WA|MEA ELECTION
COMPLICATIONS

The 164 votes cast for F. p. Hurley
in the recent primary election as
against the 156 for Tn. Brandt gives
the former a clear majority and had
they been running on the same ticket
with no opponents he would have been
elected.
Mr. Hurley took the ground that he
was elected and made formal demand
on the County Clerk, J. M. Kaneakua
to grant him his certificate of election.
The County Clerk pointed out to him
the provision of the law that required
a majority of the votes cast, for elect
ion. which would mean 16S instead Of
164. The matter was referred to S.
X. Kaeo, the County Attorney, for his
professional opinion, which he render
ed to the effect that Hurley was elect
ed.
Mr.. Brandt being apprized of the
situation applied to the circuit court
and secured a mandamus to restrain
the county clerk from granting the
certificate of election, and proceed
with the regular election in accord
ance with the law-which has been
done and the election is in process
as we go to press.
Notice of appeal, based on unten-
able objections, has been denied, but
it will be possible to review the case
after the election on quo warranto"
basis. Presumably, however it will
be dropped as dead issue.

A High Class Movie

The moving picture presentation Of
Louise Allcott's Little Women" now
making the tour of the Island, is a
treat such as we do not often have. In
every respect it was practically ideal.
1t was at once bright, witty, pathetic,
inspiring and wholesome. The acting
was excellent. and setting most pic
turesque and true to life, being staged
in the actual surroundings of the Con-
cord home where the story was en-
acted.
There was an excellent audience.
No one should fail to see it if he has
a chance. Not to see 1t will be to
miss a treat.

The Peggy Center concert Friday
evening at the Tip Top was in every
respect the musical event of the
season. In addition to the delightful
singing of the talented young prima

universal praise. Everyone was also
very much pleased with the simple un-

Y NOTES

MT. Vi. A. fOunS, executive SeCre-
tary of the Boys Working Reserve,
has been touring the island with the
Kauai secretaries, speaking in schools
and at public gatherings, notably at
Hanalei, Kilauea, Kapaa, Lihue. Kala-
heo, Makaweli, Waimea and Kekaha.
In a number of these places moving
pictures were shown illustrating the
subject of Mr.. Youngs talk. Indicat-
ions are for a large enrolment on
Kauai this year.
Besides speaking in the interests of
the Reserve, Mr.. Young gave several
splendid, brief addresses on character
building at four Filipino clubs, Kala-
heo Bible Glass, and the Sunday Even
ing Club at Lihue. There was an at
tendance of forty at the latter. The
club has developed fine orchestra in
addition to the good singing Of the
boys.
One of the most notable events Of
the week was the Reserve meeting
and basket ball game at Kilauea on
Thursday evening. The Kauai high
school was mobilized en- masse with
the kind assistance of their friends, to
Kalihiwai Bay where a sunset picnic
was enjoyed. At seven o'clock the
party of more than fifty repaired to
Kilauea social hall which was jammed
to the doors with eager spectators. A
careful counting Of the crowd found
it to number 600. To this number Mr..
Young told his story to sympathetic
ears. Owing to an accident only two
reels of pictures could be shown, but
the basket ball game to follow more
than made up forthe loss.
With the crowd banked up against
the walls and gallery the Kauai high
school team joined battle with lusty
five representing Kilauea. Both teams
surprised themselves and the specta-
ors by putting up a fast game mott
withstanding they are both novices
in basket ball. There was some rough
ness which was scarcely avoidable
owing to the limited floor space al
lowed by the spectators. Aside from
this the playing was fast from start
to finish and some very pretty basket
shooting was done on both sides. The
first half ended in a score OF 10-9 with
Lihue one point in the lead. The
second half was almost as close and
the total score remained in the high
schools favor by the narrow margin
of 1913. A return game will be play
ed at Lihue soon.
Baseball had the from page on Sat
urday when four school games were
played at Lihue as follows: Kapaa 10
VS. Kekaha s; Lihue 2S VS. Makaweli
s; Kapaa 10 VS. Makaweli 4; Lihue II
VS. Kekaha s. Notwithstanding the
fact that the visitors from the sunny
side were defeated in both games,
they were good sports to the finish
and evidently enjoyed the days out.

