and County Attorney e. r. Bevins, will
leave for Honolulu tonight to report

for two weeks, during which time
every district in the county has been
visited, registration places selected,
and registrars appointed, instructed in

thing is practically in readiness, ac-
cordng to the board for getting the
official line on all young men between

the registrars on the cattle island,
had gone to Lahaina to meet the
board, while the board had gone by
sampan to Lanai. The two parties
met, however in mid-channel on their
return, and the instructions were
given, and the oaths administered
while the boats bobbed side by side
on the waves far from shore.

Distressing Accident At Paia When
Little Kulamanu Robinson Finds
Loaded Weapon In Wash House
BuIIetThrOugh JapenSe Baby'sHead

A 22-caliber target rifle in the hands
of 7-yeaI-old Kulamanu Robinson, of
Paia, brought instant death to Kioko
Takista, Japanese baby aged years,
on Tuesday morning of this week. The
Robinson child is the granddaughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Robinson, of
Paia. The Japanese baby was the son
of Mrs. Akio Takista, a washwoman
employed at the Robinson home.
The accident, which is a peculiarly
distressing one, occurred between 10
and IL o'clock on Tuesday morning
while the children were at play. The
Japanese mother was busy with her
work at the time. The Robinson child
in exploring a big grain box in the
wash house found the rifle which her
grandfather had been using few days
before for shooting minah birds and
had hidden away without removing
the cartridges. In play she pointed
the weapon at the baby and pulled the
trigger. The bullet entered the back
of the infants skull emerging from
the forehead, death being instantane-

No money was in the bank outside

Will Be Improved
Present Scarcity Of Water To Soon
Be Relieved By Putting In Another
Maui From ReServOir-Intake Line
Working Well

BY a decision of the board of super
visors on Monday Wailuku is to have
relief shortly from the near water
famine which has prevailed for some
weeks during which the weather has
been particularly dry. A supplement
tai 4-inch main is to be laid from the
reservoir to the corner of Main and
High streets, with lateral lines each
way on High street, which will supply
all the upper part of Wailuku and
thus relieve the present 6-inch main
which at present supplies all Wailuku
as well as the tanks on the sand hills
supplying Kahului. The new line
will be put in as soon as the materials
can be secured.
Since the completion of the new in
take basin and supply line above the
reservoir, by the loan fund committee,
the town reservoir has been well sup
piled at all times, but the main lead
ing from the reservoir has become OF
insufficient capacity, particularly
when much water is being used for
irrigating lawns as at present.
VII Stop Leakage Also
The county engineer will also soon
get to work locating "A large number
of leaks in the water mains which are
said to be responsible for undue drain
on the system.
