Filipino Burglar
Makes Confession
Captured In Honolulu He Tells How
He Came To Rob HamakuapOko
Post 0fice-StOle $50 Had Spent
ALI But Sc

Police Officer Pedro Bautista re-
turned on Tuesday mornings Clau-
dine from Honolulu where he went
last Friday night in search of Francis
co Dias, the Filipino suspected Of the
robbery of the Hamakuapoko post
Office and railroad station. He brought
his man, who has since made a clean
breast of the matter.
AS stated in the Maui News last
week, suspicion fastened on Dias
when it was learned that he had been
spending money lavishly and that he
had had an undue amount of small
change with which to pay for his pur-
chases. Owing to the fact that the
wireless was not working there was
no means of having him caught on the
arrival of the boat on which he left
Maui. Policeman Bautista picked his
man up on Hotel street last Saturday
night and had him locked up.
Dias, who served a sentence once
before for larceny, told Sheriff Gro
well that he had lain on bench out
side the Hamakuapoko station pre-
tending to be asleep, but in reality
satisfying himself that Station Agent
II. w. Baldwin put the pile OF change
in a drawer and not in the safe. After
learning this, he hid in a cane field
until night, when he broke into the
office and cut open the drawer with
his knife. OF the $50 odd which he
got away with, he had obout Sc on his
person when arrested. The rest OF
had gone for sporty clothes and joy
rides.

Kahului Community
House A Big Asset
New Institution Is Already An Indes-
penSible Adjunct - Houses Many
Activities And Is Now Recognized
Center Of Social Life

The Kahului Community house is
a busy place these days. Since the
opening of the building for athletics
more than two months ago it has been
in use almost continuously during the
day and evening. The work has been
organized so that now there are nine
clubs using the building on regular
schedule. Three boys clubs grouped
according to age and size use the
building in the afternoons. The senior
boys club, part of whom are working
during the day, have one evening as
signed to them. The girls club have
one afternoon and one evening period.
This group, which is composed most
ly of Hawaiian girls, is doing splendid
work under the direction of Miss Han
nah. One period a week is devoted
to physical exercise with the wands
and other equipment.
The ladies gymnasium class meets
regularly on Wednesday at three
o'clock. For this class, instruction
has been provided through the exten-
sion work of the Alexander House

Campaign Now On
For Fair Members
And For Other Kind AlSO-DirectOr
Meeting This Afternoon Will Hear
Report On Marketing County
Agent Idea Again Holds Interest

The board of directors Of the Maui
county fair and racing association is
meeting this afternoon in the Wailu-
ku Town Hall. Among other matters
to come up will be report of Harold
Rice as a committee of one on farm
crops and marketing Mr. Rice has
gone into the matter carefully and
will report that Maui merchants are
now willing to cooperate very fully
with the farmers in the matter of
handling their products right here at
home. He has spent considerable
time in studying the subject and in in
terviewing both farmers and dealers.
Hot After Members
President Frank Baldwin Is apply
ing the spur to the directors and others
who have been furnished with men,
bership blanks, to get them busy. The
fact that the initiation fee of $40 for
men and $5 per women is practically
the only cost for life membership in
the association he believes should re-
suit in between 500 and 1000 members
being secured in the county without
great difficulty.
Dues But 81 Per Year
Dues in the association are but a
dollar per year, so no one who has the
interests of Maui at heart can have a
valid excuse for not joining and help
ing to boost.
The membership blank books which
have been sent out contain a receipt
to be given to the applicant, form
of application to be turned in to the
board of directors, and a memoranda
um stub for the use of the solicitor.

Suspended Wireless
Service Is Resumed
Three New Operators Begin Work
This Observation-Disclosures Prob
ably Out OF Service-PreSs Ser
vice May Start Again Tomorrow

After being suspended since April
6, commercial wireless service was re-
sumed with Maui at z o'clock this
morning under control of the U. S.
navy.
Three enlisted operators arrived at
the Lahaina station from the coast
yesterday. They are-C. f. King, e.
T. Maher, and Mccartney. They vii
be on duty alternately for hour
shifts. the full "a hours per day being
covered The office will be open for
commercial business between a. M
and 5 p. m.
Press Service Soon
The new operators are getting fam
iliar with their duties as fast as pos
sible. Their instructions are to ac-
cept no messages except for cash or
on guaranty of bank.
1t is expected that the MAUI
NEWS press service will be resumed
tomorrow, or next Monday, at which
time the DAILY Wireless" will again
be published. It is not certain that
this service can be maintained for
the reason that the cost of the service
is to be raised about so percent. In
asmuch as the Maui Publishing Com
pany had been suffering a net loss OF
between $25 and $50 per month on the
wireless prior to the taking over OF
the service by the navy, it is obviously
impossible that it can assume this
new burden. The business community
will be given an opportunity to sup
port the Daily Wireless through ad-
vertising contracts or otherwise. 1t
cost on an average of $2O9.S5 per
month to publish the Wireless before
the suspension. 1t will now cost
about $3.50. If provision can be made
for meeting this cost the service will
continue. If not, the Maui Publishing
Company will have no recourse but
TO suspend the publication.
MuIIeitner To Honolulu
Chas. Mulleitner, one of the Oldest
wireless operators in the business,
having been in the service of the Mu-
tual company for 10 years, but who is
let out owing to his Austrian birth,
expects to leave with his family for
Honolulu on Monday. He has num-
ber of things in view, he says, al
though it is possible he may be per
mitted to enlist in the navy for duty at
Pearl Harbor.

