Phillips" said an oficial from d.

objector was brought before him with
other loyal drafted men. you are a
feIon and you are not wanted in the

William Kualu Pronounced
Not Guilty Of Larceny
Or Other Crime

A. G. Kaulukou, the County Treas
of drivers badges which he ordered
some time ago, and drivers are notified
to secure needed badges as promptly
as may be.
The case of William Kualu, charged
with larceny, came up for trial before
jury last week.
This is the case which was tried in
district court some time ago, at which
time the defendant was pronounced
guilty, and fine of $50 was imposed.
Friends who knew all the surrounding
circumstances, however, advised the
defendant to appeal the case.
Evidence submitted showed that the
defendant and plaintiff owned some
household goods and other personal
property used in common, and that
when the time for division came, a
dispute arose as to who was the legal
owner of a certain Springfield rife,
which the defendant claimed and re.
moved.
The jury decided that the rife be.
longed to the defendant, and returned
verdict Of not guilty.
County Treasurer Kaulukou took ur
the matter in behalf of the defend
ant, whom he believed to be not guilty
and paid the costs of suit and attor
ney's fees, in both the lower and upper
| court.
His interest in the case has won fol
| Kaulukou much favorable comment.

Nothing has so far been heard but
the most enthusiastic support and
acquiescence. In fact there is uni
versal rejoicing wherever the order
has become known.
C.. w. Spitz, of Lihue, perhaps more
deeply interested financially in the
liquor business than anyone else on
the island, has said repeatedly that II
all were given equal treatment, and
all other liquor dealers went out of
business, he didn't care. He would
not fight any prohibitive ordinance,
but would abide by such rules as the
President, the territory, or the liquor
commission should see fit to make.
]. X. Cockett, OF Eleele, says that he
has for some time been convinced that
absolute prohibition was only a ques-
ton of time. and perhaps short per-
iod Of time. He has, therefore, been
this end in view he recalled a large
order for billheads, some months ago,
which he had given to the Garden
Island. He has been disposing of all
goods as fast as possible, and has not
ordered any new stock except for the
liquors in most common use, and has
ordered only enough of those to last
two weeks at a time. Mr. Cockett
says: 81 have no complaint whatever
to make. l am already making plans
to get out of the liquor business and
into some other business" Mr.. Cock.
etts cheerfulness in regard to the
matter is as commendable as 1t is re.
markable.
Charles B. Gray, of Kapaa, is a con-
scientious objector He thinks the
liquor commission has gone too far.
He says; "Yes, | object. think the

it has exceeded its authority. The

HANAPEPE UNDER WATER
Boys Fish From Doorsteps,
Hen Uses Chicken Coop
For Surfboard

mountains in great volume, the river
overfowed its banks, and the floods
came rolling down to Hanapepe town.
The yellow tide o'erhowed the rice
fields and taro patches, and flowed
across the fields into the little town
aneath the cocoa trees. Little tots
screamed with delight to see the rush
wal nuinui was coming down the street
with a chicken using a hencoop for a
surfboard.
Pigs Complain About It
Hogs like water, but they are not
anxious to have it so deep in their pen
that they have to swim around with no
place to land. So the pigs complained
about it, and eventually went "over the
top" across the swelling tide to higher
ground and greener fields.
Boys Fish From Doorsteps
But the boys did have lot of fun.
Water was three feet deep in the
| streets, for an hour or two, and the
boys sat on the porches and dangled
their feet in the water and ran to get a
| fishhook to tempt the denizens of the
deep. But the fish were slightly ex-
cited, and were scooting around to
learn, if possible, where the real river
might be.
Outward With Flowing Tide
The river was rushing out to sea
with all its might, and it brooked no
delay. 1t washed out all the logs, swept
over the brush on the banks, lifted the
fences, and bore them on it's bosom to
its mother, the sea.
Old Wreck Trembles
For years there has been a sandbar
across the mouth of the river, washed
up by angry seas. The river was an
cry, this time, and swept the sandbar
into the Pacific ocean. The wreck of
the fOur-masted schooner leaned over
idly on the beach as of yore, but began
to sway with the flood, and to shift
position.
Doves Groom Again
During the afternoon the flood
abated, somewhat, and the doves be-
gan to Groom again in the algeroba
trees. The river assumed quieter
mien, and, re-adjustments were in
order in Hanapepe at the mouth of
the big Canyon Olekele.
Cleaning UP
Fish wriggled in little ponds, and
the boys began to invade the battle
fields Of the waters titanic forces.
Women swept the mud off their front
door steps, men shoveled the mud
from the path to the front gate, and
within an hour or two an auto slowly
made its way up Hanapepe's Broad
way.
Women Tell Experience
Then the women began to tell their
neighbors what they were doing when
the flood came, and where they were
sitting when little Jimmy and Yoshi-
moto, and Leilehua came in and told
them, and oh, how frightened they
were, and so on ad infinitum. By the
time the story was finished, rosy-fin-
gered Morn peeped DER the eastern
hills, and Old Sol began the work of
drying Hanapepes main street in prep
aration for the usual traffic.
