ginning to smoke and that already
in one place there was fire. The
young fellows got busy and kept the
walls of the house wet, and thus
prevented the fire from speading.
In the meantime some more men
had taken another chemical to the
house on the other of the Barrus
home. There was danger of fire
there, too, and the small apparatus
saved that building. The occupants
of the houses had removed their fur
niture and it was piled up on the
road. 1t was feared that the wind
would rise and that the whole west
ern side of the town would go
pin smoke.

No Truth In
Grave Charge

Howard Bowen, of Molokai, did
not have to worry much over the
charge laid against him of illegally
branding calves. The matter was
brought to the attention of Judge
Conradt and, after some talk from
the attorneys in the case, the pro-
position of committing the accused
was at once dropped. There was
no case against Mr.. Bowen and the
charge was dismissed.
From all the evidence and stories
told, it appears that Mr.. Bowen was
noteve on Molokai when the alleg-
ed illegal branding was done Bow
Ell S men and one of Mrs. Nakuina's S
the complainant in the case-did
the branding, and they did it in
the most innocent way. The men
thought that when Bowen bought
the ranch from Mrs. Nakuina, he
also bought all the wild and tame
cattle on the place. In fact, with
in half an hour of the time that the
calves were branded, Mrs. Nakuina
knew of the matter. That was on
August IS, 1912. Not a single
word was said by the woman till
some proceedings we're brought
against her for foreclosure of a
mortgage a short time back. Then
she got busy and had Bowen arrest
ed on what is declared by the court
to be a baseless charge.
Judge George Davis appeared
for Mr.. Bowen and the County was
represented by Acting County At
torney Enos Vincent. The latter,
after hearing all the facts of the
case, decided that there was moth
ing to the criminal charge. An
agreement was come to between
the parties as regards the land
cattle and other matters, and it is
hoped by everyone that the prac-
tise of having people arrested on
charges that cannot possibly be
borne out in court will be dropped
for ever.

Big Tennis
Contest On

There is not much doubt that
tennis is getting a great hold on the
Maui athletes and that the game is
more popular than ever nowadays.
No sooner is one tournament finish
ed, than another is started up and,
at the present moment, two highly
interesting contests are being fought
out on the Kahului and Puunene
courts. The handicap doubles at
Kahului, for the two cups present
ed by the Puunene Store, is well
under way, and the tennis is of a
high standard. The Boiling CUP is
being fought for on the Puunene
courts and, as it is a singles affair,
there is much doing every afternoon.
The doubles at Kahului began on
Saturday afternoon last and the
first match was that between Rice
and Coils and w. Walsh and
Stevenson. The last named pair
owed the other couple fifteen in
every game. The go was for the
best two out of three sets, and Rice
and Coils won: 60, SO, 6-1.
Walsh did his share, but his part
ner was very weak especially on the
serve. Rice played a slashing game
and smashed everything that came
his way. Coils also showed up
well, and it is thought that the pair
will go close to winning the finals.
Another match that was played
off during the week was that be-
tween Gordon-Doig and Cannon
Hay Uahaina). The home pair
won in two sets straight, score
GA, 6-2.
Still, two other Lahaina players
were seen in action. They were
Schoenberg and Nicholson who went
up against j. J. Walsh and E. r.
Bevins. The result was n win for
the KahulHi team, 6-2, 6-1.
On Wednesday Engle and Collins
went down in defeat to Burns and
Burns, score 60, 6-3.
d. G. Lindsay ard A. w. Collins,
on Thursday, defeated Thomson
and Sawyer, GA, GA. There are
several more matches to be played
| in the first round.

Quick Arrest
OF Thief

Last Saturday night a Filipino
stole S4.20 from a billiard parlor on
Market street. He made the touch
at half-past five O'Clock and at five
forty-fve was in the pen, with the
money found in his possession.
1t seems that the proprietor of
the billiard parlor was standing at
his door, peering at the passing
throng and hoping for a few GUS
toners. The Filipino visitor was
seated in the room-not far from
the till. He now says that he
reached for the drawer and
annexed the sum of money men,
toned and, as it was all in dimes
and nickels, tied the coin up in his
handkerchief. He then departed
after wishing the owner of the place
fond farewell.
Shortly afterwards, the billiard
man discovered his loss and he
quickly sought out the deputy She
riff. That officer got busy and soon
found the thief. The Filipino, when
arrested, denied. everything, but a
short search revealed the stolen
money hidden in his stocking.
Judge Mckay did the neenful on
Tuesday morning and the Filipino
went up for six months.

Especial Correspondence.

HONOLULU, May 22-There
seems to be something very like a
halt in the proceedings in which
Messrs. Pope and Wood figured re-
Gently and, in spite of the fact that
the Governor has stated that he was
going into the evidence, testimony,
or whatever the legal term may be,
in order to familiarize himself there
is Il hidden feeling that he is hold
ing back his decision with a view to
leaving the settlement of the ques-
ton as heritage to hissuccessor. Re-
preventative PaXon called on the
Governor the other day to ascertain
what he is doing in the premises
and learned as above. The Gov
ernor's replies to the question s pro-
pounded by PaXon would indicate
an intention to clean out the de-
partment. In fact the Governor is
quoted as saying it is what he will
do. But, in spite of that, there
seems to be an element of doubt as to
the end. Both Pope and Wood are
seen on the street together OCCASION

STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

On Sunday last the Maui base
ball series was advanced half a
point. That is to say, only one
game of the regular series was
played-the first go was only an
exhibition game between the Stars
and the Puunenes. The result of
both contests are shown above.
The Kahuluis have pretty well
destroyed their prospects by for
feiting their game to the Puunenes.
Through the forfeiting of the game,
the Stars and Kahuluis are now
tied for the lead in the series. The
two leading teams are scheduled tc
play tomorrow. and it is to be
hoped that true craftsmanship will
prevail, and that there will be nc
more scrapping.

