All of the troops attached to the

check at the hands of the French last

On the Aisne front also the Ger

Northeast of Cerny they succeeded in
gaining salient which had been lev

Whether these operations marked

Food Commission
Taking Food Census
Has Sent Out Circulars To $500
DealerS-InfOrmatiOn Gained Ex-
peCted To Shed Much Light On
Food Question In Islands

Definite knowledge of the amount
of food on hand in Hawaii is of vital
interest just now, to the people and
to the food commission which has the
duty of solving the territory's food
problems. To gain this definite in
formation the food commission is mail
ing $500 circular queries this week to
all retail and wholesale dealers in the
islands.
The commission has found that
this data is absolutely necessary be-
fore a safe, intelligent plan can be
created for conserving food supplies
in the territory. The circular letter,
printed in English, Chinese and Jap.
|anese, says to the dealer to whom 1t
is addressed:
you are requested by the Terri
torial Food Commission to report on
this blank the quantities of the food
stuffs named below and which are in
your possession on June 80, 1917"
1t enumerates the cereal products, dry
beans, peas, lentils, meat, fish, dairy
products, eggs, oils and fats, vegetables
fruits and canned goods, asking the
dealer to set opposite each item the
amount he has on hand. in pounds
bags, cans or gallons, as the case may
be.
The dealer also is asked whether
he imports any of these, or buys them
in Hawaii. This is to acertain what
importations are made other than
those which come through Honolulu
Retail and wholesale firms are asked
to answer the questions accurately
and thoroughly, and return the cir
culars to the commissin as promptly
as possible. Data given by the in
dividual dealer will be regarded as
confidential.

MauiLeadS In Food
PrOduCtiOn---Dean
Head OF Food Commission Urges
Economy Of Foods As A Moral
Duty-HOpeS New Crops May Be
Permanently Established

Maui has the credit of having made
more progress than have any of the
islands in the matter of food prepare
dness, according to DR.. A. l.. Dean,
president of the College of Hawaii,
and head of the new territorial food
commission.
DR.. Dean made this statement to
a large and representative audience
of Maui men and women who agther-
ed at the Wailuku Town Hall last
Friday afternoon to hear his talk on
food production and conservation and
an outline of the plans of the COM
mission The address was given un-
der the auspices of the Maui County
Fair & Racing Association, the speak
er being introduced by President F.
F. Baldwin, of the organization.
Does Not Expect Food Shortage
DR.. Dean stated among other things,
that he does not expect that there will
be food shortage in Hawaii because
there will be plenty of money here to
buy food, and with Hawaiis sugar in
such great demand there will also
be the ships to carry the sugar and
incidentally to bring back food sup
plies. But for the sake of the rest of
the worl, which is not so well pro-
vided, the speaker urged the import
|ance of drawing as lightly as possible
on the mainland supply of foods, and
of producing all we can in way Of
substitutes both for home consump-
tion and to export.
In DR.. Deans opinion, should the
Islands ever be besieged by a hostile
fleet, Oahu will be thrown upon its
own resources, and any food produced
on the other islands would be of no
avail. 1t is the hope of the food COM
mission, he said to get the production
Of certain staple foods so well estab-
lished that they will become perman-
ent crops and not simply emergency
ores as at present. To do that they
must be able to enter the markets in
competition with similar crops grown
elsewhere.

Sam Kaahui Guilty
-GetSLifeSentence
Murder OF Aged NOa Kaaa Takes
Back His Confession, But Case
Is Too Conclusive - Jury Gives
Verdict Quickly

After a trial lasting but one day,
charged with the murder of 72 year
old Noa Kaaa, brought in a verdict of
guilty of murder in the second degree,
and Judge Edings imposed a sentence
of life imprison. The case was tried
at Lahaina.
Kaahui, who had been evicted from
his home in the Ukumehame valley,
on land of the Olawalu Company, and
the Catholic church, on which he had
been squatting, blamed his troubles
to Kaaa, his aged neighbor, who had
appeared as a witness in court again
st him, and who was later put in Gus
tody of the taro lands which Kaahui
had been dispossessed of. After
brooding over the matter for some
time Kaahui went in the night to Ka-
aa's house strangled the old man to
death after a fierce fight, and then set
fire to the cabin to cover the crime.
He confessed the murder to Sher-
iff Crowell, but took back this confes-
sion at the time of his trial. Circum-
stances, however, were so strong that
the jury was but half an hour in ar
irving at a verdict.
The jury in the case was composed
of-Hugh Howell, G.. w. Patterson,
Charles Thompson, G.. j.. Bechert, A.
d. Furtado, Jos. Meinecke, Charles
Akana, and ]. H. Nelson.

Maui Maids Find
Love Course Rough
Two More Chinese DamSelS Encounter
Parental Opposition To Their
Matrimonial Plans - Both Under
Age

The road to matrimony is proving
not to be smooth one for a number
of comely Chinese maidens of Maui
lately. Last week, as told in the Maui
News, Miss Charlotte Tam Wong, of
Makawao, beat the old folks to it and
on proving herself to be over 1S years
old, was granted marriage license
and quickly welded to Sam Kaleo, Jr.,
of Paia, in spite Of frantic telephone
appeals to have the match stopped.
But today two other less fortunate
Chinese maidens are being held by
the police because they also want to
get married against parental wishes,
and they really are too young to defy
this authority. Both are of Paia. One
is the daughter of Tam Chong, the
well known merchant, who would wed
one Ed. Alu. The other is Rose
Chang, daughter of Chang You Chong,
who applied to Marriage License
Agent Cockett this morning with
Frank Estrella, young Filipino for
license, but was denied on account
of her obvious youth.

