They felt it was tantamount to un-

Coupled with this there was among

President Wilson concerned vitality
General Carranza's wish 10 have the
American embargo on the importation
OF arms into Mexico lifted.

Big Damages
Were Sought

In the Circuit Court, before Judge
kingsbury, a damage suit to the
amount of $4,000 was brought by
Mrs. Mary Santos, of Kula, against
Mr.. Charles Thompson, of the same
place. The alleged damage was
said to have involved the destruc-
ton of numerous banana plants,
sweet potatoes, prickly pear, coffee
and flowers, which used to grow on
the land Of the plaintiff, until
Thompson 5 cattle were enabled to
enter upon the same land, through
the stone wall being thrown down
by the defendant.
d. H. Case and Enos Vincent
were the attorneys for the defense,
while Eugene Murphy appeared for
the plaintiff. 1t was jury trial and
the defense relied upon the state
ments that the stone wall was not
in its proper place, and that the
land inclosed by it was not the pro-
perty of the plaintiff. The attorneys
for the defense also elected the fact
that but a very small return was
ever obtained from the land and
that the damages asked for were alb
surd.
The defense asked for a directed
yer dict forthe defendant in the case,
but the matter went to the jury who
fonnd in favor of the plaintiff and
fixed the damages at 500. An
appeal was noted by the attorneys
for the defendant, on the grounds
that the verdict was at variance to
the evidence in the case.

~
Are Wrecks

During the heavy squalls of Sun
day last there were several narrow
escapes from wrecks among the
smaller craft that ply around the
coast of Maui. Two big sampans
did actually go ashore, and one of
them is a total wreck. The force
of the wind was so great that the
sampans, which were moored some
distance out in Kahului bay, were
driven ashore.
One sampan is a total loss-ex-
cept for the engine, which may be
recovered and set up again. When
the boat struck she heeled over and,
after breaking off her bow, filled
with sand and water. There was
a hard job to get the sand out and
uncover the engine, after the sea
had subsided.
No damage was done to the
breakwater at Kahului, although
the waves threw spray we'll over it
at times. The sea kept up for
several days and the beach road
was a wet drive for part of the past
week.

lnter-IsIand
Ball Games
Fine Series Is Planned For Mid
Pacific Carnival Week On
Oahu.

One thing is certain, and that is
that the Carnival week in Honolulu.
next February, is going to be a big
sporting proposition, as well as a
gala fete. The baseball alone. will
be big feature, and the series of
inter-island games that is to be
played, should attract thousands of
mainland visitors to the Athletic
Park, or where ever the games are
to be played. The committee in
charge of the baseball end of the
carnival has for its chairman, A.
l.. Castle, the well known athlete.
Al" is working on the inter-island
series, and he has written to the
Maui sports leaders, asking them TO
get busy on the baseball proposition.
The idea is to start the games on
Saturday, February IA, and to run
them through till, and including,
Monday, February %. Each team
will be expected to play five games,
and handsome cup will be donated
to the winning team. The Carnival
committee stands ready to pay the
expenses of the Maui team twelve
mem, both as regards steamer fares
and while in Honolulu.
There will be three, or maybe,
four Honolulu teams, and the visit
ing teams from Hawaii, Kauai and
Maui, will have to play one game
against those aggregations. The
Honolulu mines will, probably, be
the Punahous, the Asahis, the C.
A. G. and picked team from the
Oahu League.
Kauai is said to have strong
nine, and Hilo is sure to also have
4 fine team. Maui will have to put
her best men forward, and some
hard work will have to be( done in |
anticipation of the big inter island |
series.

Maui Boys
To Hawaii

On Wednesday last, a big bunch
of young Hawaiians left Maui for
Mahukona, Hawaii, where they will
work on the new wharf at that
port. The young men have been
engaged by contractor J. G. Foss,
Jr. Capt. Bal, who saw some of
his National Guards on the auto

become of their uniforms. The boys
got busy and soon made matters
alright and then proceeded on their
way.

