Diptheria Epidemic
Has Three Victims
Wide Spread OF Disease Causes Some
UneasineSS- No Cases Reported
From Lahaiua Side.

Several deaths in a dozen or more
cases of diphtheria in central and east
Maui in the past two weeks, is caus-
ing the health department consider
able worry. The present epidemic eX-
tends from Wailuku to Peahi. From
the latter place Japanese family
named Furollu, consisting of father
mother, and children, were on Mon
day afternoon removed to the quar-
antine camp at Paia, most of them
suffering from the disease. While
being brought to the camp in automo-
biles, one of the children died. Euro
ku is well known as vegetable grow
er. A small Portuguese child in the
Paia camp also died of diphtheria
last Saturday.
In Wailuku the little five year old
daughter of Alex Rodrigues succumb-
ed to the disease last week, and a
number of other members of the fam
lily are i'll. At Puunene, NJ. G. Pasch-
oal, the plantation police officer, is in
quarantine suffering from a mild at
tack of diphtheria, presumably con-
tracted in the course of his duties a
bout the camps, and at Paia the tele-
phone central" has been under quar-
antine until this week
Chief Sanitary Inspector Osmer
states that there are no cases so far
as is known, on the Lahaina side Of
the island.

Many Water Users
County KnewNotOf
Connections On Kula Pipe Not On
Record-Superintenden COpp Do
ing Good WOrk-COunty To Sue.

A delinquent list of some 20 names,
and representing about $500 in money
owing the county for water furnished
from the Makawao pipe line, was ord
cred turned over to the county attor-
ney for collection, by the supervisors
at the meeting on Saturday. This is
about half of the delinquencies up to
about two months ago, according to
the report of Waterworks Superin-
tendent George Copp. The rest of
the money, Mr.. Copp succeeded in col
lecting.
The board was also advised that the
water has been turned off from eight
Wailuku privilege holders, for non
payment of rates due, and steps were
ordered taken to collect.
Many Receipts Found
In his efforts to collect back dues in
the Makawao and Kula sections, Sup
erintendent Copp reported that he was
confronted with many receipts, no re-
cord of the payments they represented
appearing on the books. Also some
Is water connections were found on
the system, of which the county had
no record.
Substantial progress in improving
the Makawao waterworks system is re
ported. Good progress is being made
in burying the pipe line, the Waika-
moe reservoir has been cleaned out,
and repairs have been made to many
trestles. About 20 new meters have
also been installed during the past
month.

Good Suggestions
Offered For Fair
Object For Which New Enterprise
Should Stand Set Forth In Letter
By Experiment Station Man.

Frederick G. Krauss, director of
the extension division of the Hawaii
experiment station, at Haiku, and a
homesteader in the Kuiaha district.
in letter to the Maui chamber of
commerce, read at the meeting on
Thursday, has set forth the objects
for which the fair should stand, in a
most comprehensive and excellent
manner. His suggestions will doubt
less prove most helpful in making
Maui's fair the success it should be.
He says
"One of the important functions of
the Agricultural Extension Division
is to encourage just such enterprises
as a good county fair stands for This
l take to be, nominally at least, "for
the upbuilding of agriculture gener-
ally, and to lead up to such ideals as
will elevate, inspire, educate, and
broaden the thought and activities
of the rural people; and to bring
into closer understanding and sym
pathy our urban and rural popula-
tions as well.
"A good fair is one that entertains
and educates. For it's best success
it must do both. 1t should be an
agricultural exhibition essentially
also fundamentally useful to intelli-
gent practical farmers and their fam
lilies. And these things also appeal
to the city people when rightly pre-
sented. People will attend a fair if
there is anything interesting and ben
eficial going on There are various
ways to make it so,-among them:
Appoint directors and superinten-
dents for their willingness to work
and ability to accomplish results.
Exclude all Objectionable side
shows, catch penny schemes, and
venders Of worse than useless trash.
"Offer liberal, well-proportioned
prizes for the best exhibits of every
thing agricultural, but of course care
fully classified. Also arrange, so far
as possible, adequate means for the
care and protection of exhibits,
whether of livestock, crops or what
not.
Il believe it would be well to en-
phasize the old fashioned arts of the
household, by Offering liberal prizes
for exhibits of home cooking, pre-
serving, sewing, etc.
provide a special department for
the use of our College of Agriculture,
the Hawaii Agricultural, and Hawaii
an Sugar Planters Experiment sta
tions. The Board of Agriculture and
Forestry, and other agricultural bod
les of the Territory.

Maui County Fair
Definitely Launched
Well Attended Meeting Of Citizens
Strongly FavOrS Idea-FirSt Steps
Of Organization Taken.

