Bertram Aiken Home
Surprises Family
Spent Many Months On Mexican BOr-
der With National Guard-GOt Dis
charge And Decided To Come Home

Springing a complete surprise on
his parents, Bertram Aiken, son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. o. Aiken, of Makawao,
who was supposed to be with ma
tional guard company on the Mexican
border, arrived home last week un-
announced. Young Aiken left his school
in Indiana shortly after the call for
troops last spring, and took very
full course of soldering among cactus
and mesquit ''in Texas, down by the
Rio Grande."
Getting his discharge a few weeks
ago, he went back to Indiana but
found he could not re-enter until next
term, so he decided to head for home.
He sent no announcement of his plan,
and thus treated his family and
friends to a great surprise on his ar
rival He says his army experience
has been quite enough for a few
weeks, at least. 1t has been three
years since he has been in the Islands.

Maui Man Is Again
Bomb Plot Witness
Herbert Wade, Principal Of Pauwela
School Identifies Men Suspected Of
San Francisco Outrage

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 90
Herbert Wade of Hawaii was a wit
ness here today in the trial Of Thomas
j. Noon ;. alleged ripgleader of five
suspected bomb-plotters charged with
the murder of the victims of the pre-
paredness day" bomb here last July
Wade identified Warren X. Billings
as the man entering a dental office
prior to the explosion and asking per-
mission to go to the roof.
Mr. Wade, who is a principal of the
Pauwela school, went to San Francis
co last September to testify in the
trial of Billings. Billings was the first
of the suspects to be tried, and was
convicted and given life imprison-
ment. The prosecution in the Mooney
case is trying to show that Billings
was carrying the mysterious suitcase
near the scene just prior to the ex-
plosion.

Grounds District Magistrate Is Not

entered a plea in abatement in con
nect'on with the case of Harata ct al
charged with gambling. Murphy
charges that Mckay is not citizen
of the United States, for the reason
that he was never legally naturalized;
and he further alleges that the district
magistrate is also not qualified be-
cause he does not hold a license to
practice law in the Territory. An ap-
peal was noted when Judge Mckay
overruled the plea.
Murphy attempted to block Nc

new commission was issued last week
following a brief investigation by the
Governor.

DOESN'T WANT RURAL
DELIVERY ROUTE
Editor Maui News,

Editor Maui News,
Dear Sir: / wish to call your at
tention to the fact that the people
that are circulating the petition for
the rural route. They have been
circulating the petition since October
and have been unable to get enough
names. Now they are going around
telling the people that it is for the
reopening of the Pauwela postofiice;
that Mr.. A. F. Tivirous sent them a
round with request for them to sign.
They fooled several Japs and a numb
er of Portuguese. Some Porto Ricans
could not read or write they put down
their names without their consent.
If that is the way we have to do what
we want | think we would be better
off without it, The postmaster at
Honolulu will surely know this and
also the pOstmastergeneral in Wash
ington. If you wish to publish this
do so. l hope you will have plenty
of witnesses,
Respectfully,
T. W. FERGUSON.

Need Men For Scout
Work Says Report
Maui Boys Making Good Showing
Annual Meeting OF Local Council
Elects New Officers

Last Friday night, at the Office Of
the Head Worker of the Alexander
House, the Maui Boy Scout Council
had its annual meeting and election of
officers for the ensuing year, as fol
lows: DR.. w. ID. Baldwin, president;
Dan T. Carey, vicepresident; w. F..
Crockett, secretary; +. A. LHfllin,
treasurer; L. r. Mathews, commits
sioner.
The council voted that the fifty dor
lars gift of the Maui Fair Executive
Committee should be distributed
equally between the three troops part
icipating in the Fair. This money
VIII be used TO buy troop equipment.
Rowland B. Dodge was elected .
member of the council for the year.
This group of men, comprising nearly
every business and profession in the
community, took a keen interest in
the report Of the officers and express
ed desire to see the Boy Scout move
ment extended and brought to high
er level of efficiency.
Encouraging Report
Following is the text of the annual
report submitted by Commissioner
Mathews:
L ~ AllN lA4fAAHtln u Alit -AfAul AhAitAAA
Judged by the standards of numbers
one could hardly call the past year
successful in scouting for there are
! less boys enrolled now than at the
| beginning of the year. No boy is re
gularly enrolled as a scout in full
standing unless his name is register
ed in National Headquarters in New
York. Judged from the standard oi
efficiency, however. We may feel tina,
scouting has improved, although it has
much remaining that should be done
Three troops are registered compris
ing about sixty boys. These boys are
progressively improving in scoutshiE
or they are dropped from the ranks
Troops V and VI have passed theh
| second class test and are now ready

