TenniSMatCh

Down at Puunene the three-cor-
nered tennis tournament between
the Mill, Field and office, is going
strong. During the week several
matches were played, and the re-
suits were as follows: Searby and
Savage beat Belts and Beall, 60,
60. There was much joy over
the victory of the Mill team.
The next match was between
]. Maclaren and r. Walker, and
A. Maclaren and George Murray
The last named pair won by a
score of Ga, GA. The Field re-
corded their first victory through
this match. On Thursday two other
matches were played and the re-
suits were; DR.. Sawyer and J. B.
Thompson beat c. {. Campbell and
D. Rattray, 6-1, 6-2. A. Maclaren
and Murray beat Hughes and
Smith, OIL, OIL.
Much interest is being taken in
the tournament, as there is great
rivalry between the three sets of
teams from each division of the
big plantation system.

Extension Is
Doing Well

On April l the extension of the
Kahului Railroad will be handed
over to the operating staff. All the
necessary work will then be finish
ed, and the men who have been at
work, constructing the extension,
will seek pastures new. The various
camps along the line are being de-
molished, and the lumber used in
them is being removed
The new line which ends, for
the present, at Haiku and Pauwela,
is being patronized right from the
jump" The freight offering is
very satisfactory and the passenger
traffic is increasing daily.
Since the inception of the Sun
day train service, the passeng er
traffic is going ahead in leaps and
bounds. The records show that up
till March Is there were the same
number of passengers carried as
during the whole of February.

Old Identity
Passes Away

On Wednesday last an old,
valued employee of the Wailuku
Sugar Company died. August An
tonic Gouveia passed away after a
long and varied experience as a
plantation overseer.

ra on March 5, 1854, and he came
as a young man to Hawaii. His
first job on Maui was with the
Wailuku Sugar Company and,
after five years of field work he
was promoted to be a water luna.
He remained in that position for
p years, and always was looked
upon as a faithful worker.
Two years ago Mr.. Gouveia was
taken i'll and he never recovered
properly from the attack. He
leaves many friends who mourn
his loss. The funeral took place
on Thursday last.

Things Moving
Around Hama

Hama people are happy once more.
They have fresh water to drink, and
have not to carry brackish water
from the beach to their homes. The
rain that fell in the mountains last
week filled the bitches and the little
town is again feeling good.
The weather along the Hama coast
has been very rough lately and the
Claudine had all she could do to
enter the port of Hama. The steamer
could not look at Keanae, Nahiku
or Kipahulu. The sea was break
ing over the landing places, and the
captain saw there was no chance
of getting anything ashore.
Hama now has a moving picture
show and twice a week the latest
up-to-date films are shown. The
show attracts good crowds and the
people feel as if they were in a
large city.

kahului Port
Is Reduced
Deputy Collector Of Customs Has
Salary Slashed-POrt Now
Ranks in Class ''A".

News was received here on Mon
day last that the position of de-
putty collector of customs at Kahu-
lui was as good as abolished. The
news came to deputy e. R. Bevins,
through the official channel. In
saying that the position is abolished
it is not quite meant that there is
to be no collector at Kahului. The
full facts of the case are that late
Secretary McVeigh, of ex-President
Taft's cabinet, has notified the col
lector at Honolulu that in future
Kahului will rank as Glass "A"-
in the excepted division, and that
the salary will be $500 per annum.
Heretofore, the position, as graded
in Glass "2", has carried salary
of 81 800 per annum. The cut is
SO drastic that Deputy Collector
Bevins may resign at once,
The reduction in grade of Kahu-
lui port is thought to be the work of
special Agent Tidwell, who spent
some time in the islands, last year.
He did not seem able to grasp the
situation properly, and his remarks
about the different ports of entry
caused lot of talk when he was
in the group.
Just to show how Kahului ranks
regarding entries" and clear
ances", the following figures will
show.
During the period extending from
January 1 to March II, this year,
nineteen steamers from the main
land were attended to by the deputy
collector. The aggregate tonnage
of these vessels amounted to 70,
253 tons. Besides these steamers
there were the following entrances
and clearances; One steamer of 2,
GA tons from Chinese ports and
one sailing vessel of 2, 176 tons from
Chilean ports. The total tonnage
for the period amounted to "a, 103
tons.

SUPERVISORS REPLY SENT
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Statements Made by Special Committee Are Denied
Facts Not as STATED" Board Hard at Work
Looking Into AffairS--Much Free Water

That the Kula Pipeline matter
has stirred up a hornets nest, is
seen when the reply of the board
of supervisors to the Maui Cham
Der of Commerce is read. The
board went over the whole matter
and it decided that the statements
OF the special committee, as read at
the last meeting of the Maui Cham
Der of Commerce, were misleading,
to say the least of them. The fol-
lowing communication was sub
mitted to the Trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday
afternoon.
D. H. Case, Esq,
Secretary, Maui Chamber of Com
metce, Wailuku, Maui.
Dear Sir:
Your communication of the 18th
inst. enclosing reports of commit
tee of the Chamber OH the Kula
Pipeline has been received.
Before answering some of the
statements in said report, we will
endeavor to give you fair idea of
the conditions surrounding the Kula
Pipeline.

