Inter-ISland Steamers
Have Rough Trips and
Schedules are Upset

Inter-Island shipping has been hav-
ing a hard shaking up and has been
subjected to rough treatment by the
elements during this week and reports
of passengers reaching Wailuku tell
of uncomfortable times, especially on
the Monday trip from Hilo to Lahaina
on the Mauna Kea.
Manuel Rocha, travelling out of Ho-
nolulu, quotes the captain and engin-
eer OF the Mauna Kea as saying that
the trip from Hilo to Lahaina was
the wors. they ever experienced.
Passengers who arrived from Hilo
early Tuesday morning say the water
was very choppy in Hilo harbor be-
fore the Mauna Kea left port and that
as she got out it became steadily
rougher, being especially bad off Ono
mea and thence all the way along the
Hamakua coast. They report that
things were afoat tween decks and
that steerage passengers were waist
deep in water Landing was not eff
fected at Lahaina, they report, until
after three o'clock and those coming
to Waikiki did not reach here until
about 5. Mail from Hilo appears to
nave DCNh N6tl llSu w llOiiOiuiu ici
none came over on Tuesday nor with
the Kilauea mail when it arrived, re-
turning to Maui on Wednesday even
ing.
At Kahului Tuesday no passengers
were booked for Hama. Telephone
messages had told the InterIsland
Company that landing at the old wharf
was impossible and that seas were
N1rnn r.f
Other Trouble Reported
Wednesday the Claudine did not at
tempt to come back to Kahului from
Kaupo, the nearest 10 lIpahulu it
could make landing. Instead it
proceeded around TO Lahaina the other
way thus avoiding a rough voyage
around Hama Point. At that time Ka-
hului harbor was comparatively
smooth and she would have had no
difficulty in tying up alongside the
wharf.
Tuesday night the Mikahala did not
leave Honolulu. First reports came
from Molokai that she had not been
sighted and when the Mauna Kea ar
rived she brought news that the Mi
kahala had not departed.
While on several days the seas piled
up high against Kahului breakwaters
within the harbor there was no serious
inconvenience.

Lahainaluna School
Changes Advocated
Proposal is to Make Institution
Government High School;
Claimed it Does Not Now
Fill Original Purposes.

Abandonment of Lahainaluna as an
institution of the type such as it has
been conducted and the making of it
q government high school is a pro-
posal which is being advocated by
large numbers of residents of the La
haina district and a mass meeting was
held in the armory at Lahaina last
evening for the purpose of discussing
the proposal
Lahainaluna was started by the
missionaries as a school where Ha-
waiian boys might secure an educa-
ton and a training that would equip
them for the following of trades. 1t
is shown that today only about 40
per cent of the students are of Ha-
waiian or part Hawaiian blood and
1t is claimed that, for such reason, the
institution is not now fulfilling the
purptre for which it was created and
has been maintained.
AS further argument for the MAX
ing of Lahainaluna government
high school it is pointed out that in
the Laiaina district there is a popu-
lation of more than 1900 but that
there is only one school in the district
hat teaches studies of the seventh
grade or higher. 1t is said that in the
neighborhood of 40 Lahaina children
arr now attending school in Honolulu
a large proportion of whom would at
tend hisH school at home if it were
possible to do so and there are prob
ably about as many more who would
like tc attend high school but whose
parents means do not permit the;r
sending their children to Honolulu or
TO Hamakuapoko. Thus it is argued
that higf. school at Lahaina would
start with an attendance Of 60 to 70
Willie the school at Hamakuapoko
started with only 26.
1t is ful ther argued that Lahaina-
,luna has an excellent equipment for
l.anual training work for the boys,
for domestic science for the girls, for
II bu mess course and could also
maintain a two years course of pre-
paration for students for work in the
Norm al School, the law now requiring
two years of high school training for
entrance into the Normal School. In
short, that the school would have all
requirements except Fairgrounds.
Against this the matter of sentiment
is advanced and also that the buildings
are too far from the town of Lahaina
Proper.
ScL' Cl authorities, former Lahaina-
luna students and residents of the La
haina district, attended last nights
meeting.

Progress of Maui
Schools is Shown
Report Of Supervising Princi-
pal shows Growth and Gives
Much Instructive Data AS
To Registrations.

