Convention
OF Teachers

On Wednesday, November 26,
the annual convention of the Maui
teachers will be held at the Wal
luku schoolhouse. All the teachers
of the island will be i'll attendance,
and many papers of interest to the
te0ching fraternity will he read.
There are many new teachers on
Maui now and they will, for the
first time, have an opportunity of
becoming acquainted with all their
fellow instructors of the county.
1t is expected that many sugges-
tions will be made as to the best
way to handle the problems that
are inseparable from the daily oc-
equations of the teachers.
Last year many interesting papers
were read by teachers, and it is
thought that the new blood" that
has been introduced during the
past twelve months will also have
something good and interesting to
offer. George S. Raymond, In
spector of Schools, will attend the
convention.

M. A. A. Holds
M e citing

The"n was a meeting of the Maui
Athletic Association last night, and
at it some important matters were
considered. The invitation of the
Mid-Pacific Carnival Committee
having been occepted at previous
meeting, the only thing to take up
was the selection of a manager to
handle the Maui baseball team
while it is in Honolulu.
Several new members were elect
ed and they come from the outside
districts. This is a good sign, and
is thought to show which way the
wind blows. That new blood is
needed, is the opinion of most of
the older members.
Maui will be well represented at
the carnival and the baseball play.
ers will be on their mettle. Up to
the time we went to press last night
a manager had not been elected.
The indications were that Harold
Rice, of Paia, was the popular choice
and most people think no better
man could possibly be appointed.

Red Angels
Selling Well

Red Cross stamps are on sale in
Wailuku and everyone who takes
the slightest interest in the crusade
against that dsead scorge, tuber-
culosis, should avail themselves of
the chance of helping out the fund,
by buying some of the stamps. A
good number have already been sold
by the ladies who have the work in
hand, and there is every prospect
Of thousands more being disposed Of.
The campaign against consump-
tion is going ahead strongly in these
islands and the good results are be-
coming known. The sale of Red
Cross stamps is a good scheme to
raise money in a manner that does
make the matter a burden on in
individuals who, if approached in
another way, might not feel able
to contribute.
In Honolulu the campaign is
going strong and much money is
being raised. Stamps are now on
sale at The First National Bank of
Wailuku.

Jurors Again
Sum lnloned

On Wednesday next the Grand
Jury will once more meet, and the
horrible case of depravity that was
discovered at Puunene will be in
vestigated. The affair is a fearful
one, and one that has caused much
talk around the district.
Should the grand jurors indict
the two Portuguese who are mixed
up in the case, then the trial jurors
will be summoned for Thursday
morning, when the case will be
tried before Judge Kingsbury.
All the rest of the court work for
the October term is complete, but
it was decided to recall the juries to
take up the Puunene case, as it was
felt that it would be better to dis
pose of the matter at once.

WIS. Searby
Home Again

William ;. Searby, superintend-
ent of thePuunene Mill, andwho has
been away on a trip to England and
the United States, returned on the
Sierra to Honolulu, and then caught
the Claudine to Lahaina last Mon
day. He was met at the ancient
capital by an automobile and ar
rived home at Puunene late ON
Monday evening. Mr.. Searby had
been away from the islands for
about four months.
While abroad the superintendent
visited his folk in Englond and
spent some time with them. He
then returned to the United States
where he looked into several mat
ters relating to the sugar business.
Mr.. Searby looks and feels well
and took charge of the big mill as
soon as he reached Puunene. While
on the mainland the Maui man met
several people from Hawaii and
they were all enjoying themselves.

M aui Float
For Carnival

There is a movement on foot to
have Maui properly represented at
the Mid-Pacifc Carnival in Feb
ruary next. The scheme is to have
a float, typical of this island, and
to have it be truly representative
feature which will be paid for and
gotten together by the people of
the Valley Island.
The scheme suggested is that
donations be solicited to cover the
expense, and that a committee be
appointed to carry out the whole
affair. 1t has been said that the
ladies of Maui can help out lot by
getting together for the honor of
their isle, and that they can assure
the success of the movement if they
only become interested in the mat
ter. 1t has been suggested that
a model of the crater of Haleakala,
with plenty of silversword planted
within, would be a good idea.
Other people favor a representation,
i'll miniature, of lao Valley and The
Needle.
1t is hoped that Maui will lead
the way in the matter of being the
first island, outside of Oahu, to
put in float that will not only be
a credit to this island, but also a
striking advertisement of what good
old Maui can do. The originator
of the scheme feels that the pro-
position is an easy oLe-if the
ladies will only get busy and stir
up their husbands.

