ArbOr Day in Wailuku.

Arbor Day, Friday, November
10th, was observed in the Wailuku
Public School with appropriate ex-
ercises in the various rooms.
No planting was done, as the
school grounds are well laid out
with some $50 palms, shade and
ornamental trees and shrubs.
Pretty borders in colored crayon,
picturing trees, were observed in
the primary rooms. Attractive
board decorations, suitable to the
day, were seen in the principals s
room. Here also were on exhibition
some very creditable specimens of
the pupils drawings of various trees,
leaves and landscape in pencil, cray
on and water colors. Clever little
invitations, in the form of booklets,
with covers designed by the pupils
were sent out.
Talks were given on the following
historic trees: Charter Oak, Hart
ford. Conn; Penn's Treaty Tree,
Philadelphia; Washington Elm,
Cambridge; Liberty Tree, Boston !;
Carey Tree, Ohio.

Court Valley Island.

The first dance held under the
auspices of Court Valley Island,
Order of Foresters, last Saturday
evening, was a huge success. The
order has only recently installed the
officers of the lodge here on Maui,
and the progress they have made in
a few months, has beed very hatter-
ing to those who were instrumental
in getting the local lodge started.
The Foresters is a purely fratenal
order, and no doubt a lodge here
such as they have organized will be
great benefit to the community.
The dance was held in the town
hall, and was well attended. The
music was the best heard on Maui,
and reflected credit on the musical
talent of Messrs. Machado and Kaia,
who have joined forces in an effort
to give Maui an up-to-date orchestra.
Refreshments were served during
the evening, and everyone present
enjoyed themselves to the limit.

Exciting
Baseball
The Games Last Sunday Both Well
Contested.

Judging by the big noise coming
from the row of automobiles and
from the grand stand last Sunday,
some people in Wailuku get excited.
The baseball being played on Maui
now will compare favorably with
that put up in Honolulu, and as
the season progresses, the different
teams will tighten up and runs will
become harder to get.
The first game Sunday between
Paia and Kahului, began with both
teams very confident of winning, as
both had strengthened. The
strengthening of Paia was illegal,
however, and they were obliged to
let their new man warm the bench.
The sluggers from Kahului got busy
soon after the game started, and
they hammered the ball all over the
lot. Towards the end of the game
Paia woke up and gave Kahului a
fight, but it was too late, and the
breakwater boys got away on the
long end Of the score.
The second game between the
Stars and the Wailukus was the big
noise. When these two teams face
one another, it seems as though the
spectators become charged as with
electricity. Many of them became
so excited last Sunday, that they
entirely forgot themselves. The
game was a good one, and it was
demonstrated early that the score
was going to be small, as the play
ers were up on their toes, and TAX
ing chances which required many
close decisions from the umpire.
The Stars made the same fatal mis-
take that the Kahuluis did iT the
previous game against Wailuku.
They waited too long, looking to
the wildness of Meyer to give them
a free pass to first, and while he
did pass quite a number, still he
continually had the batters in "a
hole, and succeeded in striking out
13 Stars. The game was won for
Wailuku in the third inning, when
by good clean consecutive hitting
they knocked out four runs. After
that Bal frightened up, and only
one more run was scored.
Next Sunday the scene will be
transferred to Kahului where the
Stars meet the Paias for the
last game in the series, and the
Wailukus meet the Kahuluis. The
Star-Pa-a game will be played
first, and these teams should make
an effort to start their game on
time, as last Sunday the last inning
of the last game was played in
darkness.

Story OF
Disaster
French Sailors Fight Heroically' But
In Vain.

Never before in time of peace
has a nations navy suffered such a
great loss of life and squadron
been so greatly damaged as has
France in the total destruction of
the frst-cl battle-ship Liberte,
carrying to their death over 200
French jackies. in the harbor of
Toulon, on the morning of Septem-
Der 25th. Now the great mass of
twisted metal, raising itself like a
gray spectre from the blue waters of
the harbor, is all that is left of the
great sea warrior, and there in the
twisted wreckage lie over 200 bodies
of the dead sailors of the great re-
public,
Fighting the flames that threaten
ed the powder magazines for the
better part of the night in the hope
of finally warding it off from the
high explosives, the valiant sailors
were compelled to give up the bat
tie. The bugle had just sounded
Every man for himself when the
gray ship was torn and twist
ed asunder, and the quiet of the
still morning air was broken by the
roar and rumble of series of explo-
sions that could be heard for thirty
miles. Fragments from the i'll fated
ship were hurled broadcast and a
captain Of training ship two miles
away was killed by a fragment of a
hurting shell. The shore for miles
around was strewn with wreckage
and nothing was left of the gray
battle-ship but a tangled mass of
twisted scrap iron covering the dead
bodies of over 200 of the jackies
that had stood by the ship to the
last.
The Liberte was one of the best
of the sea warriors of France. An
eighteen-knot vessel, costing f1,-
425, 900, the Liberte was launched
in April, 1905. Her armament con-
sisted of four 12-inch guns, ten 7.6-
inch guns, thirteen 9-pounders and
four torpedo tubes, two above
water and two submerged. She was
the sister ship to the Democratic,
the Justice and the Verite.
This appalling disaster was but
the first of a series of accidents in
the French navy that followed close
on the heels of each other. The
Republique and the Democratic
both of the same squadron as the
Liberte, were badly damaged short.
| ly afterward by internal explosions
three sailors being killed on the
former ship and two on the latter
1t was rumored for a time after
this appalling series of naval acci.
dents that it was the work of some
enemy Of the republic, but nothing
has since been made public to sub
stantiate the theory. Undoubtedly
the series of explosions was by fal
the worst in the amount of damage
done and the number of lives lost thai
has ever occurred in the time of peace
to any navy of the modern world.

