Fined For
Thieving

7. Uno, formerly all employee of
the Maui Shinbun Publishing Com
pany, was found guilty, in the
District Court yesterday, of en-
bezzlement, and was fined $50 by
Judge Mckay. There are also
charges of embezzlement against
the former manager of the concern,
and decision will be given today
in the matter
The new directors of the Maui
Shinbun Company are determined
to get to the bottom of the alleged
wholesale embezzlement that is
said to have been going on for the
past year, and there is talk of pro-
ceedings been taken against some
of the higher up"
In the case in question, receipts
for various amounts paid to the
company, were produced, but no
trace of the meney ever being Gre
dited to the accounts intended, can
be found.

Will Play Polo
August 18

On August 18, the Maui polo
players will start the invasion of
Oahu and, judging from the form
shown by the players and ponies,
the Valley Islanders should give a
good account of themselves.
The annual polo tournament this
year should be even move inter
esting than any of the past. Al
though Kauai is out of the tourna-
ment, the Oahu, the Cavalry and
Maui fours, will fight it out on
beautiful Moanalua. The feature
of the series will, to most people,
be the appearance of the All-Ha-
waii team on the polo field. The
four that did such magnificent
work on the mainland fields will
tackle the best that the rest of Ha-
waii can put on horseback. This
great match will be played on
Tuesday, August 20, and the
Moanalua ground should be taxed
to its limit to accommodate the
thousands of people who will want
to be present.
Charlie Rice, of Kauai, has sent
three ponies to Oahu and the mini
ature mounts will be used by the
Rest" when they go up against
All-Hawaii. There is a probability
that Maui's second polo team will
not go to Honolulu. This is to be
regretted, as it was thought that
the seconds would show up we'll in
the matches that were to be ar
ranged for them.

hundred feet in length, a derrick
to handle the bags of taro and a
little money to start the industry
going properly. AT present there
is small quantity of taro growing
at Wailau, but nothing like what
might be raised there.
There is plenty of water and the
land is ideal for taro raising. The
stuff grown there is in a class by
its self, and the whole seventy
acres could be planted. All that
is needed is the road and the der
rick. The Maui supervisors will
take run over to Molokai next
Wednesday, and will look over the
location of the proposed road. There
is no doubt that the road will be
built, and that a derrick will be
obtained from somewhere or an
other.

Maui Tapa
For Cover
Hawaiian Mid-Pacific Magazine Will
Be Typical OF Islands "A, H.
Ford Is Boosting.

Alexander Hume Ford has been
securing the byways and back val
leys of Maui, seeking old Hawaiians
who still make tapa. He has Sc
cured enough of the native paper
cloth to bind all the numbers of
special Hawaiian edition Of the
Mid-Pacific Magazine, that is to be
issued this fall.
/ wonder how many people
realize" said Mr.. Ford yesterday,
that in some of the Maui valleys
are the only tapa beaters in the
islands, in fact until few weeks
ago | supposed it was entirely q
lost art. The Hawaiian edition
will come out in the fall, more than
200 page pictures of Hawaiian
views bound in Maui tapa. The
magazine will pay more attention
to Maui in the future, in fact begin
ming with the January number
there will be an illustrated article
on Maui in each issue for 1914.
There is much to be seen on
Maui, and when all the interests
get together and work together for
each other, there will be some well
patronized excursions to Maui.
l have made a trip practically
around the island, and one article
that | shall write myself, will be on
the feasibility of these trips. You
can leave Kahului one morning,
sleep at Hama that night, visit
Kipahulu the next morning and re-
turn to Kahului that afternoon,
going and coming, viewing a pano-
rama of coast scenery that is unsur-
passed anywhere. There is no such
opportunity for such an excursion
halfway around Oahu, and this
Maui trip is worth coming from
Honolulu to take.
In a little while the ditch trail
and the Haleakala trips are going
to adjust themselves to the purses
OF the tourist and there will be

Much Water
Runs AWAY

That n reservoir should be con-
structed at once at Olinda, is the
opinion of Chairman Kalama, Of
the Board of Supervisors. Kalama
has been watching the waterhead
at Waiakamoi closely and he de-
clares that, last month, no less than
five million gallons of water went
to waste.
The reservoir at Waiakamoi was
full to overhowing on four days
during July and, although the pipe
line was also full to the limit, a
million gallons per day went over
the reservoir and into the gulch be-
low. If a reservoir existed at Olin-
da, the surplus water could be saved
and the waste would be prevented.
The wet weather in the mountains
filled the streams that feed the re-
SerVOlf, ana tnere were millions OF
gallons to spare.
Chairman Kalama said, yester-
day, that the Kula pipeline is in
good condition now, and that the
force of men that is employed can
easily keep the line in repair. The
men are also burying the pipe, and
at the present time nearly two miles
of pipe is underground. The old
trouble of breaks is now obviated
through the manner in which the
water supply is regulated at the
waterheads. There have been no
breaks for some time and the line
is working very satisfactorily.

