Chamber Takes Step
To Keep Balance Of
Cash in Treasury

New schedules OF dues for the
Chamber of Commerce are based on
a theory of benefit from and financial
ability to support the civic organiZa-
tion. An individual membership with
dues at only So year does not carry
sufficient revenue to meet the needs
of the Chamber and for some time
past its balance has been on the
wrong side Of the books Deficits in
the past have been met by passing
the hat" from time to time but the
new arrangement is designed to end
such collections except for some par
ticular, special and unusual occasion.
Under the new plan the four larger
plantations and Kahului railroad will
pay $50 annually. The pineapple com
panies, smaller plantations and SINH
lar corporations will pay $36. The
banks, large stores, ranches, utilities
and amusement enterprises will pay
$24. Classified for dues of $12 are
smaller stores, printing shops and
newspapers, ice, cold storage and bot
ling works, contractors and business
houses run by an individual. The in
dividual membership at Sc is still
open to officers of companies or mem
bers of firms which corporations or
firms are previously members, salar-
led men and others who have not
been otherwise classified
The committee composed of II. X
Duncan, W. A. Clark, c. c. Campbell,
II. S. Walker. and Walter II. Engle
will conduct an energetic campaign
to increase the membership in all di-
rections.

Try First Case
Under Hawaiian
Dry Amendment
Defense Fails In Attempt To
Dismiss Higashiguchi Case
On Technicality; Case To
Jury Today.

For the first time since the enact
ment of a federal prohibition law and
its amendment giving to- the terri
torial courts concurrent jurisdiction
with those of national government. a
prisoner is on trial in the circuit court
charged with felony, a second viola
tion of the Volstead Act after convic
tion for first offense. The case of
the Territory VS. |. Higashiguchi went
to trial yesterday and is still in pro
gress today
Trial of the case followed the de
NAL Of three motions made by Eugene
Murphy, attorney for the defense, one
to quash, another in abatement and
third the interpostion of demur-
rer. He thus established three grounds
for appeal at the outset. The chief
point of interest attaching to the case
is whether or no the extension of con
current Jurisdiction is valid and if so
whether procedure must be introduced
INTO territorial court practice.
Disputed Points Argued
Murphy contended that while con
current jurisdiction obtains in local
courts as per the act of Congress, the
Nolstead Act as a federal statute must
be tried according to federal proceed
ure. f'or this reason, he argued, the
indictments against Higashiguchi. as
returned by a territorial grand Jury,
were invalid
Frank Crockett, deputy county at
toney, countered with the reply that
the amendment was in effect a federal
law, but that the fact prohibition iur-
lsdiction applies in circuit courts
made the following of federal proceed
ure unnecessary.
AT the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Case denied all three of the
points brought up by Murphy. 1t was
later pointed out that if the law was
interpreted along the lines suggested
by the local attorney the presence of
federal grand jury in addition TO the
county body would be necessary at all
times and that it would further in
Volve other departments of govern
mental machinery in the Territory.
AS the trial opened three separate
indictments stood against Higashi-
guchi, the first charging him with sell
ing corn whiskey and the remaining
two with selling okolehao. Under the
law he is liable, as a second offender.
TO penalty fixed for a felony.
The defendant pleaded not guilty,
selection of the jury was undertaken
Immediately and the trial formally
began during the afternoon session.

indictments Found;
Pleas Entered and
Calendar Arranged

Eight more indictments, making IA
Ior the session, were returned by the
grand jury on Friday afternoon in a
final report. The indictments were
against a. F. Turner, malicious CON
version in taking an automobile from
neat the Far Grounds at Fair time;
Charley Allina for forgery in connec-
ton with attempts to pass a check
payable TO the order of Julia S.
Aiken; G. ID. Laczi, offense against
young girl under Is; X. Kitahara,
three counts for alleged second viola
ton of national prohibition law;
three against |. Higashiguchi alleging
second offenses against the national
prohibition law and one against Enos
Vincent alleging embezzlement, the
charges arising out of his settlement
Of a law suit.
Defendants Plead
Arrangements were made on Satur-
day morning of the indictments re-
turned Friday and of several of those
who We're given further time to plead
Friday morning, Two pleas of guilty
were entered. Ramoro Reveira plead
ed guilty TO three charges of incest.
The court sentenced him to not less
than five nor more than ten years
on one Indictment not less than two
nor more than five years on a second
indictment, the sentences to run con-
currently, and on the third indict-
ment not less than two nor more than
hVe years to run consecutively with
the other two. Attorney w. f. Crock
EFT explained that the defendant had
had head trouble" when young and
was regarded as probably insane then
and that the offenses were committed
after he had been drinking. The court
took the former excuse under con-
sideration but not the latter. He had
faced charges for manslaughter prev
iously.
Charley Akina was only % years
of age but has been in trouble for
larceny twice. The court took into
consideration his age and wanted to
give him a possibility to reform and
so the sentence was one to two years
and $50 fine. Time for Gi Chag Lii
TO plead was extended to yesterday
morning and fors b. Lambert until
tomorrow morning.
Kaelo Kaliikane pleaded not guilty
TO assault with weapon and his case

ruled one OF the Higashiguchi cases

day and Friday. c. ID. Laczi pleaded
not guilty and his case was set for
yesterday but was nolle pressed and
the IIigashiguchi case was started in
stead.
Vincent pleaded not guilty and ask
ed that his case be passed until the
return from the mainland of A. f.

