POISON SPREADER ENDANGERS
LIVES OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

was wise one is now made certain
by the receipt of letter from the
Honolulu Office of the territorial
board of health, where the bread was
examined. The letter states that
strychnine in large quantities was
found in the bread, which was given
to W. B. Bairos, the deputy food COM
missioner, for analysis.
In letter to County Attorney Be
wins, the board of health man writes
as follows:
'In regard to a number of scraps
of bread, submitted by you on Novem-
ber 20, 1916, and said to have been
picked up by the police department
of Mal1awao in the yard of the Japan
ese school at Keokea, Maui, l beg to
state that the same has been analysed
by this office and found to contain
strychnine in considerable quantity"

By spreading pieces of bread con-
tanning strychnine about the building
and yard of Japanese school at
Keokea the lives of many young
Japanese school children were endang-
cred by a vengeful resident of the
district, whose motive seems to have
been to poison the dog of an enemy.
About week ago eight or ten dogs
died in one night in that district and
since then the police have been in
investigation the matter, as it was
charged by some of the Japanese that
an attempt had been made to poison
the children of the school by some
ant-Oriental fanatic. This was after

Abundant proof of the bound to be
success of the Maui County Fair was
given yesterday, when nearly thirty
heads of Maui business enterprises
gathered in the Town Hall for the fin
al general meeting of the various
committees. 1t was the largest and
most enthusiastic meeting of the
chairmen held since the inception OF
the fair.
Progress was reported by every
chairman present, in realty the re-
ports were nearly all of the consuma-
| ton of efforts of the committeeman.
Without exception, it developed that
all the chairmen and their helpers
had attended to the duties which had
been assigned to them and that there
remained only the gathering in OF
few loose ends of details. A more
satisfactory report could not have
been expected, if the committeeman
had been high salaried men who had
been devoting their entire time to the
building of big exposition.
That the attendance is expected to
be large. even by the pessimistic ones
who have to look after the hnanclal
end of the fair, was indicated when
one of the finance committee declared
that he did not know where space lot
the exercises on the grounds would be
found to accommodate the crowd.
This remark was made after principal
McClusky had stated that there would
be 1000 children in the school parade
on Children's Day. "There are seve-
raj hundred other children who would
attend if there was some way to get
them here" he added
The Lahaina committeeman report
ed that the west end of the island
had so many pople who were going to
be present that it was Lahaina pro-
blem to find machines enough to con-
vey them here, even though all the
big trucks of the Pioneer Mill Planta-
ton Company are to be used.
Another optimistic expectation of
big attendance was shown when Su-
perintendent Walsh of the Kahului
railroad said the schedule had already
been prepared which would bring
trains into Wailuku almost every hour
during the fair. These trains will
run evenings up until midnight.
Regular fares have been cut in half
Tor the fair dates, and in some instanc-
es much lower.

Spirit Assures
Shows Success
Maui Citizens Take Hold OF
Plans With Live And Credit
able Enthusiasm.
BY RILEY n. ALLEN
Editor OF the Star-Bulletin.


Maui County's first annual fair, to
be held at Wailuku on November 30,
December / and 2, wilk be the great
est the territory has seen.
SO much advance plans and prom
ises indicate, and Maui does not fall
down on plans or fail to make good
on promises. The men and momen of
the Valley Isle have the habit of put
ting through to an unquestioned sue
cess whatever public undertaking they
are called upon to attempt.
The fair at Hilo, with which Ha-
waii County began what may be a
yearly series, was good beginning
Pioneering the way, venturing into
new territory, so to speak, the Hawaii
people arranged two-day event after
wards heightened to three days, and
more than $4,000 people passed
through the gates. The fair was a
financial success and success also
in it's showing of exhibits.
Maui is planning a fair larger event.
wider in scope, and with many of the
traditional county fair" features
which Hilo was unable to arrange.
Maui has had two additional months
|
to Hilo with the idea of looking at the
Hawaii County Fair and profting by
it's experiences.
Site is Big Asset
The site chosen by the committee
in charge is big asset in favor oil
the Maui event. The Wailuku base
hall field was aelected as the most
suitable spot. It provides abundant
room not only for the exhibits, COM
mercial and otherwise, but leaves
rlnnty of accommodation. for amuse-
merit features and facilities for caring
fol the crowds which are expected to
attend.
Certainly no county fair ever had
more magnificent scenic setting. In
this respect the Wailuku field rivals
the famous scenic polo fields of Moa-
nalua and Kapiolani park, on Oahu.
The field is flanked on one side by a
wide higway, giving easy access for
vehicles and foot traffic, and on the
others by canefields. These fields
strech away almost without Interrupt
tion to the mountains of Western
Maui, beyond the town of Wailuku,
and on the other side the rolling
slopes of Haleakala that finally merge
into the bulky crater-mountain that
lifts 10000 feet of looming hills into
the clouds.
Field Will Be Cool and Clean
The baseball field is being especial
ly grassed, given paths and arranged
for fair purposes. The crowds who
attend will not tramp through dusty
alleys and over dusty stretches of
ground, but over soft turf.
| A grandstand, a bandstand and
dancing pavilion and other construc-
tion features augment that space allot-
ed for exhibits.
One disadvantage found by Mana
ger f. B. Cameron is in the lack of

