TROUBLE FOR ELECTRICIANS

These are the days of trouble for
the electricians and pole line men of
the Island. The wind storms menace
the lines with falling trees and flying
branches; the deluge of rain ard
storm freshets carry away waterheads
and eat out the bitches of the power
plants; the lightning strikes the
transmission lines and smashes the
insulators and throws things out of
commission generally; and with it all
the roads anywhere off the macadam
are practically impossible.
The other day when there was so
much electrical disturbance the Wal
ahi power line was struck 32 times.
The reinforced concrete poles furnish
an attractive mark, and an easy line
OF conduction for a charge of light
ming, especially when everything is
sopping wet. The recent surging of
the lights and temporary cessation of
the current were due to the line being
struck by lightning.
The telephone lines also have been
troubled in much the same way and
it has been dangerous to operate
them during the lightning periods. So
far as the lines themselves go there
has been very little damage done and
very little trouble.

BURGLAR ENTERS HOME
OF REV. r. W. 1AYlESS

A burglar of unknown nationality
entered the home of Rev. r. w. Bay
less. of Lihue at 1 o'clock yesterday
morning but was frightened away be-
fore he secured anything.
Mr.. Bayless was awakened by the
reflection of the electric light from
the dining room. and, with Mrs. Bay
less and the servant girl, proceeded to
investigate. He stationed Mrs. Bay
less and the girl out in the front yard
where they could watch the house,
while he went through the rooms. The
marauder, however. took alarm and
was seen by Mrs. Bayless making
hasty retreat through the rear of the
premises.
Mr. Bayless had revolver. but no
cartridges for it. He remedied this
defect yesterday afternoon and should
another gent with burglarious intent
visit the parsonage, he will be given
warm reception.

.HARb0R WORK
TO BEGIN SOON

Richard Quinn of the, U. 8. Engin.
eer accompanied by P. M. Morris,
came over from Town by the Kinau
last Saturday to make necessary pre-
liminary arrangements for the conduct
of the Nawiliwili harbor construction
Mr.. Morris is an engineer of large
experience in just that kind of work
and he is to have charge of the con.
struction work for the Federal Gov
ernment. He came over mainly to
acquaint himself with the conditions
here, so that he might the better
understand just what is to be done
and how it can best be done. He
has in hand most of the necessary
equipment required for the work
which will come from Town, much of
it heavy stuff so that landing and
transportation facilities are a first
prerequisite.
1t was suggested to him that he put
in at once a temporary pier or wharf
on the South side OF the Bay where
this material could be landed direct,
and this he will probably do.
He also looked into the matter of
camp sites, water supply, etc.
He proposes to bring his labor en-
tirely from Honolulu g. :. not to dis.
turb the labor equilibrium here.
Unfortunately Saturday was an
exceedingly stormy day, not condu-
Give to getting about, but it is under.
stood that he satisfied himself on the
main issues. He returned on the
same day.
He indicated that the work would
be undertaken Immediately and pushed
with vigor. .4~...

DoINGs IN THE
LlHUE DISTRICT COURT

The new year in the Lihue District
Court began with the arraignment of
pair of youthful Filipino thieves,
accused of stealing a large sum of
money from a countryman some time
in December last year. Both pleaded
guilty and were given a year each in
the County jail.
A hearing was had yesterday in the
matter of one Ching Yokiu, Chinese
rice planter of Wailua charged with
perjury.
The case arose out of alleged false
testimony in the Circuit Court in Oct.
ober last year in the case of Wong
Fat VS. Ching Yokiu, Hee Fat, gar.
nishee.
County Attorney s. X. Kaeo pros.
ecuted with p. l.. Rice associate. A
lengthy hearing was had, which re.
suited in Mr.. Rice withdrawing after
disagreement with the County Attor-
ney and the County Attorney request.
ing the Court to dismiss the case on
the ground of insufficient evidence,
which request was granted and def
endant discharged.
All Tan, Chinese of Niumalu, was
nabbed by Internal Revenue agents
on Saturday and charged with having
opium in his possession. Rather than
take trip to Honolulu to face the
music in the Federal Court, All Tan
consented to be tried in the local
District Court.
All Tan pleaded guilty and was
fined $4,000 by the Court.

MEMBERS OF cANTATA HoNoRED

In the spacious home of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Rice, Jr. last Friday
night, occurred one of the happiest
social scenes that has been witness
ed in Lihue in many years. The par
Elephants in the recent Christmas Can
tata, with their life partners, totalling
upward Of fifty, were the guests of
this generous and affable couple.
Shortly after arriving, the guests
were ushered into the large dining
room where tables fairly groaned
under a sumptuous turkey dinner,
accompanied with all the necessary
viands which go to satisfy the last
craving of the human appetite The
meal being served in buffet style, it
could be easily seen that the copious
helping which each conferred upon his
or her own plate was an omen of the
desire to fully enjoy the hour. And
yet, some claimed to have the right
to come back" When all the abil-
ity for consumption was exhausted,
the feast yet endured.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in wit and humor, mysterious
parlor stunts and a program of elo-
cution and music that could be found
only in the heart of the Cantata per-
sonnel.
Coming as great surprise, Mr. VIM
Rice in brief and fitting speech in
behalf of the Cantata personnel, pre-
sented to the directress, Mrs. Ralph
w. Bayless, beautiful sterling silver
tipped baton and to the pianist, Mrs.
William Grote, a handsomely engraved
koa tray as tokens of esteem. The
recipients responded with grateful
appreciation.
The evening came to close with a
marvellous spirit of goodwill; with
fondest recollections of the hours of
hard labor together; and with uni
ted esteem for the host and hostess
for this occasion.

"REDS" BLAMED
FOR STRIKE ON
FIJI ISLANDS

Sidney, New South Wales-By
Mail. Fears that boishevism may
take a hold upon the $4,000 East
Indian coolies in the Fiji islands,
who have been imported over a
period of years to work the sugar
plantations, have been expressed by
the Fiji Planters associatiation, &C
cording to adyices reaching here to
day.
The Indians have Just carried out
a six-months strike which paralyzed
the sugar industry and caused
heavy losses to the planters. They
had presented demands that the
planters characterized as "extrava-
CANT" and refused to grant. These
demands, the planters declared,
we're the result of the efforts of
agitators who are preaching that
the Indian should not 'salaam" q
white person. and similar pro-
nOuncement of race equality.
Under pressure from imperial au-
thorities, suffrage has been grant
ed the Indians, and the Fiji islands
will become more of an Asiatic
colony than European
The Fiji Planters association has
expressed itself as favoring the in
PRODUCTION of Chinese coolies instead
of further Indian immigrants.

CAR OPERATOR
BANDITS PREY
Peter Lind. lie Claire Street Motor
man In Davenport, Rob-
bed of $50.

Peter Lind. operator of a street
car in Davenport, was robbed of
$50 by a lone bandit at midnight
last night Lind was able to fur
nish the police with only a meager
description of the robber, who was
masked.
The bandit waited at the end of
the>line, Locust street and Eastern
avenue, and when Lind alighted to
change the trolley demanded money
at the point of a gun Lind turned
over his cash on hand and the
bandit faded into the darkness.
The point at which the robbery
took place is a particularly lonely
spot. The LeClaire cars generally
carry passengers to the end of the
line, but in this instance Lind was
the sole occupant. It is evident
the bandit was awaiting this OPP
portunity The motorman noticed
the approach OF the man in the
darkness but believed he was a
passenger for the trip back to the
business district
Lind hurriedly reported his loss
to the police and officers rushed to
the scene. The immediate vicinity
was searched for an hour but with
out success.