Chamber Grateful To
All Who Helped Make
Maui Reputation Good

Thanks of the Maui Chamber of
Commerce are extended to all who
participated in the work of receiving
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce eXcursionists and in making
their stay here thoroughly enjoyable.
Chairman w. O. Aiken of the enter
tainment committee reported last
Thursday on the success of the pro
gram OF entertainment that was un-
dertaken
In presenting his report Aiken com
mented on the number of automobiles
that were in readiness and the fine
spirit shown by citizens who used
their cars for transporting the visitors
and gave their services as guides.
They receive the Chambers thanks
He then commented on the way the
cars and transportation problems
were handled by c. E. Morris, L. Il.
Bevins and c. c. Conradt, and thanks
are extended to them The luau COM
mlttee, w. A. Clark and II. K. Dun
can were next to be commended. Not
least by any means, he said, was the
Hawaiian entertainment which was
staged by Mrs. A. Garcia. He said
that entertainment put the touch of
Hawaiian into the affair that was
needed and that Mrs. Garcia and all
who assisted here We're surely to be
complimented. He touched on the
Cryer criticism of the hula and said
that from his conversation with num-
bers of the visitors the Mayor of Los
Angeles did not voice the general
view. He thought that with the Cryer
criticism of the dance and the publ
city given L. A. Thurston's views of
the hula in general and of the eXEi-
bition of it at Maui the Island nad
received a considerable amount of ad-
ditional publicity.
From Lorrin X SmitVcame re
port on the financial e1l of the enter
tainment which shq4W a deficit of
something more { n $40 which the
Chamber of Com1lerce will pay. The

shows, was A9762.

Grand jury Indicts
Attorney Vincent
For EmbezzIanlent

Indictment Of Attorney Enos Vim
cent by the grand jury created de
cided stir when the news of the re-
port became circulated Saturday
morning. The bill found is for en-
bezzlement and grows out of his set
tlement of the case of =. f. Pereira
VS.. koike Vincent says he will ask
a full investigation of his conduct in
the case by the attorney generals Of
hce and Deputy Frank Crockett said
he would ask special prosecutor for
the case from the attorney general.
The case was passed until after the
return of A. f. Tavares from the main
land, he being Vincent's chief witness.
The case from which the Indictment
arose was to recover a debt from
hoike and an attachment was issued
at the request of Eugene Murphy at
torney for Pereira. Koike was pine.
apple planter and his crop was mort
gagged to Haiku Fruit Company. The
company Vincent says. wanted to
avoid possible litigation and asked
him to settle, naming q certain figure
and telling him to retain any differ
ences between the amount Of the set
tlement and the amount they offered
as his fee. That is the sum, he says.
that he is charged with having EN-
bezzled. He denies having had any
dealings with Koike or having receiv-
ed or handled any of Koike's money
He made payment with his own check
and two days later received the check
from Haiku Fruit company reimburs-
ing him, the check being for the
amount specified in his agreement
with the company as the outside fig
ure it was TO pay.
Vincent was special counsel for the
attorney general in the Bevns dis
barment proceedings and that fact in
creased the comment upon the action
of the grand jury. The county at
torney's office says, however, that the
case moved to the grand jury room
on charges by persons interested di-
rectly and was not in any wise stirred
up by the prosecution.

the Navy League calling attention to
The fact that next Friday will be
Navy Day Mauf News is in re-
ceipt Of a letter on the same subject
from President Kelly Emphasis on
Navy Day the importance of what the
navy has done in the past and its i'm
poltance in the present is asked.
In part the letter to Maui News
says:
"The Navy rendered vital service
to the nation and to humanity during
the World War, No great fleet action
was fought to give spectacular en-
phasis to its vital contribution to the
victory. But the convoy, the anti
submarine patrol, the mine barrage
were essential factors in the winning
of the war and the saving of civiliza-
tion. So it has been in every crisis
of our history-the Navy has not fail
ed. In the Revolution, the War of
1872, the Civil War, the Spanish-Am-
erican War, victory without the Navy
would have been virtually impossible.
Today our peace and prosperity are
safeguarded by the Navy. 1t is an
agent of stability in a troubled world
It carries no threat, but it lends au-
thority TO Americas voice, speaking
for aitruism, justice and law.
Integral Part of Nation
"On Navy Day we would celebrate
the conservation 10 duty of the per-
sonnel OF the present Navy, the glori-
GUS services rendered to the nation
by the Navy of the past. We would
emphasize its unity with every inter
est and activity OF the national life.
1t is good for the people to stop
moment ana consider what has caused
the nations prosperity and greatness.
The Navy has played no small part
in the progress of America to its
present state of influence.
Not Jingosts
Those who proposed the celebra-
lion of Navy Day, who urged upon
you what they believe to be an oppor-
tunity OF patriotic service, are ad-
vocates of peace. They believe in
and support the policy of reduction
of armaments by agreement but re-
iect as absurd the faulty of disarma-
ment by example. Living in world
of reality they would foster the in
strument of their security while look
ing forward to the realization of the
ideal not yet attained when the only
security needed by mankind shall rest
in the hearts and minds OF men and
nations"
