ia Iwilei denizens recently given a
suspended sentence by Ashford.

CAPT. Shoemaker
GOES HOME FROM
INQUIRY ATGUAM
Naval Officer Who Has Been
Probing Removal of Governor
Maxwell VIII Not Discuss i

Returning to Washington after MAXI
ing thorough investigation into the
circumstances surrounding the al
legged Imprisonment and "railroading'
to the mainland Of Governor Maxwell
Of Guam, Capt. William R. Shoemaker,
u. 8. ", whom the latest navy direc-
tory lists as zen route temporary duty
naval station, Guam" is through
passenger on the u. s. army transport
Thomas today.
Capt. Shoemaker passed through
Honolulu September Is on the trans
port Sheridan, bound for Guam to
make his investigation OF the affair
for the navy department. He had no
statement TO make at that time ex-
cept that he would look into every
angle Of the affair.
What caused the investigation was
the removal from office of Governor
Maxwell as governor Of Guam by
Lieut.. -Comdr. William p. Cronan, COM
manding the U. S. s.. Supply, station
ship at Guam. The lientenant-com-
mander is said to have placed Gov
ernor Maxwell under arrest, put him
in the naval station hospital and later
had him sent to Washington on the
transport Sheridan for observation as
to his mental condition.
Cronan's action precipitated a terri
fic rumpus in the navy department,
which was increased still more by the
arrival at Washington of Governor
Maxwell, who claimed the whole affair
to have been a conspiracy to discredit
him.
Officers Of the Sheridan. when she
was In port last. said they believed
Governor MAXWELL was perfectly nor
NAL and in full control of all his facul-
ties. They secuted any theories that
his mental condition was deficient and
said he had acted as any normal per-
son would while q passenger on the
transport.
Capt. Shoemaker called on Capt.
George R. Clark, commandant Of the
naval station at Pearl Harbor, yester-
day.
Silent on Results Of Mission
Capt. Shoemaker firmly but cour-
teously declined to disclose, to the
press at least, the nature of the re-
port which he will make to the navy
department.
Shoemaker does state, however.
that conditions in Guam are excellent
at the present time and that the gov
ernorship Of the present incumbent,
Capt. Roy Smith, is apparently very
desirable. Smith was officially placed
in charge when Maxwell was relieved.
In Honolulu the captain got in some
good work by fulfilling the require
ments If his monthly test. He walked
to the Pail and back this morning, de-
clining several offers Of ride from
passing cars, and visited with local
officers this afternoon.

ed the Star-B Bulletin today, both sena-
tors and representatives elect to the

ing series of meetings before the

Location of the Garden.

In selecting the location for a
home vegetable garden the ques-
ton of proximity to the home
should be given first consideration.
As the work of caring for the
garden is usually done i'll spare
time, the location selected should
be as near the house as possible.
The slope and type of soil should
be the next consideration. A slope
to the south or southeast is usually
preferable, because here the soil
warns up early in the spring,
which permits early planting and
stimulates the early growth OF
crops. Practically any type OF
soil can be used for the garden,
but a sandy loan is to be preferred
Good drainage is of prime inn
portance. The land should have
