Will Form
Sports ASS

On Monday evening next there
will be a meeting in the Wailuku
gymnasium, and the object will be
to form an association that will
take care of and foster clean sports
of all kinds. Something of the sort
has been needed here for a long
time past, and the men who are in
charge of the movement will try to
attract every man who takes all in
terest in any kind of sport.
There are many branches of
sport neglected in Wailuku, and
the object of the new association
will be to get things going in pro-
per style.
Billiards, bowling, tennis, trap
shooting, quoits, distance running
and amateur boXingwill come within
the control of the new body. There
are, of course, other sports that will
also be catered for. The association
promises to be a real live one, and
it will do lot of good for Maui.

More Lights
For Streets

Wailuku will be better lighted
in future-in fact the change be-
gan last Thursday evening. There
was a rather stormy meeting be
tween Manager Bond, of the cleo
trio company, and the board of
supervisors OH the day mentioned,
and the result is that the streets of
Wailuku are to be lighted from
the time darkness sets in till day
light next morning. If there
should be bright moonlight the
lights will not be turned on. There
will be an extra charge for the
lights but it will be possible to
walk down the streets without
taking a chance of falling over a
COW or some other animal.
The new scheme is to be i'll force
for one month. Then the cost of
the extra lights is to be made up,
and the county will know where it
stands.
The contract existing between
the county all the electric light
company is not thought to be salts
factory. The contract is being
lived up to to the letter and that
is the cause of the trouble. When
the contract was signed, the county
fathers did not take into consider
alton the fact that the moon always
sets behind the West Maui noun
tains an hour or so before it would
set on a level plain. The lights of
the town are therefore turned on
some time after the whole place is
in darkness. The almanac says
that the moon sets at a certain
hour, and that is what controls the
turning on and off of the lights.
The electric company is within its
rights, but the town gets it i'll the
neck, say the supervisors.
1t is said that the supervisors
were so anxious to get the electric
lights for the streets of Wailuku,
that they did not go into details
regarding the contract for lights.
1t was felt that the town needed
the system, and that if the county
did not agree to the proposed con-
tract there would be no electric
plant in Wailuku.

Man Injured
In Runaway

On Tuesday afternoon last there
was Il runaway that caused much
excitement in Wailuku. John
Abreu, who was driving the team,
was thrown to the ground from his
seat on the wagon, and received
painful injuries. He was treated
by the doctor and is feeling better
now.
The runaway started on Main
street and the horses soon got going
at top speed. The animals were
scared at the way the wagon crowd
ed on their heels, and they dashed
madly down the hill.
The driver tried his best TO halt
the animals but they only went
faster When opposite the Maui
Shinbun office, the drivers seat
slipped and Abreu was thrown off
on his head The horses kept going
till they reached the Wailuku depot
gates. There one horse bore over
to the right and, in an instant the
pair were thrown down on their
sides. This frightened the horses
more, and they kicked the harness
off and bolted a-fresh, but up hill,
this time,
Two mounted police officers were
doing their best to stop the horses
and, finally, the animals were
caught. In the meantime Abreu
had been picked up and was taken
care of till his son arrived with his
automobile and removed the old
man to his home and then to the
hospital.

Hawaii Wins
Score, lis

Last Wednesday the All. Hawaii
polo team defeated the Coronado
team by "A score of II to 3. That is
going some and indicates that our
men have found their stride al
ready. The team should give good
account of itself right through the
big tournament.
Some of the stories in the main
land papers, about the All Hawaii
players were very funny. Each re-
preventative of Hawaii was declared
to bc a fcudal lord, and to have
private polo ground of his own.
The coast papers also went on to
say they wondcaed what would hap
pen to the pampered lords" when
they went up against the hard rid
ing, hard living bunch of Califor-
mans and Canadians. Well, those
innocent cub reporters know now
what happened. The men from
Hawaii probably spend more time
in the saddle-all the year round
than do the hard riding" Califor-
mans and Canucks.

