Weber Now Held AS
Dangerous Person
Poison Bottle Did Not Contain An
thrax GermS-0biect Of Visit To
HilO Still Mystery-Why He Was
Suspected Also Not Known

Max Weber, the time-keeper of the
Pioneer Mill Company, who was ar
rested last week as he was leaving
the Mauna Kea at Hilo, is now in
Honolulu where he was taken by the
United States authorities. He is now
in prison and it is stated that he will
probably be held there indefinitely as
a precautionary move.
Sensational statements wirelessed
to the other Islands to effect that
Weber had a bottle of anthrax cul-
ture in his possession were not gene
rally credited. The bottle labeled
poison" taken from him was tested
microscopically as a precaution but
was found not to contain anthrax. 1t
is believed to be remedy for a GER
tain disease.
Little importance is attached to the
fact that Weber had a number of Ger
man war bonds in his possession The
few cartridges in his baggage are also
not explained, but are not taken as
especially significant.
Just what grounds caused Weber's
arrest have not come to light, though
1t is stated that he is to be held as
person dangerous to the public peace
and safety. Nor has the object of
Weber's two trips to Hawaii been
learned. 1t is reported that he pro
badly will not be permitted to go to
plantation camp for detention as has
been done with other German sub
jects
Weber is reported to have been on
Hawaii some weeks ago when his
movements We're noted as mysterious.
At that time, he was traced to the
Glenwood experimental station where
he disappeared for several days, dur
ing which time he cannot he account
ed for. 1t is further stated that when
he landed in Hilo, Weber is said to
have been badly upset and to have
wept bitterly when arrested. The
wireless statement that he was a
friend of Martin Grune, the former
national guard officer who resigned
because he would not fight against
Germany, has proved to be incorrect.

Sister OF Maui Woman
On Way To Battle Front

Miss Mabel Wilcox, a sister of Mrs.
H. d. Slogget, who left Honolulu on
the Wilhelmina this week on her way
to Baltimore where she will join the
Johns-Hopkins hospital unit of the
Red Cross which will leave shortly
for service in France, has been the
recipient of much commendation. The
Star-Bulletin has the following ac-
count of her decision:
Miss Mabel Wilcox, Kauai's first
native daughter to start for the front
leaves this afternoon on the Wilhel-
nina bound for France with the Red
Cross forces of the country.
Miss Wilcox is a trained nurse of
the best education and experience.
She was graduated from John Hopkins
university and is going to the front
with members of her class. When
she returned to the islands she went
to work at her old home serving as
district nurse for the island of Kauai.
She has been of the greatest communi-
ty value in this work. But when the
call for France came and she heard
of her classmates going forward, she
could not resist.
Miss Wilcox is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. S. w. Wilcox. The esteem
in which she is held on Kauai is best
expressed by one prominent citizen in
the comment, she's a brick"

Red Cross Entainment
Proves Pleasing Success

The Red Cross entertainment at the
Paia Community House last Saturday
night was a success in every way. The
hall was we'll filled and a good sum
was realized for the war charity.
The one act play The Bracelet" ="
was exceedingly we'll handled by the
cast of amateurs, and formed the chief
feature of the evening. The leading
roles were especially well taken by
Mrs. r. P. Harbold, Mrs. G. S. Aiken,
Miss Violet Searby, Miss Oriet Robin
son, Messrs. Ralph Walker, Allan Par
malice, Kenneth Smith, and David
Rattray.
Mrs. Helen Mar Linton's reading of
the Lost Silk Hat, by Lord Dunsany,
was much appreciated, as was also the
fancy dancing by Mrs. Harbold and
Mr.. Snyder.
The recitation by Master Norris
Brown Harbold, "The Flag Goes By"
was a good number and the closing
national anthem sung by the audience,
was augmented most pleasingly by
Mrs. Harbold, fiag-draped as Columbia.

Kipahulu Becoming
AnInternmentCamp
German Citizens Being Released From
Jail But Required To Work On
Isolated Plantation-Will Be Paid
For Labor

Karl Woessler, the German citizen
arrested at the Occidental Hotel, ho-
nolulu, for not having registered as an
alien enemy, is to be released from
iail but will be interned at the XII
pahulu plantation, East Maui, until
the end of the war. A number of other
German subjects are already interned
there, where their labor is welcomed
owing to scarity of other nationalities
for the fields.
I'VE found that men were badly
needed at Kipahulu plantation" said
Marshal Smiddy "and as the law pro-
vides that prisoners of war and intern
ed civilians of an alien enemy be put
to work under certain conditions, we
have decided to send these men to
Maui They will be kept busy at work
for which they are fitted. If they can
do nothing but WELD a hoe then they
will swing a hoe until the war is over.
They will, of course, be paid for their
work.

