PrOmOtiOniStS Would
Have Outside Members
Plan To Give Places On Board TO Re-
preSentatiyes Of All Islands Work
In Territory Resolved Upon.

BY a resolution adopted by the Ia-
waii Promotion Committee last week,
it will be the aim of that body in the
future to devote more of its energies
towards encouraging tourist travel
among the various islands than it has
done in the past. The committee also
discussed the matter of providing for
the appointment of a member on the
committee from each of the islands.
The resolution in question is as fol
lows:
"Resolved, That the time has ar
rived when the promotion committee
should actively, as an integral part of
its duties. take up the matter of care
and entertainment of travellers, in The
ascertaining what there is to be seen
in the Islands, how to see it and the
cost thereof, and by organizing and
promoting travel among and through
the Islands,"
In the matter of having the outside
islands directly represented on the
body, it wilt be necessary that the To.
nolulu Chamber Of Commerce amend
it's bylaws, as the promotion work is
at present handled entirely by a com
mittee OF the general Honolulu organ
ization. l.. A. Thurston, one of the
new members of the committee urged
that this action lie taken. and it will
doubtless be brought to the attention
of che chamber in the near future.
Acting Secretary Taylor, in a letter
to the Maui News, also advises that
H. Gooding Field, another new mem
Der of the committee has been named
chairman of a subcommittee on In
ter-ISland affairs which will work to
keep the different parts of the terri
tory pulling together harmoniously for
the advancement of tourist travel.

Paia Enters
Team For
1915 Series
Season To Open First Sunday In
May--But WaiIIuku is Short Han
ded-BaI and Meyer May Not
Play.

Maui's baseball season will open on
Sunday, May 2. This was determined
at an enthusiastic meeting of the
Maui Athletic Association held Tues
day evening of this week in the Town
Hall. There are to be three teams
in the race for the island honors this
year-Paia, Puunene, and Wailuku.
From all indications the season is to
be one OF the best that Maui has ever
had.
Much satisfaction is felt over the
coming in this year of Paia with a
team, after missing last year. j. NJ.
Medeiros will be manager of this or
ganization, and he has already booked
some classy players. PasChoal will
again have the management of the
strong Puunene team, While George
Cummings has undertaken to manage
the Wailullu bunch.
In-as-much as the so-Called Wailuku
taem will be made up of players from
Waikapu and Waihee, it has been pro
posed to call this team the Valley
Isles, and some are in favor OF call
ing it the Waikapus. This matter,
Manager Cummings says he will leaJe
largely up 20 the players themselves
1t is probable that neither Bal nor
Meyer will play this season on any
team. Following the meeting of the
Athletic Association, Bal stated that
he will not play on the Wailuku team,
and friends of Meyer declare that he
also will refuse to play. The Asso-
citation went on record to the effect
that players must play with the teams
of their own districts, which will con-
sequently prevent Bal and Meyer from
playing at all. It is hoped by many
that these two good men will recon
slider their decision, but Manager
Cummings states that he will have a
team in all events that will make a
good showing for itself He has also
been assured that he will have the full
backing of the association, and is con-
fident that the public will support mis-
aggregation to the last game.
The individual members of the win
ming team this year will receive as
trophies handsome watch fobs, which
have been donated by Davies & Com
parry.
Harold Rice, who is much interested
in the ..Paia team, has promised to
have lhe grounds at Paia put in good
condition, and to have the lot fenced.
He will also help in the matter of
expense of getting the teams to and
from Paia for the games that will be
played there.
A meeting of the three managers
is to be held next Monday, at which
time the schedule of games for the
season will be decided upon.

Supervisors To Issue
Proclamation Next Week

The County supervisors will meet IN
regular session next Wednesday. The
body with the exception of DR.. Ray
mond, 1nrr on Thursday afternoon in
special session to issue the necessary
proclamation for the coming election,
but decided to defer action until next
week. The passage of a special en-
abling bill on Wednesday, by the leg
islature, has made it possible to cor
rect the oversight of the issuing of
the proclamation, which under the
law should have been done not less
than so days before the election. The
new law makes 20 days sufficient time.
1t is generally believed on Maui
that enabling acts will have to be also
passed for Hawaii and Kauai, in order
to make legal the proclamations of
those counties on the same matter.
The Hawaii supervisors issued their
proclamation under date of March 13,
which is but 81 days before the cleo
ton date, and Kauai, while the date
of the instrument is all right, did not
get it promulgated within the requir-
ed time.

