Rice Quits Haiku
Canning Plant
Sells Out To Durney & Co. Of San
Francisco And Resigns As Manager
- TavareS In Place Until Re-
organization

Considerable surprise was caused in
financial and plantation circles on
Maui early this week when it became
known that Senator Harold Rice had
sold his interests in the Haiku Fruit
g. Packing company to Griffith Dur
ney G. Company of San Francisco and
resigned as president and general
manager on Saturday. Mr.. Rice sold
1922 shares of his hui stock to the
mainland firm for $4,000. They al
so had bought 4464 shares or the 9th
er $40 of the hui stock and this,
with the stock they already held
of the stock. Mr.. Rice's resignation
automatically makes w. A. Baldwin
president, and Representatives Antoine
will be acting manager taking over
Mr. Rice's duties pending a reorganiz-
alton and election of new directors
There are three directors to be chOs-
en- as H. w. Collins OF Lahaina and
j. B. Thomson, formerly of Puunene
and now of Eva plantation have sold
out their interests and resigned.
Best Cannery In Territory
This move on Mr.. Rices part will
not hinder the production of the Hal
ku Fruit & Packing company" said
Mr. Tavarez when asked about the
matter. 81 feel that there is a great
er future in Haiku for the stockhold-
ers than there ever has been and l
believe even now that Haiku is the
best cannery and has the greatest
future of any cannery in the Terri
tory of Hawaii. | firmly believe it
will reach the million case mark
about 1922 and that there are sufiici-
ent pineapple lands on Maui so that
soon pines need be planted only once
in every eight years and still the Hal
ku will be able to produce a million
cases of canned pineapple yearly
There is a possibility that Alex. c.
Rattray, who has been bookkeeper at
the Haiku plant will leave for. Homo

Child Dies From
Eating Poison
Three Others iii From Chewing Nut
Of A Poisonous BuSh-Name Of
Plant Is Unknown

Childrcn's curiosity and love o
l of the Puunene Plantation Monday,
when four little Japanese girls under
10 years old ate the nut of a bush
which it is declared is deadly poison.
One OF tho children who ate and
swallowed the nut died from the eff
fects of it, and the other three are
very i'll at the Puunene hospital. The
nut comes from a shrub which grows
about the size of a castor plant, and
the effect from eating is somewhat
similar to that of castor beans, result
ing in sure death. TT, leaf is redate
and somewhat on the order of The
castor bean, but not so large nor so
thick in texture. II is light green
with the lobes finer than those of a
castor plant. The flower is clustered
and bright red and the fruit is
green, about the size Of Rukui nut.
There are three layers to the nut, and
it has a sweetish taste.
The japanese told Dr. Sawyer at
Puunone hospital that there are only
three of the shrubs in the island, but
Miss Rebecca Akana, county nurse,
declared that the bu 3h is to be found
in almost every Japanese yard. There
arc two in front of the Buddhist
church at Wailuku.
A sample of the shrub was submit
ted to Mr.. Ching, and Mr.. Mcfarland,
who arrived on Maui Tuesday evening
from the experimental station at Ho-
nolulu Mr. Ching declared the plant
4 o be of the euphobicea family and a
deadly poison.
Samples of the shrub are being sent
to the Honolulu Experiment Station

Check ReduCer Is
Latest In Con Men
Thief Steals Big Check From Royal
Hawaiian And Reduces TO Small
Amount In Order To Cash It
Screw Driver Left Behind Proves
UndOing

Kui Far, 19 years old, a stevedore
on the Kahului Railroad started out
to be a bold bad robber. He succeed
ed in fooling a Japanese storekeeper
to the tune of $50 but the cashier of
the Paia bank unfortunately spilled
the beans. On July the Royal Ha-
waiian Sales company Office was
broken into and check for $3.50 made
to the order of Frank Locey was
stolen. The figure nine on the check
was rubbed out, the words mine hun
dred" on the check protector were
damaged so as to be illegible, and the
word fifty" left intact. Then
Frank Loceys name was forged to
the endorsement and j. Onishi was
made the goat, cashing the check for
$50.
On the night of July the ticket
office of the Kahului railroad com
pany at Wailuku was broken into and
the ticket box tampered with, al
though no money was procured. But
murder will out for the person who
did this left behind a screw driver.
Through this screw driver the would
be robber was apprehended, the trail
leading to Kui Far He admitted the
breaking into the Royal Hawaiian
garage, and it is thought probable by
the police that he may be the same
man who has been committing a ser
ries of petty thefts in and around
Wailuku.
The robber was arraigned Tuesday
and bound over to await the action
of the Grand Jury i'll the fall session.