Plant TarO
At WaiIau

That the Molokai Settlement will
not go short of taro, is the deter
mination of Superintendent J. D.
McVeigh, and he has plans that, if
carried out, will not only insure a
steady supply of the root for Molo-
kai, but will, eventually, allow of
taro being shipped from Molokai
to Maui.
Over at Wailau, Molokai, is a
seventy-acre tract of magnificent
taro land that could easily be
put under cultivation if there were
facilities to ship the foodstuff to
the Settlement and other places.
Mr., McVeigh declaresth that all that
is needed is a road of about eight

and the house is in deplorable
condition.
A general discussion followed
the talk of Mr.. Baldwin, and several
members declared that something
should be done to fix up the rest"
house. The statement was made
that on couple of occasions, lately,
parties of people who had gone to
much expense on account of the
Haleakala trip, and arrived at the
hut only to be denied admission bv
some Japanese who were camped
there.
President Baldwin asked Super
wiser Henning if something could
not be done by the supervisors.
Mr.. Henning said that, perhaps, i.
man who would work on the trail
and live near the summit house,
could De OBTAINED. III a concrete
floor was put i'll and the door lock-
ed, the man could see that only
people who had a right to use the
hut, were allowed to enter it.
The meeting voted to appoint
Mr.. Henning as a committee of
one to look into the matter, and to
see if the board of supervisors can
arrange some scheme to protect the
hut and keep it clean. ct is no

Silver Sword
Is Increasing

That there is still plenty of
Silver Sword" in the crater of
Haleakala; is the opinion of Louis
Won Tempsky, the ranch manager.
He, i'll answer to a question as to
whether all the beautiful plants
had been eXterminated by those
who grab everything in sight,
when on a crater trip, stated that,
although the plants have been pretty
we'll cleared out on one side OF the
crater, there were plenty-morethan
ever before-in places that are
known to the dwellers on the
mountain side.
The Silver Sword" plant is
highly priced, and it is stated that
there are only a couple of places
in the world where the plant can
be found. The crater of Haleaka-
la is one and the Himalaya noun
tains is the other.
The news that the plant is in
creasing and that there are more
now than ever before, is cheering
and the people who were worrying
about the possibilities of the "Sil-
yer Sword" disappearing alto
gether, feel very pleased.

RESULTS.

STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

Last Sunday afternoon, on the
Wailuku diamond, there were two
games of baseball and the results
can be seen at a glance at the head
of this story. The Kahului outfit
had an easy time with the Lahaina
boys and won as they liked from
the visitors. The score tells the
tale.
In the other game the Puunene
did things to the Stars, and cinched
the game in the seventh when four
men came home. Up till that in
ming, the Stars were feeling good
and were leading by a score of 3 to
2. They increased this to 4 to 2 at
the end of their half of the seventh,
and the Star rooters were very Joy
full. However, in the second half
of the seventh the Fuunenes piled
up four runs and then had the lead
by a score of 6 to 4. They increased
this by two more runs, made in the
eighth, and that was ali tie scoring
that was done by either team in the
game. The Kahului club is now
away in the lead for the p fmier
honors of the second series, and
there is every prospect of them
holding their advantage to the
finish.
The full scores follow:

Hard Rock at
Kihei Wharf

Unexpected difficulties have been
met with at the site of the Kihei
boat landing and contractor Howell
is finding that the work of placing
the concrete piles is not going ahead
as rapidly as was expected. The
bottom of the bay, along the shore,
is found to be composed of first,
sand, then coral and then, under
meath the coral, some kind of rock
that is extremely hard, and of TIE
kind that the drills cannot make
much impression OH.
The work is, of course, going
ahead, but much slower than was
at first anticipated. A new plant
has had to be installed, and COM
pressed air will be used in future.
According to Mr.. Howell, the
boat landing will not be ready
till five or six weeks later than was
at first expected. However, there
is no doubt of the job being carried
to a successful finish, although it
will not be finished as soon as was
thought. An expert in drill work
has been secured and he is sanguine
about the proposition.

To Care For
REST House

AT the meeting of the Maui
Chamber of Commerce, that was
held last Thursday, president F.
f. Baldwin brought up a matter
that is of great importance. He
declared that something should be
done to improve the rest" house
at Haleakala, which .now is in a
bad condition.
1t was stated that several parties
have lately made the trip to the
summit and that they have found
nothing but filth, empty cans and
bottles in the hut, Every particle
of wood has been used for fires

Especial Correspondence. J

HONOLULU, Aug. S.-If you
owned three of the best lots in Ka-
imuki, clear of all incumbrance; if
you had fifteen hundred dollars in
the bank and wanted to build a
home for twenty five hundred dollars
and the banks would not advance
the thousand on a mortgage on the
house and lot, wouldn't it make
you lose confidence in mankind of
the philanthropic variety? Well,
there is one instance of that sort
here in Honolulu, and there may
a hundred. The banks will tell
tell you they are not closing out
anyone whose collateral is sugar
stock, but they are asking them to
come through with more collateral
or pay something on account. What
is done in case of failure to comply
is left to the Imagination. Again
it is to be written that the retailers
say they have no kick coming as to
trade, and their stores confirm the
statement.

being made in sklrmish line order. The
firing was begun by small line of
constitutionalists visible from the
American bank of the Rio Grande, who
were attempting to gain the Matamoras
electric light plant, mile out of the
city.
The entire forces Of General Blanco,
numbering about 1900, were brought
into the attack The lines ap-

Dynamite Is Exploded.

An old treste owned by the Mexican
National railroad caught fire during the
fight and has been burning briskly ever
since. Three fires are visible in as many
parts OF the city.
One of the federas captured few
days ago by the rebels was forced by
them to give the location of dynamite
mines planted near the light plant. One
mine was fired without any injury so far
as can be learned.
Two Americans watching the fighting
from the American side were hurt by
stray bullets. Both wounded men are In
serious condition.
1t was learned that, besides the loss Of
Ma jor Ramos, Captain Velez and two
leutenants, a score of federal soldiers
were killed in defending the Matamoras
Hght plant. A federal deserter said that
the federals were pushed back 10 the
main plaza with heavy losses,
