HONOLULU, Sept 4-Oficial and
unqualified denial was made Saturday
by Frank Atherton, second vice-pres-
ldent and director of the American
Factors, Ltd, of the rumor current on
the streets for several days of ire
gularities in the finances of that cor
poratiOn.
Persistent Tumor," as the street
had it, intimated that there had been
discovery of financial manipulations,
the figures mounting higher and high
er with each day These rumors are
fatty denied by Mr.. Atherton, who
stated yesterday:
1T is not to the credit of the intelli-
gence or sobriety of Honolulu that
such things as these are possible in
a business community such as we
claim TO have here These rumors are
so unfounded and injurious that it is
hard to believe that they are not mali
ciously started"

Dodge Takes Life
Just AS Place For
Him Is Offered

The life and career of Charles l..
Dodge, better known on Maui as
Doctor Dodge, and for some time the
resident manager of the Pioneer Hotel
at Lahaina came to a tragic ending
some time between noon and midnight
on Tuesday of last week when he COM
mitted suicide by hanging himself
with an old shirt in his room at the
Lahaina armory.
The suicidal act and the resultant
death of Dodge did not become known
until Friday morning when by chance
Samuel Mookini, teacher at the La
hainaluna school, entered the armory.
That something was wrong became
evident Immediately to Mookini. The
body of Dodge having hung in his
room open to exposure was in a grue-
some state of decomposition and
swarms of flies surrounding the outer
doors of the room led to the discovery
Mookini left the aTmory in search OF
an officer TO whom he might report
and it is said found Sheriff Crowell
who at the time was just entering La
haina on a business visit. According
to the story told, Mookini returned to
the Armory with the Sheriff and the
door leading into Dodge's room was
forced, revealing the horrible specta-
Gle.
Hanging from a door by an old
shirt which had been converted into
the necessary rope, his feet touching
the floor in such a condition that he
could at will have relieved the strain
that slowly but surely brought death,
was the body of Dodge.
Letters Explain
In the room were found three notes
written by Dodge explaining why he
sought death at his own hands. One
told of his being unhappy, saying he
had no friends or dear ones to care
for him. Another that he was greatly
depressed at being unable to find EN-
ployment, and another, that for some
time past he had been in failing
health. There is little doubt but that
Dodge's act was caused from days
perhaps weeks of constant broodine
over his plight
Position Offered Too Late
II is the irony of fate that a report
is circulated that on the day the body
of Dodge was found lifeless in his
room. a letter from Honolulu arrived
Offering the suicide a position of taiI
standing in that city.
Financially, it appears Dodge haC
little cause to worry. His expenses
were small and papers left by hin
show a deposit of over 5000 in Mau
bank. This, it is reported, he left
mainly to churches.
Dodge was a man quiet and un
obtrusive and little heard or spokeI
-Rf in the West Maui community
? y Interment of the body took place
Friday afternoon at the Lahaina Gem
etery.

Fruits Now Ripening
May Be Shown AT Fair
And Receive Prizes

Fruits picked now or at any time
between now and the Fifth Annual
Maui County Fair which will open on
October u, may be shown at the
Fair. A departure from former Fairs
is that there will be a cold storage
display in the fruit section of the
Agronomy building Already some
specimens have been laid away for
exhibit in mid October and Judge d.
II. Case, who again heads the de
partment of fruits exhibits tells how
more can be kept for fair time dis
play.
, In the past the display of fruits al
though they have been wonderfully
fine have been limited to an extent
by inability to keep specimens in the
natural state for days and perhaps
weeks. Fine specimens which would
be prize winners if shown. ripen
ahead of fair time, and in conse-
quence are not shown.
Judge Case says that those who
have such specimens may show them
at the fair if they will follow his di-
rections. Such fruits should be cut
before fully ripe at least two or three
days and perhaps week. Two in
ches of stem should be left attached
to the specimen and the end of such
stem should either be dipped in hot
parafin or burned with fire. Such
fruits may then be delivered to Judge
Case and he will have them put in
cold storage to be taken out when
the fair opens. They will keep per
fectly, he says. At the Fair they
will be kept under low temperature
and may thus be judged.
Fruits that have been artifcially
preserved in jars are not eligible to
compete against fresh fruits for
prizes but intending exhibitors may
enter into the competition by follow
ing out the suggestions of Judge
Case.

Fishing Schooners
Seek Honor Compete
international! Race
ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Five fish
ing schooners are seeking the honor
of representing Yankee fishermen in
the race for the International Fisher
mans Trophy late in October. The
elimination races will be sailed Octo-
ber II, 19 and II off Eastern Point.
The vessels which will fight it out
for the responsibility of trying to re-
gain the trophy won last year by the
Halifax fisherman Bluenose are ex-
pected to be Mayflower, Elizabeth
Howard, Yankee, Henry Ford and L.
"A. Dunton.
Puritan, the pride of Gloucester, on
which many deep sea fisherman
pinned his faith in the great race this
fall, lies piled up on the treacherous
shore of able Island. Along the wa
ter front the old sea dogs say that
the reason for Puritan's wreck last
winter was that she developed a
speed far greater than those on board
realized and fetched up on Sable
Island long before she was supposed
to be near it.
Now Gloucester folk are turning to
Henry Ford which ran aground on
Essex Beach when she was being
launched in April and was seriously
damaged. She was in port recently
with a large cargo of salt cod and
showed no structural defect as a re-
suit of her early mishap. But the
fisherfolll wish that Henry Ford were
a little longer and openly admit that
the other Gloucester entrant, Eliza,
beth Howard, is too heavy.
From a Gloucester point of view
the most profitable fisherman is one
measuring between 80 and 1O5 feet
at the waterline. For this reason
they frowned upon Mayflower and
Bluenose, which measures III feet al
the waterline.
The principal criticism of May
flower, barred from the race last yeal
was that those who built and owned
her We're not interested in the fishing
industry and that her cost was al
most 0,000-twice as much as the
/ average cost of a Gloucester fisher
man. Her carrying capacity also is
dess than the average fisherman. Il
is expected, however, that the In
ternational Committee will approve
/ Mayflower's entry, as she has made
a number of fishing trips. Although
her profits have not been as larg,
as in the case of some of the othe
vessels, owing to her high first cost
she has been fairly profitable to he
owners.
The recent races of the New Yorl
Yacht Club off Marblehead attracte,
great interest among Gloucester fish
ermen who attended in large mum
bers to get pointers for their race
two months hence.
While the deep-sea fishermen ar
unsurpassed in the art of getting tn
most out of their vessels under lowe
sails or in making runs in from tn
banks, they are not quite so versatil
as the amateurs in the game of hi
ting the line a few seconds after tn
start
In the races of the last two yeal
they have had the benefit of the star

NJ VICE CAN GET PAPERS

A. M. Stoll, county clerk Of court, is
in receipt of communication from the
office Of the chief. examiner of the
government naturalization service at
st. Louis, Mo-, calling attention to the
fact that a number of certificates of
naturalization for soldiers naturalized
while in the service have been turned
over to that office and the owners of the
certificates cannot be located. The war
department withheld these certificates
during the war and after the armistice
was signed an effort was made to de-
liver the certificates but many of the
men could not be found. Clerk of
Court Stoll states that if there are any
ex-service men in Morrison county who
are entitled to these certificates and
have not received them, they should
call at his office and he will give them
any information necessary to obtain
them, or, if they choose, they may
write direct to the Office of Chief Ex-
aminer, Customhouse, st. Louis, Mo-, for
them. In requesting any given certif-
cate the candidate should state when
and where he was naturaGzed and
should.give any additional information
that mAy be needed to identify his case.