In the Maui schools the registration
on December II was 5971, an increase
of 400 from the previous December.
This and much other interesting in
formation has been received by Maui
News in a report from Supervising
Principal H. NJ. Wells which gives de-
tails as to nativity, parentage, classi-
fication by grades, attendance and
certain vocational work.
OF the 5971 children registered in
the public schools, only 153 are foreign
born but very large proportion are
of foreign parentage. OF such chill
dren the Japanese, as is to be ex-
pected, lead with 2713 or slightly
more than 45 percent. Portuguese
rank second with 986, Part-Hawaiians
follow with 795 and full blooded Ha-
waiians come next with 729. Then in
order follow Chinese $50, Anglo-SaXon
147, Porto Rican las, Filipino 1873,
Spanish 81, Korean AZ and all others
35.
By sex the boys predominate hav-
ing registration of 3131 compared
with 2840 girls while by ages only 121
are more than Is years of age and 80
percent of the children registered are
under IA years of age.
Records of attendance presented
show about percent of absentees,
the average daily absences in the
schools numbering 4S5 and the aver
age daily attendance 1866 on an en-
rollment of 5S51.
Figures on domestic and vocational
training being given show that 1857
are engaged in some gardening, 4S4 in
carpentry and shop work, 80 in print
ing, IL weaving, 425 cooking, 1923
sewing, knitting, 23 crocheting, PSI
in Hawaiian crafts, 3045 in primary
handwork, 1904 in care of buildings
and grounds and 1854 in supervised
play.
From the data presented numerous
indications of the excellent progress
the Maui schools are making can be
seen and these will be treated edi-
torial by Maui News next week.

Party on Kahoolawe
Storm Bound While
Home Folk Worry

Just as searching party was Or
ganizing to go to their rescue a party
composed of Angus McPhee, Paul f.
Lada, William A. Clark and Capt
William Feuerpeil returned from Ka-
hoolawe on Wednesday, two days late.
Anxiety began to be manifested for
them on Tuesday and was on the in
crease until their arrival home. They
have some entertaining narratives of
their experiences during the trip and
of the storm on Kahoolawe, including
a severe dust storm while they We're
out hunting goats.
On the journey over last week the
engine of the sampan became fracti
GUS and gave them much difficulty, de-
laying their arrival by a couple of
hours. They We're unable to get it
running property until late Monday
afternoon. Tuesday the weather was
too wild to permit start homeward
and so they waited until Wednesday.
They left with the wind southeast but
about half way across the channel it
whipped into the north and gave them
a hard gale TO buck.
Both Saturday and Sunday night the
party kept a big fire burning to show
their presence on the Island but when
the sampan's engine was repaired
Monday they did not bother with the
blaze longer. Tuesday night Frank
Cameron scanned the Island from
Maui with powerful glasses. Mean
time the wives of the married mem
bers of the party had grown anxious
and plans to send out a rescue party
were undertaken.
Relative to the dust storm they en-
eountered at the top of the Island
Lada says that at its height one could
not see two feet before ones face, Nc
Phee had just driven up a lot of
goats and as the storm struck he
shot the leader. The others in fright
at the storm and loss of their leader,
focked about him and he shot four
almost at his feet. Lada was stand
ing only a few feet away and could
not hear the shots. Two Hawaiians

Circuit Court Opens
Jury Trial Term and
One Case in Progress

Session of the circuit court is now
in full swing and disposition of the
accumulated cases on the criminal
docket are being disposed of, day by
day. Court convened Monday morn
ing but no trial was undertaken until
Tuesday. the case of Territory VS..
Megrone going to the foot of the cal
endar owing to the fact, that two OF
the witnesses for the prosecution had
not yet come back to Maui for the
trial.
Tuesday morning the case of the
Territory VS.. Ned Nicholas was set
tentatively for J2nuary 90, follow
ing the announcement of Attorney
Murphy that Lorrin Andrews of Ho-
nolulu had also, been retained for the
defense. 1t was agreed that the Mich
olas case should follow the case of
Territory vs. Bradford, wherein Miss
Bradford is charged with manslaught-
er for the running down with her
car of Japanese girl at Fair time.
The case of Territory VS.. Atong
Akiona, charged with larceny in the
second degree was disposed of by
the entry of plea of guilty after the
withdrawal of the plea of not guilty
anu ln6 was SlNth q
pended sentence of 13 months.
Jury Box Filled
The first case for which jury was
drawn was Territory VS.. Florentine
Ladisma, the charge being assault
with a deadly weapon. After a jury
had been empaneled and County At
torney had opened the case, Attorney
Murphy raised the point that the in
dctment charged assault with pistol
loaded with a leaden bullet, making
no mention of priming, cap or powder
and offered to have his client with
draw plea of not guilty and enter a
plea Of guilty of simple assault and
battery County Attorney Bevins said
he would consider the offer with the
idea of avoiding a trial and, after a
short recess of the court, the offer
was accepted. Sentence is to be pro-
nounced Saturday morning.
The case of Territory VS.. Cleofe
Ruiz went to trial on Wednesday,
proceeded through yesterday and is
on today. Other members of the jury
We're excused until Wednesday.
There is a rather long criminal cal

