Racing Association
Seeks To Join Fair
Committee Named To Try TO Effect
Consolidation On Kahului Grounds
Officers Reelected

Shall the Maui county fair be con-
solidated with the Maui Racing Asso-
ciaiton? The racing association pro-
pounded this query at it's annual
meeting held last Friday night, and
answered it in the affirmative.
Furthermore the racing association
appointed a committee, consisting of
j. j. Walsh, II. D. Penhallow and DR..
]. G. Fitzgerald, to confer with the
fair committee with view to arrang-
ing such consolidation. The race
committee was instructed to arrange
with the fair people to hold their fut-
ure fairs in Kahului and in connection
with the annual races of the associa-
tion
Will Hold Ball As Usual
The executive committee was in
structed to make plans for holding
the annual racing association ball as
usual. The date of this event was not
set, but it will occur shortly after
Easter, which falls this year on the
April. 8.
Owing to the fact that L. Won Temps
ky will be away on the mainland
most of this year, he was not re-elect-
ed to place on the directorate, w.
l.. West being elected in his place.
Otherwise the same officers were ell
ected as of last year, as follows: c.
D. Lufkin, president; d. H. Case, vice
president; w. F. Crockett, secretary
treasurer; A. McPhee, H. G. Field, and
w. L. West, executive committee.

court on Monday of stealing pineapples
belonging to the Haiku Ranch. T. w.

fined $50 by District Magistrate J. G..
Anjo. Ferguson was represented by
Attorney Eugene Murphy, who neted
an appeal to the circuit court.
Witness for the prosecution testi-
fed to having driven nails into lot of
pineapples in a sack, which they claim
ed had been stolen from the ranch
company's fields and hidden in a field
OF an adjoining place. This fruit
was later delivered to the cannery by
Ferguson. The defendant claimed
that the pines were his own, and had
been left in the field for some days

Reform School Bows
Will See Carnival
Released For Week On Their Honor
Boy Scouts WillLeOk After Those
Who Have No Homes In City

HONOLULU, Jan. 24-Boys from
Maui and Molokai who are now in
mates of the Boys Industrial School
on Oahu are to be released on their
honor during the week of the Carni-
val in Honolulu from February 10 to
February "a, according to the plans Of
Frederick Anderson, the school sup
intendent. The boys from this island
have not been particularly picked out
for this favor, as practically every
boy in the school is to be given the
same privilege.
But it was the problem of housing
and feeding the boys from Hawaii,
Maui, Molokai and Kauai that present
ed the first difficulty, when the school
superintendent decided to make the
experiment of releasing the boys for
the week. 1t was easy enough to find
quarters for the boys whose parents
live in Honolulu, as they are to be
permitted to spend the night at their
homes, but there was no such easy
solution regarding the boys from the
outside islands, who number about
seventy in the school.
Superintendent Anderson discussed
the matter with Alexander Hume Ford
who is anxious to have the aid and CO.
operation of the boys for the Pan
Pacific parade on the opening day of
the Carnival, Ford Immediately sug-
gested a solution which has met with
the approval of the school authorities.
The boys are to be housed in the quart
ers of the Honolulu Boy Scouts and in
the Y. NJ. c. A.
The Trail and Mountain Club of
Honolulu will supply mattresses and
cots for the boys who sleep in the Boy
Scouts quarters, which will accomo-
date about thirty. The other forty
boys will sleep on the gymnasium mats
in the Y. NJ. c. A. Food will be sup

Changes In Banks
Caused By New Law
Three Assistants Now Full Cashiers
&C. H. Cooke Retains interests
But Cannot Be On Directorate

On account of the federal law again
st "inter-locling directorates," which
went into effect last November. under
which director in a corporation of
$5,0O0,000 or more capital may not sit
on boards of national banks, Clarence
H. Cooke. president of the Bank of
Hawaii, no longer holds the place of
president of the three Maui banks in
which he is financially interested. In
fact he has not held these positions
since the law went into effect, but
this was not generally known until
the annual election of officers which
took place last Saturday. Mr.. Cooke,
however still retains his interest in
the local banks as heretofore, though
his name no longer appears in con-
nection with them.
A number of changes have results
in the bank personnels on this ac-
count. G. d. Lufkin, who has here
tofore been cashier of the First Nat
ional Bank of WailulIu, the First Nat
ional Bank of Paia, and the Lahaina
National Bank, becomes vice-president
and manager of each of the institu-
tions. r. A. Wadsworth takes Mr..
Cookies place as president. J. Garcia,
has been promoted from assistant
cashier to cashier of the Wailuku
bank, Frank A. Lufkin, teller, succeed
ing him. f. N. Lufllin becomes a
director of this bank.
f. N. Lufllin alos becomes cashier
instead of assistant cashier of the
Lahaina bank, while ]. Garcia is a
director. In like manner w. o. Aiken
becomes cashier of the Paia bank, of
which Mr. Garcia is also a director.

Choral Club Makes
Pinafore A Success
Jolly Old Opera Draws Full House
And Delights Everybody = Best
Work Yet Done By Organization

Some 40 years ago audiences began
laughing at the broad burlesque ana
keen satire of the jolly crew and
guests of the good ship Pinafore.
They have kept it up pretty steadily
ever since, bat it is doubtful If the
old favorite ever ELECTED more unadul-
terated joy than it did last Saturday
night at the Paia Community House.
On this particular occasion the gal
liant craft was named by company
recruited from the able members OF
the Maui Choral Club. And what
may have lacked in nautical know
ledge didn't interfere whit with the
voyage, for the between 800 and 4OO
Maui folk who braved a kona down
pour to make the trip enjoyed every
minute of it to the utmost.
Pinafore is the third opera which
the Choral Club has attempted, and
in the opinion of many it was the best
Certain it is that the amateurs have
profited by their former stage expert
ence, and entered into their work with
a confidence that insured smooth
finished production.
Parts Well Taken
The parts were especially well hand
led under the able direction of H. w.
Baldwin, who has been largely respon'
sible for the success and rapid pro
gress which the Choral Club has made
Besides his posts as director ana stage
manager Mr.. Baldwin took the part
of Capt. Corcoran", and he made as
big a success in his acting as he did
in his singing of the various important
solo parts.
Sharing honors with Mr.. Baldwin
were Mrs. H. A. Baldwin, Mrs. Louise
c. Jones, H. d. Sloggett, and David
Rattray Mrs. Baldwin took the part
of Little Buttercup," and she did il