Marketing Division
Pays Promptly Now
Farmers Bureau Working On Bust
ness Lines-Changes In Staff Made
Also = Constructive Suggestions
Welcomed

Honolulu, January 22, 1917.
With the exception of two of the
largest, all consignOrs have been paid
in full for all goods sold by the Divi-
sion, up to the end of December.
This is the first time that this has
been possible in three years, and it is
only possible now through funds priv
ately advanced. This emphasizes the
fact that the Division needs a cash
fund out of which to make payments
to farmers as soon as their goods are
sold. The restrictions on the present
Territorial Revolving Fund prevent
the use of the money for such purpos-
es. From now on, however, the pros
poets are bright that the Division will
be able to pay off its consignors
promptly by the fifteenth of the month
following the sale of their produce.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the
Division, has been slowness in making
returns to consignors. Now that this
has been overcome, it is hoped that
all farmers who have not been ship
ping because of slow returns, will
start shipping again.
In spite of the handicaps the Div
ision has been working under, the
sales have been increasing regularly,
and with the present facilities, the
market can handle a much larger
Quantity of produce than is at present
being received. With a greater var
iety of produce on hand for sale, the
easier it is to sell, and the more mo-
ney for the consignor.
If you have produce for sale, write
the Division about it before selling it
elsewhere. There have been some
changes made in the staff of the Div
ision which, it is expected, will in
crease its efficiency. and that consign
ors will receive better service.
The Division extends an invitation
to all producers who are interested
in getting more money for their crops
and livestock, and to all consumers
who wish to decrease the cost of liv
ing to call at the Division to see what
is being done for the small farmer il
Hawaii.
Now that the Division is startinS
out a new year, suggestions and con
structiye criticism from consignors
and others who are interested in the
welfare of the Division, will be gladl!
lreceived by the Superintendent.

One Accident Board
For Whole Territory
Is Idea Of Maui Body Which Would
Also See Government Insurance
Bureau-0ther To Be Suggested

If the Recommendation of the Maui
Industrial Accident Board is followed,
the coming legislature will so amend
the workmen's compensation law of
the territory so that one board will
handle the work which is now handled
independently by the several county
boards
The Maui board held a meeting last
Monday morning at which this and
various other changes in the law were
suggested. The board believes that
the work could be better administer
ed by a single body devoting most of
their time to the work, and with paid
clerks on each of the islands. The
board also urges that a uniform form
Of policy be prescribed for insurance
companies desiring to do business und-
er the act 1t would also have the
companies required to furnish insur-
ance to small employers at much
lower minimum than the present $40
rate.
Want A Territorial Insurance
Department
The Maui board is also strong for
q territorial insurance bureau, to be
administered on business lines, but de-
signed to furnish compensation insur?
ance at as low a rate as possible to
those required to carry it. The board
does not believe that such territorial
board should exercise a monopoly OF
this class Of insurance, but that il
should serve rather as a check upon
the Independent companies.
Various other recommendations are
also to be made in the report soon to
go forward TO the Governor. Among
these clearer definition of laborer
entitled to compensation, should be
given in order to avoid disputes. The
fact that the $50 allowed by law for
surgical and hospital expense is often
entirely inadequate, as shown by eX-
perience, will call for recommendation
accordingly.
Oppose Lump Settlements
The application of an insurance
company to be allowed to settle a
claim for the death of a husband and
father on a basis of seventy-five per-
cent of the amount if paid through the
six-year period prescribed by the law,
was turned down by. the\ board. The
Case was one of those resulting from
the railroad wreck on the Kaeleku
Sugar Company plantation at Ina,
last June. The board held that where
children were shares in the'compensa-
ton that unless good reasons were
shown for other action, lump sum
settlements should not be permitted.
All of the members of the board
were present at the meeting except
George Weight. The others were
w. A. Mckay, chairman, VIII. j. Coop
er. George Freeland, and w. H. Field
Mr.. Freeland, who was appointed to
succeed w. L. Decoto, resigned, at
tended for the first time.