THE FOOD PROBLEM IN HAWAII
BY Mrs. A. C. Bowdish and Miss Mast

The theatened food famine in the
world comes as a challenge to every
man, woman and child in America
In a peculiar sense is it challenge
to the people of Hawaii. In this tropi-
cal climate there is chance to raise
an abundance of vegetable foods at
all times of the year; there is such a
variety Of fruits and vegetables that
it is easy to arrange balanced ration
By cutting out all waste and by sub
stituting Island products for accustom-
ed foods from the mainland tons of
food can be released for the Ill nouri-
shed nations of Europe.
Much Food Wasted
1t Is estimated that 100000, 900,
worth of food is wasted each year in
the kitchens of the U. s., there is lit
tie doubt but that Hawaii has done
her share. This waste comes thro
allowing food to spoil before 1t is
cooked, spelling it in preparation,
serving in larger portions than can be

Mystery Ship Is
Cause Raider Scare
Strange Vessel Off Maui Coast Seen
By Many But Is Not Identified
Submarine Investigates May Be
Japanese Collier

Much speculation has been occasion
ed during the past week by the pre-
sence off the Maui coast of mysterl-
GUS two-funnel steamer. The strang-
er has been reported from several
sources so there seems little doubt
that she was not somebody's pipe
dream. But what she is or what her
business is in these waters is still
mystery as far as Maui is concerned.
The ship was first reported off west
Maui on last Friday and was watched
from the cliffs by Capt. Parker, Kahu-
lui pilot, and others who were unable
to come to any conclusions concern
ing her.
The Matson steamer Lurline, in Ka-
hului harbor at the time, on her way
to Hilo, took no chances on being cap
tured or sunk by German raider,
and waited until after nightfall before
sailing, and then did so with all lights
doused.
Submarine investigates
The stranger had been reported in
Honolulu by an Inter-Island vessel,
and this possibly resulted in the pre-
sence of one of the "K" submarines
from Pearl Harbor being off shore on
On Wednesday, Capt. Harbold, U. S,
A. and a contingent of national
guardsmen armed with service rifles,
made a cruise by sampan out beyond
Kahoolawe on reconnoitering eXpedi-
ton. They did not succeed in rails
ing the hypothetical raider. Another
sampan party which tried to approach
the vessel caused it to steam up and
disappear over the horizon, according
to one report.
May Be Jap Collier
The fact that the Japanese cruiser
Azuma, bearing the body of the late
u. S. ambassador to Japan, G. w
Guthrie, who died at his post recently
has been in Honolulu for some days
has led to the suggestion that the
vessel may be a Japanese collier
which is accompanying the war craft
The fact that Japanese war vessels
have used these waters previously as
coaling grounds lends some color to
this suppositiOn.

DR.. Raymond After
Gov.Pinkham'S Job?

Claimed To Be Receptive Candidates

= DR.. j. II. Raymond of Maui, once
the warm personal friend of Governor
Lucius e. Pinkham, now his bitterest
enemy, is out in the open as possibil-
ity to succeed Pinkham.
Raymond is making, and says that
he intends to make, no active cam
paign for the positions, but he declar-
ed unequivocally yesterday that he
:would not refuse it If it were offered
to him"
"a large number of my friends, T"
the doctor is quoted by the Advertiser,
have been urging me to become a
candidate for the governorship. Sever
al of the most influential men in the
Territory have offered to write per
sonal letters in my behalf to members
of the United States senate.
~ do not think il is compatible
with the dignity of the office for any
man to run after it, but 1 certainly
would not refuse it if the President
should see fit to appoint me. And If

least have a strong, positive policy,
not a negative policy such as has char
acterized the administration of Cover
nor Pinkham."
The breach between Raymond and
Pinkham, which occurred several
months ago on account of what Ray
mond declared was a deliberate in
suit rendered him by the Governor,
has not been healed. Rather, it has
broadened and Raymond is now as
bitter an enemy of Pinkham as he was
once a warm friend.

