Three More Crimes
Charged To Booze
Sheriff Crowell Says Drunkenness Is
On Increase On Maui-HaS
Changed Mined On Prohibition
Question

That booze offenses are becoming
more numerous on Maui, is the decla.
ration of Sheriff Clem Crowell. He
cites the police record for the month
CT March just past, with Is arrests
for drunkenness, against an average
of about half that number for some
months previous. about a year ago."
declarded Crowell, Eve used to round
up 8, 4, or maybe drunks in month.
l haven't been able to find any solu-
tion to the puzzle"
But more than this, Maui's sheriff
has changed his personal mind on the
booze question. 81 voted against pro-
hibition at the plebiscite," said he,
"But if the question comes up again l
think l shall vote the other way. The
idea is somewhat against my belief of
what constitutes a mans personal
liberty, but l guess it would be the
best thing"
Three Serious Booze Crimes
Paia, Wailuku, and Olowalu each
furnished case for the police courts
this week of more than ordinary SER
iousness, due entirely to drink.
John Makepa, of Paia, while under
the influence of liquor last Friday
night, entered the home of his brother,
the latter being at work in the mill,
and made an assault on his brothers
wife. The woman made her escape
from the house and reported the mat
ter, with the result that Makepa was
arrested In the Makawao district
court on Tuesday he was convicted of
vagrancy and sentenced by Magistrate
Anjo to serve months in Jail.
Without any provocation, Pedro
Santiago, a Porto Rican laborer at
Olowalu, attempted, last Sunday Morn
ing to stab John Saffrey with an ugly
looking knife. He was very drunk,
or he might have succeeded. AS it
was Saffrey turned the bad man over
with an upper-cut Before Magis-
trate Pail, on Monday, he was found
guilty and sentenced to Jail for 6
months.
$50 For Assault And Battery
In the Wailuku district court on
Wednesday, Antoine Palu was fined
500 and sent to Jail in default of the
fine for knocking tooth from Enoka' S
Jaw while the latter was lying down.
The assault took place last Saturday
at the foot of Market street. Being
drunk was the only excuse for the
crime.

Island Wireless To
Soon Be ReOpened
Government May Retain Control Per-
manently-Inventory Being Taken
-HOnOlulu-COaSt Service Now
Working As Usual

Maui is still without wireless
service except for government busi-
ness. It isbelieved that it is but a
question of a few days, however, until
the ordinary business of the system
will be resumed but under the direct
management of the navy department.
During the past week all of the wire
less plants in the Islands were taken
over absolutely by the government. II
is generally believed that this move
spells the end of private enterprise in
the wireless field. An inventory of
the plants of the Mutual company is at
present being taken, which, it is under
stood is responsible for no business
being accepted.
Censorship Raised
The censorship on cable messages
to the coast was lifted in Honolulu on
Tuesday of this week, and on the fol
lowing day Federal and Marconi wire
less plants, combined, however, and
under naval management, began again
the usual course of business with the
mainland, including press dispatches.
There has been no change at the La
haina station, except that Operator
Charles Mulleitner is now in charge as
a member of the u. S. naval reserve,
which service he Joined during the
recent visit of the U. S. S. Alert to
Lahaina, instead of being In the EN-
ploy of the Mutual Company. II is
probable that he will continue in
charge of the station, although there
is a possibility that he may be trans
ferred elsewhere.

Children'S Garden
Will Be Directed
Much Interest In Plan To Help Out
Food Supply - Plantations Will
Prepare Land-Contest Will Be
Encouraged And Clubs Organized

To encourage the children of Maui
IN growing things, and particularly
things to eat, is a plan which will
probably be taken up Systematically
through a standing committee of the
newly organized Maui County Fair and
Racing Association. In the meantime
a good deal of discussion has taken
place during the past week on the
matter, particularly as it fits in well
with the recognized need of food con-
servation in Maui, as well as in the
whole country.
The interest aroused among the
school children through the school
garden contest inaugurated by the
Star-Bulletin, is to be kept up through
an organization of Maui citizens, a
number of whom are enthusiastic
over the plan. L. r. Mathews, head
worker of the Alexander House Settle
ment has offered to devote his time to
the work of organizing the scheme,
and F. G. Krauss, of the Haiku eX-
pertinent station will be the technical
and scientific adviser.
Plantation interests generally on
Maui are encouraging the idea as
much as possible. Manager Frank
Baldwin of the Hawaiian Commercial
q Sugar Company called a meeting of
the lunas of the big plantation yester-
day, and it was decided to s. aside
suitable tracts of ground adjacent to
the several camps, plow it, and turn
it over to the children. Limited use
of the filtered water will probably be
permitted for irrigation, or some other
means devised.
The plan is to organize the children
all over Maui, through persons in the
different districts who can be inter-
rested in the plan, and through the
committee thus formed to undertake
a systematic training in garden work.
Prizes will be arranged for. and by
next year it is believed that the work
will be so well in hand that a wonder
full showing can be made at the coun-
ty fair.
Canning Clubs Likely
Mr.. Mathews has in mind also the
organizing of canning clubs along the
lines which have proven so successful
in many parts of the mainland in
recent years. Through these the chill
dren would be fought to preserve
garden products for which there may
be no immediate demand. These
clubs in different parts of the county
would doubtless compete keenly in
exhibits for the fair, besides teaching
the children invaluable lesson in thrift
and economy.

Tried To Save $1.5O Got
Soaked SIS By Court

In a dispute over $3.50 which Philo-
mel, Filipino of Lahaina claimed had
been withheld from money due him by
Oura, japanese contractor, on his
order, the Filipino struck the Japanese
in the face with his fist cutting a
nasty cash on the cheek bone. The
police say that Philomel authorized
Oura to withhold the $3.50 and pay il
to another Filipino, but that hetook
IT back later and collected the amount
, together with other pay due him.
Afterwards he denied having done
this, and when the Japanese protest
ed, struck him. Judge Pail fined the

Portuguese Make
Run On MauiBankS
RumOr Government Was About To
Grab Their Savings Starts Small
Panic Canard Spread Rapidly
Banks Not IncOnvenienced

Although the banks of the territory
have probably more money than they
every held before Mauis banking es-
adjustments this week experienced
a real run" on them. AS result
there is now probably stuck away in
old stocking and sugar bowls, or buri-
ed under grape arbors some s25,000
or 100000 in hard cash which last
week peacefully repused in burglar
proof vaults.
The run" has been confined to the
Portuguese, among whom a rumor be-
came current last week that the
United States government was pre-
pairing to seize all funds in banks in
the name Of foreigners. And the
Maui Portuguese were not taking any
chances. They began to present their
saving books last Saturday in ones
and twos and when the banks opened
on Monday they came in augmented
numbers. No assurance satisfied them
they simply wanted their cash and
wanted it quick.
The Banks of Maui in Wailuku, and
its branches i'm Paia and Lahaina met
the demands as fast as they came, and
thus somewhat took the edge off the
run. d. c. Lindsay, cashier of the
Baldwin National Bank at Kahului,
states that the demands on his bank
will not amount to more than $4,000 or
$4,000.
The absurdity of the panic is height
ened when il is remembered that even
the property of German subjects in
the United States will be perfectly
safe so long as it owners obey the law.
II has not been learned whether or
not the infection also exists on other
islands.
