ChinaAnd JapanMay
Play Tennis Honors
If Eddie Tam Defeats MacLaren To-
morrow Championship Will Lie Be-
tween Him And Inada - Great IT.
terest In Local Tennis Circles

1t begins to look as if the big tennis
singles tournament Of Maui would
wind up as a championship contest
between Japan and China, represent
ed respectively by H. X. Inada and
Eddie F.. Tam. If Tam can dispose of
John MacLaren, next Saturday, this
will be the situation, for Inada has
already qualified for the finals.
The tournament has developed an
unusual amount of interest on Maui
among tennis enthusiasts. Starting
with 81 entries, the contest has rapid
ly narrowed down to the elimination
point. Those who have been watching
the playing of Tam very generally be-
lieve he will put it over MacLaren to-
morrow, as he did over Ray Rietow
last Sunday when he won handily
with a score of 6-2, 6-9.
Both Inada and Tam have develop
ed in a comparatively short time into
top-notchers in the local tennis field.
Inada's record is perhaps. the more
remarkable in that he has been play
ing for only about a year. He is said
to be about the best in foot work in
the county. Tam has also come to
the front fast, and there is keen in
terest in seeing the finals played of
between these two.

Filipino Sneak Thief
COnfesSeS Taking $77

Pedro Bats, a Filipino with a local
jail record, confessed TO the police
this week how he had robbed the
cash drawer of Fukuda's store, in
Waikapu, on Tuesday of ST in cur
renCy and coin contained in two
purses. He had previously seen the
take The key to the drawer
from another drawer and later in the
day had slipped in while no one was
looking and helped himself He has
purposely refrained from taking a
lot of other coin loose in the drawer
for fear that the jinsling of the mo-
ney would attract attention.
Two other Filipinos, Seliaco Elijah,
and one known as Filimeno, have al
so been arrested in connection with
the theft.
Bats came to the police station and
gave himself up on Thursday, after
he had learned that the search for
him was getting pretty warm. Only
about $35 of the original SIT was re-
covered when he was taken into
custody, the rest having been spent
or lost in gambling.

May Reclaim Swamp
AS New Fair Grounds
New Plan To Be Submitted This Af-
ternOOn-COst May Be PrOhibitive
Roger Barnham Makes Plans
For Present Grounds

When the directors of the Maui
County Fair and Racing Association
meet this afternoon for the purpose
of hearing a report of the committee
appointed several weeks ago to in
vestigate the matter of developing a
fair grounds at the old Kahului race
track, two propositions in the rough
are to be submitted. One of these
has to do with the present race track
and grounds, and the other, suggested
by C. B. Kinney, of Paia, calls for
developing the big area of marsh and
pond just east of Kahului, lying be-
tween the Kahului railroad and the
Kahului-Paia government road, into a
iair grounds and recreation center.
3urnham Submits Plan
Roger Noble Burnham, the lands
cape artist and architectural expert,
who was called to Maui by the COM
mittee to give his opinion on building
a fair grounds on the 1ace track site,
has submitted rough sketches of his
ideas on the subject. These call for
building q new race track further ma
llai on the present lot, with con-
venient grouping of buildings and
stables on the mauka side. The en-
trance of the grounds, under the pro
posed plan, would be from the Puu-
meme road, considerable distance fur
ther south than the present entrance,
Plans For Aquatic Features
The pond development idea of Mr.
Kinney has also made a strong i'm
Iression on the committee members,
who fear, however, that the cost will
he an obstacle that cannot be over
come. This suggestion contemplates
the filing in of sufficient area of the
swamp fer race track and fair pur
poses, reducing the pond in size and
confining it with suitable levee OF
dykes. The pond when cleaned and
sweolened would be devoted to vari
GUS aquatic sports, could be stocked
with tlsh, and its advocates believe
be made TO pay a good return on the
ir vestment.

HONOLULU, March 26-Today
ends the first half of the 1919 session
of the Hawaiian legislature, with con-
siderable work accomplished, but with
great deal more work to be done be-
fore thirty" can be written at the
end Of the legislative story.
On the whole, the Maui solons have
stood together very well, in spite of
the fact that there has been a split
in the delegation over the woman
suffrage and reapportionment ques-
lions. Nevertheless, the Valley Is
land members have put in lot of
good, hard, conscientious work. A
large majority of their measures
have been along the line Of public
mprovements-bills and resolutions
calling for money. Thus far these
bills have met with favorable con-
sideration at the hands of the COM
mittees. The results of their work
will be seen upon the final publica-
ton Of the list of measures signed by
the governor.
Suffrage Fate Predicted
AS this is written the house of rep
resentatives is on the eve of taking
final action on the woman suffrage
bill. Sometime this morning, it is
expected, the last vote will be taken
and the bill will either live or die,
whichever the majority deems best.
The 18th hour forecast is that the
measure will be defeated, and that
certain members of the house will go

Crowded House Listens With Close
Interest To Debate On Great
Question Of The Day By Four
Local Speakers
SCHOOL GIRLS IN PRETTY TABLEAU
Discussion Under Auspices Of Ami
mute Men Organization, Which
Plans To Hold Other Similar
Events From Time To Time

