Big Row May Come
Over County Policy
Makawao WaterwOrkS Again In Storm
Center-COunty Engineer May Re-
sign Or Get Fired.

Beneath the more or less placid sur
face of routine business of the board
of supervisors this week. there is
every indication that things are siz-
zling, and that an eruption of some
sort is due before the pressure can
be relieved.
When the expected eruption is over
the county may or may not have a
county engineer.
1t may or may not have adopted
a progressive policy with regard to
the management of the Makawao
waterworks. George Copp may or may
not have been appointed to the posi-
ton of superintendent of the Maka-
wac waterworks system.
1t is understood that County En-
gineer Cox has made it clear that he
will not hold his position unless his
duties and responsibilities are defin-
itely defined, but thus far in the ses-
sion none of these matters have more
than been touched upon. There is a
a possibility that a compromise will
be arrived at, whereby the county
engineer will be given authority over
the waterworks systems of the
county, but will be considered merely
as consulting engineer" in road
work, with no responsibility as to how
such work is executed.
1t has been currently reported for
several weeks that George Copp, was
to resign his position as district over
seer, and accept the place of super
intendent of the Makawao water
works. Copp has been present at the
board meeting during the past two
days, but he has not yet resigned the
job he now holds, nor has he been ap
ppointed to the waterworks job. If
Copp takes the new position it is un-
derstood that it will be upon the as
surance that real steps be taken to
rehabilitate the run down system, to-
wards which end the supervisors are
asked to appropriate $4,000 for use
in the next six months.
Working On Appropriations
The board was in session until
midnight last night on discussions o.
| matters of more or less Importance
among which was that of the Maka
wac pipeline, and it seemed practical
| ly decided at adjounmen that ,his
work. as recommended by the com
mittee of investigation, some time
ago, be undertaken. This Afternoon
| it is expected that the semi-annua
appropriation ordinance will be under
| consideration. and this may not bt
| completed until tomorrow. 1t will pro
| badly not be until tomorrow that thC
several matters OF vital importance il
mentioned, will have been settled.

Kawahara, Japanese
Convict, Is In Wailuku

In order that he might appear in
the case which he has brought against
his sister-in-law, Sada Kuwahara, for
the possession of certain property
claimed by him in Wailuku Rinsa-
bura Kuwahara, Japanese murderer
who is serving a sentence of 35 years
in the Oahu Prison, was brought to
Wailuku on Wednesday evening, in
custody of Deputy Warden Nielsen,
and is now in the County jail, Kuwa-
hara, who was tinsmith in Wailuku,
stabbed his brother to death some Z
years ago in a dispute over the same
property for which he is now bring
ing suit in the circuit court.
His return has been the occasion
of a considerable demonstration on
the part of the local Japanese among
whom the convict numbers many
friends, and the Jail has been besieg
ed by many visitors ever since his ar
rival. He is represented in the case
by E. r. Bevins, as his attorney.

Sanitarium School
Plan Is Approved
Supervisors Will Ask Sanction Of
School Department = Board Also
Approves Plans OF Management.

The Kula Sanitarium is to have
school of its own, provided the de
partment of public instruction will
sanction it. The matter was passed
upon by the board of supervisors, this
morning, and approved. DR.. Durney
superintendent of the institution, Sen
ator II. A. Baldwin and DR.. w. f. Nc
Conkey, representing the managing
committee Of the sanitarium, were
present at this morning session and
brought this and other matters to the
attention of the board At the present
time there are 8 children in the sani-
tarium that should have school faci-
lities, and the committee reported
that twenty or more pretubercular
children in the district, now in the re-
gular public schools, should be taken
into the new school provided it is esta-
blished.
The supervisors also approved the
recommendation that a business and
outside superintendent be appointed
as assistant to DR.. Durney, who, with
the growth of the institution is unable
to devote sufficient time to the mul.
titudinous duties h els now called UP
on to perform. The appointment will
be made later.
Managing Committee To Be Enlarged
In order that the work of combat
ting tuberculosis may be made more
effective, through keeping the people
of Maui in closer touch with what is
being done. it was also decided to in
crease the managing committee of the
sanitarium from to 8 members. Two
of the four new members are to be
ladies. The naming of these addition.
al members will probably be made
this afternoon or tomorrow.

