Kansas Comment
THE SEAT HOGS.

One compartment of a smoker on
Frisco train out of Kansas City re-
Gently had seating capacity of about
forty. A passenger, after failing to
find a seat in the day coach, entered
this compartment and found the seats
all occupied. Then he began to curse
the railroad company for not provid-
ing more accommodations. In that
compartment some men were occupy
ing four seats and none less than two.
An actual count showed there were
Just nineteen passengers in the COM
partment made to seat forty and yet
when one, who was sprawled out over
four seats was asked to give up one
of them he felt imposed upon. This
is one of the reasons for the high cost
of railroading. And it is also one of
the commonest sources of unjust crit
icism of railroads.&c.. Scott Tribune.
THE NEED IN ORATORS.
Herbert Cavaness, of the Chanute
Tribune, acknowledges that he once
had an ambition to be an orator, but
gave it up because he was judged
ninth in an oratorical contest in which
there were eight other contestants.
Now Herbert was very wrong in allow
ing the opinions of one set of judges
to so influence him. He ought to have
cussed the judges and persevered.
Chances are that the public would
have reversed the judges of that con-
test. Any man with ideas and Ian
guage can become an orator. Prac-
tice and observation of the ways of
good models are the main thing. Her
bert has the ideas and he has the abil
ity to sling the language. He should
have persevered. There are too many
orators occupying the attention of the
public who haven't the ideas. They
are mere wind-jammers and ought to
be crowded off the stage.-Leaven-
worth Times.

If Germany is turning out subma-
rines at the rate of two a week, as re-

Britain can put out a supply of mer-

seem feasible that Germany can build
submarines with such facility

Maui Soon to Have
Anti Treating Rule
License Commissioners Favor Kaae'S
Idea-SalOOnS Close Part of Today
New Board Organizes.

At the next meeting of the Maui Ii
quor License Commission to be ht Id
on the 29th, resolution will be acted
upon which it is intended will pre-
vent treating in all saloons or OF er
drinking places on Maui. This WAS
unanimously decided upon by tie new
board, which held its first meeting OIL
Thursday. The board as newly organ
ized, has Il. b. Lyons, as president,
and ID. II. Case, as secretary. The
board now consists of II. b. Lyons,
d. II. Case, w. F. Kaae, d. c. Lind
say, and C. ID. Lufkin, the first three
being new members.
The Board also amended an order
of the old board, made last week, re
quiring that saloons be closed today
until p. M. AS amended, they will
be permitted to be open from 6 to 8
a. m, and to again open after p. III
The proposed anti-treating rule
came in for considerable discussion,
when Commissioner Kaae announced
that at the next meeting he proposes
introducing a resolution which will re
quire liquor dealers to break up this
custom. The perniciousness Of the
practise was generally agreed, and il
is likely that the rule viii be ready
to put into effect onNAugust !.

Big Pilikia for
County Possible
Contention That Bail Money Collected
By Police is Illegal Goes to Su-
preme Court.

On the grounds that the police have
no right to require and accept bal!
money from persons arrested, and that
therefore the forfeiture of such money
to the county is illegal, Attorney +.
r. Bevins has appealed a test case
to the Supreme Court from a dcrision
of District Magistrate Mckay. Should
the higher court reverse the district
court in this matter, there will be
plenty of pilikia started, for in this
county at least, the practice Of ac-
cepting cash bail by the police de-
partment is one of long standing.
The case on which the matter will
be tested, was that of one Palikiku,
who had forfeited $50 deposited by
him when arrested on an adultery
charge. Through Bevins, he is now
bringing suit for the recovery Of this
money. The case was tried before
Judge Mckay last Saturday.
Scarcely a week passes that from
fifty to several hundred dollars are not
forfeited by gamblers and other of
tenders, who are arrested by the po-
lice, put up IS or so with the police
as surety for their appearance in
court, and then never appear. These
cases are then ordinarily dropped.

Plantation Men Meet
Accident Board

That the Maui plantations will do
everything in their power to carry
out to the letter the provisions of the
new Workmen's Compensation Law,
was the assurance that the Maui In
dustrial Accident Board received at a
meeting held last Tuesday, at which
were present the managers Of the
principal sugar properties of the is
land. They were: +. F. Baldwin, Ha-
waiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany; L. Weinzheimer, Pioneer Mill;
II. b. Penhallow, Wailuku Sugar; Har-
old Rice, Maui Agricultural; Alex Val
entine, Olowalu; and William Walsh,
Kahului Railroad.
The meeting was really an exchange
of ideas in the study of the new act,
and it was very evident that the prin-
ciple of the measure meets with gene
raj approval. II was satted auu-
Der of the plantation men, however,
that the requirements of the act in the
matter of compensation are less than
ordinarily paid at present

Wild Man of Hama
Captured This Week
Demented Portuguese Who Had Been
Missing for Five Months, Finally
Caught-Appearance Alarming.

