A special meeting was called and
the draft Of letter to the company
was read. In it was paragraph
giving Mr.. Kennedy the right to re-

extent that it would be impossible
to pay the rate. Tullett spoke in
that meeting in favor of giving
the company that opportunity, but
the man who was really uppermost
in the beginning of both strikes
objected and pointed out that it
was within the power of Mr.. Ken
nedy to show them by the manipul-

was not at that very moment in a
position to pay. Another man, who
after the strike was given a position

Tragedy On
Mo|okai Ranch
Japanese Shoots Woman Throuqh
Head and Then Commits Sui
Cide-viCtim Still Alive.

All Molokai was Mortified to hear
ola brutal attempt to murder, and
a successful attempt to commit sui
eide, that happened on Thursday
morning last at the ranch of T. H.
Meyer. The would-be murderer
was a japanese named Sumida,
once of Wailuku, and the wounded
person is Mrs. Kei Fugi, japanese
woman. She is now in the Malu-
lani Hospital, suffering from a bull
let wound in her head. The shot
went through the woman's head,
from the left to the right and a lit
tie below the temple. The coroner's
jury returned a verdict of suicide in
the case of Sumida.
1t appears that early on Thursday
morning, Sumida went to the room
o! the woman and made improper
advances toward her. She repulsed
him and said she would tell her
husband when he returned home.
Then Sumida left the room for
few minutes, but returned soon
after, carrying a revolver. He
pointed the gun at the woman
and fired. The shot went wide
and the woman, picking up her
six-year old child that was in the
room, attempted to escape from the
house. The man followed her and,
when within a few feet of her, fired
the second shot. The bullet struck
the unfortunate woman on the left
side of the head and emerged from
the right side. She fell to the floor
and Sumida, thinking that he had
killed her, turned the gun and shot

Stabbiing In
lao Valley

On Monday last there was a
stabbing, or rather a cutting, affray
up lao Valley and it was just luck
that a Portuguese man named
Manuel Comes Vierra is not now
charged with murder instead of
assault with a weapon. The in
jured man is in hospital, suffering
from a long, deep cut in his
stomach, and his assailant is in Jail
awaiting trial.
According to the story of M
Faustino, the injured man, he and
Vierra met on Monday evening at
about half-past six o'clock. There
was some talk about the ownership
of some water in creek and, be-
fore long, there was a hot argument
going on. Vierra, who had a grass
hook, or knife, in his hand, sud
denly rushed at Faustino and slash
ed at his body. The hooked end
of the knife entered the side of
Faustino, and then Vierra is alleg-
ed to have drawn the weapon
across the stomach of the man.
The cut is a dangerous one and,
if it were a little deeper, nothing
could save the life of the injured
man. AS it is the wound has to
be watched closely in order to avoid
blood poisoning. Owing to the
fact that Faustino is a stout man,
the knife only cut through his fat
and never reached a vital spot.

Tomorrow morning between nine
and ten O'Clock the first aeroplane
exhibition on Maui is scheduled to
take place. The event is an epoch
marking one, and the big crowd
that is expected to be in attendance
will await with great interest the
moment when the airship is to
leave the ground. Auto reservations
have been made and everything is,
according to Tom Gum and man
ager Newman, ready for the big
flights tomorrow.
Tom Gum has done some fine
flying on the mainland and, al
though one of his show days at Lei
lehua was marred through the
breaking down of his propeller, he,
afterwards, went up alright. He,
at San Diego, some time ago, re-
mained in the air for over three
hours and, while high up, did some
wonderful stunts. Gum took the
prize for altitude also, and the pic
ture published today shows the
machine he did the trick work in.
To add to the excitement tomor-
row, Mrs. M. H. Newman has de-
clared her intention of going up in
the aeroplane. Mrs. Newman is
not scared of anything, and she
says that she is accustomed to the
hydro-aeroplane that Gum used at
Pearl Harbor, and that she reckons
she is nervy enough to tackle the
other craft. Mrs. Newman has re-
ceived lessons in the management
of the machinery of the aeroplane
and, barring high wind or some

was about the rottenest exhibition
OF baseball ever seen on the Wal
luku diamond. The Stars played
an awful game and, although one
or two of the team did fair work.
the rest of the bunch played like q
lot OF preparatory school kids. It
was an awful showing that the
Stars made, and everyone was glad
when the end OF the game came.
Pitcher Bal, of the Stars, has
never been seen to worse advantage.
He could do nothing, and the Ka.
huluis soaked him for eighteen hits.
1t was a sorry display and one that
made the Wailuku rooters wonder
what on earth was the matter.
The Stars Tailed up five errors
while the Kahuluis had none. The
kahuluis stole four bases and the
Stars did not pilfer one. Bal struck
out four men and Swan, who did
the flinging for the Kahulu!s, ac-
counted for eight.
Three men-Cummings, Carreira
and Anderson were injured during
the game. Cummings and Car
reira were hit by pitched balls.
and Anderson got knocked out
when he tried to make second on
one occasion. Andy" bumped
into Kaleo, and the latter's elbow
found the point"
There was a good sized crowd
present when the game started, and
forty or so autos lined up around
the field. Everybody expected a
close game, but there was nothing
like a game atall.

