Small Hope Now OF
A Civic Convention
Japanese Chamber Of Commerce
Votes Against Plan For This Year
Matter To Be Considered Next
Thursday-Time Now Very Short

Owing to the absence in Honolulu
of Secretary d. H. Case, the meeting
of the chamber of commerce, which
would have been held yesterday, was
continued until Thursday Of next
week. The most important business
to be considered will be the matter
of holding the Civic Convention this
fall
Mr.. Case, who returned home We'd
nesday night states that while the
Honolulu chamber of commerce, Ad
Club and Rotary Club have voted in
favor of the convention, he did not
find any great enthusiasm over the
matter in Honolulu. The Japanese
chamber of commerce, he states, has
Joined with Hilo and Kauai in op-
posing the meeting this year. Other
organizations throughout the territory
have not taken the trouble to express
an opinion one way or the other, not
having answered the committees let
ters on the subject.
Secretary Raymond c. Brown, of
the Honolulu chamber, while strong
ly of the opinion that it is a mistake
not to hold the convention, stated
that it is now probably too late to
get a program prepared even if it be
decided to hold the meeting.

down in his automobile and brought
them back to his home. Here they
were put to bed after giving a bare
outline of their terrible experiences
None of the party, however appear
to have suffered any serious injury,
and it is expected that they will be
able to ride on horses the Is miles
to Kailua this afternoon, where they
will be met by an automobile this
evening and brought on to Wailuku.
Mainland Experience Useless
The party started on their trip
from Wailuku last Sunday morning
They had arrived from Honolulu by
the Claudine the day before, and
stopped at the Maui Hotel They
planned To, make a -leisurely trip
through the crater, coming out at Ka-
upo on Monday evening.
Manager Field demonstrated with
them, urging them not to attempt
such a trip, especially without a guide
or better equipment, but they stated
that they were familiar with noun
tain climbing, particularly from a
tour they had made afoot through the
Yosemite, and refused to be dissuad-
ed or discouraged At the insistance
of Mr.. Field they took with them a
fried chicken, 2 loaves of bread, and
some cake chocolate. They had no
blankets, not expecting to have to
sleep out. They must have suffered
severely from the cold Of the high al
titude at night.

Effort Being Made
To Block Sale OF
Grand Hotel Co.

In order to prevent the sale of the
Grand Hotel property by the commits
siOner of the second circuit court, E.
r. Bevins, advertised to take place
tomorrow at noon, Attorney Ferdin-
and Schnack, of Honolulu, trustee in
bankruptcy, acting on behalf of the
unsecured creditors, this afternoon
filed a motion in the circuit court to
reopen the case on grounds that the
debts of the corporation exceeded it's
capital stock at the time the $4,000
mortgage was executed. The sale of
tomorrow is to satisfy this mortgage.
The motion to intervene was op-
posed by Roy A. Vitousek, an attorney
from the firm of Thompson e Cath
cart and associated with Case and
Vincent representing the mortgages.
The matter is still being argued be
fore the court as we go to press. If
the motion is overruled, the sale will
probably take place as advertised.
Should it be sustained the matter
will again be up in the air as it has
been for the past year.

Woman Hurt By Car
OF Harvey Raymond

Mrs. Kamida, Japanese woman
living near Waikapu, is in the Malu-
lani hospital suffering from injuries
which she sustained from being struck
by an automobile driven by Harvey
Raymond, on Wednesday afternoon.
The accident occurred short dis
|tance south of Waikapu Following
the accident Young Raymond picked
the injured woman up and brought
her to the hospital
Raymond, who is the 19-year old
lakua, was driving Lahaina-way in
company with a young friend named
Johnson of Honolulu, son of j. A. NJ.
Johnson of the Royal Hawaiian Gar
age, who is his guest.
The woman was walking with a
number of Japanese along the road
ahead of the approaching car, when
through confusion on the part of the
woman or Raymond, as to what the
other intended to do, she stepped in
front of the machine and was struck
by the fender.
At the hospital it was found that
no bones had been broken but just
what the extent of her injuries are
may not be known for another day or
Two. The case will probably be in
veItigated in the police court next
week, as soon as the nature of the
woman's hurts.

the Gymnasium and Kahului teams
was fine exhibition of basket ball,
which ended in favor of the Wailuku

Good team work on the part of botn
teams made the play fast and snappy
Throughout, there was no lack of in
terest.
The second game was called be-
tween the Cubs and st. Anthony and
proved even more exciting than the
first, owing to the fact that first one
team and then another would push
ahead. Two minutes before the close
of the game the score stood at 10 all,
but the game went to the Cubs, 10 to
10, foul and two baskets benig

Ten Days More And
Islands Will Be Dry
Planning For Handling Liquor For
Medical, Scientific And Sacrament
al PurpOSeS-0ne DispenSary In
Proposed

