New Boat
Club Starts

There will be meeting in the Ban
quet Hall of the Masonic Temple on
Tuesday evening, February %, at
1870 Central time) for the pur-
pose of forming a Rowing and
Swimming Club, with headquarters
at Kahului. This new club is being
formed for the purpose of carrying
on rowing and representing Maui
in the annual Regatta held in Ho-
nolulu.
The new club will take the place
of the rowing branch of the Puunene
Athletic Club. The Puunene club
will donate the boats to the new
organization, and there is no doubt
that the rowers will continue to
uphold the honor of Maui in the
same good old style.

Sad News OF
Young Man

1t will be learned with regret that
j. Whitten, an employee of the Ka-
hului Railroad merchandise depart
ment, was stricken with what was
diagnosed as spinal meningitis, last
week. The young man who has
only been in the islands for couple
months, caught a cold, after getting
heated up at tennis. He thought
nothing of the cold, and spent a
day up the mountain at the Rev.
Mr.. Bowdish's home. There, un-
favorable symptoms became appa-
rent, and Whitten was taken to the
Puunene hospital for treatment.
Mr.. Written came from Southern
California to Maui. His people live
in New Jersey, and they been cabled
regarding the condition of their son.
The young fellow is a favorite at
Kahului and everyone is sorry to
hear the sad news.

Tennis Will
Be Boosted

On Monday evening last there
was a meeting of those Wailuku
people who are fond of amateur
sports of all sorts. Many people
who cs''' cot attend the meeting,
still took an interest in the matter
and they have asked to be kept III
touch with the movement. The
meeting was held in the gymna-
stun, and was well attended.
The Wailuku Gymnasium Club
has a committee that attends to all
kinds of sports. This was recog-
nized by those present at the meet
ing on Monday evening, and all
that was done was to appoint a
subcommittee that will investigate
different proposed forms of sport,
and the probabilities of establishing
the same. The committee will then
report back to the regular commit
tee of the gymnasium.
There was a great deal of talk
about tennis, and it was easily seen
that that popular branch of sport is
highly thought of as all outdoor
stunt. The probabilities are that
tennis will be taken up properly in
Wailuku, and that matches will be
played against Paia, Puunene and
Kahului, in the near future.
The committee appointed tolook
into matters is as follows: c. E.
Myers (chairman), w. S. Chilling
worth, lad. Chislett, George H.
Cummings and John Nelson.
Besides tennis, bowling, swim
ming and running, there was men-
ton of other branches of sport.
These may be taken up later on
but, at the present time, all efforts
are being directed to establishing a
tennis club for Wailuku. The mat
ter of a diving board for the swim
ming pool was also brought up,
and steps will be taken to obtain
this very necessary apparatus
There. is plenty of available
material for many sports in Wal
1uku, and it only needs a concerted
effort by those who take an inter
est in athletics to get things going
properly i'll this town.

[ Special Correspondence. ]

HONOLULU, Feb. 20.-Surely
this week has been one of fatal and
unfortunate accidents in which lives
have been lost and property to the
value of millions destroyed. Be-
ginning with Saturday night Miss
Chapman, venerable and highly
respected English spinster, was kill
ed by being knocked down by an

Following this came the accident to
the members of the mechanical staff
of the Star-Bulletin in which one
young man lost his life, and his
brother suffered a fractured leg.
Still another man, a linotype ope-
rator, was badly injured by being
dashed against the rocks by a

Cuts
Up OverSeer
Pioneer Mill Employee Is Almost
Murdered By LabOrer r-NarrO~
Escape From Death.

Another crime is laid at the door
OF the little brown brother" so
tondly named by Taft. This time
a Portuguese man, Manuel Santos,
is lying in the hospital with his
head cut open, and Il Filipino
named Juan Perimito is confined
in Jail awaiting trial at the Circuit
Court. The cutting took place at
Lahaina, and the injured man is
an employe Of the Pioneer Mill
Company.
1t appears that on Tuesday last
a luna named Manuel Santos took
out a gang of men to the cutting
field. Among the workers was the
Filipino who now is under arrest.
From the story told by the luna, it
seems that the Filipino was a law
worker, and would not try to keep
up with the rest of the gang. The
luna tried iollying the man along,
and even went as far as to cut cane,
side by side with him, in the hopes
OF increasing the laborer's stroke.
After a while, it is alleged, the
Filipino struck the luna's arm and
caused the cane knife he was using
to fall to the ground. The knife
was then pounced upon by the Fill
pino, and turned against the owner.
One slash was made, and the knife
struck Santos just over the left ear.
The wound inflicted was a deep
one and, if the knife had not been
held at an angle, the luna's head
would have been cut off. As it was,
the knife severed part of the unfor-
tunate mans ear, and cut deep in
to his skull. Santos fell to the
ground with blood pouring from his
head. The Filipino threw away
the knife and ran from the field.
Some of the cane cutters then
picked Santos up and conveyed him
to the hospital where he was admit
ted for treatment. 1t was found
that he had had a narrow escape from
being murdered, as the knife had
almost cut through to his brain.
The would-be murderer was ar
rested in the town of Lahaina on
Tuesday evening. He was brought
before the police court on Wednes-
day, and was prosecuted by Deputy
County Attorney Vincent. The lower
court committed Perimito to the
Circuit court for trial.