Stork Company To
Still Do Business
F. P. ROSecrans Says Nothing Crooked
- Hall And COrell Had Hard Luck
But Stick TO Contract Expect To
Get New Start Soon

"The Stork Company is a long way
from being dead. 1t has had to meet
some unexpected set-backs, but these
have about been overcome and the
business will be pushed The board
of directors has just held a meeting
at which | made a report of my invest
igations while on the mainland. There
is nothing in most of the wild rumors
current about the affairs of the COM
pany."
This was in brief the statement of
+. =. Rosecrans, manager of Paia
Store, and one of the directors of the
Stork System of Savings & Supply
Company, Limited, who returned last
Friday from a trip to the mainland
during which he went into the affairs
of the Stork company and its antece-
dents very thoroughly.
Proctor Jumped His Contract
It has been currently known on Maui
for some months that the affairs of
the company had been badly shaken
by the withdrawal of II. f. Proctor,
chief promoter of the company. who
with c. B. Hall and ]. j. Corell had
entered into a contract to push the
business on the mainland for a period
of years on a fifty-fifty or even divi-

Draft Registration
Is Cheerfully Made
Two Thirds On Maui Claim Exemption
But 1888 Have No Excuse Against
Serving In Army st. Anthony
Boys Help Board Complete Records

Out of a total of between $4,000 and
26,000 names registered last Tuesday
in the Territory, Maui furnished 3677
This includes men of every nation
ality between the ages of 21 and 81
years, as called for by the selective
draft law. But out of this 3677 all
but 1861 are aliens and not subject to
the draft. And out of the 1851 citizens
registered. all but $685. or almost two
thirds, are listed as claiming eSemp-
ton for one reason or another. The
chief reason for exemptions is de-
pendent relatives.
II is reported that the total citizen
registration for the territory will run
about S000 which at Maui's ratio OF
claimed exemption will leave but
about $500 eligible for the draft.
Exemption Claims May Fall
In view of the fact that the Wash
ington authorities in charge of the
draft have ordered very careful scru-
tiny of all exemption claims, however,
it is quite possible that Hawaii's S
eligible list may be considerably aug
mented over the present apparent
showing. The mere fact, for instance,
that a man has wife does not neces-
sarily mean he is exempt, because all
wives are not dependent for support
upon the husband.

Maui Portuguese
Are Not SlackerS
Report From Honolulu Is Denied By
Local Registration Board Belief
That Few Of Any Race On Maui
Deliberately Evaded Registration

The report sent out by the
wireless from Honolulu yester-
day afternoon to effect that
many Portuguese of Maui had
refused to register on Tuesday
is denied by the Maui registra-
ton board.
mo such report was made by
this board" declared Sheriff
Crowell when the matter was
called to his attention. "It is
possible that there may be a few
Portuguese that did not register
who should have done so, but
we have knowledge of very few
certainly not enough to give
any grounds fer such report"
Dr.. Osmers, another member
of the board was emphatic in
declaring the report to be with
out reasonable grounds.
Some of the Portuguese in Ku-
la and upper Makawao are said
to have been considerably per-
turbed over the registration
through the idea that was spread
in those communities that re-
gistering was the same as enlist
ing or being drafted for service,
but the mp ession is very gen
eral among people that should
know that there Were not NAM
slacker8 for all thai.

DANISH SCROFULA
Hoods SarsapariIIa cIeanses the
Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face
and body are both annoying and
disfguring. The complexion would
be perfect if they were not present.!
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as lunches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting of
the muscles, a form Of dyspepsia,
and general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hood s
Sarsaparilla. This great medicine
completely eradicates scrofula. 1t
puiiies and enriches the blood, re-
moves humors, and builds up the
whole system.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are
quite free from it. Get Hood S Sar-

rtKTNsoN HAS 2520 CARS,
MOST IN FIFTH DISTRICT

The Fifth congressional district
has a little more than its share OF
the motor cars, according to com
pilation today in the office of J. I.
Botkin, secretary of state. The to-
tai number of car licenses in his
office at noon today is 1868, or
which the Fifth district counties
have contributed 1916. The ten
counties in the Fifth comprise ap-
proximately twelve per cent OF the
population of the state, and own ap-
proximately fifteen per cent OF the
motor cars.
Sedgwick county has a big lead
over every other county in the state,
with 6026 cars registered. Reno is
second with 1919.
Botkin's records show that in
four years the number OF motor
cars in the state has more than
trebled, having increased from 34'-
947 in January, 1913, to 12l, 67S

ARREST YOUTH WANTED FOR
HARDWARE STORE ROBBERY

After a search lasting more than
a year Paul Buchanan. 10 years old,
was arrested by Sheriff Sherman to-
day for completely in the robbery OF
the Shockey G. Landes hardware
store in November. 1915. Buchanan,
with three other boys took some
guns and flashlights and number
of watches from the store. All but
Buchanan we're arrested and after
pleading guilty were paroled. Buch-
anan escaped and went to Nebraska
where he remained for two months.
He claims he has been here since last
January. The officers were notified
of his presence here by one of his
companions in the theft and found
him in junk shop on Buckeye
City officers have known of Buch-
anan's presence here for some time
but had no chance to arrest him as
no warrant had been issued. Buch-
anan claims that Sheriff Hassler at
tempted to arrest him several times
Tut was always eluded.
1t is probable that the young man
elll be tried before justice of the
oeace and paroled as were his con
federates.
