his health, though of course he also
draws down some cash stipend for
his services.
Several years ago, while pitching
for the Boston Red Sox, Anderson
was studying dentistry on the side.
Finally he decided to give up base
ball and follow his other profession.
He bought out the practice Of an old
tOOth-caTpenter down in Georgia
and hit 1000 in the prosperity
league.
Finally his health broke under the
strain. A physician advised him to
take a long rest and be outdoors as
much as possible. The Federals, just
starting up, offered an opportunity
and Anderson grabbed it, signing up
with Buffalo. He soon regained his
health and last year was regarded by
many as the best HEAVIER in the now
defunct organization.
McGraw heard of Anderson's Prov
ess and when the Feds blew the

Hoyne caused the indictment Of Ju-

Illus caused some excitement among
taxdodgers and for days rich men
were calling Hoyne's Office in an eff
fort to settle with the state and avoid
indictment.
The trust press on the afternoon
Of his indictment played the story
hard. The Journal had a scoop"
and put the story on the street before
the bill was returned against the
mailOrder millionaire.
AS a result of this, the city editor
of the Journal was called before the
grand jury and questioned, but not
prosecuted.
On the morning following the
break Of the story, led by the Herald,
the trust press started making eX-
cuses for the millionaire who failed
to file a schedule.
Hundreds Of big business men

denouncing this attack on the "di-

Hoyne was panned hard, especially
by the Herald and News.

Driver Killed When
Horse Wrecks Wagon

Kumallichi Alliama, driver of de
livery wagon of the j. Onishi store, of
Kahului, was found unconscious on the
road last Friday evening, and died a
bout o'clock the following evening
without having regained conscious
ness. He had doubtless been thrown
from his wagon when his horse took
fright and ran away, and this was the
Interpretation of the coroner's jury
which investigated and passed upon
the case on Wednesday of this week.
The accident occurred on the Kah-
ului-Puunene road, on the hill just
south of the Kahului racetrack. 1t
was first discovered by John MacLar-
en-, who in passing along the road first
came upon the horse with broken har-
ness feeding beside the road A little
farther on he found the broken wag-
on wedged against a tree by the road
side, and near it the unconscious form
of the driver The injured man was
later taken to a Japanese hospital in
Wailullu, but nothing could be done
for him. Akiama was 46 years of age,
was married and is survived by wife
and children who live in Kahului

Employer Is Fined
By Accident Board
Others Called On To Explain Maui
Commissioners Not Satisfied With
Some Policies - Believe They Still
Do Not Satisfy Law - Field Home
From Coast

From now on it is likely to prove ex-
pensive to employers of labor in the
county who fail to see that their en-
ployees are protected by compensation
insurance against accidents. The in
dustrial accident board for the county
of Maui is showing a disposition to
make it unpleasant and Improbable
to those who try to evade the law in
this respect
At meeting of the body held on
Tuesday afternoon three alleged often
ders were on the carpet, and one of
them was fined. This was NJ Tomoki-
20, Wailuku building contractor, who
had been ordered at previous meet
ing to take out insurance, but who had
been slow in complying. He was fined
as provided by the law, at the rate of
81 per day for each of his employees,
for l day.
G. Tanida, who runs general store
in Wailuku, was before the board for
noncompliance with the law, but on
his promise to take out insurance i'm
mediately, he was given time to do so.

Policies Still Unsatisfactory
The Maui board has been dissatis-
fed with the form of insurance policy
which the Employers Liability Assu-
rance Corporation is issuing, and so
far have declined to accept any un-
qualifiedly; however at the Tuesday
meeting a communication from this
concern stated that they were issuing
endorsement forms which would an
swer the objections of the Board. The
board is also backing up County Attor-
ney Bevins in his contention that the
policy submitted by the United States
Fidelity & Guaranty Company is not
acceptable under the Workmen's Com
pensation Law.
Commissioner w. H. Field, who has
been on the Coast, was present for the
first time in several meetings of the
Board. He has recently been recon-
missioned by Governor Pinkham for 5

Island Electric Nav
Lose Its Franchise
Public Utilities Commission Will Insist
On Radical Changes - Rates Must
Be Reduced Forbes Says Report
0nInyeStigatiOn YetMadePublic

Honolulu, Aug. 30-Charles r. Forbes,
chairman of the public utilities com
mission, recommended to that body
yesterday that unless a satisfactory
explanation be received within reas-
enable length of time of the business
and financial peculiarities of the Isl
and Electric Company, of Maui, the
commission recommend to congress
the disfranchisement of the corporal
ion.
And in any event l will advise this
commission to compel the Island E.
1ectric Company to reduce it's lighting
rates." the chairman added.
Forbes said that the people of Wal
lulfu and Kahului, Maui, are assessed
for lighting at a rate of twenty cents
a kilowatt hour, The rate of the Ha-
waian Electric in Honolulu is eight
cents lilowatt hour, while the chair
man asserted that smaller concerns,
such as the company at Waimea, which
is even smaller than the Island Elec-
tric, are charging only fifteen cents.
TheLahaina Ice Company supplies
lighting juice to it's customers at fif-
teen cents and contemplates reduct-
ion to ten cents, while the Waihi E.
lectric Company in Kauai has a rate
of only fifteen cents.
"The Island Electric Company has
practically monopoly on the business
in its district" said Forbes, "but
nevertheless, the citizens of Kahului
and Wailuku are entitled to lower
rates, and we should see that they get
them"
From comment made by the chair
man in the course of the discussion,
the impression was given that the
books of the Maui corporation are bad
ly tangled. The commissions invest
igation of its affairs took place last
spring and hearing was held in that
county in May, but the commissions S
report has not been made public yet.
Forbes said this has been held up in
definitely at the request of the COM
pany's attorneys. More definite data
has been sought but Forbes said some
of it, much desired, has not been forth
coming. A communication was read
from j. G. Blair, superintendent of the
concern, saying he was not giving the
commission certain requested inform
alton on light and power rates because
the board had failed to supply aim
with necessary regulation forms for
that purpose.
Word has been sent to r. e. Bond,
president, who resides at Berkeley,
California, for data wantd by the
board, but that was only about a week
ago and sufficient time has not elapsed
to get reply.

Lack OF Pipe Delays
Reservoir At Olinda
Freight Congestion At San Francisco
Now Blamed - Material For Wal
lnku WaterwOrkS Did Not Arrive
By Lurline

Although a portion of the pipe nee
essary for the completion of the Wal
luku- -Kahului waterworks was listed
on the ships manifest, the Matson
liner Lurline, which arrived at Kah-
ului last Friday failed to put any of
the shipment ashore. AS a conse-
quence the Howell Engineering Com
pany is sti'l unable to finish up the
important job which has been hang
ing fire for weeks. Whether the
pipe was put ashore at Honolulu. or
whether it is still on the wharves at
San Francisco, is something which
has not as yet been ascertained.
olinda Reservoir Also DELAYED
Contractor James c .Foss, Jr., who
has the contract from the loan fund
commission for the construction of
the big Olinda reservoir has also had
his work halted almost completely
for more than a month for lack of
pipe and other materials which the
recent stevedores' strike and the
congestion of the steel mills in the
east have held up. A good deal of
the pipe needed must be laid under
the dam before the main construct
ion can proceed, and as conse-
quence the project is about at a
standstill.
