Old Injury
CauSesDeath

After many days of illness, . An
tone Comes, late an employee of
the Wailukn Sugar Company, died
in the local hospital. The unfor-
tunate man was injured on Decem,
ber II last, and he never fully re-
covered from the accident.
Just one week before Christmas
Comes was working on a train of
cane cars that were being brought
from Waihee. In some way he was
striken by a telephone wire and
thrown to the ground. His head
was badly injured and, in the long
run, the injury resulted in his
death.
Comes was a married man and
he leaves widow and one child.
His age was twenty-six years.
The Coroner's inquest, which
was held on Thursday night, re-
suited in a verdict of accidental
death being returned.

FalCOner Is
Very Pleased

"Well, I'm glad that | have seen
Maui and the good people of this
island" declared j. Falconer, Per-
manent Secretary of the Ancient
Order of Fortsters, to a MAUI News
reporter, the other day. The well
known man from the mainland was
enjoying rest at the Maui Hotel,
and he Was in the company of
Supervisor Pacheco, of Honolulu.
81 have seen most OF this island,
and | must say that the climate
and scenery beats anything | have
seen in the past. The combination
Bof mountain scenery and coast
scenery, as seen from the verandah
of this hotel, is wonderful. And
the climate is 50 cool and bracing.
Now, + cannot understand why
doctors do not send patients from
the mainland to Maui in order to
give them a toning up when needed.
Il have, as you are probably
aware, been secretary of the Forest
ers for many years. | have always
hoped to make a trip to Hawaii
Mr.. Hogan, the High Ranger, who
visited these islands some time ago,
spoke so highly of the group that |
felt that | would be lucky in getting
chance to come down. |, even
tually, did get that chance, and l
am glad of it.
"The whole group-I have been
to Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kauai
appeals to me. You have a
lovely home, and the world should
learn more about you all. "
Mr.. Falconer will be an ardent
booster for Hawaii when he returns
to the mainland. He says that he
never had such a good time before,
and that he hopes 10, at sJme future
date, pay the islands another visit.

Gamblers Are
Heavily Fined

Deputy County Attorney Vincent
Travelled to MakawaD last Tuesday,
and the result of his visit was that
the county of Maui is richer by
$3.50 than it was on Monday last.
The money was contributed by
party of gamblers who were cap
tured red-handed by Sheriff Crowell
and Captain Lindsay of the Wal
luku police force.
1t appears that a merry little
party of thirteen Japanese was hav-
ing a good time in a house at Paia
on Monday evening. The money
was changing hands at good rate
of speed, and the owner of the
house was getting his rakeoff for
allowing the game to go on.
Sheriff Crowell and Captain Lind
say quietly proceeded to the house
and, listening outside, heard the
rattle of dice and the clink of
money. The officers waited for a
few minutes and then rushed the
place. There was an immediate
scatter of the gamblers, and most
of the money was thrown about the
floor. Lindsay managed to get
hold of five dollar gold piece, and
that was used in evidence when the
case came up before Judge Good
ness.
The defendants, to the number OF
thirteen, pleaded not guilty, and
they were defended by Edgar Nor
ton. The defense put one man on
the stand, and he swore that the
japanese were all present in the
house in order to organize saving
society" That scheme is doomed
to have bad start, as Judge Good
ness found the bunch guilty, and
ordered the owner of the house to
pay $50. Two other old-timeIs al
the gambling game were fined S25
each, and the rest of the crowd had
to dig up ten apiece. Sheriff Grow.
ell is doing good work, and he is
determined to put a stop to the
gambling games that are rnmored
to be going on in the towns and
country districts.

no self respecting person would
stand for such a measure and that
it would be fought tooth and nail

objection in the main seems to be
in the elective commission. One

fidence in any committee that

Hotel Tells
OF Old Days

Charles Hotel. who represents
the well known automobile depart
ment of the Won Hamm Young Co.,
Ltd, has had many interesting
experiences on the racing track.
He was III the game in the old
days" and back East he used to
race around the track with the
best of the drivers of those days.
Hotel is on Maui at present and
he, the other day, told of the days
around 1867 when autos were
rather primitive and each car, even
in private use, carried a skilled
mechanic to attend to breakdowns
In those days Z. +. Bodge, the
present manager of the Won Hamm
Young garage, was in the racing
game too. Dick" as he is known
everywhere, was one of the best in
the States, and once when he went
for a tour of Europe he surprised
the citizens of some of the big
cities.
The development in automobiles
sometimes makes Hotel gasp when
he thinks of the days when the
one hunger" was the acme OF per
fection in machines, 1t is inter
esting to listen to his tales of the
days when twenty miles an hour
was good going.
I think that the wonderful
strides made in the art of auto
building are due to the perfecting
of the gasoline engine, the inven-
tion of pneumatic tires and the
constant fight for good roads upon
which high grade cars can run.
I think that Maui is in the
forefront as regards roads and that
this island is rapidly improving in
that respect, remarked Hotel to
a MAUI News reporter the other
day.
