CLAIMS HE WAS OFFERED 81, 900
TO PLEAD GUILTY FOR ELLIS

Making public what is believed to
have been a desperate attempt to
save the memory of a murdered wo-
man from stain at expense of the life
of man, her alleged slayer, Attor-
ney George Remus, counsel for VIM.
Cheney Ellis, yesterday said he had
been offered $1,000 to plead guilty
on behalf of his client, who is charg-
ed with killing his wife here last Oc-
tober.
Remus refused the Offer" which
he said was occasioned by his state
ment that in defense of Ellis he would
prove that Mrs. Ellis confessed to her
husband her love for another man.
'Transitory" insanity and not
emotional" insanity, as was at first
announced, will be Ellis defense,
Remus said today.

of saving" money.
The salaries settled by law can
not be touched, so the chairman of
the board and the solons still con-
tinue to draw their monthly stipend
and expenses. The clerks, over
seers and all others have been re-
duced as to pay, and the total saw
ing will come to a few hundred
dollars per month.
Even the monthly pittance of the
county physician has been reduced
and only one man, the county en-
gineer, escaped a reduction. The
solons decided to give the engineer
a lump sum per month and he will
pay for incidental expenses that he
incurs. In the eyes of the rest Of the
county employees, the county
engineer is the lucky one, All the
reductions are to date from Jan

COUNTY EMPL LOYEES SUFFER
REDUCTION In SALARIES
Board of Supervisors Make Cut Of Ten Per Cent
Police Pay Not Reduced on Account of Smaller
Force Employed

There is much pilikia among the
county employees, ,and the action of
the board of supervisors in reducing
all salaries ten per cent, has caused
weeping and gnashing of teeth, so
to speak. The shock came when,
at the meeting of the board, this
week, the solons decided that the
way to save money was not to cut
down on expenditures for high
priced machinery and automobiles,
but to cut the wages of the men who
earn anything from fifty dollars a
month up. Final action on the
matter is to oe taken on Janu-
airy %. The police department
was not cut-that is as regards in
dividuals-but vacancies on the
force will not be filled. In that way
the police officers retain their pre-
sent pay, but the department is
crippled somewhat by the method

Civic CONVENTION Will
BE- HELD ON JULY 4, 5, 6
Big Gathering of Island Boosters to Convene at WaI-
Iuku-W Visitors Will See Horse Races in Addition
to Other Interesting Things.

Maui will celebrate in double
form on July Fourth and, besides
the big bunch of visitors to the
races, there will also be two or three
hundred Civic Convention delegates
on this island. This was all decided
upon at the meeting of the special
committee that was held at the
Baldwin National Bank on We'd
nesday last. The next civic con-
vention is to last from the morning
of July Fourth to the evening of
July 6, and the delegates from Ha-
waii, Oahu and Kauai, will have a
chance to see the best horse races of
the year besides doing the work
they are coming to this island to
do.
July 4, 5 and 6 were the days
chosen, and it was the sense of the
meeting that it would be better to
have the convention then, than on
any other dates.
Chairman F. Il. Baldwin presided
at the meeting and all the members
were present. There was consider
able discussion as to the best date
on which to hold the convention
and, eventually, the decision before
mentioned was arrived at.
The question of get together"
dinner was brought up, and it was
decided to have such an affair on
the evening of Thursday, February
5. A committee consisting of Sen
ator H. B. Penhallow, r. A. Wads-
worth and E. R. Bevins was ap-
pointed to make arrangements. 1t
was felt that such a dinner would
be a splendid idea, and that at the
affair the various committees could
place their ideas on the manner in
which the convention is to be han
died, before the rest of the people
of Maui.
A secretary was appointed ard E.
R. Bevins will, in future, handle
all the correspondence regarding the
convention. R. A. Wadsworth was
elected vice-chairman and Harold
w. Rice was elected treasurer. Mr.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1914-01-17

