Demand for Better Auto Regulation
President Wadsworth initiated a
vigorous protest against what he de-
clared was criminal carelesness on the
part of large number Of drivers Of
automobiles on Maui He cited the
fire truck being driven throughout
Kahului at thirty miles an hour with
out apparent cause, of automobiles
whirling around corners so fast that
nothing could have prevented an ac
cident had another machine happened
to be coming the other way He de
clared that he could recall thirteen
accidents which had occurred between
the Maui Soda & Ice Works and the
electric power house, all due to care
lessness or drunkenness. He wanted
new law, if present laws are not
sufficient to stop the trouble.
A general discussion followed ir
which some advocated doing away
with the speed regulations in favor OF
law simply prohibiting reckless OF
needless driving. The general opinion
seemed to be that there are plenty Of
laws at present, but that they are moi
enforced.
A committee was finally appointed
composed Of H. w. Rice, C. D. Lufkin
and William Walsh. which is to study
the matter of better automobile regul
alton, and take such steps as seen
best to have it remedied
Useless Fire Engine
| J. H. Trask, Jr., of the insurance
department of the First Nationa
Bank, voiced a kick against the Wal
lul1u fire department, declaring tha
the chemical engine, which cost thu
county $1,000 a few years ago is az
good as useless in emergency, from
the fact that no one ever seems to b'
on hand when an alarm comes II
who can handle the machine. c. D
Lufkin, d. II. Case, r. A. Drummond
and others took part, in the discussion
which seemed to indicate that ther'
is little faith in the efficacy of th'
fire engine under present conditions.

Old Hawaiian Idol
Is Found At MalikO
interesting Relic Sold By Owner For
Small Price Supposed To Have
Been Washed Down Stream

In the discovery of an old Hawaiian
idol on the beach at Maliko Gulch,
on last Tuesday, Joe Mitchell, police
officer at Hamakuapoko brought to
light one of the now exceedingly rare
relics of ancient Hawaii. He sold his
find the following day to j. J. Star,
of Honolulu, an itinerant jewelry
salesman, for SIS. Star later refused
to part with his purchase for less
than $100.
The image is described as about
two and a half feet in height, made of
koa or aali wood, and in excellent
state of preservation. It is the char
acteristic Hawaiian idol with bowed
legs, and grotesque features. From
marks on the image it is believed
that it had been washed down Maliko
stream from some cave where it had
probably been hidden a century or
more ago.

Kona Brings Rain And
Snow To Maui Districts

The kona storm which has prevail
ed for the past several days has
brought heavy rains quite generally
over the Maui, Wailuku got over an
inch and half on Wednesday night,
with more both before and after. La
haina and other parts of the south
side of the island got good soaking,
No damage is reported, though in
central Maui there has been almost
an over supply of rain in some parts
for best cane juices.
Snow on Haleakala
The decidedly chilly weather of the
past week may be accounted for by
the generous mantle of snow which
has covered the top of the mountain.
The enow is not nearly so low as it
sometimes is, but appears to be in
levels.

Magistrate Pail Is
Severe On Gun Men
FilipinOs Mixed Up In Revolver TrOu-
BILE Get Little Sympathy From La
haina Judge Policeman Receivers
Lost Gun

For the larcency Of a revolver be-
longing to Captain of Police Kalua-
kini of Lahaina, Pedro Alvarez, a Fill
ipino auto driver was on Wednesday
sent to Jail for nine months by Dis
trict Magistrate Philip Pail. An
other Filipino named Anahila was
fined S25 for having a revolver in his
possession.
The recovery of Kaluahnis gun
was due to row on the road betwe
Lahaina and the Honolua ranch, on
Saturday last. A. j. Cockett, of the
ranch, returning from Lahaina in his
automobile, had words with the Fill
ipino driver, over the right of way.
After Cockett passed volley of pistol
shots put his nerves on edge, and
later when the rent service auto was
examined'a a number of empty revolver
shells were found. One of the Fill
ipino passengers finally confessed, and
in the course of his confession told
of Alvarez's having sold a revolver
some time previously. The discrip-
tion of the gun caused Kalualdni to
investigate, with result that he re-
covered his own revolver, lost some
weeks before while riding in Alvarez S
machine.

Has Judge Edings
Lightning Rod Up?
RumOr Maui JuriSt Has Eye On Fede.
raj BenCh-TwO Other Places In
Honolulu Courts Also Vacant

The protracted absence of Circuit
Judge w. s. Edings in Honolulu, TAX
en- in connection with the general up
heaval in judicial circles in the Capt.
al, has started large amount of con-
juncture and surmise. With a place
on the federal bench vacant, as well
as two seats on the benches of the
first circuit court, it seems quite like
ly that the Maui judge might have
opportunity to fill one of those places
did he so desire.
From the fact that Judge Edings
virtually refused an appointment to
the circuit bench in Honolulu when
it was offered a year or more ago,
has led to the belief that he is still
not candidate for preferment in that
court, though he might be receptive
in the matter Of the federal court
place.
Edings went to Honolulu before
Christmas.

