Bold Thieves Rob
Maui Book Store

Some daring robbers having gotten
the lay of the land committed petty
larceny by rifling the cash register of
the Maui Book Store sometime be-
tween p. NJ, Sunday afternoon and
6 A. NJ, Monday morning. The cash
register was near a window, and the
robbers, carrying several packing
cases from the yard of the Maui
Book Store, placed them under the
window, cut the screen thereby effect
ing entrance, turned the cash register
around and rifled the drawer. AS
the bell on the register makes con-
siderable noise Mr.. Linton, is under
the impression that the deed must
have been done either Sunday after
noon while they were out motoring,
or else in the late hours of Sunday
night when there was considerable
noise on Main street as both he and
Mrs. Linton were in the house from
$50 p. NJ. until the next morning.
The thief or thieves only obtained
$3.50 in silver, some pennies and a
number of old coins. They also took
the keys Of the cash register. Mr.
Linton would like to recover the keys
as he cannot adjust the register with
out them

Island Users Are Being DiSCOnneCt-

Government Makes 1t Necessary

Through the action of the Maui Tel
ephone company of Maui the business
of the island was held up Monday
morning almost until the noon hour,
when they cut off telephone commu-
nication with the wireless station.
The reason for this move was given
to all who attempted to get the wire
less station that the telephone
had been disconnected for non-pay-
ment. An investigation ELECTED the
information that the government had
failed to pay three months back bills
and a fourth bill for June in advance.
In regard to the payment in ad-
vance proposition there is much dis
satisfaction being evinced by the tele'
phone users of Maui, particularly in
this peninsula section. Many of them
object to paying for service which
they have not received, and object to
the ultimatum issued by the telephone
company which threatens that discon
nection of the telephone will be made
if advance rental payment is not
made.

Says Maui Ahead
OF Other Islands
All Island Schools However Are In
sanitary And Unless Remedied Will
Give Us Black Eye

Addressing the board of supervis-
ors at the meeting last Friday after
noon Mr.. Vaughan MacCaughey. Sup
erintendent of Public instruction who
visited Maui for the purpose of in
specting the schools, made special
mention of the unsanitary conditions
now existing in the schools on all the
islands. He said that he hoped to see
these conditions remedied as soon as
possible, and in y.2w of the fact that
Federal representatives will soon be
coming to the lslarls 10 20 through
the schools, he believed the present
conditions Of the schools would give
the Islands "black eye"
Mr.. MacCaughey stated that he had
visited the other Islands and so far
he had found Maui to be far ahead
of the other Islands. Mr.. MacCaugh-
ey further stated that he believed
Maui and her Board of Supervisors
ought to be congratulated on the way
school problems We're being handled
here, and that he was very much
pleased to see that several contracts
had been let for the construction of
new buildings in order to meet the
demands of the increased enrolment
for the coming year.
Mr.. MacCaughey said he believed
Maui was probably taking better care
of her school children than the other
Islands; that the chief problem now is
the sanitary conditions in the schools (;
that he fully appreciated the fact that
the boards have a great many things
to contend with; and that he was
anxious to see close cooperation be.
tween the local commissioners, the
boards of supervisors, and the central
| office of the public instruction, so that
matters which are brought up from
time to time can be taken care of i'm
mediately instead Of being delayed
so long.
1t was Mr. MacCaugheys suggestion
that Board employ man to go around
to the various schools and repair and
paint them when necessary instead
of letting them go to rack and ruin.

Springs
Bomb In Court
Attacks Legality OfGrand Jury When
Clients Come Up For Arraignment
Says Panel Illegally Drawn

A surprise was sprung yesterday
afternoon in the circuit court before
Judge Burr, by Attorney Eugene
Murphy when he attacked the legal
ity of the indictments handed down
by the grand jury this week, Most
of the defendants upon whom true
bills We're handed down, have retain
ed Murphey to conduct the defense
for them. The attorneys grounds
for attacking the indictments are
that the personnel of the grand jury
is illegal in that one of the jurors
has served for three successive years.
Murphey contends that the law for
grand juries is that no member of a
grand jury can serve for more than
one year except a qualified person
cannot be found to serve in his place.
The juror objected to is NJ, J. Moura
whom Murphy claims has served on
1917, 1918 and 1919 jury. Another
ground for attack is that the present
jury panel was not drawn by the
proper percentage from the precincts,
which is another reason why the jury
is illegal.

ROAD BUILDING
NOW COMES TO FORE
Release Of Labor and Material
Means Mending of Neg
lected Highways.

The release OF labor and material in
cident to the rehabilitation Of our army
and the slowing down OF the manufacture
of war supplies offers a golden oppor-
tunity for q programme Of road building
more extensive than any in which the
country has ever engaged. Not only
must we make good the neglect which
our roads have suffered during the pc
Rod when road construction has been
officially frowned upon. but we must go
further and bring our entire road system
up to the standard Of the far famed
roads OF France.
While We often hear OF the tremen-
dous part played in the war by the
Motor Transport. we are apt TO forget
that this part was made possible only
because France has splendid system
" roads, not simply a good road here
ind a good road there. but network of
fine highways connecting almost every
town and village in the country. CSStu!
was this system before the war during
tho war II proved the salvation OF
France: and now that the last shots
have been fired the roads may Justly be
termed one of the country's great assets
in the work Of reha biiitation.
During my recent mission in France,
as I travelled hour after hour over roads
which were maintained in perfect condi-
ton almost up to the front hne trenches
could not help but compare what
France was doing. even in the midst oi
war, to the almost scandalous indiffer-
ence which our country, In time OF peace
as In time Of war has shown toward the
road question. cannot help but fee
that all of our soldiers when they return
from France will demand that our roads
he brought up to the French standard.
Let us anticipate that demand LEI
every township, every county, every
State. let our national Government be
gin to plan this very day to build road:
adapted to the traffic OF to-day and to
morrow. I need not argue the economic
questions involved. That good road
soon pay for themselves many time!