A wild man, of most fearsome ap-
pearance, with a great ragged beard
and a name of hair falling about his
shoulders, and with but few shreds
of rags to cover his nakedness, was
the substance of the description fur
nished by an excited and frightened
Filipino, at Hama, last Wednesday
evening. The Filipino had been living
on the Hamoa homestead of Mary
Ann Cabral, a few miles from the
town of Hama. He admitted that he
had left the place in a hurry, and no
persuasion was equal to getting him
to go back
A searching party was organized by
Deputy Sheriff e. ]. Silva and after
securing the mountains back of Hama
for day and half, the wild man"
was finally located and captured. He
proved to be Manuel Hendrick a Por-
tuguese stone mason of Hama, who has
been missing for the past five months.
He is undoubtedly demented, but ap-
parently only mildly so.
After being caught, he accompanied
the searchers back to Hama, and talk
ed quite nationally of his experiences.
During all the time he has been away,
he has lived high on the mountain
side, subsisting on wild bananas and
other fruits, some wild hogs, and as
he claims, one or two wild steers,
which claims he was able to kill with
a hatchet and knife which he had with
him. The frequent mysterious disap-
pearance of provisions from dwellings
on the low lands in recent months,
may also doubtlessly be safely laid
at his door. He was engaged in de
vouring a pot of half cooked rice at
Hamoa, when discovered by the FIJI
pino.
Sheriff Silva's searchers found no
less than seven matched huts which
Hendrick had built for shelter, in a
range extending from Nahiku to Klpa.
hulu. Hendrick, who was formerly an
expert water man for the Kipahulu
plantation, probably knows the NOM
tains better than almost any per- on in
the island, which accounts for his be
ing able to live as he has for almost
half year.

Great Sport
Assured for
Big Races
Horses in Trim and Track Fast Slim
Attendance From Honolulu on AC-
count Steamer Schedule. Band
Could Not Come.

Everything is set for the big races
at Kahului which begin at nine o'clock
this morning. The horses are declared
by their trainers to be in excellent
shape and the track is said to be in
fine condition. There is general dis
appointment over the fact that the
changing of the sailing of the Clau-
dine one day ahead prevented many
Honolulu people from attending, tut
indications are that ve:y large crowd
of Maui people from every part of
the island will be present. The rea-
son that the Claudine arrived yester.
day instead of this morning, was due
to the fact that it would have been
impossible to have had the freight
handled today on account of the holi
day.
Band Did Not Come.
Because of this also, the Fourth Cav
airy band, which had been arranged
for, did not come. A letter from Capt.
Holbrook stated that an engagement
for Thursday night which could not
be Cancelled, made it impossible for
the organization to take the earlier
sailing.
However, the Honolulu horses airiv

been working out ever since at the

The new county board of supervi.

Thursday, July 1. All of the members
were present, Fleming, Pail, and Ia
hinui taking their seats for the first
time, and filling the places of Dr.
Raymond, Lake, and Meyer, of the old
board.
Prior to the meeting each of the
members had submitted his bond of
$4,000 to Circuit Judge Edings, as re-
quired by law. When the meeting
was called to order, the members were
collectively sworn in by Clerk Kaae,
following which they passed uptn and
accepted the bonds of the various
county officials.
resolution was adopted retaining
in office all present employees of the
county until such time as the board
has time to consider this subject in
detail.
Howell Resigns.
County Engineer Hugh Howell ten
dered his resignation to the board.
This may or may not be a matter of
courtesy. Howell states that in C, Sc
he is reappointed, or his resignation
not accepted, he will demand a num-
Der OF readjustments in his relation
ship to the board. 1t is limited, how.
ever, that his resignation will be ac-
cepted, and new engineer appointed.

Hitchcock To Be Investigated.
Several petitions were received from
Molokai protesting against the action
of the old board at its last meeting.
in ordering the discharge of II. K.
Hitchcock, as district overseer of Mo-
lokai. The matter was discussed at
length and finally resulted in a com
mittee consisting of Kalama, Drum
mond, and Pail being appointed to
visit Molokai and investigate the char
ges against the overseer. 1t is clair ed
that the trouble is due to factional
discords across the channel, and that
the allegations that Hitchcock has
been using county feed for his own
and his friends horses, and otherwise
abusing the trust he holds, are not
founded on facts.
Fish Market Investigation.
Because Sanitary Inspector Osmers
of the board of health will not issue a
certificate until the Wailuku fish war
ket is screened from flies, and conse
quently the vendors cannot obtain a
renewal of their licenses, the board is
looking into this matter.
The regular meeting of the board
for this month is to be held next Wed