Sheriff Has
Many Curios

Sheriff Crowell has collected a
most wonderful and weird lot of
weapons from the Filipino colony
of Maui. Knives, daggers, lancets
and even short swords have been
gathered in. Some of the daggers
are designed in devilish fashion.
A dozen or so are about as long as
a pocket knife blade, and they are
filed down to the thickness of a
good size needle. The daggers are
provided with hook that can be
attached to the sleeve of the own
er's coat. The weapon can be
ralmed" easily and then drawn
up into the sleeve after being put
to use in some gentle" fashion.
The sheriff is after the burglars
who have been going the rounds of
Maui. At the same time, the head
of the police, is taking away all
the deadly weapons he can find in
the possession of the little brown
brother"
A number of Filipinos are being
closely watched and it is expected
that arrests will soon be made.

Tourists Plans
Completed

Manager Field, of the Maui Hotel
Company, Ltd, returned from
Honolulu last Wednesday. He re-
ports very favorahly un the proposed
Maui excursions, and he states that
the e"'' big party will come to
Mdui on March l. That party will
he personally conducted over the
new route from Lahaina, and will
take the Haicakala trip as well.
While in Honolulu, Mr. Field
found that a party of sixteen was
just ON the point of leaving for
Maui and Haleakala. Those partir
cular tourists had to he sidetracked
as far as the trip up the big mount
ain is concerned. Arrangements ds
to horses and other details still
remain to he completed, and it was
thought better to put off the excur-
sion till the guides, horses and
vehicles had all been prepared for.
The Irter-Island Steamship Com
pany and the Promotion Committee
are doing all in their power to boost
the beautiful excursions of Maui.
The Honolulu newspapers are also
working on the proposition, and the
amount of space that they will give
to writeups is only limited by the
ability of writers to supply the dope,
Many Honolulu old-timers are
deeply interested in the new series
of Maui excursions, and they have
declared that they will, in the near
future, take advantage of the chance
to see that part of Maui that has,
in the past, been an unknown land
to them.
1t is felt that the stream of tourists
that constantly flows into Honolulu,
and from there on to the Volcano,
will be induced to make its way to
Maui and THE House of the Sun. !"
Mr.. Field made all arrangements
regarding coupon tickets and the
transportation of tourists, and he de
clares that there will soon he a big
flow of visitors to Maui. The whole
district is expected to benefit from
the visits, and there should be a full
house at the Maui Hotel for months
at a stretch.

Schmidt Is
Committed

Lloyd Schmidt was, at the Wal
luku District Court, committed to
investigation by the Grand Jury,
OH Wednesday last. The defend
ant is charged with a serious
offense, alleged to have been COM
mitted on November 10 last.
The defendant was defended by
Attorney James l.. Coke, and the
lawyer contented himself, after all
the evidence was in, by comment
ing on the discrepancies i'll the
evidence of the witnesses for the
prosecution. He prefers to make
his fight later on, if the accused is
indicted by the Grand Jury.
The evidence in the case was
sensational, and went to show that
the principal witness in the matter,
was, on her own word, freely go
ing astray with many men. Judge
Mckay set the bail of Schmidt at
$500, which sum was quickly
forthcoming.

Road Matters
Are Discussed

Chairman Pogue, of the legislative
committee of the Maui Chamber of
Commerce, turned in his report ON
the work done by the committee,
to the general meeting last Tn rs
day.
Several matter had been attended
to, but there is still lot of work to
be done. With reference to the pro-
position to ask the legislature to
grant a special loan to construct
roads to the Haiku homesteads, it
was thought that it would not be
reasonable to do so, as every county
in the group would try for tina same
thing for their homesteaders.
w. o. Aiken thought that the
matter might be managed and money
borrowed from the banks for the pur-
poses of road building. The money
cJuld be paid back when the home
steaders paid for their lots. The
matter was discussed for a short
time, and then the decision was
arrived at to put the whole affair
up to the committee.

