Congressman Make 1t Easy

Washington. D. C.-Rep-
resentative Clark. of Florida,
now comes forward with a bill
to permit street car conduc-
tors in this city to carry re-
volvers and billies to protect
themselves against obstreLer-
Gus passengers. OF course,
this bill is aimed at the Race
and the. object of giving
street car conductors police
powers. and right to carry FIRE
arms and billies is to make it
easy for them to beat up Afro
American passengers on the
slightest provocation. The
"cracker" street car conduc-
tors here, if thus empowered,
would make separate cars un-
necessary for the reason they
could billie or shoot Afro
American attempting to board
cars, and then say that it was
to preserve order or in self
defense. Men of the Race.

The trouble grew out of
Mrs. Montague purchasing a
house in a neighborhood. in
which it seems Afro Ameri-
cans are not wanted, began
on Saturday when the family
took possession and continued
until Tuesday night when
their aggravated neighbors
formed a mob. whose business
it seems was to rid the neigh
bofhood of the niggers." SO
as to speak,
The occupants were first an
noyed by the small children
who threw fire works on the
porch, at the windows and on
the occupants. The gang of
children were supplemented

threatening crowds were an
noying the new neighbors
nightly. Growing bolder. on
tuesday night the mob began
to use bricks. stones and after
wards firearms to demolish
the property, threatening the
occupants with death if they
remained on the premises un-
til the evening Of the follow
ing day,Wednesday. A lone
policeman who responded in
answer to the call when ac-
quainted with the conditions
sent in a riot call" two wag-
on loads of officers answering,
who restored order afte rmuch
disorder and excitement.
Strange to say no patrol-
man was anywhere near dur
ing the two hours this mob
threatened the lives of these
people. notwithstanding help
had been asked for Sunday.
1t is limited by some. too,
that the police we're in sym
pathy with the mob and stay

1T was dreadful" said Miss
Irene Montague. when speak
ing of the affair, I'VE never
thought there would be so
trouble over nothing. Mother
didn't know that the neigh
bors would object to us. We
bought the honse through a
colored agent and the former
owner never in any way led
us to believe that we would
not be agreeable neighbors.
1t was not until we were NOV
ing in that l found out there
would be any objection to us,
the children calling US names,
and a few of the neighbors
making. insulting remarks"

OPENING Big DITCH TO BE
feature OF CONVENTION
Plan to Have Governor Press Button That Will Start
Water Flowing. half Million Dollar Project
About Completed

BY the pressure of his finger upon
an electric switch, Governor Pink
ham will bring into use for the first
time, the great new half million
dollar irrigation project of the East
Maui Irrigation Company. Two
hundred or more delegates to the
Third Civic Convention will witness
this interesting event, and with the
Governor will witness the first surge
of water through the big ditch on
it's way to give life to the Puunene
plantation, miles away.
This is one of the features of the
Civic Convention, which the COM
mittee in charge of the arrangements
is now considering. 1t is the sug-
gestion of President F. F. Baldwin,
and in all Likelihood will be carried
out in connection with the visit of
the delegates to the Kuiaha home
stead district on Sunday, October 4.
The ditch to be opened is the re-
located Haiku ditch, or as it is COM
monty known the old Spreckels
ditch. Work on the big project has
been progressing steadily for over
two years. 1t is now virtually COM
pIeted, and, according to President
Baldwin will be ready to carry water
by the time the big convention is
held.
The waterway is for the most part
tunnels, completely concrete lined,
and will bring water from Kailua a
distance of nearly 20 miles to the
plantation. Where the ditch cuts
through the homestead tract, it is
the idea to have arrangements made
by which the Governor may open
the gate, some six miles away, and
the visitors may see the flow of water
when 1t first arrives. At the same
place, it is the intention that the
delegates shall be served to lunch
by the homesteaders.

Lufkin Referee
In Bankruptcy,

c. d. Lufkin has been named
U. S. referee in bankruptcy for all
the islands included in Maui coun-
ty.
Judge Dole this week appointed
referees in bankruptcy for each of
the counties of the Territory, in
stead of having but one as was
the case up to the time that George
S. Curry resigned the place to be-
come U. S. Commissioner. The
new referees are:
Oahu Gncluding Honolulu,
Judge Alexander Lindsay, Jr.; Ha-
waii, Attorney S. S. Rolph, of
Hilo; Maui, Molokai, Lanai and

Ballots May
Have to Be
Reprinted

Because it is claimed that the
words Vote for One" and their
Hawaiian equivalent, are so placed
on the official ballot that they give
an unfair advantage to the repub-
lican ticket, it is possible that the
ballots for the coming primary
election will have to be entirely re-
printed.
The matter first came up on
Oahu where the Democrats pro-
tested against the arrangement of
the words in question directly over
the republican column. 1t is under
stood that the matter has been re-
ferred to the Supreme Court, and
a decision is expected within a few
days, but in the meantime, County
Clerk Kaae has ordered enough
paper for reprinting the entire
number of ballots, in case such
may be necessary. County Attor-
ney Case is of the opinion that the
objection of the Democrats is we'll
taken.

Race By Sea
Pursued CIaudine From Hama to
Lanaina By Sampan and Automo-
biIe-Made Will Before Starting
Hazardous Trip.

