Swimming
Exhibition

Last Saturday evening the ex-
hibition of swimming by the Gym
nasium girls proved to be a great
success; the proceeds went to the
Gymnasium fund. The tank was
surrounded by lanterns which made
a very pretty effect on the water.
Demonstrations of the different
strokes in swimming and rescue
work proved very interesting to the
audience. Mrs Helen Howell, the
youngest swimmer, showed her skill
in various dives and races,
Naome Robinson with her original
spiral stroke and Ella Bal, who
swan the length of the tank under
water, delighted all present. At
the close of the exhibition flower
leis were thrown into the water to
each girl. Miss Starkweather to
whom the success of the exhibition
is due is trying to interest all girl
swimmers of Maui to train for a
contest for the championship of the
island. A meet will be arranged
later in the season.

New Courts
At Puunene

I After many years the Puunene
grass tennis courts are being changed
to- hard ones. The courts are being
dug up for a couple of feet in
depth and two new oil" courts
will be built. The courts will be
like those at Paia and the players
who prefer the hard court game will
at last be satisfied.
For many years the Puunene
grass courts have been famous all
over the territory and many people
will be sorry to hear that the courts
have been changed. All the world S
championships are played on grass
courts and in the Davis Cup matches
only turf courts can be used.
The new courts at Puunene will
probably play truer than the old
grass ones and all future open
tournaments will be more pleasing
to the outsiders on account of their
not having to change their style, as
in the past, when they stepped
\from hard courts to the grass ones.

Especial Correspondence.)

HONOLULU, Dec. 19.-There
are so many things overlooked by
the police department of Honolulu
that | am constrained to believe the
sheriff does not keep an eye, nor
does he compel his officers to keep
their eyes, where they should be.
Around about 1920 or thereabouts
the missionaries arrived and ar
ranged Sunday laws that were quite
satisfactory to themselves; they
would be satisfactory to the people
of today if they were enforced. A
case in point. In the days prior to
annexation ali sorts of labor was
barred by Statute, and the man who
attempted to put down a length of
mating in his bedroom on Sunday
was apt to be fined five" or so.
Outside work was expressly forbid
den, and do not remember of an
instance where anyone had the
hardihood to NOW the grass on
their lawn, or chop down a tree.
But today, thanks to an indulgent
sheriff, everything goes. 1t is only
a fortnight ago that saw carpen-
ters erecting a house in the suburbs
one bright Sabbath morning. There
is not Sunday goes over but what

industrious worker has his fires and

trying to get in the fag end of a
sleep. | do not believe that annex
alton changed the laws. / do not
believe there is a reason why this
particular law could not be enforced
today, as it was twenty-five years
ago. When | say that annexation
did not change the laws, l wish to
qualify it by saying further, that il
did not alter this particular law; it
must still be on the statutes and
the sheriff is still asleep. "Our
Bill" had better wake up; get out
from the shadow of his home or the
station house and note what is GO

Clean Roads
About Paia

From now on, the Paia lookup
will be used to house prisoners
who will be worked on the roads
and kept busy on other jobs in the
mauka district. Sheriff CrOwell
has decided to station at least eight
or ten prisoners at Paia, and to
have the men clean up the roads
and take care of other matters.
! The old Jail was in a very un-
Sanitary condition, and the first
fob of the sheriff was to see that
the place was made habitable and
that the necessary conveniences
We're installed. The building will
be looked over by Chief Sanitary
Inspector Osmer and, if it meets
with his approval, the prisoners
|&ill be domiciled there in future.
Z For some days past the sheriff
has been taking men up to Paia
and putting them to work on the
roads. The difference is already
noticed, and the residents of Paia
express themselves as very pleased
with the cleanup work that has al
ready been done.

"Fagin'' and
Oliver Twist

When a Filipino was brought up
before Judge Mckay on Wednesday
morning last, it was found that a
real Dickens Fagin act was being
worked. The Filipino was proved
to have taught a young Hawaiian
boy how to pick pockets and to en-
ter houses through windows and
trap doors. The Hawaiian Oliver
Twist told the whole story and the
court gasped in astonishment.
1t seems that the Filipino became
acquainted with the lad and, after
a time, prevailed on the boy to
start on a career of crime. The lad
took to the game like the proverbial
duck does to water and, in a
short time, was making haul after
haul of jewelry, clothing and money
for his master. Then the police got
busy and the whole plan was dis
closed.
Judge Mckay sentenced the man
to six months Jail and consigned the
boy to the Reform School in Homo
lulu, where he will have an oppor-
tunity to instruct the other delin-
quent youths in the way to live
without work-till caught,

