TelephOneR ateS
Up To Commission

Telephone rates came in for a
brief consideration at the meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
No copy of the report of the commit
tee named to conduct matters with
the utilities board was at hand all
copies of the statement of the case
having gone to II -.old9u. Joaquin
Garcia, in the of the other
two member of the committee, re-
ported verbally.
To utilities board the committee
had protested against toll rates for
central Maui as excessive, uncalled
for and tending to split up and sepa-
rate that part of the Island, Figures
on flat rate as suggested by the com
pany were called excessive but the
committee favored flat rate which
would enable the company to secure
a sufficient revenue or suggested
that some plan other than toll charges
be used to raise the requisite revenue
Except for an Acknowledgement of
receipt of the presentation of the case
no reply had been received by the
board
Further action by the utilities conf
mission is awaited by the chamber
and consideration of the question
went over to the next meeting.

More Protection
From Fire Asked

Better fire protection through the
building and equipping of hose
carriage house at the foot of the hill.
in the vicinity of Market and Main
streets was urged yesterday by Harry
NJ. Gesner at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting. He called attention
to the fact the subject had been con-
sidered before and "a committee
named TO seek to bring about favor
able action.
CD. Lufkin said he was a'member
Of the committee that had taken the
subject up with the board of super
visors which had at the time seemed
favorable to the proposal. Later a
member of the board of underwriters
had made special trip over from
Honolulu but had been unable to get
in touch with the chairman of the
board of supervisors which had moi
been in session at the time.
Mr.. Gesner spoke of the value of
property in that section of town and
the same committee was then asked
to take up the matter furher with the
board.

Transportation To
High School Asked

Daily transportation between Maka-
wac and Maui High school for group
of about five Chinese and Japanese
girls was sought from the board of
supervisors when it met on Wednes-
day. The case for the girls was pre-
sented by Mrs. A. c. Bowdish. The
board, though expressing the belief
that transportation should be furnish
81 would be scholars who reside at a
Tong distance from a school, has no.
fund on which it can draw and feels
the matter is one which should be
cared for by the Territorial School
Board.
AS the result of the situation of the
Makawao girls it is regarded as not
improbable, that the question of trans
portation for school children may be
made a subject for legislation at the
next session of the legislature.
Mrs. Bowdish showed that the girls
have completed the grade work at
Makawao, to which school two of the
girls had walked five miles, ten mile
daily tramp Their parents have kept
them in the grade schols until they
have reached ages when they are quite
capable of contributing to their own
support and are willing that they
they should secure still further educa-
ton but do not feel that they can af
ford to lose the income their children
might produce and pay a dollar day
transportation for each child, which is
the best arrangement that has been
offered for automobile carriage.
The girls were members of last
years graduating class at Makawao
and it is the first lime any class ever
finished the eight grade course in that
school.
Members of the board said that if
any action was taken in favor of this
group the board could be called upon
to furnish transportation to all chill
dren living at a distance of more than
three miles from a school and especial
ly to such as had finished the course
in a six grade school and desired to
attend an eight grade school
ky.d so it appeared that five ambi-
tious girls will have TO forego their
hope of securing a high school edu-
cation.

PRICE I CENTS
Prisoners Make
Escape From Jail
Three Territorial COnviCtS And County
Prisoner Scale Wall, Burglarize
House And One ApprOpriateS An
Automobile.

Four prisoners, three territorial
convicts and one serving years Jail
sentence, made their escape from the
Wailuku Jail Monday evening, three
of them burglarized the room of Mr..
and Mrs. d. w. Chilson at the Alex
ander House Settlement residence.
and one of them stole an automobile
and made his way to Lahaina. Three
of the escapes have been captured
and about half of the loot recovered.
The men, one by one, scaled the wall
of the Jail and made their get away.
Masa Okamura, said to have a pre-.
vious criminal record that included
seven Jail breaks, was the leader ot
The party. The other two territorial
prisoners were Eduardo Alcio and
Fernando Marcello. Tomas Rodrigues,
a Porto Rican, was the county pris-
oner who has a record of three for
mer breaks.
Hide in Mango Tree
According to the story told by the
recaptured prisoners, tlree Of them
scaled the wall one at time, each
cOncealing himself in a mango tree
nearby to await the arrival of the
others. Rodrigues did not join the
others and did not participate in the
burglarizing that followed. He was
captured Tuesday afternoon at Camp
One nurses beach house which he had
entered to get food
Tiring OF waiting the other three
proceeded to the Chilson home. Mr..
and Mrs. Chilson had gone to Puu-
meme. The burglars sought entrance
by side window but abandoned that
Plan and entered the house through
a rear door they found unlocked
There they stole several suits of Mr.
Chilsons clothes, number of shirts,
four pairs of shoes, a small rife, a
sum of money and a string of beads
belonging to Mrs. Chilson. They were
alarmed several times, the last send
ing ,nem scurrying from the prem
iSes.
Trio Separates
Proceeding to an automobile near
by they were trying to start it when
they saw some one approaching with
la fiashlight. Then they separated
and did not see one another again.
Eduardo Alicia was caught next NOR.
ming.
Okamura proceeded to Kahului and
hid back of the breakwater until
Tuesday evening when he came out
and appropriated the automobile of
Ralph H. Wilson, manager of the Won
Hamm-Y oung garage. This he drove
to Lahaina. Sheriff Crowell brought
him back Wednesday. The machine
was not damaged by the trip.
A part of the clothing stolen has
been recovered but no trace of the
money has been found. A piece of
malicious mischief performed while
the trio was in the Chilson home was
the breaking up of camera and the
| taking away of the roll of exposed
films it had contained.

Public Schools Will Open Morley With
Practically Full Teaching Staff And
Grammar And High Is Select School

School will open Monday with
chrage of the Maui schools. Maui
Grammar and High School is named
as one Of the select schools of the Is
lands, that is a school where English
speaking by prospective scholars is
one of the essential qualifications for
admission but that will make little
difference in the conduct of the school
and will not entail extra charges for
tuition as it had been rumored such
change might entail.
The naming OF select schools was
the result of agitation in Honolulu for
setting aside of certain schools for
children of English speaking families
only. Ability in English speaking by
pupils, however is the requisite for
admission under the modified ar
rangement.
D. c. Lindsay of the board of pub
lie instruction returned Wednesday

RISHnP THnMAS nFCTTNRS
CALL TO DELAWARE DIOCESE

The declination of Rt. Rev. Nathan
lel 5. Thomas, missionary bishop of
Wyoming, to become bishop of the
diocese of Delaware is a source of re-
gret to Episcopalians throughout Del
aware. The bishops letter declining
the call was read in many churches
in Delaware on Sunday and there
was profound regret everywhere.
Bishop Thomas in his letter to Rev.
f. M. klrkus, rector of Trinity P. r.
Church, Wilmington, said he could
not see his way clear to abandon his
work in the Western State, and inti-
mated that Delaware and MARYLAND
should be united in one diocese.
Without such a move it is now
thought likely it will be difficult to
attract a man Of Bishop Thomas at
tainments. Already the seed has been
sown for a combination that will
place the two States in one field
Bishop Thomas said in a letter that
the present diocese is toe small To
Justify him in giving up the West.
For some time there has been consid-
cradle sentiment for joining Della
ware with Maryland and many re-
gard 1t now as essential.
Il believe that no diocese with only
20 clergy can properly function under
ordinary condition." the bishop said
in a personal letter to DR.. Kirkus.
The official reply to the call was man
folded and read in all the churches
~ ABOUT the same time.
