Rubber Plantation
May Grow Bananas
NsAiku Rubber Co. Directors Endorse
Plan of W. A. Anderson To Take
Over HOldings-Big Profits lndi-
dicated.

A proposition to take over the lands
of the Nahiku Rubber Company, Ltd,
on the east coast of Maui for the pur-
pose of converting them into a banana
plantation, has recently been endorsed
by the directors of the company, and
is now up to the stockholders. In
case the action of the directors is ap-
proved, the company will sell its prop
etry in the Nahiku district to banana
growing company to be organized by
w. A. Anderson, formerly manager OF
the rubber company, but now resi-
dent of Honolulu.
Mr.. Anderson, who has been engag-
ed in the banana shipping business
for several years, states that he has
definite assurance of the needed trans
portation for bananas, as well as am
pie backing of mainland capital He
proposes trading to shareholders of
the rubber company stock, share for
share, stock in his new company at
par value of $15. Or he will agree
to purchase back all shares in the new
company so issued, within one year,
at SO per share.
The holdings of the rubber company
aggregate about $50 acres. Since the
company definitely abandoned the at
tempt to produce rubber on a paying
basis, some years ago, the lands have
been leased for ranch purposes but
have not been returning sufficient to
pay interest and taxes.
Would Produce Banar as
There is little doubt that the lands
would produce bananas of high quail
ity as wild bananas grow abundantly
all over that part of the island. Mr..
Anderson presents a tentative pros
pectus which looks very attractive,
He quotes the u. S. experimental sta
ton that the average yield of bananas
is $4,000 pounds a year. The lowest
price in the past 10 years has been
1.63 cents and highest, $40 cents.
Taking the low price of 2 cents he
shows gross income of $64O
per acre, or from the $50 acres which
he purposes planting, total income
from the first crop of 5416,000.
He deducts 25 percent for losses,
and estimates the cost of clearing
planting, harvesting, buildings, tools
equipment, ETC., at 100000, leaving a
profit from the first crop of $4,000.

How To Get JurieS
Is Legal Puzzle
Judge Burr To Draw Jury Next Week
Which Will Probably Be ChalIen-
ged As To Legality--Next Years
JurieS Also Question

y new trial jury for the second cir
cult court is to be drawn by Judge l..
l.. Burr and Clerk Harry Mossman at
10 o'clock next Monday morning, ac-
cording to an order and published
notice by the court. The jury is in
tended to take the place of the regu-
lar panel of jurors which was dis
qualified by Judge Burr's ruling last
week on grounds that the jury com
missioners, G. d. Lufltin and d. T.
Carey, had not made up the jury list
pro rata according to registration OF
voters in the different voting pre-
cincts.
From comments of attorneys il
seems doubtful if this new jury which
Judge Burr purposes drawing to finish
out the 1919 term of court will be
permitted to pass unchallenged The
question will possibly be raised as tc
the legality of the procedure under
the present circumstances.
Next Term Jures In Doubt
Another question has been raised
as to where the 1920 term juries are
to come from. Under an act passed
by the last legislature it is said thai
the jury list shall be compiled from
the new registration list, but mas
much as there are no elections for {
good many months there has beer
practically no registration of voters
up to the present time. The new
term of court opens in January How
the puzzle is to be solved no one a!
yet seems to know.

County Fair Assets
Total Near $4,000
Attendance At Last Fair Exceeds Ex-
pectatiOnS Proceeds Net About
$4,000 - Committee Report Is
Highly Pleasing.

Showing a net profit of a little un-
der $4,000 from the last fair, and the
association now with property worth
conservatively $4,000, the executive
committee of the Maui County Fair
q Racing Association submitted a re-
port at the meeting held last Friday
afternoon that was highly gratifying
to all the members present. Much
work still remains to De done to carry
out the plans already agreed upon.
This will be pushed as rapidly as
possible When finished, the commit
tee estimates that there will be in
debtedness against the association of
about $33,OOO
The report shows tnat the returns
from the grand stand and buildings,
based upon the results of the recent
fair, will be sufficient to pay for them
in four or five years and it is be-
lieved that sufficient returns will be
secured from rental of buildings and
grounds for miscellaneous purposes
during the year will be sufficient to
meet interest charges and upkeep
The association instructed the com
mittee to continue the work along the
plans as started, and authorized the
borrowing of not to exceed $4,000 to
finish the work undertaken.
The attendance at the last fair, as
well as other features, the executive
committee indicated mad well exceed
ed expectations.

was decided upon by the racing COM

CAPT. FISCHER
 SPEAKS BEFORE
 LUNCHEON CLUB

That the valiant stand made by the United States marines in the Chateau Thierry sector in June, 1918, marked the turning point in the war, was the declaration of Capt. c. z. Lescher, University of Arizona grad uate, who spoke at the Warren Dis trict Luncheon club meeting yester- day noon. Up until this time the Germans were the aggressors, the speaker said, but when the Hun hordes were turned back by the army that had never been taught the mean ing of retreat, the tide of battle changed and from then until the end of the war the allies took the bit in their teeth and remained on the of fensive.
 Many interesting stories of the great war were told by Captain Lescher. In one battle his company entered with 1855 men and when the Germans had been driven back, all but 13 had given the supreme sacri- flee.
 Captain Lescher emphasized the fact that with the war over America still has a great work ahead in stamping out the Bolshevism, which is first cousin to the I. w. w. ele- ment:

SIGN TREATY, SENATE URGED
 BY MINORITY
Administration Supporters on Foreign Relations Committee See Huns Restored to Power
 If Treaty Is Not Ratified

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11-With
 submission of the foreign relations
 committee minority report, the peace
 treaty. with its covenant for a league
 of nations, was made ready today
 for the ratification battle to be waged
 about it in the senate By general
 agreement this will not begin until
 Monday Meanwhiles however, Re publicans, claiming enough votes to prevent ratification without reserva- tions, were urged by Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee to stay on the job until final disposi- tion is made of the treaty, weeks hence perhaps.
 With as little formality as that at tending the presentation yesterday of the majority report, Senator Hitchcock, leader of the administra- tion forces, today submitted the minority report signed by all Demo- cratic members of the committee ex- cept Senator Shields of Tennessee, who stood out for reservations.
 Without attempting specifically t0 answer majority charges against cer- tain provisions of the covenant as T dent Wilson, the minority urged speedy adoption without modification or in precisely the form laid before the senate two months ago. Rejec- tion or change, the report declared, meant loss to this country of all concessions obtained from the enemy by a dictated peace, including Ger many's acknowledgement of respons- ibility for the war.
 The report declared that Germany, once having signed the treaty, might not be disposed to sign it again.
 The minority at the outset charged that the treaty could have been re- ported out long ago by the commit tee, which was trying to destroy it by reservations. No reference was made to Republican attacks on the award of Shantung province to Japan or the inequality of the voting power in the league for the United States as compared with Great Fri tain. The report set forth defense and explanation of the league cove nant, described as the best hope of the world, "even if like all human instumentalities it be not divinely perfect in every detail"
 Deploring delay to which the docu- ment had been subjected, the report asserted that the industrial world was in ferment, the financial world in doubt and this was caused "by the majority of a committee known to be out of harmony with the majority of the senate and the majority of the people"
 Formal reporting of majority and views was of secondary in- terest, however, to continuation of private conferences by Republicans in efforts to agree upon a comprom- ise reservation program. Senators active in the negotiations said com plete agreement was near-one which would insure support of all 49 and probably a number of Democrats. This program does not contemplate formal or informal an nouncement of compromise in the near future and probably will not | until the close of discussion of the treaty, when reservations will be in order.