Puk00 Will
Play Maui

There is every probability that
the Pukoo basketball players will
have a match with the Wailuku
bunch on Christmas Day-or rather
on the evening of the big day.
Dan Carey, the energetic manager
of the Wailuku gymnasium, is on
the warpath and is communicating
with DR.. Hayes, of Molokai. Dan
is not sure whether the Pukoo play
ers are men or girls, as DR.. Hayes
forgot to mention that important
distinction in his letter to this
paper.
Dan says, however, that the Wal
luku players are ready to meet
either a team of men or women-it
makes no difference to the Maui
players. A team of either sex can
be gotten together at a short notice,
and the Pukoo people can get all
the basketball they will need for
the year 1914, at the hands of the
Wailuku representatives.
The match is as good as arranged,
and the letter explaining the whole
situation will probably reach Pukoo
before this story is read on Molokai

Big Dredger
Has Trouble

On Sunday last the big dredger
that has been working at Kahului,
started off for Hilo in tow of the
steamer Hilonian. The start was
successful but, before the steamer
was half mile off shore, the cable
parted and the dredger began to
drift ashore. The tug Leslie Bald
win was whistled for and she saved
the dredger from being piled up.
On Tuesday morning the tug In
trepid from Honolulu arrived, and
the dredger once more started for
Hilo. This time there was no
trouble and the tug and her tow
soon were out Of sight.
The work at Kahului will be re-
sumed within a few months, wheE
the weather becomes better. TKe
dredger will work at Kuhio Bay
Hilo, where a lot of deepening mas

that leads to the new deep sea
wharf is ready for all kinds OF
steamers to steam through.

Ball Players
Work Hard

Last Sunday ,on the Wailuku base
ball ground, there was a practise
game and although the rain rather
spoiled things, a fair sized crowd
turned up to see the fun. The full
teams were not present, as most OF
the players had given up hope of
getting a game and had departed to
the country districts for the Sun
day. However, manager Rice of
the All-Maui bunch, got couple of
mines together, and started up a
game that kept the players in form
and made the spectators forget the
rain.
Rice took a hand at the game and
played center. He brought off one
wonderful catch and then got a man
at second with fine throw. The
effort was applauded.
The game could hardly be called
a real one between All-Maui and
the Rest" as so many ball tossers
were absent. However, there was
some sport and that is what the
people wanted. The Paia band was
in attendance and played some fine
selections. The band is improving
every day and Maui should be proud
of the musicians.

Amateurs
Will Star

On January 10 an interesting
theatrical entertainment for the
benefit of Alexander House Settle
ment is to be given at the Kahului
Lyceum.
Mrs. Jones who proved her ability
in the theatrical line at the "Win-
ter Garden" is drilling number
of Maui's amateur performers for
the vaudeville. She also plays an
important role, and is sure to make
a hit as "Sallie the Dancing Girl"
One of the most interesting num-
bers on the program will be Twenty
Minutes in Paris Cafe" " Another
pleasing feature will be the musical
number in the Indian scene. Three
new stars will appear in a farce
entitled Mrs. Forester's Crusade.
Splendid music will be furnished
by string orchestra directed by
Mr.. Chillingworth.
Mr.. White will also appear on
the program. The part he is to play
will be announced later. Mr.. White
needs no introduction to the Maui
public as his dramatic efforts have
always been crowned with success.
The program will close with com
petitive dancing.

If the county fathers of Maui do
not obtain a certificate from the
Board of Health as regards the water
supply of Waikiki and Kahului,
there is every chance of the supply
being cut off on January 1, 1914.
The act passed at the 1913 session
of the legislature makes it impera-
tive that all persons, firms, corpo-
porations or organizations of any
kind, county, municipal on terri
torial departments, furnishingwater,
whether for pay or not, must OBJ
tain certificate from the territorial
board of health.
The new law comes into effect on
January 1, and it is then up to the
board of health to say whether the
lao water supply is alright or not.
There is a rufnor going the rounds
that the certificate will not be Civ
en- and, in that case, the towns Of
Wailuku and Kahului will be in a
bad way.
The agitation that was started a
long time ago to have the water
head of the lao supply put higher
up the valley, has been revived, and

EIkS' Dance
Will Shine

There is going to be one glorious
time on New Years Eve in Homo
lulu, and the big Elk masquerade
ball and the vaudeville show in the
new armory will be something that
will be spoken of for years to come.
The Elks always do things in style
and the big dance will set a new
mark that will for all time battle
the efforts of any other organization
to touch.
a great many country people are
expected to attend the ball, and the
outside islands will be well repre-
sented in Honolulu on December 81.
The big armory is to be turned into
a bower of flowers and the place
will look like a wonderland. The
immense floor will be polished like
glass, and the music will be such as
will make even a cripple get up and
attempt the tango.
The Elks are always doing some
good work and the big ball will help
out a lot in the cause of charity.
The committee in charge has al
ready donated money to the Mali
hini Christmas Tree and from the
proceeds of the big dance, more
money will be turned over to chari-
table organizations.

