eral weeks ago, negotiations had been
on foot for some time for the purchase
of the property from the Bank of Maui
Ltd, and II. Streubeck who bought it
more than year ago at receivers

the deal until this week, however,
when the terms were finally agreed

the string of Field hotels on Maui,
the others being the Maui in Wailuku

short time the development of the
tourist travel to the Islands will tax
the present hotel facilities of Maui

sary.

In order that more equable system
of valuation for real property may
possibly be evolved a committee of
five citizens of Wailuku district was

newa, on Tuesday, to study the mat
ter. The committee was named at a
meeting held at the Town Hall which
was attended by about one hundred

net result of considerable discussion.
The committee consists of. Gar
cia, chairman; Charles Wilcox, w. E.,
Bal, It. B. Lyons and J. V. Marciel
After the adjournment of the gen
eral meeting the committee met and
organized and decided to hold meet

district and of consulting with the
property owners OF the various sec

asked to confer with the board. w.
E. Cockett was elected secretary.
The board does not expect to offer
any opinions until ready to make its
report to the assessor, which will not
be for several months. The investi-
cation will of course have no bearing
upon this years taxes, and in the end
will be simply in the nature of recon-
mendation to the assessor, having no
force of law.
A similar meeting will be held in
Lahaina tomorrow afternoon at which
Assessor Kunewa will meet the tax
payers of west Maui.
Mr.. Kunewa stated that through
these differences he hopes to get the
people to working in such way that

Dentist Police
Find Gamblers

A gambling game running behind
barred doors at Lahaina was brought
to light last Saturday night by Sheriff
Clem Crowell and Officers Lindsay,
Silva and Wilhelm, and the whole out
fit rounded up after several hours of
patient and watchful waiting. Half
dozen Chinese gamesters were taken
in the next and on Monday were each
fined $25 and costs with the exception
of Wong Git, the alleged proprietor OF
the place, who waived examination and
demanded a jury trial.
The crime of gambling becomes a
more serious offense, under the laws
of Hawaii when conducted in barri-
caded place.
Pseudo Dentist Nabbed
The raid on Wong GIFTS place came
through the chase of the officers after
L. w. Chan, who is charged with
having practiced dentistry at Paia
without a license. He was found in
the gaming house and was fined with
the rest, but he was also put under
5000 bail to answer the dentistry
charge.
Chan is said to have previously
worked for DR.. Clemmens, the Hun
dentist, who was recently refused a
renewal of his license to practice, fol-

Plantations
On Oahu Tied
Up By Strike

Practically all of the Filipino labor
ers on the Oahu plantations went out
on strike last Monday and since that
time portion of the japanese labor
ers have joined them. So far as can
be learned no island except Oahu is
affected. Here on Maui it is not be
lieved there is any immediate likeli-
hood of the Japanese quitting, while
the proportion of Filipino laborers is
not great enough to materially affect
any plantation unless it might be XII
pahulu and Hama.
The japanese paper, Maui Record
today received the following wireless
message on the subject:
"The Japanese labor federation has
notified the Oahu unions to observe
unconditional rest. On the Waialua
plantation 500 laborers have quit
work"
The Maui Shimbun has received the
following:
"At Waipahu and Waianae all Jap
anese laborers are resting. At Kahu.
ku, Eva and Aiea the Japanese work
ers are half at rest"
1t is interpreted here by some of
the Japanese here that the Japanese
of Oahu who have quit work have
6nnn Of 4
against them by the Filipino strikers
that their resting" is not a real strike.
Strike Timely For Planters
Last reports were that Kahullu, Wal
alua, Eva, Aiea and Oahu Sugar were
all closed down, or practically so on
account of the strike, but that. owing
to the splendid rains of the past week
or 10 days the cane fields will not
suffer from want of irrigation even iG
no work is done on them for a month
Cane ready for harvest will deterior-
ate little by delay and the loss will
come almost exclusively from delayed
production.
Drivers Strike Also
The truclmen and drivers of the
Honolulu Construction & Drayage Co.
to number of about $50 have also been
out on strike for the past week for
higher wages. They were joined on
Tuesday by about a dozen tcamsters
of the California Feed Co.
Stocks Hit BY Strike
Practically all sugar stocks have
slumped as a direct result of the
strike. Oahu Sugar had fallen off
about points and others in proper
ton.

wipe out all outstanding accounts. Ii
is believed that the annual fair will