Most Contestants
Have Now Reported
Complete List Next Week-Planters
Association Also Encouraging
Garden Planting Supply Seed
And Will Buy Crop

Children are not to have a monopo-
ly of garden making on Maui. This
was made clear this week with the ar
rival from Honolulu of DR.. H. L. Lyon,
pathologist of the planters expert
met station. The sugar planters have
formally acknowledged their respon-
sibility for helping out in the matter
of general food supply and the organi-
zation of their part in this work has
been left to the experiment station
staff. The plantations will all devote
more or less of their lands to the
growing of standard marketable crops,
such as sweet potatoes and beans of
various kinds.
But besides this, DR.. Lyon states
that the plantations will encourage
the laborers on the plantations to
plant gardens for their own use about
their houses. They will furnish free
seed for this purpose, and will under
take to purchase their surplus pro-
duce of such things as beans and pota-
toes.
Will Look After Marketing
In fact DR.. Lyon states that the
planters organization purposes see
ing the undertaking through to a
finish, including the disposition OF
produce raised. "If more is produced
than can be consumed here in the
Islands," he stated to the MAUI
NEWS, arrangements will be made
for shipping the surplus to the main
land and for selling 1t there. We
plan to guaranty the growers a fair
market price for all they can raise.
OF course we can scarcely undertake
to handle fresh vegetables, but we are
advocating the planting of sweet pota-
toes and beans, and we shall be ready
to handle all of these that may be
offered"
Much Seed For Children
Director of Childrens' Gardens. l..
w Mathews, states that most of the
week has been taken up by a bunch
of boy scouts in putting seed up In
packets for distribution, and in send
ing out this supply to various parts
of the Island. Forty sets were sent

eaten, failing to use "left-overs", and
in various other ways. To take just
one item, it is estimated that each
man woman and child wastes an aver
age of two and one half loaves of
bread each year. This seems like a
small thing but in the whole nation
it amounts to $125,000,000, in one
year.
The fact that the U. S. has been
drawn into the greatest war that the
world has ever known inspires every
one to heroic effort. Many house
wife will find her greatest chance for
patriotic service in accepting this
challenge; feed your family so that
each ounce of food is used to the best
advantage; see that nothing is wasted;
plan so that all surplus is put to the
best use. This will require time and
thought and much study but each wo-
man wants to be doing her bit"

there are five food principles; namely

WHY CAMPAIGN SHED
 HAS NOT BEEN USED
Too Much "Rcd Tape" Causes Lawyer to Give Up Unique Adver-
 tising Campaign.

Work of dismantling the small building at the southern end of Gen. tral park erected last week for use in the !. M. C. AK of C. campaign began this afternoon. The lumber has been returned to the dealer and a liberal allowance has been made, so tHat the net cost of the structure was put little to the campaigners.
 From the very first, the hut has caused great deal of trouble. Ori- Slnally it was built to aid in the cam palgn and, following similar. customs Ill New Haven and elsewhere, Lawyer George Levitt decided such a build Ing would add materially to the ad- Nertlslhg needed to bring the aims of the campaign before the public. It was his intention to have the interior fitted up similar to the Y. M. c. A. huts on the firing line and to have a group of Boy Scouts in attendance to distribute advertising literature and assist in booming the campaign.
 In the first place, however. City En- gineer w. H. Hall and Buildine In- spector A. N. Rutherford descended upon MT. Levitt for attemptine to build the structure without a hermit and in violation of the city ordinance. Eventually the permission of the board of public works was obtained. but the building inspector refused to issue a permit, although he consented to wink at the building when Mayor Quigley suggested that it would be all right if it remained standing only during the campaign. Then the work went merri1y on and the Boy Scouts began to distribute their literature Again what MT. Levitt calls "civic red Ia int i,, policeman. There is an ordinance prohibiting the distribution of liter ature in the form of handblls. etc., on the city streets and the policeman decided to enforce it. Rather than enter into any other "red tape con- troversies, Lawyer Levitt closed the structure and did not use it during the campaign except as billboard
 Thus it appears why the structure was erected, what it was erected for and why it never was used

Situation at Venice.

Venice, Italy, Sunday, Nov IS (By the Ass'd Press) 1.-The rumble of guns is heard throughout the city by night and day as the fleet and the, Venice coast batteries shell the enemy at the mouth of the Piavc. At 8 o'clock yes- terday afternoon an Austrian airplane flew over the city, but it dropped no bombs. The batteries of Venice did
 not fire! but when the machine flew
 over the grand canal Italian torped O
 boats discharged a score of shots.
 The city's water supply has not
 been interrupted, although it is feared the mains coming from the north will be cut.
 The American wife of a prominent Milan writer named Barelli has had an unusual experience. She was at Venice, while three of her horses and two blooded hounds were at Mestre. a suburb. The railway refused to take the horses and dogs, owing to the needs of the military. She mounted one horse, took the two others and dogs by leash and rode night and day to Bologna, 200 miles 1 over roads packed with military traf- 1 fic and refugees.
