Japanese Paper Starts
StrikeSettIement Canard

A canard to the effect that the Oahu
plantations had capitulated to the
strikers by agreeing to a straight wage
of $3.50 per day, was perpetrated by a
japanese newspaper in Wailullu on
Monday last, and published as bull
letin in a store window on Market
street The bulletin purported to be
a translation of a wireless message
from Honolulu.
Although not credited by the haole
portion of the community, the report
created some little excitement for a
few hours. Manager Penhallow open
ly denounced the bulletin as a lie and
little later it was Withdrawn with
the explanation that someone in the
newspaper office has made a mis-
take"
SO far as can be learned there was
absolutely no foundation which might
make the alleged mistake plausible.

National Park Man
Sees Golden Future
H. M. Albright Enthusiastic Over
HaIeakala--PrediCtS Tourist BuSi-
ness will Dwarf Sugar And Pine
apple Industry OF Islands

Maui is to reap big profit its
multiple attractions for the tourist,
according to H. M. Albright, field as
sistant to the director of national
parks, who spent a part of last Sat
urday and Sunday on and in Hale
akala crater. He returned Monday
night to Honolulu where he made a
public address in which he predicted
that the time will come when the tour
list business will bring a bigger rev.
enue to the islands than all of the
present industries combined This
he said is the case today in Colorado,
where all the product of mines and
farms are not as much as the money
left in the state by the pleasure and
health seekers.
Mr.. Albright arrived with his wife
last Friday night from several days
spent examining the Kilauea crater
and surrounding country. He went
up lao valley, and was most enthu-
siastic over this wonder. The noun
tain trip was made under the aus
pices of w. o. Aiken, of the chamber
of commerce, who, however was un-
able to accompany him, this place be-
ing taken by w. A. Clark. Mrs. AL
bright did not go into the crater but
her husband spent the night there
He believes that the federal govern
ment will soon take steps towards
building a road up to the summit, and
possibly also a hotel at Olinda.

What They Think OF
The First Field Day

r. r. Baldwin-NeXt to the county
fair this is the best thing that Maui
has ever done. may, perhaps, have
got more enjoyment out of some
horse races, but this is bigger
thing for Maui than any horse race.
H. B. PenhaIIow-Great! Say, it was
absolutely all right! In itself it
more than justifies the building of
the fair grounds.
A. w. CoIlins-It was a mighty fine
thing. 1t is a demonstration Of
practical Americanization.
r. M. Morton (manager American Can
Co., Honolulu)-I don't believe it
would be possible for Honolulu to
do a thing like this-we couldn't get
the teamwork you have here.
w. o. Aiken-It was one of the biggest
events Maui ever pulled off. Why,
it had any horse racing skinned a
mile-that is as far as benefit to
Maui is concerned.
ment made no mistake when it
fathered that proposition. 1t is
bound to be big thing for Maui.
William Walsh-There were men help
ing on the track today who We're
sacrificing important business to be
there. But none of them begrudged
it. 1t was cheap at any price.
Paul cCaughey-We're pleased and
we're tired; but it was worth it, l
think. But it isn't anything to what
Wen be able to do next year.
Sam kaIama-It is a big thing for
Maui in a number of ways. 1t will
help to make men of our boys and
teach them how to profit by defeat
as well as by victories.

Territorial Convention
Changed To Next Monday

Because Of the objection raised by
various delegates from the outside
islands to Friday, April as the date
for holding the republican territorial
convention in Honolulu, the territorial
central committee has advanced the
date to Monday, April 5. This is next
Monday. The convention is for the
purpose of nominating delegates to
represent the party at the national
convention to be held in Chicago June
8.
Emil A. Berndt, secretary of the
territorial committee, in letter to
Senator H. A. Baldwin advising him
of the change of dates, expresses the
hope that the change Will be accept
able to the delegates from the out
side islands, some of whom had COM
planned that the sailing time Of the
inter island boats made the date first
set practically impossible for them.
II. L. Holstein, of Kohala was one of
those who objected, and Mr.. Baldwin
W leone who was in part at least,
pr. Nonsible for the change.

II. c. & S. Co. Dairy To
Be Greatly Improved

The Puunene Dairy, of the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Co., is soon to
be augmented by the addition of Il
new concrete milking barn, large
enough to accommodate fifty COWS at
a time, and equipped with the latest
thing in pneumatic milking machinery
and other adjuncts. Plans for the
new structure are being drawn
it is understood, and the actual
construction to be started as
soon as possible. The building WI
fue the present barr
The nerd is now sup
plying between 10000 and $4,000
quarts Of milk a month, practically
all of which is used on the planta-
ton, although considerable supply
is going to help the schools combat
the malnutrition among the pupils.
Considerable sales have been made
recently of good grade heifers from
the Puunene herd to the Grove Ranch
and to the Wailuku Sugar Company,
in both instances to build up milk
supplies for their respective commun-
tiles as quickly as possible. The
Puunene herd is now about One-third
pure Holstein blood, and the aim is
ultimately to have nothing but pure
hreds on the place.

II. W. Rice Leases
EnOS Ranch Lands
Estate Property Brings Good Figure
Some OF Land May Be Put In
Sugar - Cattle On Ranch Also
Bought For $4,000.

