Great Interest In
Today's Polo Game
Both Oahu and Maui Players and Po-
nies in Fine Condition Fleming
Will Play. Good Crowd From Maui.

The big poo game of the year.
which will be played this after
noon in Honolulu between the Oahu
and the Maui teams. promises TO ne
one of the greatest games ever played
in the Islands. This fact has been
generally recognized and the game
will doubtless be watched by a tre-
mendous crowd. Quite a large num-
Der of Maui enthusiasts, besides the
members of the team, left last night,
and strong confidence is felt that the
local knights of the mallet will be
able to bring home the bacon, in spite
of the fact that Oahu is unusually
strong this year. One cause of salts
faction is in the fact that Dave Flem-
ing will be able to play. He has not
been well, and up to week ago it was
uncertain whether or not he would be
able to ride. This means much to
Maui, for Fleming is recognized as one
of the strongest members of the local
quartet. Another thing that will
count is the fact that Maui's string of
ponies is probably the best ever seen
in an Island match. These ponies
were sent down last Saturday and are
reported to be in the pink of condi-
ton. Among them are: Carry the
News, Dandy, Boy Blue. Parlor Maid,
Billy Lucas, Little Arthur, Silver Tail,
Bees Wings, Mynah Bird and Easter
Tide, Jr.
The Oahu team also has some fine
mounts, including the great Helen G,
one of the best polo ponies in the
world and probably second only to
DR. .Baldwin's Carry the News, which
will be ridden in the game by Frank
Baldwin. Others of Oahu's horses are:
Jennie C, Gold Dust, Buttons, Grand
ma Bess, In and Out, Quick Silver
Grey Dawn and Halemaumau.
The Oahu team consists of Arthur
Rice, Walter Dillingham;, Harold Cas-
tie and Walter Macfarlane. Maui's
four are: Arthur Collins, Frank Bald
win, Sam Baldwin, and Dave Fleming
Besides the game this afternoon
the Maui team will play on Tuesday
an army team, consisting of a com
bination of the best players from the
various military organizations on
Oahu. 1t is believed that they will be
able to put up a strong game.

How One Employer Will
Beat Compensation Law

Notwithstanding the fact that the
new Workmen's Compensation Law
provides for fine of $3.50 to be i'm
posed upon the employer who makes
any deduction from the wages of his
employees to apply against the insur-
ance he is required to carry, one en-
ployer on Maui declared that his
workmen will have to stand it.
And this is the way I'll work that"
he explained. You see | have never
deducted anything for holidays or
other time taken off by my men, but
now that my insurance will cost me
about 800 per year l don't feel that |
can continue this practice. I've told
them the situation, and from now on
| pay for working DAYS only. | figure
that it will about break even"

MakahiO Divorce
Case is Dismissed
Judge Edings Finds That Allegations
We're Not PrOven-CaSe Sent Back
By Supreme Court.

After being in the courts for a year
or more, the divorce case of John Ma
kahio VS.. Laleionehu Makahio was on
Thursday dismissed by Judge Edings,
as was also the cross-bill filed by the
libellee. The parties in the case re-
side in Kahului. The charge brought
by Makahio against his wife was hab-
itual intemperance, while the cross
bill alleged also intemperance and
cruelty.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court from Judge Kingsbury's deci-
sion, and was sent back by the higher
court on grounds that Judge Kings
bury had taken testimony behind
closed doors, and had otherwise i'm
properly conducted the trial. In dis
missing the case, Judge Edings does
so on the grounds that neither libel
LIANT nor libellee have proven their al
legations.
Enos Vincent represented Makahio
in the matter and Eugene Murphy
was attorney for the wife.

DR.. Penhallow Not
A LuSitania Victim
Senator PenhallOw Receives Word
That Cousin Cancelled His Booking
Just Before Liner Sailed.

For six weeks past Senator H. B.
Penhallow has moruned as a victim of
the Lusitania sinking, his fayorite
cousin, DR.. D. P. Penhallow, of Bos-
ton. This week he has the glad sur
prise of knowing that the report was
a mistake, and that his cousin is alive
and well.
1t seems that although DR.. Penhal-
low had booked on the Lusitania, on
the eve of her tragic last voyage he
for some reason Cancelled his passage.
This fact was not known by his rela-
tives, who believed that he was one
of the hundreds of vicLms whose hod-
les were never recovered or j ientified
DR.. Penhallow had expected to offer
his professional services as physi'
clan and surgeon in the war zone.

Work on the new Olinda reservoir,
the extension of the Wailuku water

plans and specifications for this will
be made as soon as possible after the
engineers complete the necessary Held
work, and then bids for the construc-
ton will be cared for. At the same
time the engineers will be working
out the data and preparing speclflca-
tions for the Kuiaha road and klnel
road improvements, for which the field
work has already been done, and these
projects will be soon under way
Another project that is to receive
early attention is the extension and
Improvement of the Wailuku water

most of the data on this has already
been prepared, so that it will but a