Puunene Mill
Under Way
Big Plantation Cane Is Being Turn
ed Into Sugar-Large
Crop Expected.

On Tuesday afternoon at two
O'Clock the big Puunene mill of the
II. c. q S. Co. started grinding for
the 1914 season. Everything went
off in fine style, and the machinery
did its work well. There was no
trouble at all, and the effects of the
thorough overhauling that the mill
got during the slack" season were
very apparent.
Cane was cut on Monday and a
big supply was therefore available
in advance. The yards were filled up
before the start, and then everything
went as smoothly as if there had not
been several months of a shut down.
For the coming season an esti-
mate of over $4,000 tons of sugar
is a conservative one. Last year
the big mill turned out over 10000
two Of the sweet stuff.
The only change in the personnel
of the mill staff is in the chemists
department, where Mr.. Marsh, a
new arrival in the islands, is hold
ing the position of night chemist.
Mr.. Henderson, who was formerly
the night chemist, has gone to some
other mill. Superintendent w. S.
Searby, who has been away for a
trip, returned in time to be present
when the mill started up for the
1914 season.

Big Bazaar
On Tonight

This evening at the Wailuku
Gymnasium the annual bazaar of
the Womans' Guild of The Church
of the Good Shepherd will be held.
The affair promises to be brilliant
one, and the wet weather is not
expected to make much difference
to the attendance. The gymnasium
is fine place in which to hold the
bazaar, and the many beautiful arti-
cles will be displayed to the best
possible advantage.
The ladies have been working
hard to make the fair a great sue
cess, and there is no doubt that
there will be a ready response to
the call of the bazaar promoters.
The new incumbent of the church,
the Rev. Charles Villiers and his
wife are expected to be present,
and they will have an opportunity
or meeting most of the people of
Maui.
Owing to a feeling that no affair
is complete on Maui without
dance being OH the program, there
will be a hop after the sale is
The best of music
will be provided, and the floor will
be in the best condition. That
everybody will enjoy themselves,
goes without saying. 1t is to be
hoped that large sum of money
be obtained for the good purpose.

w Welcome To
Rev.Wm.Sh0rt

The Benicia Herald of October
10, has the following to say
about a welcome given the Rev.
w. S. Short, formerly of Wal
lulu. The we'll beloved former
pastor of the Church of the
Good Shepherd, is evidently feeling
at home in his new field of en-
deavor:
A large crowd attended the re-
ception given in the U. P. +. c.
hall last evening to welcome
the new rector of St. Paul's church,
Rev. William Short, and family.
A vocal solo by Miss Sophie
Singler, a violin solo by Ralph
Howell accompanied on the piano
by Miss Boekenoogen, and recita-
ton by Miss Florence Kelly were
greatly enjoyed by all present.
Rev. Mr.. Short pleasingly ex-
pressed his appreciation of the well
come accorded him and his pleas
ure at being in Benicia, and pre-
dicted for the town a bright future.
Rev. B. St. John also made a few
interesting remarks.
Refreshments were served and
dancing was enjoyed.
George A. Johnson presided over
the evenings program.

Gives Cup

Bowling is all the rage at the
Wailuku gymnasium, and every
Wednesday evening large crowd of
members attend in order to have
friendly game or two. The Wailuku
plantation fellows are very keen on
the sport, and their popular man
ager is always deeply interested in
the bowling.
James d. Dougherty, who is so
well known on Maui, and who has
a habit of donating trophies for any
good purpose, has given a silver cup
for II championship tournament.
The cup is beauty and the clever
bowler who wins it will have some-
thing to be proud of.
The cup will be bowIed for in a
special tournament that is to start up
on January |. That there will be a
big entry list, there is no doubt.
All the old-time bowlers and the
new corners at the game will be sure
to enter, and TIE consequence will
be that a record entry list will
be posted at the gymnasium.

