HULA Beans Will
Be But Half Crop
Good Prices May Offset Misfortune
Potatoes Also Almost Failure Ac-
count OF Blight = Small Corn
Planting Looks Well

The Kula bean crop will not be
more than half as large as was ex-
pected on account of unfavorable
weather. This is the report of George
Copp, who was in Wailuku this week
on business. Scarcity of seed prevents
a replanting at the present time,
though it is probable that fall crop
much larger than usual will be put
in.
From the fact that the acreage in
beans is greater than usual, and be-
cause of the high price which the Ku-
la bean is likely to command this
year, it is probable that the poor crop
will bring in more than the usual
amount of money to the district.
The white potato crop is also al
most failure, owing to the blight,
Mr.. Copp says, but corn is looking
fine. However the planting of this
last staple are not heavy, farmers hav-
ing concentrated their efforts on beans
last spring.
Reports from other sources are that
the corn crop, as well as other crops
in upper Kula has been almost ruined
by the unusually heavy and frequent
rains of the past two months.

Assault Cases Point
To Chinese Tong Row

Yok Sung, of Molokai, and All Ka,
of Kahului We're fined$30 each in the
Wailuku district court, of Tuesday on
conviction of assault and battery on
Ho Sing, a Wailuku merchant. The
defendants have appealed the case,
which has all the earmarks of a
Chinese tong war.
Ho Sing reported to the police some
time ago that he had information that
hired thugs of rival tong would at
tack him, and last Monday, on Main
street, in broad daylight it materializ-
ed. He was pretty severely beaten by
the two men. whom he claims were
strangers to him.
Ho himself was fined a few weeks
ago for being mixed up in an assault
on another Pake named Wong Young.
This was the elimination of a dispute
over water rights, and Wong was
very badly battered by four of five
men of whom Ho was alleged to be
one.

Officers OF Eight
Companies Dropped
Reorganization OF National Guard
Calls For But One Battlion For
Maui-0ficerS Named For New
Companies

At a meeting of the officers of the
national guard, held last Monday
night, details of the reorganization
plans were outlined by Col. Frank
Baldwin and Capt. Harbold, U. S. A.
By the new arrangement, Maui will
have but battalion of companies
of infantry, instead of her former regi-
mental status of a regiment of IL
companies, machine gun company,
hospital and signal corps, etc. Each
of the other counties except Honolulu
will have but single battalion. The
capital will have full regiment.
Many Officers Out
The new arrangement compels the
dropping of many officers, including
Col. Baldwin and the regimental staff.
1t is just possible, it was stated, that
1t Col. d. G. Lindsay will continue
to hold that position in the new regi-
ment, which is to be commanded by
Col. Jack Easton, of Hilo. 1t is more
likely, however, that he will be major
of the local battalion. In case he
should be second in command, Major
Huffman Young, of Lahaina, will be
major Otherwise Young drops back
to captain of the new Lahaina COM
pany.
officers Announced
The four companies for Maui are to
be located at Lahaina, Wailuku, Puu-
meme, and Paia and the officers are
announced as follows:
Lahaina-Capt., W. X. Kaluahni;
1st lieut., F. A Cloves; End lieut., HUI
go Bruss. In case Young takes the
captaincy, the other officers will drop
down in rank, Bruss dropping out.
Wailubu-Capt., Frank A. Lufkin;
1st lieut., John Kaneholo; End lieut.,
j. II. Waiwaiole.
Puunene-Capt., A. c. Belts; 1st

No c. {. Convention
Due Food Shortage
Hawaiian Board POstpOnes Big An
nual Event Indefinitely Evangel-
ical Association Meeting To Be
Shortened

Word was received few days ago
by Rev. r. B. Dodge, agent for the
Hawaiian Board, that through the advic
Hawaiian Board, that through the ad-
vice of the executive council of the
Board the annual meetings of the Sun
day school and Christian Endeavor AS
sociation had been postponed. The
difficulty of feeding such a large dele
cation in Honolulu during war times
because of the scarcity of food, made
the changes in plans a necessity.
The annual meeting of the Haw-
aian Evangelical association will be
held as usual. The time will be short
ened from eight days to four. Dele
gates from Maui churches are limit
ed to the pastor and one delegate
from each church. They will be eX-
pected to leave Maui either Saturday,
June 23rd, or Monday June 25, in or
der to reach Honolulu by June 26th,
the opening day of the session. The
meetings will close June Goth.

