Making Auto Stands
Of Street Protested
Chamber OF Commerce And Grand Jury
Ask Supervisors To Prohibit Park
king Of Rent Cars On Public
ThOrOughfareS

On the theory that the tragic death
OF little Melvin Clark, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Clark, of Makawao was
due in part at least to the congestion
'aused by the fleet of rent sery
automobiles parked along Market
street, strong effort is te be made
TO abolish the practice of such park
ing on any of the streets or roads of
the county
At its meeting on last Tuesday af-
ternoon the chamber of commerce
adopted resolution calling upon the
board of supervisors to pass an ordin-
ance prohibiting the use of the streets
in Wailuku and Lahaina as auto
stands for cars in the rent service;
and the same day the End circuit
court grand jury recommended to the
supervisors that the practice be pro
hibited throughout the county.
The matter is to be brought before
the Maui automobile association and
it is believed that like resolution
will be adopted by that body
At the present time there are no
automobile stands in Maui such as
there are in Honolulu, and dozens of
rent service cars habitually make use
VI the streets of Wailuku, Lahaina
and other towns for this purpose. On
Market street, in Wailuku, both sides
of the street are ordinarily packed al
most solid with these cars, reducing
the traffic area and preventing persons
in private machines from driving along
side the curb.

Capt. Frank A. Lufkin has been
asked to undertake the organization
on Maui of a post of the American
Legion. This is a new national body
composed of men AMI women who

The new organization, which prom
ises to be factor ir the future OF
the nation, is non-political, but stands
for 100 percent Americanism. 1t has

Soon To Start

Archie Z. Lister one of the best
known pineapple cannery men of the
territory, will come to Maui in the
course of a few weeks to assume
charge as superintendent of the fact
ory to be built at Kuiaha by the new
Pauwela Pineapple Company. For the
past dozen years or more he was SUI
perintendent of the Pearl City Fruit
Co., on Oahu.
AT the present time Mr.. Lister is
in California, having resigned from
the Pearl City company some six
months ago on account of his health
Charles Mel, manager of the Pauwela
company states that Ir. Lister comes
to Maui on one years contract and
may be here longer. Since going to
the mainland Lister has become en-
gagged in the fig growing business and
does not wish to come back to the Is
lands for an indefinite period.
Mr. Lister is especially well known
in the pineapple trade on account of
number of inventions made by him
which are today practically indispensi-
Bile in the canning of the fruit.
Plans and specifications for the new
cannery buildings are about finished
in the Offices of Dickey & Wood, of
Honolulu, by Milton T. Clark, a well
known architect and engineer of San
Francisco, who recently came to the
Islands. The main building will prob
ably be of concrete, or of steel and
concrete construction.

W. A. Clark'S Little
Son Killed By Auto
Runs In Front OF Machine On Mar
ket Street Meets Almost Instant
Death-BOy'S Mother Witnesses
Awful Tragedy

With an ice-cream cone in each
hand which he had just bought in the
Maui Drug Store on Market street,
little Melvin Alexander Clark, S-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Clark,
of Grove Ranch, was almost instantly
killed last Sunday afternoon by an
automobile as he was running across
the street. The boys mother was sit
ting in her own machine a few rods
distant and witnessed the terrible
accident.
The machine which struck the boy
was a Hudson car owned by the Maui
Garage & Transportation Co., and was
driven at the time by Yeck Man, an
experienced Chinese driver. 1t was
loaded with dozen or more small
Chinese children, and was one of the
three cars carrying the children of a
Chinese society for an excursion to
Puunene.
The car had just started with it's
load and is said to have been running
at between 10 and Il miles an hour
when the little Clark boy ran out of
the drug store and directly in the way
The driver swerved to the right but
struck the child with his left fender
hurling him to the street with such
force that his skull was crushed by
the fall. He was picked up and rush
ed to Malulani hospital but died before
reaching there.
After the car struck the boy it ran
up on the sidewalk where it was final
ly stopped. The brakes are reported
to have been found defective.
Much sympathy has been expressed
for the bereaved family, particularly
for Mrs. Clark who suffered such a
shock from witnessing the tragedy
that she has been under a physicians
care since.
The funeral of the little victim was
held on Monday afternoon from the
family home, interment being in the
Makawao cemetery. 1t was very large
ly attended.

