Traffic Ordinance
Ready for Action by
Supervisors Today

Both the traffic and pedestrian or
dinances are expected to be passed
by the board of supervisors at their
session this afternoon. What is eX-
pected to have been the last hearing
on them was held yesterday after
noon. -
In the traffic ordinance there have
been numbers of changes since first
introduced, chiefly in the sections re-
gardng lights. The clause relating
to approval of lighting devices and
costs therefor was eliminated and the
clause relating to lights themselves
as it now stands calls for lights
which shall be properly focused,
throw the rays directly ahead and the
main rays of which shall not rise to
height greater than 60 inches at a
distance of 100 feet. There shall be
no bulb or globe used of candle
power in excess of 80 and there is no
provision for the frosting or bulbs.
The provision had the approval of the
legislative committee of the Chamber
of Commerce. 1t also provides that
the sheriff shall erect testing boards
for lights in certain specified locali-
ties convenient to motor car users of
the various districts.
The legislative committee of the
chamber met this week with Pres
ident Penhallow of that body and G.
f. Morris of the Royal Hawaiian
Garage, the only one of several auto
mobile experts invited to the meeting
to attend. 1t went into the subject
at length.
Another provision to meet the re-
quirements of the pedestrian ordin-
ance requires a car meeting a pedes-
trian approaching it to swing to the
left as it would in passing car go
ing in the same direction.
Judge L. l., Burr appeared before
the board and urged that the lighting
question is a matter of fact, not OF
theory, as to whether lights are glar-
ing or not He asked that careful
experiments be made to determine
the subject and that the ordinance
specify what candle power bulbs
were TO go with specified lenses. He
criticised the definition which uses
the words "or causes to be operated
holding it would make a person rent
ing a taxi responsible for breaches OF
/ the ordinance and he also criticised
/ the muffler provision which the board
seeks to rectify by inserting the word
unnecessary"
At the meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce yesterday afternoon it was
suggested that equestrians might be
included with pedestrians in the keel
to the left ordinance.
The board met Wednesday fol-
routine business, receipt of CORES
pondence and reports and will com
plete its regular business today, it i:

Champion Navy Team
Will Play An-Maui
Eleven on Sunday

Oahus champion football team, the
Navy eleven, will be seen in action
on Wailuku field Sunday afternoon.
The players arrived at Kahului yes
terday on a naval vessel and will re-
main until Sunday evening. Against
them will be pitted an All-Maui team
made up of the strongest players
from Wailuku, Paia and Puunene.
They are practicing hard in perfect
ing team work for their meeting with
the strongest aggregation of the Is
lands in order to make the best posi-
BILE showing.
Wednesday afternoon a radio mess
age came to the football committee
announcing that the Navy eleven
would be here yesterday and asking
that game be arranged for them on
Sunday. The message came without
any previous negotiations on the part
of the football committee though AN
article appeared in the Honolulu pa
pers some time since that the strong
Navy eleven might make trip to
Maui. Then the committee got busy
to arrange for a game. The time was
short. A game had been announced
to be played between Paia and Wal.
luku and it was called off. Organiza-
ton of the best players of the three
teams into an All-Maui eleven was

Island have been anxious to see a
team that is thoroughly organized,
trained and coached. 1t is a SOME.
what ambitious undertaking for a
community in it's first year of Ameri-
can college football to attempt to pit
team against what is probably the
best outfit ever brought together in
the territory.
Probable Line Up
The Navy players have gone
through the Oahu season unbeaten
and with record of six victories.
Their last victory was over the Pala-
mas by a score of 40. They have
easily outclassed everything put in
the field against them in Honolulu.
Its lineup at the opening of the game
on Sunday is expected to be as fol

Navy-Carruthers, center; List,
right guard; Dear, left guard |;
Braithewait, right tackle; Razor,
left tackle; Wright, right end;
Hazelrigg, left end; Aiken, right
half; Brown, left half; Gates, full
back; Wilson, quarterback.
Former Contests
In the games played by the two
Maui teams against the Marines il

Chamber Takes Up
Several Subjects
OF Deep Interest
Strong Argument Offered by
l.. A. Thurston Against
Change of Status of Terri
tory; Haleakala Explained.