A. K. Slender
Passes Away

A. X, Slender, one of the old
timers on Maui, died yesterday
morning at three o'clock. He was
the proprietor of the Kahului saloon
and was a we'll known identity.
Years ago Mr.. Slender lost his right
arm through an accident at Wal
kapu.
Born in Sweden, about sixty
years ago, Mr.. Slender was attracted
to the islands many years ago. He
settled on Maui, in the plantation
line of work, and succeeded very
well.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon and there was a large at
tendance. The Knights of Pythias,
of which the deceased was a mem
Der, attended the funeral in a body.

New Railroad
Tariff Ready

On March l the new local freight
tariff and classification of the Ka-
hului Railroad will come into effect.
The tariff is now ready and the
company will start operations under
it next Saturday.
The classification is complete,
and takes in every possible article
that could be shipped over the lines
of the railroad company. Shippers
are particularly requested to enter
weights or measurements on ship
ping receipts, and in all cases to
sign same.
The tariff schedule is gotten up
in fine form and is easy to under
stand.

Fifty Rides
For Five Spot

School teachers and others will
be interested to learn that a change
is being made as regards the issu-
ing of Communication tickets on the
lines of the Kahului Railroad sys-
tenn. In future no Communication
tickets can be issued, because the
Interstate Commerce law adjudges
that such tickets are expressive of
class distinction.
The Kahului Railroad will cam
eel all the first and second-class
Communication tickets for teachers
and school children, and will issue
fifty-ride tickets" at S. each.
This ticket will, in comparison
with the old frst-class ticket that
allowed 21 rides for S2.75, be a lit
tie less expensive while, the same
new ticket will be trife more ex-
pensive than the second class
ticket that used to allow p rides
for 50.
The new S. ticket will be good
for all trains, and should become
very popular. The change has not
been brought about by the Kahu-
lui company. 1t has been init
mated to the company that the
communication tickets issued in the
past; are not legal, and the change
has, therefore, to be made at once.
Workmen's tickets will, in the
future, have to be used on trains
that are intended for workmen.
The tickets will not allow work
men to travel OH any other trains
between Kahului and Wailuku.
The cost of the workmen's tickets
is set at 1.50-for so rides.

high Honor
For Hawaii
Polo Men

All Hawaii defeated Boisse City
in a polo game on Thursday, by a
score of IA to 4. 1t was famous
victory, and All-Hawaii did not
have the services of Walter Dilling-
ham, who was detained at the bed
side of his baby who has pneumo-
mia. Sam Baldwin took Walters s
place and played the game of his
life.
This is not the only good news
from the Coast. 1t is stated on
good authority that Hawaii will be
represented on the All-Ameircan
team, when that four goes up
against the rest of the world. That
is an honor that was half expected
by those who know how the players
from Hawaii compared with others
from foreign lands, but the general
public certainly did not think our
players would be so honored.
However, the fact remains that
either Frank Baldwin or Walter
Dillingham; will make the ALL
American team. Hawaii nei is on
the polo map of the world, and the
English players will carry the news
to India and all other places where
the Sahib is supreme.

Sunday Trains
To Country
Haiku Extension Completed
People Will Be Able to Travel
On Sabbath.

On February 8 the first train
crossed the MaIiko gulch and
steamed right through to Haiku.
That train was a freight, and did
not carry passengers. Still, the
directors of the Kahului Railroad
were delighted that at last the ex-
tension that taps the rich pineapple
lands of Haiku was an accom-
plished fact.
On Monday, February II, the
first passenger train was run
through from Kahului to Haiku,
and the line was then opened to
traffic. The trains are now run
ming to the district, and many pas
sengers have already made the trip.
The freight trains are carrying
large quantities of general mer-
chandise to Haiku and way sta
tions, and the system is now in full
swing.
The construction of the Haiku
extension of the Kahului Railroad
was carried to a successful conclu-
sion through the efforts of Super
intendent J. N. S. Williams, of
the company. The engineering
problems were many, and the big
gulch at Maliko had to be bridged.
The bridge is the highest in the
territory and also the longest.
The Kahului Railroad intends to
start running Sunday trains in the
near future. 1t is felt that the
time has come when every facility
should be given the country people
to come to town" The Kahu-
lui and Wailuku people also feel
the need of being able to get away
into the country for a few hours.
There are now plenty of places to
go to on the train, and there is no
doubt that the Sunday service will
be we'll patronized.
Two or three trains, each way,
will probably be run each Sunday.
That will give the Pauwela, Haiku,
Paia and other people chance OF
visiting Wailuku and Kahului
There are many beauty spots
around the Pauwela district, and
the pineapple fields of that place,
and the larger ones of Haiku, will
we'll repay visit. Then there is
the wonderful bridge across Malikc
gulch. That sight should not be
missed by single resident of Maui

Divorce Roads
Water Dept.

