BOLLES SPEAKS AT
 BANKERS MEETING
Hartford Man Describes Work
 Of Clearing House

The working of the clearing house in Hartford was explained in an ad dress before the members of the New Britain Banking chapter, American Institute of Banking, at the monthly meeting held at the National bank last evening, by Calvin c. Bolles of Hartford.
 Mr. Bolles explained that the main feature of the clearing house was to stabilize banking. He explained that it protects the so-called weak sis ters' of the organization.
 According to Mir. Bolles, the clear ing house was first started in London four centuries ago when merchants going from town to town would stop at one meeting place and exchange goods and checks.
 In telling of the work Of the clear ing house in Hartford MT. Bolles stat ed that it has donU great deal of good and in many ways 1t aids the banks.
 29S Clearing Houses.
 He further stated that in the 29S cities where the cleaHing houses are located in thisS country the staff of that house will examine the local banks and 1t is not necessary for the bankers to depend upon federal or state men to make the examination such as is the case in New Britain.
 The Hartford clearing house, he stated, was organized about 40 years ago. The Phoenix bank in that city acts as the manager for the clearing house. He also stated that the house has legislative committee which often times appears before the legjs- lature to have certain bank laws changed or revised.
 Hartford Anniversary.
 MT. Bolles extended cordial in- vitation to the members of the local chapter to attend the celebration of the goth anniversary of the Hartford banking chapter to be held in that city on June.10 of this year.
 The meeting was presided over by Gustave Winger, president of the To- cal organization. He announced that the members of the chapter from Bristol had arranged for a meeting to be held at the Elks' home in that city some time in April.

Interesting Points
Involved In Case

Questions of law that are decidedly
interesting are involved in the case of
Nj. Hirotsu VS. George S. Aiken heard
in the Waikiki magistrates court by
Judge Mossman this week, a decision
to be handed down within the next
few days. The case arises out of the
passing of a raised check by Truax
several weeks ago. Eugene Murphy
is for the plaintiff and Enos Vincent
for the defense. 1t is not improbable
that either way the case is decided
it will be taken direct TO the Supreme
Court.
At the trial Vincent confessed .iudg-
ment for his client in 500, the amount
for which it is asserted the check was
originally filed out and Murphy de
clined to accept such judgment for
his client, claiming $120, the amount
the check called for when it was cash
ed by his client.
Questions of negligence in the is
suance of the check, contributory neg
ligence on the part of Hirotsu in cash
ing 1t, a difference between an alter
ing of a document and the filling in
of a blank space in a document end
several other issues are involved. On
some of them there are different lines
of decisions and there are some : oints
that appear not to have been aujudi-
Gated by the courts OF the Territory.

Stone Crusher Will
Be- Started Next Week

Next week is expected to see the
start of the new stone crusher Of the
Kahului railroad. 1t is awaiting the
installation by Maui Electric Com
pany of a transformer and some heav-
Ter wires. the materials having come
in on the last Wilhelmina. 1t has
turned its engines over and knows
they are in working order and now
waits for the added power. 1t will
be the largest individual consumer
of power from the Electric Company
and special provisions had to be made
for handling the added load.
Maui Electric Company has already
installed several of the eight new
transformers purchased to improve it's
service and the others soon are to ne
installed, when better service may be
expected. 1t is hoped the rise and
fall OF the current can be cured but
if not other steps will be taken to Sc.
cure a further steadying. A varying
drain upon the current is responsible
for present conditions.
Manager Blair of the company says
it must be remembered that for ten
years the plant practically stood still
and so fell far behind the require
ments and the demands that fell upon
it when taken over by the new com
pany. n survey is now being made
to determine just what are the re-
quirements to put the system into the
shape necessary to meet Maui's needs.

Use of Library Even
In Short Month Has
Splendid Increases

Significant of the growing use of
the Maui County Free Library is the
showing made in the report of Miss
Marion Morse, the librarian, for the
month of February when an increase
of more than so percent over January
was shown. This increase was made
in the face of the facts that last
month was a short month in the cal
endar and for four days of the month
there was no service rendered be
cause the library was moving from
old to its present quarters.
In Wailuku in February circulation
increased from 500, the January fig
ures, to 1444 Since moving the read
ing is being used even more
than the old room, especially by chill
dren and in day times.
Reports from the outside branches
for February could not be secured at
this time but the January reports of
such service from nine branches show
ed a circulation of 1928.
Last month 1914 books were cata-
logged, $40 were shipped to branches
WHICH brought the total out at the
branches up. to 1116.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE
Editor of Maui News:

Editor of Maui News:
The American Sabbath is our oldest
national holiday and one of the vitality
fundamental institutions of our ma,
tional life, in that ii is one of the
chief causes for our national emf
nence today. Therefore it is not only
i~rreligious but unpatriotic to desc
crate this holiday by using it for other
purposes than were originally intend
ed.
The original purpose of our Colonial
fathers for the day, as | believe, was
physical, mental, moral and spiritual
refreshment. For this purpose all in
dustrial and commercial activities on
that day were reduced to the essen
tial minimum. All places doing bust.
ness simply for profit can not be con
sidered essential, and should be closed
on Sunday, as congress is at present
considering doing for the District of
Columbia. Fol this reason | believe
the Wild West Show planned for ex.
hibition on a near Sunday at the Maui
County Fair Grounds would not be in
keeping with the purpose of the day.
All foreigners who come to our land
should be favorably impressed with
our Christian Sabbath. If we do not
honor it and cherish it, not many gen.
erations hence there will be no Chris.
tian Sabbath in Hawaii.

Hold Sale Tomorrow

Waikiki Public School leads Maui
in its work in domestic economy. 1t

problem of serving a really delicious

to such announcement.
Beginning at 1920 tomorrow morn

good things, and it is promised it will
be the best place on Maui to make
purchases for the Sunday dinner. Fol

rummage sale, where some real bar
gains may be picked up.
Miss Ida Orchard, principal of
the school, says that scholars and
teachers alike have been working hard
on the project which is designed to

Three Happy Events Make
This Date Most Memorable

terest.
Thirty five years ago Mr.. and Mrs.

Attacking Mr.. Rowers.

A news dispatch from Martinsburg
to the Baltimore Sun of yesterday
says:
Public criticism of the appointment
OF George M. Bowers, Jr., son of Rep
sentative George M. Bowers, as a dep
uty federal prohibition agent, was made
by the Rev. Frank Steelman, pastor
of the First Methodist Church, Of this
city, both in his address to his Sunday
school class on Sunday and at the eve
ming church service, and by Sam Small.
a visiting reform lecturer Confirma-
tion of the appointment was received
Friday, Mr. Steelman asked a packed
auditorium Sunday night if there was
anyone present who thought the ap-
pointee qualified, and there was no re-
sponse. Sam Small said it was the
fault of the people if their officers
were not satisfactory, and the prohi-
bition laws were not enforced, because
the people always had the right to
oust the officers on the ground of non-
performance of duty.
Why not give Mr. Bowers a chance
to prove himself? He will agree with
his critics, we have no doubt, that there
is great need of activity on the part
OF the federal authorities, who have
been worse than useless in this dis
trict for years past-but now he has
the opportunity to bring about change
and we are for giving him fair show
Let's see what he will do in the next
six months or so.
We think that any change will be
for the better. The indifference and
inefficiency OF the federal authorities
in West Virginia, both in the field and
in the courts, has caused the moon
sinners and bootleggers to regard them
with contempt, and the enemies Of the
prohibition laws have been unrestrain-
ed. Let Mr.. Bowers now confound his
critics by doing his duty to the fullest
extent.
