WHETHER TO DOUBLE
OR TREBLE CAPITAL
That Is the Question Before Paia
and Haiku Stockholders
This Morninq.

Whether the capital stocks of the
Paia and Haiku plantations are to be
doubled or trebled viii be decided at
the deferred meeting of the stockhold-
ers of these corporations this morning,
at which meeting H. P. Baldwin, the
heaviest holder, will be present. Both
plantations have had prosperous years
and in both the assets have so far
outrun the capitalization that some
equalization seems necessary.
The plantations form part of the
holdings of the Maui Agricultural com
pany. the assets of which are five and
half million dollars and which in
the last season shipped twenty-nine
thousand tons of sugar. The Haiku
plantation, which represents holding
of twelve thirty -fifths of the company,
is capitalized at only half million,
and the Paia plantation, which holds
eighteen thirty -ffths of the shares of
the company. has a capitalization Of
only three-quarters of million. The
capitalization of the two combined IS
only a million and quarter and their
assets, as represented in the agricul-
tural company, foot up to over 81
100000.

Carter and Cooke, together with Messrs.

that more than likely liberal gifts other

today. 1t is barely possible that this
viii be the occasion for making the
decision that the campaign will be
shortened to the half of ten days. How
ever, there is nothing more than CON
lecture about this at present.
There will be enough hustle during
the rest of the campaign to satisfy the
most ardent admirer of the whirlwind
method. 1t is purposed to do simply
double work this morning and to forget
that the afternoon of Saturday is a
half holiday. There will be enough
time to rest on Sunday in recovery

GRAND JURORS
ARE AFTER
MORT
Federal Body viii Probably
Indict Editor Sheba's
Assailant.
SOGA ALSO IN MORE TROUBLE
Four True Bill Against Editor of
Nippu Jill Have Been
Found.
s0GA ALSO IN MORE TROUBLE

Mori, the Maui Japanese, who made
Sfhe murderous attempt on the life of
Editor. Sheba, which lacked only an
inch of being fatal, is liable to have to
stand trial in the Federal court for vio-
lations of the United States statutes.
He has been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the grand jury when that body
sits again, which will be next Monday.
1t is understood that very serious
charges are to be preferred against him
and that one or more indictments viii
almost certainly be returned against
the would-be assassin, who is now act
ing as an agent of the Higher Wage
Association.
The Federal grand jury has found
four indictments against Editor Sega
of the Nippu Jiji, who is accused on
that number of counts of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails. If he
is convicted, his punishment in the
Federal court is liable to be much more
serious for him than the sentence pass
ed upon him by Circuit Judge De Bolt
for conspiracy.
The Federal authorities are hot after
the senders of obscene matter through
the mails, and Sega is said to be one
of the most fragrant offenders in that
line. Repeated warnings by the United
States officials have had no effect with
certain of the japanese, who persist in
doing a. they please. But United
States District ATTORNEY Breckons is
determined to put stop to such con
temptuous disregard of the laws of the
United States and will prosecute the
offenders to the full extent of the law
Several true bills have also been
found against Editor Yokogawa, of the
Maui Shinbun, though they have not
yet been returned into court Yoke
gawa, it is charged, continued sending
obscene publications through the mails
even after he had been twice arrested
for the offense and was awaiting the
action of the grand Jury

Plans to Send an Expedition to
Summit of the Peak
Next Year.
AND AGAIN CHARGES BRIBERY
Insists That He Can Prove That
He Scaled the Mountain
as Claimed.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, October 16.--Doctor
Cook says he win send an expedition
next year to climb Mount Mckinley
and secure the records which he placed
on the summit of the peak when he
made the ascent. Should he produce
these records the doctor will be able
to refute the charges made by Barrill
and the photographer who accompanied
the Mount Mckinley expedition, to the
effect that the data concerning the
ascent, and the photographs, were
faxed by Doctor Cook.
Doctor Cook has not reeeded from
the stand which he took at the begin
ming of the controversy and yesterday
he reiterated his belief that Barrill
received money to make the affidavit
that Mount Mckinley was not scaled
and that the claims of Cook are with
out foundation.
The Cook-Peary controversy has more
or less been lost sight Of in the recent
discussion as to whether or not Mount
Mckinley was scaled by Doctor Cook.
The affidavit of Barrill has oecasioned
widespread discussion. Doctor Cook
appears to be sincere in his determine
ion to send an expedition to the sum-
nit of Mount Mckinley and he insists
that such an expedition will discover
records which be placed on the top of
the mountain when he made the climb.

A Valuable Hen.

High records in the hen family have
been shattered by Plymouth Rock hen
in the poultry yards of H. HI. Loomis
of Geneva.
Early on the morning of Feb. 8, two
eggs of normal size were found under
''No. z" as she is known. On Feb. 4
she laid double.yoked egg weighing
over three ounces, making practically
four eggs in two days. On Thursday,
Feb. 25, she laid another double yoked
egg weighing 81 ounces and measured
g. x7@ inches, on Friday normal egg,
and on Saturday she did the very re-
markable "stunt" of laying three eggs,
weighing % ounces, and each identical
in shape and size. At 4 p. m. the nests
were visited and not trap was sprung,
at o'clock when Mrs. Loomis made
her hourly rounds, one nest was occu-
pied and on releasing the hens, she
was dumfounded to find three eggs
AS the record of the trap nest is alb
solutely unimpeachable, since the hen,
once in cannot escape until released
aster noting the number of her leg
band, nor no other can enter, the truth
of the occurrence cannot be questioned.

Good Things to Forget.

Marsden declares that there is moth.
ing more depressing than to dwell up
on the lost opportunities of misspent
life. Whatever your past has been,
says the Erie Times, forget it. If it
throws a shadow upon the present or
causes melancholy or dependency,
there is nothing in it which helps you.
There is not a single reason why you
should hold it in your memory and
there are a thousand reasons why
you should bury it so deeply that it can
never be resurrected. Nothing is more
foolish, more positively wicked, than
to drag the skeleton of the past-the
hideous images, the foolish deeds, the
unfortunate experiences of the past
into tO-day's work to mar and spoil it.
There are plenty of people who have
been failures up to the present moment
who could do wonders in the future if
they would only forget the past, if
they only had the ability to cut it off,
to close the door on it forever and start
anew.

$4,000, 900 is Due State.

An amazing condition of the books
of the state treasury is laid bare in a
communication from State Treasurer
Sheath to Attorney General Todd re-
Gently.
The statements shows that millions
of dollars due the commonwealth in
taxes from corporations in years past
were not collected. In going over
about one-third of the accounts of the
treosurer's books an aggregate of $3,-
100000 uncollected tax money has been
found and at this ratio the amount un-
collected would reach the enormous
sum of $S,000,000.
The investigation has been carried
back from 1907 to 1882. Among other
things State Treasurer Sheath has
found many hundreds of entries of
payments that were not credited to the
accounts.
The treasurer urges that some steps
be taken to collect what is collectable
of this amount and to remove the re-
mainder from the books of the depart
ment.