Nat. Banks
NewAFittings

Within a short time from now
the new fittings for the First Ma
tional Bank of Wailuku will arrive
from the mainland. The fixtures
have been shipped, and they will
be installed as soon as they reach
Wailuku. The we'll known bank
will then take on a metropolitan
air, and the work of the tellers and
other officials, who have to con-
stantly meet the constituents of the
bank, will be more easily and conf
fortably accomplished.
There will be four tellers wickets,
and the counter will be of plate
glass with Tennessee marble dealing
plates. Beneath the counter will
be a cupboard, provided with
drawers. The counter is 32 feet
long and two tellers cages are en-
bodied in the plans. The grille is
of selected quartered oak, with
metallic bars, and with frosted glass
let into the panels.
There is 43 feet of bank railing,
and 7 feet of low railing and the
whole effect is a very handsome
one. The fixtures have been pho
tographed at the factory and ad-
vance copies IF the pictures show
that the bank will be wonderfully
by the installation of the
new fittings.

Accumulated During Years-A Go-Cat Said to Have
Been Taken By One Investigator Of McDuffie.

baby up at my house and it will do
for him. "
Mac acquiesced and there the 60
cart is now, unless a case of quick
ened conscience pushed it out the
door when the investigation started.
There has been good deal of
comment on the fact that 80 much
good and bad plunder has been al
lowed to stay around waiting a
claimant. l learn there has not
been a sale of goods at the station
house since Arthur Brown retired
from office as sheriff, and that it
has been accommodating all these
years. There is nothing in the law
that says how such things are to be
disposed Of, anyhow it is up to the
sheriff, and if the people under him
have taken advantage of his laxity
he is to certain extent to blame
for the loss of the goods or their
value which might have gone to the
government had there been a sale.
AN OLD STORY.
Looking back through the maze
which enfolds the recent events |
think | can find a legitimate excuse
for any animosity the Advertiser
may have for the captain of detect
ives. The story dates back year
or so and it is question whether
McDuffie has suffered in conse-
quenCe or not. Sometime last year
Mrs. Henry Lyman of Puma lost
valuable ruby ring in Hilo, between
the Hilo Hotel and the Volcano
Stables. An arrest or two was
made, the manager of the hotel
offered a hundred dollars reward
and men employed about the house,
as well as some in the stables, were
under a cloud for months. Mr..
and Mrs. Lyman went to the coast
the former returning several months
later without his wife. During all

HONOLULU, Nov. 14.-The Nc
Duflie investigation fell SO far, and
so hard, it must have hurt itself
when it flattened out. Those of
the public who have given any con-
sideration to the charges are at n

and most of them have given up
thinking. It's an i'll wind, etc. =,

But there will be freedom from
gambling in Honolulu by regulars
in the future, 50 long as Jarrett and
McDuf1ie are on the force; they
will do the cat and mouse act"
from this time forward and neither
will trust the other. The men who
headed the investigation committee
and dug up the information on
which the charges were based, feel
as though they do not wish to say
anything more about it.

WILL NOT DESERT
HIS HOME STATE

Wilson Will Remember New
Jersey-May Go Back to
Fight.
Trenton, N. j., Feb. 26.-
Governor Woodrow Wilson
warned members of the New
Jersey legislature last night
that as President of the United
States he would feel privileged
to come back even as early as
next week to fight before the
people of the state for pending
reforms.
Governor Wilson resigned the
governorship yesterday to take
effect Saturday. Both houses
had hardly received the resigna-
ton when the assembly went on
record against passing the jury
reform bill to second reading.
This bill had been urged par
ticularly by Governor Wilson.
1t would take away the power to
draw juries from sheriffs, lodg-
ing it with the commission ap-
pointed by the governor.
Governor Wilson regards yes-
terday's developments as breach
of party discipline. He be-
lieves, however, that the prin-
ciple of justice in this country
is at stake and he considers the
ISSUE so vital that he declared
that soon after his Inauguration
he might deliver several
speeches on this subject before
the people of northern New
Jersey, most of whose assem-
blymen voted in effect against
the governor yesterday.
Yes, it looks as if the bill
was beaten" said Governor Will
son last night, ''but it is not
dead yet. 1t is perfectly well
known that the persons who are
exerting pressure on the legis-
lature to defeat this bill are
those who wish to control grand
luries because they want to
break the law and the people of
the state will understand that
abundantly before l get through
with it,"
The President-elect said if the
jury reform bill were defeated
he would consider that he was
booked to speak in the primary
campaign next fall against as
semblymen seeking renomina-
tion who had voted against the
measure. The governors dec
laration caused furry of ex-
citment in political circles.