Maui is to have a county fair. That
was decided upon at a representative
meeting of Maui citizens held at the
Wailuku town hall on Thursday af-
ternoon. The fair will probably be
held some time during the coming
summer, though there was some talk
of holding it during the Thanksgiving
week. A suggestion made by F. F.
Baldwin that the idea be given up for
this year on account of the fact that
the national guard encampment and
the general work of organizing the
militia on Maui occupy the attention
of many persons, did not meet with
approval, and it was definitely decided
to undertake the big proposition.
Before the meeting adjourned Chair
man r. A. Wadsworth was empow-
cred form an executive committee
of 13 members, nominations for
which are to be made by the different
organizations and of the county and
territory interested in such an affair,
he himself to be chairman of such
committee. 1t is intended that this
shall be representative of all agricul-
tural, commercial and educational in
terests in the community, and it is to
have power increase its membership,
and to appoint subcommittee to
10
wich the affair willnaturally be divid-
ed. The committee is to be ofrmed
as soon as practicable, and it is ex-
pected to have working organization
formed within two or three weeks.
Cooperation Promised
DR.. Victor A. Norgaard, territorial
veterinarian, who came from Homo
lulu especially to attend the meeting
as representative of the board of ag-
riculture and forestry, brought word
that the several divisions of his de-
partment will be represented at the
fair, and will do all possible to help
make it a success. He specifically
mentioned the bureau of animal in
dustry, the bureau of entomology and
the division of forestry as having in
mind exhibits of as comprehensive
character as possible.
Supervisor d. T. Fleming stated
that the supervisors, at their meeting
last Saturday, had discussed the pro-
posed fair at considerable length, and
stood ready to back up the project in
every way possible.
DR.. Norgaard was enthusiastic on
the matter of the fair, stating that
the success of the first Hilo fair, last
year, in spite of three days of heavy
rains, bad roads, and other handicaps,
had been so marked, and the enthu-
siasm so great that he felt confident
that if Maui people could get some of
the same kind of enthusiasm there
would be no question as to the sue
cess of the recent undertaking.
w, F. Pogue spoke most strongly in
favor of the idea, declaring that he
believes such an enterprise to be one
of Maui's greatest needs at present,
inasmuch as it will bring the people
into closer touch with each other and
stimulate various lines of industry
that particularly need stimulating.
Itwas on Mr. Pogue's motion that the
committee of Is was appointed, after

Hart Pleads Guilty
To Embezzlement
Appeals to Mercy of Court Will Be
Sentenced Tomorrow ASsailantS
of W. G. Scott Plead Not Guilty.

Edmund H. Hart, indicted for the
embezzlement of $5336.eo of the funds
of the End Circuit Court, this morn
ing pleaded guilty to the charge.
Judge Edings announced that SEN
tence will be pronounced at 10o'eock
tomorrow morning. Harris defalcat-
ion occurred during the time he was
clerk of the court.
At the request of Attorney JamesL
Coke, who isleaving for Honolulu this
evening, Judge Edings convened
court at two o'clock this afternoon in
order to give Mr.. Coke an opportunity
to make a statement in connection
with the sentencing of Hart. Cokes
address was brief, and his plea for len
iency in sentence was based largely
on the fact that the former clerk is
the father of IL children, 6of whom are
still dependent on him,and any penal
ty imposed must also bring hardship
to them.
1t was generally supposed that fol
lowing this appeal, sentence would
be Immediately imposed, but Judge
Edings repeated his former order that
the case would be taken up tomorrow
morning.
Some surprise was expressed
when the list of indictments return
ed by the grand jury was read, at the
opening of court this morning, that
but one indictment had been returned
against Hart. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the prosecution felt eXtrem-
ely confident in it's one charge, the
amount of the defalcation being that
shown by Hart's own cash book. 1t is
also known that there are various
other shortages in accounts not those
of the circuit court, but from estate
funds and other moneys entrusted to
the clerk, and these might still be
the basis of further prosecution.
Twelve True Bills
The grand jury returned in all IL
indictments following which it was
excused for the term. All of the ac
cused were in court when the grand
jury reported, and were arraigned i'm
mediately after. The indictment were
as follow:
All Fook, having sexual intercourse
with female under Is. Plea tomorrow
morning, Enos Vincent attorney for
defendant.
Charles Delgado, having sexual in
tercourse with female under Is. Plea
reserved.
Okamoto, assault and battery with
weapon. Plea not guilty.
Akana Lum Ko, passing a forged
paper. Plea of guilty.
Victoria Sebalbuino, assault and
battery with a weapon. Plea of
guilty.
Sakai Takayama, forgery Plea re-
served till Saturday. Eugene Murphy,
attorney for defendant.
Teofilo Ledisma, burglary in first
degree. Plea of guilty.
Edmund H. Hart, embezzlement.
Plea Of guilty.
John Lincoln, Sam Likana, William
Kaaimoku, and William Ioana, sepa-
rately indicted for assault and battery
on w. G. Scott. Pleaded not guilty.
Trial Jury Next Monday
The trial jury, which is summoned
for Monday morning at 10 o'clock, will
begin the trial of the above cases, as
well as some II other criminal cases,
besides or 10 civil cases in which
jury trial has been demanded.

port, states that it made a tho
