First Polo Match
To Be Held In May
Big Racing Association Dance Will Be
Held On Night Of Game - A Big
Social Event

Plans are now on foot for the
annual fancy dress ball of the Mau
Racing Association, which will be
given probably early in May. The
affair is to be made coincident with
the first polo contest Of the season,
which is to be played on the new
Keahua field, and will be one of the
most important society events of
the year.
The polo game will be between the
Oahu and Maui teams. The local
team is already practising hard, and
has full confidence of being able to
carry off the honors, particularly with
the splendid new grounds to practice
upon. Experts who have seen the
field claim that there is nothing equal
to it i'm the way of polo field east of
New York. The stables, which will &C.
commodate 40 horses in 16N16 foot box
stalls, are something like shese Of the
Coronado Club.

EdingS Holds Mckay
May Demand Receipt

Judge Edings for the first time
this morning, passed upon the merits
of the receipt controversy of Attorney
Eugene Murphy in his various suits
for small amounts of costs, against
Judge Mckay, district magistrate. In
giving his decision, which was in a
suit for the recovery of 80 cents, Judge
Edings held that it is proper for the
district magistrate to require a receipt
for monies paid out, even though. as
Murphy contends, the territorial laws
do not mention the matter The facts
in the case were not contradicted.
The money in question was rendered
to Murphy and a receipt demanded,
and when Murphy declined to give
such receipt, the payment was with
held
The case will be carried to the
supreme court Previous cases taken
to the higher tribunal were thrown
out on irregularities, without the real
question at issue being settled. Case
and Vincent are representing Judge
Mckay in the matter, Murphy person
ally handling his side of the case.

Think Raymond Will
Soon Be Appointed

Following DR.. Raymond's statement
to the Maui News, last Friday that he
would accept the appointment TO the
place onthe board of supervisors made
vacant by Philip Pali's resignation,
opinion on Maui is strong that the ap-
pOintment win soon be forthcoming
from the Governors office. Senator
James /. Coke, who has been on
Maui on court business,and who is
wise in democratic councils is report
ed to have predicted this as a practi-
cal certainty. The fact that Dr. Ray
mond has not asked the governor for
the place, it is not believed will have
any bearing on the matter It is stat
ed that Senator Coke, who returned to
Honolulu on Wednesday night, will
probably make strong recommends
ton to Governor Pinkham in the mat
ter, while the democratic country com
mitee has already sent in a resolution
urging the appointment.

Believe Missing Man
Was Murdered
Mystery of MOIOkai Chinese Not Clear
ed Up-BOdy Can Not Be Found
Death Seems Certain

Sheriff Crowell and several deputies,
who have been on Molokai for over
week, searching for some trace of
the missing Chinaman, Wong Wal
Bound, returned home last night after
fruitless work. 1t is now believed
that the missing man is not only dead,
but that his death was due to foul
play. Otherwise there seems to be no
explanation for the disappearance Of
his body
The theory of the officer is that
when the missing man left his home
about 8 o'clock in the morning of the
18th inst. for the purpose of paroling
his fish pond, which he believed was
being plundered, that he was set upon
by the fish thieves, murdered, and his
body taken to sea in boat and thrown
overheard. If the man had committed
suicide, it seems impossible that the
body should not be found, inasmuch
as the water about the pond is shall
low Sheriff Crowell will probably re-
turn to Molokai TO further investigate
the matter.

National Guard May
Enter Ball League
Matter Being Considered - Athletic
Association Elects 0GCerS-Meet-
ing Called For April II

What the coming season holds for
baseball on Maui, is the question that
is agitating the local fans at present.
There is a strong move on foot to
make the coming series a military one.
In other words, that The three or four
teams to form the league shall repre-
sent the different militia divisions of
the local national guard. Ii is pro
posed that the 1st Battalion (Wailu-
ku) enter one team, the 2nd Battalion
(Lahaina), another, and the 3rd Bat
talon, Puunene and Paia) still an
other. II is urges, that inasmuch as
all of the best bah material is in the
guard, and as the athletic officers Of
the regiment propose having baseball
as a part of the military program dur
ing the summer. that the usual league
teams will find difficulty in getting
players unless some kind of combina-
ton can be effected.
The annual meeting of the Maui
Athletic Association was held last
Tuesday evening, and the old officers
all reelected as follows: r. A. Wads-
worth president; e. b. Carley, vice
president; ]. Garcia, treasurer; w. F.
Coclkett, secretary; L. NJ. Baldwin,
auditor.
1t was decided to hold a meeting on
Tuesday, April II, for receiving and
passing upon applications Of teams for
the 1916 series. Its understood that
Capt. Cummings, of Company D,
national guard, will enter a team from
his company, whether the guard is
otherwise represented or not.
I,tI
The Waikapus won for a second
time from the Saints in the champion
ship series of the Winter League, last
Sunday, by a score of 10 to Z. The
slimmest crowd on record witnessed
the game. If the Waikapus can take
next Sundays game it will finish the
series, but the Saints still have a
chance to tie the score.