The High School Hikes

Under the leadership of Mr.. Lyd-
gate, the high school pupils and a
number of friends, made the hike to
the summit camp of the Wainiha pole
.yous at the Lihue Store little after
six o'clock they reached the Kanaha
crossing on the North Branch of the
Wailua a little after eight o'clock
this portion of the trip being made by
truck and motor car. Here they set
out in good spirits, afoot, for the top
good TRAIL and it was beautiful day,
much drier under foot than it gen.
orally is in the mountains. Most of
them, however had discounted the
fact that there was a climb of nearly
1000 feet thrown in with the distance
AS the way dragged on. and the top
was still some distance off, they were
convinced that it was six, or even
ten, miles instead of three. Some of
the fastest and sturdiest of the boys
made it in less than two hours, while
some of the more leisurly took two
hours and half. The average was
two hours.
The view from the top is superb,
commanding everything from Kapaa
clear around to the Gap, back of
Koloa, as well as the mountain fast
ness of Makaleha on one side, and
Waialeale on the other. But the fine
supply of COOL clear water in the
tanks at the little house, awakened
more interest and drew far more
praise than the wonderful view.
Some sharp eyes spotted a single,
lone Hawaiian palm in the jungle; a
very rare find, to be seen very sell
dome, and at high elevations only.
The return to Kanaha was made in
somewhat less time than the ascent,
and brought very hungry band, SO
in number, all told, to a very welcome
and substantial lunch consisting of
broiled wiener wurst saussages, broil-
ed bacon, hot rice, coffee, etc. And if
anyone thinks that wasn't feast fit
for king, it is simply because he
wasn't there to partake Of it.
While the lunch was in process, a
good sized freshet came down the
river from the mountains, having TAX
en- about three hours in the coming,
and made a flank movement that cut
in on the rear and made an island of
the temporary camp. and threatened
to drown it out.
The party reached home along
about five in the afternoon so thor
oughly pleased with the outing that a
whole series has been tentatively
planned for next year.
The whole affair did credit to the
capacity and organization of the young
people-the boys provided the trans.
portation, and the girls, the lunch
and everything went through all right

Adriano Sandel and Maxima Ybares,

usual $50 and $40 respectively, with
cost added. Being out of funds, the
pair are languishing in the County

his wrath. In court Gabino was quite

wharf last Friday by Deputy Sheriff
Lowell, with five tins of opium, extra.

concealed on his person. The tins
were promptly confiscated and Annoy
gently requested to put up $3.50 bail
for his appearance in court on Satur-
day. Annoy complied with the request,
raising $50 silver dollars among
friends and was given his freedom.
When the case was called in court,
Annoy had flown and his bail was de-
clared forfeited as county realization.
Five times $3.50 equals $500 and plus
$3.50, reaches the pretty sum of $3.50.

