Mrs. J. F. Arnold Tells of Some of the
Less Attractive Features in
Grand Rapids

Mrs. j. r. Arnold, who together with
her husband, is staying at the Soldiers
Home in Grand Rapids, this winter.
has had the kindness to write another
letter for publication in The Messen-
ger. An extra demand for space rem
ders it impossible for US to use the let
ter in its entirety, hence we publish
only extracts. Mrs. Arnold also had
the kindness to say some very nice
things about The Messenger. which we
sincerely appreciate, but which rather
critical self appraisement will not allow
us to publish.
Mrs. Arnold begins by saying she
thinks they may remain about year
at the home and the following are ex-
tracts from her letter:
Now in regard to this home of
which told you the bright side in my
first letter, of course there are those
things in all such places that are far
from pleasant, so here while each gets
his clothing and bed, if he don't room
outside, and plenty to eat, if not cooked
like we have in our private homes, and
that is far more than can say for the
other state Institution know of. The
worst here, is the men eat too fast and
others don't want to be the last out of
the dining room and so do not get
enough, yet there are many here that
are real glad of such home, all heated
and pleasant, as it is and many kickers
that no one could please, and, too, some
roommates are not desirable. Whiskey
drinkers and drunkards are not wanted
here but there are quite number here
of that stripe, just the same.
The large hospital is crowded with
sick men and women and many ailing
ones are in the home. Many fall dead
and double funerals many days. From
TWO upwards in the morgue all the
time, so it is sad sight to me when |
call on the suffering ones. I should
love, however, to see this place in mid
summer; such beauty for anyone who
cares for it, I'll hurry on so not to
weary you.
| see Clio don't take a back seat for
any of the larger cities in getting so
many good speakers, first for our
church and sister church and all the en-
tertainments you have had and are yet
planning for. The good feeling of all
Clio people is admirable; strife, | think,
has all fled to different parts. Now
this is no jesting but anyone that can
see, read and think knows this and
much more is due to Clio.
My best wishes for you and yours

enjoyed the hospitality of the little
village and her big hearted men and
women for the As hours the celebra-
tion lasted.
The program started with baseball
and horse racing at Kaanapali Satur-
day and wound up late Sunday night
with dancing and free moving pic
lures. Central Maui turned out in
mass for the big bail on Saturday
night, the Lahaina-Wailuku highway
being thronged with merrymakers and
merryseekers on their way to the cele-
bration. Many of those who went over
Saturday remained until WEAKNESS. of
enjoyment sent them homeward on

ing of the new Lahafna store, which
was visited and inspected by hundreds.
Another feature, an extremely inter-
esting one, was the participation of
the members of the Maui militia regi-
ment in most of the athletic events.
Not only did the nilitiamen partici-
pate in the different events, but also
provided some unique and novel forms
OF entertainment which were typical

most interesting, judging from after
comments, was the retiring sharp
shooters race. The horse racing was
another highly enjoyable part of the
program. s%ss#'s-. ~. ~#
On Sunday at noon a big lunch was
provided for every one of the several
thousands of visitors at the race track.
The seemingly almost impossible task
OF supplying sufficient food for all was
accomplished without trouble as the
Lahaina people had estimated correct
ly in advance the number they would
have to entertain. Over five tons of
pineapples were consumed at this
lunch and other tons of fruit and veg

WAILUKU, Maui, Sept 22.-John
Gina. the confessed slayer Of George
Cooper Of Hama, is said by police Off
ciaIs to be showing signs of regret
for the cowardly crime which he com
mitted. He seems to realize now the
enormity 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 Gina, he spends his time very
quietly 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
rapers containing accounts of his
crime.
Unlike criminals of other races, he
has not asked to see the newspaper
accounts containing Information con-
corning the Hama tragedy. The news
papers would nave been refused him
by the police. Very little information
concerning the crime has been allowed
To creep in TO the other prisoners.
Ginza's long hair was clipped close
to his head during the past week. It
is rumored that 1t is thought.he or the
attorney appointed to defend him may
enter i plea OF insanity as defense
for the crime. The hair was cut to
permit DR.. Osmer and DR.. Sawyer to
examine his skull for signs of insani-.
ty or lack Of them. It is said.
