Play Fast Game of Baseball Lahainas no Match for the Port Team Evangelical Churches Semi Annual Meeting No Change SUPEIIVISOKS MEETING. The County Supervisors held their monthly meeting bogining Wednesday of this week. All of the Supervisor weie pre sent except S. E. Kaiue who is still ill at bis homo anil unable to at tend the meetings. After the rending of the minutes which weie approved communica tions won read. A lotter from Tho Von tlniuin Young Company was to the effect that they had fully expected the arrival of the gasolino engine ordered last fall months ago and that they had again cabled the manufacturers to rush the ship ment of tb.e same. They believe tho engine will bo here soon. The Clerk was instructed to write 'C. 15. Wells for the return of the rock crusher. Tho same is to be delivered as soon as possible. A letter from the Superintendent of the Leahi homo stated that one of the incurables sent clown had died, one had returned to Maui and one, Harry Miller, was still in the home. A letter was read from tho County Engineer to L. Von Tom- sky, manager of the Ilaleakala Ranch, calling his attention to the fact that the fencing of tho old road was in violation of law and that the opening of tho new road there by him was illegal until aut horized by the county board. Tho letter stated that Mr. II. A. Bald win had gone over the road with tho County Engineer and acknow ledged the reasonableness of tho position of the County Engineer and that he had ordered the fences on the lands of tho Maui Agricul tural Company moved back to the width asked for by the County Engineer. Tho tone of tho letter written by Mr. Von Temsky in dicated tho desire oh his part to arrange amicably with tho County Board so that tho interests of the public would bo protec ted as well as tho interests of tho ranch.

Tho report of tho County At torney was read in which he dwelt on the work done by his office dur ing the month. Much of the at torneys time was occupied dining tho month in Circuit Court woik during tho time, succeeded in bringing about the conviction of several persons charged with serious crini's. One of these was that of Meloana K.'iaipalaoa who plead guilty to charge of perjury. An other was that of John Rodrigucs who plead guilty to tho charge of burglary and was puntenced to five years imprisonment at hard labor. The report called the attonion of the hoard to the fact that the legis lature had passed a law making it obligatory to pay all income tax or in the county where the principd) property of the tax payer was sit uated. Tho report of the Sheriff was read and placed cn file. lie reported tho conduct of the police as being good, lie had sus pended two officers, John. Brown Jr. and Paikaka for boing drunk while on duty but had reinstated both. David Taylor was dismissed from the force on account of being implicated in a forgery ca?o and has since been bound . over to ap pear before the next grand jur'. His report spoko highly of the work being done by Pcruvia Good ness who is acting as hack inspec tor by direction of tho sheriff and asked for his appointment by tho Board as such officer for -the Wai luku District. No action was tak en at tho time by tho Board as they appointed Georgo Weight to tho position some months ago and ho is still holding that oJllce. The report dealt with tho .existence of gambling houses in town run by Chinese and Japanese and recom mended the appointment of specials among that raco for the purpose of putting a stop to tho gambling. The games are Clio Fa. Tho Sheriff recommended a re gulation by tho Board requiring all hacks in tho towns of Wailuku and Kahului to bo required to re main in certain designated- places for nil hacks when not-carrying passengers instead of blocking tho streot3 us if the custom now. Tho roport of JIack and Sanitary o!Tur Georgo Weight wus read and placed on filo. The reports of tho Sanitary officers of Mnkawao and ahaina, wero road and placod on filo. Tho Board adjourned for tho day until Thursday morning at 9 A. M. Kahakuina put in a claim at tho Inst mooting of the Board for 50.00 dnmagos for tho use of a little strip of his land used by tho public since the washout of Waikina bridge in getting across tho stream there. County Engineer Howoll got tho parties interested in the hind to givo a pormanont right of way for tho sum of $20.00. The matter of an odorless ex cavator for tho use of Wailuku was' disouieciMind the Supervisors wore' united in their stand that it is un fair to the tax payers to have the excavators paid for by the territory and. then turn all of them over to the County of Oahu that uro not required by tho Board of Health that that County may use ''them free of charge for street sprinkling purposes when they are needed in other localities than Honolulu. In tho matter of the appoint ment of a hack inspector for the Wailuku District tho Board dis approved of the appointment of Poruvia Goodness by the Sheriff as no separate appropriation had been made by tho Board for such a pur pose. While it is true that Sani tary officer Georgo Weight has performed the duties of that office it i not as a separate off ico but his duties are principally that of Sani tary officer and Fish inspector while ho performs tho Hack in spectors duties free of charge. This would scorn to preclude tho right of the Sheriffs appointee to claim county pay as no appropriation has been made by the Supervisors for that purpose. Tho question of the fitness of Goodness for the posi tion has never been questioned. He is an active man and would doubtless make a good officer for that or any 0110 of a number of other office?. A letter was received from E. II. Hart and W. A. McKay asking that a light bo provided at tho corner of High and" Vineyard streets. Tho matter was referred to Road ovorseer Sommerfcld as he has the authority to put up lights where ho may think proper. KAHULUIS WALK OVfili LAHAI NAS. Kahuluis 14, Lahainas 1. Such was the result of last Sun days game of baseball between the Kahuluis and Lahainas at Wells' Park. Th.it the victors had a walkover was very evident and the Lahainas will have to put up bet ter br.ll if they aro to continue in the league. Tho Kahului team appeared in natty uniforms, while pants and red sweators with tho initiate K. A. C. neatly sewed on tho breast. Thoy looked like winners from tho very start and were prepared to meet a strong team from tho other side of the island. As it was tjioy were disappointed for the team that came over was oven worse than the team that played a practice gamo with the Kahuluis a few weeks ago and were very much in need of prac tice. In fact, thore was no go about thorn, and it seemed as if they were forced into tho game. There wore errors made by thorn in every stage of the game. The Kahuluis scored in evoi'y inning but tho sixth and seventh when the Lahainas seemed to have taken up a little courage, having scored their first run in the sixth inning.' Hampton df tho Kahuluis thon undortoak to pitch the eigth inning for tho Lahainas in order to im prove the game, but Simpson of the Kahuluis scorod his first run on intii. The audience was greatly dis- ploased at the kind of ball played by tho Lahainas and wore loud in their expressions of disploasuro. Tomorrow's game botwocn the Morning Stars and Waikapus pro mises to be of a much bettor na ture, as the two teams wilL moot this league for the first time ami both have been hard at practice. The Morning Stars will don thoir old colors of black and white while it is said that the Waikapus will appear in bl'uo.