Maui
Tennis &C.,

Senator H. A. Baldwin, of Paia,
has come out with the following
generous offer of trophies for a
championship tennis tournament.
A copy of the following letter has
been sent to all the differen. club
secretaries:
The Secretary Kahului Tennis
Club.
Dear sir:
To further encourage good ten
mis- on Maui, l should like to offer
suitableltrophies for a Maui cham
pionship doubles tournament; and
since your courts are probably the
best club courts on Mani, as well
as being centrally located, should
be glad if your club would accept
)these trophies in trust for the win
ners and handle this tournament,
in cooperation with the other prin-
cipal Maui tennis organizations.
Inasmuch as this tournament would
be an "All-Maui' affair, l believe
the most satisfactory method would
be to allow the leading Maui tennis
clubs to have some part in its man
agement, and you will note that
this idea is embodied in Section 4
below. l would therefore offer
these trophies under the following
conditions:
/. Tournament to be held il
July each year so long as trophie:
are in circulation.
2. Entries to be open to all bona
fide residents of Maui; players tC
arrange their own partners anc
enter as teams.
3. Contest to be straight cham

Big Dredger
From HiIo

Last Monday the big dredger from
Hilo arrived and she is now anchor
ed in Kahului harbor The dred-
ger caused a sensation as she appear
ed off the Maui coast on Sunday
evening. She was lit up like-as
one man said-"A floating palace
hotel" The dredger certainly did
look well illuminated.
Work will be started at once on
the deepening of Kahului harbor
and it is said that the operation will
cost in the neighborhood of $50, 200.
The Kahului job is the first of the
bunch that is to be tackled, and the
work will be rushed to a rapid cor
clusion.
The men who work the dredger
can live on board the vessel. She.
is big craft and has attracted much
attention as she lays in Kahului
harbor.

Four Bouts
At Puunene

There will be some fun at the
Puunene Theatre this evening when
q boxing show will be given. Four
bouts are to be pulled off and an
unlimited amount of stoush is to be
dealt out by the aspiring pugs.
The mitt artists are all ready for
the fray, and the welcome sound of
the glove wallops will make those
present imagine that they are once
more seated in the old Orpheum
in Honolulu peace to the ashes of
that old joint.
The main event this evening will
be a six round go between Kelsner
who is billed as the heavyweight
champion of the islands, and Sui
livan, man who is said to have a
punch in the both hands. The go
should please the most fervent fan.
The second item on the fstiC
program is contest between be-
tween Alama and Kamioka, who
rank as featherweights. 1t will be
three round go, and is sure to be
fanny-if not scientific.
Two welterweights, Almost and
Dudoit, will go over a course OF
three rounds, and most people are
wondering if one of them will al,
most do it-help! The boys are SAID
to be willing enough, and there
should be some gore around before
the go ends.
The show will wind up with {
three round contest between Masur;
and Yeckman, and it will be of the
lively variety, according to reports
The promoter is seeking to get the
game going on Maui, and he viii
not stand for any funny business
The first bout is timed to start a
eight O'Clock, and by that tim'
there should be a full house.

New Crew
For SeWall

On Tuesday last a new crew for
the Edward Sewall arrived on the
S. S. Claudine, from Honolulu.
The men are of many different races
and all have been to sea at one time
or another 1t was at first intended
TO ship a crew in Honolulu, when
the Sewall reached there under tow.
That plan was abandoned, however,
and shipping commissioner e. r.
Bevlns signed the men on at Ka-
hului upon their arrival at that port
The Sewall got away for the At
lantic side on "Wednesday She took
full cargo of sugar for Delaware
Breakwater.
The cost of getting the Sewall off
the reef at Kahului was $500
The Inter-Island Company got ST.
500 of the amount, and the Kahului
Railroad Company $1,000. 1t is
said that the first claim of the Inter
Island Company was for $4,000.
The Navajo, which did a lot of the
necessary work. got nothing-so it
is said.

MISERABLE PRESSURE.

As soon as the Wailuku fremen
arrived, they stretched their hose
from the main street to the scene of
the fire. 1t was some considera BILE
distance and the water pressure was
miserable. The stream of water
thrown was very weak and, but for
the seriousness of the fire, people
would have laughed. That there
should be a larger water pipe line
installed at once, is the opinion of
everybody who saw the blaze Of
Thursday.
The firemen did their best and
stood a lot of heat and discomfort,
but they could not get much water
on the fire as the fluid simply came
out of the nozzle as from n garden
faucet. Kahului should have a
better water supply for cases of
emergency, and Wailuku should
have an engine that will pump
water, and not have to trust to or
dinary pressure, =" said one well
known man yesterday.

about five O'Clock, Superintendent

In an exhibition game that was played
to fill in time, the Stars put it over the
PuuneneS to the tune of 8 to 6. The
KahuIuis would not fill their engagement
on account of a threatened protest by
the Puunenes against the playing of a
man who is not a legal resident.
