MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, ffGc,

1t was announced recenbtyt that
DR.. Frederick A. Cook had writ
ten for Hampton's Magazine a.
story in which he acknowledges
that he !dpes not know fer sure
whether] he reached the North
Pole or1hpt. In sthe1frst INSTALL
ment Of |his story, which will ap-A
pear in4the Forthcoming January
number of Hampton'S,. DR.. Cook Cook
makes Some remarkable: state
mentsj Iamong them being the
statement. that his conviction
that he. reachedy theaPole legnevert
was based solely qpon. qpa ,opserya,: 's's u !.
tions, figures Or mathematical
calculations" and that what he
relied on most was observation
of, his shadow. He says that
when he first started on that trip
he. had no definite pourpose of
making try for the Pole, but
that that had been a lifelong am
bition, that he finally decided to
step over and take look at the
Pole, and that his inner tonFic-
ton that he reached the Pole
might have been insane. EX-
cerpts from the first installment
show that the doctors story is
entertaining, anyway. He says
twas all a lie about the gum
drops, that marry a gumdrop did
he have, and that it hurt his
feelings considerably the way
the gumdrop racket was played
up. We're betting on the doc.
He did not rely on vanishing
sweets but on shadows. Nc
doubt doc. can go right back te
the Pole and pick up a shadow
that will prove so conclusively
he's been there that those wise
r1en who said he hadn't vii
want to go way back and si-
down. The only thing tina
Worries US is, we've been think
ing all along that by the time he
reached the Pole he was so thil
from being off his feed that do
couldn't make a shadow. Nov
that that point is settled, though
We no longer doubt.

"A Red Springs citizen,.r writing

somewhat" depressing contrast
between business morals forty or
fifty years ago. and those obtain

zens," he. thinks, may Fl have
been guilty Of a good many sins
both Of omission and commission,
but they We're honest and sincere
in their dealing with their fellow

word mortgage, and as for liens
they had never heard of thern.
In most cases a mans word was
as good as his bond and trickery
and short cuts were looked upon
by the better portion Of the citi-
zens as beneath a 'gentleman's S

about this great change in the
moral status Of our citizenship
Was 1t because We We're not able

we have descended as a people
from the high plane We once oc-
cupied to one of catcIl-penny an6

We are inclined to believe that
the writer is taking too gloomy
a view Of present-day conditions.
There can be no question that
"trlckery and short cuts" are
still considered ''beneath a gen.

sers are ashamed to attend such
meetings for fear some people will
guy them, about irving to learn
to farm in that way. The farmers
who are in that case are literally,
no doubt, in q bad row for stumps
and will not take means offered
them to get out. AS in every

farmers are the ones who realize
that they do net know it all anC

who is not willing TO learn from

here Saturday who is responsible
for the fact that so much. meat

On Trial
For Perjury
Accused Man Is Ably De-
tended.

Attorney Nj. f. Prosser, of the
Honolulu law firm with a multipi-
city of names, came up Saturday
and Monday appeared in court as
attorney for Kawano, n japanese
merchant of Hama.
The defendant is charged with
having committed perjury in the
circuit court some months ago and
is one,of the men who was ordered
committed by Judge Kingsbury to
appear before the grand jury which
body returned true bill of indict-
ment against him.
The trial has occupied most of the
week and is one Of the most hotly
contested cases fought out in this
circuit.
The first move was to have Judge
Kingsbury disqualified on the
ground of prejudice and to this end
an affidavit was made by attorney
A. G.. Correa and filed in court. The
next move was to subpoena Judge
Kingsbury as witness.
The defense seems to be based ON
the theory that the japanese inter-
prefer n. X. Otsuka did not cor
rectly interpret the testimony of the
defendant at the time he is alleged
to have committed perjury. Judge
A. n. Kepoikai was one of the wit
nesses called for the defendant. His
testimony related to statement
Judge Kingsbury is said to have
made to Otsuka touching on. the
lack of confidence the court had in,
Mr.. Otsuka as an.interpreter. The
testimony however seemed More
favorable to the prosecution than to
the defendant.
County Attorney Case is putting
up strenuous fight while Attorney
Prosser is doing every thing possible
for his client.
The case is an exciting one and
the three cornered, tournament
among the two attorneys and the
court makes the court room the
leading attraction just now.

all Russians are fired, the campaign
on the prohibition question is due

Two Chinese
Are Shot
Attack Store-Keeper and
Come Out Second Best.