Honolulu Horses To
Come For Big Meet
Dillingham; String Due Tomorrow
Morning-0thers Expected-Big
Fourth ASSured-POlO Will Close
Big Days Sports

Just what horses are coming from
Honolulu for next weeks races at the
Kahului track are not definitely
known up to the present time. 1t is
known, however, that Walter Dilling-
hams Umpqua and Oneta will arrive
by tomorrow mornings Claudine
while Macfarlane's Mary Jay, which
ran such a wonderful race with Harry
Baldwins Frances B. in the recent
Honolulu events, is also expected
There is hope that Bob Shingles
horses will also be with the bunch
but as nothing specific has been heard
from Shingle this is uncertain.
There is a good chance also that
El Orc and Carmelita, the two PAGERS
which made a great showing two
weeks ago, will also come.
Good Sport Assured
But nobody here is losing sleep
over what Oahu horses do or do not
come, for the card is we'll filled in any
event, and while the visiting horses
will of course help the big Fourth OF
July event if they come, their absence
will by no means spoil the meeting
or even seriously handicap it.
The fact that there has been no new
centers of infection since those re-
ported last week, and that the near
est of these is s or 10 miles away from
Kahului, has enabled DR.. Norgaard to
assure the Honolulu horsemen of the
lack of danger in bringing their ami
mails up.
Polo For Afternoon
The race program has been so
arranged that the races will be finish
ed by $3.50, in good time for the polo
game which is to take place at the
Keahua field half an hour later. This
game is between the Maui's and Oahu
team. The Honolulu ponies are due
to arrive tomorrow also. The Oahu
poloists, who were defeated in two
games in Honolulu recently by the
Maui four, 1t is understood are out
this time to win, and hot battle is

Maui Merchants To
Help Maui Farmers
Machinery Shaping Up To Handle
Business In BuSinesslike Manner
H. W. Rice Makes Valuable
Suggestions In Report

For the purpose of helping out the
small farmer and to also help the ter
ritory and the nation in its efforts to
make the best use possible of all pro
ducts that can be produced, ]. j..
Walsh, manager of the Kahului Store,
has accepted the appointment of Ter
ritorial Marketing Division agent and
is preparing to assist in the collect
ing, packing and selling Of all kinds
of farm truck that may be grown on
Maui.
A large warehouse of the Kahului
Store has been set aside for the work,
although it is Mr.. Walsh individually
and not Kahului Store that is handling
the new work. Mr.. Walsh agreed to
undertake the task after consultation
with A. L. Castle, of Honolulu, who
is closely identified with the work
of the food commission, having been,
as a member of the senate, one of the
chief advocates of the bill creating the
body
An Encouraging Report
In line with this undertaking, the
report of Harold w. Rice, on the sub
ject of food production and distribu-
ton on Maui, submitted to the Coun-
ty Fair & Racing Association, at a
meeting of the directors held last
Wednesday, is of especial interest. 1t

Gentlemen:
At the request Of our president, Mr.
F. F. Baldwin, that act as a commit

and store-keepers together so that
more of our local produce might be
marketed here on Maui, and also to
look into general marketing condi-
tions, submit the following as brief
report of my work along this line

constructive criticisms from men who

were held last Friday evening in the
Paia Community House, and attended
by a large number of friends of the
two young graduates and of the school.
The two members finishing the
course are Miss Constance Kinney and
Mr.. Douglas Wells. Both have made
excellent records. The graduating
essays were both well prepared and
showed much careful work and study
They were listened to with much in
terest and appreciation.
The address of DR.. A. L. Dean, pre-
sident of the College of Hawaii, was
an inspiring one to students and older
folk alike.
The hall and stage where the eXer-

corated with flowers for the occasion.
At the back of the stage a large "'17"

Race Rules Strict
Against Gambling
Fair Association Holds Important
Meeting Over 1000 Children's
Gardens NOw-NO Anthrax Danger
For Racers Says Fitzgerald

AS a result of little "rustling" on
the part of the directors of the Maui
County Fair and Racing Association,
the organization now has a member
ship of 131. OF this number 26 are
women. 1t is confidently expected
that a membership of several times
this size will be had before long. In
fact quite a number of more names
were in the hands of various directors
for presentation at the meeting Wed
nesday afternoon, but owing to the
fact that the formality of the initiation
fee had been overlooked, they had to
be ignored for the time being. Mem
bership for men in the association
costs $40 and for women SIS. The dues
for all alike are 81 per pear The
directors report that almost every
body seen had been anxious to become
identified with the organization.
Racing Rules Bar Gambling
The racing committee reported that
plans for the Fourth of July races are
working out well, and that barring
some unexpected contingency the ex-
cellent program prepared will be put
through without a hitch. The fact
that there has been no anthrax within
or 10 miles of the race track, and
that there have been no new areas Of
infection for over a week, made 1t
safe for the Honolulu horses and local
racers expected to take part, was the
opinion expressed by DR.. ]. G. FitZger-
aid, deputy territorial veterinarian.
DR.. Fitzgerald further stated that
there is probably less danger to the
Honolulu horses in coming to Maui
than there was for the Maui horse
which went to Honolulu several weeks
ago at the time of the anthrax out
break there.
The racing committee submitted the
following set of rules for governing
the racing, which was adopted by the
directors after some consideration:
