ARBITRATION HAS
 BEEN CALLED OFF Efforts to Settle Claim of Caldwell & Drake Strikes
 a Snag in Senate.
BILL IS WITHDRAWN
House Votes to Abolish thc State Land Office and Defeats Highway
 Commission Bill.

Little Rock, Feb 24.-All hope for arbitration of the Caldwell X Drake claim against the state apparently vanished Monday afternoon when the Senate, by a vote of P to 6 declined to reduce the bond to be filed by the former contractors from $200,000 to $20000.
 It was explained that the bond was bar to any settlement of the claim, as no one could give it, and Senator Covington offered to amend by mak- ing the bond $5,000, which would cover the costs of the proceedings. Senator Jacobson, who introduced the pill naming the Supreme Court as the board of arbitration, and placing the bond at $200,000, offered the amend ment to reduce to $20000.
 Senator Moore offered an amend ment making the reduction condition al upon the old bond given by the con- tractors standing, out of which to take any judgment rendered in favor of the state Senator P A. Rodgers, objected to the reduction on the grounds that it would cost the state S15O, ,OO0 to go into the case fully and reach a settlement, even if the state won. The vote on the amendment was as follows:
 Nay-Ashley, Christian, Deaton, Ferguson, Friedell, Futrall, Great house, Holt, Lundy, Mccall, Overman, Owens, Phillips, Raney, Rodgers, Rodgers, Smith, Toler, Wagner, Was son, White, Woods, MT. President.-22
 Aye-Covington, Going, Hughes, Jacobson, Martin, McBee. After this vote Senator Jacobson asked for unanimous consent to with draw his bill and it was granted. By vote of 25 to the Senate de- clined to passe the bill by Senator Smith limiting the number of witness ses to receive per diem and mileage in felony cases to ten.
 Bills passed in the afternoon were: By Going, creating Village Creek district in Jackson county.
 By Moore, appropriating $432,S50 to complete the Capitol, and $S0,OO0 to pay outstanding bills and maintain the building for two years. 1 By Toler, requiring sworn state ments to all claims againts the state, ] with the exception of specified salaries before warrants can be issued. | Bills introduced:
 ByVLundy to preventt the creation of ! deficiencies by state boards and lnstl- tutions and providing a penalty. By Calvert and Futrell, amending the game laws so as to prohibit the
 killing of quail between March and No | vember 1, ad the killig of deer and turkey between December 20 and Mo- vember i.
 l By Moore, to redistrict the First | J District consist of Lee, Phillips and St. Francis counties, and the balance of the old First to be known as the
 Nineteenth, to be composed of White and Woodruff counties. | Governor Robinson reported sign ing the following bills: 1 s. B. 139, Miles, extending the righi of eminent domain to cities to build parks, extend b6ulevards and erect buildings.

Mexico City, Feb. 24.-fhe Huerta rule of blood or iron is triumphant for the time being. Madero is dead. His father and his uncle, Ernesto, have fled. Of this immediately family, only his sorrowi11g wife and his sis ter, Mercedes, remain.
 Every development of the day has strengthened the first belief that Ma dero and Suarez were brutally mur- dered, but this for the present is an event of the past, to be discussed only in whispers The people of Mexico City tonight are in the theatres and restaurants happy in appearance, but fearful in their hearts less the iron ical hoax of Madero's attempted flight be repeated.
 General Huerta remains at the Ma tional Palace in strictest seclusion attending to the business at hand with the most extreme firmness. The city is bedecked with bunting and flags but these symbols of beauty do not disillusion the new dictator. He
 knows that conspiracies are afoot to favenge the murder of the man whose
 bullet ridden body was placed today
 ID the most secretive and mysterious
 manner in the mausoleum in the
 French cemetery. Huerta realizes
 100, that his administration is on
 trial. If he dared to defy the United
 S'ates-and it has been charged that
 ne did by disposing of Madero before
 ne could be fairly tried, he realizes
 mat the consequences will be far
 more serious than the commission of
 the act.
 News comes from the country dis
 ulcts that certain rebel leaders are
 loady to follow the Huerta banner.
 Out news also comes of braver or per-
 uaps more frank rebels-who are de-
 'srmined not to abide by rule of blood
 and iron.

