Ages before poison gas was used in

as the Brachinus Crepitans, used a
similar device to confound its ene-

When pursued by bigger BEETLES this
little creature elects a peculiar fluid
which, on coming into contact with
the atmosphere, bursts into a pale
blue-green flame, followed by kind
of smoke, intensely irritating anu

Burr Cancels Harvey
RaymOnd's Peace Bond

In the second circuit court on Mon
day, Judge Burr reversed the decision
of the Wailuku district court in the
matter of j. Harvey Raymond, and
dismissed the defendant, cancelling
his bond of $500 to keep the peace.
The case originated several months
ago when Charles E. Thompson a
rancher at Kamaole, following a
quarrel with young Raymond over a
pasture lot, swore out warrant for
Raymond alleging that the latter had
threatened him and asking that he be
put under bond to keep the peace.
Following a trial of the case Magis-
trate Mckay, granted the petition, at
the same time stating that in his
opinion the complaining witness was
in no danger of injury at the hands
of the accused.
1t was on this finding that Judge
Burr dismissed the defendant and
Cancelled his bond. Raymond has been
on the mainland for some time past,
having enlisted in the navy He was
stationed at the Mare Island Navy
Yard at last reports.

Grand Jury IndictS
Policemen OF Hama
Mystery Of Re-COnvening Of Grand
Jury By Attorney General Not
Made Public - Many RumOrS -
Jury Made Only Formal Report

The mystery concerning the recall.
ing of the local grand jury by the at
torney general is still a mystery in
so far as the general public is con
cerned. The inquisitorial body got
together on Monday with Joseph
LightfOot, deputy attorney general,
representing the territory as prosecut.
ing officer. 1t reconvened on Wednes-
Gay following the election, and in the
afternoon returned 8 indictments and
l no true bill, as follows:
Joint indictment against John Hoo
kano Waiwaiole, /. Makahilahila, p.
Kahimahu, e. Luiso, and Chas. Lake
for conspiracy.
An indictment against Masaro Ma
kao for forgery.
An indictment against Domingo
Domingo, rape.
No bill against Kealokaa, perjury.
The report of the grand jury was
purely formal and made no reference
to any matters other than the indict-
ments returned
The joint Indictment is against po-
lice officers who are accused of ha>
ms NOuSpl GU JOStlutI 10 keep eNl-
dence money put up as cash bail by
a bunch of Japanese gamblers, arrest
ed last May. 1t is said that this ma
ter was investigated by the grand
jury at the June term but nothing
was reported concerning it. Waiwai-
ole, was discharge from the police
force about that time for his connec-
ton this affair. Lake, one OF those
indicted, is now deputy sheriff in The
Hama district
The Keaokaa case is also an old
one, growing out of a civil suit
brought by Kealokaa in connection
with a piece of land at Lahaina.
The two other indictments are for
offenses committed recently since the
grand jury was previously in session.
Just what else may be back of the
matter which caused the attorney
general to take the grand jury out of
the hands of the county attorney has
not come out, but it has been fruitful
of a choice lot of rumors.
Deputy Attorney General Lightfool

Big United War Work
Drive Starts Monday
Local COmmitte Workers Will Be Out
To Tag Everybody In Sight $685.
600 Must Be Raised During Week
Benefits" Not Favored

Last Saturday there was a largely
attended meeting of the Maui Ex-
ecutive Committee of the United War
Work Campaign was held in Wailuku
last Saturday afternoon. VIM. E.
Hopkins of New York, representing
the War Camp Community Service,
and Father Stephens of Honolulu,
representing the Knights of Columbus
and Allied Catholic War Work were
also present.
Chairman Rice reported that the
territorial committee had voted, in
accordance with wishes of the Gov
ernment, that no benefits" be given
for the United War Work Campaign.
In view of this report action was at
once taken by the Committee dis
approving of all such benefits in Maui
County.
The tags were received by the Com
mittee on Monday and have been dis
tributed together with receipt books
to all committee members, so the
preparations are fully completed for
the beginning of the drive on next
Monday.
Each donor will receive a tag, so
that if he wears his tag he will not
be approached twice for a gift.
All donations for the eight days of
the drive should be made by check to
the United War Work Campaign, or
to F. P. Rosecrans, treasurer. The
local chairmen of each district are
responsive for the donations in their
own districts. These chairmen are
as follows:
H. X. Duncan, Kahului.
DR.. Chas. P. Durney, Kula.
E. j. Walker, Hamakuapoko.
A. F. Tavares, Haiku.
w. F. Pogue, Hama.
James G. Munroe, Molokai
c. A. Macdonald, Lahaina.
E. ]. Walsh, Puunene.
r. B. Dodge, Wailuku.
F. P. Rosecrans, Paia.
Maui's quota was again discussed
in the committee, and it was found
that S3 cents per capita must be rails
ed to reach the sum of $4,000 allot-
ted. If, however, Maui gives in pro
portion to the quota per capita of
$1.07k, as is expected on the main
land, Maui should give $51 100000 on
the basis of her population.
Disappointment is felt that the
special posters from New York had
not arrived, but there is still hope
that they may come in tomorrow or
Sunday. The poster that Honolulu
territorial committee has had printed,
is however, most attractive, and has
been put up all over Maui County in
the last few days.
Small booklets dealing with the
work of the seven organizations can
be obtained for the committee mem
bers upon application.

