Dali Overheard.

Mauian hospitality once more was
to the fore early last week, when
the Honolulu -yachtsmen were en-
tertained by their friends Of Kahu
lui, Wailuku and Puunene.
The two yachts that took part in
the race arrived in port very close
to each other. The Mollilou. which
won the Honolulu Kahului race,
was only little over one hour ahead
of the Kamehameha.
As soon as ever anchors were
dropped, the yachtsmen were taken
in charge by the Maui folk. Every
one Of the visitors seemed to have q
friend at Kahului. and the conse-
quence was that, within q very short
time, all the yachtsmen were com.
fortably housed somewhere or an
other.
Many Of the sailors made their
way up to Puunene and they had a
fine swim in the big bathing pool.
Wailuku was honored by q big
bunch Of visitors and they all SEEM

One Of the most distressing shOots
ing affairs that has ever been re.
corded in these islands, was that Of
Saturday last, when two young
Chinese lads were killed, and a
third youth was badly wounded.
The terrible affair took place about
four miles above the Kula home
steads and about at the six thousand
feet elevation. Ten Pau Chong and
Ming Chong Loo are dead, Kim Yam
Lau is in the hospital and Mu Ching

HUNTING PEAcOck6.
From what can be cleaned about
the shooting. it seems that on Sa-
turday. August 81. a party Of five
lads started out on a peacock hunt
ing expedition. The boys had a
rife and q shot gun with them and
tho party climbed up the mountain
in search Of peaoocks. Each buy
had q peacock feather in his hat.
Thsss feathers were souvenirs Of
previous hunting trips and were
worn a. trophies.
According to the story Of little
Kim Me Lau. there was nothing
doing in the way Of shooting pea
cocks during the morning. He
states that at about noon he was
standing behind Mu Ching Wong.
when the latter suddenly raised his
shot gun and, pointing at some
bushes. fred q shot.

the boy who fired the shot then
walked over to see how many pea
cocks were killed. To their horror
they found three boys weltering in
their gore. The first lad was stone
dead. the second was just breathing
and the third was moaning horribly.
The one charge of shot, scattering
as it left the muzzle of the gun, had
stricken all three lads in the heads.
The boys had been approaching in
single file, and the load of duck
shot had landed on all three.
The third boy in the line was
Kim Yam Lau, and he. after time,
was helped to his feet and assisted
to his home, by his brother and the
lad who is alleged to have done the
shooting. When the party of three
left the scene of the tragedy, one
boy lay dead and the other was
still breathing. That was at about
two o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
NOTHING SAID.
The wounded boy was taken home
and from there to the hospital. Not
a word regarding the shooting in
the hills was said. The wounded
lad declared that he had been hurt
near his own home. The other two
lads backed him up in this state
ment, and nothing was known Of
the two dead boys on the mountain
slope.
After three days in the hospital,
the wounded boy was induced to
tell a true story of what had hap
pened when he got hurt. The ques-
tioning of the lad had been kept up
as it was felt that there was some
thing wrong somewhere. The alb

Paia Minister
Brilliant Man
Reverend A. Craig BOwdish Has
Fine Record In Chosen Work
Of Life.

minister for the Paia Union Church
arrived from the Coast on the last
Lurline. Mrs. Bowdish accompan-
led him, and this week they move
into the Parsonage at Sunnyside.
Mr.. Bowdish was born in the
West. His father was minister
before him. He is a graduate of
Yankton College, where in 1897 he
won the degree of Master of Arts.
His next course of study was at
Chicago where in 1901 he graduated
from the Theological Seminary,
having won the degree of Bachelor
of Divinity. From that date until
1910 he was a pastor of the flourish
ing Congregation Church at Nit
chell, South Dakota. This Church
had very large influence in this
growing Western city, which was
also the seat OF large Methodist
University. Here Mr.. Bowdish
threw his whole heart into the life
Of the community, and accomplished
much in making the city the power
it is today in the State. At one
time Mitchell was in good position
to win the capitol of the State,
which was all but secured.
From Mitchell, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bowdish went to Hartford, where
he further carried on his studies
under some OF the ablestmen in the
ology that are to be found in Amer
lea. His thesis, which gave him
the degree of Master of Sacred The
ology, was upon "Glimpses of Per-
sonality as seen in some of Jesus's
Typical Interviews" 1t was work
in comparatively new field, and
has been highly praised for its
thoroughness and breadth of view.
His work in Hartford pronounced
him scholar, a thinker, and a man
OF splendid ability as preacher and
leader. He was highly regarded by
all his associates in the student
body.
In addition to his work in the
Seminary he took large amount of
work in the School of Religious
PedagogyE-a school that Is rapidly
coming to the front in the States in
a unique line of work in preparing
students in psychological method OF
approaching the young people in
schools and colleges, as well in the
Churches and Sunday Schools. The
School has some very able men on
the faculty.
While Mr.. Bowdish was carrying
on his studies as outlined above,
Mrs. Bowdish was teaching at the
Hartford High School, where she
made deep impression upon the
pupils in that institution which as a
secondary school is the pride of the
city. She is charming lady, is
highly cultured and a woman OF
marked ability.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowdish left Hart
ford some little time ago, and have
spent several weeks visiting old
friends and their relatives. In Ho-
nolulu they were entertained by Mr..
and Mrs. Charles f. Atherton.
Mrs. Bowdish and Mrs. Atherton's
sister were close friends. The new
comers were greatly pleased with
Honolulu, and are delighted with
Maui. They pronounced the Ka-
hului Harbor as one of the finest in
its wonderful approach they had
ever seen. On Saturday they visited
Sunnysideand the Makawao Church.
Both impressed them most favor
ably. They noted the handsome
memorial windows, and that the
Church had just been thoroughly
renovated in the interior.