and all were given a stiff lecture by

apparently sincere vow, a three
months suspended sentence was met

MCBRYDE WINS
HAPA| KO CONTEST

Over five tons of cane, loaded on the
cars in 80 minutes, under ordinary
field conditions. That is the record of
the McBryde "Hapai 10" team, con.
sisting of two cane leaders f1om Nc
Bryde plantation who finished first in
the preliminary cane loading contest
at Lihue last Saturday at p. m.
Great interest was displayed in the
contest. All plantations on Kauai
were represented, except Kilauoa and
Waimea plantations. Lihue and Grove
Farm were represe nted by two teams
each, but nevertheless were unable to
pull out ahead of the sturdy, well
coached team from McBryde. Both LII
hue teams however were able to take
second and third place in the contest,
while Grove Farm filled the fourth
position.
Plantation people turned out in large
numbers to witness the contest, sew
eral hundred people being present, in
cluing the managers from most Of the
plantations on the island.
The conditions of the contest were
that all should start loading even and
at the same time. Each team consist
ed of two men. Loading was continu-
ed for thirty minutes, at the end of
which time the team having loaded the
greatest weight of cane was judged
the winner. Two "Hapai 10" boards
were allowed, which permitted the
men to load from two sides of the car.
Pinning up of the cane was allowed
after the contest was over, so that the
cane loaded would not fall off in tram
sit to the mill in order to be weighed.
This gave the McBryde team an ad-
vantage, in that some of the other
teams did not understand this con-
dition and did a good of pinning dur
tomary under ordinary field conditions.
Pinning after the contest was allowed
at the Eva preliminaries on Oahu, and
the McBryGe team took advantage Of
the point to get their cars loaded
quickly depending on pinning up the
load after the contest. Had compact
ness of the load at the end of the con-
test been taken into consideration, Nc
Bryde would have stood little chance
to win.
The official results of the contest as
the cane was weighed at the mill i'm
mediately after the contest, are as
fo11owc.
The Garden Island. [volume] (Lihue, Kauai, H.T.) 1902-current, 1919-06-03

Even Maxwell, though they stood
lowest, loaded mora cane in thirty min
utes than did the crack Eva team,
which took first place in the Oahu
contest Although conditions make
a lot of difference, it looks as il the
Kauai team has good chance to clean
up in the big inter-island contest to be
held at the fair next week. The load
ers from McBryde loaded over two
tons more in the prelim;naries than
the best Oahu team.
Next week the McBryde team will
go to Honolulu to represent Kauai in
the big contest. The Kauai team will
compete with the best team from each
of the other islands. Kauai has a
good team. II good coach is sent
with them they should win the contest.

American Legion
Were Quick to Act

In recognition of the bravery Of
Wisconsin troops In overseas actions
one of the cannon captured from the
Germans was presented to- the city OF
Milwaukee thru the fundamentally
of the war department. The gift was
accepted, but the cannon, instead OF
being assigned a prominent position
in one of Milwaukee's numerous and
beautiful parks, was stationed in an
obscure corner in the least accessible
recreation grounds. BY whose orders
does not appear; but Milwaukee has
a. very large German-speaking popu-
lation and Mayor Hoan Is known to
have been lukewarm in his support of
war conducted against the father
land.
Milwaukee awoke the other morn
ing to find the cannon planted in the
downtown section, in front of
theater owed by a family with a
Teutonic name and in which German
opera was being produced contrary
to the expressed disapproval Of men,
bers of the American Legion living in
the Wisconsin metropolis. The can
non bore placard. It read This
cannon was captured from the Huns
in Europe on-(giving the date);
recaptureds by the American Legion
in Milwaukee on October 30,1919."
The cannon may not remain stand
ing in the downtown streets in Mil
waukee, but it is safe to assume that
hereafter it will be prominently in
the view of park visitors. The re-
buke was neatly administered. There
seems to be a heap of Americanism
in Milwaukee of which the Hoans
and the Bergers have not taken full
cognizance.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Women Ask Change
In Labor Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Partic-
ipation of women in the international
labor conference was favored today
in a resolution adopted by the in
ternational congress of working
women, urging amendment of the
Versailles treaty to that end. 1t
asked that Article III of the treaty
be so altered that each national dele
cation to the conference should in
clude two women, one representing
labor and one representing the gov
eminent.
The resolution commencing an
eight hour day which was adopted
Saturday and referred backf to COM
mittee for revision, also was finally
adopted today. 1t follows:
''The first International Congress
of Working women requests the first
International Congress of Labor. of
the league of nations that an inter-
national convection establish:
"First-For all workers a maxi
mum eight-hour day and forty-four
hour week.
'Second-That the weekly rest
period shall have an uninterrupted
duration of at least one day and
half.
"Third-That In continuous in
dustries a minimum rest period of
one-half hour shall be accorded to
each eight-hour shift"

