for shipping for Hama has a fine little
harbor and an excellent wharf along.
side of which vessels with a draft of
"a feet can land.
In two year there have been num-
erous changes made in the manage-
ment of the various affairs of the
plantation and last spring George
Glib, for a number of years at Olo-
walu Plantation and since then on the
Big Island, was appointed manager.
He has planted over something more
than 200 acres since he went to Hama
and the 1929 plant will exceed 400
acres.
Hama suffered severely from labor
shortage but last reports from the
plantation said there is now an ade-
quate supply so that better crops next
season and the n following are GER
tainly expected. 1t is also reported
that the rat peril is being controlled.
The mill recently installed a new,
large system and new centri-
fugal pumps and ~COndensers.
Plantation camps have recently
been given an overhauling and i'm
provement. Other new buildings in
clude fine stables for the shelter of
the $50 mules and other livestock of
the company. For the amusement of
the workers there are two motion pic
ture houses and not long since a
branch of the Maui County Free Ii
brary was installed.
William Spinner is head bookkeeper
and has been found able and obliging.
In connection with the plantation
the company conducts a store, both
wholesale and retail, with stocks of
goods that compare most favorable
with stocks carried on the coast. JOS
eph Herrscher. as a former successful
California merchant, has shown es-
pecial interest in that branch of the
business. He is also postmaster and
has installed new boxes in the pos
office and other improvements. He
now has the services of Joseph Xavier
who vas formerly assistant post
master at Waikiki.
Mr.. Herrscher is president of the
Hama Ice and Electric Company, two
extremely necessary utilities, and
Joseph Chalmers, engineer of the
plantation, is a director of the COM
pany. AS mentioned, Mr.. Herrscher
is deeply interested in the expansion
of the store which does a general
merchandise business.
That end of the Island is looking
forward to a belt road to connect up
with Waikiki in the near future, and
the company is ready to erect a hotel
large enough to accommodate all who
may come.
Before coming to the Islands, Joseph
Herrscher was a successful merchant
of San Leandro, California. Born in
Bavaria in 1862, he went to San Lean
dro at the age of 16 years and secured
a position as clerk in a store. Before
he was quite 81 years of age he en-
tered business for himself and built
that business up to the largest of his
town. He was organizer of the First
National Bank there, also. In addition
to his important businss interests he
became a large real estate holder in
his home city and other California
communities.

paid for itself many times since in

Twenty years later, in 1898 but not
completed until 1901 was the Lowery
Ditch for the II. c. e S. Co., which
had an elevation of 400 feet or more
and was to supply Puunene. That
ditch was between 20 and 25 miles
in length also.
In the years 1903 and 1904 the Koo-

put through. The Koolau ditch runs
from Nahiku to Waiakamoe and is

Baldwin Home

The Baldwin Home was established
as a home for aged men by Mr.. H.
p. Baldwin in 1910 as a memorial to
his deceased son, Fred Baldwin.
The home is located on one of the
best residence sites of Maui, just
above Paia where the checkered val
ley of Central Maui serves as a beau
tiful tapestry leading on to the o
derful panorama of the Waikiki
mountains, the blue sea and Molokai
standing in bold relief behind Kaha-
kuloa Point. The buildings stand on
spacious ground, arranged in a with
enclosed gardens. At present there
are "a inmates of the home. They are
well cared for and given considerable
freedom so that life may be as pleas
ant for them as possible.
The management of the home is
under a Board of Trustees. Mr.. H.
A. Baldwin, is president; Mrs. H. p.

er members of the board are H. w.

frequently called the Hama plantation.
That end of the Island has boosted
of two plantations but Kipahulu has
been sold by the Fassoth interests and
is destined for pineapple growing.
Kaeleku Sugar Company is a close
corporation, owned by the Grinbaum
estate. Edmond E. Herrscher, who
married Miss Grinbaum, is president
of the company and Joseph Herrscher,
his father, is representative of the
president and directors of the COM
pany on its property. He has now
been in Hama less than two years but
has taken a most prominent place in
the affairs of the country the other

the forecast was realized. AS com

1871 crop was 1900 tons and the last

In its boiling room there have been

to the old ditch to about the height
of the Clark place and has an eleva-
ton of between 100 and 1900 feet.
Now in course of construction is
the Wailoa project and it will not be
completed until next year. 1t parallels
the new Hamakua ditch and its first
unit, to Halehaku was completed in
September 1921. The second unit
runs in from Halehaku in. In this
project there are about SH miles of
tunnels. Only recently railroad
tracks through the second unit were
removed and before such removal
several parties of interested sight
seeing Mauiites were taken through
on a number of occasions.
In all of the 225 miles of water
system there are probably between
% and 25 miles of tunnels. What the
actual cost has been is uncertain as
in early days there was no adequate
cost system kept and some work done
was afterw2rd abandoned or has
been replaced. However it is esti-
mated that not less than $4,000, 600
has been spent.
To get supplies through to workers
on the project the company has built
many miles of roads of which the
county has had the benefit and also
many more miles of trails and so it
is that the utility ditch trail has be-
come one of the most charming, de.
lightful and scenic horseback trips
that the sightseer can ask.

at any moment something might
give his brain the one little hint
which it wanted Inspector Birch
was just pursuing the ordinary.
Whatever else this case was, it was
not ordinary. There was something
uncanny about it.
Antony went on with his thoughts.
The coroner was summing up. The
jury, he said, had now heard all the
evidence. The medical evidence
would probably satisfy them that
Robert Albeit had died from The
effects of a bullet-wound in the
head. Who had fired that bullet?
If Robert Albeit had fired it himself,
no doubt they would bring i'm YER
dict of suicide, but if this had been
SO, where was the revolver which
had fired it, and what had become Of
Mark Albeit?
If they disbelieved in this posi-
bihty of suicide, what remained? Ae-
cidental death, justifable homicide
and murder. Could the deceased
have been killed accidentally? 1t
was possible, hst then would Mark
Albeit have run away?
The evidence that he had run
away from the scene of the crime
was strong. His cousin had seen
him go into the room, the servant
Elsie Wood had heard him quarrel
ing with his brother in the room,
the door had been locked from the
| inside, and there were signs that out
side the open window someone had
| pushed his way very reenctly
through the shrubbery. Who, if not
Mark?
They would have then to consider

he had been guiltless of his brothers
| death. No doubt innocent people
lost their heads sometimes. It was
possible that if it were proved after
ward that Mark Albeit had shot his
brother, it might also be proved
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-08-23

that he was justified in so doing,
and that when he ran away from
his brothers corpse he had really
nothing to fear at the hands of the
law. Mark Albeit guilty of murder

They considered it. They an
nounced that the deceased had died
as the result of a bullet-wound, and
that the bullet had been fired by his
brother, Mark Albeit.
Bill turned round to Antony at his
side. But Antony was gone. Across
the room he saw Andrew Amos and
Parsons going out of the door to-
gether with Antony between them.
THE inquest had been held at the
Lamb" at Stanton; at Stanton Rob-
ert Albeit was to be buried the next
day. Bill waited about outside Tor
his friend, wondering where he had
gone.
Then, realizing that Cayley would
be coming out to his car directly,
and that farewell talk with Cayley
would be a little embarrassing, he
wandered round to the yard at the
back of the inn, lit cigarette, and
stood surveying torn and weather
beaten poster on the stable wall,

Antony didn't say anything. He
was staring at the poster.

suddenly, Did Mark ever have

What was Marks general health

Hardly at all, should think. He
did "a lot of early morning exercises

They didn't do that, but they
