Harris Home Entered
And Pistol Stolen

Money was the quest of visitor or
visitors in the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dick Harris Wednesday evening while
Mr. and Mrs. Harris were at the Hip
podrome picture house. Their home
was thoroughly searched for coin and
nothing was taken except revolver
which belongs to Harris and seventy
five cents. The police were search
ing for clews yesterday.
On their return from the theater
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris found the house
in confusion, bureau drawers pulled
out and the contents scattered. Jew
elry belonging to Mrs Harris had not
been taken and that, together with
the fact that nothing save the reyol-
yer and money was taken, leads to
the belief that cash was what the
thief or thieves searched for.

ed for Tomorrow

Lahaina and West Maui will have
their celebration on Saturday, April

Baldwin Does Not
Expect to Become
Nominee Again
Reafirms What He Said
When He Took Nomina-
ton But Adds That it is
Early to Make Promise

Delegate Baldwin does not expect
to be a candidate for rejection at
the fall elections. Matters of legis-
lation may arise which would render
it most advisable to send him to Wa
shington, but his intention is to serve
only at the present session.
Hardly had the votes been counted
when the question of the probability
of Baldwin becoming a candidate next
fall came in for discussion in Homo
lulu the Advertiser asserting that he
would and the Star Bulletin that he
would not. Maui News put the ques-
tion to him Wednesday morning and
he replied without hesitation: 1t is
quite a long time before election and
so is early to answer the question.
do not expect to be a candidate for
reelection. When | consented to &C
cept the nomination if it should be
offered to me by the party | said
would only take the delegateship for
the uneXpired term and would only
do so in order that the party might
get together at the time of the re-
gular election solidly behind candi
date who can and will win.
81 have not changed my mind.
do not expect to be a candidate for
reelection. That is all l can say now.
II was never a secret that Baldwin
was reluctant to consent to making
the race for delegate and was insis-
/ tent that if he did so it would be for
| the uneXpired term only. 1t is reported
that on several occasions since the
convention both delegate Baldwin
and Mrs. Baldwin have expressed
! their preference for Maui over Wa
shington and the desire to be back
in their home here when the session
of congress for which he has been
chosen is ended. Further he does
not like political campaigning of the
type he has undergone, and a new
candidacy would mean a primary as
well as an election campaign.
Political leaders of this country re
cognize the difficulty. They do not
see, on the one hand, how Baldwin
can avoid running again in the au
tumn unless a unanimity of senti
ment for some one else develops be
tween now and then, and, on the
other hand they say he was given
support of other aspirants on the
strength of his assertion that he
would be candidate only for the un
expired term.
The new delegate will leave Mau
tomorrow night and will sail from
Honolulu Wednesday. hurrytng his
, departure a week forward of his frs
announced plans.

VS.. Dr. George S. Aiken which has
been held under advisement since the
first of this month by District Ma
gistrate Harry Mossman was render
ed in the magistrates court yester-

fully into several lines of decisions
on the subjects of forgery, altered
instruments, and negligence on the
part of the drawer of an instrument
and of a person paying under an al
tered instrument and his decision
covers six typewriter pages.
For the plaintiff Murphy claimed
that the defendant was liable for the
$120 because space had been left tC
write the figure "1' before the figure
800" and the words zone hundred
before the word twenty" alleging ne
gligence which made the commission
of crime possible and asserting tina
where one of two innocent persons
must lose he who was negligen
should be the loser
The defense claimed it was tn,
/ forgery and not any negligence ol
the part of the signer of the checl
that occasioned the loss. The de
fense offered to confess judgemen
for 500 at the trial.

ROW ON DISMISSALS
Harding Insists Acts In Inter
est Of Efficiency.

Washington, April 4.-President
| Harding's dismissal of 29 bureau of
engraving executives was the center
of another storm of democratic
protest in congress today despite a
White House explanation that the
president had not intended by his
action TO 'refect on the character" of
any of the discharged officials.
Senator Caraway Dem., Ark.
declared the presidents unheralded
dismissal order had been "inhuman
and inexcusable'. Several other
democratic senators joined in the
attack, while in the house Represent
atlve ByrDes (Dem., Tenn.) assailed
the presidents act as "nothing short
of an outrage"
Taking the lead 10 defense OF the
administration Senator New (Rep
Ind.) told the senate there were
''ample reasons for the dismissal,
although unfortunately there were
times when the president could not
take the country into his confidence"
1t was declared in official circles
that the dismissals of employees in the
various branches of the executive
department were being made in the
course of a gradual reorganization
and 10 the interest of efficiency.
President Harding was represented as
holding the view that under the
constitution the chief executive is
charged with the duty Of exercising
the best Judgment in the administra-
tion of the Office entrusted to him.
He is firm 10 his stand that where 1t
is for the best interests of the entire
country dismissals must be made, and
the inefficient employees must go, as
it is held that the civil service rules
do not support the contention that
their Jobs must be held for them.

PLANTS POWER OF MOTION
Enthusiasts Who Have Studied the
Subject Say That Many Un-
doubtedIy Possess 1t.

One of the chief popular distinctions
between vegetable and animal life Is
that animals have power of choice and
of voluntary motion, while vegetables
and plants grow only mechanically.
But the microscope seems to show
that many vegetable forms can move
as easily as can animals.
There is a plant called vOlvox glo-
bator, so minute that millions of 1t
could be put in drinking glass, which
is seen to whirl like top across the
field of the microscope. Some plants
found in ponds, which are still more
minute, move habitually, as with an
apparent purpose.
Naturalists who have given closer
study than others to climbing plants
state that these seem to exercise the
liberty of choice. Their tendrils, In
climbing over pieces of wood with
holes. will try one hole after another
until they find one that pleases them.
One investigator saw tendril with

INSECTS HAVE SIXTH SENSE
Ants Provided With "FeeIers," Which,
Are to Them of the Highest
Importance.

All insects and a certain number OF
other animals are provided with ap.
pendages which the ordinary man calls
feelers.
These feelers provide their owners
with a mysterious sixth sense which
we ourselves lack-a sense which is
certainly not sight, hearing, or smell.
though possibly it may be very slight
sense of touch.
1t is by stroking with their feelers
that ants discriminate between friend
and foe. You may paint an ant blue
or cover him with a strange smelling
compound, but his fellows will never
make mistake.
The lobster, the p1aWn, and the
shrimp use their feelers to guide them
when they are swimmi lg tail first top
speed. Bees and butterflies seem to
use them for examining flowers be-
fore they begin to sip the honey.
The whiskers of the cat and the rat
are stiff hairs to the roots of which
are attached very sensitive nerves. 1t
is supposed that they act as guides
when their owner is moving in the
dark. If they touch an obstacle, an
instantaneous message to the brain
enables the cat or rat to make a quick
movement to one side or the other.

TO GET MONEY BACK
Teachers to Have Refund Of
Pension Premiums.

Boise, Idaho.-All money paid
into the teachers retirement fund
will be returned to the teachers
who have paid, it was announced
Saturday following meeting of
the board created by the Legislature
of 1921 to manage the affairs of the
fund. About SI2, 900 has been
paid in by Idaho teachers.
The decision to refund ali money
was reached because of the adverse
ruling March 20 of the state
supreme court on the provisions of
the law under which teachers were
to receive a pension after so many
years work by paying in onehalf OF
one per cent of their annual salary.
The court held that the law was
not binding upon the teachers of
the state nor could the clerk of the
district in which the teacher work
ed be forced to collect the annual
amount from each teachers salary.