Maui B0WIers
Doing Well

Last Wednesday evening at Puu-
meme, the second Inter Island bowl
ing match was played off. Some
good figures were registered, and
Maui is well up, so far, in the tour
nament. Last week the Maui bunch
won two out of three games against
the next best scorers-Oahu--who
got S91, S37, 759 in three games as
compared with Maui's S94, S21,
S64.
On Wednesday last Maui made
2,450-a good healthy total and it
remains to be seen how the Kauai
and Oahu teams did, Ed. Deinert
was high this week with a total of
531. He was closely followed by
by Chillingworth who made 524.

Chinese Are
Fine Players
Touring Team Defeats AII.Maui
Twice in Easy Fashion
Good Work.

Hit 'em where they aint," is a
is a good old way to score in baseball (,
but what are you going to do whena
clever Chinese player is always
waiting where the ball is trying to
reach the earth? And, even if the
ball does seem to be going abouthalf-
a.mile from where a player is stand
ing, in some way, the young demon
gets under the ball and makes a
hair-raising catch. Well, that was
about what happened on Thursday
last, when the Hawaiian Chinese
team of ball tossers beat the All
Maui bunch by a score of s to 2.
On the previous day the Chinese
had handed out a 6 to l package on
the Kahului ground.
The Chinese players have inn
proved wonderfully, and it was
hard for the men who knew the kids
when they were playing around
Honolulu a couple of years ago, to
realize that this bunch was the
same old lot of boys. The lads play
like professionals and they act like
them also. Not a point is lost, and
the way the signals are sent out
savors of the "big league" crowd.
Maui should have done better
than she did, but some bonehead
plays killed any chance the local
boyshad. Akin Robinson pitched
good ball ana surprised his most
ardent adm irers by the way he
acted in the box. Alvin had never

through his throat, and the bullet
was afterwards found lodged in the
top of his skull.
Sumida will be remembered by
many people as he used to work in
one of the Wailuku stables. He
had been on Molokai for some time
past, and was not thought to be a
violent man.

Ferguson Is
In LiIneIight
Contempt Of Court Proceedings Will
Go to Jury Trial-Boy Tells OF
Wedding.

L. w. ferguson SSSlllS W DS OllS
of the kind of men who cannot
keep out of court once the ice is
broken. Ferguson is always i'll
trouble of some sort and, when
not engaged in replying to charges
of child.stealing or some such
stunt he is being worried as to
how he committed an alleged con-
tempt of court act.
Ferguson had the child stealing
case nolle pressed last week, but
the contempt of court charge is
still hanging over him. Last Mon
day the man appeared in court and
his attorney, Eugene Murphy,
claimed that as Judge Kingsbury
was not acting as Juvenile Court
when Fergusons alleged offense
was committed, the court had no
jurisdiction.
When Judge Kingsbury called
Thomas Dewey Ferguson, son OF
T. w. Ferguson, to the witness
stand, Attorney Murphy objected
very much. He declared that as
the boy was a co-defendent, with
his father, i'll the contempt pro-
ceedings, the lad should not be
asked to testify.
Judge Kingsbury saw the force
of this objection, and he at once
said that the charge against the
boy would be dropped, and that the
boy should tell the court what hap
pened on the day that Ferguson,
senior, is alleged to have entlced
the Porto Rican girl, Figuera,
from the home of Miss Ida Crick-
ard, where the dependent child was
domiciled as a ward of the court.
Ferguson, junior, told the story
of how he had waited III a cane
field for the girl to meet him. He
denied that his father had told him
to meet the girl, He told of the
tramp across the sandhills to Ka-
hului, and of the auto ride to Ma
kawao, where a native minister
refused to marry the young couple.
He then related how the party
went to Paia and there found a
minister who married them. Fer
guson, senior, was with the boy
and girl all the time, according to
the lads evidence.
The story of how the first few
hours of the honeymoon were dis
turbed by the police, was also told
by the boy. He also spoke of a
telephone message that was sent to
Miss Crickard to inform her of the
marriage of Thomas Dewey Fergu-
son to Rose Figuera. That was
all the boy would admit, although
pressed hard as to whether he had
told the judge, in chambers, that
Ferguson senior had sent him to
meet the girl in the cane field.
Miss Crickard, on oath, stated
that she saw Ferguson senior out
side her house on the day in which
the girl absconded. She swore
that she saw Rose talking to old
Ferguson.
Judge Kingsbury intimated to
Attorney Murphy that he could
demand a jury trial if he felt that
way. Murphy did, and the case
will be tried before a special jury
some time next week.
