private warfare were the order Of
the day. There was no law or Jus

AT last, in 1878. the mobiles decided
that an emperor must be found to
bring some order out OF this chaos,
and Rudolph, Count Of Hapsburg. was
brought from his home in Switzerland
and put upon the throne. The first
act OF this first imperial Hapsburg
was to attack and defeat the king of
Bohemia, and gain possession of the
Austrian territories, which the Haps.

But clear down to 1906 the Haps

est opportunities and their greatest
perils. The peace, order, and develop
ment Of the land of Germany was neg.
lected, in order that the Roman dream
OF world empire might be attained.
In the long centuries following the
advent of the Hapsburg to the Ger
man empire there was most constant
warfare in the German reign, among
the mobiles, between the German EN-.
perors and their revolving subjects
abroad, and finally between the Pro-
tcstant and Catholic parties.
All this strife and bloodshed cul.

perod of the Thirty Years War. This
confused struggle began in 1918 and
ended in 1913, only after France, Den
mark and Sweden had all been drawn
in, mixing confusedly political and re-
ligious issues.

FROM HIGHFLUME
TO HIS DEATH

A Filipino (name unknown at this
writing) fell from the flume at Koheo
GulCh on the Kipahulu plantation last
Saturday, into the stream 200 feet
below, and is dead.
The body was found Monday morn

due to striking upon rock in the bed
of the stream.
A coroners jury was empanelled
and has returned a verdict according
to the facts as stated above.
At the time of the accident homo
homo (weeds) were being flumed from
the fields. The fame runs across the
gulch and the Filipino was stationed
there to dump the weeds as they came
along. He was standing on narrow
bridge-work, the planking of which
gave way and he went down. Had ID
not been for the water the body OF
the unfortunate man would have been
badly crushed.

Water Troubles
Lead To Court
First A Fine In Court Then A Suit
For Damages In A Large Sum,
Next A Fight And Counter Arrest
For Assault Battery

Last week, in Wailuku, one John
Frietas was arrested on a charge of
assault and battery on Mrs. Sardinia,
an old woman, and in the district court
was fined $50 and costs. That was
the first chapter.
On Friday Mrs. Sardinia brought
suit against Frietas for damages in
the sum of $4,000, claiming to have
been injured to that extent by the
assaults of the accused The second
chapter.
Tuesday night another state of war
was reached in the Frietas-Sardinha
neighborhood, during which Frietas is
said to have retired from the battle
field considerably worn. At a late
hour he is alleged to have aroused
several policean other county officials
from their respective slumbers to
show them an ugly cut on his head
which he said had been made by a
rock-and that Mrs. Sardinia threw
the rock. Chapter three.
On wednesday Frietas had Mrs. Sar-
dinha arrested and charged with as
sault and battery. The case came on
in the police court Thursday morning,
but was set over to next Thursday.
Fourth chapter.
Judge Wm A. Mckay will supply
the fifth chapter, on the date above
mentioned.
1t is stated that the troubles between
Frietas and Mrs. Sardinia have result
ed directly from the dry weather.
They are neighbors, and question of
rights to water started the racket. Had
the weather man remained ION the
job" during the summer months there
would doubtless have been peace and
happiness where now are to be found
only bitterness and lawsuits.

Territorial Fair
About Next June

While in Honolulu, Harold Rice,
fair commissioner for the island of
Maui, met the commissioners from the
other islands. At their conferences
the commission decided to hold the
first Territorial fair, authorized by the
last Legislature, at Honolulu in either
May or June of next year-most likely
in June. The law calls for fair this
year, but it was the opinion of all the
commissioners that there was not now
time for any of the islands to prepare
for it.

Maui Delegates AT
Civic Convention
Given Royal Reception, Well Enter.
tained-IntereSting Papers And
Profitable DiScusSiOn-Next Con-
yention, A Year Hence, To Come
To Maui

The Maui delegates to the civic
Convention in Honolulu returned dur
ing the week, with reports OF goou
time and interesting and profitable
sessions. One important accomplish
ment was the capture of the 1918 con
vention for this island, the affair to
take place in Wailuku next September.
The Mauites were met at the wharf
in Honolulu by the home committees
and band. and escorted TO their head
quarters at the Young Hotel. Inc
Regatta Day program took up all OF
Saturday, while Sunday was given
over to an excursion around Oahu'
with luncheon at the Haleiwa hotel.
Sunday night Rev. Carey Peters ad-
dressed the convention at Central
Union church, and naturally all OF the
Maui delegates were present-from
force of habit, if for no other reason
of course.
The regular business of the conven-
ton began at o'clock Monday morn
ing and took up most of that and the
following day. Monday night an ex-
cellent vaudeville program was staged
by the Honolulu Ad Club at the Bijou
theater. Maui was there in force and
with a big noise, and thoroughly en-
joyed the entertainment.
So much of the time on Tuesday
was taken up with the reading and
discussion of papers that a part OF
Maui's set program had to be omitted.
The papers left over will be printed,
however, and distributed later.
The big banquet at the Moana hotel
Tuesday night was a feature OF the
convention. 1t was presided over by
'ormer Governor George r. Carter.
Mr.. w. o. Aiken responded for Maui
during the speech-making part of the
evening. At one stage of the proceed
ings a collection was taken for the
Red Cross, nearly $1100 being realized,
At 10 o'clock next morning majori-
ty of the Maui delegates boarded the
Mauna Kea for home-tired but very
well pleased with the results of the
convention.
The invitation to hold the 1918 con-
vension on Maui was extended by Mr..
, D. H. Case and was accepted by ac-
clamation.
