men were good girls when they met

that the desired information was
secured and once in hand the dogs
OF war were loosened and the men
are now looking for attorneys TO take
their cases. These are not the only
fellows in town who knowingly, or
thoughtlessly, get young women
away from their homes for immoral
purposes. An expose in the Adver-
tiser of the Kukui street dance hall
was the climax, really, to several
cases that had been on the tapis for
some time. The Advertisers story
brought before the public a condi-
tion that only those on the inside,
and the chauffeurs, knew about.
Now that the public has been let in
on the game and one of the young
women has made clean breast of
the affair, as she knew it, the law
has stepped in and with the aid of

STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

On Sunday last the .ual double
header was played off on the Wal
luku diamond, and the crowd of
fans that rolled up to watch the
play, saw one close contest, and
one runaway affair that was not
worth much, except as an exhibi-
ton of how many runs can be made
when a team gets going properly in
a run getting streak.
The Stars were not on the sche-
dule lasaSunday and they had a day
of for a change They will play the
Ldhaina boys tomorrow and the
game should be a good one.
In the first game last Sunday the
Puunenes got going in the initial in
nlng and they piled up couple of
runs first rattle out of the box. They
followed this up with one in the
second, two in the third, one in the
fourth, one in the fifth and, finally
one i'll the eighth. The Lahainas
were long way behind until the
last half of the ninth when thew

Jack Grace
Settles Here

Jack Grace, well known all over
the civilized world as a boxer and
instructor of boxing, is settled in
Wailuku. 1t seems strange to hear
but, nevertheless is true. Grace
has battled around for many years,
and he has always borne a good re-
putation. That he should select the
town OF Wailuku TO settle in, is no
surprise 10 those who know the
place and the people in it.
Grace is installed at the Wailuku
Gymnasium where he will teach the
aspiring amateur show to put up their
mitts. The veteran boxer is well
qualified to do that kind of work
and, as he has always taken care of
himself, he is ready also TO go up
against any pugilst who thinks he
can get away with the goat Of the
much travelled one. On July 3
there will be a boxing show in Wal
luku, and it may be that Jack Grace
will then be seen in action. There
have been several try-outs Of local
talent, aud some matches will be
made within a few days from now.
Young Jack Johnson"-one
would think a pug would change
that moniker, is expected in town
this week. lie is hooking for gore
and may find it in this tranquil
village.

High School
For Maui

That the High School for Maui
will soon be an accomplished fact, is
certain, and that the institution will
be built either at Paia or Hamakua-
poke is also sure. The money for
the construction of the school will
come from the county Golfers and
the teachers will be provided by the
territory,
Yesterday afternoon the county
fathers took trip up to Paia and
Hamakuapoko, in order to look
over a couple of proposed sites that
may be secured for the new school.
The Hamakuapoko site contains
more land than the Paia location,
but number of people think that
Paia is more central for an educa-
tional institution.
The solons visited both sites and
they are expected to come to a de-
cision about the matter some time
before the regular meeting adjonrns.
The proposition of having a High
School on Maui has been brought
up many times in the past, and the
idea has been looked upon with
favor by many people. The subject
has been spoken of time after time,
and now the result of the agitation
is beginning to be seen.
The new school will be a seven
room one and will be an up-to-date
structure. In every way it will be
built to suit the climate and the
students should be very comfortable.
1t is thought that the school will at
tract large number of scholars who
will be able to take higher course
without the trouble Of going to
Honolulu or even further abroad.

Murder And
Suicide c
Husband Shoots Wife and Then
Kills HimseIf-Haiku Scene of
Tragedy.

Murder and suicide once more on
Maui. This time it happened or
the Haiku heights and the dead are
Smith Kapaa and his wife, Maggie.
A two-year old child is left an or
phan through the insane act of its
father. The tragedy took place on
Wednesday morning, and the
shooting was done at the home of
+. c. Miller, where the unfortu-
nate victim of her husbands jea-
lousy was employed as a servant.
The horrible affair is said to have
been brought about by jealousy and
the deed seems to have been pre-
meditated. The shooting was most
sensational and there were several
witnesses to the affair.
From the story gathered by the
Sheriff, it seems that OH Tuesday
evening last police officer Souza
met Smith Kapaa on the Haiku
road. The officer asked the man
where he was going, and the reply
was that he intended visiting his
wife and asking her to return to
his home at>Paia. Souza, knowing
that there had been trouble between
the pair, and that they were living
apart, suggested to Kapaa that he
return to Paia and not go near his
wife at the Miller's place.
Kapaa got into the auto that the
officer was using and went down
the road a couple of miles. Then
he insisted on getting out of the
machine and returning in the
direction of Haiku. That was the
last Souza saw of the man till his
dead body was found next morn
ing,
From the story of the Millers it
seems that at about eight o'clock
OH Wednesday morning, Kapaa
knocked on the door of the Haiku
home. Mrs. Miller answered the
knock and, having been requested |
by Mrs. Kapaa to tell the husband
that she did not wish to see him,
did so. Kapaa beg that he be al
lowed to see his wife, as he wanted |
her to return to his own home.
Mrs. Kapaa then saw the man and
they spoke for few minutes, Then
Mrs. Kapaa went into a bedroom
to attend to a sick person who was

