of the two corporations, at which time
Mr.. Meyers resignation was accepted,
and Mr.. Prince appointed.
Mr.. Meyer is planning to leave the
territory before long on an extended
vacation in Southern California, for
the benefit of his own health and of
other members of his family, who will
accompany him. He will however re-
main for some time TO properly mi
tiate the new manager
Mr.. Prince, who is an expert ac-
countant, comes to Maui from Homo
lulu, with high recommendations. He
is a stranger on Maui. Mr.. Meyer

business. His many friends will re
gret TO see him and his family leave

Anderson Urges
Exhibit at San Diego

w. a. Anderson. until recently man
ager of the NahiSu Rubber Company,
and who is now in San Diego with his
family, where he is interested in eX-
plotting a new roselle beverage, has
written to the business community of
Honolulu urging that some effort be
made to have the Islands better repre-
sented at the Southern Californian eX-
position. Mr. Anderson states that Ha-
waii is missing a wonderful opportun-
ity for most effective promotion work
in not being officially represented at
San Diego.

WaterSpOutS Seen
Off West Maui

The unsettled weather conditions of
the past ten days has resulted in some
unusual meteoric phenomena in Vari-
GUS parts of the territory. Two large
water-spouts were observed on Sun
day evening in thS channel between
West Maui ana Molokai. They
arose sudde4ly /when very strong
winds from apparently three different
points of the compass met. d. T.
Fleming, who witnessed the phenome-
non from Honolua ranch, states that
the weather conditions at the time
were most peculiar. The aneroid
barometer fluctuated several inches
at one time, like the hand on q speed
ometer.

CI0ud-BurSt
At Hama Does
Big Damage
Over Two Feet of Rain in Less Than
Four Hours-PIantati0n Demora-
Iized and County Roads Destroyed
Rains General In Islands.

Damage which cannot yet be accu-
rately determined, but which will am
cunt 20 many thousands of dollars,
was the result of veritable cloud
burst which occurred in the Hama dis
trict last Monday. In space of less
than four hours, the official gauge at
the Kaeleku Sugar Company's mill
registered 2i.30 inches of rainfall. The
total precipitation between 6 a. m. and
noon of the same day was $3.50.
Hama is by no means dry district,
but never before has it known such a
downpour. AS a result the govern
ment roads are washed out in dozens
Of places on both sides of the town
Of Hama. The plantation railroad is
torn up, bridges arc gone. and the
canefields are quilted with streams
and gulches that never before existed.
A number of scows IN the harDor were
sunk by the over two feet of water
which fell.
Beginning with Il Sharp thunder
storm on Sunday evening, moderate
rain fell during th9 night, but about
o'clock the following morning tine
heavens opened, and for several hours
the deluge wasHterTific. The trans
portation system of the Kaeleku mill
is wrecked to such extent that it Will
possibly be another week before the
mill can resume grinding.
County Engineer Hugh Howell went
over to the stricken district on Tues.
day. He reports that the county roads
have sustained at least $4,000 worth
of damage, and the plantation proba-
bly, an equal amount. The railroad
bridge across the Kawaipapa gulcb,
about a mile west of Hama, was car.
ried out. Never before in the history
of Hama had this stream been known
to be high enough to reach the bridge.
Engineer Howell states that the storm
demonstrated that most of the bridges
in the district are too small, though
the damage these structures sustained
was comparatively light. None of the
newer concrete structures were car
ried out
The road is impossible on both
sides of Hama, on account of the ire
mendous gullies torn through them in
many places. In some places a horse
cannot pass. not to speak of a We
hicle.
Temporary repairs are being made
to the roads, and the board of super
visors will doubtless take steps at its
meeting on the 18th inst for perma

Fine Flow of Water
Opened at HOnakahau

Tunneling for water, 29O feet into
the mountain above Honokohau, last
week, a charge of dynamite suddenly
opened a single stream that has ever
since been flowing at the rate of
100000 gallons daily. The develop
ment is on the Honolua ranch lands,
and is at an elevation of over 500
feet. The water will supplement the
ditch supply furnished to the Pioneer
Mill Company.
D. T. Fleming, manager of the
ranch, states that the water tapped
has a pressure of go pounds per
square inch, and that he has hopes of
still further increasing this flow. This
is the. second successful water tunnel
developed on the ditch in the past
year, the first one supplying about 8
million gallons of water daily also

Of
Fraud in
Prin1 ary
Attorney Murphy Seeks Injunction to
Stop Coming EIeCtiOn-Make
Sensational Allegations Bevins
Says" "Mud-Singing."