Rice has power to appoint his own
committee, and he will select men
who will be able to attend to diff
ferent districts. 1t is realized that
large sum of money will be need
ed, and all the people of Maui will
be asked to contribute. If every
body helps, there will not be much
of burden on individuals.
A committee consisting of r. A.
Wadsworth. J. J. Walsh and e. r.
Bevins was appointed by the chair
man to look into the matter of the
convention program, general ar
rangements and entertainment of
the delegates while they are on
Maui. Another committee on ac-
commodation was appointed, and
w. S. Searby is the lone member.
His duties will be to find out just
what accommodation can be secured
from all the hotels and boarding
houses on Maui.
1t is known that hotel accommo-
dations are very limited and that a
big crowd of three hundred, or
even two hundred people would tax
the capacity of every hotel, board
ing house and private house on
Maui. Still, it is felt that way
will be devised to meet the rush,
and to show the visitors that the
people of this island can do thing
when they set their mind to it.
1t is probable that the civic con.
vention will be held in the Wailuku
Armory. That building is thought
to be the best place available. Auto
mobiles and railroads will handle
the crowd. There will be excursions
to lao, Haiku, Kula and many
other places. The delegates will be
tired but happy bunch when they
board the steamer for Honolulu or
July 6.
Chairman Baldwin has called an
other meeting for Wednesday, Feb
ruary 4, and other matters will ther
be taken up which will be reported
on to the gathering at the Dime,
the next evening.

Driver Was
Very Coo

Presence of mind is good thing
and, while many men would lose
their heads, after an automobile
collision i'll which their car was cap
sized, Nishimura, the well known
chauffeur, did nothing of the sort.
Crawling from beneath his over
turned car, Nishimura emerged
with a piece of paper and a pencil
in his hand and chased the other
machine down the road.
1t seems, from the police story,
that Nishimura was coming in from
Waikapu way, when Joe Correa also
hiked along in his Packard car,
Joe declared that Nishimura must
have been asleep. At anyrate, when
Joe tried to pass the japanese car
he found that there was not enough
room, as the front of his car hit the
left hind wheel of the other machine
and after pushing the car along for
sixty feet or so, capsized d it, an
proceeded on for forty feet farther.
Nishimura who, for a moment,
was pinned under his Ford car,
then emerged with blood in his eye
and a piece of paper and a lead
pencil in his hand. Even as he
crawled out on his knees, the cool
and collected japanese was observ-
ed to be writing down the number
of the other car. The spectators who
saw the accident, rushed down tc
help the japanese but. before they
could reach the spot Nishimura was
out with his little paper and pencil
The car of the Japanese was bad
ly damaged, but the Packard sus,
tanned no injury. There will be al
interesting case before Judge Nc,
Kay next week.

Mrs. Ralph Walker and Kenneth
Smi tn then followed with a music
hall sketch that went well. Ken y
is a comedian, alright.
Miss Wodehouse, dressed as a
man, and Miss Starkweather, then
gave an exhibition of the Castle
Walk" 1t was well executed, and
deserved the applause the act got.
The third part of the program
was another comedy, Stormy
Weather." and Mr.. and Mrs. White
showed professional ability in it..
The play was a roar from start to
finish, and the climax was well
worked up to. Mr.. Willard, who
played the part OF a chauffeur from
the insane asylum, put the finishing
touch on the comedy.
The fourth and last part Of thepro-
gram was an Indian scene in which
Mr.. and Mrs. George Weight, Jr.,
acted and sang well. Mrs. Weight,
although a trife nervous, used her
soprano voice to great advantage.
Miss Wodehouse and Miss G. Won
Tempsky gave an exhibition of the
modified Tango" the exhibition
was good, and of the kind that
would not offend the biggest
"Wooser" in the world.
Mrs. Jones, who was the live
wire of the whole show, did great
work and besides managing the
affair, sang and danced during
several of the acts. She showed that
she is no novice behind the foot
lights, and fully deserved the ap-
plause she got. Her swing song,
at the conclusion of the show was,
perhaps, the best of her efforts.

