MAUI TRIP FOR
LEGISLATORS MAY
NOT MATERIALIzE

To go or not to go? That is the
question. *"..-~ -. %" -. ..
Is Maui tight. or is the senate
tight? s.> ~
The Maui trip is off-or at least
half off. Senator Metzger, chairman
of the committee on arrangements for
the trip, shakes his head when he
speaks of it, and the dollar signs re-
fleet in his eyes. n.
Vulgar money has been the cause
of all the trouble. According to Mr..
Metzger's information Maui does not
feel like paying the expenses of the
legislative trip. a:.. :
All this developed when the oues-
ton of financing the trip to Maui
came uE. The senstors and repre-
sentatives had accepted the invitation
of Maui to visit the Valley Isle March
20, and committee had been formed
to make arrangements. AS this is a
no-pay-no-work age, the committee
began at once to arrange the financial
arrangement But 10! Maui was

trips and therefore Maui must suffer
their absence.

fire ACCIDENTAL
SAYS M'DUFFIE

After an investigation which COW
cred the greater part of yesterday and
this morning, Chief of Detectives Nc
Duffie has finally come to the conclu-
sion that the fire Sunday morning,
which partially destroyed three stores
on Emma street near Vineyard, was
purely accidental
The story told by ]. Petrillo, who
was taken to the hospital after the
fire suffering from burns about the
face, and who was later placed under
suspicion by the police as having set
the fire, was brief and practically
clears up what has been a mystery
both to the fire chief and the detect
i've force. PetTillo says that, having
some extra work to do he went to his
shop late Saturday night. Not want
ing to start the machinery in his
shop and thereby wake up the neigh
tofs, he looked for lamp with which
to heat some tools to do the work.
His lamp. he found, had little oil in
IL, and after he had lit 1t, screwed off
the top and commenced to fill it with
what he supposed was kerosene, but
which later turned out to be gaso>
line.
An explosion followed, which blew
out the front windows of Petrillo's
shop and severely burned him about
the face and arms. Seeing that the
place was on fire. he made an exit
through the back wondow and ran to
his home to have his burns attended
10, where the fire chief found him
and had him removed to the hospital.
McDuffie said this morning that In
his opinion the fire was purely acct
dental and that Petrillo had no inten-
ton Of setting it. IF he had wanted
to set fire, he would have resorted
to much easier method" said the
chief.

Make the fight your own" was the
gist of Carter's remarks to his hear
ers, ana from meeting which at first
seemed to have no more interest than
polite consideration of the subject,
ended with considerable enthusiasm
shown. A number told of what they
were at present doing in individual
work, to counterfeit misapprehensions
regarding the industry of these
islands. John Watt told how he was
telling visitors to the Olaa mill that
all plantations were not big money
makers, pointing to the reports of the
plantation which he manages to prove
his remarks. JOHN Moir said that he
thought he could interest some people
whom he had met at the Republican
convention in Chicago last spring,
who could eventually reach congress
men and senators. John Scott, Engi-
heer Southworth and John Ross were
others who said they believed in the
personal appeal campaign. ... 49,