There will be three divisions III
future in the water works depart
ment of Maui. Three districts,
with superintendent to match,
have been proclaimed, and they
are as follows: Wailuku, w. f..
Bal, Jr., salary $50 per month; La
haina, r. P. Hose, salary, $50;
Makawao, Alonzo Jackson, salary,
500 per month. These superin-
tendents are to be put under bonds
of S3, 900 each.
The divorcing of the road de-
partment from the water works
department, came about easily
enough, and the change is thought
by all interested in the matter, to
be for the best.
District overseer Bal, who is in
charge of both Wailuku and Maka-
wac, will be relieved of the latter
charge at the end of this month
He will then devote all his time to
the work of Wailuku alone.
The Makawao district is to be
divided into two and two overseers
will be put in charge. The change
will, it is believed, make things
easier to manage in future.

Weekly Pay
For Laborers

From March l on, the road and
other employees of the county. will
be paid once a week. The innova-
ton was decided upon at the meet
ing of the board of supervisors
held this week. All laborers will
receive their wages weekly, and
will not have to wait till the end of
the month for their pay,
The foremen in charge of the
many jobs on the roads, ETC., will
draw the necessary money from
either of the banks, each Saturday,
and will then pay off his gang.
The foreman has to send i'll a re-
port of the work done, to the
county clerk, and that official will
authorize the drawing of the neces-
sary funds from the bank. AT the
end of the month the amount
drawn must balance with the war
rants issued for the particular
work.
The laborers and casual workers
for the county welcome the new
idea. In the past they had to wait
till the middle of the month follow
ingSthe one III which they earned
the money, to get their Legitimate
dues.

Will Extend
Maui Hotel

w. H. Field, proprietor of the
Maui Hotel, has secured the lease
of the land that adjoins his place
of business on High street and he
will at once proceed to drain the
block and prepare the hand for the
erection of several cottages. These
new buildings will be used in con
nection with the hotel and they
will be most attractive.
The block of land, which runs
right through to Vineyard street,
will have plenty of room for the
cottages, and also for a tennis
court which Mr.. Field intends to
construct for the use of his guests.
The addition to Wailuku will be
a noticeable one and the rush of
tourists that is expected i'll the near
future will we'll be catered for.
The deal was made possible through
the Wailuku Sugar Company's
liberalitY regarding the rental. The
company owns the land and it was
leased in order that the town may
benefit from the erection of the
cottages. The rent is only nominal
and the company is content to let
it go at that.

TelephoneCos.
May Combine

That deal will be consummated
in the near future that will hand
the control of the local telephone
company to the Mutual Company,
is believed by many people. The
directors of the Maui company,
however, say that no such PROPOSE
ton has been settled yet. There
are many things to consider, and
the evident desire of the Mutual
company to control all the tele-
phonic and wireless service of the
group, has led to the story of the
proposed merger being bruited
about.
The Hilo telephone company has
been merged with the Mutual, and
the manager of the big island con-
ccrn was on Maui during the week
Mr.. Hummell, Of the Honolulu
company, was also on Maui. The
two experts looked over the field,
and it may be that they will return
before long and make a proposition
to the local company.
Maui wishes to be safeguarded
against any increase in telephone
rates-no matter what improve
ments may be installed. The auto
matte system is hinted at, but
everything is in the air at present.

"REBUKED!"

Monday of this week there was gathering in
Denver of the members of the Democratic State
Central Committee.
1t was made the occasion for skirmish be-
tween the progressive and reactionary elements of
the party and according press reports the pro-
gressives came second best In spite of the
TACT that the lines clearly drawn, and the
administration and Colorado's delegation in Wash
lngton had expressed preference in favor of
modern Democracy the Denver aggregation saw
chance to utilize their old machine and made the
most of its opportunity.
The fact that the Denver patriots led by
that veteran whose name is hateful to all honest
men of every party-Julius Aichele-succeeded in
endorsing Attorney Barnett for National Commit
teeman, will fool but few.
1t is interesting to witness such 'rebuke" to
Colorados representatives when engineered by
Special Interests who so keen for such action
as to extend transportation to county charmen.
SO rejoiced is the Republican press that it can
not refrain from gloating over the blunder and
expressing satisfaction with the triumph of the
substantial Democratic newspapers see fit to
pass the action of the majority of the committee in
silent contempt, ashamed to tell of the lure of
false lights the shore.
