found. 1t is located $500 feet above

of lava 800 feet in diameter'is burst
ing 800 feet in the air, a steady flow
being maintained.
George Gibbs, AIonzo GartIey,
Horace Johnson, and Eben Low locat-
ed the eruption place. They heard
the roaring of the great lava fountain
for miles before they reached it. Prof.
Jaegar has not yet been heard from.
The lava flowing into the ocean has
formed a cape extending out for a
quarter of a mile from the shore.
A small tidal wave swept the kona
coast yesterday The disturbance is
laid to the weight of lava causing the
ocean bed to settle.

Plans For Two Machines To Come
During Fair - officers Pleased
With Facilities For Aviation Here
Three Men In Party

At least two airplanes will be on
Maui during the County Fair next

army aviator, who piloted big army
seaplane from Pearl Harbor to Ka-
bului last Monday morning, returning
in the afternoon.
Capt Furrow was accompanied by
It. Maitland and by a sergeant WIRE
less operator. The big plane reached
Kahului about IL O'Clock making the
fight from Pearl Harbor in 2 hours
and As minutes. 1t landed gracefully
upon the water just inside the west
brealwater and was run upon the
beach near where it landed, but was
afterwards taken out into the stream
and moored to buoy.
The officers were entertained al
lunch at the home of William Walsh,
of the Fair executive committee, anu
were later escorted by Chairman D.
C. Lindsay, Mr.. Walsh and F. b. Cam
eron. manager of the fair, over the
fair site and also to inspect the polo
Grounds near Keahua. The visitors
expressed themselves as highly pleas
ed with it's facilities for air craft
They expressed the belief that the
army will undoubtedly make use in
the future of the polo ground as a
landing place, it being exceptionally
well suited for the purpose
To Perform "Stunts"

part in the recent war.
Capt. Furrow and his party got
away for Honolulu last Monday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock, his departure be-
ing watched by large crowd. SUN
breeze was blowing at the time, ana
the machine spent half an hour OF
more in maneuvers on the harbor be-

Dairy Cattle Bring
Very Good Prices
Scarcity OF Labor Causes Closing OF
Haiku Dairy-Auctisn Well At
tended And Livestock Eagerly
Snapped Up

The demand for high grade dairy
cattle on Maui was evidenced last
Saturday in the sale of the Jersey
herd of James Lindsay, of Haiku, at
public auction. Nine cows We're sold
at an average of 1925 or better, while
8 heifers sold for from $50 to 500 or
more.
Mr.. Lindsay for the past 10 years,
has been perhaps the largest dairy
man on Maui, but for the past several
years he has been so handicapped by
the scarcity of labor that he was final
ly forced to so out of the business.
Besides the cows, two mules were
sold for 1915, and a number OF other
animals, as well as a quantity of
dairy equipment was sold at salts
factory figure. The sale was conduct
ed by w. o. Aiken, as auctioneer.

Legality Of Grand
Jury Is Questioned

Judge Burr, in circuit court yester-
day, announced that he would hear
arguments next Tuesday on pleas in
abatement on certain criminal cases
filed by Attorney Murphy and Vincent
These pleas question the legality of
the present grand jury, it being held
that certain members of the jury have
served two or more successive years.
An attempt will be made to show that
this is prohibited by statute where it
is possible to secure other qualified
citizens.
Should the pleas be sustained it
will probably necessitate a special
venire for a new grand jury being
drawn before further court work re-
quiring the jury can be taken up. 1t
had been expected that the grand jury
would be summoned to convene some
time this month. The jury commits.
sioners who drew the present jury are
c. d. Lufkin and d. T. Carey.

Baby Convention
To Be Big Event
Will Take Place At Fair Grounds
Next Friday Morning - Expert
From Honolulu To Have Charge
Of Measuring

An unexpected amount of interest
is being displayed in the Baby Con-
vention" which is to be feature of
the Maui County Fair next week The
ladies who have this matter in charge
are greatly elated with the outlook
and forsee much future benefit to the
Island to come from it,
The show will be held next Friday
morning, the second day of the fair, at
10 o'clock. 1t will take place in the
new territorial building where the
weighing and measuring will be done
under the direction of Miss Smythe,
head nurse of the Palama Settlement
Honolulu, who comes to Maui for this
purpose.
Miss Smythe has had large expert
ence in work with babies, and had
charge of the judging of the babies
in the big baby show held in Homo
lulu during the last territorial fair
She will also be one of the judges of
the coming event.
A second judge will be Mrs. Dr.
Webb, of Lahaina, physician who
is much interested in child welfare
work. A third judge remains to be
selected.
Nationalties Separate
In the judging of the babies each
nationality is to be kept separte, for
the reason that it is impossible to
apply the same standards to the diff
ferent races. In fact it is only for the
haoles that any such standards now
exist, and the measurements that will
be taken at the present time will be
of much value in establishing such
standards for the future.
AS a preliminary to the big con
|yention," the various physicians and
district nurses on Maui have been
busy for a week or more in weigh
ing and measuring babies all over
Maui. This is a part of the work of
the child welfare organization work
ing in cooperation with the national
movement along the same line. The
records being made are being sent to
Washington to form a part of the ma
tional statistics.
