''Airship''
For Maui

Maui spirit, often described as
Maui No Ka Oi," will be waited
from our island into the floral
parade of the carnival on all air
ship-a complete Zeppelin dirigi-
bic made of cleaning silver sword
gathered from the slopes of the
sandy cones on the crater floor of
the suns palace, Haleakala.
The Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee has commissioned DR.. G.. S.
Aiken, of Kahului to represent
Maui with his automobile during
the coming celebration.
DR.. Aiken who has already taken
part in two floral parades with his
machine decorated with silver
sword (winning second and special
prizes on the first occasion) has
selected this time the design of a
modern a1rshlp, lgar-shaped body,
propeller, car and all, to be pro-
fusely adorned with the leaves of
the famous silver plant.
On Monday, the 26th, a party
consisting of DR.. Aiken, Sandford
and Jack Walker, David Parker,
two Hawaiians and two pack
mules, left Kahului for a 3O-mile
trip into the crater for the purpose
of gathering many sacks of silver
sword for the adornment of the

Paia Tennis
Going Well

Up at Paia the mixed doubles
tennis tournament is going strong
and the matches played are always
watched with the greatest interest.
The form shown by some of the
teams is good, and some budding
talent has been discovered.
During the past week the fol-
lowing matches have been played
off: Miss A. Walker and A. w.
Collins beat Miss Rosecrans and
Hebert, 60, 6-5. Miss Lindsay
and Stanley Richardson beat Mrs.
Sloggett and c. Burns, O., 60.
Miss Couch and Coils beat Mrs.
Nicolls and Bevins, 6-2. 10, 60.
Mrs. H. A. Baldwin and Mellor
beat Miss G. Won Tempsky and F.
Burns, 6-3, 20, 90.
The tournament will last for
some time yet, and then a start
will be made on the open mixed
doubles, for which it is expected
that there will be a record entry
list.

All Chinese
VS.. AII-Maui
Famous Ball Team Will Play Two
Games Here on February
q and 5.

Good news was received last
Tuesday morning when Harold
Rice, manager of the All Maui
baseball team, got word that the
famous All Chinese ball nine would
visit Maui and play two games
against the Maui representatives.
The Chinese are due to arrive here
next Tuesday morning, and they
will play on Wednesday and Thurs
day afternoons.
The All Chinese need no intro
duction to Maui. The boys were
here not so long ago, and they de-
feated our home bunch. This time
it is thought that Maui will do
much better than on the former
occasion.
1t has been arranged to start the
games at four O'Clock so that the
gerAral public will have a chance
of seeing the teams in action. The
visitors are fine set of ball tossers,
and they are a good bunch of sports
men, into the bargain. 1t is a
treat to see them in action, and the
clever plays taht they picked up
during their tours of the mainland,
are always appreciated by the fans.

Bum Shows
Don't Draw
In Sydney

1t amuses people who know the
truth to read the stories of the
knockers who are filling the Homo
lulu papers with their howls about
the way they were treated in Aus
tralia, when on a theatrical CD
tour.
The city of Sydney with its 7OO,-
900 inhabitants and the city of
Melbourne with its G75, 900 citizens,
to say nothing about cities of
from 100000 to 100000 peo-
pie, are well supplied with large
theaters, in which the best London,
New York and continental theatri-
cal companies are constantly to be
seen. There is no demand for the
10, 20 and so cent style of shows
that the disgruntled bunch produce.
The company should never have
left the place it belongs to-and
that is San Francisco, South of
the Slot.
The company that could not fill
a house on Maui, had as much
chance as the proverbial SNOWFALL
of filling a theater, even for one
night, in Sydney, Melbourne, Ade-
laide, Perth or Brisbane.

