Company | Has Large
Attendance at Drill

Seven full squads--65 men in all
of Company l, National Guard of
Hawaii, turned out for drill at the
Wailullu ball park last Sunday. This
is the best attendance on record for
a company drill, and Captain Kaae
was accordingly gratified. The COM
pany has a full enrolment Of about
95 men. The drill last Sunday was
very satisfactory, and Capt. Kaae feels
that his men will make a creditable
showing at the inspection which will
be held later in the month
Through the courtesy of the super
visors in permitting the use of the
county auto truck, it was possible to
get many men to the drill on Sunday
from outlying districts, who would
otherwise have been unable to attend.
County Engineer Howell has prom
ised to at once make a survey of the
site offered by the Wailuku Sugar
Company as a rifle range. The lease
will then be perfected with the fed
eral government and the boys VIII in
a short time be able to have target
practise under proper conditions.

Fraud Alleged in
Patterson Matter
Temporary Injunction Issued Restrain
ing Auditor Paying $500 to Hama
kuapOkO Store On 0rder-Bank-
ruptcy Attempt Failed.

A new turn was taken in the w. r.
Patterson bankruptcy case last Sat
urday when the attempt made by the
lao Stables and other Maui creditors
TO have Patterson declared an invol-
untary bankrupt was abandoned, and
in its place a temporary injunction
secured from the circuit court in Ho-
nolulu, restraining the Maui county
auditor from paying over to the Ha-
makuapoko Store of the Maui Agri-
cultural Company, the $500 awarded
to it by Judge Edings on mandamus
action. The injunction which was Sc
cured by Attorney Eugene Murphy on
behalf of the lao Stables Company
alleges that the Hamakuapoko Store
furnished to Patterson but S45 worth
of goods against the $500 order given
by Patterson against money due him
on county road contract. 1t further
claims that all above this $45 is a
fraud, and it demands from the com
pany an itemized account of the goods
Patterson is supposed to have secur-
ed for the $500.
The case is set for hearing in Ho-
nolulu next Monday.

Rubber in
N ahiku is
Abandoned
Continued Low Prices For Product
Finally Convinces Stockholders
Efforts Are FutiIe-WiII Not Dis
pose of Land at Present.

Rubber culture in Hawaii, which
held out so much proIhise when it was
started nine or teJ years ago, has
definitely been declared a failure.
Long continued low prices for the
product has been mostly responsible
for this failure to show profits.
The Nahiku Rubber Company, which
has been the leading concern engaged
in the undertaking, formally made
this pronouncement when its stock
holders, at their annual meeting last
Friday, voted to abandon the under
taking. The decision was rot err-
pii'e, as tie directors had suspended
operations some weeks ago, diBclaI g.
ing all of tle laSorerG, and putting the
oaIT pany's p: ,ert" in charge OF a
caretaker. This Il tl1a lows the al.
most complete failure of the roselle
crop last fall on which the last hopes
had been centered
II is not likely that the company
will be Immediately disbanded, now
ever, as it is still believed tina. the
land owned will prove to have high
value for stock raising or other agii.
cultural purpose. The company al.
ready has start made with cattle
and it also has q small herd of hogs
which apparently thrive well. The
likelihood seems to he that the land
will be leased for ranch purposes.
But rubber is to be thing of tie
past. The thousands of trees which
have been planted will Re abandoned
or removed in case the land is needed
The NahsSu company shareholders
have put into the enterprise some
thing like SEQ 0OC, while the several
oiher concerns iu the Nahiku dis
trict, which had all virtually abandon
ed the struggle some time ago, have
probably sustained a loss of as much
or more. The success OF the roselle
| crop year ago was so encouraging
'tat it was believed the situation had
cen saved, but the excessively wet
year which followed, rendered the

ager of the company almost from the
start, and who has devoted mos

week, and will proceed to Southern
California where Mrs. Anderson has
been for some time. He still has
strong faith in roselles, and expects

Foul Murder
of Filipino
Near Hama
Three Men Held For Revolving Crime
Father of Victims Wife and An
other Filipino Hired By Woman's
Lover to Commit Deed.

