Maui Makes Good In
Cornell Track Meet
High Schools Win LaurelS Under
Heavy Handicap--Tavares First
In Broad Jump Enthusiastic For
Another Try.

Maui High School invaded interscho-
lastic athletics last Saturday in Homo
lulu. For the first time in its history
Maui High entered track team in the
Cornell games and carried away points
in three out of the five events which
it entered. Considering that Maui's
team consisted of but six men as com
pared to the thirty or forty-man teams
of the Honolulu schools, and that
those six spent the night before the
meet in the steerage of the good ship
Mauna Kea the school is to be con-
graduated upon it's showing.
Those who made the trip were Nils
Tavares, Jack Walker, Arthur Bald
win, Shigi Hangai, Seveth Boyum,
Sterling Hebert and Mr.. MacCaughey.
The boys spent most of the night
singing:
Pm going to keep my dinner down
Maui no ka oe.
l do not want my lunch to drown
Maui no ka oe."
Unfortunately some of them were
unable to keep their promise.
Officials and friends of sport in
Honolulu took real interest in the
welfare of the team and gave the boys
every consideration. The team has
been invited to come down on a We'd
nesday next year so that the boys will
have two days to recuperate from the
trip and get used to the track on
which the meet is run.
Events. places and points taken last
Saturday are as follows:
Broad jump, first place, Nils Tavar-
es, 5 points Medley relay, 0; 220-yard
hurdles, fourth place, Jack Walker, l
point; 100yard dash, 0; high jump,
fourth place, Seveth Boyum, l point.
The trip, which was more or less of
an experiment, has shown first that
Maui High school is able to hold
real place in interscholastic athletics;
second, that we must have real ath-
letic field with a cinder track or
"scalped' track properly graded and
drained. Without this we cannot hope
to compete on Honolulu tracks.

MatSOn Boats To Garry
Local Mail In Future

Dating from March Is Maui is to
have two or more mail deliveries per
month from Honolulu than heretofore
This will come about through con-
tract which the postoflice has recently
made with the Matson Navigation Co.
by which all Matson vessels calling
at Maui ports are to carry mails.
William Walsh, superintendent of
the Kahului Railroad was notified of
the new arrangement this week by F.
w. Vail superintendent of railway
mail service of the postofice. The
first mail to arrive under this con-
tract will be by the Lurline due to
arrive in Kahului next Thursday or
Friday.
Before the war the Matson boats
had a similar mail contract, but since
the war, until the present time, there
has been no contract with result that
no vessels except those of the Inter
Island fleet have handled mails.

Parents Not Guilty
Of Kidnapping Girl
Jury Finds That SanO MatSuura Was
Not Abducted From Husbands
Home. Was Long Time AgretiHg
On Verdict.

After occupying a full week in the
2nd circuit court, the japanese kid
mapping case, which has attracted a
good deal OF attention locally, came
to an end late last Tuesday afternoon
when the jury brought in verdict of
acquittal. The jury had been given
the case at 11:20 a. m, but it was
nearly $3.50 p. m. before it could agree
1t is reported that majority of the
IL was in favor of conviction at first
but was won over by the minority.
The charge of the grand-jury was
against f. Hirobara, Sanzo Taguchi
Sakichi TaguChi and Mrs. Sal Taguchi,
who were charged with having alb
Quoted Sano Matsuura from her hus-
bands home and taken her by force
back to the home of her parents. The
Matsuura woman was a Taguchi girl
who had married a Kokomo auto
mobile driver without her parents
consent. She disappeared from her
new home during her husbands alb
sence one day and it was alleged had
been forcibly removed by her parents
and their friends.
The testimony of large number of
witnesses was contradictory. The
girl herself testified that she had left
her husband of her own accord, but
the contention of the prosecution was
that she was forced to take this course
to shield her parents who would pos
sibly have been sent to Jail had they
been convicted.

Airplane Does Loop
The-LOOp On Ground
TreacherOuS Air Current Turns StOd-
dard Machine Over After Landing
Had Been Made-Slight Damage
No One Hurt.

Caught by freak gust of wind just
as it was reaching the ground on re-
turning from a fight, the Curtis air
plane Of the Stoddard Aviation Co,
which has been making flights on
Maui for the past two weeks, turned
completely over at the county fair
park about 8 o'clock Wednesday after
noon. Fortunately neither Pilot c. j.
Fern nor his passenger, a Japanese
named Yamatoshi, was injured and
the machine was not seriously damag-
ed.
The airplane had touched the
ground once, and as it bounced up
ward the strong eddy of wind caught
it and tipped it over so quickly that
those who witnessed the accident
scarce realized what was happening.
The front part of the machine and
the tail rudder held the body OF the
car up preventing the occupants from
being crushed. The heavy web belts
also prevented their falling out so
that they hung head downward for
a few moments until they were able
to eXtricate themselves.
The Japanese passenger appeared
greatly gratified with the unusual
feature of his landing, seemingly feel
ing that he had had some added thrills
thrown in gratis, and he paid his $40
for his ride in the greatest good hu-
NOR.
The airplane sustained a broken
propeller a broken rudder, and some
other minor damage, none of which
is serious, according to Mr.. Fern.

WTLSON .WITHHOLDS
REPORT ON ARMENIA

WASHINGTON, March 11-Recom-
mendations that the United States ac-
cept mandate over Armenia are be-
lieved to have been embodied in the
report submitted by the American
Mission, headed by General Harbord,
on its return to the United States.
While no official announcement
could be obtained in this regard, GER
tain Senators say that developments
point to that fact. The Missions re-
port still remains unpublished, despite
the fact that the Senate has twice re-
quested President Wilson to transmit
a copy to it.
1t is reported that some Senators
knew of the mandatory recommends
ions, and it is to that fact that they
attribute the Presidents silence.
Reports from Paris last October,
after the Mission had returned there,
said that the members were sharply
divided on the mandate question, the
military members opposing and civil
ians supporting the recommendations.