Seaman of MelrOSe
Drowned at Kahuluii

John Gregerson, a sailor aboard the
lumber schooner Melrose, was drown
ed in Kahului harbor shortly before 7
o'clock last evening, Up to time OF
going to press this afternoon the
body had not been recovered. The man
had been drinking during the day, and
as he was walking near the side of the
vessel, on the deck load of lumber,
he either staggered over the side or
tripped, and fell into the water.
Other members of the crew witnes-
sed tn accident, and a rope was tos-
sed to him, but although he rose to
the surface once, he sank again inn
mediately and was seen no more. 1t
is said that the drowned man was a
poor swimmer, and almost drowned a
year or two ago in Honolulu harbor
when he accidentally fell overheard.
He was a Swede, and his age was Al
years.

Big Storm Claims One
Victim at Hama

Caught by the heavy sea breaking
at the foot of the main street in
Hama, at an early hour last Sunday
morning, ID. X. Uaiwa, a blacksmith
CT Hama, was swept out into the bay
and drowned. His dead body was
found on the beach at the far side of
the harbor on Sunday afternoon.
Considerable mystery surrounded
the drowning, and at first there was
a suspicion of foul play, from the fact
that Uaiwa had been drinking with a
crowd of acquaintances on Saturday
evening at house out on the point
at the west side of the harbor, and it
was known that the party had been
boisterous one. Sheriff Crowell went
over to Hama on Tuesday to look into
the matter, and satisfied himself that
the man, in attempting to pass around
the warehouse at the foot of the street
had fallen into the heavy surf which
was running at the time, and been
swept to his death. This was the YER
dict of the coroner's jury which sat
on the case
The deceased was 80 years of age
and leaves a wife and seven children

Vincent Sued For
$4,000 Damages
japanese Cited For COntempt-New
Phases in Now Celebrated Zip Ian
Case-End Nowhere In Sight.

AS an outgrowth of the celebrated
Zip Ian case suit was instituted
in the Second circuit court yesterday
by Toyosaki Kiyamoto against Enos
Vincent for $4,000 damages. The
complaint alleges that Vincent, who
was attorney for the Zip Ian con-
tingent in the Kula leasehold contro-
versy, unlawfully tried to take pos
session of the property by force, with
the aid of nine Chinese, and that he
broke down the door to the house in
which the petitioner was living, and
caused him to be roughly handled
The incident in question was the
attempt of the Zip Ian contestants
to take possession of the property.
following a decree of the court in
the matter. Another phase of the
same controversy was the citing for
contempt of Toyosaki Kiyamoto, ii
being charged that he had harvested
some of the crops upon the land in
question, contrary to the courts in
junction A motion of Kiyamoto's at
torney, Eugene Murphy to quash,
was denied by Judge Edings yester.
day. and the case has been continued
till next Wednesday. Following the
injunction granted by Judge Edings
Pia Cockett was appointed administra
tor of the property, with instructions
to care for such crops as might need
attention. Kiyamoto is charged with
having harvested some of these with
out Cockett's knowledge.

Loan Fund Board Calls
For Kuiaha Tenders

At a meeting of the Maui loan fund
commissioners, held last Friday
night, the contract for the labor and
construction of the kitchen and din
ing room building and the ice plant
and cold storage room structure at
the Kula Sanitarium, was let to Hugh
Howell and Paul F, Lada, at their bid
of S21S5. Time 60 days. The tenders
for this work was very close, j, C.
Foss, Jr., biddings $4,000, or but $15
more than the successful bidders,
while j. A. Aheong offered to do the
job for $4,000.
The board also called for tenders
for the macadamizing of the home
stead road through the Kuiaha home
steads, for which $4,000 was appro-
priated, and these tenders are to be
opened at 1880 p. m, January 2S.
Work has already been started by
Howell and Lada on their contract
for constructing the Kihei home
stead road, which was awarded them
several weeks ago Fortunately they
had not made much progress on the
work, or the storm of last Saturday
and Sunday would probably have un-
done most of it.

