Reinhardt Awarded
$1,000 AS Damages
Judge EdingS Hold County Was Gross
ly At Fault In Hama Case - Will
Be Appealed

Charging that the county had been
grossly negligent in permitting the
deep wash-out in the Hama road to
remain unguarded by railing or other
protection, Judge Edngs on Monday
rendered a decision in the Reinhardt
damage suit against the county, a
warding the plaintiff the sum of $4,000
Although the County Attorney adj
vised the board that it was probably
doubtful whether or not the case
could be reversed in the supreme
court on points of law, for the reason
thai the responsibility of the county
seems almost conclusive, it was de
cided this morning to take the matter
up in order to clear the way for pos
sible action on the part of the county
TO recover on Former Engineer Hugh
Howell's bond.
Charles Reinhardt, sugar boiler for
the Kaeleku Sugar Company. proved
in court last week that he had sus-
tanned numerous fractures of ribs,
and limbs, besides other serious in
juries from which he never recover
ed, when he walked into the big wash
out in the dark. He had brought
suit through Case and Vincent for
$4,000. County Attorney Bevins
introduced no testimony, but made a
strong fight against the county's
responsibility for the accident. DR..
G. E. Straub, of Honolulu, as a witness
for the plaintiff, exhibited a number
of X-ray pictures which be had taken
of Reinhardt's fractures. His testi-
mony was given last Saturday morn
ing, following which the case was sub
miIted.

Racing Association
Ball Was Brilliant

Although the weather was anything
but favorable, the roads in most of
the country districts being all but i'm
passable on account of the rains. the
annual fancy dress ball of the Maui
Racing Association, held last Satur-
DAY night, was one of the most sue
cessful of any yet given. Not only
were the cotumes of more striking
originality than heretofore, but a Iarg-
er proportion of the dancers were in
costume. This is the first year that
the ball has opened with all on the
foor en- masque, and this innovation
added much to the hilarity of the oc-
casion.
The Kahului Lyceum, where the
ball was held, was beautifully decora-
ted, with flags, bunting and greens.
IL had been expected that a number of
Honolulu guests would be present to
attend the polo game which had been
scheduled for the day, but the inclem-
ent weather caused the calling off of
the game, and as a consequence the
Honolulu players did not arrive. The
proceeds of the ball are to be used to
defray the debts of the association.

Oahu Polo Stars
Coming For 2 Games
Famous All-Hawaii Coast Team OF
1913 Will Once More Play Together
-4th. of July Game Also Planned

The opening polo game of the seas
on, which was to have been played
between the Maui and the Oahu
teams on the new Keahua field last
Saturday but which was deferred on
account of the wet weather, will be
played a week from tomorrow, May
20. Besides this, another game is to
be played on the following Monday,
in which the All-Hawaii team which
played on the coast in 1913, will try
conclusions with a picked team of
Maui players.
The Oahu players, who are expected
to arrive by the Manoa on Friday or
Saturday of next week, are-Arthur
Rice, Harold Castle, and Walter Dill
bingham. For Saturdays game this
crack trio will be loaned Dave Flem-
ing. The Maui team will consist of
Harold Rice, A. w. Collins, Sam Bald
win, and F. F. Baldwin.
The only change in the makeup of
the Oahu team to get the All-Hawaii
team of three years ago, for the Mon
day game, will be the replacement of
Fleming by Frank Baldwin.
The Oahu players are not
bringing their horses with
them this trip. being sup
piled with mounts from among Maui
ponies. Also the games will be alter
ed slightly by having instead of the
regulation 8 periods.
1t is probable that another game
will be arranged for on the local
grounds for the Fourth of July.

ago. In letter to County Clerk Kaae,
announcing the appointment of DIR.

calf, and in company with
others INDUCED in a big luau.
News of the affair reached Superin-
tendent Pia Cockett, of the ranch,
who discovered the skin of the calf,
and got other evidence. A. M. Brown,
of Honolulu, manager of the ranch,
who happened to be on Maui, is said
to have announced a determination
to vigorously prosecute the case, no.
withstanding efforts made by friends
of the accused men to make good
the loss. The affair has caused some
thing of sensation within a small
circle, as the men are well known
and have many friends in Wailuku.

Parker Ranch Nav
Exhibit At Fair
A. W. Carter Enthusiastic Over Under
taking But Doesn't Like Date -
Committee Meeting Today

The members of the Maui County
Fair executive committee are much
pleased with the indications being re-
ceived from every source that the big
undertaking for next Thanksgiving is
to be fully as successful as they have
believed possible. The interest dis
played from all over the territory in
the enterprise, as well as the local in
terest, is extremely encouraging.
The following letter received by
Secretary j. Garcia, this week, from
A. W. Carter, indicates that Maui may
hope to see an exhibit of some of the
fine Parker Ranch cattle and horses:
"Mr. ]. Garcia

Association is no longer alive. would
suggest that you write to the individ-
ual ranch men regarding your exhibit.
81 am preparing some stock, cattle
and horses, for the Hawaii County
Fair to take place in September and
it may be that l will be able to send
some of the stock to Maui to partici-
pate there. 1t would give me great
pleasure to do so if it is a possible
thing. Transportation is a serious
problem in handling fine stock and
there is a further obstacle which l
think should be remedied in the fu-
ture, that is, that the county fairs
should be held within two or three
weeks of one another. Perhaps if the
committee got together they could ar
range a schedule which would be
more convenient to the live stock
breeder. My stock will have to be
fitted to go into the ring in September.
Your show coming off in the last of
November necessitates keeping these
animals in show condition for an in
teryal of over two months for the
next exhibit which takes place. This
is not good for the animal and en-
tails necessarily a large expense.

