japanese
Editor Sued
For Libel
Attorney Eugene Murphy Claims His
Reputation is Injured to Extent of
$4,000 by Maui Shimbun's S ver-
sion of the MoIokaiFish Pond Story

T. Kaneko, who is known as the
editor and proprietor of the recently
revived Maui Shimbun, has been sued
in the Second Circuit Court Off S10,-
600 damages for SANDER, by Attorney
Eugene Murphy. Murphy alleges in
his complaint that the Maui Shimbun
published an article recently whirh
attacked his good name and profes-
sional reputation in manner that
nothing less than $4,000 can asuage.
Editor Kaneko's stumbling block
was the story published in the Maui
News two weeks ago concerning the
legal miXup over the ownership of a
fishpond lease on Molokai. Murphy,
in the interest of his client, a Japa-
nese, brought suit against the agents
of another Japanese who had pur-
chased the lease at sheriff's sale, for
damages, on the grounds that, in the
sale of the pond the fish in it had not
been included. An English transla-
tion of the Shimbun's article on the
subject, indicates that the editor did
MT stop with translating the Maui
News story, but took occasion to con-
demn Murphy in no uncertain terms
and to warn all Japanese against hav-
ing dealings with him. The article
then naively states that the Murphy
in question is the same person who
recently filed an attachment on some
piece of printing machinery in the
Shimbun Office, on account of an al
legged debt

Political
Pot Begins
to Bubble
West Withdraws From Race as Super
visor and George Maxwell Jumps in
Fight For Craftsmanship Causes
Much Speculation.

w. Leslie West, who was reported
to be in the race for county super
visor, announced this week that he
will not run. West states that his
friends have urged his candidacy, but
that he finds it will be impossible
this year to spare the time either 10
make the fight or to personally at
tend to the county's interests later,
should he be elected.
A god deal of inerest centers in
the three cornered fight for the chair
manship of the board. 1t is .gener-
ally believed that Kalama has a for
midable opponent in George Copp,
and the friends of Judge Kalua are
taking much comfort in this fight, on
the ground that Kalama and Copp
will defeat each other.
Although there has been a lot Of
individual hustling during the past
week, among the various candidates,
it is predicted that week after next
when the next weeks board meeting
is out OF Jne way, VIII see I0e real
stumping OF the county begin.
George Maxwell, is a new entry in
the race for supervisor, getting into
the game, as he puts it, in w. l..
Vests shoes, who has withdrawn.
A good deal of speculation centers
upon DR.. RaymonG's chances. AS the
Doctor says, he is virtually bound to
make the race, having been appointed
by the Governor to fill an unexpired
term. A large number of republican
votes will no doubt go his Say in the
primary and also in the election, and
there are number of republicans
working hard for his election on the
theory that party politics have no
place in a county election, where the
good of the county is all that really
should be considered.
Dave Fleming, of Honolua, is be-
lieved to stand good chances in his
race for supervisor, although some
profess to believe that Pali's candi-
dacy from the same district will cut
into his strength.

Surprise Party in
Honor Popular Lady

Although she had not forgotten the
important event, Mrs. Millie B. Hair
little dreamed that more than hun
dred of her friends had also remem.
bered it, until they arrived before her
Hamakuapoko home last Tuesday
evening in a regular auto parade, with
an orchestra, refreshments, and a
shower of gifts, and took possession
honor of her birthday anniversary,
and as a surprise it was magnificent
success. 1t also proved to be one of
the most thoroughly delightful parties
of the season.
The popular guest" of honor was
the recipient of many beautiful birth
day gifts, among which was a splen-
did koa table, a joint present from a
number of her friends in the COM
munity. The Rev. A. Craig Bowdish
made the presentation of this gift in
most happy and appropriate manner,
expressing the sincere sentiments of
all present.
In the short program which had
been arranged, Mrs. ]. p. Foster and
Mr.. Stanley Livingston sang num-
Der of selections that were much en-
joyed. The balance of the evening
was spent in dancing. In departing
the merry party harmoniously insist
ed in declaring the popular matron
"a jolly good fellow, which nobody
had the slightest wish to deny. and
in giving her three cheers as the auto
parade rolled away

farmers to
Have StrOT1q
Federal Aid
Part Of Governments Strategical Po-
Iicyto Make Islands Independent as
tOFOod Supply--Prof. Krauss Holds
Much Encouragement to Farmers.

That the future of the small farmer
it does today, and that the man who is
willing to apply himself intelhgently
to the problems of producing food pro-
ducts in these islands is to have such
backing as was never before Offered,
were among some of the many inter
esting statements made by Prot. z
G.. Krauss, of the Hawaii rvpar ment
station, in an address delivered be-
fore the Haiku Farmers ASS tation,
at the Kuiaha school k..I,n, la 4. Sat
urday night Prof Krauss was some
what guarded in his remarks in this
connection, but he assured his hear rs
that provision would be made for TAX
ing care of very great quontlty OF
miscellaneous produce, and that
through the Federal department of
agriculture an unusual amount O: as
sistance in growing these things may
be expected.
Prof. Krauss Indicated that it is
the definite aim of the federal gov
ernment to make the Islands as near
ly Independent of imported food sup
plies as may be possible; .ncsum. ly
because of the Importance that this
might be in case the nation should
ever become involved in war which
might render the bringing IN OF sup
plies from the outside di.h ul' or i'm
possible.
Prof. Krauss has just resigned from
the chair of agronomy of the College
of Hawaii to accept position with
| the federal experiment station, aud
his work will be devoted entirely from
| now on towards developing the pra =
| teal side of agriculture in the terri
| tory, and particularly on Maui To
| this end demonstration farm is now
being established il. the Kuiaha home
| stead region, where all experiments
will be upon practical farm basis.
| The money by which tbs extension
work is made possible, Prof Krauss
explained, is through special 5000
per year federal appropriation made
to the Hawaii experiment station 1t
is not part of the fund provided
for agricultural colleges in the states
under the Smith-Lever act, as had
been at first supposed, Maui, how,
ever, only gets a portion of this mon
ey, it being necessary to spread il
through the several outside stations
in the territory.
Prof. Krauss is especially interest
ed in the possibilities of producing
various legumes in the Islands, mad
some of his rst work in this connec
ton will be along these lines. With
the low price OF pineapples during
the past year, and poor outlook fol
better prices for at least several years
to come, there is every indication thai
there will be no lack of Interest
among homesteaders and others in tho
new demon stration work.

HEAVY SEA ON WINDWARD SIDE

Reports from Hama yesterday after
noon were to the effect that the worst
wind-storm in ten years was raging,
and that the sea was breaking badly
over the landing, and threatening to
do considerable damage.
At Kahului the sea was coming over
the breakwater all afternoon IN great
volume. The harbor, however, was
fairly quiet, although should the wind
shift further into the north it was
feared that shipping in the har5or
would have trouble.
