FISHING is GOOD NOW
SAYS DAVE FLEMING

David Fleming, the well known Maui
polo player, and recent convert to
game fishing, writes his brother John
Fleming, from the HOnolua ranch, ask
ing that he procure him a large reel,
his own having burned out.
THE ulua here are biting like La
haina mosquitoes" he wrote, "and my
reel is to small for the really big
ones. As result | have lost about four
fish lately which would have made
your eyes open.
Il saw a big swordfish in the chan
mel the other day near Kahului, and a
school of seven little ones. This big
one wouldn't bite but that was all
right, as | am richer by 800 yards of
line and a hook saved"
Fleming stated that Judge Edings is
the latest sportsman on Maui to take
up game fishing.

Sunday Movies Ordinance
Soon To Be Acted Upon

Despite a number of petitions a.
gainst the proposal, the supervisors,
last Saturday instructed the County
Attorney to prepare an ordinance COW
ering the authorization of moving pict-
ures on Sundays in the county. The
proposed ordinance will be acted upon
at the next meeting of the board. The
board specified that the new ordi-
nance shall limit the time of holding
Sunday performances to between $50
and 8 p. m. 1t was later stated by
some of the members that this may be
changed to $3.50 p. m, since in most
of the picture houses it is not dark
enough to show the pictures at $50
o'clock.
In connection with the petitions a.
gainst the proposed ordinance, the
fact that the same names appeared on
several petitions, and also that the
same handwriting seemed to be in evil
dence in different ones, probably re-
suited in their having less weight than
they might otherwise have had.

Maui PinkhamiteS
Win DeIegateShip
Raymond and Lyons Elected For Con-
ventiOn But McCandleSs Wing Wins
COmmitteeman-ClaimS of Fraud

While it seems generally conceded
that DR. J II. Raymond won by a
few votes the delegateship to the de-
mocratic national convention, and
thus scored a victory for the Pinkham
democrats on Maui, it is probable that
the democratic central committe may
take a hand in the local row and
possibly throw out some OF the Ray
mond votes on ground of fraud. Both
factions have been accusing each
other of crooked work at the last
Saturday party election on this island,
ever since the returns began to come
in.
While charges of various irregula-
ties or fraud practices are made con-
cerning the voting in various pre-
cincts, Paia and Hama are the chief
bones of contention. The McCand-
less faction claims that at Hama,
through the Vaccinations of H. E.
Palakiko, 35 ballots were cast by one
man, on proxy. At Paia the Pink
hamites claim that no precinct club
ever existed, and that the Al ballots
cast for Keohokalole were really de-
posted by republicans.
The returns from the Molokai settle
ment, which were not received until
Tuesday, was majority to Raymond
and the Pinkham ticket, and definitely
gave Raymond the lead of 25 votes.
In case the Paia and Hama returns
are both thrown out, Raymond will Of
course still be in the lead.
Warm Fight At Settlement
From reports reaching here from
the Molokai settlement it seems that
a warm fight took place in the Kala-
upapa precinct, where the vote stood
q for Raymond and % for Keohoka-
lole. At the precinct club election ].
X. Kainuwai, the old president, was
overthrown by ]. Kamealoha by vote
of AZ to Z; while Lui Luaiki beat Pa
hio Liilii for vice-president by a vote
of So to 6.
The best available returns show the
results of the contest on Maui as fol
lows:
For national committeeman-W. P.
Jarrett, 1913; John H. Wilson, 22S.
For delegate to the national con-
vention-Morris K. Keohokalole, 222;
DR.. j. H. Raymond, 247.
For alternately. B. Lyons, 24S;
Eugene Murphy, 1874.
For members territorial committee
returns from the Molokai
settlement have not been received for
committeeman, and may change re-
suit. AS it stands without these fig
ures the figures are: Jerry Burns, 291:
John N. Halemano, 1856; Nelson X.
Kaloa, 2S5; George P. Kauimakaole,
3O4; Henry C. Mossman, 354; J. T.
Unea, 292; John Wilcox, 2S2. The
six receiving the highest vote will be
elected.