Artist After
New Pictures

R. H. Earhart, an artist who
has been commissioned by the
Hawaiian Promotion Committee to
roam the islands and secure pictures
of each one, that will appeal to the
tourist, is on Maui. He made the
Haleakala trip and also visited lao
Valley.
Mr.. Earhart, who halls from San
Francisco, is to paint a panoramic
scene of the most notable spots on
each island. He sketches the scenes
first, and then photographs sections.
These are, afterwards, made up into
a composite picture that will show
the natural colors and all the de-
tails.
lao Needle has been photo
graphed and painted thousands of
times, but the latest attempt is of
different variety and will be obtain
ed from an entirely new standpoint.
Trails will be cut up the
face of the mountains. and the
camera will be so placed that some
thing new in the way of pictures of
the Needle and the surrounding
country will be secured.

Big Bazaar
On Nov. Is

Next Saturday evening, at the
Wailuku Gymnasium, the annual
bazaar of the Womans' Guild of the
Church of The Good Shepherd will
take place. This affair is always
a brilliant one and everybody at
tends it. People from all over Maui
manage to take a run down to the
bazaar, and the result is that a fine
sum of money is made each year
through the untiring efforts of the
ladies in charge of the fair.
An added interest this year will
be that the new pastor of the church
will be present to meet those of his
flock whom he has not already met.
The Rev. Charles Villiers and Mrs.
Nilliers are getting settled in Wal
luku, and they will have a good
opportunity on Saturday evening to
meet practically all of the members
of the church.
The annual bazaar is always in
teresting and the tables are always
loaded with beautiful articles that
show how hard the ladies have
worked to bring the sale to a success
full conclusion. 1t is anticipated
that this years fete will be even
better than those of previous years.

Party Visits
HaIeakaIa
Mainland Visitors Have Glorious
ExperienCe-Not One Cloud
Was Seen.

On Saturday last, merry party
left Wailuku for the summit of
Haleakala and, included among
the persons who made the trim.
were some well known Maui people.
The excursion was made in order to
give Ray. B. Howell and Mrs.
Howell, an opportunity to see the
wonderful sight that attracts so
many people to Maui. Mr.. Ray. B.
Howell, is brother of Hugh of
that ilk, and that is enough to
stamp him as a good sort. Mrs.
Ray Howell, who has made many
friends on Maui during a short STAY.
is California girl and travels with
her husband, who represents Yale
& Towne, everywhere outside of the
United States.
The party which consisted of
Mrs. E. H. Paris, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
A, Baldwin, Miss Francis Baldwin.
Miss M. Couch, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh
Howell and, of course, the much
travelled Howells, went as far as the
Baldwin House at Olinda on Satur-
day. Then, on Sunday morning.
the trip to the summit of the big
mountain was begun. The party
made the ascent in good time and
then remained for few hours ON
the edge of the crater. The return
trip to Olinda was made in time for
lunch, and then the rest of Sunday
was put in enjoying games and
reading. 1t rained very heavily on
night, and the party con-
graduated itself that headquarters
we're established in Mr.. Baldwin's
lovely home at Olinda. The trippers
got back to Wailuku on Monday and
lad nothing but good to say about
,he whole experience.
There was not a cloud in the
'rater," said Mr.. Hugh Howell
when speaking of the trip, and
he outlook was beautiful. There
vas nothing to block our view for
niles and miles, and the other ISL
'nds OF the group could be seen dis
lnctly. 1t was a wonderful trip
md, although | have been on the
op OF Haleakala many times, |

non as much as the one we have
Just finished"
1t is expected that during the
middle of February next, there will
'e a large number of tourists ON
Maui. They will come to Homo
ulu, attracted by the Carnival week,
md will be advised to make both
he Haleakala excursion and the XII
auea volcano one.