4 Still
UnrecoveretI

After more than week, the
ilI-fated submarine "a, still lies
on the bottom of the ocean off
Honolulu harbor with her crew
of Fl men. The lost vessel was
quickly located by means of the
oil and air bubbles that arose
from her, and later by paint
brought up on the drag chains,
and by portion of the brass
work torn off and recovered by
one of the graphing hooks.
But it has thus far been i'm
possible to raise the craft, All
after the most strenuous efforts,
until all hope of saving the
crew has been abandoned, the
proposition has settled down to
simply one of saIving the hull
and burying the bodies impris-
oned in it.
To this end the cruiser Mary
land is now being equipped in
San Francisco with wrecking
apparatus, and will probably be
here within ten days to take up
the work, for which local equip
ment proved inadequate.

HAMA SUFFERING FOR LACK OF
RAIN.

Practically no rain in Hama district
for over three weeks has put the town
of Hama up against it for drinking
water. For the past few days the mill
company has been supplying the popu
lace with brackish water from its
deep well-all the water of any kind
that it has, since the mountain
streams are completely dried up.

that island to be suffering severely

Fleming says is dryer now than he
ever saw it in July or August. Indi-
cations seem to be for an unusually
dry summer throughout the islands.

The New York Constitution.

Tie organization of the New Iorl.
convention to revise the state con-
stitution is at hand. but work will
not immediately begin. The legisla-
ture is sitting longer than was
manned, and the convention Will
await the adjournment OF that body.
Although. strictly speaking. state
affair. this convention will deal with
questions of national interest and
with national bearings, and hence its
discussions and performances Will be
followed with close attention by po-
Gtical leaders all over the country.
New Yort's example. ii we'll set, may
he copied elsewhere in cases of like
character.
Business. in particular. is looking
TO this body for the solution OF some
OF the questions which very much
need solution. Men familiar with
the latest and the largest business
methods and Developments are mem
ocrs OF the convention. Lawyers o.
note who have been for years the
advisers of corporations will partici-
pate. And the interests OF both the
wage-earners and the farmers will be
represented.
II is asserted, and probably truly,
that business has grown SO rapidly
and taken on SO many new phases.
legislators. largely unfamiliar with
the subject. have not kept pace with
the times respecting public require
ments springing from such develop
ment. Urged to do something. they
have been groping and experiment.
ing. and have missed oftener than
hit. Trust legislation is now so COM
plicatcd and confusing, business men
hardly know how to proceed. As
all roads at one time led to Rome,
to them all roads now seem to lead
70 Jail: and they have no consuming
passion for iron bars and stripes.
The republicans will control the
New York convention: and at one
time the fact was assuring to busi-
ness. Republican national policies
have, as a rule, been acceptable to
busine.. interests, and promotive of
their prosperity. But the present
legislature. also controlled by the re-
publicans, has been a disappointment
to many of those who helped elect
it; and this has produced an express
sion Of fear that the convention may
not meet the highest expectations.
As usual, politics is over all, and pol
ities was never more mixed or baf-
fling than now.
But the men who will lead the con-
vention are aware Of this feeling;
and forewarned is forearmed. Ad-
vised of what is before them, and
that the going will be difficult, they
will probably tread warily and pro-
ceed slowly. They need not hurry.

Jitneys and Car Lines.

President Hamilton Of the Capital
Traction Company in an address Sat
urday night before the Federation Of
Citizens Associations outlined the
protest Of the traction corporations
against the jitney bus on the ground
Of the unfairness of admitting this
form Of competition without regula-
ton and financial liability, while the
street railway companies are taxed
and subjected to regulation OF serv-
ice and rates. This is point of view
tina, the public should consider and
that the authorities should recognize,
although the latter are supposedly
guided by their responsibility to give
the people the best possible service
for the lowest possible rates. This

an emergency, but it should be re-
garded as making for permanent
conditions. The question to be an
swered by the public utilities COM
mission i'll this connection is. What
will be the effect FIVE years hence
Of admitting untaxed and unregu-
lated omnibus lines into the District,
upon the street railway properties
which represent an investment of
millions of the money of the people
of the District?
II the omnibus is the best form Of
traction, and will carry the people
most satisfactorily for the lowest
rates and give maximum of service,
it should be the future form of trans
portation. This means. of course,
that the street railway, with its heavy
investment in tracks, central power
stations, rolling stock, etc, will be
eventually eliminated. Can the tran
sition from the one form of traction
to another be effected without seri-
Gus loss upon the community? Or
is there a field for both fxed-traek
and omnibus fines? Can each oper-
ate at profit and give the public
the service it requires?
The question of regulation and
taxation should be answered by the
public utilities commission in respect
to the proposed bus services not e:1-
clusively with view to the fairness
of the competition, but with refer
ence to the public interests Can bet
ter service be assured to the people
through taxation and regulation?
Perhaps a period of experimentation
is needed before this question is
definitely answered, but in any case
while it is under consideration the
commission should bear in mind the
economic factor Of the investment
represented in the street railway
companies, and the effect upon the
community of a destruction of that
investment in consequence OF COM
petition that may bring to the pub
lie no great benefit and may perhaps
Weld no great profit to the pro-
moters of the new form of transpor-
tation