Enjoyable
Afternoon

There was most enjoyable after
noon at the home of Mrs. II. B.
Penhallow last Saturday afternoon
A large number of guests attended
and there was a doll dressing con
test that caused much fun and
laughter. Each guest was provided
with an empty bottle, a clay pipe,
and some 'crinkley" paper. The
job was to make something resem-
bling a doll out of the material
provided.
Some of the efforts were clever
and one lady who turned the bowl
of the pipe around, thus making a
face that closely resembled a pig
showed originality. Other dolls
were startling in their resemblance
to all sorts and conditions of men,
women and children.
Miss Short took first prize for
the most wonderful creation, and
Miss Merriman also got a trophy
for an original idea. There were
over fifty ladies present and they,
one and all, enjoyed the afternoon
and the delicious refreshments that
were handed around.

Fire Alarm
In Theater

There was an alarm of fire at the
Wailuku Orpheum one night last
week and, for time, it looked as
if the audience would become panic
stricken. The careless handling OF
a cigarette by a one-time operator
started film blazing and then the
trouble began.
AS soon as the blaze was seen by
the people in the theater the excite
ment started and most people
jumped to their feet and rushed to-
ward the doors. Some cool headed
ones tried to calm the heightened
women and children and avoid a
panic. The blazing film made a
great glow and the cracking noise
did not add to the JOY of the occa-
sion.
1t did not take long 10 put the
fire out, but while the scare lasted
there were many exciting incidents.
Some women crowded their way
toward the door, and children were
crying with fear. Nodamage, except
to the film, was done, and the show
was resumed as soon as the fire was
put out.

 The original estimate of 50 hours debate, made by the house leaders, will be cut down considerably, two days having passed without night ses- sions. Long sessions were planned for today, however.
 Representative J. Hampton Moore for the Republicans, and Representa- tive A, Mitchell Palmer for the Demo crats, were leaders in the debate.
 Representative Moore introduced a novelty and for the first time, in the history of Congress, as far as is known, speech on~the tariff was de- livered by the reading of questions from the speakers rostrum and the delivery of replies from the floor

MINE DEATH LIST GROWS
LATEST ESTIMATE IS THAT l2o WERE KILLED BY EXPLOSION
Safety Lamps Were But Re- gently Discarded.

Finleyville, Pa, April 26.-NVith company officials refusing to give out any information and fire reported broken out in the Cincinnati mine, which possibly contains entombed miners who are alive, the death list from Wednesdays explosion still was estimated around 100, many placing it as high as 120.
 Work of rescue and ventilation lro- eressed more slowly as rescu, IS pushed farther into the mine and it was said it probably would be a week before all parts of the old mine are reached.
 Among the griefstricken watchers fear grew that the second fire report ed in the mine would make it impos- sible to recover the bodies of many of the dead
 It was charged that, while the mine was known to be gaseous, an order re- quiring the use of safety lamps in certain portions of the mine was re scinded only last Monday.
 Coroner James Heffron has empan- eled jury to ascertain the cause of the explosion and state mine inspec- tors also will report.
 The refusal of the company to give out information has caused much crit. icism. Following its attitude members of stricken families charge negligence

Corporations Unsafe Because of Un. certainty of Statute, Says Sena-

 The consequence of judicial legis- lation is that no man or corporation can safely proceed on any line of ac- tion because of the uncertainty of the statute, coupled with the power of con struction or change, which may make an act criminal, and, therefore pun. ishable in one instance and harmless in another"

MANY CITIZENS GATHER I'M CON-

DISCUSS Federal BUILDING

INsTRUcTs ITS COMMITTEE TO
CONTINUE TO work WITH
COLLEAGUES.

, At meeting Of the citizens herd
last night in the rooms Of the Las
Vegas Commercial club it was de-
cided that the committee fntrusted
with the task Of providing a site for
the federal building be empowered
to continue its operations. This com
mittee is composed OF six members
from the East side and six from the
West side. 1t had charge Of the pre-
liminary work Of securing options
upon the sites under consideration
and was instrumental in causing the
people of the East srde ana the West
side to agree upon a location for the
new postoffice.
Some difference of opinion has
arisen regarding the site because of
the desire of some citizens that
Tenth street be extended straight
through to Main avenue from the
point on Douglas where it now leaves
off To do this would necessitate
the purchase Of the Presbyterian
church propert others favor the
purchase of a site, the west line of
which would be the property line of
the Presbyterian church. To run the
street straight through would entail
an additional expense Of from $4,000
to $4,000 it was suggested this
money be obtained through bond
issue. but Judge Leahy explained to
the meeting that such a procedure
would delay the erection Of the post
office for considerably over a year,
owing to the fact that the election for
the voting OF bonds could not be held
until the time of the election for
councilmen a year from next month.
Mayor Taupert, who was present
said the city would be glad to accept

through on the west boundary of the
