A FALLEN IDOL

Many military heroes of all the war ring nations have suffered severely in reputation under the acid test of war, but the greatest, fall of all was that of Count Helmuth von Mo1tke, Field Marshal of the German army, who held the supremec ommand of the united forces of the empire when hos tilities began. It did not take long to discover that the large feet of this idol were of clay, and, from the 1ord1y position of chief of the general staff General von Mo1tIze was soon reduced to a position where his influence was practically nil. Count von Moltke was born xty-eight years ago today, May 25, 1848, at Gerstaff. Mecklenburg, and was the favorite nephew of the great Field Marshal von Moltke, the German hero of the Franco-Prussian war. His father was a younger brother of the famous warrior, and was chamberlain to the Danish mon arch, the von MoIt<e clan being of Danish descent. In the war of 1870 He1muth was a sub-Iieutenant and by his bravery won the iron cross. His rise in the army was very slow, and from 1882 to 1891, while adjutant to his celebrated uncle, he advanced only to the rank of major. When old von Mo1tke died the Kaiser appointed Count Helmuth a member of his per sonal suite. His accomplishments, especially as a musician appealed to the Kaiser, and after that he was ad- vanced rapidly, eventually becoming the supreme leader of the Kaiser s great military machine. It is said that Count von Mo1tl1e hesitated to accept this appointment, repeatedly declaring his unworthiness. but Will helm forced his acceptance of the high post. Count von Mo1tke is among the ta11est men in the German army. standing almost seven feet in his hosiery.

The street parade that the Bar mum & Bailey show will give here will be entirely new, as far as features are concerned, but it will be drawn by horses.
 Moreover, no circus is complete without feats of equestrianisn, and this year more famous riding acts are on the program than have ever before been offered by Barnum & Bailey Among the famous riders are Signor Bagonghi ,the wonderful dwarf eoues- trian; the famous Hanneford family: the celebrated Davenport troupe: Miss Ella Bradna, and a score of others whose names stand for all that is best in bareback riding and horse training.

Fireman Had Seven
Tins OF Opium
Claudine Man Is Arrested Saturday
When He Brings Drug Ashore To
Sell-"DOpe" Worth $lOOO-.Jap-
aneSe Is Also Arrested On Same
Charge

The police made two opium hauls
during the past week which netted
them, in one case, confiscated opium
worth about $1,000. This was taken
from the clothing of Lai You, Chin
ese fireman on the Claudine, as he
was coming ashore at Kahului last
Saturday morning A tip had been
given to the police that he would
bring opium ashore to sell or leave
with confederates on Maui. Special
Officer Waiwaiole made the arrest
and when he searched Lai You he
found the seven tins. Opium is said
to be worth $13S tin on this island
Lai You would give the police no
information as to where he got" dope"
His only reply to questioning was that
white man whom he said he did not
know had given it to him in Honolulu
to dispose of. Lai You was allowed
his liberty after putting up 5000 bail
money which he forfeited.
Another arrest for having opium in
possession was that of Tanalka, a Jap
anese. Like in the other case, an in
former had notified the police when
he would be found with opium. Tana-
la was arrested in a Chinese store
while he was trying to sell the drug.
The arrest was made by officer Sam
Lindsay.

Three Man-Fight
In Senatorial Race

Ben Lyons has withdrawn as candi-
date for Democratic nomination as
the second Maui senator. Formal
notice of his withdrawal has been
sent to the secretary of the territory
in Honolulu. While Lyons does not
so state, it is understood that his
withdrawal is believed to be consider
ed good move toward assuring the
election of DR.. Raymond as senator
from Maui in opposition to George
Cooke and Harry Baldwin on the Re-
publican ticket.
Other reasons given for the with
drawal from the race of Lyons is that
he has aspirations for election TO a
county office at the spring election
and that he did not wish to spare the
time and expense necessary for the
campaign.
Even the Republicans admit that
with the second Bourbon candidate
out of the senatorial race that Cooke
will have to make a hard fight to be
elected. Harry Baldwin's election is
general conceded by the leaders of
both parties.

