FINED FOR CONTEMPT

Attorney Eugene Murphy was fined
$25 in the Circuit Court on Tuesday
as result of his not being in court on
Monday and a misunderstanding which
resulted in the calling of jurors for
Tuesday when no case was ready for
them.
Attorney Murphy's explanation was
that he was suddenly required in the
District COURT at Lahaina Monday
when clients there were to be sur
rendered by their bondsmen and it
was necessary to make other arrange
ments for them. Before leaving, Muir
ply says, he was unable to reach the
Circuit Court Judge or clerk and ar
ranged that the court should be in
formed that he had entered demur-
rer in the case called on calendar
and if the demurrer should be over
ruled he would wave jury in the case
coming up next day.
In some way a misunderstanding
arose, an Interpreter was brought
from Paia and jury was called foi
the next morning, thus putting tho
county to Unnecessary expense.

Banana Plantations
On Paying Basis and
Four Months Young

Hawaii Banana Plantations, Ltd,
the chief land holdings of which are
at Nahilku, is in actual operation and
is operating on substantial basis.
According to w. A. Anderson, presi-
dent of the Plantations, a former
Maui resident, the net earnings of the
company during the month of Deem
ber We're at the rate of 20fo annum
upon the entire capitalization and the
total capital has not been all paid in.
There is still, he says, a limited
amount of stock for sale. And it has
been operating less than four months.
The present business of the COM
pany, according to it's year end report
consists of shipments from about co.
600 trees on Oahu, the income from
the business paying all salaries, office
and other expenses and showing a
monthly net profit of $4,000. The ex.
tension of business is being conduct
| ed along two lines, increasing the
volume of shipments from trees now
| bearing and the development through
new planting of increased production
The chief land holdings, of the com,
pany, as said, are Nahillu, 1921 acres
a number of leases have been applied

such development will lead others to

Journalists of World
Will be Invited to
Make Visit to Maui

Newspaper men from all parts of
the Islands are to meet in Honolulu
a week from tomorrow to make pre-
liminary plans for the International
Press Congress which is to be held in
the Islands October Ala, next.
The congress is to be not one of
the several Pan-Pacific Congresses or
conventions being arranged for by
the Pan-Pacific Union, but full
fiedged congress" which has chosen
Honolulu for it's convention city.
Hence it will arrange it's own general
programa and such program of enter
tainment and sightseeing as may be
suggested for it must be secondary to
the program it lays out for itself.
In Hilo the newspapermen have or
ganized and will ask that half of the
sessions be held there. If such be
the case it may be expected that Hilo
will be called upon to guaranty half
of the $4,000 expenses that Honolulu
is putting up.
Mauis requests will be less ambitious
than those of the Big Islanders. This
Island will offer the visitors an oppor-
tunity to see its beauties and wonders
of scenery and at the same time learn
more of the resources of the Islands
than would otherwise be possible, agri
culture, horticulture and stock raising
1t has been recommended that the Fail
be held during the visit of the public
lists in Hawaii nei. Its suggestions in
the program will be in the form of an
invitation to the visitors and it will
not ask for more than two or three
days of their time.

Stimulate Demand For
Canned PineappleS is
". A. Baldwin'S Advice

Organization of Hawaiian Islands
pineapple packers to plan ways of sti-
mulating demand for the fruit abroad
is advocated by w. A. Baldwin, vice
president and assistant manager of
the Haiku Fruit and Packing Company
of Haiku. who returned Wednesday
evening, following vacation in San
Francisco since December /.
The Griffith Durney company of
San Francisco is the mainland repre-
sentative and controlling factor in the
Haiku company, and Mr.. Baldwin held
extensive conference with the San
FINncisco firm heads during his alb.
sence. Mr.. Baldwin says:
THE pineapple packers of the Is
lands are more fortunate than most
fruit Gamers. The volume of business
done during 1920 was remarkable.
"The bulk of the record pack OF
more than 6,999,999 was sold. Pine
apple is more popular than any other
fruit, and this, coupled with the fact
that it is sold at lower price thar
other canned fruits, has still further
popularized this delicacy.
Like much else at present, the
pineapple market is dull The Ha
waiian packers should get together
and devise ways and means to NEE
the situation by still further stimulat
ing consumption to balance the in
creased production"