WasedaS Will Play
Two Games On Maui

Through the efforts of a local jap
anese hui, the Waseda baseball team
which recently arrived in Honolulu
from Japan and has been playing a
series of games with the various Ho-
nolulu teams, will arrive on Maui next
Wednesday to try conclusions with an
all-Maui aggregation. Two games will
be played, the first on Saturday, April
2S and the second on the Sunday fol
lowing.
A meeting of the Maui Athletic AS
sociation was held last Monday night
when the matter was considered. NJ.
G. Paschoal was appointed manager
for the team to meet Wasedas. and
Foster Robinson, captain. George
Cummings was also named umpire for
the two games. The local association
is to have 10 per cent of the gross
receipts of the meet, and expenses are
being taken care of by the Maui Jap
anese interested in the matter.
From reports of the games played
in Honolulu local fans believe that the
Maui team will be able to give first
class account of itself

Held For Tampering
With Witnesses
Filipino Must Answer Murder Charge
Friend In Serious Trouble For
Trying To Help Him

In the district court this week,
Narcisco Tolojo, the Waikapu Filipino
shot and killed a fellow contryman,
Alfanso Dalang, and also shot but not
fatally the woman in the case, Mrs.
Maria Roffino Bagoa, was given q
hearing on charge of first degree
murder, and was committed to answer
an Indictment by the next grand jury.
AS a result of this case, Antonio
Gillen, a personal friend of the ac-
cused, is now also in Jail on charge
of subordination of perjury, and five
other Filipinos are also being held as
witnesses. At the hearing, when the
several witnesses were asked to sign
their sworn statements made before
the coroner's jury, they refused, and
finally admitted that their story at
that time was false. They then dec
Jared that they had sworn falsely at
the investigation of Gillen, who told
them that Tolojo would be released
if they did.
1t appears further that Gillen made
a strong effort to get all of the import
ant witnesses in the case away from
Maui, and was trying to raise the mo-
ney to send them from the territory
In order to Illustrate any other such
plan the witnesses have been taken
in custody.
The woman who was shot through
the right breast by Toloia, is now out
of the hospital, her wound proving not
to be of serious nature.

Work Has Begun On
Maui County Fair
Committee Organizes With EnthuSi
aSm-Time and Place Decided Up
on WadSwOrth Makes Guarantee

Maui will open its first county fair
on next Thanksgiving Day. This was
the decision of the fair executive COM
mittee which held its first meeting
on last Monday afternoon at the Wal
luku Town Hall. The big event is to
start on Thursday, November 30 and
wind up on Saturday, December 2. 1t
was also decided that Wailuku was
the place best suited at the present
time for holding the fair.
The meeting which was called by
Chairman r. A. Wadsworth, got down
to business at once by electing Angus
McPhee as treasurer and J. Garcia, as
secretary. Later d. T. Fleming was
elected vice-president, when it seemed
that such an official might come in
handy.
Besides the chairman, who was
chosen at the general meeting of citi-
zens held some weeks ago, the follow
ing members were present. AngusMc-
Phee, Maui Racing Association; J
Garcia, Chamber of Commerce; d. T.
Fleming, Board of Supervisors; DR.. J.
c. Fitzgerald, Board of Agriculture
and Forestry; James Lindsay, Haiku
Farmers Association; F. G. Krauss,
Hawaii Experiment Station; e. G
Moore, Extension Division; VIM. Nc
Cluskey, Department of Public Instruc-
ton; DR.. VIM. Osmers, Territorial
Board of Health. The committee was
added to by the election of F. c. Locey
of Haiku; Fred A. Cloves of Lahaina-
luna; and Will J. Cooper of Wailullu.
The spirit of optimism evident
throughout the meeting indicates that
the fair will be a great success. All
of the committee were enthusiastic ov-
er the prospects, and from the reports
made the same feeling exists general
ly all over the island.
No Limit On Exhibitors
1t was decided by the committee that
exhibits of all classes should be well
coined from all over the territory, and
that it would be mistake to attempt
to confine the enterprise to local ex-
hibitors.
At the next meeting, which is to be
called within short time by the chair
man, it is expected that the scope of
the fair will be definitely decided up
on, and chairmen of subcommittee
named to handle the different branch
es. 1t was the sense of the meeting
that much care should be exercised in
this matter of organizing, in that
much depends upon this for the
smooth working out of the ideas de-
cided upon.
Everybody's Fair
Another important policy empha-
sized was that the fair shall not be