A. Haneberg, travelling auditor
for H. Hackfeld & Company, had
an exciting and strenuous race on
Wednesday from Kipahulu to La
haina to catch the steamer Clau-
dine. Owing to a breakdown of
his automobile as he was returning
from an official visit to Kipahulu,
he missed the Claudine at Hama,
although the vessel was held for
over two hours for him.
The urgency of his getting back
to Honolulu OIL Thursday was such
that Mr.. Haneberg finally charter
ed a Japanese power sampan, and
although the sea was unusually
rough, he put off to chase the
Claudine to Kahului, only to find
upon arriving at this port, that he
had again missed the Inter Island
boat by about half an hour. How
ever, it was comparatively sim
pie matter to run over to Lahaina
by automobile, where he finally
overlook her.
Old timers around Hama declare
that the sea was so rough that
Mr., Haneberg was urged not to at
tempt the sampan voyage. That
he recognized something of the
danger is evidenced by the fact
that he executed his will before
leaving.

Nahiku Company Again Tapping and
Taking Advantage Of Good Prices
For ProduCt-Not Expected to
Continue.

Tapping was resumed on the
Nahiku Rubber Company's planta-
ton last week. Owing to the sud
den increase of the price Of rubber
from something like so cents,
which has obtained for the past
year, to SIPS, the present figure,
the company can now profitably
produce its product. Already a
number of shipments have been
made. these being sent forward by
mail in small packages in order to
reach the market in quickest time
possible.
The officers of the company are
not optimistic of the present quo
tations being maintained for very
long, even though the war CON
tinues. There is no lessening of
the quantity of rubber in the
world" said D. c. Lindsay, pres
ident of the Nahiku company, and
as soon as transportation facilities
get back to something like normal,
which they will before long, the
market will again have all the rub

In the three games with Oahu this

ably recently there should not be a
great deal to fear from them, 1t is
likely that three or more games

Professional Beggar
Visits Maui

A well dressed beggaron crutches,
has been making a nuisance of him
self in Wailuku and other parts of
Central Maui for the past several
weeks. The man is minus one leg,
but otherwise has every appearance
of being strong and able-bodied. He
is OF Portuguese nationality and it
is said carries letter from a Por-
tuguese society, upholding him in
his method of maintaining himself.
Those who claim to know, state
that the man always is able to show
a good sum of money. He rides a
horse and is said to travel from one
Island to another plying his trade.
1t has been reported to Sheriff
CrowelIchat in at least a number of
instances recently, the man has
caused considerable annoyance and
alarm to women. The sheriff states
that he will endeavor to getevidence
enough against him to convict him
of vagrancy or of trespass.

Rice Would
Not Change
Franchise
Candidate Brands as Lie Story That
He Would Favor Disfranchising
Voters of Territory.

Hon. Chas. A. Rice has been
making a most effective campaign
on Oahu during the past week. At
Kalihi on Tuesday night he nailed
once and for all an insidious re-
port that has been put in circula-
ton to the effect that he aimed to
work for the disfranchisement of a
large part of the voters of the Ter
ritory. On this point Mr.. Rice
said:
The charge has been made
that if l am elected Delegate to
Congress the franchise of the Ha-
waiians will be in danger. That
is lie.
If l am elected Delegate |
pledge you my word that I will do
nothing to change the present cleo
toral franchise of the Hawaiians,
and if any other person makes an
attempt to do so l will do all in
my power to prevent snch a
change"
The Rice meetings have been
we'll attended, and there has been
no lack of enthusiasm. Mr.. Rice
has repeatedly assured his listeners
that i'll case he is elected delegate
he will go to Washington at the
beginning ofeach session of Congress
and remain until the close. His
record as a worker and as one who
accomplishes things, is so well
established through his years in
the legislature, that there is little
doubt among those who have fol-
lowed his career that he will be no
idler i'll the National capital.
c. II. Olsen, w. H. Rice, Sr.,
and Alex. Lindsay, Jr., havetaken
an active part in the Rice meetings.
A strong showing has been made
of the various matters of interest
to Hawaii which have been up in
Washington during Kuhio's alb
sence, and which even at the pres
ent time are requiring the Chamber
of Commerce and other semi pub
lie or private interests to maintain
representatives in the Capital to do

don't expect our young daughters to
earn their clothing. But the fact re-
mains that the present generation must
pay exorbitantly for it's clothing. There
seems to be something like a conspir-
acy between the designers and the
manufacturers of women's hats and
dresses to prevent the development
of a Standardization of styles.
Every year bring a radical change
in cut, color and texture, compelling
the purchase of complete new outfits
unless a woman wants to be out of
style, which is nothing short of a cal
amity from the feminine point of view,
or the masculine either, for that mat
ter.
This is one thing which for the time
is beyond our control, but there are
many others involving car expenditure
of money which we can regulate, and
doing so is the only hope of econo-
mic salvation for us of the great mid
die class, for by so doing we are en-
abled to save some of our resources
and build up reserve fund the earn

TALKS ON THRIFT.
7. D. MAcGREGoR.

Before the French revolution FRANCE
was divided into three classes or "es-
tates'-the nobility, the clergy and the
common people
We cannot close our eyes to the fact
that in America today. as far as money
matters are concerned, society is again
divided into three classes-the rich,
the poor and the great middle class,
neither rich nor poor.
The very rich have their troubles,
such as unwelcome publicity and the
annovances and insults of agitators of
one kind or another, to say nothing
of the burdens imposed by the care OF
their fortunes and the enforced main
tenance OF an elaborate scale of liv-
ing.
The disadvantage aI.G discomforts of
poverty are too well known to need
more than mention as we pass on TO
consider the sorrows OF the great
middle class, to which the great bulk
OF our citizens belong.
At the present tine this large part
of our population is being ground. so
to speak between IGe upper milestone
of the necessity OF keeping up appear
ances and the neither one OF the high
cost of everything.
Our grandmothers wore calico dress
es costing not more than 70 cents. II
would now take the price OF 10 to 20
such dresses to buy a hat for one of
our daughters in high school What is
more significant, our grandmothers
earned the dresses themselves by
working perhaps a whole week at
housework. Do our young girls earn
their hats?
