Maui Men to Furnish
Larger Bail Bond for
Appearance of Lake

Link McCandless is not to be secu-
rity on the bail bond for Louis Lake
Three Maui men have offered to go
on his bond and are expected to
qualify as bondsmen tomorrow. They
were expected to qualify yesterday
but 1t was impossible to get them to-
gether at that time.
After Attorney Murphy had an
nounced that he expected McCandless
would furnish the increased bond for
the appearance of Lake Mauiites
showed their readiness to offer secu.
rity. Lake returned from Honolulu
Tuesday and Immediately bail was
available for him in the increased
amount and it was announced in
court on Wednesday that his bonds
men will be Charles Wilcox, on his
present bail bond, George M. Maalo
of Makawao snd Supervisor David
t. Fleming of Honolua Ranch. They
will qualify in the necessary $4,000.
This removes the chance of politi-
cal capital being made by candidate
going upon the bail bond.

Registration on
Maui Will Exceed
All Old Figures
Systematic Efforts to Get All
Voters on Great Registry is
Meeting With Fine Success
Everywhere

Maui will have a considerably larg-
er registration for the special election
for delegate to congress when the
books close on Tuesday of next week,
than prior to the last general cleo
ton, according to reports from the
county clerks office although figures
have not been. totaled and will not
be for several days after registration
closes.
County Clerk Kaae has returned
from Molokai and says he believes all
voters on the Lonely Isle, except for
Kalaupapa, of which he knows moth
ing, are registered He went over
Monday and returned to Lahaina yes
terday. At the West Maui port he
registered a number of other voters
and then proceeded to Olowalu where
he may have to return again between
now and Tuesday.
Reports All Excellent
From every precint, Kaae says,
most encouraging reports of re-regis-
trations and registrations are coming
in, general reports being of numbers
of new voters, largely women, among
whom are numbers of women of Por-
tuguese descent. From Kahului-Puu-
nene-Spreckelsville precincts, it is re-
ported there have been considerably
more than 200 registrations. Waikiki
is now being thoroughly canvassed
with fine results, and Kihei, Waikapu
and Waihee are believed to be well
covered The same is true of Maka-
wac, Ulupalakua, Haiku, Hamakua-
poke and the surrounding country.
The registration of women as new
voters is especially gratifying. How
ever, Kaae says, there is reluctance
on the part of some women and a
disinclination to register ages as re-
quired. They have no objection to
telling their ages to the registering
officer but object to its being on the
public lists. Kaae desires it made
clear that the placing of ages on the
list is necessary and explains. that
should voter, man or woman, die
between registering and election day,
the election inspectors often have no
other means to detect an attempted
fraudulent voting by some one imper-
sonating the deceased voter, other
than through the fact of age.
Start For Kauai
Mauiites are now carrying the cam
paign into Kauai. Senator Harold w
Rice, Sheriff Clem Crowell and Repre-
sentative NJ. G. Paschoal took the XII
lauea for Honolulu Wednesday night
and will proceed on to the Garden
Island.
Up to yesterday afternoon advices
have not been received here relative
to the progress of the speaking tour
of Harry Baldwin and Sam Kalama
on the Big Island. Hilo papers com
ing through the mails tomorrow morn
ing are being awaited with interest
Registration will close next Tues

Three Employees +
Of A. & B., New
York, Fugjtives
Former Manager, Assistant
And One Other, Accused of
Issuing Half Million Dollars
Spurious Paper.
ASSOCIATED PRESS,

HONOLULU, March 8 Three
former employees of the New York
office of Alexander & Baldwin are
fugitives from justice charged with
having issued forged and fraudulent
paper, John Waterhouse, manager of
Alexander & Baldwin announced last
night.
MANAGER Waterhouse says that G.
A. Damn, who was manager of the
New York office, G. T. Kritzmeyer,
his assistant and H. S. Thomas are
the men involved in charges preferr
ed by a number of mainland banking
houses. The amount involved is said
to be more than half million dol
lars.
Explaining, Waterhouse said that
under joint power of attorney the
manager of the New York branch and
one other employe were authorized
to buy merchandise and pay for it
with two name drafts against the
main office. Thomas is alleged to
have issued three months paper sign
ed by himself which were endorsed
by the other two as acceptances of the
Alexander & Baldwin, New York
branch for payment. When the spuri-
GUS acceptances were returned to the
New York branch by the banks for
payment, the conspirators are alleged
to have taken them up with other
similar bills uttered for larger
amounts and simultaneously fioated.
Between $4,000 and 100000 of the
acceptances were paid, Waterhouse
announced and explained that mas
much as those purchasing the accept
ances had not taken the trouble to
ascertain whether or not the paper
was legal and with the high rates of
interests as prima facie evidence that
something was wrong with the paper
his company has denied its liability
and is refusing to pay for the accept
ances.

