sion luna of the Hamakuapoko divi-
sion of the Maui Agricultural Co., has
resigned his position and will leave

THIEVES ROB GUESTS AT
LAHAlNA HOTEL AND OTHERS

An epidemic of robberies at Laha-
ina has stirred that community con
siderably during the past week. Sew
eral of the thefts took place in the
Pioneer Hotel, last Friday night when
rooms in which guests were sleeping
were looted George B. Dewing, form
erly in charge of the naval RADIO ser
vice on Maui, but now of~Honolulu,
who was spending a short furlough on
this island, was one of the victims,
losing about $50 in cash which was
taken from his clothing while he slept
From another room valuable camera
was taken.
A Japanese fisherman in Lahaina
had his house entered on Saturday
night and 5000 stolen. Thus far the
police have been unable to get clue
to the thief, though they are inclined
to connect the escape of the Filipino
convict from the Kahului prison with
some of the work.

BOY SCOUTS TO BREAK
CAMP SUNDAY MORNING

The 20 Boy Scouts, who have been
in camp at Honolua for the past two
weeks, will break camp next Sunday
and return to central Maui. 1t is the
first time that a Scout camp has been
held on Maui, and it is declared to
have been a big success. Although. it
had been intended to continue the
camp for a month or more longer
with other troops the fact that so many
boys are working at the canneries anc
elsewhere has resulted in a decision
to discontinue it for the time being.
It is possible that it will be reopened
later in the season, as there are quite
a number of applicants who would
like to attend.
While the boys have been in camp
they have partially supplied them
selves with food through their fishing
expeditions. They have been out vari-
Gus times with a fisherman and sam
pan supplied by d. T. Fleming, and
this week made the trip to Molokai
and return. Today they are off on
hike intending to scale Mount Exc, in
the west Maui range. The camp has
been in charge of Frank Crockett,
scoutmaster

Judge De bolt Named
To Hold Court Here

AS reported in last weeks issue of
the Maui News-would probably be
done, Chief Justice Coke has written
to County Attorney Bevins advising
that Judge De Bolt, of the first circuit
court, Honolulu, has been named by
him to sit on the bench of the local
circuit court to try important chamber
matters which cannot well wait until
the return of Judge Burr in the fall,
Judge De Bolt is to leave Honolulu
on Tuesday, August II, and will begin
his work in Wailuku the following
day, remaining as long as he deems
necessary to clean up pressing bust
ness.
AS stated in the Maui News last
week, one of the important matters to
come up is the foreclosure proceed
ings against the Island Electric Co.

Standard Oil Co. To Build
More Tanks At Kahului

C. C. Conradt has about completed
a contract of clearing some acres of
land, just east of the Kanaha pond
and mauka of the Kahului Railroad
tracks at Kahului, on which are to be
erected a number of large oil storage
tanks by the Standard Oil Company.
When completed the Standard plans
to have storage capacity on Maui for
practically a years supply of fuel oil
and gasoline for this island.
Engineers of the oil company are
expected here shortly to make sur
veys and plans for the necessary ex-
cavation and leveling, and they will
be followed by the steel workers who
will put up the tanks. This force is
at present constructing similar sta
tions both in Honolulu and at Port
Allen, Kauai.

Trouble Makers At Paia
Ordered From Plantation

Because they were accused of seek
ing to make trouble on the plantation,
IS Japanese agitators, according to
Japanese report, were ordered to leave
the camps of the Maui Agricultural
Co., on Wednesday. All were work
ers on the plantation, and their dis
missal has caused some stir, apparent
ly, in Japanese circles.
Manager H. A. Baldwin stated this
morning that about dozen agitators
had been discharged He said that
they had been interfering in various
ways, particularly by urging other
workers not to make cultivating con-
tracts with the plantation.
The trouble is apparently an after
phase Of the strike on Oahu. 1t is re-
ported that the Japartese at Paia have
held a number of MEETINGS since the
letting out Of the Iigitators, and an
effort is being made to have it taken
up by the more kor less discredited
labor organization of this island and
of Honolulu.

Maui Agricultural Co.'s plantation

Her successor has not yet been ap-
pointed. Mrs. ]. H. Kunewa has re-

POLO MATCH CALLED OFF

A polo match, scheduled for tomor-
row afternoon on the Maui field, be-
tween the Maui team and one from
Oahu, has been Cancelled. The
Honolulu players had been expected
to come up by the Manoa, due in
Kahului tomorrow morning. Frank
Baldwin states that owing to the
change in the schedule of the Manoa,
by which it will leave tomorrow even
ing instead of on Sunday, as hereto
fore, it was not considered feasible
to attempt to play the game.

