Old Chinese Commits
Suicide By Hanging

Wong Chan, kamaaina Chinese ag-
ed about 60 years, committed suicide
last Friday afternoon at Puohala, near
Waihee, by hanging himself in vac,
ant honse near his home. The deed
was discovered by Hung Kim, with
whom he had been living, and evid-
ence is strong that had he promptly
cut the hanging man down, instead OF
running to Wailuku to notify the
police, his friend would still be living
today.
When Deputy Sheriff Cummings and
DR.. Osmers reached the scene of the
tragedy, the body was still warm, but
the man was dead. He had fastened
a rope around a beam and around his
neck, and then kicked the box on
which he stood from beneath him. The
dead man had been in poor health for
a long time, and but recently left the
hospital. He was a taro planter. He
had no relatives in the Islands.

prominent features of last Saturday

this popular couple since their arrival
home following their wedding in Ho-
nolulu a few weeks ago.
Dancing was the chief diversion of
the evening, following the formal re-
ception and presentation and it prov
ed to be one of the most really enjoy
able dances of the season. The music
(by Miss Hoffman's orchestra) was
unusually compelling, and ii was mid
night all too soon for many of the
merry dancers. Besides the dancing
some of the guests enjoyed the
more sedate excitement of the whist
tables. Dainty sandwiches and cof-
fee were served during the evening.
There were perhaps 200 guests pres
ent from all parts of Maui, and some
very striking gowns were in evidence,

Worth o. Aiken, cashier of the Paia,
branch of the Bank of Maui, returned
on Wednesday night from Honolulu
where he attended an important meet
ing of the Hawaii promotion commit

Small Crowd Sees
Good Ball Game

Baseball seems to have taken on a
new lease on life since the visit of
the St Louis College team. Two pick
ed teams played a very creditable
game on the Wailuku diamond last
Sunday, though the attendance was
small owing to the distraction of the
steamer Maui in port. The same
teams will play again tomorrow and
should have a good crowd. The game
will be called at o'clock.
The game last Sunday was between
the Mauis and the All-Stars and the
latter put it over the former by the
score of to 8.
Keehu of the Mauis, did not appear
on the diamond which of course weak
ened his side.
The game was an exciting one espe-
cially towards the end as the score
shows.
The score by innings of last Sun
days game was as follows:

Hawaiian Boy Tries
To Crack Bank Safe
Lands In Jail After Foolish Effort To
Force Burglar Proof Vault Of
Paia Bank-Little Damage

Poldni Kalawaia, a young Hawaiian
with long Jail record, in again in the
Wailuku bastile, this time with bank
burglary charge against him. He is
said to have confessed to Sheriff Crow
ell that he broke into the Paia branch
of the Bank of Maui, last Saturday
night, and battered up the combina-
ton on the vault with a sledge ham,
mer in an effort to get into the strong
box of the bank. All he did secure
was some SO or 81 in stamp drawer
in desk. The vault, which is burg
llar-proof, was uninjured except that
the handle and combination knob
we're somewhat marred. He got in
the building by breaking a window.
The burglary took place after mid
night last Saturday night, Cashier
Worth Aiken having stopped at the
bank at about that hour on his way
from a reception. Kalawaia had been
lying in the cane field opposite the
bank, and it was there that Sheriff
Crowell found the clue which led to
his arrest, in the shape of a lei which
he had worn on his hat.
Foolish Attempt
Even could Kalawaia have succeed
ed in breaking through the chilled
steel plates of the vault door, he
would have had still harder task
ahead of him from the fact that the
money in the bank is kept in a mas
sive steel safe inside the vault which
is guaranteed to defy any cracks
mans efforts.
Kalawaia is a cripple, using a short
crutch which he straps beneath his
knee. He has quite record for small
burglaries and petty thievery He has
lately been working at the cannery at
Haiku.

tifuI Ship During Stay At Kahului

The reception of the new steamship
Maui on her maiden voyage, by the
people of the island for which she was
named was one that will doubtless
long be pleasantly remembered by all
who had part in the happy ceremony.
AS per schedule, the splendid new
flagship of the Matson line spent all
last Sunday in Kahului harbor, during
which time hundreds of Maui people
visited her. and were accorded the
finest of hospitality by her officers
and crew. ssa@
The Maui chamber of commerce
delegation, accompanied by many lad
les, composed the first party to be
ferried out to the Mauis anchorage
after she had been made fast about
$3.50 o'clock. They were received at
the gangway by Capt. Peter Johnson
and his officers, and in the social
lounge of the ship by Capt William
Matson, president and founder of the
company, e. d. Tenney, vice-president,
and by other officers of the company.
After the visitors had been given
time to make an inspection of the
splendid ship and her beautiful ap-
pointments, the members of the cham
ber gathered in the social hall and
there President r. A. Wadsworth, in
the name of the chamber, presented
to Capt. Matson for the ship, the
beautiful bronze mantle clock set
which had been secured in San Fran
cisco through the kindness of Wallace
Alexander.
An Appre Address
President Wadsworth's address was
almost personal one to Capt. Matson
and there is no doubt that the veteran
shipping man duly appreciated it,
Mr.. Wadsworth stated that he had pro
badly known Capt. Matson for a long
er time than anyone else present, and
he recalled some of the little incid-
ents connected with the early days OF
Matson's career in the islands when
he was skipper of the sailing vessel

Baldwin Will Head
Fair Association
Directors Elects Officers At Earnest
Meeting - Children'S Committee,
Race Committee And Market Com
mittee Named

That the new Maui County Fair G.
Racing Association will have a much
wider field of usefulness than is usual
for such organization, is becoming
more and more manifest as the days
go by and the ideas of the men who
form the board of directors begin to
crystalize. 1t seems quite evident
that the Association is planning to in
augurate lot of measures of public
nature, perhaps but indirectly relat-
ed to a fair proper, but for which
there has long been a demand.
AS an example, at the meeting held
on Tuesday afternoon of this week,
the directors approved a plan and
authorized the formation of a stand
ing committee on "Children's Gar
dens." D. H. Case is the boards
representative on this committee, and
chairman, but L. r. Mathews, head
worker of the Alexander House Settle
ment, will have general charge of or
ganizing the work proposed. The
plan is to appoint local committees in
all the communities of Maui county,
of persons interested in children and
the development of home gardens, and
to encourage competitive gardening
among the children in each of these
districts. Prizes other than money
will be awarded to winners in each
community. 1t is proposed that each
first prize winner might be given a
trip to Honolulu under proper guild
ance, following the plan of the prizes
to winners in the corn and pig contests
now so popular in the eastern, middle
and southern states, where a trip to
Washington is the much coveted first
prize.
To get Busy At Once
Although the next Maui County Fair
will not be held till the summer or fall
of 1918, the Children's Garden Com
mittee is already at work. 1t plans
to have at least 500 children's gardens
under way in the shortest time pos
sible. 1t believes that through the
children it will be possible TO do much
towards reducing the cost of living on
