Blight Causing Big
Pineapple Losses
Honolulu Expert Here Studying Cause
Thought To Be Due. To Soil Con-
ditiOn-0ahu Has Similar Trouble
Tests Being Made

NJ. o. Johnson, chemist Of the Ha-
waii experiment station spent several
days last week and this on Maui
making a study of the pineapple dis
eases which are apparently becoming
more serious in the Haiku district.
Mr.. Johnson Ks the scientist who
brought into profitable use thousands
of acres of manganiferous lands in the
Wahiawa district Oahu, which had
been abandoned as worthless for pines
by the simple expedient of spraying
the plants with iron sulphate solution
The Honolulu expert is inclined to
believe that the trouble at Haiku and
Kuiaha is a soil condition also, and
not due to any ordinary form of dis
ease. He is carrying out some lining
tests on the theory that excess acidity
may be at least partially responsible
1t is reported that a number OF
farmers in the Kuiaha district have
suffered almost an entire loss of theiI
planting from what is popularly called
wilt, sometimes following the first
| fruiting, but in number of instances
occurring before the plants have come
into bearing. A like, or very similar
condition is reported from the wind
ward side of Oahu.

Court Gives Murphy
S1OOOLibelDamages
Maui News Not Justified In Publish
ing Documents Filed With Court
Clerk-May Be Appealed-Case
Important To Newspapers

Judge Samuel B. Kemp, second
Judge OF the first circuit court, in Hon.
olulu, on Tuesday of this week award
ed damages in the sum of $1,000 to
Eugene Murphy from the Maui Pub
fishing Company, Limited, for libel.
The case will probably be appealed
to the supreme court.
Murphy broughtsuit against the pub
fishing company for $4,000 in which
amount he claimed to have been dam
aged through the publication of an
article in the Maui News on February
8. The article in question told of the
filing in the Office of the second cir
cult court of motion to reopen the
case of j. w. Ambrose VS.. Kealakaa,
on the grounds that Murphy, who has
been the attorney for the defendant.
had settled the case out of court with
out his clients knowledge of the true
facts in the case. Without DENYING
that such a motion had been filed,
Murphy held that the newspaper had
no right TO publish the fact prior to
its coming before the court for hear
ing. He was sustained in this by
Judge Kemp who held that such pub
lication was libel per Sc, and that
Murphy had been injured in his re-
putation to the extent of $1,000.
Considerable interest was aroused
in newspaper circles in the Islands for
the reason that the decision, if it
stands, will prevent the mention of
the filing of most classes of cases in
the courts prior to their being brought
actually before the court for action
The practice is one that so far as is
known has never before been quest
ioned in this territory.
Murphy was represented by And
rews G. Pitman, while d. H. Case and
Enos Vincent represented the defend
ant company.

Bank OF Maui, Ltd.
Gets New Charter
Strong Institution Begins New Phase
OF Successful Career-Will Be
Able To Fill LargerI Field OF Use
fulneSS

With the granting of the charter
for the Bank of Maui, Limited, by the
territorial treaurer on last Monday,
the First National Bank of Wailuku,
the First National Bank of Paia, and
the Lahaina National Bank were able
to begin the new month under their
new combination name, and under
territorial auspices instead of that of
the federal government. The combin-
alton, with the several banks as
branches, makes the largest banking
institution in the county, with capital
of $150,000, surplus of $17,500, and
total resources of over a million
dollars.
At the head of the new bank is
Clarence H. Cooke, as president, and
it was partly in order that Mr.. Cooke
might hold this position, that the fede'
raj charters were surrendered and the
territorial one secured. Because OF
Mr.. Cookies connection with. Bank OF
Hawaii, Limited, of Honolulu, the fede
raj law of inter-locking directorates
prevented his serving on the Maui
banks board, notwithstanding the fact
| that he is heavily interested financial
| ly.
Another reason that the change was
made is that now the bank will be per
mitted to deal more literally in rea
estate securities, and to lend money
on such security. 1t is believed thai
this one feature will be of immense
importance to Maui residents.
| Strating with very small resource
in 1901, the original bank in Wailuku
has now become one of the strongest
institution in the territory, and is deal
ing largely with the small individual
residents of Maui. 1t has been ably
handled by c. D. Lufkin, who has beer
continuously at it's head as cashier
and manager, and it now has the
strongest OF backing. Among the
stockholders are-C. M. Cooke, Ltd.
j. B. Atherton Estate, C. H. Cooke, c
H. Atherton, and others.

New Macadam Road
Damaged By Storm
Road Less Than A Year Old Which
Cost $4,000, Soon Will Be Beyond
Repairing May Be Saved By
Prompt Action

Heavy rains through central Maui,
last Saturday, Sunday, and MONDAY
were generally of much beneht 10
growing crops, but in the Haiku dls-
trict. where IA inches of rain fell dur
ing the three days, some damage was
done by soil washing. In a number
of instances newly planted lands were
washed out.
The new macadam road through the
Kuiaha homesteads, which was com
pleted less than year ago at cost OF
about $4,000, suffered severely from
the washing it received. In many
sections the binder of the macadam
has been entirely washed away and
disintegration has already begun.
County Engineer Cox, who asked
about the matter today, stated that
this is practically all the damage that
the county has suffered from the
storm. "If the Kuiaha road is not re-
paired and oiled at once" he declar'
ed, sit will be but a short time now un'
til there will be no road to repair. II
will soon be too late to try to save
the road"
The county supervisors several
months ago promised to oil the road
which at that time was already suf
fering badly from the wind, but while
the order has never been counter
manded so far as is known, no steI
has as yet been taken in the matter