Maui Scouts Are For
Real Preparedness
Wailuku Troops Doing Good Work
Address By George Wilbur-COm,
petition Planned Soon

Thursday night which has become
known as Scout Night" at the Alex
ander House Gynasiung, is a time
for great activity since the reorganiza-
ton of Scouting in Wailullu. A feature
of the meeting last night was a talk
by George Wilbur, head luna of the
Wailufu Sugar Co., entitled "Cane
Fires" Mr. Wilbur gave the boys
some interesting facts on cane fires
and their origin and the best methods
of stopping them. This is one of a
series of talks to be given the boys to
prepare them to be more useful in this
community and to better follow the
Scout motto: BE Prepared"
A part of the Scout Program all
over the world is the Daily Good
Turn" Each boy promises to do a
good turn each day for which he re-
ceives no money and often no thanks
A report was made of the good turns
for the past week and they ranged
all the way from helping Mother wash
the dishes to picking up nails and
horseshoes on the road and helping
older people carry bundles.
A new troop, which is known as
Troop 2,-Herbert Young, Scout
master,-and which is composed en-,
tirely of Chinese boys, is making a
particularly fine showing. At the last
meeting every boy was present with
some kind and helpful act to report
The average attendance of this troop
for the month has been SO per cent
On the next Scout Night in the
Gymnasium will begin a series OF
inter-troop competitions in volley ball
doge ball, and indoor baseball. The
boys are looking forward to this with
keen interest. The work of the re
organized Maui Scout Council, in pro
noting these activities, is a real "pre
paredness" program; preparedness in
better citizenship and more responsible
lity in the community on the part Of
the boys who are growing up.

Haiku Farmers To
Hold Important Meeting

An important meeting of the Haiku
Farmers Association has been called
for tomorrow evening at the Kuiaha
schoolhouse, for the purpose of hear
ing a report fro ma committee appoint
ed to investigate the outlook for the
pineapple market for the future, and
thepossibility of making advantageous
contracts with the canning companies
for handling the fruit E. c. Moore, of
the committee, returned on Wednes-
day night from Honolulu where he
went to take the matter up with Pre-
sident Dole, of the Haiku Fruit and
Packing Company. 1t is understood
that no agreement was arrived at, but
that there is a possibility that an ac-
ceptable proposition may come from
the Maui Pineapple Company.
Vegetables Wanted.
1t is probable also that the matter
of growing vegetables for the local
market will also receive attention.
Frank Stevens, manager of the Paia
Meat Market is expected to address
the meeting on this matter. The diff
ficulty of supplying, even in part, the
demand for fresh vegetables, insures,
Mr.. Stevens believes, the best of in
ducement to the hOmesteadrs to take
up this class of farming.
1t is expected also that a represent
ative of the association on the eXecu-
tive committe of the Maui County
Fair, will also be named.

Democrats TO Fight
For DeIegateShip
Pinkham and MCCandleSS Factions
Preparing For Fray-RepublicanS
HarmO thousand Interest Lacking

A general apathy marks political
affairs in Maui, as far as the republi-
cans are concerned. The coming con-
vention in Honolulu has failed to a.
rouse more than faint interest, and
while delegates were elected in most
Of the precincts, last Saturday. there
was no semblance of rivalry for the
positions. Maui will try to have a
representative to the national conven-
ton, and will doubtless work to that
end in the convention in Honolulu
next Monday. The idea that Oahu has
already framed the slate for the big
show not particularly pleasing here,
and it is more than likely that the
Maui delegates will join forces with
Hawaii and Kauai if necessary to de-
feat such a program.
Democrats Split.
Things are not so harmonious in the
ranks of the Maui democrats, and
when the party election is held on
April Is, it is certain that the Nc
Candless and Pinkham factions on
this Island will be sharply divided
The fight at the party polls for dele
gate and alternate to the democratic
national convention, to be held in St
Louis, on June IA, will be between
Morris Keohokale for delegate with
Eugene Murphy as alternate, repre-
senting the McCandless wing; and Dr.
j. II. Raymond with T. B. Lyons, re-
presenting the Pinkham faction. At
the present time the strength on this
island seems to be with the Pinkham-
ties, most of the prominen party work
ers seemingly being lined up on that
side.
Delegates Leave Tonight.
Most of the republican delegates to
Mondays convention will leave this
evening by the Mauna Kea. Some of
the Hama members went down on
Wednesday nights Claudine. Those
who go from the Wailuku precinct
are: Senator H. B. Penhallow, Charles
Wilcox, P. ]. Goodness, and Moses
Kauhimahu.

