.
Homelike accommodations and pri-
vaey are the two essentials that
Architect Kerr has obtained in the
preliminary plan for the home that he
has drawn up.
The buildings that will be first con-
structed viii consist of four cottages.
two to consist Of eight rooms each
and two to have six rooms. There
will be a general sitting-room in each
cottage. The cottages will be connect
ed with the main building by veran-
das. the general plan of the buildings
calling for the adaptation Of the quad
rangle system.
In the main building will be lo-
Gated the quarters for the help, offices,
dining-room, hospital and auxiliary
departments. In the center of the
grounds there will be sun bath, q
swimming pool and a pergola.
The site for the home has been set
aside by the Maui Agricultural Com
pany and is an excellent one for the
purpose in view. Particular attention
has been made 50 as to allow for the
enlargement of the home in the flu
ture if it be found necessary.
It is estimated that the cost of the
buildings now planned will amount to
s30. 900, all of which has been contrib
uted by Mr.. Baldwin.

COL. PARkER's PLANS
FOR MANOA VALLEY

Colonel Samuel Parker, who has re-
Gently purchased the pretty McClana-
han home in upper Afanoa Valley. has
informed a couple OF the county SUI
pervisors that If the county can not
at present afford to repair the road
in Manoa to the upper end, he will
be glad to foot the bill if the road
is built by contract, and the county
can pay him later on when it is flush.
1t is quite likely that this generous
offer will be accepted.
It is said that Colonel Parker may
send for his son Ernest Parker to
come back to Honolulu to refurnisf
and redecorate his new home, which
is to be made one of the show places
OF the suburbs, and a home of good
fellowship.

JAP STRIKERS APPEAR TO BE WEAKENING
Agitators Hurry Down
to the Plantations to
Brace Them Up.
LATEST FROM THE STRIKE.

From what could be gathered
of the results of yesterdays de-
velopments in the strike situa-
ton, it is believed that the
strikers are weakening and that
they did not move toward Ho-
nolulu, especially from Waipahu
and Aiea, with the alacrity
hoped for by the agitators. For
this reason, it is said that Ma
} kino, Negoro. the editor of the
Nippu, and other subordinates,
, made a special trip in an auto
not only to Aiea and Waipahu,
but to Waialua and Kahuku as
, well, in order to stir up more
enthusiasm and TO cause the
, leaders on the plantations to
force the strikers into a firmer
attitude toward the planters. A
report reached this office late
, last night that only two hum
bred men came to town yes
terday. Around the plantation
, offices yesterday it was under
, stood that very large num-
Der of the Japanese preferred
not only to remain on the
b plantation, but to actually go
back TO their work, but some
b peculiar influence of the leaders
held them back.

Here was a baby-carriage piled up
with household goods, the baby being
strapped to the mothers back to make
room for them.
Most of the strikers carried lamps
And so they struggled on and on until

were strewn with baggage, although
there were gaps in the line, and it was
easy to discover the reason. Behind
those gaps were Chinese shops, and

Maxine Gets Their Money.
All forenoon the japanese seemed to
be just waiting. and finally they be-
came listless. Up around the planta-
ton office they swarmed, but only to
draw their pay, as notices had been
set up by Manager Bull notifying them
that they must get their pay and va
cate the quarters at II o'clock, so the
homes could be occupied by other Ia
borers Men and women brought in
their bangles" of brass, received
their time checks, pocketed their
money and walked away.
Nearby at two tables were represen-
tatives of the Maxine agitator crowd,
and each man who received his pay
was expected to stop at one of the
tables and pay over $780, for which
a receipt was given. This was each
mans enforced contribution to the
strike fund" They were told that by
so contributing they could depend
upon lodging and food in Honolulu.
They were not cheerfui-looking
crowd. There was a feeling among
the plantation men that the japanese
did not expect the plantation to carry
out their eviction order, but that at
the eleventh hour they would be told
TO return to work. But they were
mistaken if they had such an idea in
their heads. The plantation manage
ment was never SO firmly resolved to
carry out an order as then.
Strike Among Strikers.
Then it was learned that the con-
tractors did not want to accept their
pay. but that the strikers in general
demanded that they draw down their
money. The contractors, more than
anyone else, knew that this would in
volve considerable loss to them, for
they had broken their contracts. and
when paid off their fields of cane
| would yield no profits to them. One
| of the contractors. Watanabe, had to
be sent for. He, however, may not
| have wished to collect, for various
reasons, and one was that he had been
garnisheed during the forenoon for
about $500, the suit being brought by

The dog sprang to the front, circled
once, zigzagged through the ferns
around us and, all in moment, stiff
fened stock still, rigid as sculptured
bronze. l stepped forward, raising my
gun, two PAGES, three PAGES, ten per
haps, before a great cock-grouse blum
dered up from the brake and burst
through the thicket fringe toward the
deeper growth. There was flash and
puff from my gun, a crash of echoes
among the low wooded cliffs, and
through the faint veil of smoke some
thing dark dropped from mid-air amid
a cloud of feathers, brown as the
brown leaves under foot.
Fetch"
Up from the ground sprang Voyou,
and in a moment he came galloping
back, neck arched, tail stiff but wav-
ing, holding tendesly in his pink mouth
a mass of notified bronzed feathers
Very gravely he laid the bird at my
feet and crouched close beside 1t, his
silky ears across his paws, his muzzle
on the ground.

held for moment a silent caressing
communion with Voyou, then swung
my gun under my arm and motiohed

It must have been five o'clock when

woods and sat down to breathe. Voyou
came and sat down in front of me.
"Well?" inquired.
Voyou gravely presented one paw
which l took.

dinner" said I, 80 we might as we'll
take 1t easy. It's all your fault, you
know. Is there brier in your foot?
Let's see-there! it's out, my friend,
and you are free to nose about and

you'll get it all over twigs and moss.

Voyou was a little tired. He
stretched out on the leaves at my feet,
but whether or not he really slept

legs twitched and l knew he was
dreaming of mighty deeds.
