At the meeting of the Trustees
of the Maui Chamber of Commerce,
held at noon on Thursday last,
the question of the Chamber taking
some action regarding an effort to
have the authorities in Washing
ton recind the order making Kahu-
lui port a Glass A" proposition,
as regards the custom house, was
brought up by J. N. S. Williams.
Mr.. Williams announced that a
communication had been received
from the Brunswick Board of Trade,
and that body asked the assistance
of the people of Maui in regard to
joint petitions to Washington,
along the lines of protesting against
the reduction of the status of their
port and the port of Kahului.
Mr.. Williams stated that a repre-
sentative of Alexander & Baldwin

every effort should be made through
that representative to have the
Kahului matter seen to. The
trustees went on record as endors-
ing the motion, and a letter was

Quick Capture
OF Burglar

Deputy Sheriff Ferriera has done
some smart work and his latest
arrest is that of a Chinese named
All Hoong, who is alleged to have
broken into the poi shop of Y. All
On and taken therefrom the sum of
$62. The money was in a box and
that receptacle was burst open and
the lock destroyed.
The robbery is said to have oc-
CURED at six O'Clock in the evening
of Friday last week, and the thief
was in custody at nine o'clock the
same evening. The burglar had no
time to spend a nickel of the money,
and it was all found in his possession
when he was arrested by the deputy
sheriff. The man was traced to the
beach and there taken into custody
just three hours after he is alleged
to have committed the robbery.
The prisoner was taken to court
and, without any delay, was COM
mitted for trial to the Circuit Court.
The man stated that he meant to
leave for Honolulu as soon after the
robbery as possible but that his
plans are now somewhat changed
The accused man worked for All
On at one period and, as he was
seen in the vicinity of the poi shop,
some time before the robbery, the
deputy sheriff quickly put two and
two together, and began the search
that ended in the arrest of the man
and the recovery Of the stolen
money.

Tragic Death
OF Baby Girl

Death has again visited Hama,
and this time it is not a man or
woman ripe in the fullness of years,
who has been cut off. A three-year
old baby girl, daughter of Manuel
Ferrieria, lighthouse keeper OF
Hama, was drowned i'll a cistern at
the residence of her grandfather on
Thursday afternoon last.
1t appears that the child, who
had been handed over to the
grandparents to be taken care
of, wandered from the sight of its
loving guardians and, in baby at
tempt to see the goldfish" over
balanced and fell headlong into the
deep pool. The water is ten feet
deep.
The alarm was given when the
child was missed, and the aged
grandfather became a hero. He
dived into the cistern and cropped
along the bottom. He felt the little
body, but was unable to lift it tc
the surface. The poor old man was
too weak and short of breath tc
remain for long below the surface,
at the depth of ten feet.
After three attempts of an heroic
character, the grandfather had tC
give up. He did his best, but ma
ture would not stand any more
The old man cried for help and ;
native woman became a heroine
She dived to the bottom of the els
tern and, gathering the body of the
baby in her arms, arose to the sur
face, 1t was seen at once that tn,
child was past human help. How
ever, everything possible was don,
to resuscitate the little one, bu
without avail
The tragedy has cast a gloon
over the Hama district and tn

the residents of the country. l

who live at the lighthouse, were al

"Play Ball"
on April 70
Maui Season Opens SOOn-New Off
GERS Elected Last Thursday
Four Good Teams

On April 20 the Maui baseball
season will open with a bang, and
from then on there will be two
games every Sunday until the Sc
ries is finished. This was all de-
cided at the meeting of the Maui
Athletic Association held on Thurs
day evening last in the county
building.
1t was decided to allow the clubs
till April 10 to turn in their team
lists. All the team must be named
and in the hands of the secretary
on the date set. 1t is expected
that there will be four teams-Paia,
Kahului, Stars and Japanese Ath-
letics-in the league. These four
teams should provide some good
sport and the baseball fans are
looking forward to their favorite
sport.
The question of an umpire was
laid aside for a while as the meet
ing could not decide on a man to
officiate. Several names were men
toned, but additional time was
given to find a man who will be
suitable to all the teams.
The first business done at the
meeting was the election of officers
for the coming season. The fol-
lowing were elected. l.. M. Bald
win, president; John A. Medeiros,
vice president; w. F. Crockett,
secretary; w. +. Bal, treasurer;
J. Garcia, V. L. Stevenson and B.
H. Rahe, executive committee.
The committee to look after the
arranging of a schedule and other
matters is as follows: J. M. Medei-
ros, DR.. .Oyama, VS.. Mountcastle,
L. A. Scars and B. H. Rahe. The
same committee will also act i'll
drawing up ground rules, etc.
There is a possibility that team
from Puunene may come in this
season, and the hope of everybody
is that it will be so. The Sunday
trains are going to make great
differance in the attendances at the
ball games this year, and there is
no doubt that the railroad company
will arrange for a late train from
Wailuku on Sunday afternoons.
Practise will start up at once.
The ground is i'll good order and
the players will enjoy getting into
harness once more. The season
should be a good one and the fans
are eager for the fray. Get to ii
and don't let there be any squabble
like there was last year.

Narrow Escape
OF Auto Party

There was a miraculous escape
from horrible tragedy last Satur-
! day afternoon when a train struck
an automobile driven by Mrs. w.
Wescoo+' &C ..nene, ana Cnrew
the machine right around till it
faced in the opposite way to which
it had been headed at the time of
the collision. No one was injured,
and those who were eye witnesses to
the affair cannot understand how
the party escaped death or being
mained.
1t appears that Mrs. Wescoatt,
with Mrs. Fantom and three chill
dren, were driving from Camp One
to Puunene. All went well till the
party reached the spot where the
railroad track crosses the road. The
car was bowling along comfortably,
and there was no thought of the
possibility of danger. A train whistle
was heard in the distance but was
soon forgotten. The car was trave-
ling at low rate of speed, and the
ladies were chatting about the social
affairs of the plantation. The
children were having the time of
their lives, and all was very fine.
AS the railroad crossing was APP
preached, train come around the
curve that leads out from a cane
field. The engineer was making
frantic efforts to stop his train and
had reversed his engines in a last
desperate hope of avoiding the
automobile, Behind the small
engine was q heavy load of port
able track rails. The load kept
showing the engine ahead, despite
all the efforts of the engineer tC
stop.
The occl pants of the automobile
became alarmed, of course, and the
driver tried to stop before the rails
were reached. The effort was not
quite successful, however, as the
front of the auto crossed the rail or
the makai side, and the next instant
the engine struck the car. The
auto was thrown around and the
rear of the car struck one of the flat
cars that the engine was hauling.
The engineer and his crew ran tC
the assistance of the ladies anC
were delighted to find that although
all the party had received a severe
shaking up, nobody was really hurt
The auto was twisted and bent a lot
but nothing was broken.
The escape from death is consider
ed to be wonderful, and people can
not yet understand how it came
about. There is no blame attached
to the engineer as he blew hi
whistle, rang his bell and did all in
his power to prevent the accident
