UTILITIES IN MAUI
RECEIVE CRITICISM
Telephone Company Praised BY
Utilities Commission

Maui s. public utilities, particularly
the Lahaina Ice and Electric Company
and the Island Electric Company OF
Waikiki, were Investigated last week
by the public utilities commission and
their service and manner of keeping
books gone into thoroughly.
The books Of the Lahaina corpora.
ton were not satisfactorily kept to
the minds Of the commissioners, who
considered that although an adjunct of
the Pioneer Mill Company, the ice COM
Pany was a distinct corporation and it
should be treated as such. The service
was found to be good.
The Island Electric Company was
found to be in not such good condi-
ton physically as il should Be and that
II was being run at too much expense.
The installation Of the new power
plant and generator was explained to
the commissioners and il is anticipated
that with qualified electrician in
charge of the works and the proper ma.
chinery the service will be greatly i'm.
proved.
The Maui Telephone Company was
found to be in good condition in all
things and praise was extended to the
management.

james Larkin, the Irish labor leader,

violence of the remarks of the speaker,
asserting that they did the cause no

Sweeps Kemp City

(Associatsd Press BY Federal Wireless)
DENNTSoNy Tetas, My 2e.-Nins
persons were killed and thirty eight in.
jured last night by tornado that
wiped the little town of Kemp City,
Oklahoma, out Of existence
The wind came without warning,
sweeping across d wide district of plain,
.uProoting trees, overturning houses and
barns, scooping streams of water empty
and driving the water in singing hail
like drops before il.
Kemp City stood squarely in the
path of the storm and felt the full
brunt of the wind. The houses on the
outskirts of the town went down be-
fore the blast, overwhelming their oe-
cupaRts. II was here that most of the
fatalities took place, the people not
having time to escape from the wind.
The tornado played strange freaks,
lifting roofs from houses and carrying
the shingled frame work for miles, only
to blow them to flinders at the last.
some houses were picked up bodily and
overturned, while others were crumpled
up under the force of the wind and
were scattered far and wide.
Rescue work already has been start
ed, parties of men and nurses having
been sent out from surrounding towns
and cities to assist in the task of re-
pairing the damage done by the storm,
and caring for the injured. The list Of
dead and injured may be increased
when the full reports have been receiv-
ed.

Superintendent of Public Works
Charles h. Forbes had talk with the
HilO supervisors on the Waiakca road
last week, in which it is said that he
refused to permit the expenditure of
the appropriation for the work, as it
would not be sufficient to lay con
crete road.
The supervisors advised that the money
be spent to go as far as it would and
the county would make up the balance
unless the Legislature could be prevail
ed upon 10 supply more money.
This did not appeal to Forbes, who
said that he would not consent to con
tract for the road until the money
needed was available and that those
wanting the road would have to wait.
