Judge Edings is to
Stay on Maui Bench
Whitney Gets ReappOintment EdingS
Was to Have Had-RumOred Clem
Quinn Slated for EdingS, Place.

Judge Edings is not to leave Maui.
He received a cable from the depart
ment of justice on Friday of last week
advising him of the fact that it would
be satisfactory for him to remain on
the Second Circuit bench if he cared
to, and to this the Judge quickly re-
iterated his personal wishes in this
connection. In urging him to take the
place of Judge Whitney on the First
Circuit Court, the department evil
IDENTIFY believed it was Offering him a
promotion, but Judge Edings does not
take this view OF the matter.
Quickly following Judge Edings' re-
ply, Attorney General Gregory cabied
to Judge Whitney that he would be
recommended for reappointment if he
cared to take the place, and the new
appointment came by cable the follow
!, ing day. Judge Whitney had been pre-
viously advised by the attorney gene
raj that he was not to be reappointed
| but it is evident that the expressions
of popular disapproval to this course
combined with the dearth of eligible
material in the democratic ranks
brought about a reversal of this de-
| cision.
AS reported last week by wireless
| Judge A. G. NJ. Robertson has been
also reappointed, despite the reports
that Jeff McCarn was slated for the
Job, and the last news is that Judges
Parsons and Matthewman OF Hawaii
will also not be displaced.
1t is rumored from Honolulu that
under the first plans for the reorgan
ization OF the Hawaii judiciary, Attor
ney Glen Quinn, of Honolulu, hao
been selected for Judge Edings' place
on the Maui bench.

Suit Filed Against
County for $4,000
Charles Reinhardt Claims Damages
for Injuries Received in Falling
Into Washed Out Road at Hama.

A suit for $4,000 damages for per-
sonal injuries sustained, was filed in
the circuit court on Thursday against
the County, by Charles Reinhardt, OF
Hama. The case will come up for
trial at the October term. d. II. Case
and Enos Vincent are attorneys for
the plaintiff.
The case is the result of alleged neg
ligence on the part of the county in
leaving a deep ditch in the road near
Hama unprotected by barrier or light.
Reinhardt, who is sugar boiler for the
Kaeleku Sugar Company, walked into
this hole in the dark, on July 20, had
three ribs broken and was otherwise
badly hurt, and has not yet recovered
from his injuries. The hole into which
he fell was caused by the washing out
of culvert across the road during the
storm in April, and was about 10 feet
deep. 1t is claimed that the county
neglected to safeguard this place, and
Reinhardt walked into it, The roac
at this point has not yet been re
paired.

Mckay Disqualified?
Murphy Raises Point

On the grounds that District Magis-
trate w. A. Mckay, of the Wailuku
district court, is not legally qualified,
Attorney Eugene Murphy this week
challenged the courts jurisdiction in
the assumpsit suit of Hirotsu VS. Chi
nen. Murphy contends that the law
requires that a district magistrate
shall also hold license to practise
in the district courts as an attorney,
and that to do this a practitioner
mus the licensed by the circuit court
every two years. Judge Mckay was
licensed to practise in the district
courts in 1909, according to Murphy,
and has not had the permit renewed
since that time. Other attorneys hold
however, that this ground is not well
taken, in that a district magistrate is
not permitted to practise as an attor-
ney, and that in the present case,
Judge Mckay was only recently reap,
pointed, without this requirement
Murphy announces that he will carry
the matter before the higher courts
for decision.

Officials
Get Spilled
At Lahaina
Dangerous Nature of West Maui Land
ing Again DemOnStrated-Inter-
Island Superintendent and Federal
Inspectors in CapSized Boat.

Dumped into a moderately heavy
surf when boat of the steamer Maui
ma Kea capsized last Wednesday even
ing, Joseph E. Sheedy, general super
intendent of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company; Capt. Frank NJ
Berg, assistant wharf superintendent
of the same company; T. ]. Heeney,
United States inspector of boilers;
and Capt. VIM. Howe, United States
inspector of boilers, were given an eX-
ceedingly realistic demonstration of
the treacherous character of the La
haina landing.
Fortunately the accident amounted
to nothing more serious than thor
ough ducl1ing for the officials. 1t oc-
Cured within a few yards of the wharf
and while some fifty or more passen-
gers. men, women and children, were
being landed and taken aboard the
Mauna Kea Besides the members OF
the boat crew, the official party were
the only occupants of the swamped
boat.
1t is understood that Mr.. Sheedy and
Capt. Berg were demonstrating to the
government officials the manner in
which the fatal accident of May l
occurred, when two deck passengers
were drowned while making a landing
at Lahaina. Iona, the Hawaiian boat
steerer, who had charge of the boat
on that occasion, was also at the steer
ing oar on Wednesday. The demons
tration was of course great success.
The drenched inspectors were quickly
helped ashore by persons on the wharf
and were supplied with a change OF
clothing by Mine Host Freeland and
others, which, if the fit was trifle
faulty, was at least dry.
The spill was not near the point
where the Japanese woman and Chi
nese man lost their lives, but prac
tically in the course of the boats max
ing the usual landing. The surf is
said to have been little heavier than
normal, but not nearly as heavy as
at times when passengers are trans
ferred between shore and ships.
Damage at McGregor's.
The landing at McGregor's was also
attended by slight accident on Wed
nesday evening, when a freight boa
engaged in taking on a cargo of tart
was iammed against the landing will
such force that all the oars on on'
side were broken. One member o
the crew had a narrow escape iron
being caught between the boat ant
the wharf. Only part of the freigh
was taken The landing pier was sub
jected to severe bombardment b.
the heavy swell, and some damage i
reported.
Passengers from McGregor's wer
subjected to a rather severe nervou
strain, but all made the transfe
without accident
The storm of Wednesday on tn
south coast increased in violence dun
ing Wednesday night, and before
subsidized a portion of the p,anling o
McGregor's landing was torn Off an
carried away, while the driveway a
the shore end of the wharf was flooC
ed with water. Reports from Kihe
are to the effect that the landing q
that point was smooth throughout tn
storm.

