Pineapple Season
Rearing Its Apex
New Cannery Expected To Relieve
Situation In Another Week-H. F.
& P. Co., Handling Tremendous
TOnnage-Can Shortage ,

Within another week the pineapple
crop of the Haiku district is expected
to be at it's height, and to hold the
high water mark for perhaps the rest
of his month. For the past week or
10 days tht Haiku Fruit & Packing
Co.'S cannery has been working to
about full capacity but has managed
to keep slightly ahead of the big ton
mage wHch is pouring in upon it.
AS y1igh as $40 tons of fruit have
be'h handled in one day and this will
p oably be exceeded next week. Near
ID, 10000 cases have been packed on
one or two days in the past week.
The new cannery of the Pauwela
Pineapple Co., which has been delay
ed to considerable extent by difficulty
in getting building materials, is now
under steam, and the machinery is
rapidly being placed. 1t is expected that
it will begin canning within the next
few days, and after it has caught the
swing will be able to greatly relieve
the situation.
The new Baldwin Canneries at La
haina, has been working well up to
its capacity for the past two weeks.
The season is little earlier on West
Maui so that this pack is somewhat
further along than on the windward
side. The fruit is brought in from
Honolua by rail.
Boy Scouts Helping
More than a hundred boys from
Hilo, most of them belonging to the
Boy Scouts organization, came over
last Friday and Monday nights to
work in the canneries Part of them
are at the Haiku Fruit and the rest
at the Pauwela Co.'s plant. The com
panies also have lot of school girls
and others quartered in dormitories,
and several big trucks daily bring
capacity loads of workers from Paia
and return them there at night
The pack of this island will be far
the largest on on record here, but
from paintings already made it will
be greatly exceeded next year.
Can Shortage Feared
Some uneasiness has been occasion
ed by the difficulty of the American
Can Co., which makes all of the cans
used in the Islands, to get delivery of
tin plate, owing to the recent labor
difficulties on the mainland. The Hal
ku factory is said to have plate for but
two or three weeks, and scarcely any
cans made up ahead.

Durney(s Trans-Continen-
tai Ca Finally Gets Home

DR.. c. p. purney, of the Kula Sani-
tarium, received by the Manoa, last
Friday, his Packard automobile with
which he made the tour of the con-
tinent last fall. The car was shipped
by rail from New York to San Fran
cisco and has been about months on
the road but it is apparently in good
condition and the Doctor was able to
drive from the wharf at Kahului with
out even having to replenish the gas
oline supply.
DR.. Durney, with his wife and chill
dren, drove from San Francisco to
New York, via Los Angeles and the
southern route, stopping in Kentucky
for several weeks. They crossed the
Alleghanies in mid December, on
roads so icy that skid chains had to
be kept on the wheels for 1900 miles.
A total of 1000 miles was covered on
the trip, which was made with practi-
cally no car trouble and but one
puncture The air in the front tires,
DR.. Durney says is the same that was
in them when he left Kula, last Octo-
Der.

ILLICIT BOOZE GETS
COCKETT INTO TROUBLE

"Bill" Cockett, reputed to be bad
actor whenever he can mix up with
-i:,,le booze, was before Judge Nc
Kay on Tuesday, considerably the
worse for wear from an encounter
with big Kahuku," of Lahaina, at
Sundays ball game. Kahuku is
wrestler of some note, but is reputed
to be of a generally inoffensive dis
position, except when somebody else
starts something, which Cockett is
alleged to have done on this occasion
Cockett's face bore unmistakable evil
dences of hard usage when he faced
his honor.
But it was not the Sunday fracas
that brought Bill into court. He was
arrested on complaint of Manuel
Enos, who alleges that Cockett came
to his house and did him up on last
Saturday. Enos showed the effects OF
the encounter, and Coclett pleaded
guilty and paid a fine of S25 and costs.
He is alleged to have mixed into a
family quarrel in which he should
have had no concern.
Cockett returned some months ago
from service during the war in the
navy. He is said to have made a good
blue-jacket.

Wailuku TheaterS Are To
Be Completely Rebuilt

The contract will probably be let
the Valley Isle, or Hip" theater on
Market street, by Manager p. II. Ross,
and the work will be started as soon
as the materials can be got on the
ground by the contractor. During the
several weeks that the house is being
remodeled the old Orpheum, on Main
street will be used. Manager Ross
states that with the temporary repairs
and center roof supports which have
been put in the latter place, that it
is entirely safe.
With the exception of the roof, the
Hip theater will be practically rebuilt
and greatly improved in appearance.
One feature will be the large and COM
modious balcony to be put in seating
$50. This will contain the best seats
in the house. Entrances to this bal
cony will be from the street. The
entire upper part of the building will
be of lattice work which will provide
abundance of ventilation. Emergency
exits, with concrete walks to the
street, will also be put in.
The front of the building will be
especially attractive, being in stucco,
with tasteful ornaments.
It is the plan of the Weller COM
pany to follow up this Improvement
with the rebuilding of the Orpheum,
which will be used probably several
nights a week for high class pictures
and entertainments.