Amateurs Did
Good Work
Vaudeville Show at KahuIui Drew
Big Attendance Many Clever
Acts.

There is no doubt that the anna
teurs of Maui can put up a grand
theatrical show, and the performance
at the Kahului Lyceum last Satur-
day night was a first class affair.
The amateurs did good work, and
they all put their best efforts forth.
The program was divided into four
parts and each act was much
applauded.
Twenty minutes in Paris cafe"
opened the ball and it was a fine
little act, which gave several of the
performers a chance to do character
parts. The opening chorus was
good and the visitors to the cafe all
Joined in. The tables wer decorated
with all that goes with cafe, and
Kenneth Smith, the waiter made a
hit by his antics. Mrs. S. B. Kings
bury sang a catchy little song with
Il swinging chorus. Mrs. Weight
sang I'm peu d'amour, in sweet
fashion. George Murray recited a
stirring piece.
An exhibition of the Hesitation
Waltz" by Mr.. and Mrs. c. c,
Campbell, opened the second act Of
the program. The graceful dancing
of the pair was much applauded
Then came a comedy, Mrs. For

instant hit. The efforts of Mrs,

the schooner and did the necessary
work. All vessels from South
American ports have to be fumigat-
ed in order to prevent any yellow
fever carrying mosquitoes from get
ting to land.
The Inter. Island steamer, Clau-
dine, also had an exciting expert
ence. She arrived on time on
Tuesday morning at Kahului She
left, as usual, for Hama but could
not make that port. The sea was
running mountains high and the
captain decided to pass by and run
to a safe haven. The steamer was
put into Lelekea bay and remained
there overnight. On Wednesday
morning the Claudine made Hama,
and it was then discovered that she
was leaking badly and that some
barrels of lime in the hole were on
fire. Water was pouring in and
the steamer was in a bad plight. 1t
was at first thought that she would
have to be beached at Hama but,
later on, it was decided to run for
Honolulu. The steamer, therefore,
sailed direct from Hama for Honolulu
and did not call at Kahului.
One story has it that the Claudine
struck the reef and punched hole
in her bottom. Other reports state
that the vessel sprung some plates
during the time she was bucking
the heavy seas. At anyrate, it is
known that the ship had about
three feet of water in her hole when
she sailed for Honolulu. A large
amount of freight was damaged by
water and the lime was all destroyed.

Big Ball
Game Today

This afternoon on the Wailuku
diamond, there will be a game of
baesball that will make the fans sit
up and take notice. The All Maui
team will go up against the Pick
ed nine, and the battery of the
latter outfit will be Foster Robinson
and Alvin Robinson. The chance
to see Foster in action will, no doubt,
be grabbed by every baseball fan
who can possibly get away from his
job for couple of hours.
Manager Harold Rice is rounding
his team into shape rapidly, and
the men are not only getting plenty
of practise, but are also being treat
ed to long distance runs that will
help to put their wind" in good
order.
The game this afternoon will be-
gin at two-thirty o'clock, and the
go should be well worth seeing.
The Picked" bunch will have
strong lineup and the battery will
be the strongest the bunch has had
for many a long day. The All
Maui boys will have to put forth
their best efforts in order to be on
the long end of the score at the
score at the finish of the game.