ranch If | intended to show them on
Maui. 1t will necessitate my either
keeping them in Hilo for a long period
of time or shipping them down to Maui
a couple of months ahead of the show.
This is not meant to be a complaining
but simply suggestive, and whether
or not | hope that your
fair will be great success. l think
no better work can be done than along
the lines which you gentlemen are
working.
Yours very truly,
"(Signed) ALFRED w. CARTER"
Committee Meeting Today
The executive committee, which
was unable to get together last week
on account of the bad weather, is
meeting this afternoon, and it is ex-
pected that most of the sub-commit-
tees which will handle the different
branches of the fair will be appointed
at this time. The committee will al |

George H. Cummings was yesterday
afternoon appointed by County Sheriff
Crowell to be deputy sheriff, succeed

Cummings Not New to Job
George Cummings, who began his
duties as deputy sheriff yesterday, is
not new to the job, though he has
not been connected with the police
department of the county for 13 years.

however, he held the position of can

l.. M Baldwin. At the same time
Sheriff Glen Crowell was lieutenant
OF police. Cummings held the first
place on the police force for a number
OF years, going "out the back door"
when the office became an elective
one after the establishment of the
present county system. An interest
ing coincidence is the fact that Cum
mings is now for a second time stepp-
ing into the shoes of Johnnie Ferreira
in the police department. The first
time was when he was promoted from
police clerk to be police captain, after
Ferreira, who was then captain. had
resigned to accept private position.
Cummings record is said to have been
good under the old regime, and Sheriff
Crowell believes he will make good
again.
Harry Mossman May Get Job
George Cummings leaves the local
tax office to take his new job, wher
he had been deputy to Assessor Ku-
newa for the past three or four
months. 1t is now reported on good
authority that w. e. Cockett, who has
been clerk in the tax Office for a
number of years, has been recon-
mended for promotion to Cummings
shoes; and that Harry C. Mossman,
the Wailuku lawyer, and energetic
democratic worker, is to succeed
Cockett. This is not fully confirmed,
but it is not denied by those who are in
position to know. Mossman had
general charge of DR.. Raymond's
campaign in the recent party election,
by which the Doctot secured the
election as delegate to the St Louis
convention, after vigorous fight.

COMMUNICATION LINE CUT
All Wire Lines To Pershing Are Sew,
cred by Bandits and Wireless
Fails to Work.

Ell Paso. Texas.-Following hard on
the news that the Mexican TELEGRAPH,
and telephone wires between Juarez
and Cascas Grandes had been cut,
word has come from Columbus in a
dispatch passed by the censor that
both wireless and ground wire com
munication with Gen. Pershing had
failed. The army field wire between
Columbus and headquarters of the ex.
peditionary force was severed in %
places, it was said. The cause of the
trouble with the wireless is unknown.
Gen. Gavira, at Juarez, has admitted
that he had failed to restore wire com.
munication with Cascas Grandes, and
1t was practically conceded by the
Mexican official that the cutting of
wires was the result Of a raid of Villa
bandits. The damage done was either
unknown or surpassed.
In the absence of any news from
either Gen. Pershing or Gen. Gavira.
there was nothing but conjecture as to
the result of the fighting between Villa
and the Carranza forces, said to have
occurred near Namiquipa.

CARRANZA'S STRANGE SHIFT
Mexican Army Moved To Border and
Now Lies Between Gen. %Pershine's
Force and the U. S,

Ell Paso, Texas.-Much excitement
was occasioned here when it became
known that the largest part of Car.
ranza's army in North Mexico had
been transferred to the border and
now lies between Gen. Pershing's
force and the border.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex.
planned. 1t is impossible even to
make a fair estimate Of the number
of men under Gen. Gavira at Juarez.
The large staff at his headquarters
and the fact that new troops are ar.
irving daily indicates that his force
is a large one. The most conservative
estimate places it at 5000, and calcu.
latiens range from that point upward
to 5000. Every precaution has been
taken to prevent the facts being
known, and most of the men are kept
outside the town among the hills. Re.
ports from Aqua Prieta and Ojinaga
tell of Mexican re-enforcements reach
ing those points also, but nothing is
known as to their numbers.
There is no question that there is
serious and growing uneasiness in Ell
Paso which has been sharply accentu.
ated by the problem which has arisen
over the request Of the United States
government to Gen. CarranZa for the
use of the Mexican railroads to trans
port supplies. Americans here do not
believe that Carranza dare grant this
request, especially as it is understood
that Gen. Funston proposes, if it is
granted, to take train crews and equip.
ment into Mexico and place military
guards at the stations. The presence
of American soldiers on Mexican rail-
roads, it is said, would be very likely
misunderstood by the poems, end it is
feared would be sure to provoke out
breaks.

Amsterdam.-The newest and finest
steamship sailing under the Dutch flag
the Tubantia. of the H~olland-Lloyd line,
has been sunk 80 miles OF the Dutch
coast.
Although it is not positively estab-
lished whether the sinking was due to
a mine or a torpedo. there Is a singular
unanimity on the part of those who
were on board in attributing it to a

belief in this regard chiefly on the in.
tense violence Of the explosion and in
the fact that it occurred amidships.
The vessel was outward bound from
Amsterdam to South American ports,

The ship bore the usual Identification

1t is now believed there was a small
number of lives lost in the sinking of
the T%ubantia, either in the explosion or
in an accident which attended launch
ing of a lifeboat. The steamship re-
manned afloat several hours.
According to all reports there was
no panic, every one on board behaving
splendidly.
The boats were launched in their ap.
pointed order and the passengers we're
all taken off first. The rescue work
was difficult owing to the darkness,
the heavy mist and the rough sea. The
boats were several hours in finding the