On Sunday morning a shooting
affair took place in Paia.
Tam Chong manages store there
and each month pays to the various
Chinese bosses the amount due the
laborers under them.
On the morning in question all
of the bosses has been paid off ex-
cept one. The man had been sent
for, but had failed to come, Two
OF his men came and demanded the
money due them. 1t is said Tam
Chong knew nothing of the amount
due the individuals, and so inform
ed the men. The men are alleged
to have attacked the store keeper
and struck and beat him. He final
ly drew his revolver and shot each
of them twice. One man was shot
through the arm and one bullet
went through the upper part of his
chest. The second man was shot
through the chest, the bullet just
missing the heart, while a second
bullet penetrated the abdomen.
The wounded men are said to be
improving.

Work on Park
Progresses
WaiIuku to Have Finest Park
in Territory.

The Board OF supervisors OF Maui
County at its last regular meeting
voted the sum of $500 forfhe clean.
ing and beautifying of the new pub
lie park in Wailuku, which adjoins
the Kahului Railroad Cos depot.
Supervisor T. b. Lyons and road
overseer w. e. Bal are taking a
good deal of interest in the work
and the people of Waikiki feel cer-
tain these gentlemen will do the
right thing by them and rush to
completion much needed recrea-
ton grounds, where sports of all
kinds may be enjoyed.
A force of men are already at
work clearing up, and the work of
leveling and laying out much
needed baseball diamond, will be
commenced soon.
The gMndstand will be erected in
the mauka Waikapu corner of the
grounds, which will not only be of
benefit to the players themselves,
but will also leave the other portion
of the grounds clear for all other
games that the public may indulge
in.
1t is understood that tennis
court will be layed out and the low
ers OF that game, who are quite
numerous in Wailuku, will no doubt
keep the same in constant use.
If the present plans are carried
out, Wailuku will have reason to
boast of the largest and finest play
grounds in the Territory and after
trees and grass are planted and
growing there will be nowhere Il
better place for open air exercise.
Not alone will the lovers of base
ball and tennis and other sports be
benefited. Road Overseer Bal will
have 30-foot wide oiled road built
around the park, and autoists will
also have the pleasure of running
their machines on the fine roads,
and there will, no doubt, be quite a
bit of scorching done.
Like all other parks the world
over, ours should have a name, and
already there are several names
suggested, Among the most prom
inent of them is that of Lyons
Park, in honor of the supervisor of
Wailuku district.
He was the person, it is claimed,
that worked the hardest and is res
ponsible for the acquisition of the
new park and should be honored in
that manner.
Nevertheless the work of clearing
up goes merrily on and there is
every reason to believe that within
a very few weeks the children, and
grown-up people as well. will have
a beautiful spot in which to roam at
will.

Editor MAUI NEWS.
| regret that you found it advis.
able or necessary to reproduce in
your issue of April 8, the somewhat
scurrilous, and altogether malicious
article relative to Christian Scince,
entitled Some strange Casualties, :"
and which is credited to "The Liv-
ing Church, - published in Milwau-
kee, Wis. | do not know of what
particular denomination THE Liv-
ing Church, is the mouthpiece or
official organ, but it must be one
quite distant in spirit as well as in
time from any church authorized by
Christ or established by his Apost-
les.
The Christian Science church in
the United States comprises among
its members and regular attendants
several hundred thousand men and
women, Il large percentage of whom
are prominent in the business, So
cial and intellectual, as well as the
religious life of the communities in
which they dwell; as slight inves-
tigation in almost any. large city in
the country will show. If it also
contains some who misunderstood
its teachings and fail to follow its
precepts, it does not in this respect
differ from any other Christian
sect. The struggle to eliminate from
its membership a portion of these
gave rise to the discord in the New
York Church, which has been great
ly distorted and magnifed by
sensational and sometimes hostile
press, which with fraction of the
same effort could in much less time
have found thousands of examples
OF beautiful lives, and of the rescue
of unhappy men and women from
the bonds of sin and disease by the
true adherents of Christian Science.

columns of the Christian Science
Monitor, and as newspaper man