Will Reduce
Auto Speed

If the new automobile ordinance
becomes law, there will be some
radical changes in the rules regard
ina cars. The speed limit has been
reduced from 40 miles to rs miles
in the country districts-and the
speed in towns, villages and camps,
remains the same as before, viz, Is
miles per hour.
The supervisors passed the ordi-
nance at the first reading, and it
will now be published. Then fur
ther discussion will be in order,
and the public will have a chance
to consider the proposed law.
With regards to numbers on
cars, the new law says that besides
the rear number, numbers must be
placed on the side lamps of the car.
This is to fall in line with the
Honolulu law. The ordinance also
says that drunken men will not be
allowed to run cars-either in the
rent service or as private indivi-
duals.

We all know the history of its
inception, and the plans followed
by Supt. Campbell of the Public
Works, were supposed to have the
approval of the best experts on the
matter.
Galvanized iron piping was used
for the main line from Olinda to
kanaio, but at the forest end from
Olinda to Puohokamoa, about four
miles of wooden stave piping was
laid, which was supposed to be
water-tight, but is still almost as
leaky as when it was first laid
down, causing much loss and waste
of precious water. Later a flume
was laid to Waiakamoi, where a re-
servoir was built which was COM
pleted and turned over by the con-
trsctor, Mr.. Hugh Howell, Decem-
Der 8 of last year. Until that ex-
tension to Waiakamoi was COM
pleted, the Puohokamoa supply
was often interrupted from various
causes, creating some dissatisfac-
ton among water users on the
system.

Concrete For
Kihei Piles

Engineer Howell is almost ready
to start active operations OH the
Kihei wharf, and he expects to be-
gin the casting of the concrete
piles within a few days from now.
The casting of the piles will be
an interesting operation, and the
work will be watched by many peo-
pie who are interested III the mat
ter.
Forty-four piles, in all, have to
be cast, and they will be thirty feet
long. Right through the concrete
will be imbedded eight thirty feet
long "a inch iron rods. These rods
will be made into kind of cage,
and will be joined all the way by
spiral iron, which will wind around
from rod to rod and from top to
bottom.
The casting of the long concrete
piles will be done in moulds, and
as soon as the piles are hard they
will be lifted out and placed in
position. The hammer used will
drive the piles, and the task will be
made easier by the introduction of
a pumping apparatus that will re-
move the sand and blasted coral
from the base of the pile and thus
allow the big stick" to sink and
settle.
All the gravel and cement is on
the spot now, and Howell is only
waiting for some more machinery
to arrive. He is busy on concrete
bridges along the road between the
foot of the mountain and Lahaina.
In all, six bridges are to be built
of concrete. Five are finished and
the last one will soon be done.

Games
Nearly Pau

Bowling is all the rage at Puunene
and the Married VS.. Single tourna-
ment is now going strong at the
popular alley, A close contest has
resulted, so far, and both teams
have two victories each. The final
match will be bowled next Wednes-
day evening, and big crowd is ex-
pected to be present.
Last Wednesday evening the
Single men beat the Married by a
majority of over 200. That defeat
is to be wiped out next week, say
the Benedicts.
The teams that have been playing
are as follow: Married-C. G..
Campbell, E. Deinert, G. Savage,
G. A. Beall, j. B. Thompson, and
Hansen. Single-A Maclaren, A.
j. Cremer, w. Scholtz, w. Thomas,
III. E. Savage and c. Z. Lewis. 1t
will be noticed that there are some
spliced ones playing on the "SingleI
team, and vice versa. That is made
possible by the elastic law of the
club that allows grass widowers"
to be classed as bachelors for the
time being. Some of the wives are
in Honolulu or on the Coast and
their husbands can play bowls as
single men while they are away.

Small Fire
On Steamer

On Thursday morning there was
fire on board the S. S. Mikahala
while she lay at Kaanapali. The
blaze was discovered in the forward
hold, among a big lot of cargo.
The steam pipe and water hose
have turned on quickly, and the
crew soon put the fire out.
The Mikahala returned to Homo
lulu yesterday. Some Japanese
freight was destroyed by fire and
water.

On Wednesday last the Grand
Jury met at the Wailuku Court
house and when, OH Thursday after
noon, they had concluded their
labors, fourteen indictments had
been returned by them. The Maui
scandal came up for investigation
and, contrary to most expectations,
only one man--Ah Long, Chin
ese-was indicted by the Grand
Jury. Mary Ann Peters, the al
legged keeper of the brothel was
indicted for procuring.
The Grand Jury probed the
whole scandal and, when the work
was finished there were several
very much discredited witnesses.
The evidence of the girls was very
different to what they had given in
the police court, and the Jurors
could not believe their stories.
Despite the sensational stories
that have been going the' rounds
regarding the scandal, it seems
that none of them were borne out
when the tale was unfolded to the
Jurors.

Especial Correspondence }

HONOLULU, March 21-Just
about the time the new board OF
supervisors went into harness the
old board gave an order to repair
King street, between Fort and
Bethel. In fact, the work was
nearly completed when Supervisor
Petrie gave orders to stop. I do
not know how much money had
been spent on the job, but enough.
Today the same piece of street is
being torn up preparatory to what
is to be known as permanent i'm
provements-at another tremendous
expense. | mention this merely to
show that the men in office in the
county of Honolulu care as little for
expense, so long as it does not fall
upon them personally, as a duck
cares for rain. On the other side
of the island most of the roads are
in poor condition and it will be a
couple of years before they be any
better.
