new STEAMER SCHEDULE
Seems to Give Equal Service
to Both Sides Of Island
---Probaly Please All

The meeting recently held by the
Kauai Chamber of Commerce, for the
purpose of formulating a time table
to submit to the Inter-Island company,
has at last borne fruit.
The company last week notified it's
patrons that it would change its pres
ent schedule. and that it has, with a
view of bettering its service, and ac-
commodating so far as possible all its
patrons. adopted the following plan,
which will be effective on April I, five
days hence:
Arrivals
Tuesday-Mauna Loa (extra) Koloa,
Nawiliwili and Ahukini, 8 a. m.
Tuesday-Mauna Loa (extra) Koloa,
Nawiliwili and Ahukini a. m.
Wednesday, -(regular) Kinau, Ma
wiliwili.
Friday-Mauna Loa, Waimea, or to
Makaweli Grregular).
Saturday-Kinau, Nawiliwiil Ahuki.
nj (regular).
Departures
Wednesday-Mauna Loa, from Ma
wiliwili, 5 o'clock p. IN.
Thursday-Kinau, from Port Allen.
Friday-Mauna Loa from Waimea or
Makaweli Grregular).
Saturday-Kinau, from Nawliwili,
(regular).
Thus it will be seen that so far as
Nawiliwili and Lihue are concerned,
the Kinau will arrive regularly from
Honolulu on Wednesday and Saturday.
The Mauna Loa is scheduled to ar
rive at koloa, Nawiliwili and Ahukini,
on Tuesdays, but is marken on the
schedule as extra" If the Mauna
Loa arrives here each Tuesday, that
gives Lihue three steamere a week
But the Mauna Loa apparently leaves
Nawiliwili on Wednesday at p. m.
This would seem to indicate that she
will come to Nawiliwili on Tuesday,
go on to Ahukini, and thence to Koloa,
returning to Nawiliwili on Wednesday.
The departures from NawtiiWili Will
be as follows: Mauna Loa on Wednes,
day, Kinau on Saturday.
The new schedule at least assures
Nawiliwili of two steamers per week,
TO and from Honolulu direct, Wal
mea gets one steamer per week direct,
and Koloa one direct, mail for each
place arriving on that side by steamer
twice a week Thus the south side
of the island gets two steamers per
week. same as the north side, and
there remains no cause for jealousy.
This is not exactly the schedule ask
ed for by the people, but it seems to
be equally satisfactory, and apparent
ly is as just to all parties and districts
as it could well he made.

C0NFESSES DYNAMlTING
Lad Who Tried to Wreck the
Kalaheo Teachers Cot
tage Gives Details

Willie Nunes, the fourteen-year-old
boy suspected of having exploded two
sticks of dynamite under the teachers
cottage at Kalaheo, on Monday night
of last week, was arrested within
twenty four hours. He had taken
pair of blankets, and gone to cane
field, where he slept that night. He
was tracked by an officer, and discov-
cred in his hiding place.
The boy did not seem to realize the
enormity of his crime, nor the results
which it would under ordinary cir
cumstances have been attended with.
He freely admitted that he had ex-
ploded the dynamite, and stated that
he had secured the explosive, caps and
fuse from one Segundo, a Filipino,
who, it is stated had taken them
from a magazine where they had been
stored for road work. Segundo, the
boy stated, had taught him how to
attach the fuse and caps in order to
explode the dynamite.
The boy Nunes was sent to the re-
form school at Honolulu some months
ago, for a minor offense, but was later
released at the request of his father.
Considerable adverse comment has
been been heard here because the
Honolulu authorities didnot consult
with the committing magistrate here
before releasing the lad. The failure
to do so might easily have resulted in
murder, and would undoubtedly have
so resulted, had the boy been better
acquainted with the peculiarities of
the explosives which he used.
Manuel Nunes, the father, and Mrs.
Nunes, the mother, are very estima-
BILE people, and have the sympathy of
the public in the sorrow brought up
on them through the misbehavior of
their son. 1t is said that the lad fell
out of a tree when quite young, and
has never been altogether responsible
mentally since that time. He knows
what he is doing, beyond doubt, but
fails to realize the consequences.
When questioned by the officers and
Judge Dickey as to why he had placed
the dynamite under the school cottage,
he said that he wanted to frighten
Miss Martin. He said that when he
attended school, his teacher was Miss
Martin, and that she had the pupils
sing every morning. He explained
that he didn't like to sing, and that
Miss Martin punished him every morn
ing when he so refused He harbored
frighten Miss Martin by exploding
dynamite under her bed room. The
cottage floor is several feet above the
ground, and the force of the dynamite
was largely downward. The teachers
in the building were naturally fright
ened by the noise and shock of the
explosion, and when the second eX-
plosion took place, they were still
more frightened.
The boy had placed two sticks of
dynamite, one with short fuse, and
one with long one. The result was
that the first explosion was followed
by second. The boy did not know
which room Miss Martin occupied.
and placed the charge under the wrong
part of the building.
The boy was taken before Judge
Dickey Tuesday morning, who senten
ced him to the reform school for the
balance OF his minority.
Segundo, the Portuguese who took
the dynamite from the magazine, was
later arrested, and was sentenced to
serve six months in the county Jail,

THOSE VERY WICKED FILMS
Fernandez Explains Case and
Offers Cooperation, but
Says Films High Class

Some complaint has been heard re.
Gently as to the character of some of
the films shown at the local theater.
| Not as to the artistic beauty of the
| groupings, or the Photographic work,
both of which are beyond censure. OBJ

gambling and drinking, and still more
Objectionable places. Some have been
In favor of forming board of censOrs,
similar to that recently formed in
Hilo.
The Garden Island reporter has in
terviewed William Fernandez, the
manager who states that he has EN-.
deavored to secure the best films that
money would buy. He shows the
Hearst-Pathe Weekly News, the Bur-
ton Holmes Travevl Pictures, the Par.
amount Pictures, and the three serials
per week. These are known as the
most artistic films that can be PRO.
cured, so far as art is concerned.
his own voltion, written to the Con
solidated Amusement company, of
Honolulu, with whom he deals, stating
that he has heard some complaines
as to the moral tone of some Of the
films, or rather the alleged immoral
tone, but that the company replied
that it was endeavoring to secure the
highest class films made, and that the
films sold by them had been shown on
the minland, and had been pronounced
by managers as universally successful
and profitable.
Mr.. Fernandez says that he has
been spending two and three times as
much for the Paramount pictures as
he would have had to pay for inferior
pictures, and has endeavored to give
the public what it wanted. He has
gone to this extra expense in securing
the most artistic films that could be
had, Notwithstanding that it has not
not been profitable for him to do so,
from the purely financial standpoint.
He explains that there is not a suffi-
cient number of theater-going people
here to make the theater profitable,
and that he had sometimes thought it
would be better to close the theater.
Mr.. Fernandez says he is willing to
cooperate with any board of censors
that may be appointed to supervise
the films to be presented if such should
seem to be the desire of his patrons.
He says, however, that what may not
please one class, most assuredly does
please another, and that it is a prob
lem that is far from being one of easy
solution.
Mr.. Fernandez also explains that ev-
cry theater manager in the islands
pays twenty-five per cent more for
films than do the theater managers
on the mainland. This is so because
the big film companies charge for the
use of films from the minute they are
released in San Francisco or Los An
geles. By far the greatest majority of
motion picture producing companies
are located in Los Angeles. The re-
suit is, that the Honolulu agents are
compelled to pay the producers for the
use of the film while it is EN- route to
the islands. They must necessarily
pass this charge on to the local thea.
ter managers.