William DESMOND, of the public
works department, arrived on Maui
yesterday from Molohai where he
made an inspection of the wharves at
Pukoo and Kamalo, c0ncernng which
much complaint has recently been
made to the department The last
named wharf, Mr.. DESMOND states, is
in poor condition, while the Pukoo
landing is not so bad. In fact the
engineer states, Honolulu has a num-
.eI of wharves that are in worse con-
dition. 1t is the intention of the de
partment to repair thp Molokai land
ings at once.
While on Maui Mr.. DESMOND, in
company with Hugh Howell, looked
over the Mala wharf site at Lahaina
The test borings for this structure
have been completed and are said to
be very favorable. Mr.. DESMOND un-
derstands that it is the intention to
proceed as fast as possible with the
designing and drafting of plants for
the wharf so that bids may be called
for as soon as the money is availa-
BILE from the next sale of territorial
bonds. Lack of a sufficient force of
engineers and craftsmen in the public
works department, however, is hold
ing back all kinds OF engineering
work of the territory, and this seems
to be the determining factor at the
present time.

Maui Fair Had Best
Livestock Show Yet
Chairman LOrrin Smith Gives Interest

Cattle Than At California State
Fair--Fine Outlook For Future

Chairman LorTin Smith, in charge
of the livestock show at the county
fair, declared that the recent Maui
exhibition not only eNcelled any. pre-
vious show of the kind held in the
territory, but that in some depart
ments at least it was far ahead of the
great state fair of California held some
weeks ago. Mr.. Smith has written an
interesting review of his department,
which is follows:
AS Chairman of the Livestock Ex-
hibit of the Maui County Fair held
October 9Th, 10th, and 11th, 1919,
wish to thank one and all for their
hearty cooperation. Maui certainly
has this advantage, i. e., each and
every one did his utmost to make the
livestock exhibit at the Fair a success
do not believe that there has as yet
in the Hawaiian Islands been such a
grand lot of livestock together. The
draft, grades, males,
teams, cattle of all breeds, and hogs
We're a credit not only to Maui but
to all the Islands. Few counties in
the States could have produced an ex-
hibit that could compare with ours not
only with the exhibit hut with as fine
spirit and cooperation.

WORK ON FAIR
BUILDING PROGRESSES

Work has resumed this week on the
territorial building at the county fair
grounds, which was suspended during
the time of the fair. 1t has been de-
cided to have the side lanais added
as called for in the original plans, al
though it had been the intention to
dispense with them as a measure of
economy Both the improved appear
ance OF the building as well as in
creas-I utility seems to justify the
added expense, however, and so it will
be.

Big Mauna LOa Lava
Flow Still Keeps Up

Judging from the heavy haze which
persists throughout the Islands, the
activity of Mauna Loa continues as
great as ever 1t has been just four
weeks since the eruption began.
The tremendous flow of lava down
through Kona into the sea stopped
about week ago, but last reports
from Hawaii are that the eruption has
simply shifted little and that the
flow has been diverted towards Kau.
Owing to the gentle slope OF the
country in that direction the several
streams of lava are SAID to be moving
only a few hundred yards a day, in
striking contrast to the 2O-mile an
hour stream of two weeks ago
Owing to smoke and clouds, and the
exceeding ruggedness OF the country,
il has not been easy for those who
have attempted it, to reach the pres
ent flow and its source, and those few
who have, have not been able to very
clearly to indicate its position.

Jury Disqualified
Justice Mill Stops
Court Holds Jury List Was Not Sc
lected According To Law-Many
Cases May Hold Over Till Next
Year

Business in the second circuit court
is at a stand-still as a result of the
entire trial jury panel being declared
illegal by an opinion of Judge Burr
on Wednesday afternoon.
In this opinion the court sustained
a motion to quash made by Attorney
E. Murphy who raised the contention
that the list from which the jury had
been drawn had been selected by the
jury commissioners without heed to
the law requiring thai the selection be
made pro rata from the 22 electoral
districts of the county. The question
was raised Immediately upon the open
ing of the court session Wednesday
morning, and the day was taken up
with hearing testimony in support of
the motion.
c. d. Lufkin and D. C. Lindsay, the
jury commissioners, testified that they
had canvassed the list of voters of
the county by districts and had been
unable at first to find the required 100
men believed to be qualified as jurors.
Then they had gone over the lists be-
fore them without special reference
to where they came from, and selected
some more men, they decided after
investigation were elegible as jurors
The court held that in this they had
erred, even though the result might
be the same.
Court Business At StandstilI
The law provides fer the drawing of
juries in case the commissioners have
failed to furnish a 6st; and also in
case the list becomes exhausted, but
whether it applies in this contingency
seems to be doubtful. Although there
is quite heavy criminal calendar and
large number of civil jury suits wait
ing to be heard, it seems TO be the
opinion of attorneys that all will have
tie stand over till the next term of
court which will begin next January.
Hospital Work Delayed
Among other things that will be
held up until next year by the dis
qualification of the jury panel, is the
starting of condemnation proceedings
against the Smith estate to secure
land needed for the proposed extern
sion of Malulani hospital. 1t has been
hoped that title to the land would
have been acquired by that time so
that work could begin very soon after
January /.
