Liberty House Will
Bring Monday Special
Sale To Maui BUYERS

1t is out of the question for Maui
customers of the Liberty House 10
run over to Honolulu to take advan-
tage of the Monday Special Sales The
store offers. Even were it not for the
expense, the time and the trouble of
the trip the announcements of the
bargains that are to be offered come
to Maui too late to take a steamer and
so Valley Islanders have grown 10 feel
that such Monday Specials were speci-
al for Honolulans only. This the Lib
erty House has recognized and since
Mauiites could not come to the Mon
day Sale, the store brings a Monday
Sale to Maui, as is told in the page
advertisement which appears in this
issue of Maui News.
Mrs. Marion Drake has been often
enough on Maui as head of the mail
order department of the big Honolulu
concern to make many friends. She
will be in charge of the sale on Mon
day. During her visits here she has
demonstrated that the Liberty House
sends the same goods away from Ho-
nolulu that it offers to home custom
ers, does not unload" them on the
other Islands and the advertisement
says that most of the articles that are
to be offered here Monday are so offer
ed for the first time, before having
been shown in Honolulu.
. The prices named in the advertise
ment certainly look attractive and the
name Liberty House is a guaranty of
style and quality.

HiIO Would Upset
Dates For Visits
Los Angeles Party

Some misunderstanding appears to
have arisen in regard to the possible
postponement for a week of the de-
parture from Los Angeles of the Cham
Der of Commerce excursion and its
arrival on Maui which was reported
at the last meeting of the Maui Cham
Der oil Commerce It also appears
that the dates mentioned in the letter
OF VIII j. Cooper which called for the
party being on Maui September H.,
still stand although an effort is be-
ing made to Hilo TO have changes
made in the itinerary so that the party
would reach Honolulu instead of the
Big Island on Friday September Is.
At the meeting of the Maui Cham
Der letter on the subject of the Los
Angeles excursion was read by the
secretary. Lorrin K. Smith, Maui
representative on the Tourist Bureau
said that at the meeting of the latter
body few days previous it was said
that the plans had been set back one
week. a committee composed of the
committee on promotion the commit
tee on entertainment and the mem
Der of the Tourist Bureau was named
to make arrangements for the visit
to Maui and entertainment during
their stay.
Since the meeting of the Maui
Chamber there was announcement of
the naming of an Ad Club committee
with no mention of change of date for
arrival, letter has come to the Maui
Chamber from Ernest B. Clark, secre-
tary of the Honolulu Chamber of
Commerce telling of the postpone
ment of the Civic Convention to Sep
tember 2S, and 90, because of the "ar-
rival in Hilo Of the Los Angeles Ex-
cursion on September Is"
From the Hilo and Honolulu papers
it appears that Hilo has gone ahead on
the assumption that the dates original
set were final for Hilo has asked the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce to
have the itinerary changed as Hilo
harbor will have the Mauna Kea and
Matsonia in on September Is, and the
latter has a big cargo of sugar to
load Shortage of taxis would also re-
suit if the excursion came in while
tourists from the other two steamers
were on Hawaii 1t was added that
September 16 is Regatta Day in Homo
lulu affording amusement and enter
tainment for visitors on that date.
Meantime the only safe thing for
the Maui committee is to start it's
plans for the original date, September
II, and change them to meet another
date if the itinerary should be chang
ed as Hilo proposes.
If such change should be made it
would put the party in Hilo probably
September % and 23 for the steamer
is now scheduled leave on its return
voyage September %, at noon. That
would probably mean arrival in Kahu-
lui the night OF the 21st and departure
the night Of the 22nd, if the visit to
Maui were still included in the timer
airy as it is proposed to change it.

Prison Sentence
In Prohibition
Case May Result
Arrest After Previous Plea Of
Guilty Brings Up Point In
Magistrates Court At Ma
kawao

In the Makawao magistrates court
before Magistrate M. S. Pacheco this
morning there is being held hear
ing in charges under the prohibition
law which may result in the holding
of the prisoner for the grand jury
in an effect to secure penetentiary
sentence on the grounds that the
charges constitute second offense.
This is the first time that issue has
been raised on Maui. At 10:3O the
hearing was in progress and 1t was
considered doubtful if it would be
ended today.
K Kitihara, japanese care taker on
the McPhee homestead, was arrested
by Federal Prohibition Enforcement
Officer Crabbe for the second time on
Wednesday afternoon, charged with
Illicit manufacture of liquor. On the
former occasion he pleaded guilty and
was fined.
Officer Crabbe received information
that Kitihara was again manufactur-
ing liquor, he says, and started to in
vestigate He says that he met the
japanese in Makawao and told him he
wanted to look over his place again
that he heard he was making liquor.
The man got into the car with him
and went to the homestead up the
mountain Crabbe said he found
about 300 gallons of rice wine or
"swipes," five gallons of okolehao and
a lot of mash. He added that the
Japanese inquired how much it would
cost him this time.
Crabbe said that as it was an ar
rest for a second offense he would ask
that Kitihara be held for action by the
grand jury, the first time such action
would have been taken on Maui
Eugene Murphy is attorney for XII
tihara and indicated he would object
to the admission of the stuff seized as
evidence on the ground of illegal
search and seizure alleging that
Crabbe had no search warrant. That
point has been decided by Magistrate
Mossman in Wailuku but not by Magis
trate Pacheco in Makawao. The Wal
luku decision is against admissability
of such evidence where seized by a
federal officer.
Deputy County Attorney Crockett,
Officer Crabbe and Attorney Murphy

Two Cases Dismissed
w. Saiki, arrested for second time
the first case against him having been
nolle pressed and Japanese woman
whose first name is Tama were in the
Wailuku magistrates court Wednes-
day, both accused of having liquor in
possession. There were indications
that the prisoners were making "rice
wine" or "swipes" but the stuff was
too young to bring a conviction, lack
ing the necessary alcoholic content
and there was not proof of such con-
tent, so the case against the man was
dismissed and that against the woman
was nolle pressed.