Assailant Of Ogawa
Is Believed Insane;
Victims to Recover

U. Ogawa and his clerk, who were
slashed by Kim Yong Soon, Korean,
in Ogawa's jewelry store on Market
street, Wailuku, last Friday will re-
cover. The Korean is still in custody
of the sheriff and is believed to be
demented. No support is found for
the theory that Kim was an agent for
the Korean independence society, of
which he was said to be a member.
Neither, it is thought, will Ogawa lose
the use of his arm, as was rumored.
Following the attack upon Ogawa
and his clerk, many reports were in
circulation One was to the effect that
Ogawa would die another that muscles
and tendons had been cut which would
render his arm useless if he recover
ed. Another rumor was that Kim was
Korean Nationalist and started a
raid on the Japanese in revenge of
injuries he believed to have been in
flicted upon his countrymen. No sub
sanitation of such theory could be
found by the officers.
Kim Yong Soon is said to have
shown signs of dementia previously
He formerly lived in the Hama district
and from there went to Waihee.
Though struck over the head with the
butts of two billiard cues welded to-
gether by Bill Cockett he sustained
no serious injury and quickly recov-
cred consciousness. On being ques-
toned all that could be secured from
him relative to his blood thirsty as
sault was: "They japanese; more bet
ter they die" Later he said he hea
noises in his head that told him to
kill the jewelr and his clerk. That
the noises started down in his body
and went up to his head. He is said
to have complained of hearing noises
on Cther occasions.
The weapon which the Korean WELD
ed so furiously was a wooden handled
file. the steel of which he had sharpen
ed into blade, 10 inches in length. Oga-
wa and the clerk were behind count
er across which he had to reach to
strike at them and it is evident that
if he had been able TO get into closer
quarters results would have been even
muI serious.

Haleakala Cancellation
Stamp is Now Put in Use

Wailuku's cancellation stamp ad-
vertising Haleakala as in the Hawaii
National Park, arrived at the post
office on "Wednesday and was put in
use by Postmaster Costa. 1t reads:
"Haleakala, National Park, Maui"
Proposal that Maui advertise the
greatest extinct crater in the world
upon the correspondence which it
sends out was first made publicly in
Maui News several monts ago. Post
master Costa then took the initiative
and made inquiry relative to securing
cancellation stamps, costs etc. Next
the matter was taken up with the
Chamber of Commerce which agreed
to bear the cost of purchase of a
stamp. Then came the securing of
approval from the post office depart
ment relative to wording. Use of su n
words as visit" or "see" is not per-
mitted and proposed wording had to
be changed. To avoid the appearance
of claiming a "Haleakala National
Park" as Hilo refers to "Kilauea Ma
tional Park" when it means Hawaii
National Park, the comma was plac-
ed after the word Haleakala.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Costa to
have the stamps on all outgoing let
ters and post cards from the Wailuku
postoffice cancelled with the Haleakala
announcement.

Trial of Ruiz for
Staying of Riva is
First Case Heard

Trial of the case of Cleofe Ruiz. ac-
cused of the murder of Frank Riva
began in the circuit court on Wednes
day A jury was secured in a sur
.prisingly snort time, County Attorney
Bevins made brief speech, Attorney
Murphy for the defense was even more
brief and the examination of witness
es began.
Ruiz is accused of having with ma
lice and premeditation caused the
death of Riva at Ulumalu last March
Doctor Rothrock was first witness
telling ol the wounds that caused
death, the second witness was the
wife of Ruiz, over whom it is alleged
the men quarreled Her testimony was
to the effect that she had married
Riva, left him for Ruiz and returned
to Riva again. She also said Riva had
agreed to give her-t to Ruiz if the lat
ter would furnish 500 for a divorce
She told of the meeting of the men
in the pineapple field, their going
away together at Riva's suggestion, of
such conversation as she had over
heard and of the sound of shots. Her
testimony on cross examination was
damaging to the character of the de-
ceased.
Filipino woman with whom Riva
had lived while his wife was with Ruiz
was next witness and her testimony
contradicted Mrs. Riva in numerous
details.
For the defense Ruiz testified in his
own behalf. He asserts that Riva was
armed, that he attempted to take the
pistol from Riva, told of a scuffle, the
discharge of the pistol, of Riva drop
ping it, of himself picking it up, fir
ing one shot to keep Riva off, of the
fatal shot and of subsequent events,
including his giving himself up.
Rebuttal was started Thursday af-
ternoon and the case is proceeding
this morning.

Tax Rate 2.SO

Lacking full details of the needs
Of the Territory which had been
expected to reach Maui this morn
ing, Chairman kaama of the
Board of Supervisors said today
that the tax rate for this year will
probably be 2.80 and at least will
not vary more than a very few
points from that figure.
1t has been the effort of the
board to hold the rate below three
percent and it has succeeded,
Chairman kaIama said. Maui Is
the only county in the Territory
in which the rate will not be high
er than three cents on the dollar
Of valuation. Should assessed VAL
uation be lower than last year, the
county will have to curtal expendi-
lures which the proposed rate is
designed to permit.