SoIonS Deny
1885, Story

Our County Fathers declare that
the story that appeared in the
Honolulu press regarding their
voting themselves twenty five dol
lars each for spending money"
while attending the Civic Conven-
tion i'll Honolulu, is not correct.
It stands on the minutes that it
was moved, seconded and properly
carried, that each delegate from
the county be allowed SIS for
expenses" 1t is now declared that
what was meant was that expenses
up to the amount of S25 would be
paid by the county upon the pro-
duCtion of receipts showing that
the debt had been incurred. So
far no. claim has been put in, and
it remains to be seen if any will be
sent i'll at the regular meeting of
the board on Wednesday next.
The whole matter has stirred up
things and there has been little else
talked of around town for the past
week.

Mccoy yHappy
On MoIokai
Federal Doctor, Who Succeeded
Or. Blue in Yellow Fever Cam
paign, Is Satisfied.

DR.. Mccoy, who for the past year
or so, has been located on Molokai
In charge of the Federal leper hos
pital was in Wailuku the other day.
The well known Federal medical
man is going to Honolulu for few
days. He has to pay visits to the
metropolis every couple of months
in order to look over the Kalihi re-
ceiving station, which is directly
under his charge.
DR.. Mccoy was the man who sue
ceeded DR.. Blue when the latter
was called by President Taft to ac-
cept the most important post-from
medical point of view-in the
United States. DR.. Blue is now
surgeon general and is head of the
wonderful organization which Uncle
Sam has built up within the past
decade or so.
Over on Molokai, where DR..
Mccoy was transferred to after the
yellow fever scare had died out in
Honolulu, there is the huge, well
appointed hospital in which science
is doing all that is possible to dis
cover a cure for the oldest disease
i'll the world. Dr. Mccoy spends
all his time working for the same
object-the discovery of some means
of curing leprosy. Constant study
is needed, and the good doctor is
always working at the seemingly
endless task.
The other day twenty-five per-
sons who had reason TO think that
they were clean" were examined
thoroughly. Out of the twenty-five,
four were found to be free from the
dread scourge. Whether these four
have been cured, the disease dying
out for some reason or another, or
whether the men were never really
lepers, is a moot question. In the
old days, before proper investigation

will be taking part in the big con-
test. The games will be bowled
on each of the respective team S
alleys, and the scores made will be
at once certified to and mailed to
each contesting clubs secretary.
In this way the tournament keeps
going without the enormous ex-
pense and trouble of having the
teams travel long distances in order
to fight it out for the honors.
The Puunene boys are getting
into form and, when the contest
opens OH October IS, the Maui
men will be ready and able to put
up a score that will, it is hoped
give them the lead in the tourna-
ment right from the jump. That
the Puunene bowlers hold the lead
right through the contest, is the
hope of all the Maui sportsmen.

HONOLULU, Oct. Poor old
Enoch Brown, Sheriff's clerk in
Hilo, seems to have prepared him
self to join the merry throng on the
hill. Sometime ago Enoch liked
his cup pretty well and the late
Sheriff Andrews dispensed with his
services for a time. Later on he
got back into service and has been
clerk in the station house for some
time. That graft should hit him
just when everyone in official posi-
ton in the district was being in.
vestigated, shows a weakness of
character that is surprising. Years
ago graft was rampant in that same
district, but it happened to strike
the license collectors only. Every
man who happened to wear q star
took it upon himself to wait on the
Chinese Merchants, and perhaps
some of the others, and shocked
into the matter of licenses for the
year. Where one was found who
had not paid, the amount was col
lected and q receipt, often a personal
one, given. The time came when
Sheriff Andrews thought he would
send around and find out how the
licenses stood, and the investigation
showed that the captain of police
had picked a few dollars and had for
gotten to turn them over. The grand
jury got hold of it and the cartain