Kahului Breakwater
To Start At Once
Railroad Notified Bid Is Accepted
Job Will Take 2 Years And Cost
About $2OO,OOO--Bid Was Low
One

Work on the west Kahului break
water is to be started at once. Super
intendent VIM. Walsh received notice
this morning that the bid of the Ka-
hului Railroad Company had been ap-
proved in Washington, and the con-
tract ordered signed. THAT means,
said Mr.. Walsh, that we shall get
busy just as fast as possible"
Because of the uncertainty on ac'
count of the war, however, the com
pany could not take any chances in
going ahead until the contract was de
finitely awarded so it will necessarily
be some little time before rock actu
ally begins to fall for the new harbeoI
work
While the appropriation for the
work is $250,000, on the basis of the
company's bid of $2,10 per ton fol
rock in place on the breakwater, ant
the engineers estimate OF $4,000 tons
the cost to the government will b'
well under 100000. "But we weren'
out to make money on the job" saiC
Walsh, tits the breakwater we wan
and for that reason we are willing t
figure as low as possible" The worl
will be a two years job.

Judge Mckay Alone Gets Confirma-
tiOn-GOvernOr Still Retains Ap-

w. A. Mckay, of the WaIuku dis.

Philip Pail, of Lahaina; Howard E.

The senate had a chance at these
four through the bill which passed in
the last days of the secession restor

Capt. Lyons Saved
With All His Crew
Popular Skipper Of MiSsOurian Tor
pedOed In War Zone Had Hunch
And Left Watch At Home
Friends Here Relieved

Word has reached Maui friends
through the Observation-Disclosures
Steamship Company, that Capt. Will
liam Lyons, of the steamship Missouri
an, sunk some weeks ago by German
submarine, was saved with his crew.
That the genial captain had "hunch"
of what was in store for him seems in
dicated from the fact that before he
sailed from the Atlantic coast on his
eventful voyage, he removed from his
cabin and left on shore all of his
personal belongings down to his
phonograph and even his watch.
DR.. George S. Aiken, of Wailuku,
who is an intimate friend of Capt
Lyons, expects to hear from him dir
ectly before long, as the two have
been keeping up more or less regular
correspondence ever since the Mis-
sourian left the Islands run to go in
to the munitions carrying trade nearly
two years ago.
Capt. Lyons, had the distinction Of
commanding the first merchant YES
sci to make the passage of the Pana-
ma canal after that great cut was
opened TO traffic. He was on the Mis-
sourian at the time.

No Explanation For
Lack OF Wireless
Two Operators Now On JOB But
Without Orders-0ther Islands
Working For Two Weeks Opera
tor Hatch Back

WHY the wireless communication TO
Maui is not reopened is still as deep
mystery as ever. Both Kauai ana
Hawaii have been in operation for
commercial business for over two
weeks. A few official messages nave
been PERMITTED to be sent Cnas'
Mulleitner, the operator being sui d!
his post.
Mulleitner, by the way, is as much
at sea as anybody, though he mas
given up hope of being retained at
most owing to his Austrian birth. he
is an American citizen of many years
standing, however, a national guards
man. and is the oldest operator in the
inter-island service. He enlisted IN
the naval reserve several weeks ago
when the u. S. S. Alert was recruiting
IN Maui waters. At least he was per
mitted to sign the articles of war ana
take the oath of service, but he mas
NOT since received word of his reJec-
tion or acceptance. In fact he mas
left entirely in the dark. For that
reason he has disposed OF his house,
hold goods and expects to leave Maui
in few days.
New Operator Here
r. Hatch, operator at Lahaina sever,
al years ago, returned from the coasl
this week. He has enlisted in the
navy and has again been assigned to
the Maui station. However he has nc
instructions and the station remains
closed to business. 1t is reported tha'
three operators are to be employed
and that a 24-hour day service is tC
be maintained.
MoIokai Operator Uncertain
Manuel de .Coito, Jr., the operator
who has been stationed at Kaunaka
kai. left for Honolulu on Wednesda!
accompanied by his wife, in respons'
to a summons of George p. Cooke
Mr.. de Coito refused to enlist in th'
naval reserve because the salary o
lS45 per month payed by the govern
lment would prove insufficient in cas-,
he were required to leave Molokai
where he also has been holding
clerical position with the Moloka
Ranch. 1t is understood that an ei
fort will be made to secure for him
higher rating, or some assurance tina
lhe will not be taken from Molokai, Il
which case he will enlist.

Experts Looking For A
Bight-PrOof Tomato

The Hawaii experiment station is
testing out strains of hybrid tomato
from which much is hoped. It is a
cross between the well-known Pond
erosa and the small wild cherry tom
alto. 1t has long been remarked that
the wild tomato is virtually immune
to all tomato diseases as well as to
most insect attacks, including the
melon and fruit flies. It is therefore
hoped that some of its hybrids, while
producing marketable fruits, may yet
retain the qualities of immunity
sought.
