Drowned at Pukaulua

A serious accident happened on
Saturday which resulted fatally to a
Filipino from Malumalu in the employ
of Grove Farm. Four of them took a
day off and went down to Pukaulua,
near Nawiliwili, fishing. In their ig-
noracne of the treacherous character
of the place they ventured out into the
seaward side of the blowhole, and
while they were absorbed in their fish
ing a big swell rolled in through the
cavern underneath, boiled up through
the cauldron and swept them all off
into the sea. Three of them succeeded
in scrambling ashore, but one of them,
failed to do so and was drowned.
This Pukaulua is a dangerous place
1t was there that Alohikea was drown
ed year or two ago.
Moral: Don't go fishing there
Moral second: Don't go fishing when
you ought to be at work.

Air Officers Here
Hunting Landings

Maj. j. B. Brooks, Capt. W. e. Lewis
and Lieut.. d. G. Duke, officers of the
aviation service stationed at Luke
Field, Oahu arrived on Kauai last
Friday morning for the purpose of in
vestigating the landing facilities for
land and sea planes.
Major Brooks is not very enthus-
iastic over what he has seen in the
wey of landing places for sea planes.
Hanalei bay is said to be the most
favorable place for this purpose, while
Wailua River is entirely out of the
question, there not being enough room
to maneuver the plane.
The major stated that the Waipouli
race track is a good field for land
planes, but, of course, these machines
would have to be shipped to Kauai and
transported to the field.
The officers are returning to Homo
lulu this evening.

The Horner Lecture

Foster Horner's lecture last night,
on his personal experiences during the
war proved a decided success. A large
and interested audience listened with
absorbed attention to the first-hand
detail of experiences in France. AS
aid-de-camp to Brigadier-General J. B.
Mcdonald, commander of the 101st
Brigade, Foster saw active service in
the Argonne region. With the aid of
large map he traced the movements
of the American troops, and in addi-
ton told so many interesting personal
experiences of hear-breadth escapes,
that the audience was kept on the
,qui-vive.
He also told amusing stories that
were new to the people.
Mr.. Philip Rice introduced the
speaker, and told in outline the mean
ing and aim of the American Legion,
which is to make 100 per cent Ameri-
canism the ideal of the Legion

DEATH FROM CHOLERA

A cable message from Manila con-
tanned the sad news of the sudden
death from cholera of H. Andermann
Jr., recently. Mr.. alderman was
born in Lihue and received his edu-
cation here. For many years he was
in the Lihue mill as assistant engineer,
and from there was transferred to
Hanamaulu, where he became mill
manager. Last spring he resigned
and accepted a very good position on
a sugar plantation in the Philippines.
His untimely death comes as a shock
to his large circle of friends on Kauai.
He leaves a wife and three promising
sons to mourn his loss. They are at
present in Honolulu, though they had
planned TO join Mr. alderman in
Manila soon.

Free Again g.?

-
The Richards embezzlement case
came up in the Circuit Court on Friday
and resulted in an acquital by the jury.
A good deal was made of the shady
character of the Congress Mining
Company and its methods, so that
even if there was any embezzlement
it was only a matter of one sharper
against another, and the public were
not particularly concerned 1t was not
clear that there was any technical
embezzlement, and the defendant was
given the benefit of the doubt.
Richards is not yet out of the woods,
however, as there is another charge of
embezzlement standing against him
which will come up in a few days be-
fore the district court.

Sugar Shortage

There is an alarming scarcity of
sugar throughout most of the Mainland
due partly to the shortage of the sugar
crop in certain sections, but mainly to
the failure of the administration to
secure the Cuba crop when it was
available. This has now gone mostly
to Europe, and America is suffering
In many sections the scarcity is so
great that retailers are allowing their
customers only pound or two at
time, and throughout Indiana the pub
lie sugar bowl has been banished from
the table in all hotels and restaurants
to limit the use, and prevent cribbing

will have no chance to get acquainted
with their mount.
An event which should draw a lot
of applause is Wilson, the horse with
the college education. This horse is
the most accomplished horse ever
shown in the Territory. and probably
equal to if not better than any horse
on the mainland. Wilson, under the
direction of Mr.. Harris, will perform
for ten or fifteen minutes.
The relay race for cowboys will
furnish as much real amusement and
enjoyment as any event on the pro-
entries, each entry to have four
horses tied to the fence near the start
ing point. The men must saddle a
horse, ride a quarter of a mile, then
ride back to the starting point, saddle
ard ride another horse. The first man
to get back to the starting point after
saddling and riding his fourth horse
wins the race.
The flag, or pony express race. as
it is sometimes called, needs no ex-
planation, but will furnish some splen-
did exhibitions of borsemanship judg-
ing from the enteries already received.
Grown ups will not alone be taken
care of for the children are also COM
ing in for their share of the amuse-
ments and sports. There will be some
thing doing all day for them in a sec
ton of the field specially reserved for
them. The climax for their sports
will be free for all chase for the
creased pig. Mr.. Philip Rice has
kindly offered to furnish the pig, the
Nawiliwili Garage will furnish the
grease and Mr.. Sahr, the Land Com
N issioner for this Island, has offered
to grease it.
One point which the committee
wishes to make clear to the public is
the matter of reserT ed parking space
AS no grand stand is being erected,
machines will be parked in and around
lHS SpdCc OCCuoicu IL hlo
space is the reserved parking space for
which an additional charge of rs cents
VIII be made to the general parking
space charge of rs cents.
In order that every one may have a
cir chance for the best space, reserv-
ations are not being made ahead.
Those wishing the reserved parking
space may pay the additional charge
at the gate and draw from a box the
number of the space they are to oc-
cupy. This will give those who come
from a distance the same chance for
the best parking space as those who
have not so far to travel.
Everyone should attend, and help in
every way to make this event as
memorable as the day which it cele-
brates.