Boat Landing
Over at Kihei
harbOr Commissioners Hold Conference
With Chamber Of Commerce.
Big Attendance.


carried, at the meeting of the Maui
Chamber of Commerce last Thurs
day afternoon, that the HarbOr
Commissioners be requested to pro-
ceed with the building of boat
landing at Kihei, the purchase of
the Clauline wharf at Kahului, and
the erection, ;ls SOON as possible, OF
ships wharf at Kihei.
The above result took couple of
hours to attain, and it was only
after Chairman Marston Campbell
had plainly stated what the opinion
Of the Commissioners was, that the
decision was come to. Campbell
had, few minutes before the reso-
luton introduced by D. H. Case
was voted on, made the following
statement, speaking as the chairman
of the harbor commissioners and
voicing the sentiments of that body:
We commissioners have dis
cussed this matter and, while ready
to hear the opinions of the members
of the Chamber of Commerce, we,
at this time, announce what our
plans are. The first thing we advo-
cate is the purchase of the Kahului
wharf. Secondly, we say that q
boat landing should be ut once con-
structed at Kihei with the 50, 900
now available. Then enough money
should be sought through the pro-
per authorities, to build big wharf
at Kahului. Finally. all wharves
to be absolutely under control of the
Territory"
There was large gathering Of
prominent Maui men at the meet
ing, and F. F. Baldwin presided.
There was some delay in getting
things started, and it became ap-
parent that the HarbOr Commission
ers would have to hurry in order to
catch their steamer. However.
everyone got q chance to speak, and
much light was thrown on the whole
proposition.
1t was apparent from the very
start that the majority Of the men,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce,
wanted ships wharf at Kihei.
The arguments brought forward
were well sustained, and the plea
that tNe tourist trade should be
catered for, was played to good
effect. The wonderful resources OF
the Kula district were also men,
toned, and the prediction was made
that much freight would be shipped
from that district should ships
wharf be built at Kihei.
Commissioner Wakefield placed
himself on record as being opposed
to any ships wharf at Kihei. He
did SO in order that the members OF
the Maui Chamber of Commerce
would know how he, personally,
felt on the proposition.
The key note of the meeting was
the fact that sum of SO, 900 il
available for some kind of a wharf
at Kihei. This sum would only be
a drop in the bucket as far as a biz
wharf is concerned. At least ons
hundred thousand dollars will bs
needed to erect proper wharf. II
was pointed out, by the commits
sioners that, while the SO, 900 woult
not be of much use in connection
with big wharf, the money woulG
build a first class boat landing, a
which passengers could be landed
in safety.
1t was proposed that the sum o
s32, ZOO which was appropriated b,
the legislature for the purchase O
the Kahului wharf, should be pu
aside and devoted, with another fu
ture appropriation, to the erection
OF ships wharf at Kihei. AS tn

Praise ye the Lord: for 1t is good
to sing praises unto our God; for it
Is pleasant; and praise is comely. The
Lord doth build up Jerusalem; he
gathereth together the outcasts Of
Israel. He healeth the broken in

Great Is our Lord, and Of great power:
His understanding is infinite. The
Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth
the wicked down to the ground. Sing
unto the Lord with Thanksgiving;
sing praise upon the harp unto oui
God: who coyereth the heavens with
clouds, who prepareth rain for the
earth, who maketh grass to grow up
on the mountains. He giveth the
beast his food, and the young ravens
which cry. Praise the Lord, o Jeru

"GooD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE"
FIGHT ON THOMPSON.

Letters presuming to have come
from the headquarters of an organi-
1atiOn known as the Good Govern
ment League were mailed Saturday
evening to members of the Kansas
legislature, 1t was the burden of
these letters, it is claimed, to advise
the 1918 legislator as to the reasons
why Judge Thompson should not go
to thee United States senate. No sub
stitGte was suggested in the letters.
At political headquarters in Topeka
the organization known as the Good
Government club is unknown. SO
politicians of all parties and sundry
factions have viewed the alleged l5t-
ters with but little serious thought.
At this time there is no open or
aVowed candidate for the senatorship
against Thompson. He won fairly
and honestly in the November elec-
tion and it is generally believed that
the legislature will confirm his cleo
ton without debate.
A number of Kansas politicians
were in Topeka the other night to at
tend the session of the state can
vassing board. They only smiled
when they heard of the new organi-
SatioA and were not inclined to view
the letters with any degree Of ser
iousness.
IT'S just my private opinion, said
one we'll known politician at the Ma
tiOnal hotel, that the people who
sent the letters never voted for eth
er Thompson or Curtis. 1t reads
very much like certain literature that
appeared Just at the close Of the cam
paign."
The letters, which were mailed
from Topeka, do not bear the name
Of any person. Neither is exact loca-
ton or purpose of the socalled
league" made clear. For these rea-
sons the alleged plan to throw Judge
Thompson in the senatorial fight
have not been regarded as damaging
to ThOmpsOn's interests.

In the case of Fred Steckel against
Rube vancil in which Steckel claimed

claimed that the land had never Leen

testified to the fact that originally it
was an island in the river with a
channel of water between it and the
south bank.
The case was a logg one en- &C
count q the number of witnesses ard
attracted a large audience It is
very likely it is said, that the case
will be appealed and carried to high

Through some error the impression
has gained ground that Eb Wilfong
also has a suit on this time in re-
Spect to land which he homesteaded
but no such suit has been filed.
The jury was discharged Monday
night as settlement has been made
in some cases and others have been
continued so that there is no further
need of them.
