IdOlized Leader of
Hawaii's Boy Scouts
will Arrive Tuesday

To take charge of Boy Scout activi
ties on Maui Pop" Hutton will arrive
next Tuesday morning. With sorrow
and regret the Scouts of Honolulu
will say au revoir to him tonight in
the Capitol Grounds of Honolulu. Tell
ing of the call for the farewell recep-
ton the Pacific Commercial Advertiser
of last Sunday said:
GOODBYE POP, GOOD LUCK"
Next Monday Honolulu Scouts will
say Aloha to their beloved Scout Ex-
ecutive w. H. Hutton, who leaves for
Maui to take up welfare work on the
Valley Isle. We all hate to see Mr..
Hutton leave us but at the same time
we realize that he is going to bet
ter work. He has had wonderful
success on this island and we should
be thankful for it. He has succeeded
in building up both the scouting in
troops and the financial end of the
council until we now are going and
rapidly. His work will never be for
gotten and we can safely say that he
has been our greatest executive.
"Mr. Hutton has been affiliated with
scouting on the island for the past
seven years, first serving as scout
master of Troop " of this city, and
then later accepting the position OF
executive of the Honolulu council. His
work has always been of an exception
al nature and his genial smile and
good nature have made him famous
even in the wilds of Hawaii. He visit
ed the Big Island last year to put
scouting on its feet over there and
became very popular; in fact, the Ha-
waii council offered the position of eX-
ecutive to him, which he declined.
"In 1916, when Mr.. Hutton was
scoutmaster of Troop ", he realized
a dream that every scoutmaster enter
tains at one time or another that of
winning the Duncn Cup contest and
carrying off the cup for that year. He
had built up his troop and perfected
it in scouting so tht when the contest
that brings out the best scouting
troop was held, Troop " won it.
"On Friday night all scout troops
will assemble at the capitol grounds
to say goodbye to their executive. Ev-
cry scout should make it point to
be there.

school books as well. He said he was

services of an interpreter She said
Mr. Lyons had spoken for her, that

she could do in legislation and said
before getting there it was difficult to
tell what she would be able to do.
John w. Kalua, candidate on the
Republicn ticket for the house, found
time to answer all questions in the
affirmative and was followed by Man
uel Comes Paschoal, member of the
last legislature who was able to tell
some of the why's and wherefores of
legislation that was enacted and was
not enacted. He stood for higher sal
aries for teachers, for school exten-
sion, for kindergartens and for trans
portation of children living more than
two miles fom schools but wanted pro
visions so no damage suits for injury
could be brought. He told of the
bad conditions found in the Honolulu
reform schools in the course of in
vestigations by the legislators and

she would try do if elected. Give me

GENERAL FUND
AID TO SCHOOLS
Supervisors Seek Means to Reimburse
it at Special Term of Legislature;
Without Help Needed Buildings
Are Not Procurable

Maui County has advanced from it's
general fund to its school fund about
$4,000 this year and if the new build
ing which is asked should be com
pleted during the present year and
paid for by the county it would re-
quire further advances of perhaps
$4,000 more This condition has
arisen in part from the increased cost
of building material and labor and in
part from the fact that last years bud
get of expenditures for new school
buildings did not include. all the pro-
jects that were needed The county
VIII seek to have the expenditures
made thus far and the necessary
funds for the new work that is sought
included in an appropriation or in the
budget of the special term of the leg
islature.
More Asked For
At the last meeting of the board of
supervisors, School Commissioner
David G. Lindsay asked for building
of two rooms at Paia, two at Maka-
wac and one each at Wailuku, Spreck-
elsville and Waihee. This brought
the subject of drawing from the gen
eral fund for the school fund to the
fore and some warm discussion fol
lowed. The subject came up again at
the afternoon session and then it was
decided to seek reimbursement
through legislation.
This is not the first time Maui has
been placed in such a position. Some
four or five years ago the general fund
was drawn upon to the extent of about
$4,000. 1t is not thought likely that
any of the work asked by Commission
er Lindsay can be completed during
the present calendar year, but plans
and specifications are to be prepared,
and bids are to asked for at the meet
ing of the board and if contracts be
let before January the Indebtedness
would be increased this year.
Shop Not Needed
At the time of his appearance be-
fore the board Commissioner Lindsay
recommended that the contract for d
vocational shop for Maui High and
Grammar School be cancelled since
the school was unable to secure
vocational instructor The contract
OF agreed, upon a refund of $40 he had
expended, the action suggested was
taken by the board and that amount
will not have to be advanced.
Relative to the needs of the schools
that have been met from the general
fund it is said first came call from
Molokai for building for which no
provision had been made, then Hama
had not sufficient funds to complete
building being erected there, Lahai-
ma was in a similar plight and other
instances arose. The board considers
it necessary to push the school build
ing work but wants the general fund
to be reimbursed for it's expenditure.

