Mrs. Laura Knight Has Spinal yerta- hrae Rrokcn-Woman's Club Plans for Entertainment Tomorrow Night Anthony Newton Dead.

Providing the weather moderates sufficiently during the next two weeks to permit of the laying of a cement flooring, the ROCkWell-Drake com pany hopes to have it's Plainville plant in operation by April 1 and it's officers are now making arrangements to ship machinery from it's Hartford factory. The building, which has been in course of construction for several weeks, is now nearing completion and apparently there will be nothing to prevent the" installation of machinery hN the end of the month.
 Handicapped by the severe weather the company has been delayed in the work here It was originally intend
 ed to begin installing the machinery by March s, the actual manufa ct1lr- ing to commence about a month later At the outset the company was trou- bled by the scarcity of labor and fancy prices had to be offered even for men to assist in eXcavating for the cellar. The weather also seriously affect cd the work. Nevertheless the build ing will be completed within a few weeks and operations begun. For months the company has been at
 work on new machines in it's Hartford
 
 factory here is ready for occupancy
 they will be shipped here and the work on the equipment required will be started.
 The officials have made no an nounccment as to how large a force will be employed when the factory is opened. It is expected, however, that by summer there will be at least fifty men in the plant For the most part they will be skilled mechanics, the company requiring but few or dinary laborers until the actual manu- featuring of ball bearings, which is to be the company's chief product, Is
 started.
 The plant in Hartford will be I operated as a branch, for time at least according to one of the or fcials. although it is likely that the entire business will eventually be To- catcd here.

Dance And Swim
Meet Promising

Much interest is being displayed in
the swimming meet and dance which
is to be held at the Alexander House
Settlement tomorrow evening. The
boys who are to take part in the swim
ming contests have been practising
every day during the past week and
are showing fine quality. "They will
be hard to beat" their hackers decl-
are.
The girls also have an exceptional
fine team, and if Paia is to win either
by match it must have some very fast
swimmers. Observations of experts
point to the decision that there will be
a very close match.
The events for boys are as follows:
1OO-foot sprint; 50-foot sprint; 50-foot
back stroke; 100-foot relay; three
dives, swan, back and choice. The
girls events will be the same, except
that there will be no relay race.
After the swimming matches there
will be dancing until midnight.

About His Plans

Talbot Hanana, millionaire of Castle.
wood, Newport, and New York, wants
to assist Molokai Settlement. He in
tends to give great social function
and bazaar in New York this fall or
winter, for the benefit of the hospital.
This information was contained in a
letter from Hanan to A. P. Taylor, sec.
retary of the promotion committe.
Taylor had written suggesting that
Hanan, who passed through Honolulu
three years ago, when the liner Cleve-
land came this way with large party
of round-the-world tourists, revisit the
Islands and see for himself the
changes in the city since he was here.
In his reply Hanan said that he
feared it will be impossible for him to
come here soon, but that he wished
to be able to do something for the Ter
ritory, and asked for information re.
garding the needs of the Molokai Set
tlement
''If it is self-supporting," he says,
1--WE can send it instruments, band
ages and the like. Or it is possible
that other things are needed. Let me
know and we will do what we can to
help"
Taylor will send copies of the letter
to Brother Dutton, at Kalawao, and
DR.. ]. S. B. Pratt, head of the board
of health, and they will be asked for
suggestions which will be forwarded
to Hanan.

vestigation of the books of that
Office. After his investigation
he ordered the office closed and
transferred the postoffice to Ha-
iku. He took part of the of
flee books to Honolulu for
further investigation and evid-
ence before the grand jary. The
balance of the books, with the

Fair To Use
Nearby Houses
All Market Street Buildings At Ap-

For Valuable County Show Exbi-
bits By Committeeman

Every building on Market street
near the approach to the Wailuku base
ball grounds, including the gymn
and main structure of the Alexander
House settlement, the Chinese church
and the store house of the Howell
Engineering Company, may be used
for the more valuable exhibits of the
First Maui County Fair.
This decision was reached at the
meeting of the chairmen of the various
committees held last Monday after
noon in the town hall, when complaint
was made that it was being found hard
to secure the exceptionally fine ex-
hibits desired because the owners
were 10th to place their goods in tents.
That the use of the buildings in con-
junction with the county fair "tented
city," may be secured only depends
upon securing the consent of the man.

ment. Others owning buildings on the
end of Market street have already
consented to give their buildings for
public use. The Alexander Settle
ment people are now considering the
matter and some of the directors of
the institution are reported as favor
ing the granting of the request of the
fair committeeman.
After the buildings are secured. the
extension to Market street, leading
from mauka to the base ball grounds,
will also be enclosed and likely used
as the location for the VARIOUS "fun