Forced To Rob Jail
To Keep From Starving

Because he couldn't earn enough to
feed himself as a laborer for the Ka-
hului Railroad Company, Manch Bak-
er was forced to rob the Wailuku
Jail of its poi supply to keep from
starving to death.
At least this is the story the Porto
Rican told the police after he had been
captured red handed on Wednesday
night as he was trying to make his
escape from the jail yard with his
plunder. He is now once more a re-
gular border of the county and it is
unlikely that the high cost of living
will trouble him for some months.
Manch essayed to be bank robber
a little over year ago when he climb
ed into the back window of the Wal
luku bank and tried to pick the burg
laI-proof vault open. For that he spent
a year in the local bastile and was
given his liberty only a month or so
ago. Although he has been working
steadily, and sports some extremely
glad raiment on Sundays, still he main
tains that hunger drove him to scale
the Jail wall night after night for the
purpose of looting the county poi bowl.
He would probably be doing it yet,
despite the fact that the disappear
ance of the poi was becoming a sore
mystery to the Jail officials, had not
"hop-head" Chinese prisoner, suf-
fering from insomnia, spied the jail
robber shining it over the wall and
given the alarm,

Grand Hotel Now In
Hands OF Receiver
Manager Macdonald To Conduct BuSi-
ness Until Sale OF Property,
July Ia - InSiStenCe OF Maui
Land Creditor Brought Foreclosure

Through a suit in equity brought in
the second circuit court on Monday of
this week by c. ID. Lufldn, trustee,
mortgages aggregating $4,000 against
the Grand Hotel Company, Limited, of
Wailuku are to be foreclosed. In this
same connection Judge Edings grant
ed the petition of the plaintiffs for a
receiver, and named Fred X. Mac
Donald to that position. Macdonald,
who has been manager of the hotel
since it was first opened about the first
of the year, will continue to keep the
hotel running under orders of the
court until the foreclosure has been
completed. ~
Date OF Sale Set
Yesterday morning Judge Edings,
after the defendant hotel company had
confessed judgment in the case, NAM
ed E. r. Bevins as commissioner to
sell the property, and directed that
same be advertised and sold on Satur-
day, July IA. \
Sheriff Enjoined 20
Judge Edings also issued an injunc-
ton against the high sheriff or his
deputies, restraining them from re-
moving the property of the hotel COM
pany, or in other manner interfering
with the duties of the receiver
This restraining order has held up
an attachment granted at law by the
first circuit court in favor of Leon
Straus & Company, of San Francisco,
for claim of $10S1. County Sheriff
Crowell had been instructed to remove
sufficient property from the hotel to
cover the claim, and to lock it up.
Under the equity proceeding the hotel
will continue to be operated under the
receivership until the property is sold
under the foreclosure.
War Hurt New HosteIry
In spite of the fact that the new
Grand Motel has felt the effects of the
war through the falling off of the
tourist business, as have all other Is
land hotels, the directors of the COM
pany claim that it is more than paying
expenses and could ultimately have
cleared off its obligations had not the
San Francisco house forced the issue.

Japanese Husband
Tries To Kill Wife
Timely Arrival Of Korean Saves
WOman'S Life WOman'S Love For
Easy Life Cause Of Tragedy Man
Says

Because he believed his wife un-
faithful, Nakamura Relic, a Japanese
employee of the Uchida garage, on
Market street, Wailullu, made a des-
perate attempt to kill her about $50
o'clock last night, and was only pre-
vented from earring out his intention
by the timely arrival of assistance.
AS was the woman is in the Malulani
hospital, her head and face badly
slashed, and both hands cut from her
efforts to wrest the long meat knife
from her infuriated spouse. She will
recover but her beauty will likely be
spoiled.
Nakamura may also lose the use of
his right hand on account of the
handle of the knife breaking and his
hand slipping along the blade. The
tendons of the hand are cut. He is
in Jail.
Kun Chick Su, a Korean roomer in
the Market street house where the
cutting occurred, is responsible for
saving the woman's life. He heard
her crying, and on learning the state
OF affairs promptly grappled with the
husband and ended the bloody strug-
gle.
Came From Haiku
Nakamura admits his intention to
kill the woman. He says he made
her confess to improper relations
with another Japanese, and that she
had defied him. His troubles began,
he says when he left the country some
siX months ago, where he had worked
for Z years for George Lindsay, on a
homestead near Haiku. He was
married about Is months ago, but his
wife didn't like country life and
wouldn't work out of doors, and final
ly they came to Wailuku. He work
ed for several months for the Maui
Soda e Ice Works, but for the past
month has been working for Uchida.
1t was over Uchida's place that the
attempted murder occurred.