NUMBER 80
The Death
Of Ely
The Man Who Made the Nest Daring
Flight Meets End.

From an aviation field in Macon,
Ga, where lay the crushed body of
an aviator who had fallen to his
death, came sad news that recalled
to thousands the memory of 1.-THE,
boyish looking figure clad in cordu-
roy and leggings, wearing an auto
mobile hat and goggles, of youth
acclaimed at Selfridge aviation field
last winter because he was the hero
of one of the greatest feats of mo-
dern times. Eugene B. Ely had
flown that day to the cruiser Penn
sylvania, landed on its deck and
demonstrated the possibilities of
biplane as an air courier for naval
vessels.
The world astounding fight of
Ely took place just nine months be-
fore the day of his death. AS he
arrived aboard the cruiser he was
greeted by q beautiful young girl,
his wife, whose praise meant more
to him than the money and medals
he received for risking his life.
This never would have happen
ed if Mabel had been with him.
declared Mrs. H. c. Hall, mother
of Ely's widow, at her home in
Corte MADEIRA last night.
She always inspected his ma
chine before every flight. He call
ed her his guardian angel, and she
wouldn't permit him to ascend
when there appeared to be danger. "
Ely's guardian angel was absent
recently for the first time since her
husband began flying. She receiv-
ed word of the tragedy while in
New York and telephoned home
this message:
Gene is dead. Am going to
Davenport, La, at once. Remains
there"
Davenport was the home of Ely
when boy. He left there sixteen
years ago, equipped to make his
living as mechanic. He worked
at odd jobs indifferently, he took
up automobiling with slight success;
then the era of aviation dawned and
Ely taught himself the flying art.
But Ely knew that the fate of all
who fly is death.
THE game will get me some
day." was his occasional prophecy
to the little wife who kept him un-
der her care. Then to reassure her
he would say:
Il never fly, except where l know
it to be safe. You know, dear
heart, from inside me must come
the necessary assurance that l am
fit. | can't translate it into words,
but when it's voice says Don't fly!'
then Eugene Ely does not fly"

outplayed the Giants at every angle
of the game. They out-hit them,
out -fielded them, out-guessed them,
out-pitched and out-stayed them.
The Mackmen made good on their
acknowledged hitting. The
Giants failed in their strong point
speed. That tells the story of how
the Athletics won four of the six
games played. An honest compari-'
son of the two teams yields the
palm to the Athletics in every de-
partment of the game. Perhaps two
positions, second-base and catcher,
were toss-up, but in the other de-
partments the Athletic players prov
ed in a class by themselves.
Standing head and shoulders
over the stars of past worlds series,
Frank Baker is today acknowledged
the greatest sensation of the diamond
in years. His hitting in the game
was simply marvellous. Twice he
was individually responsible in
winning games for the Mackmen
with home-run clouts and, during
the other four days, his heavy bing-
ling was ever prominent. Baker
scored seven runs and made nine
hits, including two home runs and
two doubles, and his record thus
speak for itself. Added to the fact that
Baker was playing in the face of be-
ing made a target for his opponents
spikes, his playing was the nerviest
ever witnessed in world s series.
Taking into consideration that a
loser always looks 100 per cent,
comparatively, inferior to a winner,
the Giants proved a dismal disap-
pointment to their supporters. Their
much-talked about offensive strength
so-termed "aggressiveness,' was a
lacking quality and their heralded
base-running prowess did not mate
rialize. Only four times in the six
games did they advance a base by
stealing and the Athletics evened up
this score with four pliers them
selves. And in hitting and pitching
the Giants also fell by the wayside
badly.
Rube Vanguard, the famed south
paw, crumbled something woefully
when called on in the pinch. He
participated in three games, and ex-
cept for a couple of innings in the
second game Marquard failed to
show anything like championship
form. The great Christy Matthew
son was also failure. after getting
off to flying start. He pitched
great ball in the first game, but in
the other two contests he could not
hold the Athletics. Twice he was
given substantial leads, and when a
twirler of Matthewson caliber can
not hold team after getting out in
front, his work does not count fol-
much. McGraw's second string
pitchers, with the possible exception
of Crandall, did not come through
with the expected victory.
The Mackmen, ,on the other hand
showed brilliantly in the pitching
department. Chief Bender pitched
three magnificent games, winning
two of them, and Plank and Coomb:
made good with sparkling victory
apiece. The feat of Bender in pitch
ing and winning two games within
three days easily makes him the
pitching star of the series.
On the basis of individual com
parison taken from a consensus o
opinions of experts at the games
Meyers and Doyle are the only tive
men to compare favorably with th'
Mackmen. Doyle played a consis
tent, heady game for the Giant