AmateurShOW
Was Excellent

Last Wednesday night there was
a fine show at the Kahului Lyceum,
and the amateurs who took part III
the entertainment did excellent
work. Some of the turns were we'll
worthy of the professional stage.
There was a big crowd present and
the Kahului Tennis Club should
benefit lot from their percentage
of the house. "
Mrs. Jones was the star of the
evening, and her singing was a
treat to the audience. Billy"
Lougher's turn was a masterpiece,
and the crowd enjoyed his famous
dance. Wren Wescoat was at his
best in his recitation and he brought
down the house.
Mr.. David Rattray-he of the
silver voice-rendered a couple of
songs in his well-known artistic
manner. Miss Hoffman was at the
piano all the evening and her work
was in splendid harmony with that
of the vocalists. Some fine moving
pictures were shown during the
evening.

Old Officers
AreRe=eleCted

At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, held on Thursday last,
the annual election of officers was
proceeded with. President F: F.
Baldwin being away on the main
land, the chair was taken by Vice
President r. A. Wadsworth.
The first business was the election
of IL president for the year. Three
names were put in nomination-F
f. Baldwin. Il. A. Wadsworth and
II. w. Rice. The first named won,
and the election was then made
unanimous on the motion of Judge
Kingsbury. There would have been
no contest at all, except for the fact
that it was known that Mr.. Baldwin
did not wish to take another term
as president. The members, how
evel, decided that he should take
Office again and so voted according
ly.
All the other old officers officers
were elected without opposition, and
they will hold Office till November
next. There was a good gathering
of the members of the Chamber,
and much interest was taken in the
proceedings.
The election of officers should
have taken place last November but

Man Is Blown
Into Pieces

There was terrible accident up
on the mountain side, where the
extension of the Kula pipe line is
being put in, last Saturday. Ono
japanese was blown to pieces, and
another man was very seriously in
jured. The explosion of some Giant
powder that was left in a drilled
hole, was the cause of the tragedy.
1t appears that the men were
working on some rock which they
had to blast away. AS usual, holes
were drilled in the rock, and then
charges of dynamite were exploded
by electric wires. One of the
charges failed to go off, and the
men returned to see what was the
matter. They thought that the
charge had gone out, that is that the
fuse had failed to connect with the
powder.
While the men were working
over the hole and picking at tie
filling in order to withdraw the
charge. the whole thing went off
and the two men We're thrown
several yards. 1t was at once seen
that the man who had been stand

was killed. He was terribly shat
tered and his body was torn to bits.
His companion was badly smashed
and it is feared that he has sustain
ed internal injuries.
The dead man was named Tanaka
and his companion Matsugaraha.
Both the men were known as skill
ed powder men, and it is supposed
that the accident was one of the
kind that will happen from time to
time on the best conducted jobs.
There were other men working
close to the place where the accident
happened, and they at once render

Six Houses
Are Robbed

Another burglary is to be report
ed, and this time the robbery enters
the wholesale" line. No less than
six houses at Camp Five, Puunene,
were entered and money, in all
kinds of small sums, was taken from
each place. In all, the burglars
obtained S55 and the police, while
holding strong suspicious, have not
yet closed the net on the robbers.
The burglary, or series of burg
laries, was a brazen affair, and the
thieves went through all five houses
while the occupants were asleep in
their beds
The burglars seem to have worked
in conjunction, and the theory is
that each robber took house to go
through, and that the robberies
were all committed at the same
time, by individual members of the
gang.
In one house sum of S25 was
found on a table; in another money
amounting to $40 was found by the
thieves. In the other three houses
the amounts stolen varied from
$3.50 TO slightly larger sums.
The burglars, however, in one
house, overlooked a sum of $500 in
gold. This money was hidden in a
box, and the thieves never went
near it. All the money that was
stolen was on tables or bureaus.
Watches, rings and other iewelry
were not touched.