Fierce storms have ragged around
the coast of Maui for over a week
and, although there were no wrecks,
there were many narrow escapes.
The wind blew with terrific force, and
the surf ran very high all the time.
The waves at Kahului were very
rough, and the water washed over
the breakwater most of the time.
The absolute need for western
breakwater was shown by the man
ner in which Kahului harbor was
agitated this week.
The schooner Columbia, from
Caleta Buena, South America, and
consigned to Alexander & Baldwin,
with nitrates, had Il bad time in
making port. The waves washed
over her and some railing was car
ried away. The health officials of
Kahului port had an exciting time
when they went out to fumigate
the vessel. DR.. Osmers and J. l.. Os-
mer took out fumigating apparatus
and the pilot also went along. The
tug was tossed about in a terrible
fashion, and at least one of the party
was laid out from seasickness. The
waves washed over the tug and,
when she got alongside the schooner
it was found impossible to boart
her. One wave almost deposited
the tug on the deck ofthe Columbia
Seeing that it would be impossible
to gain the deck of the schooner
the fumigating party returned t
shore again. On the next morning
the doctor went out again, anC
sanitary inspector Osmer went will
him. This time the party BOARDED

Especial Correspondence }

HONOLULU, Jan. 16.-This cold
weather we are experiencing brings
to my mind some of the wintry
days on the Atlantic Coast. There
were days then when it sometimes
happened, while crossing the river
on the ferry, that the engines, or
some part of the machinery was
caught on a center" the wheels
stopped moving, the paddles re-
mained still, and the part above
the upper deck that moved up and
down with every revolution of the
wheel, stood quiet. When there
was ice in the river, the ride across
was anything but pleasant, and the
passengers hugged the cabins, stuffy
though they were. In q way the
work stood still until the engines
were fixed, and then the boat
rushed ahead. As a similie | recall
the recent action of Brother Patty,
of the Anti Saloon Keepers Union.
Patty has been an earnest worker in
the cause of temperance; he is still
but, just now, he is caught on a
center and his part of goodness in
the cause seems to be at standstill
because he went too far.
FOOL IDEA.
1t seems like an original idea; so
original that | do not believe it has
ever been given thought of out of the
Territory, and never will. Brother
George wanted to play tag; he
wanted to have the Order of Booze
Fighters tag themselves 50 the world
in Hawaii would know they were
refused a drink in a saloon, and the
button which the law would compel
them to wear in their respective
buttonholes, would be a plea for a
private sup of dago red on the quiet,
Good thing, wasn't it? Who, but
a fanatic, would conceive such a
thing unless it be q man who is
paid to keep things agitating and
must do something to earn his pay
I've a lot Of respect for Patty; a lot
of disgust for the man who cannot
keep away from liquor, and | have
to learn that the presence of a but
ton announcing the fact that he is
tabu in a liquor shop would separ-

ate him from the booze--if he want
ed it. We have had a tabu list
here for as long as | can remember;
some of the brightest men in the
city have been on it and died in the
gutter, fguratively speaking, before
their names had been taken from
the list. Ask Billy Fennell; talk
to Johnny Martin and learn what
his experience has been in handling
drunks. Mr.. Patty went to the
point of making himself ridiculous
in the eyes of even conservative
persons in Honolulu; even the at
torney generals department failed
to suppress a smile when the but
ton idea was suggested. The great
est surprise l bad, when | read the
story in a Honolulu paper, was
that Mr.. Patty had not substituted a
red coat for the button; one would
be as reasonable as the Other and,
in this cold weather, fellow would
not go about without his coat.
POLITICS.
Honolulu merchants have had a
moments excitement during the
past week over the election of a
president of the organization which
is soon to be merged into the
Chamber of Commerce. At the
election of Board Of Directors last
week, George Guild, a very live
wire in the Merchants Association
and one who was in line for the
presidency, was defeated for the
directorate and, consequently, his
chances for the highest position
were nil. George has worked fol
the interests Of the association and,
consequently the city, for many
months. 1t is a question if there
ever was a man in the directorate
who gave as much of his time tC
furthering the interests of the asso.
citation, so that his defeat was Il sur.
prise to all but the two who engi,
neered it and afterwards denied
completely in the undertaking. Yor
see Guild knows who did the trick
aud why. He remembers thai
when he was elected vice president
over another, who wanted the place