Claudine and West
Cajoot Collide
Inter-ISland Boat Damaged When it
Comes in Contact With Big Steam
er at Entrance of Honolulu Har-
Dor Monday Evening

Passengers who arrived on the
Claudine Tuesday morning told of
that vessel having been in collision
with the Steamer West Cajoot at the
entrance to Honolulu harbor as the
Inter-Island steamer was departing on
her trip to Maui, putting back to Ho-
nolulu and again departing on her trip
about two hours later. She reached
Kahului about her usual time. Some
Of the passengers thought they had \
narrow escape from a very serious
accident that all but resulted in the
sinking of the craft they were on.
Honolulu reports are to the effect
there was little danger.
Honolulu Version
Telling of the accident The Adver-
tiser said in part:
Attempting to squeeze between the
Sand Island Lighthouse buoy and the
towering sides of the shipping board
freighter West Cajoot, which was be-
ing towed into Honolulu harbor by
Young Brothers tugs Miliala and Mi
kioi, Capt. Louis Self caused the In
ter-Island steamer Claudine to collide
with the incoming vessel, but without
serious damage resulting to either
vessel.
The tug Mikioi, which was just hook
ing up at the stern of the West Ca
loot, slipped her hawsers and shot full
speed astern out of the way of the
Claudine, which continued out of the
channel to open sea and there swung
and returned to her wharf. The Mi
kioi, commander by Captain Bob" was
momentarily in danger, but the quick
action of her captain and the imme-
diate response of her motor engines
took her out of the danger zone.
CIaudine Damaged
The Claudine suffered the loss of
one of her boats and a considerable
section of her starboard railing. She
left for Maui again at 7:15 p. m, af-
ter taking aboard a new whaleboat.
The West Cajoot, which discharged
a cargo of coal at Pearl Harbor, was
brought up to Honolulu late in the
afternoon with the tug Mikiala towing.
The West Cajoot stood very high out
of the water. She was minus a pro-
peller blade and was being taken to
the InterIsland drydock TO have
new one inserted. Having unloaded,
she stood very high out of water, This
was fortunate for the Claudine for
had she been loaded and therefore,
low in the water, the damage to the
Claudine would probably have been
AS it was, the Claudine
brushed the side and lost very little
of her top hamper.

Product is Found

Representing Hawaiian Banana
Plantations, Ltd, w. G.. Powell and
John C. (Jack) Anderson are now on

Before coming to Wailuku they
went to Hama on the Claudine and in
seven hours there they placed $4,000
in stock of the company.
Mr.. Powell said yesterday that of
the $45O,000 capital stock shares to
the amount of $15O,OOO have been al
otted to Maui if it wants them. If not
investors in the other Islands do want
them
In a recent letter to stockholders of
the company w. c. Anderson, its pres
ident, said in part:
Perhaps the most important de-
velopment as making for the success
of our undertaking is the receipt of
letter from a large and thoroughly re-
liable packer of dehydrated fruits and
vegetables which contains the follow
ing:
eff you and your associates are in
a position to undertake the supplying
to us of fine dehydrated banana pro
duct, shipping to us in large tin can
nisters, which we would re-pack into
small consumers cannisters, we would
be in a position to take practically
your entire product, so long as it came
up to a fixed standard of quality
This firm has produced the kind OF
banana it wants, in its own
plants. Hence we know
that, with the same dehydrator, we
can furnish what they want,
This assures us of an outlet for
any bananas We may raise which for
any reason we might not be able to
ship on the bunch, such as possible
punches, overripe bunches'