Pershing Talks IS
of Red Cross
Continued from page one

in Europe, Major Murphy and Major
Perkins, and myself, got together
and discussed the question as to
how we could best aid the French
army and the French people. We
visited Marshal Petain's headquarters
and told him of our desire to give
him assistance in his very difficult
job. Marshal Petain had fallen to
the command of the French armies
after their failure earlier in the
spring. No man during the war has
been faced with graver task than
that which fell to this distinguished
general.
HE expressed his very deep ap-
probation that we should come to
him with on offer of assistance, and
the plan was outlined there at the
meeting by which large cOntribu-
ton was to be given for the assist
ance of families of soldiers of the
French armies serving in the ranks.
There were many of them who were
destitute and a destitute family in
the rear is not very encouraging to
the soldier fighting at the front.
SO the plan was that Marshal Pc
tain decided to ascertain, thru his
military organization, who the in
dividuals were who needed assistance
the most, and having done this, the
estimate was made Of the funds
needed, and they were turned over
to him for distribution. This not
only helped to build up the morale
of the French soldiers, serving in the
ranks during that dreadful winter,
but it aided Marshal Petain in es-
tablishing for himself a prestage
which would help him to carry for
ward the campaign the following
year.
Moreover the Red Cross, thru
that act, has place in the hearts of
the French army and the French
people which will be everlasting.
"This is only one of the things
that the Red Cross did during the
war"

Scope of Fourteenth
Census is Extended

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-That the
fourteenth decennial census, on
which the actual enumeration work
will begin January 2, 1920, is to be
the most important ever taken is
shown by the fact that the act of
congress providing for this census ex-
pressly increased the scope of the in
quiries so as to include forestry and
forest products, two subjects never
covered specifically by any preceding
census act
The inquiries to be made relating
to population, manufacturers, mines,
quarries and agriculture were also
extended in their scope by congress,
the keenest interest over the forth
coming census having been shown by
the members of the census commit
tees of both the house and senate
while the law was under considera
ton.
The statistics gathered on mining
will include all oil and gas wells.
Many startling developments in this
important branch of the nations re-
sources are looked for by census Of
ficials. The figures gathered in
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will no
doubt prove to be those most eagerly
sought for, as shown by inquiries al
ready received by the census bureau.
The compilation and gathering of
forestry and forest products stastis-
tics will be in charge of special
force of experts. The accurate and
comprehensive figures gathered con-
corning this vital natural resource
will be much in demand, and the
comparisons made with conditions
existing before the war will be in
great interest.
Agricultural statistics will like
wise be the subject of special effort
on the part of the census bureau as
the importance of farming is being
realized by the average citizen far
more than ever before.

interested in developing city or
community on sound commercial and
economical lines will find 1t great
treat to meet one Of these men, T.
A. Stevenson, and hear his statements
or discussion of their methods OF
working.
They have a corps of men working
at Nampa and the editor Of The Re-
publican spent one day and part of q
night studying these matters with
them and succeeded in getting one
of the men to come to eastern Idaho
and to Blackfoot.
The difference between CONNER
cial club organized and conducted by
the men of a town, where they have
not had special preparations and
teachings for that work and the
commercial club conducted by a
town that has been taught the best
that the world knows on the subject,
is as wide as the difference between
a school boy plunging into.a CONNER
cial business without experience and
with only school training, and the
shrewd student Of commercial science
who has learned about all there is in
modern commerce.
Mr.. Stevenson will meet Some of
the men of the town at the. city hall
on Monday evening at 1870 to explain
to them why most commercial clubs
die, and why commercial clubs prop
erly organized and properly managed
in the interest of the whole c0mmun-
ity live on and accomplish their pur-
poses without waste of effort and
money. Each man who is interested
from the above statement is invited
to be present. The invitation is not
so broad that everybody. is invited.
Each man will decide for himself
whether he is invited, by deciding
whether he is interested. The man
who waits to be urged will not be
there and he will not be missed.
The conference will begin at 1870
and it will not be long session un-
less it is made long by men getting
interested and asking for, more on
the subject. =.