Nothing Definite On
Makawa0 HOmesteads

A request to the territorial land de-
partment for information as to when
the Makawao homestead lots are to be
opened for settlement, has brought the
information from Land Commissioner
Rivenburgh that nothing definite can
be said on the matter at the present
time, but that it is hoped to take the
matter up as soon as other pressing
matters are satisfied, at least temper
arily.
There has been much interest on
Maui concerning these lands, which
were subdivided six or eight months
ago, and of which it is understood
maps have been prepared. A road
system was also laid out through the
tract by the department of public
about a year ago.

Governor Pinkham Is
Coming to Maui Soon

According to a wireless received to-
day from the Governors Office, by The
county clerk, Governor Pinkham will
be a visitor to Maui as soon as he
returns from a trip which he is to
make to Kauai next week. Although
the message did not SO state, it is
believed that the chief executives vi
sit has to do with the filling of the
vacancy in the board of supervisors;
although national guard matters, loan
fund work, or another of other things
might be the occasion of his coming.

ELECTRIC COMPANY GETS
NEW ENGINE

The Island Electric Company has
been engaged this week in installing
new Diesel type engine in its plant,
to supplement its present power
equipment. The installation is in
charge of j. C. Blair, who came here
from St Louis for the purpose. 1t is
hoped to have the engine running
within another week, after which the
company will be in position to furnish
a much more dependable service.

MAY PERSONALLY CONDUCT"
THE TOURIST.

Hollis Hardy, of Makawao, who re-
Gently became a member of the pro
motion committee staff, returned to
Honolulu last Saturday after spending
several days looking into the matter
of entertaining a personally conducted
party of tourists, which the tourist or
ganizatiOn is planning to send to
Maui. If these plans work out, Mr..
Hardy will probably be a frequent Wis
itor to his home island, in the capacity
of conductor for these tours.

according to the Austro-Hungarian war
office, with the Teutons holding all

Only One Chapter Ended.
That this ends only one phase of the
offensive, however is indicated by the
Austrian official statement that Rus
sian reenforcements are being thrown
into East Galicia. The Austrians all
along have considered that the big
Russian offensive was undertaken with
important military and political OBJ
jects in view. To it has been attrib-
uted the dual purpose of lessening the
strain on the entente allies in the Bal
kans and possibly of causing Rumania
to enter the war on the side of the en-
tente allies.

NIGHT RIDERS IN PLOTS TO KILL
Would Stay Merchants and Put Torch
to Towns in Missouri


New Madrid, Mo.=How the plans of
night riders of southeast Missouri to
burn several towns and to kill the lead
ing merchants, manufacturers and land
owners in those towns were frustrated
by the arrest of 81 members of the Sc
cret band several months ago was told
on the witness stand in court here last
Wednesday by confessed riders. who
are being tried on charges of assault
with intent to kill'' and CONSUMING
with intent to kill"
Jerusalem" was the password of the
night riders. "To do the bidding of
the majority" was the vow, and death
was the penalty for failure to obey.
according to the testimosy of Hobart
Shipman, Walter WILDLY and George
Perry
This trio, with hore than three score
others, were arrested several months
ago after the night riders besieged sir
detectives who had spent two weeks in
the woods and swamps of New Madrid
and surrounding counties working as
lumberjacks with the night riders by
day and spying on their meetings at
night.

Wilson Takes Full Charge.

Washington.-Pres Wilson is
planning to assume personal leadership
in the fight for a stronger army and
navy. So many reports have reached
him of confusion over the issue before
congress and of the uncertainty of the
outcome that he has determined not
only to go before the country in pub
lie addresses, but to confer further on
the subject with leaders of the senate
and house.