Capt. Lyons Tells
Of Sinking OF Ship
Letter To Maui Friends s-TellS Vivid
Story OF TOrpedOing Of MiSSOurian
In War ZOne-Crew Had Narrow
Escape From Shells

The fact that Capt. William Lyons
and his crew escaped with their lives
when the American-Hawaiian ship
Missourian was torpedoed in the Me-
diterranean, little over month ago,
was announced through official sour
ces at the time, but the exciting de-
tails of the ships sinking are just be-
ing told through personal letters from
the popular captain, which have re-
Gently been received in the Islands.
Miss Irene Aiken of Kahului, received
one of these letters by the last mail
which will be read with much interest
by the popular shippers many Maui
friends. The letter is as follows:
written on board the 'Rochambean'
At sea, May 8, 1917.
"Well, the good old Missourian will
never be seen in Kahului again, for
the contemplate German vipers sank
her on April 4, sixty miles from Ge-
noa. We had just landed over $4,000
900 of cargo and were returning to
Boston for another load. We had sail
ed four and three-fourths hours when
they fired torpedo at us. We could
not see anything of the submarine,
and the first notice was the track of
the torpedo. The second officer who
was on the bridge saw it coming and
quickly changed the course so the tor
pedo just missed us.
"The submarine then emerged and
commenced to shell us and kept it up
all the time we were getting in the
boats and until We got away from the
ship. One of our boats that we lower
ed and did not use had three shot
holes in her bow One shot went
through the smokestack, one through
the Chief Engineers room and one
through my room before we left the
ship, and several struck the ship in
other places. After we got away they
went on the port side and fired about
one dozen shots in the ship then re
turned to the starboard side and put
a torpedo into her and twenty-seven
minutes afterwards the ship went
down with her flag flying. She settled
slowly by the stern and before she
went down she was in perpendicular
position. About a hundred and fifty
feet of her stood right up in the air.

Railroad Cut Off Will
Be Big Improvement

The excavation at Camp 1 for the
new cutoff for the Kahului Railroad,
has almost reached the government
road, several hundred yards mauka of
the Camp / store. The track will
cross under the road in a cut some Is
OF 20 feet deep. The cutoff will
shorten the distance to Paia, will ELI
inmate the inconvenient switch-back
at Camp l, and will also cut out the
dangerous grade crossing east of Camp

Big Hail Storm Does
Damage To HULA Crop

One of the heaviest hail storms in
the history of Maui is reported from
sections of Kula on Wednesday of this
week. The storm was particularly
severe about Waiakoa and Kealahua
where growing crops and trees are
said to have been almost stripped of
their leaves. The heavy rain which
accompanied the storm. also washed
out crops and did considerable damage
in a number of places. The county
road suffered injury at number of
points.

FIVE ALLEGED Thieves
Three Charged with Grand Larceny;

The rounding up yesterday of five
alleged thieves will put a stop to

BLAME RETAILERS
FOR COST OF MEAT
Live Stock Producers Urge Munici-
pal Markets as Best Remedy.

Municipal markets are recommend
ed as the best means of reducing the
price Of meat, In a report made to
the Food Administration yesterday
by committee representing the live
stock producers Of the country. The
report states that the greatest ex-
pense in meat handling occurs with
the retailer. and the best place to ef-
feet a savings is in the final sale to
the consumer.
The live stock committee has been
meeting here for several days and
has formulated a number of recon-
mendations. mostly dealing with dis
tribution OF live stock, with a state
ment as to the best means OF shift
ing cattle and hogs and sheep from
poor grazing lands to other sections
where grazing is abundant; with the
best methods OF conserving feed. and
suggestions as to the conservation of
breeding animals and preventing their
sale in the open markets.
Licensing Of meat dealers also has
been discussed and Il is understood
some recommendations were made on
this score. but the Food Administra-
ton withheld information on this
phase Of the situation, pending a fur
ther investigation.
