ExpertProber
On Vacation

II. Gooding Field, the expert in
vestigator and practical business
organizer, was ON Maui for Il few
days this week. lie was on a vaca-
ton from his arduous duties as a
"prober" Of Hawaii county finan-
cial conditions, and took the oppor-
tunity Of paying his brother, w. II.
Field, a visit.
We are gradually clearing up
matters on Hawaii" said Mr..
Field, and l am glad to say that
the county is getting back some of
the money that went astray during
the past few years. We are work
ing hard on the proposition, and
have still a lot more to do. There
may be some more startling ex-
posures within a short time.
THE general opinion is that the
whole matter should be followed to
its logical end, and that everything
should be cleared up, There have
been some most daring things done
in the past-did l say glaring or
daring? and, for the best interests
of the community, such things
should be made impossible of repe-
tition.
There is still tremendous
amount of work to be done and, as
soon as | get back, will have to
start digging again" "
Mr.. Field saw a good deal Of
Maui while here, and travelled pretty
well all over the scenic parts of
this island. He declared himself
delighted with what he saw, and
hopes that some day he may spend
a few months here i'm order to get
acquainted with everyone.

Play Ball
Tomorrow

Tomorrow afternoon, on the Wal
luku baseball diamond, the All
Maui team will go up against the
Next Best" bunch, and a great
game should result. The All Maui
boys, of course, feel that they should
get the goats" of the Rest" but,
there is many a slip, etc. Harold
Rice won't hear Of his boys getting
beaten, but there are some fans who
say that it will be a tight go. 1t is
to be hoped that a big crowd turns
up to see the game and that the
weather remains fine.
The Paia band, under the leader
ship Of Father Francis, will dis
course sweet melody, and that feat
ure will be much appreciated by the
crowd. The band will liven things
up a lot, and the lovers Of baseball
will have the time OF their lives
watching the play and listening to
the music.
"Rice's Rcliables," as the team
has been nicknamed, are in fine
form and, as all Maui people have
a great interest in the team that is
to invade Oahu next February, it is
to be hoped that there will be a
bumper turnout tomorrow at the
baseball park. The game will be
called at half-past two O'Clock.

Especial Correspondencee.)

HONOLULU, Nov 2S.-It was
only the change in conditions in
the territory that enabled the Nc
Inerny family to obtain the large
area of the land from Bishop estate
at the price paid for it. There is,
| believe, solid tract of one hun
dred and fifty-siX acres, most Of it
as finely located as any in The
county, and it is to be opened up
as residence sites. Negotiations be-
gan about nine months ago, and
were progressing satisfactorily when
Mr.. VIII McInerny, in whom the
title is now vested, decided to drop
it. Later he took it up at the re-
quest of the Bishop estate and, still
later, when the depression in the
sugar industry came, he dropped it
again. Recently he went to the
coast and left matters in the hands
OLA. j. Campbell, who was deputiz-
ed to complete the arrangements,
and when Mr.. Mclnerny returned
home last Monday and heard the
report, he decided to close the deal
and the papers were signed next

Thanksgiving
Observed

Thanksgiving was duly observed
i'll Wailulu and all over Maui, for
that matter. The day was one of
good cheer and the residents of
Maui all had a joyous time. The
famous bird was in evidence on
most tables, and the necessary
fiNings' - were also to be seen.
There was an air of prosperity
shown, and even the low price of
sugar and the prospects Of no price
at all-should Wilson get his way
did not make any difference in
the festivities.
The stores closed, i'll most cases,
for at least half a day, and the en-
ployees went home and had their
turkey in comfort, without the
thought of having to rush back to
work again i'll the afternoon,
There were many dinner parties
and there was also a special dinner
at the Maui Hotel. Many people
who dislike the hard work of get
ting up a dinner at home, availed
themselves of the opportunity to
dine at the hotel. Visitors from
Lahaina were seen in town and
they all seemed to enjoy themselves.
The next great date is Christmas
Day, and already plans are OH foot
for entertainments to take place
during the festive season.

R. A. WadSWOrth, who is booster
for Maui always.

There is every chance that the
get together" dinner suggested by
r. A. Wadsworth will be brought
off soon. The people who are in
terested in the scheme are sounding
the men who are likely to attend,
and the prospects are that a real
live boosting banquet will be held,
at which ali those who have the
best interests of Maui at heart will
attend in a body.
The idea is to get things ready,
in a social way, so that when the
Honolulu Ad. Club visits Maui, the
people of Maui will know one an
other better, and be in closer touch
than at present. To make the visit
of the Ad. Club members successful ,
and to insure the success of Maui 5
celebration when the Civic Conven-
ton is held here next year, it is
thought that a dinner would be the
best way to get things going.
Mr.. Wadsworth is a live booster
for the convention next year, and
his idea of a dinner being given,
meets with the approval Of many
people.

