Hon. H. P. Baldwin died at about
eight o'clock on Saturday evening at
his home, Maluhia, Makawao, Maui,
The end came peacefully. A rally on
the previous day had given some hope
of his regaining strength, but these
hopes were very slight, and the wait
ing relatives were prepared for the
end.
An Active Career.
The deceased was a native of La
haina, Maui, and a son of one of the
early missionaries, Rev. Dwight Bald
win, D. D. He was born on August
20, 1881, and educated in Oahu Col
lege. Though he died a very wealthy
man, he started without means. He
began at the bottom in the sugar in
dustry and worked his own way to
managerships and finally heavy owner.
ships in the great properties con-
trolled by Alexander & Baldwin.
A Model Employer.
The Baldwin plantations are known
for their good treatment of employees.
AT the great headquarters at Puunena
are some Of The best plantation homes
in Hawaii, and near them there were
recently constructed spleldid swim,
ming pool ana tie firost bowling alley
in the Territory. Tennis courts
and other facilities for sports and
amusements add to the attractiveness
of the village.
Powerful Political Influence.
The deceased planter was a very
powerful political influence on the
island of Maui. In all matters the
leaders of the Republican party, OF
which he was member consulted
him. He was also a powerful moral
force. Throughout his life he pre-
served the influences of his early mis-
sionary teaching, and his personality
was a strong power for temperance
and clean government.
Public Services.
Mr., Baldwin took time to partici
pate in public affairs, as a citizen anC
as an official He was a member O
the House of Mobiles in 1SS7-S anC
again in $780, In 1900 he was elected
senator, being again chosen in 1908
He was frequently sent as a delicate
from Maui to the Territorial Repub
lican conventions.
In 1902, when reports of Governo
Doles intended retirement were il
circulation, there was a strong senti
ment favoring Mr.. Baldwin as his sue
cessor, but to this he would not listen
stating that his business interests
were too extensive to spare his tim,
entirely for the public service. Presi
dent Roosevelt was in communication
with the senator frequently during hi
administration concerning politica
matters in the islands.
Lost His Arm.
Mr.. Baldwin lost his right arm
through an accident in 1876, Will

a very foul condition, caused by over
flowing cesspools.
Owing to the nature Of the soil there
is very little seepage from the cess,
pools and this has brought about the
conditions mentioned The depart,
ment of public works recognizes the
necessity of immediate action being
taken in the matter, so will take steps
to remedy things.

When the doors of the Opera House
opened, half an hour before the Brit
ish-American peace mass meeting last
night, there were nearly enough peo-
pie on hand to fill the house. By the
time the speaking began the house
was crowded, upstairs and down, and
there were people standing in the
doorways, while some had gone away,
unable to find places.
Meeting FulfiIs Purpose.
The purpose of the meeting was
successfully carried out. Called by a
committee of American and British
residents, at the suggestion of H. A.
Taylor, it was intended as an express
sion of fraternity between the repre-
sentatives of the two nations here and
of their earnest wish that their gov
ernments enter into a formal pact
never to turn their guns on each other.
The speakers were applauded when
they referred to the hope of this per-
manent peace and friendship, and
when w. o. Smith, chairman, called
for a rising vote on resolutions in
support of the pending general arbitra.
ton treaty, every person in the audi,
ence stood.
The meeting was partly religious
gathering, most of the local churches
having given up their regular evening
services in order that the congrega
lions might attend. After hearing
music by the Hawaiian orchestra, the
audience sang the DoXology, aftel
which Bishop Restarick offered {
prayer, which was full of references tt
the great subject of the evening. DR.
Scudder led in responsive Scripture
readings, which were also germane tt
the peace discussion, and then Chair
man w. o. Smith stated the objects
of the gathering. He told of the com
mittee meetings at which arrange
ments were made, and read the pream
BILE of the proposed arbitration treaty
Continuing, he said:
