Big Island Wants Home
For Girls Who Need II

Hilo, February 17-Following a
busy session of the Juvenile Court
this morning Judge G. X. Quinn spoke
emphatically in support of a PROPOSE
tion that the Hilo Boarding School es-
tablish an annex for the education of
girls. Judge Quinn stated that this
was one of the necessities which Hi
10 will sometime have to face, not, he
said, an industrial school. but one
where a girl will have at least some
thing of the same chance along pra-
tical lines in education that the boys
of the Territory now have here at
this splendid school.
Judge Quinn has already taken up
the matter with Mrs. Levi Lyman who
was once a teacher in the Kameha-
meha Girls School, in Honolulu, and
has also had wide experience in the
Hilo Boarding School. He made the
suggestion for the girls annex and
Mrs. Lyman is reported to have been
much impressed with the idea and will
be one of the advocates of such an ad-
dition to the educational facilities for
girls here.
1t is probably that the Board of
Trade of Hilo will take up the matter
and it is possible that some action will
be taken by it's legislative committee
in seeking at least partial support in
this matter.

Mondays Meeting May
Decide About Next Fair

Whether or not Maui will hold a
county fair again next fall, is a mat
ter that will probably be definitely
determined next Monday afternoon.
Notices of the meeting to be held at
the Wailuku Town Hall, at two o.
clock were sent out this week to
members of the general committee of
the last Fair, which is in process of
closing up it's work. A general invi-
tation is also extended to the Maui
public to attend the meeting.
At the meeting it was pretty defin-
tely decided to hold fair in 1917. de-
spite the fact that many business men
who had borne the brunt of the last
fair felt that 1t should be deferred till
1918. Since then, however, the lead
ers among the livestock raisers, who
had been most insistent that no post
ponement be considered, have chang
ed their minds, and it is understood
will now recommend that Maui throw
her energy towards helping make the
proposed territorial fair, to be held in
Honolulu, big success.

Propose Part-Time
Apprentice Schools
Alexander House Settlement Hopes
Legislature May Act On Matter
Employers Ready To Cooperate

Deciding to postpone action until
after the legislature has had chance
to consider the matter the directors
of the Alexander House Settlement,
at meeting held last Friday, dispos-
ed of a proposition of Head Worker
l.. r. Mathews for the establishm mt
of trade school in connection tn
the institution. There was much in
terest manifested in the matter, how
ever, and if nothing is done by the
Legislature towards having this need
handled by the public school depart
ment, it is entirely probable that it
will be again taken up by the Settle
ment.
Mr.. Mathews idea is for a part-time
school for boys who are learning
trades. He had already found a will
ingness on the part of many business
concerns to cooperate with such a
school, he stated The directors were
generally favorable to the suggestion,
but believe that the department of
public instruction should meet the
need through its present organization
of the public schools.
Mr.. Mathews stated that in Honolu-
lu the Y. M. c. A. has for year or
more been conducting a school for
apprentices on half-time basis, the
boys working in their various shops
and studying in the school in relays.
The school work is made extremely
practical, but aims to start boy in
such way that he will be able to make
the most of himself in his chosen oc-
cupation. The Y. M. G. A, however,
does not believe it should do this
work, it was stated, but does believe
that the public school system should
be broadened to include it.

Auto Thieves Tried To
Run Car Over Sea Cliff

Hilo, Feb. 19-With the intention of
winding up their joy ride by driving
the stolen automobile over pail in
to the sea, five young men of Kona,
last Wednesday, were forced to aban,
don their attempt because the mach
inc became stalled near the edge of
the cliff, where it was deserted.
The car was stolen from the gar
age, where it was kept, by five young
men, four of them Hawaiians and one
Filipino. The car was the property
of Okomoto, Japanese, who used it
in the rent business in West Hawaii,
with headquarters at Holualoa.
When the automobile was missed
the police under Sheriff Sam Pua,
quickly rounded up four Of the alleged
auto bandits, all of them Hawaiians,
and they are now in the Kailua Jail.
They are Kaale, Amina, Kolio and
George Kaae. They are being held
for the grand jury under charges of
burglary in the first degree.

Edings Refuses TO
Have Case ReOpened
Court Finds KealOkaa Knew Facts
When Suit Was Settled-Will Ap-
peal To Supreme Court

After hearing testimony on the petit
tio1f to reopen the case of j. w. Amb-
rose VS.. Kealokaa. Judge Edings last
Saturday denied the motion. E. Z;
Bevins, attorney for Kealokaa, noted
exceptions and states his intention OF
carrying the case to the supreme
court.
The case is the one settled by agree
ment out of court, and which the de-
fendant now claims was settled by
Eugene Murphy, his then attorney,
without his knowledge of the true
facts in the matter. w. o. Smith,
witness in the case on Saturday, who
had had part in the settlement, the
Bishop Estate being interested in the
matter, testified that Kealokaa was
informed of the basis of settlement,
and had agreed to it at the time.

JOy-RideS Cause
Youths Downfall
EmbezzleS And FORCES In Effort To
Keep Up Rapid Pace-Let Off
With Fine But Can't Raise II

Ernest G. Hammer, book-keeper for
the past year of the Hugh Howell
Engineering Company, pleaded guilty
in the Wailuku District court on We'd
nesday, of embezzlement of $96.5O. He
was fined s125, which he was unable
to raise, and as consequence he is
serving time in the county Jail. Ham
mer cashed check of the Maui Agri-
cultural Company to his employers
and appropriated the proceeds to his
own use, and it was on this charge
that he was arrested last Saturday.
Besides this, however, he is said to
have taken between $500 and $400
more by juggling the Company's pay
roll and by forging workmen's names
to pay checks. He was able to make
good all but about 5000 by surrender
ing some stock which he had purchas-
ed and an automobile which he had
bought on installments of $50 per
month.
1t is possible that he will be tried
on charge Of forgery. The forged
checks to aggregate of nearly 5000,
were cashed by the Pioneer Store.
Hammer is about twenty-five years
of age, and is German subject. He
was a soldier in the cavalry branch
of the U. S. army, but bought his dis
charge. He was an employee of Hack
field & Company before coming to
Maui. Inability to spread his $75
salary to cover s45 board, $50 auto
mobile installments, joy-rides, good
clothes, etc.. were the cause of his
present pilikias. When the bold at
tempt caused comment some time ago.
he explained that he had received a
legacy.

Plan For New High School
Abandoned For Present

That the building of a new high
school building from privately sub
scribed funds, has been abandoned or
at least indefinitely deferred, is in
dicated by the call for tenders made
this week for the construction of a
new three-room teachers cottage for
the government school at Hamakua-
poko The building of this cottage had
been abandoned because it was ex-
pected that the present high school
building would be used for the purp-
ose.
1t is stated that the supervisors at
their last meeting, were informed that
the proposed donation of new high
school building cannot now be depend
ed upon. Hence the call for bids for
the teachers cottage which has long
been badly needed.