Supervisors Balk
At Sunday Movies
Hear Discussion on Subject and Then
Postpone ACtiOn-Pali Thinks Free
Show Would Be All Right.

Following a spirited debate occu-
pying an hour and a half or more. the
county supervisors, on Monday once
more declined to take action on the
matter of Sunday moving pictures,
and laid it over to the September
meeting of the board. Supervisor
Pail expressed himself as willing to
favor the proposition provided the
movies men would not make a charge
for Sunday performances. Supervisor
Fleming does not favor acting on the
matter on the grounds that the last
legislature evaded responsibility by
passing the buck up to the counties
a bit of moral cowardice which he re-
sents.
The Town Hall was well filled when
the matter was brought up at noon
on Monday, when letter from George
Freeland, manager of several moving
picture houses in the Lahaina dis
trict, petitioning for the Sunday privi-
lege, was read Mr.. Freeland was
present in person and backed up his
written arguments by statements in
which he apparently showed that the
demand in his district for this Sunday
| amusement was all but unanimous.
| He stated that the large proportion of
| the population is Japanese and other
| Orientals, and that the churches could
| not hope to get many Of them to Sun
day evening services in any event.
Rev. A Craig Bowdish, of the Maka.
wac Union Church, and Rev. r. B.
| Dodge, of the Wailuku Union Church
| spoke against the plan, basing their
opposition on the grounds that Sunday
shows would tend to lower the moral
| standard of the community. They ar
gued much against the character OF
| pictures shown. Rev. John Kalino also
| spoke in Hawaiian along the same
| lines.
D. H. Case and Will J. Cooper spoke
in favor of the privilege being granted
on the grounds that the performances
not fit to be given on Sunday night
were not fit to be given at any other
time; and that the people should have
a right to spend their Sunday even
ings at a moving picture show if they
feel so inclined, inasmuch as it coulC
not interfere with the rights of others
1t was argued that the shows Nigh
be real moral asset in that they
would supply decent form of amuse
ment for young people on Sunda!
nights, where at present there is moth
ing at all unless one chooses to go I,
church.
The discussion became rather acri
monious once or twice between tn
Rev. Bowdish and Mr.. Freeland. TIL
latter offered to undertake to get III
a petition to show the sentiment O
the people in favor of the Sunda
shows 1t is rumored that the Mau
movie men will undertake to get u
petition covering the whole of MAJ
which they believe will be overwIieln
ingsy favorable to their side of tn
question.

Olinda Reservoir
May Be Unfeasible
Lack of Suitable Foundation Causing
Worry to Loan Fund Engineers
May Change Site.

That the building of a reservoir at
Olinda for the Ku,a pipe line may
prove impracticable, is the report now
current as a result of Investigations
of the past two weeks carried on by
the engineers of the loan fund COM
mission. 1t is stated that excavations
to a depth of Is or 20 feet show moth
ing but soil on the site where it is
proposed to build the reservoir dam.
Whether or not it will be possible to
build a permanent structure on such
a foundation is questioned. 1t is pos
sible that another location may be
found, but this is indefinite at the
present time.

Kula Water May Be
Stolen is Report
RumOr of Many Unauthorized Con-
nectiOns Exist Which May Account
for Big Water Loss.

The question of what has become OF
the 100000 gallons of water which
go into the Kula pipe line every quar-
ter, according to the meter at the in
take, and for which no record is on
the county books, is TO lie the sub
jet of An investigation by tie Suptr
visors committee. Engineer Howell
stated at the board meeting on Mon
day, that lie is certain that the Zig
meter does not register properly on
account of the air which enters with
the water. There is, however, a per-
sistent rumor that the pipe line and
its various branches has a large NUM-
bei of private connections never au-
thorized by the county, or at least not
recorded on the county books, and for
which no return has ever been made.
There is no doubt that this report will
be fully investigated

Want No Repairs on
McGregor's Landing
Petition Sent to HarbOr Board Pro-
testing Against Spending $4,000
Appropriation.

A petition addressed to the board
of harbor commissioners was in cir
culation on Maui this week, asking
that the $4,000 appropriated by the
last Legislature for the reconstruction
of McGregors' Landing be not used.
The paper was largely signed, parti-
cularly with names of Paia and Puu-
meme citizens, as well as those of resi-
dents of the Kihei district
The petitioners claim that the Nc
Gregor landing is not needed, and that
the location is not a good one, and
that the expenditure of any money to
repair it is not justified.

Walsh Not Impressed
By Kula Haleakala Route

]. ]. Walsh, of Kahului, who made
the trip OF the summit of Haleakala
last Sunday by way of Kula, does not
believe that this is the proper route
for the new mountain road. 1T did
not impress me as having any mater
ial advantage over the Olinda route, -
states Mr.. Walsh, except the sole ad-
vantage that it will usually be dry
where Olinda may more often be wet
But the road through Kula will never
be what can be considered good, un-
less it is macadamized, for the simple
reason that it is so dry"