Noted Sportsman Likes
Maui Game Fishing

F. X. Burnham, prominent sports
man of Martinez, California who ar
rived on Maui on Wednesday evening,
to try the game fishing of Maui
waters, got his first strike yesterday
morning, off Molokini, where he spent
several hours with H. Gooding Field.
Although a heavy rain storm fright
ened the Japanese sampan man into
insisting on running for shelter, with
in two hours after the fishing grounds
were reached Mr.. Burnham was amply
satisfied that Maui fishing had not
been overrated. AS a result of the
short trip he and Mr.. Field brought
home two 4-foot dolphin and a 6-foot
ono. and a number of smaller fish, to-
taling about so pounds in all, besides
the head of a big aki. This was all
that the anglers were able to save
from the greedy jaws of big shark
which followed the hooked fish right
up to the gunwale of the boat.
Mr.. Burnham is accompanied by his
wife, and is stopping at the Maui Ho
| tel. Both he and Mrs. Burnham have
enviable regulations as big game
| hunters. They have hunted and fished
practically all over North America
and but recently spent some weeks in
one of the most remote sections OF
the Canadian Rockies hunting grizzly
bear Mr.. Burnham is also the owner
of the famous series of Dixie" motor
speed boats, which made such mar
velous records a few years ago He
is particularly interested in game fish
ing, however, and is out again today
to try his luck. 1t is his expressed
intention to send for his big $11,00C
Italian motor car which he left in Ho
nolulu, and to spend some time OF

Polo Season Soon To
Open On New Field

Maui polo games this season will
doubtless be played all on the new
Kailua field, near Keahua, instead of
at Sunnyside, as in the past. Practice
will probably commence on the new
grounds within a few weeks. The
new ground has been plowed, levelled,
and rolled, and now has a fine mamie
ME turf. Two attendants cottages
have been constructed, and a stable
with accommodations for 40 horses is
about completed. This last named
structures has a big over-hang of roof
all around it, beneath which it will
be possible to walk the ponies when
they come in from play.
At the present time there are a
dozen or more horses at the-ground,
in charge of j. A. Tiernan, an expert
horseman.

In Leap
Year
Blu GEORGE COBB

Copyright. 1916, by w. q. Chapman.)
There were two predominating fea-
lures, dread and timidity, in the
thoughts and actions of Ralph Burton
as the leap year came in and he was
made the target of organized menace
and raillery on the part of those who
fancied they could play upon his
weaknesses.
You're a selected victim, Burton!"
declared more than one of the little
town club of which he was a member.
"Oh, he'll never escape through the
MONTH" insisted others. You'd bet
ter keep away from the trap of So
cial functions
Il rarely favor them" observed Bur-
ton gravely..
And have bodyguard," was the
further advice 81 understand that
the girls clubs laid out a regular
program, with dates and victims Not
an unmarried man in the town will
escape
Eyes, and a well-fxed Individual
like Burton will be the especial OBJ
Ject of persecution
Ralph Burton smiled, but it was not
a natural smile. Nature had awarded
him shrinking, self-deprecating ele-
ment, and he had never battled it. At
twenty-eight he found himself a re-
served young bachelor with an Unborn
veneration for all womankind, yet
bashful and retiring. If he had ever
loved, he had never been able to
summon UP the courage to confess
the fact to the object of his adora-
ton.
"a confirmed woman hater," was
the snappy ultimatum of more than

THE ORIGIN OF SURNAMES
Originally From the Occupations
of the Holders.

Once upon a time given names
were the only names in use. One was
Tom, Dick or Harry, and that was
all there was about it.. Our present
surnames arose from the nicknames
Thus Tom the Taylor became in time
Tom Taylor, and his descendants
used Taylor as the family name. The
most familiar of our surnames were
taken from the occupations of our
forefathers, as Smiths, Bakers. Brew
ers, etc. Many men, moving to new
towns, had the name of the place
from which they had come fastened
upon them. Others took names like
Pope, King and Bishop, from playing
those parts in plays. Hogg and Ba-
con are simple Purcell developed
from pourcel, meaning little pig. Gait
and Grice are old dialect words Of
the same meaning. Tod meant fox,
Fitchie was polecat, and so the keen
student of language traces the begin
nings of our names in the old dialects.
Some of the nicknames were original
ly distinctly uncomplimentary, az See
ly for silly, Cameron for crooked nose
and Kennedy for ugly head. Grace
developed from gras or fat.-Ameri-
can Boy.