On the grounds that the primary
election on March 13 was rendered IL
legal and invalid by reason of certain
alleged irregularities, and that there
fore the general election to be held
next Tuesday will also be illegal, Eu-
gene Murphy, democratic candidate
for county attorney, on Tuesday of
this week filed bill for injunction in
the Second Circuit Court, seeking to
restrain County Clerk Kaae from car
rying out the arrangements for the
election. The case was brought before
Judge Edings on Wednesday morning,
who reserved opinion on the matter
and certified the entire question to the
Supreme Court. The matter is being
handled in Honolulu before the high
er tribunal by Lorrin Andrews and p.
L. Weaver, attorneys for Murphy.
Booths Not Screened.
The institution of the action has
caused some ripple of interest among
the candidates and politicians, parti-
cularly for the reason that the allega-
tions made by Murphy are of sensa-
tional character.
The bill alleges that the voting
booths in the Fifth Precinct. Wailuku,
were not screened as required by law,
and that bystanders might note how
voter was marking his ballot.
Says Baldwin Influenced Vote.
Another specification alleges that
Frank F. Baldwin, manager of the Ha-
waiian Commercial e Sugar Com
pany,-"pretending to have a physi al
disability, to-wit, sore hand, did call
in TO assist him in marking his bal
LOT in bA 1io -,
McGarrow, tsaid McGarrow not being
an inspector, as provided by law, to
mark the said ballot for the said F. F.
Baldwin, and that the said William
McGarrow, after having marked said
ballot for said F. F. Baldwin, did work
at the said polling place at Puunene
for the election or nomination of per
sons voted for by the said Baldwin;
.....
Bevins Supplied Booze.
E. r. Bevins, republican nominee
| for county attorney, is accused in the
| bill of supplying large quantities OF
| liquor to numerous voters, particu
| larly at Paia, and of furnishing auto
mobiles for carrying able bodied vot
ers from the place of liquor supply tc
the polls, and that he did illegally EN-
ploy large sums of money, all fol
the purpose of illegally inducing vot
| ers to vote for him.
1t is not expected that the Supreme
Court will pass upon the matter priol
to the election next Tuesday, but the
fact that the bill was filed prior to the
election will make the ruling of the
court mandatory and annul the elec
ton, in case the Injunction should b,
| granted.
Just what object is back of the ac
ton of Murphy is not exactly appa
rent. since the stopping of the elec
ton could not help him to get hi
seat. Frank Baldwin is on the coas
at present. Bevins declares himsel
in the dark in the matter, and laughed
at the idea of his having furnished
large quantities of liquor" and o
having spent large amounts of none.
in his campaign. He characterized
the matter as one of mud-slinging.

BAD PLAY BY
 DOYLE COSTS GIANTS VICTORY

Boston, June 3-A prize bone pull ed by no other than Capt. Larry Doyle kept the Giants from chaIking up a victory at the expense of the Boston Braves yesterday afternoon. It was not a situation which required quick thinking either. It was sim ply an absent-n minded bit of moon shine, that's all, but it robbed the Giants of what would have been the winning tally. As it was, the game was called at the end of the tenth with the score at five each.
 This is how it happened. It was in the. Giants half of the fifth inn ing. Each team had scored four runs. After Tesreau had flied out up stepped Burns, who shot hot one to right centre and kept on to third while Magee was fumbling the ball. Then Larry Doyle lifted a, fly to Moran. in deep right. Burns was trotting home from third as Moran threw the ball toward first base af- ter the catch. To the surprise of the fans Larry nonchalant1y intercepted the throw he rounded first. When Doyle caught the ball Burns was inn mediately called out because of i'm reference.
 After this thes Braves and Giants presented each other with one more run apiece.