Clothes Cleaners Combine
Announce Higher Prices

And now its the higher cost of keep
ing the creases in your trousers. The
Maui clothes cleaning and dying as
sociation have just advertised a new
schedule of prices to go into effect on
August l by which rates for cleaning
pressing. dyingl blocking hats, etc,
are advanced from one third to one
half.
1t is stated by Japanese in the bust
ness that practically all of the clean
ers on Maui belong to the association
and that all have agreed to make the
increased charge simultaneously. The
increased price of dyes and fuel is
given as the reason why the increas-
ed schedule is necessary.

z COnvictS Escape
From Kahului Gang
Japanese Gives Self Up Two Days
Later But Filipino Still At Large
Several BurglarieS Laid To His
Credit.

Two territorial prisoners, both do
ing time for burglary, made their
escape from the prison barracks ct
Kahului last Sunday night by slipping
away in the darkness just before time
to lock the gang up for the night
One of them, Masa Okamura, jap
anese, gave himself up at Paia or
Tuesday. The other is still at large,
and is believed to have been RESPONSE
bic for one or possibly more burglar
les in the past week. He is a Filipino
named Eduardo Galacia.
Both of the men who escaped are
from Oahu, aud both had been in the
gang of 15 new men brought up about
two weeks ago to augment the force
working on the county fair grounds
at Kahului
The night Of the escape a Japanese
house in Kahului was entered and
dark suit OF clothes and $27 in money
stolen a number of burglaries at
Lahaina in the past few days incline
the police to believe that Galacia has
made his way to that side of the is
land.

break will mean a good deal more
than simply the control of patronage
to come from a national republican
victory next fall. 1t seems almost
certain that it will have a very mark
ed bearing upon the race for the dele
gateship, and that Kuhio, through his
part in the rumpus has put himself
in a position that, in light of his last
precarious.
In refusing to make good promises
Shingle and John Wise to Senators
H. w. Rice and H. A. Baldwin at the
time the latter withdrew his candi-
dacy for the place of national COM
mitteeman in favor of Shingle,
it seems more than probable that the
Oahu leaders have alienated not only
have lost as we'll the favor of the very
considerable interests which the Maui
senator represents, and also much of
the rank and file support of the re-
publican party on Maui.
Senator Baldwin was absolutely out
spoken in his condemnation of the
tactics of the late convention. He
says that it was dominated by politi-
clans for personal profit as different
iatnd nn1itirtonc u-nrlyinO for tho
good of the territory and of the party.
He says that when, for business rea-
sons it seemed likely that he would
| be unable to attend the national con-
! vention in Chicago and agreed to re-
| linquish his claim to the position of
national committeeman, a place which
Maui, by all right of precedent had a
right to expect, he turned his support
to Senator Shingle at the latter's
earnest solicitation. Shingle at that
time, says Senator Baldwin, was most
keen for this support and readily
promised, in conjunction with Senator
John Wise, that Oahu would support

tral committee.
Shingle and Wise not only faithful
ly promised this, says Baldwin, but
Shingle went further, and on the flool
Of the convention, a few months ago
publicly stated that in accepting the
committeemanship he would be guided
in all recommendations for appoint
ments by the central committee.
And did they keep their promise
They most certainly did not, the Mau
senator declares. He says:
Hears of Double Cross Plan
Il was in Honolulu about a week
before the last convention, and while
there heard from several apparently
reliable sources that plans were being
made to go back on the agreement

other other subject but that one until
pinned him down, and then he ad

Because they found the cards stack
ed against them and that to sit
through the game would mean simply
playing into the hands of the gang of
professional politicians in control of
the situation, the whole Maui delega-
ton declined to have any further part
in last Mondays convention in Homo
lulu and left the meeting without nam
ing single man to represent Maui
on the territorial central committee.
From reports from Honolulu, the
action of the Maui delegation certain
ly started something. From all ac-
counts the move finds strong sympa-
thy and approval from republicans
generally. The domination of the
party in Hawaii by a gang of politi-
clans for profit has finally become so
raw that, apparently, the rank and file
Of the party is more than ripe for re-
volt.
Doubtful Victory
Although, following the withdrawal
of the Maui delegates, the election of
Lorrin Andrews as chairman, John
Wise, as vice-chairman, and o. P.
Soares as secretary was made without
opposition, the joys of victory soon
gave way to almost panic gloom as
the true situation dawned upon the
victors. Sam Kalama, one of the
Maui delegates who did not return on
Monday nights boat, was kept awake
until 2 o'clock the following morning
by constant telephone calls to his
hotel room from anxious members of
the big stick gang seeking to get
some comfort from him that the Maui
bunch had not been serious in its
bolt, and hoping that he would try to
arrange a compromise" of some sort
Sam told all inquirers that Maui
would stand pat. Finally, in order to
get a little sleep, he muffled the
phone bell with a towel and went to
bed.

Most of Mauis 2S delegates return

are frankly boilers and are glad of it
So far as can be noted there is no dis
position whatever to compromise. II
looks like the beginning of fight that
will not end until the republican party
in Hawaii has again become truly rep
resentative of the people and not OF
the selfish interests of a small faction
seeking to further their own selfish
ends instead of the welfare of the ter
ritory.
