There has always been q certain

OF Queen Victoria The authorities OF
the Roval College Of Heralds assumed
that the fourth finger was the smallest

however. declared that the thumb count
ed as the first finger, and consequently
insisted at the proper moment during
the coronation IN placing the ring by

Queens hand. He took the ground that
any departure from the ritual might i'm

Death Claims
Il. Bailey
Had Been III for the Past
Four Years.

Word was received here Monday
by cable and wireless of the death
of William II. Bailey in Los An
geles. No details of the immediate
cause of death have yet been receiv-
ed but it is known that when he was
here four years ago he visited Wal
kapu valley in company with Man
ager Wells and on the trip got his
feet wet and his clothing damp in
which condition he remained at the
home of Mr.. Wells during the even
ing which resulted in his taking II
severe cold from which he never re-
covered.
William Fl. Bailey was born in
Wailuku, January "a, 1912. He was
a son of Rev. Edward Bailey. He
was associated with his father and
brother Edward in the sugar indus
try and was the outside manager for
the firm while Edward Bailey was
the manager of the mill which stood
on the grounds now occupied by the
residence of Manager H. B. Pen
hallow.
After two years as outside mana
ger he bought out the interest of his
brother and two years later amalg-
amated with the Wailuku Sugar Co.
and became manager, succeeding
Captain Wilfong. He let out the
land on shares to James G. Bailey,
E. H. Bailey, w. H. Cummings, E.
H. Rogers, w. O. Smith and one
other and two years later the Wal
luku Sugar Co. paid its first divi-
dend.
He remained as manager until
1885 when he sold out his interests
and went to California where he has
since made his home.
In 1867 he was married to Miss
Anna Hebron. A son and a daugh-
ter were born of this union. Mrs.
Bazata, a former resident of Sunny
side was his daughter. His son re-
rides in California.
Mr.. Bailey was a highly respected
resident of Maui and was one of the
successful pioneers in the sugar in
dustry Of the islands.

Rain at Last
in Kula
Dry Section Now Green and
People Happy.

On December 29th, an attempted
murder and suicide took place at
Koheo, Kula. A Korean man stab
bed a japanese woman in the neck
seven or eight times and thinking
that he had killed her fled but realiz-
ing that he could not escape from
the island returned to the vicinity
the same night and attempted sui
eide by cutting his throat in the corn
stOrehouse of Il Chinese who later
found the wounded man covered
with bags and slowly bleeding to
death.
The Chinese the next morning
summoned Deputy Sheriff Edgar
Morton.
DR.. w. F. McConkey attended
the Korean who will survive to be
punished for his evil deed.
The woman is in critical con-
dition but may recover.
1t is surmised that the cause of
the assault was a quarrel about
money.
The man and woman had been
living together for some months and
it is thought that the latter had be-
come weary of supporting the former
who was a worthless fellow. 1t is
stated that the Korean was gam
bier and was formerly employed by
the government in kula as a sort of
spy or detective in the Korean count
erfeiting case.
On New Years Day the Paia
tennis club held an all day tour
nament on their courts near the
depot, thus repeating the success of
last year.
The Omapio and Pulehu colonies
of Japanese cornplanters will con-
tinue to hold their lands another
year, Haleakala Ranch Co. having
extended their leases. There has
been same hesitancy on the part of
the corporation about continuing the
agreement with the Japanese in as
much as the lands in question are
well-nigh exhausted owing to the
planting of the same crop year after
year.
The engagement of Miss Ethel
Taylor to Mr.. f. r. Bevins has been
recently announced. Miss Taylor is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S. E.
Taylor of Hamakuapoko and Mr..

Wrecked on
Spartan Reef
Alexander Black is a Total
Loss.


ty-three tons of nitrates consigned
to Alexander d Baldwin went ashore
about mile nearer Paia than where
the Spartan was wrecked four years
ago last August.
1t was about $3.50 O'Clock Tues
day afternoon when a heavy down
pour of rain partly hid the danger
Gus coral reef, which puts out a long
distance there, that Captain VIM.
Griffiths found he was among the
breakers, too late to avoid the loss
of the vessel.
The only excuse that can be given
for bringing the ship into the break
ers is ignorance of the coral along
the coast. There are two thousand
miles of open sea off shore and why
any sane man would deliberately.run
his ship where there would in all
probability be danger when there
was no excuse for it remains mys-
terry.
An hour before the vessel struck
residents of Paia saw the danger and
manager H. A. Baldwin and S.
Hooking of the Maui Agricultural
Co. felt that assistance would be
needed and rode down to the shore.
AS the boats with the men came
toward the shore signalled them to
a cove where safe landing was cas-
lily made.
Much credit is due for the fore
thought and action of these two
gentlemen for without their assist
ance it is very probable that no land
ing could have been made and the
loss of life would have been added
to the great property loss sustained
The ship was abandoned before
she struck. Her anchors were lashel
in place and her lower sails set, in
which condition she was driven hard
and fast on "A sandy spot in the main
reef about mile from shore.
Not even the ships papers were
taken ashore by the Captain, so great
was the haste to get away.
There were nineteen souls aboard
and not one brought anything
ashore except the clothes they had
on and these were soaking wet.
Supt. J. n. S. Williams of the
Kahului Railroad Co. at once had
the men outfitted at the Puunent
Store with warm, dry clothing and
beds and meals provided at the Ka,