County To Begin Suits
Against Hart'S Bond

Action Is to be begun at once in the
courts against the bondsmen of Ed
mund X. Hart, former circuit court
clerk who is now serving a minimum
of years in the penitentiary for en-
bezzlement of court funds. This act
ion was decided upon by the board of
supervisors last Saturday, and County
Attorney e. r. Bevins was instructed
accordingly. The supervisors took the
matter up on a statement from the
county auditor, showing a shortage of
between $4,000 and $4,000. Hart was un-
der bond at the time of his arrest, in
the sum of S2500, with w. T. Robin
son and A. Garcia as sureties. This
bond covers only the period that Hart
held oft1ce after the appointment of
Judge Edings to the bench, a new
bond having been required of him at
that time. The shortage during this
period accounts to some $500, and is
therefore fully covered.
County attorney Bevins has noti-
fed Hart's previous bondsmen that
the county will look to them for the
reimbursement of the county for Hart's
defalcation during the time their
bond existed, to the extent of that
liability, which was also for s25OO.
The bondsmen in this instance were
f. F. Baldwin, Pia Cockett, w. L.
Decoto and w. T. Robinson.
Unless the bondsmen fight the case
in the courts and win, the county will
be reimbursed to the extent of some
$4,000. 1t is stated that it is possible
that a fight against payment of the
bond money may be made on ground
that the county auditor was negligent
in his duty in not having kept a check
on the clerk. Should this be sustain
ed, Attorney Bevins stated yesterday
that 1t will probably be necessary to
sue on the bond of Auditor Wilcox.
AS it looks now, the county will lose
some S11OO through the insufTiciency
of Hart's bond

WILL AMEND
GARAGE ORDINANCE

The proposed garage ordinance for
the county of Maui was not passed
at the last weeks meeting of the su-
pervisors, going over till the next
meeting for the purpose of having
certain amendments made which had
been suggested. Although there was
strong protest made by automobile
men of Wailuku and Lahaina, it
seems likely that the measure will be
passed in its amended form This
will require that any building used
for the purpose of a public garage,
and located within 90 feet Of any
building, shall be provided with con-
crete floor and be lined with metal,
or other fireproof material to height
of feet above the floor.

HOWELL COMPANY LANDS
cULVERT CONTRACT

The Hugh Howell Engineering
Company was last Saturday granted
the contract for constructing several
concrete culverts on the Wailuku-La-
haina road, south of Waikapu, at its
bid of $2,44O, time 40 days The other
tenders received were-J. c. Foss, Jr.,
$3,5SS.S5, time 45 days; and Picanco
Bros, $2,760, J. Emmesley's bid of
81 ,9SS got in 10 minutes late and was
thrown out, a fact that did not appear
to seriously depress the bidder, pos
sibly for the reason that this tender
was over 500 under the estimate OF
the county engineer.

GUARD GROWTH
REDUCES POLL TAXES

Maui county will have between 81,

nary revenues through the growth Of
the national guard. Guardsmen are
exempt from paying the regular $5 per
year poll tax, and the increasing Of
the enrolment some 500 or more
cuts down the tax returns according
ly. The decrease throughout the terri
tory from this cause is estimated at
about $4,000.