Enthusiasm in the fair seems to be
mounting, instead of waning, with the
extra amount of work on the commit
tees which daily becomes more evid-
ent. There has not been day this
week when there has not been meet
ing of one or more of the committees
in Wailuku.
Acting on suggestion made at the
general committee meeting of the fair
last Monday, an executive committee
of the executive committee of the

members. The officers and two others
constitute this committee. This COM
mittee will meet the other committee
men daily until the fair is over. Five
meetings in all have so far been held
this week.
At the general committee meeting,
the resignation of F. A. Cloves as
chairman of the committe on prize
awards was accepted and L. r. Math-
ews named TO succeed him. The school
duties of Mr.. Cloves prevented him
from devoting as much time az nee

rangements TO go over Monday and
Tuesday by sampan.
The first ones left the settlement
content with their laborers. Then the
Mikahala made its mid-week visit,
and there were less less than four of
| the candidates who had stuck to their
original intention. Those who did
not goin the week or during the middle
of the week made their visit yester-
day or today.
All the candidates think they have
gained on advantage over their opp-
onents. They believe they had adtheadvan-
tage of making first, second or last
impression on the inmates. But the
ordinary voters just laughs, for he
knows that the beliefs of most of the
candidates are just the "father of
their wishes" AS to the lepers, no
one knows how they will vote today.
The only thing certain is that they
have enjoyed nothing so much as they
did the campaign speeches, since the
first moving picture was exhibited in
Kalaupapa.
Predictions as to the outcome of
the contest among the Republican
candidates for nomination as repre-
sentatives, the only contests outside
of the delegate race, are varied and
according to the hopes of the man
speaking.
Manuel Paschoal of Puunene is said
to be certain of election and J. J.

Schooner Muriel
Wrecked In Calm
Hind-Rolph Vessel Goes On Rocks Al
Napili But Is Saved By
Cruiser st Louis

Drifting upon the rocks in a
calm while the skipper and crew
were powerless to do anything
to keep the vessel afloat the sch
ooner Muriel went ashore yester-
day afternoon at o'clock at
Napili, about four miles from Ka-
naapali. The schooner was in
near shore when the wind died
down and left the vessel to be
washed ashore by the big COM
bers.
A wireless call was immediate
ly sent out for assistance to the
United States ships which are
at Lahaina and the crusier st.
Louis responded 70 the S. o. s.
The st. Louis reached the Muriel
too late to be of any assistance
last night, but stood by until
morning in order to save the
crew with life boats if any lives
should be endangered by sud
den storm. In the morning the
schooner was pulled from the
rocks and towed to Kaanapali by
the lighthouse tender.
The last reports from Kaa-
napali states that the damage to
the ship was slight and that it
is making only about two inches
of water an hour as the result
of its berth on the rocks for
fourteen hours.
One report, unverified, is that
the schooner crew got the vessel
off the rocks without the assis-
tance of the st. Louis or the
lighthouse tender.
The Muriel was loaded with
cargo of lumber from Puget
Sound for the Pioneer Mill Com
pany. The vessel is owned by
the Hind-Rolph Company.

FAILURE OF LIGHT is DUE
TO UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT

According to ]. c. Blair, the super
intendent of the Inter-Island Electric
Company, the going out of the lights
all ever Wailuku last night was due
to an unavoidable accident. He says
that valve spring broke and KILLED"
the plant, until an auxiliary unit could
be started up. The resumption of the
service was made in fifteen minutes,
which he considers very fast work on
the part of his employees" Accidents
happen on steamships and railroads,
in spite of all the modern improve
ments. That was our misfortune last

Wounded Man
Tells OF War
Brother Of Frank Peacock Writes In
tereSting Letter OF Operations In
France, But Say Little About How
He Received GunShOt

| Breathing confidence Of an eventual
British victory in almost every line,
Jack Peacock, who was wounded in
France, has written a letter to his
brother, Frank Peacock of Puunene,
from hospital in England where he is
convalescing
| While the letter is fixed with praise
of the bravery of others, and although
1t is long intimate one of the nature
which one brother might be expected
to write another, it is singularly lack
ing in details as to how the brother
OF the Puunene man got his wound.
The only reference to the wound is the
statement that he is in a hospital, and
then these unboastful words:
Il was wounded in the attack on
Qozieres in the shoulder, but am glad
| it's nothing serious" In the several
hundred words of the letter that is the
only statement made regarding the
wound received by young Peacock
Continuing he says: "Our boys did
some good work there, but our losses
were heavy, still nothing to what Fritz
lost.
81 never saw such bombardments
since have been on active
service. Fricourt, La Boisette
and all all those towns are
nothing but big heaps of dirt, with
hardly anything standing. So fierce
was the fire of the British artillery,
the earth fairly rocked from the con-
cussions. We are getting the upper
hand now, and we our gradually push
ing him (Fritz) back, but this is only
the start and nothing to what he is 60
ing to get.
Germans gave themselves up when
we adanced, some of them almost in
sane, they say. Our artillery fire is so
terrible that it simply batters down
the opposition. | can assure you that
it is sight one won't forget in hur-
ry. The Germans received orders to
retake Qozieres at all costs and they
attacked, wave after wave of them,
but our curtain fire moved them down
and their attacks withered away. l
am satisfied that man to man the Ger
man is not so good as the soldiers Of
the British Empire and it was only
their overwhelming superiority at the
start in guns and men that allowed
them to advance at all.
eve have the men, guns and the
money now; also the absolute mas
terry of the air. l saw sixty-three of
our battle-planes go on bombing raid.
1t was sight well worth seeing. The
prettiest sight / saw at Messines was
when our planes brought downright Ger
man ballons in flames. Our airmen
are about the gamest men on earth"
Peacock closes his letter with the
statement that he is to have a chance
to visit his home the following day.
He expresses the hope that he will be
able to pass by the Hawaiian Islands
ors his way to Australia after the war
is over.
Although Peacock's letter had been
examined by the censor, the only word
in which it appeared there had been
an effort to delete was the name of a
hospital in France, to which he was
sent just after being wounded. Names
of towns in France around which he
had been fighting and also of different
localities in England were untouched.