The arts of our grandmothers are
not dead. Visitors to Maui County's
First Fair may feast upon the rich
treasures of women's handiwork as
never before.
From the historical old town of La
haina will come some of the rarest
and choicest exhibits of needlework
seen in many day. Among the most
interesting is bedspread knitted by
a blind woman; christening robe en-
broidered' by man, and two old and
exquisitely embroidered collars loan
ed by a prominent resident.
OF special beauty and finer work

by another of our residents-the pat

card eight by ten inches.
Another valuable loan is patch

Maui Is Ready To
Welcome Guests

Great preparations are being made
by Maui citizens to entertain visitors
who come to their county fair Thanks
giving Day. Daniel H. Case, of Wal.
luku has made a special trips to Homo
lulu as ambassador plenipotentiary to
extend Maui's greetings to Oahu and
bid all welcome, reports the Adver-
tiser.
The particular business that bro
ught Mr.. Case to the metropolis was
to charter fleet of steamers, if
necessary. However, this will not be
necessary, because the Mauna Loa
Mauna Kea, Manoa and Kilauea are
all going to make trips in the usual
course of events, and those who have
preferences can take their choice.
For the accommodation of the re-
turning visitors, the Mauna Loa,
Mauna Kea and Manoa will land pas
and Sunday. The Mauna Loa is now
on the Claudine run.
AS to hotels, Wailuku can take care
of 250 visitors without asking anyone
to sleep in the bathtubs or on the bill
lizard tables, and as many more in pri-
vate homes. In fact, Mr.. Case said
Maui can take care of a big crowd
comfortably.
The Grand Hotel is complete as to
furniture and fixtures, although some
of the windows have not arrived, but
everybody sleeps with their windows
ajar in Wailuku and there are no mos
quitos, except an occasional specimen
brought on board the steamers from
Honolulu. Anyway, the Grand will be
ready for guests during fair week
The Governor will be there, and many
distinguished visitors.
The Maui Hotel has recently been
enlarged and completely renovated.
While these inns are Maui's best, there
are other hostelries besides. Maui in
tends to have "one big time" from
Thursday to Saturday A special
watch committee representing the
Maui chamber of commerce guarantees
that there will be no gouging of visit
ors by auto men, hack drivers, restau-
promoters and others during
fair week. Maui is opulent and can
afford to give all visitors a good time.

PartiSanS Exchange
Election Amenities
Bob BreckOns And DR.. Raymond
Enter Contest Of Polite Sarcasm
Over Senatorial Scrap

Election amenities are not all past
on Maui even thought Charles
Hughes has congratulated President
Wilson on his reelection, for the cam
paign bitterness of the Cooke-Ray-
mond senatorial fight is still manifest
here in the courtesies which are be-
ing interchanged by r. w. Breckons,
Republican national committeeman
for Hawaii, and DR.. J. H. Raymond,
the defeated Democratic candidate for
election as senator from Maui.
Breckons recently wrote to DR.. Ray
mond, in a "you may read it any
way you wish manner" congratulate
ing him on his defeat by Cooke. The
letter has aroused full memory of the
senatorial election and is being much
discussed as to whether its intent
was friendly or the reverse. The let
ter from Breckon, which started the
election amenities, was as follows:
i my dear Doctor
May l say to you that l am exceed
| ingly pleased that you were defeated
! in your aspirations for a seat in the
Senate. May couple this statement
with the further statement that the
pleasure does not come from any per
know full well, / am a Republican
first, last and always. You know also
that l would scrap with anybody who
sought to come to the legislature as
a Democrat. If we had to have a De-
mocrat in the Senate from Maui, l
would as soon see you there as any,
body.
81 have written to George Cooke
att.1n ttrr h i'm, mo-
l am glad he did it. | am writing you
to assure you that there was nothing,
as far as l was concerned, in the ma
ture of personal objection to you.
| Every sincerely yours.
"R. w. BRECKONS."
DR.. Raymond, not to be outdone in
the written exchange of courtesies, re-
piled to the letter of the Republican
national committee in tone which
equals or surpassess that of Breckons
| in studied politeness. The doctors
letter to Breckons is given below:
my dear Mr.. Breckons:
81 am in receipt of your letter Of
the 9Th instant, and in reply would
say that l accept it in the spirit in
which it was written.
MAY say to you,' my one regret is
that / am unable to congratulate Mr.
Cooke upon beating me, for the reason
/ that have sufficient knowledge of the
conduction of his campaign by the
manager, Mr.. Kalama, to convince me
that as political campaigns go, it was
most disgraceful, and has, l believe,
done more harm to the Territory of
Hawaii, than anything else that has
happened politically within the past
twenty years.
May l say further, that the result
Of the presidential election in return
ing President Wilson to that exalted
office, is a great consolation to me in
this hour of defeat to which you refer;
and l am truly thankful to Our Good
Lord, for having, in His infinite wis
dom, relegated your standard-bearer,
Mr.. Hughes, and his various satellites,
not excepting those in Hawaii, to the
political dumping-ground, where they
will remain for four long years in a
state of innocuous desuetude."