Raymond Brings Suit
To Recover for Loss
Cunningham Car

Suit to recover $4,000 under the DO
licy of insurance covering the Gun
ningham car belonging to DIR. ]. H.
Raymond which was wrecked in the
accident that was fatal to Clarence
Olson, has been brought in the Cir
cult Court by the Bank of Maui and
DR.. j. H. Raymond against the United
States Fire Insurance Company of
New York. Service of the summons and
complaint was made on the territorial
treasurer on behalf of the defendant
corporation and the papers were filed
in this district Wednesday.
The defendant insurance companv
does not regularly do business and
has not agencies in this territory, il
was said yesterday, but DR.. Raymond
took a policy in the company when
he went to the mainland with his Gun
ningham car. The policy was for
$4,000 and the original cost of the
car was $3.50. The policy, which is
written into the complaint, contains
a clause permitting the company to

condition as before the accident or o
pay the amount of its policy. There
is provision for the doing so within
a reasonable time" and precluding the

tended that five months or more is
not reasonable time.
1t is said the company has been
having the car repaired in an effort
TO have ii put in the same condition
as before the accident while from the
outset DR.. Raymond has insisted that
it should reimburse him for the loss
to the full amount of the policy.

Senator Desha Now
Certain Baldwin to
Be an Easy Winner

Senator Stephen r. Desha, who be-
fore the convention was quoted as
saying that unless John Wise was
nominated West Hawaii would go for
Link McCandless, now foresees the
election of Baldwin according to the
Hilo Tribune which published the fol-
lowing last Saturday:
"The prediction is freely made in
Honolulu that Senator Harry Bald
win will come in an easy winner on
March 25," declared Senator S. L..
Desha. And the senator had figures
to prove that the prediction would be
correct
Figures are offered
The figures produced by the sena-
tor slowed that there are approx
mately 27,772 eligible voters-men
and women-in the Territory. That
all of these citizens will not cast their
vote on March 25 is very probable,
say those who have kept tab on the
records, but still, allowing for this
contingency, an estimate recently
made in Honolulu by the leaders in
political circles, is very gratifying to
the supporters of the republican can
didate.
On Oahu there are, approximately,
1867 voters of whom 8,246 belong
to the fourth and 6,421 to the fifth
district. In the fourth district it is
estimated that 5000 votes will be
cast for Baldwin. Maui has 4,002
voters and of these $500 are almost
certain to go to Baldwin. Kauai has
2,173 voters and Hawaii 6,931.
Hawaii to Elect
"The fourth district on Oahu, plus
the Maui vote, will assure Senator
Baldwin of $500 votes or so," stated
Senator Desha yesterday. "That will
be a good start" continued the sena-
tor" and, with the votes our candidate
is sure to get on Hawaii and Kauai,
will be ample to elect him.
Senator Desha also declared that
he is working as h ard as possible
to elect Mr.. Baldwin. The fact that
the Hilo man failed in being sent to
Honolulu as delegate to the Repub-
lican convention does not make any
difference, he declares. "Fm a good
sport and l take my defeat in the
right manner was the senator's con
cluding remark.
Nativities Shown
According to the tabulation of ma
tivity of voters within this county,
made on November 2, 1920, there
were at that time 5,696 eligible voters
whose names were recorded. OF this
total 1901 were men and 1895 women.
East Hawaii voters of both sexes,
on the date mentioned, totaled 3,491,
while there were 2,204 in West Ha-
waii

Lightning Fires Million
Barrels of Oil i'm Texas
Spectacular Blaze Sweeps Gulf
Production Company Tank
Farm at Humble

HOUSTON, Tel, Nov. 12.-More
than one million barrels of oil was
doomed early tonight, and indications
were that similar amount probably
would be consumed, in a spectacular
fire sweeping the Gulf Production
Company tank farm at Humble. Light
ming caused the blaze.
Three enormous underground reser-
voirs, said to have capacity Of
100000 barrels each, caught fire, and
the blazing oil spread rapidly toward
three other nearby pits. The whole
farm consists of twenty tanks, all Of
which may be lost.
The blaze can be seen for miles.
The farm is situated on q prairie
and fears are entertained that oil will
spread beyond immediate property. The
site is three miles from Humble, how
ever, and will not menace the town.
While the oil belongs technically to
the Gulf Production Company the
earthen storage belongs to the Gulf
Pipe Line Company, subsidiary.
Workers were Handicapped in fight
ing the blaze both because of the heat
and the condition of the field. Rains
have almost flooded the section and
are fighting apparatus could not be
moved in. quickly. Efforts were being
made to keep the blaze back by the
use of steam.