East Maui Has Big
Fourth Celebration
Hama, Kipahulu, KaupO And Nahiku
Join In Sports And Luau - One
OF Biggest Day In History Of
District.
Especial to Maui News.)

HAMA, July 6-The 5th of July, was
gala day for Hama and she did her
self proud, when in conjunction with
the towns of Kipahulu, Kaupo and Ma
hiku, she put on a series of events
that would have been a credit to any
community.
Very early in the day the crowd be-
gan to arrive and soon the town was
full to overflowing of visitors.
The sports, consisting of canoe,
foot and swimming races, lasted until
l o'clock, when some 500 people sat
down to a grand luau, consisting of
all the Hawaiian delicacies, at the
public school house. After every one
had his fill, came the baseball match,
between the Kipahulu team in their
natty uniforms, and the Hama team,
resulting in close victory for the
kipahulu boys.
The evening wound UP with free
moving picture show and a dance.
Too much praise cannot be given
20 the committee in charge of the
affair, as also to the Kipahulu boys
who furnished such beautiful music
for the dance. Nothing occurred to
mar the pleasures of the day and all
went home thoroughly satisfied and
happy.

An error was made in reporting the
automobile accident at the corner of
Main and High streets last Friday af
ternoon, in that the Wailuku Vul-
canizing Co.'S car was not making a
turn at the corner, as stated, but was
crossing Main street from the north
side of High. The Maui Hotel build
ing prevented Miss McVay from see
ing the other car until it was too late
for her to stop as she was coming
down the hill. The corner is consid-
cred a dangerous one from the fact
that drivers are not able TO see each
other.

USE OF WATER BEING LIMITED

Notices are being issued by A. Gar
cia, waterworks superintendent, limit
ing the use of county water for irrigat-
ing lawns to between the hours of 6
and a. m, and 4 and p. m. The
cause of the shortage is due to the
excessive amount of water being used
as the weather becomes dryer, and
not to a scarcity of water at the in
take. The mile section of 6-inch pipe
to the reservoir is too small to keep
up the supply, according to the super
intendent

BevinS Wins First
Round From Burr
Supreme Court SuStainS HabeaS
Corpus Action In Contempt Case
Mittimus Faulty - DiSbarment
Matter Still To Be Determined

County Attorney e. r. Bevins won
out in his habeas corpus case in the
supreme court last week. when that
tribunal handed down a decision hold
ing that Judge Burr's mittimus
against Bevins was faulty. The
county attorney was ordered dis
charged from custody.
Bevins had failed to pay the $50 fine
for alleged contempt of court, and
Judge Burr had ordered his arrest and
confinement in Jail for 80 days on a
mittimus. The syllabus of the opinion
of the higher court is as follows:
"a recital in mittimus that the
accused in a contemptuous and in
sulting manner T. made Ger
tain statements intimating, and in-
tending to intimate, the incompetency
of the judge etc, is not a compliance
with the provisions of section 456 r.
l.. 1915 which provides that whenever
any person shall be adjudged guilty
of any contempt or sentenced there
for, the particular circumstances of
the offense shall be fully set forth in
such judgment and in Fhe- order "a
warrant of commitment.
"The language itself should be set
out in the mittimus to enable the re-
viewing court to determine whether
the judge of the court below properly
assumed that the petitioner intimated,
or intended to intimate, the incom-
potency of the judge.
THE right to punish for direct con
tempt is inherent in every court of
record and it is doubtful if that right
can be taken away by Legislative en-
actment, but the procedure is purely
statutory and compliance with the
statute in respect thereto must be
had"
In reviewing the case, Chief Justice
Coke, who wrote the opinion, con-
cludes:
In the present case the mittimus
by failing to set forth the particular
Cll VI lllC oilNhoS NOSS nv
meet the requirements of the statute,
hence the petitioner must be discharg-
ed from custody and it is so ordered"
Mandamus Matters This Week
1t is possible that the supreme court
has by this time also passed upon
Bevins alternative writ of mandamus,
which was to have come up on We'd
nesday, in which Judge Burr had
been ordered by the higher court to
show cause why the county attorney
should be deprived of the privileges
of practicing his profession and of
exercising his duties as county at
torney. Judge Burr, it will be recall
ed, declined to permit Bevins to
practice in his court pending the CON
clusion of the proceedings for disbar-
ment which the court has ordered the
Attorney General to institute against
him. Bevins last week secured an al
tentative writ of mandamus designed
to secure his reinstatement.
Up to last report from Honolulu, the
action for disbarment had not been
begun by Attorney General Irwin, but
it is expected that this will start soon.