Haiku Farmers Want
Several New Laws
Farm Loans Act Most Important
Amendment Proposed For Cooper
alton Law-LOwer Interest Rate

The Haiku Farmers Association is
backing number of bills which are
to be presented to the coming legis-
lature. The most important of these
is, possibly, a rural credits bill, by
which it will be possible for agricul-
turists to obtain long time loans at
advantageous rate of interest, through
the usual banks or trust companies,
but with the territorial government
acting as Intermediary.
Another measure has for its purpose
the reducing of the rate of interest
paid by homesteaders to the govern
ment from eight percent to five per-
cent.
A third bill would amend the CO
operative association laws, passed at
the last session, so as to enable such
organizations to purchase their own
stock from members desiring to with
draw; and also making it possible for
such associations to incorporate at
less expense than at present.
Another bill seeks to make it legal
to keep rabbits for commercial purp-
oses. The present law has a joker in
it so big that the ostensible purpose
of the law is defeated, while at the
same time the keeping of rabbits for
profit would be illegal. The intention
of the law evidently was to guard
against possible danger of rabbits be-
coming a pest. and so no one is al
lowed to harbor rabbits in the ter
ritory, except as pets!

Farmers Club Wanted
Baldwin For Supervisor

w. A. Baldwin, manager of the Hal
ku Fruit G. Packing Company, was
unanimously endorsed for appoint
ment to the vacancy on the board of
supervisors at meeting of the Haiku
Farmers Association last Saturday
night. The appointment of Pia Cock
ett was made by the Governor on
Tuesday, however, before the com
munication of the association had
time to reach Honolulu.
The Haiku homesteaders recon-
mended Mr. Baldwin both for the rea-
son that they felt that he would have
made a valuable member of the board
but also for the reason that they be
lieve their section of Maui is entitled
to fuller recognition than it has had
in the past.

Question OF School
JanitOrs At Issue
School Commissioner Lindsay And
Principals Oppose McCIuSky Who
Would Let Schools Do Own Work

Whether or not the larger schools
of the county which now have the
services of janitors shall continue to
enjoy this luxury or whether the
. taNClr5-s and reiDiis shall do their
sweeping out, is the subject of
merry little three cornered fight be-
Ween Supervising Principal William
IcClusky, School Commissioner d. c.
lindsay, and the principals of the
chools that would be effected. The
,oard of supervisors is sitting as
eferee in the case. There will prob
bly, be no decision for another month
r two, and in meantime janitors will
erform their duties as Of yore.
Because of the fact that with the
owered tax rate, the fund for school
ncidentals, including janitor service,
S likely to be considerably reduced
Turing the year, Principal McClusky
las suggested 10 the supervisors that
the janitors now employed be all
iropped and the money saved used to
keep up the supplies needed for the
school throughout the county. A por
ton of the money, Mr.. McClusky
would allow however, to the princip
ais of the schools to pay students fol
doing the janitor work necessary.
Commissioner Lindsay is strenuous
ly opposed to this program. He wants
to keep the ianitors, and would &c
further and place these factotumS
under control of the school principals
which they are not at present Mr.
Lindsay has the cordial backing o.
the principals, it is said. A meeting
of thes pfincipals yesterday to discuss
the, subject. is said to have beer
. warm. -
The Supervisors have taken stant
of waiting for the school people tC
fight out the matter themselves be
fore acting ons' way or the other. Th'
matter will probably come up AGAR
at next months meeting.

Tax Rate Reduced By Increase In Values
Maui Property Owners However Will Pay More Assessments
May Reach $45,OOO0OO

The tax rates for Maui county the
coming year have been fixed at 1,21
percent, according to report made this
week by Territorial Treasurer Nc
Carthy. This is lower than last year
which had a rate of 1882; and of 1915,
when the rate was 1.44.
But although the rate is lower it
must not be understood that the coun-
ty needs, or expects to get less md
ney in taxes. The rate is based on
last years valuations, and as this
years assessments will probably be
considerably greater than last, the

eastern empire by the world powers after the Boxer troubles

eastern empire by the world powers after the Boxer troubles.
 Facts learned today from off1ciel and diplomatic circles serve to clear up much of the obscurity which has ovefhuns events in the Far East in the past month. Occasional vague despatches from China and references in the refchstag to "China's abandon ment of neutrality" have thrown only dim light upon Germanys endeavor to keep China out of the struggle, the entente's move to bring her in and Chfna's reluctance to change her pres ent state of peace without adequate rewards.
 China desires to accomplish the complete remission of the Boxer in- demnfties, which total over $30, ,00o, 900 a year and continue until 1940. If she entered the war. the part which oth- erwise would be paid to Austria and Germany could be repudiated. Tnfor- nation here indicates that the entente already has agreed to postpone pay n1ents in case China begins hosti1ities but does not corroborate Tientsin ad- vices that France and Belgium, in be- half of the powers, have offered com plete remission. The sum involved is such an appreciable part of China's total expenses that a satisfactory agreement might well solve the finan- cfa1 difficulties of the government.

TO HAVE WOMEN
 LETTER CARRIERS IN PARIS
As an Experiment Preference Will be
 Given to Wives of Soldiers.

Paris, March 2. 5.45 D. m.-women letter carriers will soon be delivering mail in Paris. This method will be an experiment and preference will be given to wives of soldiers. Some doubt has been expressed as to whether the women will be able to shoulder the wooden box that the Paris postrnen carry without being too greatly fatigued. The wooden boxes now are well filed since several mail deliveries have been suppressed or consolidated with others. Sometimes, also, the mail from the United States is so heavy as greatly to increase the weight of the boxes.
 Recently women tried to replace the postmen at Neuilly, suburb of Paris but they lasted only three days. The postal administration, however. hopes that the Paris experiment will be more successful
