Bad Men Are Taken by Hano

Deputy Sheriff Hano of the Ka-
waihau District made an arrest of
a Chinaman last Monday who on
being irterrogated by the police
confessed to number of burgla-
ries, at the same time duplicating
another of his country man as an
,accomplice. Following n str Il c.
tions from the confessor, the
police repaired to a shack where
articles of numerous kind and va
lues were found.
For some time the people OF the
district have been the victims OF
petty thievery and it is believed
that those arrested are a part if not
the entire gang responsible tor
these robberies. Many articles
have been identified by and return
de to their former owners. Sheriff
Rice has recognized a former jail
bird in one of the men. who, ac-
cording to the Sheriff, left Kauai
several years ago, following the
completion of Jail sentence for
robbery committed here.

Has a Sure Thing, He Says

H. S. Simpson, one of Kapaa' S
teachers, is OH the road to luxury
if he is successful in securing a
patent on a cock-roach destroyer
which, his fertile brain has evolved.
The hopes-to-be inventor says
that for months he had been an
noyed by these pests, and had tried
all kinds of poisons to little or no
effect-except to kill off few
reaches and lose several fine chick
ems that found and ate the poison
ed reaches. One night while try
ing to think of some scheme to get
rid of them, he hit upon the plan
of the trap which he has in opera
ton. His roach trap is not dan
gerous, like poison, is cleanly,
and not costly to make or operate.
1t also catches large and small
The editor has seen quart of
these pests that the inventor said
had been caught in the trap in one
night.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Through the generosity of Rev.
and Mrs. Hans Isenberg and Hon.
Geo. n. Wilcox, the children of
Lihue will once more celebrate the
glorious Fourth in a most delight
ful manner with games prizes and
refreshments of the kind most lik-
ed by children. One little Portu-

good work has been going on for
many years and if the generous

worry. Nor do they, for Girvin is
a good leader and his men are good
followers.
AS to the Kauai picked team un-
der Sanborn, there is little doubt
that team can be gotten together
which will put the visitors to route
by big odds. The lineup of the
All Students will be as follows:
Baldwin c; Hitchcock p; H .
Fassoth, 1st; Lowell End; Ahana SIS;
Wishard, 3rd; Makanani, If; Ia

In the afternoon game, the visit
ing team will make but a slight
change in the lineup, simply
subling Baldwin W i t h Inman
The Koloa team which plays the
morning game is to be composed
of its regular members, while the
picked team lineup will be ap-
proximately as follows:
John Akana, If; T. Pacheco, Sd,
Bill Kerr, IS; Girvin, 1st; Makana-
nj, End; Sam Kai, p; J. Fernandes,

Considerable comment is heard
concerning the McBryde teams re
fusal to play the Student, nine,
since the first series championship
went to them, thus the honor of
defending Kauai resting in their
hands. However, Koloa can be
depended on to deliver the goods
which marks the team as possessed
of the right spirit even though it
doesn't hold any championship
honors. The games, which bid
fair to be by big odds the best ever
seen on the Garden Island, will be
umpired by genial Dick Oliver,
which signifies that under all cir
cumstances, everybody will get a
square deal. =

An Enjoyable Afternoon Party

A very pleasant afternoon was
spent by some of the Lihue ladies
at the home of Mrs. K. c. Hopper
last Friday afternoon. The ladies
brought their sewing and the af-
ternoon soon slipped away. The
guest of honor was the very young
Miss Dean who easily proved the
center of attraction and admiration.
Refreshments were. served in the
dining room where the table pre-
sented very pretty picture. the

and in it, while asparagus ferns at
one corner looked as tho they were

The Kapaa Homestead School

With the influx of homesteaders
in Kapaa comes the desire for a
school house. 1t is said that there
are some forty odd children ready
for enrolment at the present time,
and that with the coming of the
new people a necessity for school
will be apparent. A good, central
location should be selected and a
two-roomed building provided at
the earliest possible time. The
'deestrict' school in every instance
is the forerunner of progress and
if the Kapaa citizens are beginning
to feel the necessity of such, they
should be hearkened unto.

Inman and Hitchcock as twirlers

difficult to beat.
Inman has the reputation OF be-

Holy Ghost Visits Hanamaulu

Among the many Holy Ghost
feasts that have been celebrated on
Kauai this year, that at Hanamau-
lu last Saturday night and Sunday
was not by any means the least in
Importance. Mr.. Gracia was the
man at the helm and deserves a
great deal of credit for the success
of the occasion. Among artistic
decorations were dozen or more
ribbon bedecked arches, each side
from which floated flags of various
hues. Pretty Japanese lanterns
interspersed with ordinary lanterns
furnished the illumination which
flooded the grounds in a perfect
blaze of splendor. A spacious pa
wilton was arranged for lovers of
the terpischorean fantastic. The
platform nesting meath an artis-
tic, artificial arbor was surrounded
with benches upon which appeared
intermittant borders of hansome-
ly gowned femininity and digni-
fled escorts.
An elaborate booth wherein was
displayed attractive articles, all
numbered to correspond with tick
cts which were on sale throughout
the grounds, did a rushing bust
ness. Then, too, the Lihue band
PLAYED, as did the bands orches-
ira, while dancers danced and the
juvenile element filled ir the time
by working the time-honored FIRE
cracker stunt with numerous other
occupations to suit the occasion.

Homesteaders Are Now Happy

Twenty-nine of the Kapaa flat
homesteaders were made happy
last week by the receipt of the pat
en~for their lands. The members
of the settlement association who
recently took homesteads on the
mauka lands, have begun p.owing
their lands. The experiences they
are having with various plows and
other implements pertaining to the
cultivation of new lands will likely
be a source of much value to those
who enter later on, as it is begin

which is practically certain to be held
in 1915. Plans already are being laid
for the campaign that will be con-

is announced that this campaign, which
practically is in progress now, will be
continued until the whole thing is
over.
The campaign Will be run under the
leadership of the Anti-Saloon League,
and officials and leaders in that or
ganization declare that they do not in
tend to allow any man in Indiana to
GO uniformed as to just what the is-
sue is. They promise that the prohibit
ton issue will overshadow everything
else and that the whole campaign will
simmer down to that one proposition.
During the last week thousands of
prohibitionists and temperance people
swarmed in Washington make ad-
monstratfon in favor of the passage of
"a resolution introduced by Congress
man Hobson. for a prohibition amend
ment to the United States constitution.
This army was led by E. s. Shumaker,
state superintendent of the Indiana
Anti-Saloon League. Shumaker is one
of the Invest wires in the temperance
movement in this country. and he has
caused the liquor people of this state
more sleepless nights than any other
man.
Shumaker says that the campaign
for a prohibition provision in the In
diana constitution will be the most
vigorous ever conducted in the state
He says that every man in Indiana will
be compelled to take stand one way
or the other on the proposition. There
will be no middle ground. Those who
are not in favor of the prohibition pro-
vision will be regarded as being
against 1t. The Anti-Saloon League,
he says, does not intend to sidestep or
shift the issue and the fight. There

There does not seem to be any doubt
that a majority of the voters next year
will favor the holding of a constitu-
tional convention. All parties have de-
clared in favor of the plan. Every
body recognizes the necessity for

With the convention almost a GER

be the hottest part of the entire cam
paign. Political party lines will be
wiped out. 1t will not be a political
party matter. The line will be drawn
between the temperance people and the
LIQUOR interests of the state, and when
ever a line is drawn like that 1t means
some fight.
IT is known, too. that the liquor peo-
pie are making their own plans for
this campaign. 1t means life death