Settlement To
Hear Politicians
DIR. Raymond SecuresPermission From
Board Of Health For All Maui And
Delegate Candidates To Address
Inmates Of KaIaupapa

For the first time in eight years
the Maui candidates have been grant
ed permission by the territorial board
or health to make political talks to the
inmates of the Molokai settlement.
The permission was secured by DR..
Raymond, candidate for nomination
ana election as senator from Maui,
from Governor Pinkham, Attorney
General Stainback and the board of
health, with DR.. Pratt, the president,
concurring.
DIR. Raymond first made his appeal
TO the governor, and then to the at
torney general by whom he was grant
ed permission to appear before the
board of health. Attorney James Coke
with DR.. Raymond both addressed the
board, arguing that although the Molo-
kai settlement residents had been
deprived of their liberty to a certain
extent, that they had been allowed
by Congress and the territory to retain
their civil rights in other respects and
had the right to vote. To deprive them
of the rights of hearing political ad-
dresses was arbitrary ruling and one
never intended and prescribed by the
law it was argued. 1t was even stat
ed that the residents of the settle
ment would receive some entertain
ment as well as information from the
political addresses which they would
hear.
News that they were once again to
be the focus point of political atten-
tion is said to have been received
with great joy in the settlement
Candidates for nomination and cleo
tions as delegates are to receive the
same favor granted the Maui candid
ates.

Fair Grounds To
Be Tented City
Canvas Covering To Form Circular
Streets With Central Square--0ut-
side Exhibitors Already Interested
= County Show Will Have It's
Own Police Force

Mauis County fair grounds-the
Wailuku baseball diamond-will be
a tented city when the First Maui
County Fair opens on November 80,
for every exhibit is to be placed in
canvasses houses, according to the
plans of the executive committee. At
first it was thought it would be nee
essary to erect buildings for at least
the machinery and the school exhibit,
but it has since been learned that it
is possible to get tents which will
provide just as good and attractive
shelter as would wooden buildings.
The tents will be placed in the order
of two streets, circling the baseball
grounds with something in the nature
of town square" in the center, or
on the diamond, as a gathering place
for the the crowd when they are not
viewing the exhibits or are listening to
the speeches or music. The ten-acre
lot will provide sufficient room so the
tents will not have to be crowded
closely together and still leave plenty
of room for the easy movement of the
spectators.
On the lower side of the grounds
will be placed the livestock exhibit
and that of the inanimate kind on the
upper side. When the stock is judged

Ginza Shows Signs
OF Deepest Regret
Slayer OF Hama BoOkkeeper Spends
Time Reading In Jail-Long Hair
Is Clipped To Permit Examination
Of Skull For Insanity Marks

John Gina, the confessed SLAYER of
George Cooper of Hama, is said by po-
lice officials to be showing signs of
regret for the cowardly crime which
committed. He seems to realize now
the inimensity and the serious penalty
which he will probably be called upon
to pay for his deed.
Although there are unusual signs of
regret, that is for an Oriental, shown
by Ginza, he spends his time very
quitely in the Wailuku Jail, having
very little intercourse with the other
prisoners At his request he has been
provided with an abundance of maya
zines which he reads throughout the
day. He has not been given news
papers containing accounts of his
crime.
Unlike criminals of other races, he
has not asked to see the newspaper
accounts containing information con-
cering the Hama tragedy. The news
papers would have been refused him
by the police. Very little information
concerning the crime has been allowed
to creep into the other prisonres.
Ginza's long hair was clipped close
to his head during the past week. 1t
is rumoured that it is thought he or
the attorney appointed to defend him
may enter plea of insanity as a de-
fense for the crime The hair was
cut to permit DR.. Osmer and DIR.
Sawyer to examine his skull for signs
of insanity, or lack of them. ii is said.