How the liquor permitted to be us
ed for medical, scientific and sacra-
mental purposes under the Sheppard
prohibition law, is to be administer
ed, is a question that is causing some
considerable discussion. The new act
goes into effect on the goth of this
month, and after that time the only
alcoholic liquors that may be import
ed, manufactured or sold are such as
may be needed for the purposes just
mentioned. e..
AT meeting of the Maui liquor
license commissioners held this NOR
ming, it was decided to recommend
that all liquors used hereafter in the
territory be dispensed from a singled
dispensary to be located in Honolut
lu, and only upon acquisitions issue5
or approved by boards to be appoint
ed by the Governor for each COUNT
These boards should have power 10
call upon physicians and others hsv-
ing legal use for liquors, to make re-
ports as often as deemed necessary,
and to show by careful records The
disposition made of all liquor they
might be permitted to purchase
The Maui board holds that 1t AUTO
matically goes out of existence IS a
territorial body on the Goth of faAugust,
because the territorial law. under
which it is created at that time be-
comes nOnoperative on account of the
new federal statute. a4=
At meeting held in Honolulu last
Monday, which was attended by D.
II, Case, representing the local board,
it was the plan of Attorney General
Harry Irwin that the present liquor
boards should continue as heretofore,
and should have power to license such
agents or dispensaries on each island
as seemed necessary.

LOST ON HALEAKALA
FOUR NEARLY PERISH
Honolulu Teachers Make Way To Ocean Through
Keanae Gap unprecedented Trip---FOur Days
With Little FOOd---Awful Experience Started
To Walk Through Crater And Lost Way

Lost in the crater of HaleakaIa and
in the dense jungle on the windward
side of the mountain for days, a
party of Honolulu school teachers,
three women and one man, finally
made their way down into keanae
valley at o'clock last night. They
were so exhausted that they were un-
able to stand after falling in their
tracks when human habitations we're
reached.
The party consisted Of
Henry L. AbelI,
Miss Hazel AbeIl,
Miss Edna Lochridge,
Miss Elizabeth Appleton.
All except the last named are teach
ers in Mills School, Honolulu. Miss
Appleton is a daughter of U. S. Dis
trict Attorney S. c. Huber.
Terrible Experience
That il would be possible for any
human being to come out of the era
ter through the Keanae valley, as
this party did, would have been con-
sidered absolutely impossible by any
one who knows that part of the is
land. So far as can be learned there
is no record of it's having been done
even by natives in -olden days.
The party missed the home of
George w. Weight and other houses
in the upper part of the valley, and
travelled clear to the lower village
several miles further, before they
came to Chinese where they
dropped down utterly exhausted and
scarcely able to speak. Word was tel

GERMAN ARTILLERY LOSSES
Imdendorff Admits Allied Batteries
Destroy Hundreds of Guns.

A SYNOPSIS OF report by Luden-
! dorff upon the waStage OF German ar
tillery in offensives is reprinted IN
! the current issue of The Field Artll-
! lery Journal from The Canadian Mill
tary Gazette The comment of The
Gazette was that the gunWorks IN
Germany were under great strain to
keep the German artillery at siren
9Th under alarming losses 1t is
the belief of the critic that Luden-
dorff's secret report, made IN an
swer to domestic criticisms" had
no great difficulty in justifying the
large losses of guns. The Gazette
continues:
For us the chief interest of the
document lies in certain figures 1t
contains. 1t stated that during grand
operations the average number OF
guns lost by a single German Army
in a single month either by wear and
tear or by enemy fire are to be found
as follows: Field guns, $40; heavy
pieces, 5S5. This is a remarkable
confession.
"A great industrial strain is the
necessary results. Tn earsenals or
workshops have had to make or re-
pair pieces to the extent of three
quarters of the whole military es-
tablishment merely to keep up the
existing strength. The industrial
strain of such efforts makes it easy
to understand why Ludendorff found
it necessary to answer his German
critics. Further, we have valuable
statistical proof of the efficacy of the
allied counterbattery work or an
average of l ,455 guns put out of ac-
ton. it appears that So were lost by
wear and tear, and 500 by the allied
bombardments. Ludendorff offers
his critics this figure by way of re-
ply to their contention that fire
against the enemy's batteries is rela-
lively unimportant, and that it is on
ly the bombardment of infantry that
seriously matters. The reply is de-
cisive.''

Save Seed for Next Year

Most all kinds of garden or field
seeds will be very costly and more
difficult to get next year than they
were this year. When you see
good tomato plant, potato plant, tur-
nip, radish, bean, carrot. beet or
lettuce plant, save it. This way you
are guaranteed the best of seeds, at
the lowest possible cost. A little eff
fort along this line gives big re-
suits. This county has several fine
corn growers because of the fact
that they save their own seed corn.
Several of the best tomato grow
ers around HurIock save their own
seed. They do this only for one
reason, and that is, it pays. Next
years seed supply will be scarce and
high. Be prepared by saving all
seed needed for planting next year.