Maui Republicans
Make Clean Sweep
Democrats Taken By SurpriSe-Had
Been Confident Of ViCtOry-KuhiO
Wins In Territory By Heavy Oahu
And Maui Plurality

Maui's share in the territorial elec
tion last Tuesday was to return a
solid victory for the republican ticket
The majorities were large-much
larger than had even been hoped for
Kghio beat McCandless for the del
egateship by 367 votes, while Rice
defeated Ben Lyons for the senate by
147. The six republican candidates
for representative won in most in
stances by about two to one.
Up to the present time the returns
from the army posts on Oahu have
not been received but it is quite GER
tain they will not change the results
in any material way. The total army
vote for the territory amounted to but
712, and of these Kuhio got 42S A
tabulation of the Maui returns is
printed on page 8.
McCandless did succeed in cutting
down Kuhio's 1916 majority on Maui
very considerably. Two years ago
the latter's total was 1910 votes more
than that of the former. 1t is prob
badly less than 400 this year.
Democrats Take Ii Hard
So confident were the democrats on
Maui of winning the election this
ton they sent a letter to the central
committee in Honolulu predicting that
their whole ticket would be elected.
When the returns began to come in
and were posted on the big board in
front of the Maui News office. there
was immediate CONSERVATION which
soon developed into deepest gloom in
the local Bourbon camp.
Link Carried WaiIuku
Link showed much strength in Wal
luku, receiving 179 votes to Kuhio's
141. He was alos a strong favorite
in U1upalakua, where DR. Raymond's
efforts bore plentiful fruit He also
led in the Keokea precinct, at Keanae,
Kaupo and in Molokai except at the
leper settlement which Kuhio carried
by 9 votes.
Ben Lyons ran about 100 ahead of
McCandless, but generally shared
with Link the favor or disfavor Of the
various precincts.
Territorial Results
Kuhio showed less strengththrough-
out the territory this year than he did
two years ago, losing ground in ev-
cry county except Oahu where he
showed much stronger than hereto
fore. Kuhio seems to have lost his
hold in no small measure in the ma
tive Hawaiian districts, which almost
without exception went for McCand-
less.
Following is the delegateship vote
by islands for 1916 and this year, the
latter being minus the soldier vote:

Earth Shakes Maui
Folk Out OF Dreams
Sharp Seismic Disturbance Felt All
Over Territory Last Friday Most
Severe On Hawaii KiIauea Opens
New Outlets For Lava

Many persons on Maui were shaken
from their slumbers about 1880 o.
clock last Friday night, by a real,
goodness-to-gracious earthquake. The
tremblor was one of the sharpest
that has been felt on Maui for years,
making dishes in the pantry rattle
and pictures on the wall shake
ominously. No danger however, has
been reported and the disturbance did
not last long.
The quake, which probably original
ed in connection with volcanic dis
turbances on the island of Hawaii,
was more severe there than here, be-
ing reported to have been one of the
heaviest in 20 years. Roads were
blocked by rocks shaken from the
hills, and a lot of stone fences in
Kau and Kona were tumbled down,
but otherwise there was little loss of
property reported.
Kilauea Acts Up
The most interesting feature of the
shock is in connection with the be-
havior of the lava pit in Kilauea vol
cano. The pit has been very full, and
the earthquake apparently opened a
number of large cracks in the floor OF
the main crater through which lava
is flowing into parts of the big crater
that have seen no-live lava for many
years. The old stone rest house is
reported overwhelmed, as well as the
stone shelter for horses not far dis
tnat.
On Oahu no less than 26 waves Of
earthquake were recorded.

WaiIuku ManHeld On
Suspicion OF Murder
Death Of Chinese In Naval Service
ClOuded By Deep MyStery-AntOne
Paresa Had Blood On Clothing But
Evidence Against Him Seems Weak

Antoine Paresa, a Wailuku boy, is
held in Jail in Honolulu on suspicion
Of murder. He had just been dis
honorably discharged from the navy.
Frederick Char, a chief yeoman in
the navy, stationed at Pearl Harbor,
was cut to pieces by a train on the
Oahu Railroad, Thursday night of
last week. The body, however, was
found to have been cold when the
tain struck it.
Paresa is thought, by the police and
naval officers to know something
about the affair. Whom arrested
number of blood spots were found on
his clothing and on his hat. These
spots are being examined by experts
TO determine if possible whether they
may be the same as the dead mans
blood.
Char, who was a Chinese boy of eX-
ceptonally good reputation, had been
sent to Honolulu with Paresa from
Pearl Harbor after the latter had been
discharged, with instructions to take
charge of Paresa's uniform after he
had obtained civilian clothing. He
did not go to his home at the regular
time, and nothing more was heard of
him so far as can be learned, until
his dead body was found at a lonely
place on the railroad several miles
outside of Honolulu proper.
Paresa says he went to the Occiden-

Bears ruled the corn market right from,

been augmented seemed to put the bulls
on the defensive. Bearish sentiment, how

In this connection, shippers were officially
advised to get wheat out Of the way as

from the Tehama Temple at Hast

the big Shriners' meeting at the

R. E. Bryant, proprietor of the
hotel, told the boys "the place is
yours" and they accepted the offer
and turned loose for a big time.
They brought with them their
patrol and drum corps and it sound
ed like a regular old-time Scottish
bagplpe concert. There are but
three Shrine temples in the state,
the Tangier at Omaha, the Sesos-
iris at Lincoln and the Tehama at
Hastings. Of these the Tehama is
the baby, just having received their
charter at the last meeting of the
Imperial Council at Atlantic City
about six months ago, and having