Because another man coveted his
wife, Pedro Mendoza, a Filipino lab
orer on the Kipahulu plantation was
treacherously lured to his doom by
his father-in-law, and foully murdered
by hired assassin, on the morning
of February 14th, according to the
facts brought out at the coroner's in
quest held in Hama this week. Dinel
Buladao, who is alleged to have crush
ed Mendoza's skull with an iron bar;
Francisco Mira, father of the victims
wife; and William Docleros, who it is
claimed instigated the plot, are undec
arrest and will probably be brought to
the Wailuku county Jail from Hama
today.
The revolving crime was discovered
last Saturday when a Filipino living
at Makalai, about 211a miles from Ha-
ma, while engaged in digging potatoes,
discovered the badly decomposed re-
mains partially buried in the field
near the government road. Sheriff
Crowell, who visited Hama the first of
this week on stumping tour, at once
took up the case, with the result that
the guilt was apparently firmly fixed
on the three men, and they were under
arrest by Wednesday evening. All of
the parties to the gruesome tragedy
are Filipinos.
n CT h,,n,r rtrbf
out at the inquest, Docleros had be
come smitten by the charms of An
gela Mendonza, wife of Pedro, and he
finally conspired with Francisco Mira,
father of the woman, to put Mendoza
out of the way. Dinei Buladao was
hired to commit the murder and Mira
accepted 50 for guiding Mendoza to
his doom. On Sunday morning, Feb
ruary "a, Mendoza was accordingly
persuaded to accompany his father-in-
law from Kipahulu to Hama OH some
pretext, and Buladao, concealed by
the roadside struck him down from
behind as he passed. The body was
then dragged into the field and buried
in a shallow grave scooped out with
a hoe which Mira carried.
The wife of the dead man was told
that her husband had deserted her,
and had left the island, and she in
turn reported this to the police in XII
pahulu. After the discovery of the
body she positively identified it from
the clothing.

Pineapple Growers to
Farm =Operatively
W. |. Wells Heads New Organization as
Manager-.K -.Kuiaha Homesteaders Be-
Iieve They Have Solved KnOtty
Problem of Holding Down Costs.

A plan of cooperative farming is
soon to be actively undertaken in the
Kuiaha homestead district The idea
is something of a novelty in the Is
lands and its results will doubtless be
watched with much interest. Some
dozen or more of the settlers are in
terested in the project, and others are
expected to join.
The object of the association is
chiefly to raise pineapples on a CO
operative basis as far as the planting
and cultivating is concerned. The or.
ganization will undertake to do all
the work connected with the business
from the plowing the ground to the
marketing of the crop, and the mem.
bers will be charged their pro-rata
of the cost. w. l. Wells, one of the
leading homesteaders in the district
has been appointed manager of the
company on salary, and he will de-
vote his entire time to the work.
II is the belief of those interested
in the enterprise that a large saving
in teams and equipment can thus be
effected over what would be possible
through individual effort. The asso
citation is actively backing up the bill
now before the Legislature which pro
vides for legally chartering cooper
ative associations, along lines now in
force in many of the mainland states.
If this bill becomes law the associa-
ton believes that it will be enabled
to safeguard its interests in such man
ner that its success will be practical
ly assured.

EVENING.

For the purpose of raising funds to

young students at the Maunaolu Semi

has been arranged for this evening by
the alumnae of the institution, which
promises to be one of the most pleas
ant occasions of the season. A very
fine musical program has been pre-
pared under the direction of Mrs. w.
H. Field, who is chairman of the com
mittee in charge of the affair. A novel

Stop Scalp Itch
and Falling Hair

People whose hair looks dull and
lifeless and who find it growing dry,
brittle, splitting at ends and coming
out fast at every combing need a
genuine scalp invigorator and should
get one without days delay. A lit
tie Partisan Sage rubbed briskly into
the scalp with the finger tips twice
daily will work wonders for hair of
this kind. Just few days use and
the hair becomes glossy and healthy
looking, dandruff vanishes, scalp
stops itching and hair stops falling
out. Partisan Sage is more than
hair tonic. 1t is Il scalp treatment
and its use means strong, beautiful
hair and a healthy scalp. w. l.. Go
kay and leading druggists every