Play Ball
Tomorrow

Tomorrow afternoon at three
o'clock the Kahului and Star base
ball teams will meet to play the
first game of the special series
needed to decide which club shall
take the championship honors.
The Kahuluis won the champion
ship of the first series, and the
Stars that of the second series. 1t
now remains to see which club is
the All-Maui champion outfit.
That the game will be a good 4,
close one, is the prediction of most
of the followers of the sport. While
Kahului may be handicapped
through injury to players, the
Stars are about III the same fix.
That the fans will be present in
hundreds, there is no doubt, and
that the roofing will be some
thing to remember, is the tip that is
going out.
Play will begin at three O'Clock
sharp, and it is up to the players
to make the game snappy and full
of life right through the nine or
more innings. May the better
team win.

Many Pupils
At School

No less than seventy-one pupils
attended the Hamakuapoko High
School last Monday. The children
are coming from all over the dis
trict, and they are now accustomed
to travelling to and fro on the train.
The school principal, Mr.. Bee
man, is doing great work, and his
ideas of education are finding much
favor with the parents of the chill
dren. The new school will be a
real high school, and graduates
from the institution will be able
to go straight to the colleges of the
mainland, without having to at
tend any preparatory schools after
leaving Maui.
Childrenfrom Wailuku, Kahului,
Puunene, Spreckelsville and Paia
are each day travelling by train to
school. Students from Makawao
and other districts reach school by
horse, rig and automobile.

Auto Smash
Court Case

At the police court during the
week there has been a case going
on that has attracted every Japanese
from Waikapu who could possibly
get away from work. 1t is an
auto collision affair, and party feel
ing seems to run very high.
Tsatuma is sueing 7. Omori for
colliding with his car on the Wal
kapu road. Tsatuma claims that
Omori came up behind him and
striking the wheel of his car, forced
him into the ditch where his car
sustained much damage.
Omori's story is that he never
touched the other car and that
Tsatuma was on the wrong side of
the road and that he also would
not move over and give him room
to pass.
The japanese of Waikapu are all
worked up over the affair, and
there seems to be much bitter feel
ing. The case was continued from
Wednesday till yesterday when
Judge Mckay decided in favor of
Tsatuma.

Loan Made
Loan Fund

1t was voted at the special meet
ing of the board of supervisors that
a sum of $3.50 be loaned" to the
Maui Loan Fund Commission,
which is about ready to shut up
shop as far as having any money is
concerned. If the Commissioners
paid the sum of $3.50, there would
only remain $3.50 in the bank. AS
at least $1,000 is thought to be
needed for other work and inspec-
tions, it was decided to- ask the
county to help out. This was done,
providing that the new loan does
not become available before Decem-
Der. Should the loan money be-
come available the county will not
advance the coin.
In talking of the fnarci state
of the county Supervisor Henning
declared that expenses would have
to be cut down and that $4,000
per month should be sufficient to
run the county. THE revenue next
year will be much smaller" said
Henning, and we must get to-
gether and try and do things like
Kauai does"

Tent City
Is Proposed
Suggestion Made That Civic Con
vention Delegates Reside Under
Canvas On Maui.

