Honolulu Theater
May Get Valley Isle
Local Playhouse In Financial Pilikia
New Film Concern Said To Have
Eye On It

That w. H. Stone, who represents
the Reliable Film Company, in the
Islands, and who has announced the
construction of a 100000 theater
building for Honolulu, is soon to ac-
qu're control of the Valley Isle Theat-
er, in Wailuku, is report that is cur
rent on Maui at present. The fact
that the Market street playhouse is
in financial straits may have some
thing to do with the rumor, as well as
the fact that Mr.. Stone is known to
have looked over the property during
his visit to the Maui county fair. 1t
is his company which has lately been
supplying films for the house.
The Valley Isle, according to a legal
notice published today, is to be sold
on foreclosure of mortgage, held by
the First National bank for $1700 and
interest. 1t is said that the company
is in the hole to the extent of some
$4,000. The theater building is said to
have cost over double this amount.

Many FilipinOs Seek To
Become American Citizens

During the past two or three weeks
a total of 12O Filipinos have taken out
their first papers of naturalization be
fore Clerk v. G. Schoenberg, of the
second Circuit Court, and there are
some 400 others hoping to get into
the same class before the first of the
year. All of them are members of ma
tional guard companies, and in order
to remain so they must declare their
intention to become American citizens.
Whether the 400 will be accommod-
ated during the next week or not
depends upon whether on not the ma
tional guard authorities can scare up
half a dozen assistants to aid Clerk
Schoenberg in the amount of clerical
work involved.

DR.. Raymond Breaks
With Gov. Pinkham
Resigns Various 0fiCeS-SensatiOnal
Quarrel May Have Important Poll
tical Results-SeemS Irremediable

The wireless reports from Honolulu
this week to effect that DR.. J. H. Ray
mond had broken completely with
Governor. Pinkham, his longtime per-
sonal and political friend, excited
much speculation here. AT first it
was not believed to be a real breach,
but later reports indicate that DR..
Raymond has irrevocably cut himself
off from the chief executive.
The climax seems to have come
when, on Tuesday morning DR.. Ray
mond. called at the Capitol and was
refused an audience with the Cover
nor. Mr.. Pinkham sent word out that
he was busy, and the Doctor forthwith
returned to his hotel and penned his
resignation of the several offices he
has held under appointment of the
Governor.
I'm pau with Mr.. Pinkham," DR..
Raymond is quoted by the Advertiser
as saying in the course of 2-column
interview
"Pll have nothing more to do with
him. I'll not hold any office under
him. I'll not support him any longer
and l shall have no further interest
in politics. If / were President of the
United States, l wouldn't treat a
poundmasteI' the way Pinkham has
treated me-"
Raymond, who says became to Hon
olulu on private business, went to the
Governors Office and sent in his name
with the statement that he would like
to see Governor Pinkham.
1.-The Governor didn't even have the
courtesy to come out and shake hands
and tell me himself that he was busy
and ask me to call again. said Doctor
Raymond. He just sent out word by
his stenographer that he was busy and
couldn't see me-"
DR.. Raymond went very fully into
the cause of his disaffection with Pink
ham, who.he terms as an migrate, and
who he says has insulted and double
crossed him. He says that his polite
al activity during the past few years
was inspired by a friendly desire to
help the Governor.
| When at the time of the Democratic
primary last spring, l.. L. McCandless
and his faction of the Democratic
party, launched vigorous and syst
ematic attack upon Governor Pink
HON, Raymond, according to his owr
statement, went to the aid of the

In Hart Bond Case

In a decision handed down today
by the supreme court, orders made by
Circuit Judge w. S. Edings of Maui,
holding that his court was without
jurisdiction to hear the cases brought
by the territory against the bondsmen

Kula Sanitarium Is
Praised ByDr. Pratt
Head OF Health Department Well
Pleased With Maui Conditions
Wailuku Water Now Safe

Particularly gratifying to Maui are
the statements made by DR.. J. 3. S.
Pratt, president of the board of health,
who spent several days this week on a
general inspection of health condi-
tions of this Island. Dr. Pratt had been
preceded by several days by DR.. L. L.
Patterson, the boards expert in
charge of tuberculosis work, and by
NJ B. Bairos, assistant food commits
sioner, who had been investigating in
their own special lines preparatory
to his coming.
Praises Sanitarium
DR.. Pratt was particularly warm in
his praise of the work being done at
the Kula Sanitarium. He and DR..
Patterson are a unit in declaring the
Kula district to be most eminently
adapted to the treatment of the great
white plague of perhaps any place in
the territory, and they are equally
enthusiastic over what has been ac-
complished by DR.. Durney and the
sanitarium board of managers in the
past few years. With the recently in
stalled ice and electric plant in good
running order, a big dairy herd, and
plenty of land on which to raise pro-
duce for the institution the Honolulu
officials see bright future for Maui's
fight against the destructive malady.
Work on School Starts
DR.. Pratt was particularly pleased
with the progress of the children OF
the institution, for whom school
classes are now maintained. Material
for new school building is at present
on the ground.
Defeating Typhoid
In his tour of the plantations by
automobile, DR.. Pratt noted very eX
tensive new construction, and gener
ally a satisfactory condition as to
camp sanitation. The big new water
filtration system of the Hawaiian
Commercial G. Sugar Company is prob
ably one of the most striking illustra
tions of the triumph of science ovel
disease. Since the camps of the blt
plantation have been supplied VIII
filtered water, typhoid fever had al
most entirely disappeared, where be
fore that the hospital was CONSTANT!

Husband Disappeared
Over Six Years Ago

Although Mrs. Theresa Lucas, OF
Lahaina, Maui, was granted divorce
by Judge Quinn in the Fourth Cir
cult Court here last Thursday, on the
ground of desertion, the mystery of
her husbands disappearance was not
cleared up by the investigation. Mrs.
Lucas testified that she had not see
or heard of her husband since he dis
appeared on July 10, 1916, when he
left her at Honomu, this island.
The couple were married in Ma
deira on May IL, 1898, and came to
Hawaii soon afterwards. For some
time they worked at Honomu, where
two children were born, Joseph, fif-
teen years, and Carolina, eight years
old. Mrs. Lucas came from Lahaina
with her attorney to attend the case
in the local court.-Hilo Tribune.

Wants Wide Tires But
How Wide Is Question

81 believe the supervisors should
pass a wide-tire ordinance for the
protection of our roads" declares w,
/. Wells, manager of the Haiku Co
operative Association, But some care
should be used in framing such law.
The suggestion that tires should in
crease an inch for each 25O pounds OF
load seems ridiculous. What kind OF
tire for instance would man need for
three or four-ton truck? Let's have
wide tires but let's use reason in the
matter"
