occurrence, quite number of people
saw this rare event here last Tuesday.
Car No. 1873, owned by S. Matsuda,
was borrowed by X. Uyeda for trip
to Kealia. After starting the engine
Mr.. Uyeda decided to have drink at
a nearby soda fountain. Without shut
ting off the throttle he alighted from
the car after pulling up the hand brake
only half way. Immediately after his
exit the brake slipped. throwing the
car into high, and off she went,
straight ahead for about 25 yards, and
then tackled the fence recently erect
ed by the American Factors, around
their local property. Lizzie" downed
the fence and continued on her tenn

hind took advantage of the interrupt
ion and caught up with her after she
mad travelled fifty yards more. With

In Long Struggle

The long drawn struggle of Mrs. T
F. Hustace with influenza, extending

hopes and fears, terminated fatally last

Hustace senior.

dowed with graces and accomplish

gence, initiative, and sense of RESPONSE
bility that betokep the culture and re-
finement of generations of education
and training.
In addition to being socially attract

Homesteaders Meet
Consider Interest

A meeting of the Kapaa Homestead
ers Association was held at the Court
House at Kapaa on Sunday at 2:30
p. m. for the purpose of discussing the
water question and the new contract
about to be signed with the Makee
Sugar Company.
Considerable discussion took place
with reference to the two plans for the
new water company. One plan, pub
lished, was for each homesteader to
pay S12 per acre per annufn for use Of
the water, while another plan was for
each homesteader to pay So per acre
per annum and IS for each million gal
Ions of water used the latter plan
making it necessary to install water
measuring gauges wherever necessary
Messrs. Jensen, Cheatham Johonnot
and others favored the latter plan,
while Joseph Correa opposed and want
ed to know what the 81 per acre to be
paid represented. No decision was ar
rived at as the majority favored the
suggestion made by a member, that
the water question be deferred until
after the signing Of the new contracts.
A committee OF three, consisting Of
Messrs. Correa, Kaahu and Bush, was
thereupon appointed to see Mr.. Volt
ers as to when the new contracts
would be ready for signature. This
committee interviewed Mr.. Wolters
and Mr.. C. A. Rice yesterday, and 1880
a. m. on Wednesday, March 31st, has
been set as the date for the signing of
the contracts by the fourth series
homesteadors.

USUAL UPRISING AGAINST
HOLSTEIN is THREATENING

Will an attempt be made at the
special session of the legislature to
unseat Henry L. Holstein as speaker
of the house of representatives?
A move along this line is gaining
headway, according to reports emanat-
ing from political circles. It is said
that the move is based upon the state
ment made by Holstein to the press at
the close of the 1919 session, in which
he caustically criticised members OF
the house and referred to the session
as the bummest we ever had"
This statement was taken up and
investigated by the attorney generals
department and finally reached the
territorial grand jury, where the agi-
tation ended.-StarBulle

Standing Of the Teams:

in that Makaweli and Hawaiian

score any points or not.

LAST SUNDAYS
SOCCER GAMES

The two games of soccer at
Eleele last Sunday brought out
the rec, .rd crowd of the season
of the spectators coming from dist
ant parts of the Island.
Both games were decidedly in
teresting, and the second game, be.
tween McBryde and Hawaiian,
was exciting to say the least. In
one of the many scrimmages in
this game, one of the players de-
liberty kicked his opponent, and
then, to prove beyond all possible
doubt, that he was a good sport,
he squared off and wanted to set
tile the argument la Marquise of
Queensbury. This young man has
the makings of a splendid soccer
player, but he will have to learn
to curb his temper befare he will
be a success at the game.
Lihue rs Mdka,oeh
This game was a splendid exhi-
bition Of clean soccer, which ended
in a tie-One to One-though it is
generally conceded that Makaweli
had the best of the argument, in
that they kept the ball in Lihue's
territory most of the time.
Makaweli scored first, and in
a peculiar manner. Makaweli had
worked the ball down into Lihue's
territory and a kick for goal was
made. Christian, the Lihue goal
keeper, intercepted the ball and
hit it with his fist. The ball start
ed away like bullet but came in
contact with a Makaweli players
head and bounded gracefully back
for a goal.
Shortly after this Lihue forced
the ball into Makaweli territory
and soper, with a well placed
kick, shot pretty goal.
, In the second period both teams
had several tries for goal, but the
shots invariably went too high.
st. Clair acted as referee.
AcBryde vs. Kaicaihau
This was the more spectacular
game of the two, as the Hawaiian
boys, who have only one point,
wanted this game, and went after
it with will. The made the old
timers of McBryde get right down
to brass tacks and play for all they
were worth. Experience told in
the long run, though, and Nc
Bryde won, 2 to 0. Cation acted
as referee of this game.
The final games of the series
will be played next Sunday as fol,

Both games are scheduled to
start at 3 100 sharp.