Maui is waking up to the fact
that the next civic convention will
be held on this island, and already
people are wondering where the big
bunch of visitors can be housed
during their stay on Maui. That it
could be easily done through the
help of private individuals with
large homes, is well known, but
that is exactly what most people
went to see avoided.
The idea of having the delegates
scattered all over East and West
Maui is not pleasing. There would
always be trouble in getting the
delegates together at some central
place for the meetings of the con-
vention. AS the whole affair
hinges upon the work done at the
convention, it is felt by those inter
ested in the organization that all
the delegates must be kept together
rs much as possible.
Several schemes have been moot
ed but the best would seem to be
that suggested by well aknown
Wailuku man. He declares in favor
of tent city and has the following
to say about the scheme.
I'VE will have to house the hun
dreds of delegates from Hawaii,
Oahu and Kauai. That is settled
and has to be gone through with.
Now, we have no hotel big enough
to handle the crowd as regards
rooms. We can take care of the
meals, excursions and convention.
The only thing that worries is the
sleeping accommodation for the
visitors.
Now, my idea is to establish a
tent city in Wailuku. We can bor-
row military tents and cots. The
site of the tent city can be decided
upon and grass can at once be
planted. Streets and sidewalks
can be laid out right away, and
hedges of quick growing shrubs can
be planted. The whole place can
be made ready for the erection of
the tents and the rest will be easy.
''The tent city idea is a novel one
and would appeal to the visitors.
The whole city would be lit by

N. G. H. Men
In ca m p

Company |, n. G. H., under the
command of Captain Bal, marched
out to Waihee last Saturday after
noon and camped there for the
night and all of Sunday. Forty
men turned out and the drilling
they got showed that they are all
fit and well instructed in their work.
The Company attracted much
attention as it paraded the streets,
and many favorable comments on
the appearance of the men were
heard on all sides. The Company
marched under full equipment, and
the way the men swung along the
streets of the town and the country
roadsl showed that they were proud
of their work.
On Sunday afternoon the men
returned to Wailuku and, strange
to say, most of them were quite
familiar with the latest Maui boost
ing phrases. The yells that were
brought back from Honolulu by the
Maui delegates were to be heard
everywhere OH Sunday afternoon.

Salary Cut
Is Mooted

That there will be cut" all
around in the wages and salaries of
many county employees, is the
sad news announced by the board
of supervisors. A ten per cent re-
duction in wages is suggested and,
at the regular meeting of the board
next Wednesday, the matter will
be taken up.
1t is planned to have the heads
of the various departments confer
with the members of the board
and to try and get together on the
question of reducing salaries or
discharging employees. The sug-
gestion has been made that the
better course would to be to fire
any employee who can be spared
That would, it is thought, be better
Ethan to cut salaries of everybody.
That something has to be done
is certain. The revenue of next
year will be less than ever, accord
ing to those who know, and the
sooner a reduction is made the
better it will be for everyone con-
cerned. The whole matter will be
threshed out next week, and there
is sure to be a lively row over the
proposed reductions i'll salaries.

dropped. Unless memory fails, the

No less than 300 pupils were en-
rolled on the opening day of this
term, at the Wailuku Public School
Nine grades exist and there are
eight teachers. Miss Ida Crickard
is the principal of the school.
The enrolment, at the beginning
of the year, is the largest in the

member that some of the pupils Of
this school, particularly those of the
higher grades, have entered the new

More Birds
Released

Pheasants are being released on
Maui and Molokai again, and last
week ffty-one birds were set at
liberty. The birds are Of the Jap
anese variety and they are consider
ed to be very hardy. Fifty more
pheasants are still to come from
Japan to complete the order origin
ally sent to the agents in Yoko-
hama.
1t has been suggested that the
close season for pheasants should be
extended for three entire years, in
order to give the birds an opportun-
ity to become properly established
in these islands.
Quail will, probably, be also Sc
cured from Mexico and thousands
of the little feathered ones will be
released on Maui. The Mexican
variety is said to be remarkably
strong one, and there is no doubt
that the birds will soon multiply
and, eventually, add much to the
hunting opportunities on Maui.

Bowling Soon

On October Is the Inter-Island
bowling tournament will begin,
and there will be four teams taking
part in the exciting series. Kauai
will have one team, Maui one and
Oahu two. These four teams will
provide some great sport before the
end of the series comes, and the
results of the various contests will
be watched with interest.
Each team will have five men
and the best rollers of the territory