Sleepers Awakened by
Shouts of ''Fire" Flee
Hastily None Too Soon

Alarmed by shouts of Fire, Fire"
two men who were asleep in a three
room cottage at Lahaina did not pause
to consider manner of escape from
danger nor method of departure about
six o'clock Saturday morning. They
went out through windows and, at
that, one of them was painfully burned
about the face. The dwelling they
were occupying was destroyed and
the flames spread to three other near
by cottages which were damaged.
The burned premises belonged to
All Cook and were in the All Cook
camp in the block bounded by Front,
Lahainaluna and Laukini streets and
the Pioneer store. The buildings were
of better twpe of construction, built
by All Cook himself, three room cot
tages, excellent appearing little homes
The one destroyed was occupied by
two men who were awakened from
their sleep by shouts from without and
had some difficulty in making their
escape, such headway had the fire Sc
cured From that building it spread to
three other cottages of the same type,
also owned by All Cook.
How the fire started is unknown.
Neither of the two occupanys smoke,
so the theory it may have been caused
by sparks from pipe or burning
cigaret or cigar butt had to be ex-
cluded. The oil stove had not been
burning since the day before.
Insurance was carried by the owner
in the Home Insurance Company, OF
which the Bank of Maui is represen-
tative. The bank was notified Satur-
day, investigated the loss, adjusted il
and made payment on Wednesday
Payment made was $500 on the des'
troyed building and 5000 on the Others
that We're damaged.

Home For Physical
Detectives Desired

Appropriation for funds for the
establishment and maintenance of a
home for physically defective children,
the deaf, the dumb and the blind of
the Territory will be sought from the
next legislature, announces Mrs. w.
w. Thayer, president of the Hawaiian
Humane Society, in letter written
by her under date of January 23.
Mrs. Thayer points out that while
there is a day school for such children
in Honolulu there is no provision for
such children in other parts of the
Territory.
On Maui there are two entirely
blind children, six with very poor Wis
ion, ~ deaf and dumb and 20 with
very defective speech. MIs. Thayer
says she is indebted to the Humane
Department of Maui Woman's Club
Mrs. H. A. Baldwin, Clinton S. Childs
and Miss Rebecca Akana for such re
port
For the feeble minded the home
which oveTlooks Pearl Harbor is neal
ing completion, DR.. and Mrs. Bliss are
living there and it will soon be open
for the reception of feeble minded
children.
Another matter which is to be
brought before the legislature is the
securing of more humane methods o.
shipping cattle from other Islands to
Oahu.

"Tom" Clark, One-time
Prominent in Island
Politics, Passes on

"Tom Clark is dead. He passed
away at Malulani Hospital this morn
ing following a stroke of appoplexy at
his home on Wednesday evening.
There has passed from the stage one
of the best known of the Hawaiians
on Maui, one who, in his day was a
prominent figure in the troubled poll
tics that followed annexation, who
ranked prominently as a public speak
er and welded no inconsiderable in
fluence among his people and who, in
his declining years, held the esteem
of those who knew him as an office
holder and man by reason of his
conscientious and faithful perform
ance of his duties in Office as well as
in life.
"Tom" was at the court house as
usual on Wednesday, returned to his
home and after super, was talking
with his adopted son when he was
stricken. He was taken to Malulani
Hospital and never rallied.
Long a sufferer from asthma, Clark
had been failing for several years and
his declining health was more notice
able for the past year. Though he
was daily at his duties it took him a
long time to make his way from and
to his home.
In early years Clark was a cowboy
and established a reputation in that
profession in which he always took
pride.
When the first county home rule
law passed he was appointed district
magistrate and served for about two
weeks until the law was held unconsti-
tutional At the first county election
he was elected deputy sheriff and
served one term in that office. When
Judge Edings went on the bench he
was named as court bailiff.
1t was especially while campaigning
for Prince David that Clark won his
reputation as an orator in the Ha-
waiian tongue, one which he sustain
ed for several years until failing
health relegated him from the speak
er's platform.
This morning court adjourned in
respect to his memory and the Court
House flag lowered to half mast.

Cartridges
Pretty Playthings

Children sucking on dynamite cart
ridges while others rode "teeters" and
romped about the playground with
pockets full of the explosives, was the
discovery made by pop" Hutton, Boy
Scouts commissioner Sunday after
non He took full hundred of the
dangerous things away from the
youngsters.
Accosted by a little child as Santa
Claus" as many Waluku children
have called him since the Christmas
tree, Hutton noted that the little thing
had brass tube in it's mouth. He
succeeded in getting it away and found
it was a dynamite cartridge upon
which the youngster was biting. He
learned there We're "lots more over
there" at the playground and then
started a search. A child on the teet,
er had its pockets full, and other chill,
dren were similarly loaded with eX-
plosives.
Hutton gathered together about a
hundred of them and turned them over
to police officer.
