A. |. Case
is Burned
Painfully
Automobile Takes Fire in Unusual
Manner While Owner is Cleaning
Engine-EIectric Spark Supposed
Cause-Car Saved From Damage

Painful though not dangerous are
the burns which A. L. Case. supervis-
ing principal of the Maui schools, sus-
tanned last Sunday morning in a
peculiar accident, while engaged in
cleaning the engine of his automobile
at his home in Hamakuapoko. While
brushing the mechanism with a metal
brush saturated in gasoline, the v0lat-
lie fluid suddenly ignited, and before
he could escape the flames had spread
over his left arm, face and neck. At
a water hydrant nearby, Mr. Case sue
ceeded in extinguishing his blazing
clothing, while w. S. Beeman, prin-
cipal of the Hamakuapoko high school
who happened to be near, managed to
put out the fire which had started in
the oil pan of the auto.
Mr.. Case was removed to the Paia
hospital, where his injuries were
dressed and where he will be confined
for another week or more.
The presumable cause of the acct
dent was a spark from the electfc
ignition equipment of the car. The
metal brush which Mr.. Case was
using, is supposed to have short-cir-
cuited the current causing a sufficient
spark to ignite the gasoline with
which the brush was saturated.
Mr.. Cases wife and her sister Miss
Coupe, who were in Honolulu at the
time, and who sailed for the coast by
the Manoa on Tuesday, were not ad-
vised of the accident.

School Tax
Law TO Have
Opposition
Maui Losing Money Under Present
SyStem-TerritOriaI Control of
Schools will Have Opposition
Committee Will Draft Bills.

That the plan which is being work
ed up in Honolulu to put the public
school management entirely in the
hands of the Territory, is not going
to have smooth sailing through the
Legislature, was evident on Thursday
during the conference of the Board
of Supervisors and the Maui legisla-
tive delegation. The plan was declar-
ed by several to be step backwards
instead of forwards.
1t is also certain that there will be
kick made to have the plan of ap-
portioning the school taxes amended.
Under the present system of dumping
all school taxes into one pot, it was
declared that Maui gets the short end
of the deal to the tune of about $780,
600 per year. In other words, Maui's
money goes to support the Oahu
schools to very considerable degree.
At the meeting where this dis
cussion came up, were present, be-
oANO bhC oupCl NloOl II. n
Baldwin, H. B. Penhallow, w. T. Rob-
inson, Representatives P. j. Goodness,
Robt. Nawahine, and w. F. Crockett.
Besides the legislators there were also
present County engineer Howell, form.
er supervisor William Henning, and
others.
The discussion was very general,
and brought out many ideas relative
to needed legislation. DR.. Raymond
made the declaration that with proper
businesslike administration the coun.
ty of Maui will be able from her ord.
| mary sources of revenue, to construct
all roads, bridges, Waterwarks
and other public Improvements in
sight that properly belong to the
| county, within period of seven years
and have them of a standard equal
| to any in the world.
The Importance of getting at least
| $4,000 appropriated by the leglsla
ture to build roads in the Kuiaha
homesteads was agreed to all around
and good deal of time taken in dis
cussion of the best means for accom-
plishing this.
1t was finally agreed thar the super
visors should appoint a Legislative
committee which shall lose no time ir
woJ king out details Of Legislation
needed for Maui, and embodying these
in bills properly drafted.

Little Hope
For Better
Pine Prices
A. A. Durney, Fruit Man From Coast,
Holds Little Hope to Growers For
Several Years at demand
Can't Be Much More Increased.

Speaking frankly, the outlook for
the pineapple business from the grow
,ers' standpoint is not bright, for at
least several years to come" stated
A. A. Durnoy, a member of the big
fruit packing firm Of Griffith, Durney
G. Company, of California, who arriv-
ed from the coast this week on bust
ness of his firm. Mr.. Durney has no
pineapples, but his firm has con-
tracts as agent to handle the output
of the Maui Pineapple Company, of
Pauwela, and of the Honolua Ranch.
Mr.. Durney declared that it had not
been easy to dispose of the big pack
of over two million cases, the amount
of Hawaii's output of pineapple last
year, and that it was only possible at
all by the very low price at which it
was offered. 1t will not be possible
to materially increase these pirces, he
thinks, for the coming seasons out
put
"Yes, sincerely believe the limit has
been very nearly reached" declared
Mr.. Durney. "Of course consumption
will continue to increase, but it will
be SLOW In 1908 the packers inaugu-
rated big advertising campaign and
practically saved the day for pine
apples, enormously increasing the de-
mand. They tried the same methods
last year and the results were scarce
ly noticeable.
"Then too, the European war has
cut into the work of developing the
pineapple appetite in Europe. The
exports had already reached very i'm
portant portions-perhaps 100000
cases per year. This is now practic
ally stopped"
With little prospect of a material
advance in the price of the canned
goods, there can be no very great in
crease in the price the packers car
pay the growers. Hence the conclu
sion that there must be a decided cur
tailment among the growers before
adequate returns for their product
can be hoped for.