and usually quiet burg was a tire.
mendous sensation at the time,
should be less than nine days
wonder? Here we have in one day,
a suicide of business man, follow
ed i'll less than twenty-four hours
by a murder and suicide and, in
the latter case, it seems to be among
persons who were at least on the
fringe of society. And, believe me,
if half that has been published is
true, the fringe had been bedraggled
in the dirt somewhat. Once the
latest husband arrived here from
Hilo, talk of the affair ceased, and
the incident from that time to this
has been a closed one. Whether
the man Wagner had ever been
married to the woman he killed is a
question; from the letters found
among the effects of the woman,
take it he was merely an affinity
whose wife had sued and procured
a divorce. Or it may have been
that the woman had been sued by
her husband; at all events it appears
the decree was not established at
the time of the murder and would
not be until the end of January.
The other case of suicide was that
of Cressaty of real estate trade. He
had been complaining for long
time of i'll health. His wife, from
whom he had been apart for more
than year, was to have returned
on the Wilhelmina, it is said, but
she did not come; her business
partner did and that seemed to
grieve Cressaty. Next morning he
walked around the yard at his home
in Waikiki, and a few hours after
ward the undertaken was sent for:
the man had swallowed carbolic
acid, but the doctor said he found
no trace of it. A man who examin-
ed the inside of his mouth found all
that was necessary to convince him
of the cause of the death, and when
a post mortem was held later, the
opinion was confirmed. There was
sufficient carbolic acid in the
stomach to kill two doctors.
THE "BARoN."
The third event of this same
character has to do with Baron[?)
Won Woellworth. In his case, how
ever, the public are skeptical. You
see Won gave out a lot of checks with
no money in the bank. Then he
hied himself away and turned up a !
week or two later in one of the
camps with a story that he has lost
MS way and his memory at the
same time. After that he went to
Jail and was kept there for long

was particular to insist upon Dank-

the gift and not to give it the 60 bye
on account of his well known mo-
desty. No one expects that the
baron has gone for good. Possibly
he got billet on outgoing steamer

came here in that position, and may
be heard of later. In the meantime

Poor old Bridgewater, the man
who was going to put Mrs. Langton

blinking himself since The Adver-
tiser took a shot at him. "Bridgie, :"

DIVING EXHIBITION
BY BILL CORPsTE|N

Lovers of the art of diving will have
an opportunity to enjoy it this evening
when Bill Corpstein and the Butler
brothers give a special exhibition at
Riverside park.
Corpstein is one of the best known
amateurs in this part of the country
and his fame is as great in Catalina
and the Los Angeles coast resorts as
it is right here in Phoenix while the
Butler boys are somewhat younger but
fast coming experts.
2 The exhibition will include all the
various types of diving, from spring
board and towers of various height,
including some Swans, getaways"
one land halfs' and other stunts
from the top of the highest platform.
1t will begin at 7:15 and will prove an
event of exceptional interest; the time
has passed when one has to go to the
coast for things of this sort. You can
see everything in the line of water
sports right in Phoenix.

UNS0LvED MYSTERY
IN SWISS GLACIER

VIENNA, Aug. S.--A judicial COM
mission has been appointed at Gratz,
the capital of Syria, to inquire into
the death of Herr Francis Melounig,
whose body was found on the Gross
Venediger Glacier together with those
of four other Alpine tourists.
Examination of the bodies showed
that the four tourists had been frozen
to death. Herr Melounig, however, had
died as the result of a blow from an
ice-axe dealt from behind him.
1t is impossible to reconstitute this
mysterious drama of the mountains, as
all the members of the party are dead,
but one theory is that the tourists slew
their leader-who had acted as their
guide-because he led them astray,
committing the last act of vengeance
before resigning themselves to death
in the snowstorm.

WHOLE FAMILY
DIFFERENTIATED
French Captain in a Hallu-
cination Sought to Save
His Wife and Children
from Fate Worse Than
Death

PARIS, Aug 10-"The prey of an
hallucination, thought that my dear
wife and children were about to be car
ried off by the Moors, and that |
killed them to save them from a worse
fate. l came to myself and found that
they were dead, shot by my hands.
Pray to God for us. l go to join them
before the Almighty"
Such were the words found in let
ter in the room of flat in Oran,
where Captain Come and his wife lay
dead. In the next room on a bed, side
by side, as if asleep, were his two lit
tie daughters, dead also, each with
bullet wound through the temple. They
must have been killed in their sleep.
Further on in his bedroom, but dressed,
and with fishing-rod by his side, was
stretched on the floor Captain Comes
eldest child and only son. His father
must have shot him just as he was
leaving his room to go fishing in the
harhor of the port.
This pitiful tragedy, which wiped out
a whole family was discovered by a

door Of the flat and receiving no an
swer opened and entered. A glance
sufficed TO show him that something
terrible had happened, and he ran to
inform the police. The tragedy must
have dated back to four days earlier,
for four copies of the newspaper sup
piled to Captain Come were found
thrust beneath the door. The dead of
ficer was as years of age, and had been
on sick leave in Oran for six weeks. 1t
appears that since he had been in
valided to Oran he had been subject to
recurrent Authorizations, which took
the form of conviction that his wife
and children, to whom he was passion