Reports of committees were the
chief subjects before the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon but
they brought out matters of more
than ordinary interest including a
statement of the exact status of Ha
leakala division of the Hawaii Ma
tional Park from L. A. Thurston who
knew the status of all sections of the
park better than any one else in Ha-
waii having been one of those most
instrumental in securing the forma
ton of the Islands national park
Mala wharf, importance of loan fund
projects and the proposed change of
the status of the territory were also
under discussion.
Mr.. Thurston explained that the
title to Haleakala crater is in five
owners and has never been taken
over by the federal government
though acts Of congress lay down
boundaries for the park. The owners
all except one of a very small area,
have offered rights of way and other
satisfactory arrangements to the gov
ernment.
Mr.. Thurston also called attention
to the need of action to prevent the
destruction of the silver sword Of
which there were formerly large
fields and touched on the vast num-
Der Of goats in the crater.
AS to Mala wharf it was stated on
hear say that those most interested
favor "T' shape addition instead of
extending further directly out and SO
lengthening the wharf
Mr.. Thurston was again heard from
place Hawaii under control of the
state department instead of the de-
partment OF the interior. He con
sidsred it step toward the loss Of
territorial rights and towards COM
mission government which he be-
lieves would be by military COM
mission. He is emphatically opposed
to the plan even if it would mean
that money now going to the federal
government would be spent here and
is not willing to surrender his rights
as a territorial citizen for lucre.
Judge Burr said he believed there
is a decision which would prevent
taking away of territorial rights and
Rev. J. c. Villiers asked several Ques-
tions as to comparison of the status
of Hawaii and the Philippines. The
reported attitude of Walter Dilling-
ham in Honolulu on the subject was
also discussed. Mr.. Thurston's re-
marks were warmly applauded and
the subject referred to the legisla-
tive committee which will report at
the next meeting.
Mr.. Thurston in presenting the re-
quest for Endorsement of the Adver-
tiser's guide book, which was given,
spoke about the Kahakuloa road and
the advisability of cutting off pro-
jecting points now difficult to turn.
He said the road was as fine scenical-
ly as the famous Olokele Canyon road
on Kauai and urged its improvement.
G. E. Morris was elected a member
of the chamber.
The harbor committee will report
on wharf tolls at the next meeting.

designations of Bank
Officers Is Reported
ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU, Dec. S-The Advertis
er publishes story to the effect that
it has private advices from Hilo of
three designations which are of wide
interest in banking and financial cir
cles of the Territory. 1t says that
Senator James Russell has resigned
as president of the Security Trust
Company and Herbert Truslow as
vice-president and manager of the
same concern.
1t adds that Leslie Forest has re-
signed as cashier of the Peoples
Bank and Trust Company of Hilo and
it has been made known that Russell
resigned as director of that institu-
tion in October and Truslow as its
vice-president in the same month. AL
though the Advertiser had report
of such facts at the time it was i'm
possible of confirmation then as Rus
sell was on the mainland and other
persons in Honolulu involved would
not talk.

ChiIdren's Home Is
Possibility Within
Next Few Months

During the holiday season efforts
are 10 be II ade to bring the Children
Hone iuEA TO a size sucn liIat an
actual start can be made and home
opened in the near future. There has
been turned into the fund in cash
$6,SOS and there are subscriptions or
actual promises in addition thereto
which will bring the sum to more
than $4,000. With additional funds
raised during the holidays and under
partially completed plans, it is eX-
pected that a home in Wailuku can
be opened within very few months.
Plans prepared for the Christmas
campaign will place mite boxes" in
a number OF the stores of the Island
during the holiday season into which
contributions may be dropped as a
gift to all OF the children of Maui
through the providing of home for
those who are least fortunate and on
the day and eve before Christmas
there will be tables in charge of
ladies at the busiest points in East,
West and Central Maui where contri-
buttons, small or large, Christmas
gifts to the fund will be received.
Present plans for the early opening
OF the home are far less ambitious
than were the first plans. Then fin
ancial conditions were more rosy
than now. With plantation pro
fits at a minimum OF nil, with bonus
es gone and wages reduced it has
become necessary to make the gar
ment suit to the cloth not to cut
cloth to meet desires for the garment
The project is so necessary, even
more necessary in present conditions
than formerly, that it seems best TO
make the start on whatever scale
can be undertaken, at least to make
such a start.
In the Christmas season thoughts
of children rise above other thoughts
and there is no more suitable season
the committee feels, for urging as
sistance in the way of gifts to needy
children that will be permanent than
on the eve of the anniversary of the
birth of the Christ.