Supervisors
Vote TO Keen
Prisoners
Talk Of Sending Kuiaha Road Gang
Back TO Honolulu Opposed By
Chamber Of Commerce Urge More
Efficient Management.

The territorial prisoners who are
working on the roads in the Kuiaha
district, are to be kept on Maui in
definitely and for long time to come,
provided the wishes of the board of
supervisors are respected in the mat
ter. The board adopted resolution
to this effect at it's Thursday after
noon session, after it had been waited
upon by committee from the cham
ber of commerce.
The sending of this committee to
the board was a development of the
chamber of commerce meeting the
same afternoon, when it was brought
out that the prisoners were very
shortly to be sent back to Honolulu
Inasmuch as the chamber had been in
a measure responsible for getting
the prison labor for Maui in the first
place, this proposition did not meet
with favor, and committee consist
ing of w. A. Baldwin, w. o. Aiken,
and E. r. Bevins was named to see
the board about the matter, with the
results as above stated. Maintenance
of the prisoners costs, it was stated,
about so cents per day per man.
Much criticism was made in the
chamber meeting of the manner in
which the road work is being done in
the homestead district, it being stated
that practically all the work was be-
ing done by hand, whereas the county
fathers had promised to concentrate
the entire working force of the coun-
ty, particularly the county teams, on
this work. w. A. Baldwin told the
board that the Haiku Fruit & Packing
Company would rent all the mules
needed to the county at rs cents per
day. The sentiment of the board
seemed to be that team work should
be employed.

Especially

HONOLULU, Jan. 6.-Thousands of
Ssf patriotic and popular airs, will be
" feature of the program of the 1915
Mid-Pacific Carnival, which without
doubt is going to be one of the most
appreciated and entertaining events
of the celebration. Special copies of
music are now being prepared at the
instance of the Carnival company, es-
pecially for the occasion, and within
a few days Miss Jane Whine, who
successfully conducted the Christmas
carol singing here a year ago, will
commence rehearsing the children,
the majority of whom will be public
school pupils.
The singing will be done from the
capitol steps to the accompaniment
of the Royal Hawaiian Band. Bleach
er seats will be arranged for the aud
fence. In connection with the sing
ing, during the intermissions the
children will portray the folk dances
of the various nations, each child be-
ing in appropriate costume. The folk
dancing is in charge of Mrs, Mary
Gum and Miss Nina Adams, who
shortly will begin rehearsals. The
various local public school teachers
are heartily in favor of both events,
and it is expected that between 1900
and 1000 children will participate.

New Engineer
Department
is Created
Ordinance Passes Third Reading and
Hugh Howell is AppOinted-Lake
0pposes-Raymond Accuses Him
of Playing Politics.

Denouncing in vigorous measures
what he declared to be an effort on
the part of Supervisor Charles Lake
to play politics." DR.. Raymond, at
the Wednesday afternoon meeting of
the board, insisted on action being
taken on the ordinance creating he
Office of county engineer. Lakes eff
fort to postpone action on the meas
ure failed, and with two slight amend
ments, the ordinance passed its third
reading, Kalama, Meyer, and Ray
mond voting for it, Lake against it,,
and Drummond being absent.
In urging the adoption of the ordi-
nance, Dr. Raymond cited figures ag-
gregating $22,618.1S, spent on road
work and other projects during the
past eighteen month, which he declar.
ed had been wasted, solely because
the work had been done without pro-
per engineering skill.
A petition from fifty-five voters of
the county protesting against the
passage Of the proposed ordinance, on
the ground that the county can't af-
ford the luxury of an engineer at the
present time, had been previously
read. Raymond declared that the
fifty-five names represented but a
small fraction of the opinion of the
county. Further, that the county is
not hard up, and that it will have
plenty of money next year to carry
out all of its more important pro.
jects for road building. That this work
cannot be done without competent
engineer in charge.
Supervisor Lake strenuously denied
the charge that he was playing poll
tics in connection with the matter
declaring that his opposition to the
ordinance had been consistent from
the start.
Following the adoption of the ordi
nance, creating the new department
and placing all the district overseers
under the engineer, the Board form
ally appointed Hugh Howell as engin
eer, with a salary of $500 per month
The vote stood the same as before
Mr.. Howell is at present filling the
place of engineer, but under the new
appointment his authority will be
much extended.
Although Supervisor Drummont
was in town at the time, he did no
attend the meeting until after the en-
gineer ordinance had been acted upon