ENGLISH PROTEST
 AGAINST OMISSION
 OF CLASSIC DERBY

London, June 3-The first Wednes- day in June has been devoted for generations to London's great racing carnival, the Derby at Epson, and it's omission this year brought home to the citizens of the British capital with peculiar emphasis the serious crisis through which the nation is passing. The decision of the government to abandon all race meetings during the war except that at Newmarket does not meet by any means with unani- nous approval. Quite apart from per sons interested in racing because it is their occupation or means of live Hhood, large numbers are of the opin- ion that such a drastic closing down of race meetings not only is need less but inimica1> to horse breeding. They point to the fact that racing is going on as usual in Germany and contend that it's prohibition in Eng land will be regarded by her ehemles as a signal of weakness.
 Great pressure has been brought to bear on the Jockey club to obtain some ameIioration of present condt- tions in the interest of the large number of persons dependent on the turf for their livelihood. The Jockey club held a meeting yesterday after noon at Derby house to consider the situation Those presens included Lords Derby, Lonsdale and Durham. The session was executive but accord ing to unofficial reports the stewards of the club decided to maintain the present embargo.

JOE JACKSON LIKES
 SHOOTING AS WELL AS
 DELIVERING BASEHITS

New York, June 3.-Joe Jackson! The name inspires the shivers in American League pitchers; it inspires enthusiasm in the American League fan.
 When Connie Mack first pIucked Joe from the bushes, he wasn't ex- actly a green lemon, but he wasn't ripe for high baseball society. AS recall it, he had two faults; he didn't wear socks and he was troubled with omesickness. We do not think Con nie would have firtd him because of his dislike for hose, but an attack of homesickness caused him to desert, and a deserser is looked upon with about the same favor in big league baseball as he is in the army.
 After Joe recovered from Baker its (new name for aversion to wan derfng from ones own fireside), he spent a season in New Orleans, where he made Southern League duced MT. Seners to yank Joe back into the American League again, and Clev eland has doniciled the sockless sockdolager ever since. He has been about half the Cleveland team the last two years; the other half wears socks, doesn't get homesick and is very docile and inoffensive to the other seven clubs in the league.
 It takes a keen eye and steady nerves to run second to the wonder full Ty Cobb for league batting hon ors. Joe Jackson has done that sev- era1 times.
 There's a reason.
 Joe says: Next to baseball, give me a shotgun. In the field or at the traps, find great enjoyment in it's use.''
 Get the idea, MT. Wood B. SIugger? It doesn't pay for a ball player to aI- low his eye to become dim and his nerves unstrung by 8, winter of idle ness. Shooting keeps eyes in trim, nerves taut, muscles firm.
 Ty Cobb is a trapshooter and a good one; so is Speaker Chief Bender won his own game recently with two-base Diff; he spent most of his spare time all last winter trsn- shooting. Bender is some shooter too. Got 25 straight one time and 22 is easy for him.

If all the verse inspired by baseball in the last half century was made in to a string it would stretch from Kalamazoo, Mich, to Bankock in Siam. And doubtless then some. at the top of this string, holding precedence as the supreme classic of baseball lit erature is, Casey at the Bat" Ever since De Wolf Hopper popularized that famous famous poem of the dia- mond a story of controversy has rag ed over" the priority in penning those immortal -liness but majority opinion which is supported by evidence, gives the credit to Ernest L.

 So for as known, Casey was pub 1ished( in the San ~F'rans1sco Examiner twenty seven years ago today, June8, 1888. and unless further evidence is forthcoming, this is Casey's birthday. The verses were signed, "E. L. T."and this may be accepted as all but con elusive of Thayer's authorship Thay- CT lived in Worcester Mass, and was a graduate of Harvard. And it is said that the FtMudvillei' of the poem was a, part of Tanneville, near Cambridge where there was a ball field that was
 prone to become very muddy on the slightest provocation. Thayer was a c1assmate of William Randolph Hearst at Harvard, and the two were firm friends. When MT.

CRACK ANDOvER
 ATHLETE INTENDS
 TO COME TO YALE

New Haven, June 3.-With track and field sports ended for the season as far as the big prep schools and col 1eges are concerned, some anxiety is being displayed by the several colleges as to where the schoolboy stars are going to natriculate next September. The future of Lincoln T. Prescott, captain of Andover, is virtually set tied. He will go to Yale. Pres cott's intimates at Andover are com ing to New Haven, and that probably more than anything else causes him to lean toward the Blue. Prescott is the most sensational schoolboy athlete of the year.
 Clifford Rodman, the Andover hurd1er, is causing concern at various institutions. He is credited with equaling the national interscholastic record of 15 4-5 seconds for the high hurdles made by R. G. Leavitt of Mer- cersburg Academy 12 years ago. . Several other Andover boys intend to enter college. Yale being their choice. Exeter will loose only a comparatively few athletes. and they are headed towards Yale.