Maui Team
Practising
Manager Rice Has Taken Hold
OF Nine-GOOd Work Being
Done.

On Tuesday afternoon last the
All-Maui baseball team got down to
practice for the first time and the
boys showed up well for starter.
Manager Harold Rice was present
and he kept the players on the
jump, all the time. The new man
ager will keep the players up to the
mark, and there is no doubt that
Maui will be properly represented
on the Honolulu diamond next
February.
The players turned up at half
past four O'Clock and, from that
time till dark, were going for all
they were worth. There was no
loafng around, and everyone had
to work. The right spirit seemed
to prevail and the boys were on the
job all the time.
Practice was also had on Wednes
day and yesterday. The object Of
the manager is to get the Ieam in
to the oest possible form. a game
will be played tomorrow between
the All-Mauis and the Next Best. "
The game should warm up the re-
preventative bunch, and make them
get down to business properly.
Five games in all will be played be-
fore the Maui team goes up against
the Honolulu nine that is expected
to play here during Christmas
week.
1t was thought that the Asahis,
of Honolulu, would come to Maui
but it had been found impossible
for that organization to make the
trip. However, another team will
be invited, and it is thought that a
strong nine will pay Maui visit.
The object of getting the Honolulu
team is to give the Maui fellows a
good tryout, and to raise funds to
finance the visit to Honolulu in
February.

Good Tennis
At Puunene

Down at Puunene the Rice Cup
tennis tournament is nearing the
end. There have been some inter
esting matches played, and some of
the tennis has been exciting. Quite
a number of enthusiasts take a run
down to see the matches and much
interest is taken i'll the struggle.
At the present time of writing, it
looks as if two Paia teams will
fight it out in the finals. Rice and
Rosecrans should meet Lindsay
and Collins. There may, of course,
be a slip-up, but the general idea
is that the pairs named will be in
the finals.
During the week Engle and DR..
Young beat c. Campbell and Nc
Larens two sets straight, o., o.,
The second set was a good one and,
for a time, it looks as if Campbell
and his partner would win. Engle
was off his game for a while, but
picked up again later on. Engle
and Young then gained another
victory on Monday, when they
beat Savage and McLaren, 40,
6-3, 6-3. On Tuesday +. F. Bald
win and w. Walsh played Thorn
son and Murry. The result was a
win for Baldwin and Walsh, by
a score of 6-2, 6-S, 6-3.
On Thursday afternoon Collins
and Lindsay beat Baldwin and
Walsh, 6-2, o., 6-2.

Another narrow escape from a
total wreck was experienced ON
Thursday evening last about seven
O'Clock, when the oil-taukcr Santa
Maria hit the reef off Kahului har-
Dor and stuck fast. Fortunately,
the heavy weather Of the past week
had somewhat subsided, and the
steamer was gotten off the rocks at
an early hour yesterday morning
The Santa Maria arrived off Ka-
hului, after dark on Thursday even
ing. She had large cargo of oil
for Maui and it was intended to
bring her into the harbor at day
light. In some manner she got too
close into shore and hit the reef
not very far from where the ship
Sewall was stranded some months
ago. AS soon as she hit, an attempt
was made to tighten her, and some
thousands of barrels of oil were al
lowed to flow into the sea. For Il
time the waves were breaking over

Drove AIonq
SideW ak

When Jael Hola thought the
usual thoroughfare along Market
street was not good enough for
him and his automobile, he got busy
and thought out another scheme.
He turned his car onto the sidewalk
and drove along from Borba's
store to Kalua Lane. This remark
able stunt was performed at half
past ten O clock at night and, for
tunately, there were but few people
about.
Just as Jael was driving back on
to the street a police officer, who
had watched the performance, ar
rested him. Jael was surprised
and could only say that he had
mistaken the sidewalk for the road.
That explanation did not go, how
ever, and he had to put up bail
money to guarantee that he would
appear in court on Tuesday.
Judge Mckay was astounded at
the evidence given in the case and,
after looking at Jael for a minute,
asked if it was the defendants
first offense. The reply being in
the affirmative, a fine of IS was
inflicted on the daring chauffeur.

the vessel, and the captains room
was flooded. The oil calmcd down
the sea a lot, besides tightening the
ship.
When the plight of the steamer
became known, the tug Leslie Bald
win was sent out with a scow i'm
tow. a large anchor was taken out
and dropped from the scow, and
attached by u cable to the steamer.
Then, under her own power, the
Santa Maria was hauled off the
reef.
From what can be learned, it
seems that the steamer hit the reel
while trying to make the Kahulu'
harbor and, as soon as the shock
was felt, the anchors were let go,
and the vessel was brought to a
standstill.
From a casual survey, there ap.
pears to be no serious damage to the
hull of the steamer and she is max.
ing no water.