WAILUKU AND KAHULUI
MAY SUFFER WATER FAMINE
Unless Certificate Is Obtained From Board of Health
lao Supply May Be Shut Off-New Law Goes
Into Effect on January l.

there is no doubt that the work will
have to be done in the near futune.
The waterhead was much further
up the valley at one time but, years
ago, the pipe line was removed.
That any attempt to stop the
people of Wailuku and Kahului
from getting their daily water,
would result in a riot, goes without
saying, declare some persons. How
ever, the law was passed by the
men elected by the people, and
there would seem to be no way of
getting out of the difficulty, except
by placing the waterhead higher up
the valley.
The water supply of Wailuku and
Kahului has always been looked
upon as very good, and there have
been no complaints about it. Still,
it is said that the intake is below
where dwelling houses are, and
there may be a chance of contamin-
alton. 1t would seem to be up to
the board of supervisors to see that
the pipe line is at once extended to
a place above any possible source of
danger.

PunahOu
Players
Coming

After much correspondence and
hard work, manager Harold Rice of
the All-Maui nine succeeded in ar
ranging for the famous Punahou
Athletic Clubs baseball team to
come to Maui and play at least
three games against the All-Maui
aggregation. Games will be played
on January /, 2, and 3, and it is
expected that the largest crowd in
the history of Maui baseball will at
tend. The money taken at the
gates and through the sale of tickets
will be devoted to financing the trip
of the All-Maui organization to
Honolulu next February. 1t is up
to all lovers of Maui to at least buy
q ticket even if the pass is never
used. Every dollar will count and
make it possible for Maui to be pro-
perly represented by men in decent
uniforms and with the necessary
tools of the great game.
1t is very probable that the Puma
hou team will arrive on the Homo
lulan, which may leave Honolulu
on the evening of December 81.
That is what the people interested
are trying to do, as it is very i'm
portant that some of the Punahou
players lose as little time as possible
from their work in offices and other
places. Influence is being brought
to bear in order to see if the Homo
lulan cannot be scheduled to sail
from Honolulu late on the evening
of December 81.
If the Honolulan arrives at Ka-
hului on the morning of January l,
the Punahou lineup will be as fH-
lows: Baldwin, C; Castle, p; Hen
shaw, 1b; Lieut.. Sadtler, 2b; C. J.
Hoogs, IS; w. H. Hoogs, 3b; lizard
IT,; Inman, CT; E. Baldwin or Gay,
rf. The team for the second game
will be the same, with the ev.
ception that Inman will be in the
box, E. Baldwin at center and Gay
at right field.
Should the Honolulan be not de-
layed to bring the team to Maui, a
team will be sent by the Mauna Kea
and taken back to Honolulu on the
Claudina leaving Kahului at five
thirty O'Clock on Saturday after
noon.
This is all fine news for the Maui
people and the lovers of the nation
al game will be able to size up the
strength of the home team, and
make a guess as to how it will stack
up against the rest of the island
teams during the Mic Pacific Carni-
val week.

Maui won the bowling champion
ship of the islands last Wednesday
evening, when the Valley Islanders
took two out of three games from the
Honolulu team which was, up till
the eventful night, tied with the
Maui outfit. All Maui takes the
victory of the home bowling team
as a good sign, and also as a tip
that in February next the All Maui
baseball team will be equally as
successful.
In the three games bowled the
total scores were as follow: Maui
SSS, S13, S3O-253f. Honolulu
$50, $50, 795-25S4. 1t will be
seen at a glance that while the
grand total of the Honolulu bunch
is greater than that of Maui, two
games were clean cut victories for
Maui. The players of this island
demonstrated that they are the best
bowlers in the group and, by de-
feating three other strong teams,
have placed Maui where she belongs
in every branch of sport--and that
is at the head of affairs.

days match were as follow:

In this first book. the process has be-
gun. There are heart burnings, and