Fair Association
Now Clear Of Debt
PlaE>atiOns Pay $62,2 And More
10 Come - Plans For Improve
mentS To Cost Upwards Of
$4,000

The receipt of $42,750 from the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co..
and $19,500 from the Maui Agricul
tural Co., was reported at the meeting
Cf the Maui County Fair & Racing
Association yesterday afternoon by
Treasurer D. c. Lindsay. This $63,25
represents rs cents on each ton of
sugar produced this year by these two
companies, and is given uncondition-
ally to the fair association. The de-
cision to do this was announced in
these columns two weeks ago
Treasurer Lindsays report further
showed that this donation not only
wiped out the entire Indebtedness of
the organization, leaving it with
splendid property of at least 100000
value, but also with cash surplus
of $456.42
More Money Expected
1t was stated at yesterdays meeting
that there seemed every reason to
belieye that the Wailuku Sugar Co.,
will also subscribe to the association
IS cents per ton on it's outturn, which
will amount to some $1,000 more.
This company has not taken action
on the matter on account OF the
absence until a few days ago, of E.
Faxson Bishop, president, who has
been on the mainland. If this amount
is forthcoming, it will give the organi-
zation a good start towards carrying
out the plans offrurther improving
the grounds and buildings before the
fair next fall.
Plans For Future
In this connection Harold Rice,
director of the 1920 fair to be held the
latter part of October, outlined the
plans which his committee has in
mind for preparing for the fair. These
include the construction of perman-
ent livestock building to cost $4,000,
cottage for the care-taker of the
grounds to cost $1,000, a palm and
fern lath house to cost $3.50, bleachers
to cost $500, and water piping cost
ing about $2000 or in all $21,25O
Besides this a large amount of fill
ing is to be done, besides the con-
struction of tennis courts, swimming
pool, and other improvements, but
most of this work is to be done by
prison labor and no charge was al
lowed for this.
The meeting approved the plans
and also voted to give Rice and his
assistants full authority of the associ-
ations property until after the fair

Races And Baseball
Are Financial Success

The total paid attendance at the
races and ball game last Monday was
$347S. 1t is estimated that, with tb 4
free admission of attendants and IL
ers the actual number of person = in
the grounds during the day MAJ up
wards of 5000.
The gross returns from admissions
and grand-stand amounted to S3633.75
and the net proceeds after paying
purses and various experb bes will be
probably something less than $500.
The grandstand was fled to capaci-
ty shortly after 10 o, flock and hun
dreds Of persons wife turned away
when the sale of S Fats was stopped.
The need for bleack kers or other seat
ing arrangements as so clearly dem
onstrated that there is no doubt that
steps will be taken to provide for
large attendance before the fair next
fall.
Base Ball Paid Way
The Waikiki-All-Maui base ball
games drew good crowds and paid all
expenses in spite of the fact that the
game at the fair grounds On Monday
brought in no returns. Sne games at
Lahaina and Wall Iku, however,
brought in a gross rlvenue of $7O4.7O,
and after paying the $3.50 guaranteed
the visitc and entertainment and
tranSpt and other costs, the
athletic department reports a surplus
above expenses of $491S.

Haiku Sub-StatiOn Has
Seed For Distribution

The Agricultural Extension Division
of the Hawaii Experiment Station, at
the Haiku Sub-Station, Haiku, Maui,
offers for distribution for fall plant
ing, the following seeds of new crops
that have shown up unusually well
during the past year:
For the low-lands and middle areas
cuttings of the following cassava vari-
eties are offered in lots of 25 cuttings
per applicant:
/. Sweet, white, early maturing
culinary cassava.
2. Bitter red, later maturing,
stock feed variety cassava.
8. Mertins intermediate cas-
sava.
4. "Wiebke" cassava. A new
variety introduced from Kauai
and promising to be superior any
of the above for culinary, feeding
and starch manufacturing pur-
poses.

the end of Is months, on June Is at
the Haiku Sub-Station yielded as fol
lows: No. l, 1860 lbs; No. 2, 24,36O;
No. 3, 7014; No. 4, 1876 lbs, per acre
of clean roots. These results were
obtained on rough pineapple land,
without feStilization and little or no
cultivation4aside from the initial plow
ing under of the old pineapple stumps
and one cross-plOwing. Under favora
BILE conditions, the above yields Shouts
be doubled.
5. New Era Bantam Yellow
flint poultry corn. This new corn,
developed at the Haiku Sub-Sta-
tion, took first prize for best 100
lbs, shelled corn at the Second
Maui County Fair, 1919. 1t has
been widely distributed over the
Territory, as well as from sea
level to an altitude of 5000 TT. on
Maui. Reports thus far received
have invariably spoken very fav-
orably of the results obtained
from this v.Aety. At the Haiku
Sub-Station, it has yielded at the
rate of about so bushels per acre
in S5 days from planting, and dur
ing an extremely dry season In
Kula, where usually only the large
late maturing Kula type of hybrid
corn has thrived this variety yield
ed almost as well. However, at
Mr.. William F. Pogue's Makawao
farm, the yield from one-fourth
acres he advises us, has been eX-
tremely heavy, approximately
doubling the above yields, This
variety of corn is believed to be
especially adapted to poultry feed
ing as the grain is small and of
higher nitrigenous or protein con-
tent than ordinary corn.
6. New Era early maturing
heavy seeding pigeon pea. This
is Hawaiis new wonder crop 1t
thrives throughout the dryest sea
sons and in soils too poor to pro