One Of the largest real estate trans
actions for some time on Maui was
consummated last Saturday with the
signing of papers by which some 900
acres of land in Makawao, known as
the Enos ranch lands, are leased for
20 years to Harold w. Rice at a rental
of $500 per annum, the lessee also
paying the taxes on the property.
The deal in question had been on
for some weeks with the trustees of
the Enos Estate-C. D. Lufkin, J. V.
Marciel and Ben Lyons-and interest
was injected into it by the fact that
the new Pauwela Pineapple Co., was
a bidder for the lease. Besides the
leasehold it is understood that Mr..
Rice has purchased all of the cattle
upon the ranch for the sum of $4,000.
The price paid for the lease is con-
sidered a very excellent one, but from
the fact that portion of the property
is said to be subject to irrigation from
the A. & B. plantations uruonos,--'
thus may be developed as cane lana,
the rental is not considered excessive
by those familiar with the situation.
Mrs. Rose Enos, sole beneficiary
during her lifetime under the will OF
the late A. Enos, is having plans made
to build a large residence on the lot
in Wailuku adjoining the Pioneer
Store. on High street. Workmen be-
gan yesterday the razing of the old
dwelling house which has occupied the
site for many years.

Kills Husband Who
Had Won Back Wife
Porto RiCan Seeks Out Rival And
Shoots Him After Brief Quarrel
Woman In Case Had Left Slayer
For Husband.

Frank Riva, a Porto Rican laborer
at Ulumalu, was shot and instantly
killed on Monday morning by another
Porto Rican named Cleofe. The rtagedy
occurred in pineapple field where
Riva was at work with his wife and
a number of other persons, and in the
presence of his two little daughters.
Cleofe was arrested short time later
and is now in the Wailuku Jail.
The murder was the outcome of
trouble over Riva's wife Jennie. The
couple, until about weeks ago had
not lived together for some years,
but Mrs. Riva had been living with
Cleofe. A reconciliation was recently
effected between Riva and his wife,
she returning to him at his Ulumalu
home.
According to the testimony before
the coroner's jury on Tuesday, Cleofe
hired an automobile in Wailuku on
Monday and drove to Riva's house.
Finding no one at home he went to
the field where Riva was working
called him to one side, and afteF a
brief discussion in which the men ap-
peared to be quarreling, three shots
were fired and Riva fell dead.
Cleofe, who is said to be profess
sional gambler, told the police that
Riva had tried to shoot him and that
he fired in self defense.
The murdered man is said to have
been an Industrious worker and to
have IN account of several hun
dreG, collars accumulated from his
savings. His two daughters, aged 8
and 5 years, had been raised by him
during the separation from his wife

Thunder, Lightning
Rainfall and Snow
Features OF Unusual Storm On Tues
day Night Rains OF Past Fort
night Best In 3 Years In This
Section.

A violent thunderstorm, accom-
panied by a heavy downpour of rain
on the lower levels and a snow fall on
the mountain sufficient to nicely cap
the summit, was the rather unusual
meteorological phenomenon on Maui
last Monday night. The lightning was
vivid and for half an hour or more
that and the accompanying thunder
claps played hob with the nerves of
the more timid of the community.
In Wailuku the rainfall during the
night amounted to trifle less than
half an inch
Big Drought Broken
The heavy rains of last week and
the week before have been the best
on central and east Maui in three
years, according to w. f. Pogue, man
ager of the East Maui Irrigation Co.,
and have been of immense benefit to
the plantations. While the rains were
at times very heavy and large
amount ran off into the sea, still it
was not so violent but that the earth
had oppcuytnity to become thoroughly
soaked-the first time that has been
the case for months.
Out along the bitches on East Maui
the precipitation in 10 days ending
last Friday, ranged from 20 to 40
inches, according to locality, accord
ing to Mr.. Pogue. At Kailua the re-
cord for last week was 2S16 inches,
while at Haiku it rained S.9 inches.
West Maui has also received some
welcome wetness although in much
less degree than the rest of the island
At Kaanapali last weeks record was
LAC inches.

Women Still Work
To Abolish ShaCkS
All Phases Of Matter Considered By
Committee Which May Report
To Club Next MOnday-A Action
Uncertain.

The Woman's Club is not pau with
its campaign against the shacks being
built adjacent to the extension of the
Malulani hospital grounds, though
what will be the outcome of the in
vestigatiOns is not yet patent The
matter will probably be taken up by
the general body of the club at its
regular meeting next Monday after,
noon.
The committee which has been
handling the matter has interviewed
about everybody in any way connected
with the mater, and by this time has
doubtless obtained considerable light
on all phases of the situation.
The fact that the lease by the Wal
lulu Sugar Co., to the Bank of Maui
and the suitcase by the latter to Sato,
the japanese contractor, are both
presumably proof against breakage.
has brought out the suggestion of
possible friendly termination of the
leases so that the county might be
able to secure the land without con-
demnation, and at the actual cost of
amount investment by the several
parties interested Whether this is
possible at this stage of proceedings
is not definitely known, though every
body concerned claims to be anxious
to do the right thing and to please the
women.
1t is known that at least some of
the members of the Club favor the
county's condemning if necessary not
only the property under controversy
but the adjoining property of the
knights of Pythias as well, and open
ing the whole as a community park
until such time as it may be needed
for hospital extension.