Between two and three hundred
people from all parts of central Maui
attended the debate on the proposed
league of nations, at the Kahului
Community House, on = Wednesday
evening. The number which attend
ed far exceeded the expectations of
the committee in charge. In spite of
tn fact that many chairs were brought
in from outside, many persons stood
throughout the entire meeting, being
unable to find seats.
The large attendance was evidence
f the general interest in the subject,
and this interest was further mani
tested in the close attention accorded
to each of the several speakers.
The discussion was given under the
auspices of the recently formed per-
manent organization of the erst-while
"4-Minute Men" of Maui who, during
the war, spoke in the theaters of
Maui under auspices of the federal
government. 1t was the first of what
it is hoped may be regular features in
the future, for discussion of live
topics of world, national, or local in
terest.
The meeting was presided over by
President r. A. Wadsworth who was
equipped with a push button connect
ed with large gong by means of
which he successfully confined each
debater to his limit of Is minutes.
The question in the form for dis
cussion, was-"Resolved, That the
proposed league of nations would not
be to the best interests of the United

Maui Must Hump If
She Wins This Year
Had Walk-0ver In Territorial Fair
Last Year But Will Have Keen
Competition This Time - Races
Will Be Special Feature
Especial to Maui News)

HONOLULU, March 24-Last year
the island of Maui won most of the
prizes at the big territorial fair. More
blue ribbons and awards went to the
people of that island because they
took the greatest interest In candy
making, in exhibitions of OIL butter,
and fats in meat substitutes, in jams,
jellies and vegetables, in fact in the
showing of everything from beans to
cattle, Maui folks were ahead when
the awards were made.
This year the task will be more
difficult because of the incentive Civ
en- by the territorial fair commission
TO all of the islands. Hawaiian floral
specimens, will be shown in a gorge
ously decorated building, and each of
the islands will enter more close
competition. The exhibitions for
Oahu and Maui will be held on Thurs
day of fair week, while that of Hawaii
will be held on Tuesday to make pos
sible a special judging. This is due
to steamer schedules.
Fine Horses Coming
The county fair on Maui will be
given special inducement from
horses breeders on the coast. The
fair commission is making efforts to
bring famous horses from the main
land, and their owners will be induc-
ed to stay over. At the territorial
fair purses which will aggregate
$4,000 will be provided. Already
eighteen events have been outlined
and this promises to be a feature of
the exhibition to increase the drawing
power of the fair itself.

April 20 and May A are the dates
set for the opening of the Junior and
Senior Baseball Leagues respectively
This was decided upon at a meeting
held by the Athletic Committee of
the Maui County Fair and Racing AS
sociation last Monday evening in the
chamber of commerce room. At this
session some forty fans were present.
With three Senior teams-Wailuku
Paia and the Kahului-Puunene COM
bination, fighting it out for the Ray
mond Cup; and the All-Stars, Asahis,
Chinese and st. Anthonys trying con-
clusions for the Theo. H. Davies &
Co., Ltd, gold watch fobs, the outlook
for a successful baseball season is
very promising. There is also a pos
sibility of team representing Wal
hee being admitted into the junior
circuit.
In the persons of Deputy Sheriff
George Cummings as umpire and
Widdifred F. Alfonso, scorer, the as
sociation counts itself fortunate in OBJ
tanning a brace of officials who know
their business. The latter who is a
newcomer, served as secretary and
official scorer of the Oahu Service
League last year and until few
months ago, was connected with the
Honolulu Advertiser.
With three to four weeks Of prac-
tice before them, there is no reason
why the different mines should not
make the 1919 baseball season the
best ever pulled out on the local
diamond.
Outlook Fine
While the outlook two or three
weeks ago was not considered very
favorable, the situation has changed
so that 1t seems assured that there
will be a first class season OF base
ball for central Maui. The appear
ance Of ST. Anthony School with a
team for the junior league was un-
expected, and yet is believed to great

some DdSeDdlI season.
Starting with only a moderat-
ely favorable outlook, it now
seems certain that this will be
the greatest season on record
for Maui.
The latest candidate for a
place in the senior league is La
haina. In fact word comes
from the west Maui capital that
folks over there are inclined to
feel little sore at having been
omitted in the original organiza-
ton.
Anyhow they want in now,
and offer to put d team in the
field that will ginger things up
this coming season Moreover
Lahaina hackers are willing to
stand transportation costs, which
has in previous years been on
of the chief obstacles.
There was another chief OBJ
stacle but things in Lahaina are
not what they used to be. In
fact Lahaina is once more
part of Maui wants to be known
as such.
Central Maui managers APP
pear to be enthusiastic over the
new proposal, and a meeting of
the athletic committee will
probably be held in few days
for the purpose of re-arranging
the schedule to take Lahaina in.

Unrest Growing Among

Police Wound Several in .yohan.
nesburg Clashes at Trial
of Leaders

LONDON, April b.-Increasing agi-
tation among the South African ma
tives, growing out of the recent trou-
bles In white labor circles, is report
ed by Reuters Johannesburg CORE
spondent, telegraphing under date Of
April 3. There is a movement among
the natives, backed by influential
chiefs, against the law requiring them
to possess registration passes, and the
authorities are rounding up the ring
leaders.
At the trial Of the ringleaders the
natives made demonstration outside
the magistrates court and were
charged by the police with bayonets.
Several natives were wounded and
many arrested.
In the native quarter, after a white
man was attacked and knocked down,
the police restored order after three
natives had been injured by rifle shots
and some of the whites also had been
injured.
